<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; text-align: start;">Hello Everyone and Happy New Year!</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; text-align: start;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; text-align: start;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; text-align: start;">It might seem awhile ago now we are in the second week of January but I do hope you all had a lovely winter break. I spent mine with my lovely family and generally taking a break from everything!</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; text-align: start;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; text-align: start;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; text-align: start;">If you read my Facebook page then you'll know that the beautiful new logo by Chiichanny is up but the new site layout isn't - in fact is went so horribly wrong that the old layout is gone as well and page is now being displayed in a rather boring, plain, default white blogger theme! Several things went wrong - the layout I had chosen and spent quite a while working on wouldn't allow me to use the logo or add a banner of any sort, and instead wanted to use a rather ugly text description. Those of you that use blogger know that the template layout allows you to add in boxes for widgets/headers/content etc, for what ever reason, that I still can't work out, it just wouldn't work. After realising and spending quite a few hours trying to make it work, that it just wasn't going to happen I did try and revert to the old template, and this is where the fun began - the back up I made before fiddling with anything doesn't work. There's absolutely no reason for it not too as it will open fine, it just won't upload. If you can imagine me, sat in front of my laptop, with an error message, a site that looks like utter crap with various multiple colours everywhere and a broken template, you can probably imagine my face, in fact, here's a pretty accurate representation:</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; text-align: start;" /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwo2Fx-5WqEJnfxqcqB2cV00p0klfvfwkHJGyPo7FoRkM0x1JyNfS3DoXQmd7n1rOiWDPowX6nE77Y9Qn8MquPf0Deo4pSP0sCdgDYRHK_Cz2U5_tF7f0-PGkutwqE_iG1rr-H3kZgTYg/s1600/Disasters.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwo2Fx-5WqEJnfxqcqB2cV00p0klfvfwkHJGyPo7FoRkM0x1JyNfS3DoXQmd7n1rOiWDPowX6nE77Y9Qn8MquPf0Deo4pSP0sCdgDYRHK_Cz2U5_tF7f0-PGkutwqE_iG1rr-H3kZgTYg/s320/Disasters.jpg" width="240" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFVAkFM8_U7kDi8-G_3hHpcLzcBcCtVVJCiTsqF46ShoFnvhW-3v7_GoSLsDCXzQlP8U0IT1y7A2lb5NWM8Py35Rc7pCD-GhoKr-QdG6qv5nA6VEYTYKOg0Ru4UyMaYWwrRL_dJKTZ1Fc/s1600/angers.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFVAkFM8_U7kDi8-G_3hHpcLzcBcCtVVJCiTsqF46ShoFnvhW-3v7_GoSLsDCXzQlP8U0IT1y7A2lb5NWM8Py35Rc7pCD-GhoKr-QdG6qv5nA6VEYTYKOg0Ru4UyMaYWwrRL_dJKTZ1Fc/s320/angers.jpg" width="240" /></a> </div>

<br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; text-align: start;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; text-align: start;">So, with the above in mind, the only thing I could do was switch it back to a default template, which is what I did. I still don't know why it didn't work or why the back up is corrupt and why blogger is so dang restrictive! I've come to the conclusion now that it may be time to switch to self hosted and move away from blogger entirely. This is looking like it will be going a head in the. Next few weeks - it'll take me a little while to sort as I need to figure out how to use something like Wordpress to build the site and sort the hosting.</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; text-align: start;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; text-align: start;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; text-align: start;">So in the meantime I'll keep the site the way it is and work to something better! I'll still hopefully be updating regularly and I have some great plans for tutorials and posts this year that I'll hope you'll enjoy!</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; text-align: start;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; text-align: start;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; text-align: start;">Ta-ta for now</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; text-align: start;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; text-align: start;">X</span></div>

