New Extensions and a bit of chatter and goals.

Hello Gals!

This may be a little bit of a long and waffle-y post so bare with me a little bit!

I said that I was doing something different with my extensions so this is my big reveal! They turned out so well that I was quite shocked. I did not think that the dye would take to them quite so well but it did so I'm happy.

This is the original colour of them just after washing them with the pre-colour shampoo (by La Riche Directions if anyone wants to buy it. It comes highly recommended by me).

This is the dye. Yes, I went for PINK! Haha. I was really inspired by some of the Black Diamond gals and their pink and silver or pink and blonde hair and some of the comments on my previous posts about my extensions helped me along with the decision. I have to say that the colour of the dye is just amazing! I really wish it was practical to have my whole hair that colour.

This is the extensions during dye-time. Although the pot says to leave it on only around 45mins I always find that that is never enough with La Riche and I tend to leave it on for about 3 hours. I have read that this is completely fine because of the fact semi-perm dye is conditioning so that's what I did with the extensions as well.

This is how them look while in, except the lighting on my camera makes my hair look blonde! It is still silver though haha. I was really pleased with how it turned out, if you'll excuse the herpy-derp face haha.

Now I want to quickly touch on my current fitness goals! I'm going to a festival on the 8th of August called Boomtown Fair that I've been wanting to go to for a while. I finally got tickets and I have to say I'm sooo excited! I can't even begin to tell you. In celebration of this (if celebration is the right word) I'm wanting to lose about 20lbs before I go so I can wear the summery clothes and feel comfortable in it all, along with the fact I've decided to dress-up for the first night as Alice in Wonderland and, lets face it, no one wants to see a chubby Alice now do they? So here are my little diet and fitness goals.

- Get back to following the Blogilates fitness calenders and work out 6 days a week.

- Eat clean and healthy food.

- No more take-aways.

- Cut down my sweet habit (I have a huge sugar addiction at the minute and eat sweets everyday... eep!). I want to only eat them once a week.

- Lose 20lbs by the 8th of August.

- Drop a Dress Size by the festival.

So there we go! Have a great weekend Gals!

Merry xmas, Happy new year and all that jazz!

I know it's late but it's really hard to find the time to actually sit down and write a post. I've been doing so many things to the flat and xmas season is always busy in our family and my boyfriend's been having loads of time off. Which also means I've had barely any time to get dressed up. I've been having to run into town quickly when the electric runs out or something which leaves me pretty much no time to do my hair and make properly. I've been a normal woman for the past few weeks and I'm bored! I'm really bored. I need to bring more gyaru into my life again.

Anywho, when did I last post? Before my birthday? I think it's birthday outfit and hairmake time. Please excuse the herpy-derpy looks in these. I'd been up all night and was still pretty plastered when I took them haha, but what else are birthday's for?

OMG SO HERPY and my eyelash is falling off but yeah, you get the idea.

My dress and shoes. Excuse the blimp-arm.

Caaaaake. It was actually blood gorgeous. Our oven broke otherwise my boyfriend would have baked one for me. What's the use of having a chef for a boyfriend if he doesn't make you yummy things, eh?

And now for my pressies. The following ones are the things my boyfriend got me.

Super Duper Cow Torch! We always end up running out of electric and I have to feel around in the dark for the metre key so as a joke be bought me this. Isn't it cute?!

Kitchen Scales. I love baking and I've having to measure things by eye or in terms of "cups" which is just a disaster made to happen, plus they are in my favourite colour besides pink haha.

This body scrub is actually the best thing I've ever used in terms of shower/bath things. Almost completely replaces bottled body scrub and it's recycled. I love the shape of it too. Looks so cute in our wash room.

And finally, POSH WASH! Especially for princesses! Haha. I love the bottle. The wash smells lovely but the bottle is great. I'm going to keep it and fill it up with other shower gels when it runs out.

The following things were from my parents.

Smelly pillows! They go in your drawers and make your clothes smell yummy.

Make up bag. It came with a little set of eyeshadows, a small nail-file and a lipgloss.

More Hello Kitty stuff! Hello Kitty and Pink Leopard print, what more could I need from a tote?

