White skin, red lips | Geisha Collection

Hey everyone!

Today I want to talk about collecting things. I mean, almost everyone likes to collect a special type of items right? No, I'm not talking about an obsession or addiction to things, but just collecting. :)

I wanna let you see my collection for so far. I collect geisha's, especially the Kimmidolls. These are cute, little geisha's that express life's true values. There are so many of them and I want them all!!

But first let me tell you how this started. A few years ago, I was searching on the internet for asian-culture and that's where I found geisha's. I was inspired by there clothing, combined with their equal white skin and perfect red lips. Then, about more ore less than a year ago, I saw the movie Memoirs of a Geisha. I really loved that movie, and that was the last push for me to collect geisha's.

Now I have three piggy banks of geisha's, six Kimmidolls and one cute geisha my BBF (Boy Best Friend) bought me from a chinese store.



First the piggy banks. Did I already tell you that my grandma loves to spoil me? Well, she also bought two big piggy banks for me.
There are three of these kind of piggy banks, but unfortunately the store who selled them, don't have them anyomore. But I'm happy with these two. I always call them 'twinpiggy's' haha.



Then we have here the third piggy bank. This one is really small, and here I put in my 5cent-coins. This one was only three euro's! The store selled them in yellow, green and pink. And since pink is my favorite color (like a mainstream girl) it was a must-have for me!





And then this little withe geisha. So this one came out of a chinese store. I think this is so georgeous! The outfit, the hair, and then the eyelashes with the red smile. And the red dot in her hair, just makes the finishing touch to me. I really love it! 


And last but not least: the Kimmidolls. I found them at the same store as when the twinpiggy's came from, and found out that they even have an online store!! Because these geisha's are a little bit more pricy than the others, I promised myself to buy one each month. And now, six months later, I have these. I like it that they are in different sizes. I prefer the middle-size, because the little ones are keychains and the big ones are just huge! In the end I want to give them their own shelf. What do you think about geisha's?


Not to forget, have you already seen my new background? I made it myself, and I really like it! I want to do this every new season (and special events I celebrate). This one represents fall. Here, it's already pretty cold, that's why I drew the mob cap and the scarf. What do you think about it?

And last thing I want to mention: Yesterday I went to MGC Experience, a cosplay event here in the Netherlands. I had so much fun! but because I need to study for next weeks exam week, I don't have much time to make a whole story about it. Thursday I will post something about it with a short movie, so stay tuned!!

This is Halloween @ Walibi

Hey everyone!!

So it's been already two days ago since I went to the Walibi Fright Nights, and I can tell you that is was AWESOME!! We had nice wheather, we had a nice group and I enjoyed everything.

Bad thing is, not only we were thinking about this. It was so busy, really, everywhere! For one rollercoaster you had to wait two hours at least. Okay, maybe not every rollercoaster, but the most exciting ones were. I actually only got in one attraction, which we thought the queue would be short, while it was still 45 minutes waiting to get in there. Uggh, next time I go to the themepark when everybody else is at school, then I can go in every rollercoaster right?

Anyway, so there wasn't much time to go in every rollercoaster, but he did have enough time to look around the park. Of course I filmed some stuff (but my stupid camera's battery got scared of the halloween-freaks and died) and I even made a short youtube video about it. Check it out underneath!

 

 

 

Did you liked the short movie about Walibi? Well, when we had dinner it already started to look a bit more darker and misty, even kinda spooky. There were haunted houses (you needed to pay for that), actors dressed as people from horror movies and some other scary zones. I really enjoyed it, but luckly I didn't faint from all those actors that tried to scare you! There even was one actor with a chainsaw, I really freaked out when it came out of nowhere in my sight. I also went to one of the haunted houses (I really wanted to visit the 'Villa' but there was a queue that just didn't seem to end), that was called Eddie's funhouse of fear. Well, it wasn't that scary and even I could sleep that night, but there were some moments where creepy creatures just scared you with their appearence. And before you could even take a good look at them, they were gone, up to their next victims.

So, to put the whole story in one sentence: I really enjoyed Walibi and the Fright Nights!  Underneath you can see some more pictures, so take a look!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ebay fashion

Hey everyone!

So a few weeks ago I went shopping. By train I went to different towns, but still couldn't find items that I like. And if there was an adorable item, my low-budget-wallet couldn't afford it. But because I really wanted some new comfy, warm but still fashionable clothing, I went to Ebay. I knew that Ebay excisted, but never took a look at it because I didn't need it.