Hello Lovelies!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's that time of the year again, the days are shorter, the wind is up and the temperature has dropped in gloomy England! Winter has definitely arrived, and with all the super fun weather the skin on my hands has started to dry out and become quite sore and painful. Unfortunately for me this is a regular occurrence for me ever winter season. On the upside though it does mean I get to try and bunch of different hand creams as I get through them so often to try and avoid my skin splitting! (Yes this does happen if it gets to dry *sob*).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So one of the creams I decided to get this year is Tony Moly's anti-ageing peach hand cream - The picture of this online showed a cute little peach shaped pot and promised to leave my hand softer and younger looking - sounds good right? I bought the cream for somewhere around £4-5 online.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXWaPL5S48t7fgKxpHgSAaD8MB0nkZWxN7zwai7YBnYAjMhvlZDSBrwvidKntWwaf69IrtLFcVCfBae8csGtyJF7bmBqok6h2OVVrvK_v9EOlo0Skix9ZrTDTJ5TZRp-ikH7bYjS8FyDg/s1600/tony+moly+peach+hand+cream+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="217" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXWaPL5S48t7fgKxpHgSAaD8MB0nkZWxN7zwai7YBnYAjMhvlZDSBrwvidKntWwaf69IrtLFcVCfBae8csGtyJF7bmBqok6h2OVVrvK_v9EOlo0Skix9ZrTDTJ5TZRp-ikH7bYjS8FyDg/s320/tony+moly+peach+hand+cream+1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's what arrived! How adorable is this? I wasn't really sure how much the pot would look like the picture but it definitely looks like a peach - my second surprise was how big this tub was - it's slightly smaller than a tennis ball! I'll admit I partially bought this on how it looked and thought it would look pretty on my dressing table.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRZhnz0_0u_-CmZAVXKVESmxvscpqwmfEkKGCiEogEWCGTf3DjwftCR509p7eothtisbAIBIkuzX3VfCmu0p6o_lA_4dOEMl7ZL5jaDIdynPwg8apCqNm0aS5D3qTzTuxLD5i1pvYc3iA/s1600/tony+moly+peach+hand+cream+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRZhnz0_0u_-CmZAVXKVESmxvscpqwmfEkKGCiEogEWCGTf3DjwftCR509p7eothtisbAIBIkuzX3VfCmu0p6o_lA_4dOEMl7ZL5jaDIdynPwg8apCqNm0aS5D3qTzTuxLD5i1pvYc3iA/s320/tony+moly+peach+hand+cream+2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When you split the peach in half you find a half is filled with cream - there's quite a lot in here and it smells just like peaches, it's a really lovely scent. The tub did have a little seal to stop it leaking in transit but I forgot to take a photo of this. (It was identical to the blueberry lip balm in one of my previous posts, if you are curious).</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The cream itself is a pale peachy/pink colour, quite thick, but spreads very easily. I found my skin absorbed it very quickly - I was pleasantly surprised by this as some heavier creams take quite a while to soak in. My hands were left smelling of peaches too - the scent didn't really fade until I washed my hands - even then it still lingered, just not quite as strongly.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All absorbed! My skin was left feeling very soft, hydrated and supple. I was very impressed with this and will be buying a second pot to keep on my desk at the office as it works so well. I really like the scent of this too, its rather different to most of the floral scents usually associated with most hand creams.</div>

Hello Lovelies!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been super busy recently creating some lovely presents for Christmas! I recently taught myself to crochet using a magazine! This is a big thing for me as I've tried soooo many times to crochet and failed miserably (not quite as bad as my attempts at knitting though which always end up triangular!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCOvEPd4dErbIwx6LrtaFjlC7EG5RR2zRoSeCPeHVskSB6FSMap4Hae3KoYMMEFTvepNgJ2osTpvH0qDGiYErSLwCw8_ieVCERhJ6EwVdOK_JuCnnBWjCSnCZTCcxosKp-59CCBVE7UeQ/s1600/crochet.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCOvEPd4dErbIwx6LrtaFjlC7EG5RR2zRoSeCPeHVskSB6FSMap4Hae3KoYMMEFTvepNgJ2osTpvH0qDGiYErSLwCw8_ieVCERhJ6EwVdOK_JuCnnBWjCSnCZTCcxosKp-59CCBVE7UeQ/s320/crochet.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The great thing about crochet is once you get the hang of it you can make things pretty quickly - it took me a little while to get used to the double crochet stitch - I still haven't quite got the idea of reading a pattern or other stitches yet but I'm really happy I can do this now!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I started off making a few very boring, single colour scarves to practice the stitch. I then tried making a single colour snood and following the success of that I tried out a purple snood for my beautiful friend in America to go in her present box.</div>

Then I tried making a Sailor Moon inspired snood for myself. My youngest sister like it so much that she asked me to make her a Chibi Moon scarf! By this point I'd more or less got the idea of what I was doing and felt more comfortable winging it!</div>

