Owl City

No, this is not about fireflies or other songs from the musicproject Owl City. This is about jewelry of owls, something I see more often. Two years ago this trend already begun, but now it even expans more!

When I think of the owl as accessoiries, I think of the golden owl that is attached to my grandma's keychain. Two years ago, I started to notice many stores who sell owl-necklaces. Now, owls are not only bangling at a necklace, but they're printed on shirts, their are earrings made with owls, sometimes even a ring. Don't be an owner, be an owler!

Where this trend comes from? I have no idea, to me it's just as mysterious as all the mustache accessoiries I see around. I won't regret buying it! ;)

People who live in our hearts

Have you ever lost someone special? Maybe family, or a great friend. Maybe someone who has moved, to another country or place where you won't get soon. You don't speak them often like you used to do, perhaps only talk on chats. It's hard not to miss them, to stay in contact with them. But most worse is, when that precious person has gone to heaven.

Last week I went with my boyfriend to his dad. His dad who past away two years ago. His dad past away at a young age, because of world-weary. I never got a chance to meet him, because I met my boyfriend just a year ago. He does tells me alot about his dad, what kind of dad he was, what he would do when there was trouble. To me, he sounds like a great man. A man who loved his children. He was strict yet kindly. The stories I've been told make me believe he was a good father and husband.

At the cemetery, I got emotional as well. Even if you don't know the person, you can get the feeling that someone is gone. That special person of my boyfriend has passed away, and I get the same feelings as he does. Do you got that as well?

This topic is not very usefull and doesn't give information or whatsoever, I just wanna share the feelings many people have. The ones that got away, will be forever in our heart.

dr.organic Bioactive Haircare

Hey everyone,

today my first review about dr.organic products. I've heard of the shampoos and conditioners before and had to try it!! What's so special about dr.organic, is that it only contains natural ingredients. Average shampoos contains ingredients that will make your hair look smooth and shiny, because of the SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulphate) and the SLES (Sodium Laureth Sulphate), while it is actually quite bad for the hair and   skin. These do not give your hair a treatment, but you can see it as a    layer over your hair so it looks and feels healthy. Dr.organic has     none of this, it treats your hair fair.

There are different kinds of shampoos and conditioners, like Virgin Olive Oil, Royal Jelly, Lavender, Manuka Honey and Pomegranate. I tried the Pomegranate shampoo and the conditioner. I love to eat pomegranate and was wondering if my hair would love the pomegranate as well.

The bottles say: 'therapeutic bioactive hair therapy, designed to purify, protect and organically condiotion. The results speak for themselves.' It's free from parabens, SLS, artificial colour and harsch )chemicals, fragrances or preservatives). It's high antiocidant levels help the fight against free radicals, it combined with organic Aloe Vera leaves the hair feeling totally regenerated, shining with health and protected against the elements. It says that it's not tested on animals. The shampoo is transparent and the conditioner is white. Both have a delicious smell, but not to heavy.

What I first experienced was how soft my hair felt. It actually felt the same as when I come from the hairdresser. I noticed that the shampoo doesn't foam as much as other shampoos, but still cleans my hair. The conditioner feels the same as others I tried. You don't need more than other Now I'm using these products a few months, but it looks like my hair is accustomed of the product. Still my hair is more healthy than it used to be with other shampoos or conditioners, but it's not like the first few times, sad enough.

I would recommend this product, unless you won't pay €6,50 for each. It makes your hair not only look healthy, but cares for it too. Soon I will try some other products of dr.organic.

Hope you enjoyed!

Doll eyes

Hey everyone,

today I will talk about LANCÔME's HYPNÔSE Doll Eyes. I got it yesterday for my birthday from my lovely aunt. She told me this is the newest mascara in the country I live. I already knew this mascara, but never saw it here. I never used products of LANCÔME as far as I know, so I was pretty excited. First I read some other reviews about this product, and I got a little concerned about it. But, because I'm not really attracted to anything as long as I didn't experienced it, I tried the mascara.

First, I watched the commercial. To be honest, the commercial is NOT what you can expect, but that's my opinion of it ;) .So, this mascara goes with a cute silver, shiny box. What I first noticed, was that the box didn't weight much. The tube itself is black with grey roses on it on both sidses. On one side there's written LANCÔME in white with a little white rose next to it. On the other side there's written HYPNÔSE Doll Eyes, also in white with a little rose. When I opened the tube, I first mentioned the smell was unlike other mascara's. It should smell like roses, but that's not what I smelled. The smell is better than other mascara's, but I do not know what kind of use it has.

