++January Haul

Hey everyone,

Man, has it's been a busy  week for me. Thank goodness it's already ending! I finally have time to come back to my lovely blog so I could "rant" about my JANUARY HAUL, which i am super excited to share with everyone.

So, for those of you who knows me very well, I've made a commitment to myself that I would not buy any type of earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and rings until 2012 comes. THEREFORE explains why I've been rather hyped up in purchasing so many earrings and such! HAH~

ANYWAYS ....

I  discovered this petite facebook shop called Aiko's Sweets via my friend- Emily's mind of a sheep blog <3. And honestly when I first went through the stuff she made I believe I experienced what people might call  "love at first sight" (haha) That love has lead me wanting to buy everything =_=||| BUT I managed to stop myself and only buy these items: 


I love how light all these accessories are, as well I love the super cute designs. If there are confusion of why the wing earrings are slightly different, it is actually an earring with an ear cuff. The best part about this buy is the price which was LESS THAN $30CAD!

Along with this craze in buying a gazillion earrings and more, I somehow found time to swing around Forever 21 this month and was able to check out the accessories there. I discovered these new designer collaboration pieces with Alex & Chloe. ::


  
I love the matte finish of these earrings along with the Gothic style they seem to be screaming off of them. As you can see I am already wearing the Crosses. <3  The quality of these earrings are sadly a little to the heavy side, like most Forever 21 earrings. These came up to about a little less than $40 dollars CAD. I do have exact prices, if anyone is interested leave me a message (:

During the beginning of January, I was also able to catch 10 for 10 dollars item sale at Claires with Emily.  We ended up splitting items to buy so all of our items would add up to 10. I was able to snatch up two pairs of Christmas earrings for $2!.. I am so prepare for Christmas next year! (:



I am usually not a fan of two fingered rings, but when I saw this cutie at Suzy Shier, I couldn't resist. It's just so bling! It was around $4 dollars. And for it's price, this ring is fairly sturdy. The two down side of this ring is that it does lose some of it's pigment and IT ONLY COMES IN ONE SIZE. TT^TT ( which is slightly too big for me)


When Angels are on your bare skin, it means it's really soft. I love my skin after using this. I bought 88 grams of this just a week ago, and I've been using it everyday because of the great effect it has. It's a little on the pricey side, but I believe it is worth it! All the ingredients used in this is super natural, so it could even clean sensitive skin.  As well it doesn't not have any trace of soap. It is actually clay which minimizes pores along with almond whites which basically serves as a very soft and gentle exfoliator.

 A definite positive aspect of this product is that it is from Lush, so if this product doesn't work, Lush promises a full refund. Also a tip, for those who is planning to go shopping at Lush anytime soon, I recommend to ask the ladies there for a sample of the product you are interested in rather than buying it because you can try it out which helps you figure out if the product is fit for you.

 A negative aspect would be the herbal smell, despite there is a hint of lavender in it, the cleanser doesn't smell amazing. Also because this product is made with natural products, it becomes overdue quickly ( which is the reason why i never buy Lush products in big chunks) It is better to buy a little at a time so the product is fresher.



And finally I bought this Shiseido Make Up Cleansing Gel from Alana's Cosmetics at Crystal mall. I have yet to try how well it will work on my skin since I just bought it today. An already up for this product would be it's scent. ( LYCHEE) It's so delicious. I was able to get this on sale at $13.50CAD for this 160mL tube.

LOST AND FOUND!....

Along with my haul, I did some cleaning up at my house and I found these shoes that I haven't even worn once. I think it was a gift from my mother, and I completely forgot about them. I can't believe I did though. They are so cute! <3 I can't wait till the snow outside melts a little more so I can wear these.

Until next time,

Josie

Hah, for those of you who are wondering whats up with this photo here. It's actually my dad proudly wearing his beautiful boxers that I happened to buy him for Christmas as a joke. xD I just thought I should share with everyone as well as thank my dad for giving me a moment to laugh about for a long time, during this Christmas ~ 

Anyways, as I said in my earlier blog I AM BACK here to say my thank yous and gratitude for all the wonderful Christmas gifts this year.


Okay so this Christmas I got two lovely Hello Kitty Build a Bears!! Which if I have not mentioned in earlier posts I am utterly obsessed with Hello Kitty <3 so I love my hello kitties!!

So, to not forget anyone I am going to list who got me what and show my gratitude:

  • Mr Hello Kitty- Emily Y. :Thank you for the Christmas gift. I love him...but I love you more! <3
  • Ms. Hello Kitty- Dave D.: Thanks to you now, Mr Kitty has a Ms for him ;D
  • Estee Lauder Idealist- Jenn H: I am touched that you remembered that I once said I love this product. You are awesome!

  • DKNY perfume: Minerva D: THIS SMELLS SO NICE!  and the bottle is so cute.. it's my favorite perfume at the moment <3 Thank you
And to end this blog post I wanted to share a few quotes from books I've recently been reading by Betty White.

All creatures must learn to coexist. That’s why the brown bear and the field mouse can share their lives in harmony. Or course, they can’t mate or the mice would explode.”

“Keep the other person's well being in mind when you feel an attack of soul-purging truth coming on”

And my absolute favorite one would be: 

“Why do people say "grow some balls"? Balls are weak and sensitive. If you wanna be tough, grow a vagina. Those things can take a pounding” 


Okay, I gotta run~ Until next time! 


BYE~

Happy New Year guys!

Hey everyone,

Happy New Year everyone! 2011 was a long and interesting year, and I wish 2012 would be even more fantastic for all of you.


Though the stressful school days and the eventful dramas in life, 2011 is finally over. To start the new year I want to state my new years resolution ( not that I ever follow them HAH!)

  1. To wash my makeup brushes (like deep clean) them once a week
  2. Find a way to procrastinate less
  3. Study early for my Psych exam in April 
  4. and last but not least, to find more time to hang out with my beautiful ladies (:

Anyways, I will be going back to school soon. Ack time flies.... which means I better get my ass on my homework now! >< I'll also hurry up in uploading my thank you post for my Christmas present this year too. Ahh, I've been so lazy this holiday.