But anyway, I bought 3 clothing items and some studs (I never ever could find studs here). I really like the clothing because there is no such thing as these items that I bought. The trends here are completely different than in Asia! But I wanna be 'anything but ordinary', so take a look at the pictures and tell me what you think ;)

 

So here is the first shirt, which I fell in love at the very first sight. This shirt is so easy but stull has something that grabs your attention. I love the long sleeves and the bigness of it. And the nerdy rabbit is so cute!! I bet you will never find this at the H&M or The Sting or any other local clothing stores in Europe (or even the USA). Now I feel one of a kind, yay :D

 

 



 

This is the second t-shirt I bought. Also long-sleeved, so perfect for fall!! It's getting really cold already, so I must prepare! I like the simple colors. Because it's not only black, it doesn't make me look that gloomy. I think black is a great color to wear in fall and winter, but soft colors like red or blue could spice your outfit up.

 

 

Okay, tights are not typically it for fall, but I was still attached to it anyway. I really like the black bands around my legs, it really brings the legs to life don't you think? These tights are great when you go out, or want to give your outfit that little extra touch. Lucky me that it's still six months before it is spring, so enough time for me to find a perfect outfit with these tights!

And last but not least: the studs. I have nothing much to say about this, but I'll defenitely show you the outfit when I made an outfit with these studs as details. Do you have any suggestions on what clothingitem you'll like to see these studs? I like to hear it in the comment below!

So, this was it for now. Halloween is almost coming, and this weekend I'll go to a themepark with some friends, and they have Halloween fright nights in the evening. I hope I'm allowed to take pictures and post it right here. Stay tuned!!

Typical japanese candy

Hey everyone!

As I told you the post before, I was working on my video about the japanese candy I bought from tofucute.com. And now it's finally done! I'm very excited to show it to you. When I was at the Abunai convention, I saw a talbe which sold all kind of these sweets, and there was also a little card you could take with you, with the site. Everything looked so cute and sweet, that I was curious how it would taste. Because I didn't had enough money to take some at the convention, I had to order it at he Tofucute shop. You really need to check that out!!

Of course I already tasted all of the candy, and it was so delicious!! My number one is the Puccha candy with watermelon taste, I totally love that! It really tastes like sweet watermelon, putted into a little sweet.
I also bought Pocky, Pepero and the Hello Kitty version of Pocky, and that also tastes really nice. I'm always afraid that I can't keep in myself and eat everything, because all of this candy is so addictive to me.I am really addicted to chocolate, and these tastes are so... awesome? Pepero even reminds me of a Magnum Almond haha. I like chocolate more than strawberry, but the Hello Kitty version of Pocky is just amazing, no words for it.
Then I also have the Shigekix, which are really sour, but still sweet! Once you put them into your mouth, it feels like you bite into a lemon, but once the sour is gone, it has a sweet taste, like grapefruit, which I bought. I still don't really know what Magical Fruit Flavor taste like, but is is great!
The Kabaya Shaka Shaka gummy sweets (wow, pretty long name for such a candy) that I bought, taste like some kind of jelly. There is a little pocket in it filled with some kind of sugar, but even without the sugar I really love it!
And lost but not least I also ordered the Saku Saku Panda strawberry biscuits. I wanted to order the chocolate bicuits, but unfortunately they were sold out. Why I took the strawberry biscuits then? Because I love panda's!! Really, I only bought it because there was a panda on it, weird right? Anyway, it tastes good, but it's not my favorite. As I said, I prefer chocolate. Especially on a biscuit.

Here below is the video I made. It is my first one, and kinda crap with the music and so. I wanna thank herd123, for helping me a bit with this video. Without him, there wasn't even a video at all!! I hope to make better video's in the future, but for now: enjoy!!

DIY: give fall a finishing touch with your nails

Hey everyone!

So lately I got two nailpolishes from my grandma, who always spoils me with little things like this. As I looked at the colors, it reminded me of my last post, about autumn. The colors just fit in to me, so I decided to do a really simple picture tutorial for this easypeasy naildesign.






First, start off with a basecoat, as usual. Then, I use the number 620 Captain Sparrow's Boat nailpolish by Catrice and paint your nails with this color. For better result, apply two layers of this color. Let it dry. For me, it took less than two minutes before it's completely dry.






Hope you can see the shiny brown color,
sorry for the bad picture


When the green/grey-ish color has dried, aplly one thin layer of the number 860 Browno Mars also by Catrice ( wow, they are really creative with names don't you think?). Now you have a shiny brown color, but when it has dried, also the green/grey-ish color will appear. This has a very cool effect.







I like this style, but you can vary by switching these colors with eachother or even try with others. These colors and other earthtone colors are very great for Fall. I hope you liked this quick tutorial. I know, it's really easy and may even be boring than when nail-artists make tutorials, but it's fun to do and it looks great! Soon I will post everything about my japanese sweets I bought, I just have to finish my video-editing. So stay tuned!!