Hello Lovelies!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh my gosh! Where has the time gone?! It's been a two weeks since I've had the time to sit and write a post for you all!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought I'd give you a little update about the last few weeks and the up coming weeks. So lets start at the beginning - I've been plagued by migraines for the last month or so which have lasted for weeks at a time, this is one of the main reasons posting dropped down to just one a week. I didn't want to take a break as I've worked really hard over the last year at posting regularly so I've tried to keep it going - until last week where I had to take a little break (Hopefully the last one of the year!). I've been umming and ahhing over whether to give the site and logo a make over, I feel the current layout isn't working so well and I'm just not as fond of it as I was.</div>

I've also sold my motorbike! This is something I never, ever thought I'd do as I loved my bike very much, but as this year has gone on it's become more and more uncomfortable for me to ride. The riding position is lent quite far forward and I've had surgery on my wrist twice so it can be quite painful. This means I'm not looking for another one - I'm quite picky so I get the feeling it might take awhile to find what I want which is a shame as the Reading Toy Run is coming up soon!<br />

So, upcoming in the next few weeks is Hyper Japan's Christmas Market! I cannot wait for this! I had a really good time at the last Hyper event (despite the crazy amount of scalping) and I'll be attending on the Friday on behalf of Cyten but also with my youngest sister again! But, But but! There's more! I'll finally be cosplaying!<br />

This is something I've been working really hard towards this year, after seeing photos of myself from the last Christmas market, I've lost over 50lbs! (Hopefully more by the time Hyper hits) - I'm by no means done with this but I'm very proud of myself for my efforts and will carry this on into next year - but weight loss means that I feel more comfortable with cosplaying now, I've nearly finished my costume!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So there you go, in a nut shell real life has been keeping me super busy!<br />
Do look out for me if you are going to Hyper Japan - I'd love to meet some of my readers!</div>

Hello Everyone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Those of you that know me well know I try rather hard to look after my skin - it's quite rebellious and often has its own ideas about what it's going to do! I have combination/oily skin which can lead to blocked pores and a just a general icky feeling after a long day - even more so if I've been wearing a lot of make-up. I recently came across the company Skin Watchers on a Korean Beauty group on Facebook and took a look at their website - everything looked so good and professional! I was given the opportunity to try out some of the products from the range and I'm so, SO glad I did as I've found a new favourite brand!</div>

Here are all the products I tried - Skin Watchers is based in South Korea so the packaging is in both Korean and English which I find brilliant! I can't read Korean (yet, it's on my list!) so this is very helpful! Check out the beautiful logo and very stylish packaging for the products. I'm still keeping everything in the boxes as I like them so much - they look great on a shelf together!</div>

This is an Aloe Vera soothing gel - this is one of my favourites! Look at the pretty green packaging, it's a very big tube that's easy to dispense the product from, the instructions for use are also on the back of the tube which is handy. You can also put the tube in the fridge for a cooling effect too! I think this would be fantastic on a hot day in the summer.</div>

The gel itself is clear (Fantastic! No added colourings!) It smells very fresh and of aloe. As a gel it's quite thick but its absorbed very easily and a little goes a very long way - I can use a small pea sized amount for both my face and neck! I felt this gel left my skin feeling very soft, supple and soothed after removing make up after application.</div>

All you need is a little amount of the powder, add a little bit of water and it foams up to make this very luxurious wash - I was really, really impressed with this as it left my skin still feeling soft but squeaky clean as well. I found it very easy to use and even if you pour out to much powder you can put it back into the bottle which you can't with a normal liquid. I would definitely purchase this again.</div>

The scent of this was lovely- it's not over powering and is somewhere between being a clean scent and a light floral. This was quite thick, but again like the other Skin Watchers products was absorbed very quickly. It left my skin feeling super soft and light.</div>

This was the third in the Green Snail Intensive set - a Toner. This was another of my favourites and I will most likely replace it when it runs out. Again this utilises a useful pump bottle - its really sturdy and feels very expensive! Like the rest of the range this had a very pleasant scent which wasn't over powering at all.</div>

This is a very runny oil - it smells very fruity and cleans excellently - I didn't find I needed and extra cleanser afterwards as it didn't make my skin feel any oiler than normal. I really rather like this one too and will likely buy another.</div>

Skin Watchers Original Facial Oil - this was another that didn't have english instructions, but I tried it out in the same way I did with the Galactomyces Essence. This bottle too has the helpful little dropper.</div>