The rest of the stuff I will show you now in my... BRAND NEW BEDROOM TOUR! I haven't got pics of the kitchen/living room because it's still pretty masculine haha.

Our gorgeous bed (and ugly storage heater)! It came with the flat. Isn't it beautiful?! The duvet set and pillows I got for my birthday from my parents. Gorgeous aren't they?

The artwork on the wall is from my parents again. I finally have a floor-length mirror and look! We have beams!

This is one of the pressies from my boyfriend's mum. I love it! She always gets me something cupcakey. My boyfriend doesn't mind as I let him have a lot of his little posters and things around so the bedroom is a bit more of my girly things, you know?

That's it really. I'll show you the pics of my xmas stuff in another blog entry so I don't completely over-load you with picspam.
Let me know how your xmas and new years went! We had a quiet one really, my boyfriend and I went over to his mums and had a nice meal with some of his family and then camped out in her living room and got pretty pissed. It's not the usual party I'm used to doing on NYE but it was nice to just be together. Heh, I'm such a sap!

Last picture, just a makeup and hair look from yesterday and a pressie from my friend:

Gosh this camera makes me look like a sheet! But ignore the boobs, look above them, what's that? NYAN CAT NECKLACE (￣▽￣*)! My life is complete.

Last thing guys and gals; we now live next door to the library and I found they stock Manga! The lady in there said they want to start stocking more and I should give her a list of any series I'd like to see in there. I've currently got out Nana and Fruits Basket (I've seen the Anime but never read the manga) and I wanted to know if any of you have any recommendations? I like things like Love Hina, Chobits, that kind of thing. Any Manga with Gyaru themes that isn't explicit? I don't really want to give that impression of myself to the local librarian haha (•̀ᴗ•́)و ̑̑!

Thanks (oﾟ▽ﾟ)o

Finally feeling festive. A few early birthday pressies.

I feel totally spoilt at the moment. My parents came to bring up the little xmas tree they had because we were lacking anything festive in the new flat. They also brought me pressies! I'm keeping most of them to open tomorrow but there were a couple of things they wanted me to open while they were there as I wont see them on the actual day of my birthday. Meep.

Our xmas tree! Excuse the table carnage haha.

About half of my birthday pressies! I feel so spoilt this year. I have more pressies then I've had since I was a little'un, even on my 21st I didn't get this many haha.

These are the items I opened while my parents were here.

The throw and the pillows. The Pillows are actually for the bed but the duvet covers I asked for are still wrapped up for tomorrow so I've made them sofa cushions for now. I had to explain to my boyfriend that they were decorative pillows, not for sleeping on. He's like "What, just to look at? We're not even gonna give them to guests to sleep with?" I had to explain that you wouldn't give them a canvas print to sleep on so you wouldn't make them sleep on the pillows either! Men, eh? So ignorant to interior design haha.

He made it up to me by joining in the fun and giving me an early birthday pressie. He said he didn't know how he was going to be able to wrap it so he might as well give it me now haha.

Strawberry icecream lip balm! It actually smells delicious. I would eat it if I didn't know it was lip balm haha.

I've finally decided on the hair and makeup styles for tomorrow. I'm going to try and practice them today if I get the flat cleaned in time before my boyfriend comes home with his cousin. These are the pictures I'm getting inspiration from:

Makeup

Hair

God I hope I can pull off the hair. I've done suji before so it should be ok. Meep. I'm kinda excited about tomorrow now. I don't know if I'll get chance to post but those of you who follow me on twitter might get a twitpic or two.

AFRO!

Look, I'm keeping up with blogging! I just wanted to share with you the lenses I got from iwantcute.com. They are Geo Magic lenses in Green.

This is the difference in my eyes, no makeup with one in and one out. (as you can tell). I already have quite big eyes anyway but you can see a significant difference.




A close-up of them with no makeup at all.




and then with makeup. I know it's quite messy but I was pretty rushed!




Both my eyes with the lenses in. Again, I'm sorry for the messiness of the makeup.