Goodday autumn, how are you?

Hey everyone,

say byebye to summer and hello to autumn! Summer is over, and that means: autumnshopping! No more bikini's, shorts or sunglasses now (unless it's everyday a summerday in your country). The next three months we live in a world where leaves are falling down, wonder if you really should go outside with that oversized rainsuit and thinking what kind of clothes look adorable but still keep you warm.

Autumn is a season where everything gets a little darker, so are the clothes in stores. In fact, right now there is a huge dark cloud above my house, which is about to explode with rain. But however, the times to wear a superduperbright pink bikini are over. Now you should think about soft colors, nature colors. Think about champagne, copper, brown, burgundy etcetera.

Now you might think: it's just not my style, I don't like green or other dark colors. Well, too bad for you! No I'm just kidding. There are many ways to express autumn. Fashion week is a really good inspiration source for what you like and just get that extra feeling. Click here for the Fall/Winter fashion week of Milan.
If you like to wear your summerclothing but don't want to caught a cold, scarfs and tabards are the solution! Experimenter, and find your No. 1 look!

Not only clothing, but also your makeup is about to change. Instead of wearing rainbowcolors on your lids, let's try to take it a bit off. Or not, if you wanna take it to the extreme!  Also here you can get inspirations from all the web. There are many tutorials with autumn as base, but natural looks will fit as well.

Perhaps I will do a tutorial about styling when winter begins, but for now I hope you liked it. And remember: just be yourself!

Back to school with cute, simply hairstyles

Hey everyone!

For almost everyone, school has already begun. I remember when I was in high school, I rather stay in bed for five minutes more than get a quick-but-cute hairstyle. This year, I wanna do it differently. I always get lazy and never know what to do with my hair, just brush my hair and think: Whatever, it looks good to me. But now, I'm tired of that attitude. I'm not that lazy, so why should my hair look like it?

I searched for buns to braids and other creative hairstyles. Let me show you my top five hairstyles I'm definitely going to try this year!

Donut Knot   
                                                                                                                     

I guess this is the most PO-PU-LAR knot at the moment. I already bought a donutshaped elastic, or originally calles chignon, and tried of course. This is a simply hairstyle, but it still needs some practice at the beginning. Each time it gets easier to do this bun so don't give up when your hair gets tangled in this elastic for the first time! Most of the time people use one normal elastic, the chignon and some bobbypins to set it.






Korean Bun


This is also a really cute hairstyle that only takes a few minutes to do. For me it's easier than the Donut knot, because I don't need the chignon and it still looks cute. It's very popular in Korea and mostly worn on the top of the head, but feel free to set your bun wherever you like. You only need two elastics, and some bobbypins if you prefer.




Five Strand Braid

When I get tired of the regular braid, I wanna try something else what is not too hard for me. Then, there excist a five-strand braid which is the perfect solution and really easy to do. In stead of three strands you use five. As you can see on the photo is just gives that extra cuteness to the braid.  This hairstyle is mostly worn on the side of your head. This looks cute no matter you have short bangs, long bangs or no bangs. At the beginning you should get used to the five strands in your hand, which could get a little confusing, but you learn it with time!






Side Strand Braid

This is a nice hairstyle, with or without bangs. If you have bangs you could keep them in place, or braid them with the rest of your hair. What I like is that you could do so many with this hairstyle. Once you braided one side, you could braid the rest of your hair, but you could also tie it with an elastic so you have a ponytail! You could also braid the other side of your hair and make a knot. Everything looks really cute! You could just braid regular to the side, but also do a french or dutch braid. As you can see there are so many ways to make this side strand braid as you like!





Romantic Bohemian Hairstyle

And lost but not least: A cute loose hairstyle. Normally I wear my hair loose, with nothing special. But with a braid like this it gives so much cuteness to it. Best thing is, it is simply to do it. The only thing you need are one or two regular braids( as you prefer), and put them to the side. You can keep the rest of your hair straight, but also curl it for that extra romantic look. This is a good everyday-wear hairstyle, but is also nice to wear when you're on a date!




So, this is my top five hairstyles of the moment, and I really need to push myself to do something with my hair. Hair needs care too!! Of course, not only care to look good, but haircare products are really helpfull too! Not only you could wear these hairstyles everyday, it's also perfect if you haven't got your shiny moment by the photographer of school. Now my question to you is: what is your favorite everyday hairstyle this moment? Please share at the comment below. And if you want to try one of these hairstyles, just click on the name for a tutorial ;)

Bweyo!