The brush of the mascara is also something I've never seen at a mascara. The top is very small and it gets bigger at the end. I think this should help to create a more doll-effect. Something that is a must for a doll are the long, thick lashes at the outer corner of the eyes. Unfortunately, it seems not to help that much. The silver box says that the lashes should gget volumized, extended and get a full lash fringe for a doll lash effect. It thickens lashes without weighing them down. I do not agree with this. When I apply this, my eyelashes are more visible. It gives them more length, but my lashes do not get thicker. I don't believe you get the real doll-effect when you only use this mascara. It doesn't give more volume or a fuller look. Also, it does not curl your lashes. At last, because of the smell they put in, my eyes get a little bit irritated.

This mascara can look good with black eyeliner or pencil. You shouldn't overdo your makeup or else nobody will notice your eyelashes. Also, use an eyelash curler so your lashes will appear more in the face. I found this cute video by Michelle Phan, who was inspired with the mascara. I think this is also an inspiring tutorial for this mascara.
Hope you enjoyed it! For questions, ask them in a comment, and I'll reply them :)

Asian Style

Hey everyone!

Today I will talk about the asian stuff that I have. I will show you the pictures and tell something about it :D

So, what I want to show you first are my shoes!! Okay, these are not really asian. In fact, these are from Jeremy Scott, a fashionable and well-known designer. I saw them once in the Videoclip Go Away - Japanese from 2NE1, and I immediatly fell in love with them. They've been sent from Hong Kong, because I couldn't find a shop or site in Europe who seld them. First I was scared, because some told me the site was swindle, so I was afraid I lost all my money. I mean, they were about 300 euros so that's quite expensive, but it was definitely worth it when I still received them!

The wings really make it look outrageous on top of the rest of the shoes. The leopardprint is made of soft, fabric material while the blue, red, pink and the yellow wings are made of nylon I think. I'm not sure, atleast it's smooth, hard and shiny haha.  What I also like about these shoes is that they are not identical as you can see. I do not walk on them often, because I don't want them to screw up, I'm really careful with them haha.



Okay, next item is my newest jeans. I bought this from ebay, it was really cheap and was delivered in two weeks. Bad thing though, the first one I bought didn't fit. I still have to sell this one haha. I bought a second one, this time a size larger, and it just fits perfectly! It comes from Singapore, and it's pretty weird because the first one came from Hong Kong, while it's the same seller. But I don't care, I'm just happy with my jeans! What I like about it, are the bows. That makes it look really special, I never saw a jeans like this before. I found this one on a dutch clothingsite, but when I wanted to buy it, it was all gone. Lucky me ebay also sell this jeans, even cheaper than the dutch site! It's really comfortable, although it's a no-go when there is a lot of wind coming.


My Kuma hoodie is also one of my favorites. I already showed it once, but didn't really talked about it. This sweater is bought from kpoptown. It was a present from a friend of mine, and I was so happy!!
I like the ears on the hood, they are so cute! What's also handy, is the zipper above KUMA. It's a bag where you can put your phone, wallet or other important stuff in it. When you open the zipper, it says 'happy kuma' . My friend always calls me happy kuma from the day I received this cute present. It's also really comfy and can be weared daily. The first time I wore this people were staring at me like I was crazy, although I don't know why, and I don't mind. It's my style, you can love it or hate it ;)

This little bracelet of rubber I got from that friend as well. He saw it once at a cosplay convention. Apparently they also sell K-pop stuff. It was like one euro or something. The bracelet says 2NE1, and that my favorite k-pop group.

Because this bracelet presents a k-popgroup, I thought it should also be posted here. Just, as a tiny thing hehe.


Wow, this post is getting really long heh? But I'm not done yet, still two to go. Here I got a blazer, also from Hong Kong. I like this blazer because it's casual, yet a bit sturdy. The short sleeves are made of a sort of clothing smesh and it's wrinkled. The front of the blazer is made of cotton, is longer than the back and has two buttons to close it, although I like it open. The back is not closed, but as you can see it has a flower pattern on it. I like this blazer a lot, although I still do not have the right shirt or tanktop to combinate with it. Sorry that the first photo is most worst quality but I didn't had another picture from the blazer of my own. At the second picture you can see the pattern on the back really well, but too bad in this picture the colour is screwed haha.