I really loved these lenses. I love the colour and how big they make your eyes. They are quite comfortable but I am used to wearing lenses now. They do make them a little dry but what lenses don't? Get yourself a good bottle of contact lens eyedrops and you'll be fine.
http://www.iwantcute.com had great service and INCREDIBLY fast delivery for any of the Uk gals so get your ass there now and buy, buy, buy.

And now for my hair and outfit for today:




Do you like my afro? This does not do it justice!




Rockin my new MA*RS top and my tralala shorts. Ignore the lack of accessories and bingo-wings, I don't seem to have pictures with/without haha.

Lastly, my dog got a job at my dad's work




Do you like her uniform?

New things, new style.

I'm so sorry for my absence! I'll be around more soon. Not only have I barely found the time to sit down and write anything useful or inspiring, my phone camera is seeming to get worse. I need to buy an actual camera or buy a new lead and charger for my old one. Either way, I have some pics of my recent gets.

I got my favourite MA*RS set through, unfortunately the skirt doesn't fit but the top does! My stupidly badly proportioned body is stupid. Luckily I'm losing weight again now so I'll be able to fit into it as some point in the future haha.




Yummy, yummy D.I.A. top. It's absolutely gorgeous but my boobs seem to be too big (having 32B boobs I never get to say that!) and they look flat at the side but standing face-on I actually have a bit of cleavage! I never have cleavage.



Top-dress which is so cute. I'm really loving floral prints at the moment.



Stompy boots! I think these are gonna go so well with the top-dress above and the leather-look with lace inset leggings I have on the way. Menswear as womens wear/androgyny is really in this season. I also have a cropped tuxedo jacket on the way for the outfit. Can't wait till it arrives!

Now, I had enough with my half-dead hair. The bottom wasn't absorbing any dye and was a completely different colour to the top so I had a moment and cut it to my collarbones.



I actually like it. I'm also trying to change my style a little bit. I want to start looking more my age. I'm almost 22 now and, as much as I love the tsuyome style and such, living in a tiny village in Norfolk, UK (one of the most backwards places in England) it's not so acceptable to walk around in suspenders and such. I love that style but I don't feel comfortable in it anymore. Right now I'm trying to build my self esteem, create a healthy mind and body and eventually get myself back into work and living as normal.
I'm recovering well from my Depression, my anxiety is being controlled by my medication and I'm finally accepting my bulimia is out of control and I'm getting help so wearing clothes that I'm not comfortable in will only exacerbate my conditions. I'm feeling more inspired by Jelly, Blenda, Nuts and high-fashion now. I hope to keep my style Gyaru because it's what I love, what I enjoy, what I'm passionate about, but I want to be more onee-gal and start feeling confident about myself.

Gig in the Park

I've taken a while to post this. I've been feeling a little weary about it as I look totally awful in all the pictures. The humidity was quite disgusting and my hair first went flat and then puffed out so I looked like I'd just rolled out of a hedge, but I like this blog to be a sort of insight into my life and since I had a lot of fun I thought I might as well post it, so please excuse my ridiculous look.

My outfit for the night. Please excuse the flat-hair. I love the action-shot of the hairdressers in the background!

The main stage. We didn't spend much time here but the Swedish girl band that played last were really great.

The dance stage where we obviously spent most of our time. They played some decent electro but some of it was far too cheesy for my liking.

A cute little "gypsy band" stage by the porta-loos (they obviously drew the short straw there). The band was actually really good and the lead singer was HOT if I do say so myself. If I were single...

Me and my boyfriend with our adoring fans! Please ignore the fatty-arm and my ridiculous face!

My boyfriend's friend got obsessed with my coat and spent the rest of the night in it! Strange man. Again, please ignore the red-eye!

That's all I have from Gig that aren't really awfully bad! I do have a couple of pics of my outfit and makeup from yesterday for you to redeem myself.

My outfit. I took it in my new floor-length mirror and it's done some weird warping thing! I actually am dumbfounded about how it's done that.

Hair and makeup. Please ignore the boob-age in the first pic!

I still can't wear my circle-lenses but I'm going to the opticians today to get my eyes checked and sort out whats happened to them. Hopefully it will clear things up and I'll be alright to wear them again in a few weeks.