And last but not least: My pikachu costume! This costume was also a present for my birthday. This was given me first, just as a joke haha. It is actually a pyjama, and to be honest, I slept with it and I quite liked it. Really comfy and really weird haha. The pyjama is made of fleece, a fabric that keeps you really warm. I do look really fat in it, can't imagine that someone would look really slim. At the high of the thighs, it gets really wide, and the tail is hanging on my knees. About the drawing on the backround, that is a drawing of myself I had to make with art on school. Parents liked it so..there it is!

Hope you liked my post this time, eventhough it is quite a lot. I just wanted to show you guys what I like to wear and what my style is. Now you know I like the asian style haha. Maybe because I'm partly asian? Who knows. Anyway, hope you enjoyed, share your style with me if you want, because I like to see people's style =D . I'll see you next time!

Elixer Kultime hairtreatment

Hey everyone!

Today I'll talk about Kérastase, Elixer Kultime. This is a product from L'OREAL Paris, which is used for your hair. First of all I wanna say I really like this product. I almost have it 8 months and I'm still happy with it. This product is a beautifying oil with the Oléo-Complexe. The oil contains camelia, argan, maize and pracaxi oils. This combination cares about your hair.

When I bought this product at the hairdresser, my first opinion was that the product was a bit too expensive for me. I mean, even the box and the bottle are gold!! The price is between thirty and forty euros, for 125 mililiters. When I tried this at first, I noticed you don't need a lot. The back of the box says one or two pumps for your whole hair, and they're right. My hair is pretty long, almost at my waist, and I only need two pumps for the whole lenght. It is also very easy to work it throughout your hair because of the oilextracts. I recommend to use it from the middle of the hair till the roots, and what you have left on your hands work it throughout the top. The roots of your hair need more boost, because they already 'live' two till three years, so they are more damaged by heat, air etc. than the top of your head.

You can work with the oil for several uses. The back of the box says to use it before shampooing or as a leave-in treatment on towel-dry hair. This product helps to get rid of all the 'dirt' in your hair with shampooing. After shampooing it is also a great use to give your hair an extra boost. What the box doesn't say, but what I did find out, was that the oil is also a good use before styling your hair with heat, such as to blow-dry, to curl or to straighten your hair. Your hair doesn't get so much damaged as without. It makes your hair look more healthy, makes it smooth and gives it a beautiful shine.

So now summarized: It is a great product that is easy to use for plenty hairtreatments, is durable and because of that it actually doesn't cost that much. Also, it can be used for all hair types. If I would recommend a good hairproduct, it will me Kérastase Elixe Kultime by L'OREAL Paris. ;)

Li Hao's BACK !!

Hey everyone!!

A promised, I would post a blog today. Finally, my finals are done. Now I can spend my time with the things I like, and not just reading over 200 pages for one test...

There is not much to tell, because I haven't done anything yet so far but studying. From now on I will post at least twice a week, on sunday and probably wednesday. First of all I will finish the dress I want to make for so long. I got an old sewing machine from my mom, so let's get started! I'm really excited for it, can't wait to show you!! If I only had all the right materials... but that's no big deal for Li Hao ;)

Sunday I will start sewing the dress itself, later on I will bring the patches on and the beads laced up. When everything is done, I make a tutorial how I've made it.
Also I have two drawings I began with, but didn't finished. Here you have photo's of it. First on is myself on the wall, pretty big haha. It ever was a profile pic but when I got bored I decided to paint in on my wall (which my parents didn't liked hehe ;) ).


On the right, there is a random painting. I like girls with strength, power, who rule the world. There is also a game, Heavenly Sword for the PS3, which I really like because of the story haha. It's about Nariko, who should take care of the Sword, but no one actually believes in her. With her best friend Kai, they fight for the sword and in the end Nariko dies, with honor. When I actually think about it I have the need to play it!!

Enough about Heavenly Sword and powerful women. In the future I will show a bit more of myself. What I like, some products I use and of course reviews of those.

There are no really big plans, but you just have to see what comes next!!

I hope you'll enjoy my newer posts :D
Bweyo,