UV Success Sun Block - SPF50+/PA+++ - I adore this! I've been trying to find a suncream to wear under my makeup for a very long time - everything I've tried has felt heavy and greasy - I also burn very easily so it was something I really needed! This comes in a handy bag sized tube and recommends using after cleansing before applying makeup. </div>

This is a very thick cream which had me a little worried incase it was going to be like the others I had tried - I was pleasantly surprised to find it was very easily absorbed, didn't feel sticky/greasy or heavy and actually made my foundation easier to apply! It had a very nice light scent as well!</div>

Oh my gosh, this whitening water drop is so much fun to use! I've never tried anything quite like this before - essentially this cream is for brightening and hydrating your skin by forming water drops to lock in moisture!</div>

Like the rest of the Skin Watchers products this was absorbed very quickly and you can see in the picture my skin looks brighter, so soft and moisturised! I'm very impressed with this too!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I really, REALLY love this range and I'll definitely be re-purchasing some of the above. My favourites have to be the Green Snail Intensive, the Enzyme Powder Wash and the Soothing Aloe Gel. Skin Watchers thrive on knowing that their products are loved and I can see why people love them!</div>

Hello Everyone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today I've a quick post on a Heroine make-up compact all the way from Japan - I'm very lucky that one of my good friends bought this back for me on a recent trip there a few months ago! (Sadly the Kit-Kats she also bought back for me didn't quite make it to the photos!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The powder compact comes packaged on the cute little card - inside has the powder, a mirror and a little puff for applying it with. I really like the illustration on the packaging, I think it'd draw my eye to it in a store.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The powder itself is the lightest that they do - it's quite pigmented but not heavy. It applies very smoothly. It doesn't have much of a scent either which is good for those that don't like perfumed products</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The coverage is very good too - I've not blended the edge in so you can see where the powder is - it's a pretty good match for my skin tone. My skin felt very soft and smooth after applying this - the only thing I did find was that it didn't last terribly long and needed touching up around lunch time and again later on in the day, but that could just be skin type, I imagine for someone with normal to dry skin this powder would be ideal.</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Bonus photo! This was my make up with the Heroine Make Powder! As an over all powder for fixing foundation I found I had a few problems. It seemed to react differently with different foundations - for some reason when used with the Benefit Flawless foundation, it went super orange! I also found that it didn't react well to one of Miss Sporty's BB cream as it went a different shade of orange! However used on it's own its fine, it doesn't react and is great for days when you only want a little bit of coverage.</div>

It's time for another Let's Cook! Today I'll be showing you Old El Paso's Stand 'N' Stuff soft Taco kit - this is the smoky BBQ one. Old El Paso very kindly send me some of their new range to try out, as I've already tried out the fajitas before (The BBQ one is one of my favourites!) I decided to try out the taco kit first as I've seen these advertised on TV recently and as I like Mexican food was curious about them.</div>

The kit comes in a brightly coloured box - you'd definitely notice this in a super market! I love the fact Old El Paso's branding uses a red tile roof, it makes you think of somewhere warm and sunny. So the kit is very easy to use - you only need to add 500g of minced beef, two tomatoes, lettuce and 125g of grated cheese. The back has very simple and straight forward instructions on how to prepare the tacos - I think this is ideal for a week night dinner as it's ready in 20 minutes with very little fuss or mess.</div>

I'll be honest I found it quite hard to get the seasoning to mix through as there didn't seem to be enough of it or water. The box says to let it simmer and once its boiling to let it boil for 10 minutes stirring occasionally. Mine never came to a boil as it just didn't have enough liquid in it despite following the instructions. I'm wondering whether I should have cooked this in a sauce pan rather than a frying pan, the box didn't specify either way and I use this pan for fajitas.</div>

Whilst the mince is cooking you need to warm up the taco shells - again this is really straight forward, you simply take them out of the packet, carefully separate them and pop them on a microwaveable safe plate and into the microwave for 30 seconds on high power.</div>

Assembling the tacos is simple, you take an empty shell, add some mince, some tomato, lettuce, salsa and finally cheese! How easy is that? Dinner in 20 minutes with very little mess to clear up after which is always an added bonus. These did taste pretty good, although I thought a little dry and the flavour wasn't super strong - it's very similar to the BBQ fajitas which is great in my opinion. If I bought these again (and I may well do) I'd be tempted to add either more water or try a different pan to see if that made a difference to the dryness. As tasty as these were and fun to make I still think Old El Paso's fajitas will remain my favourite for the time being, but I'd definitely recommend giving this a try for a straight forward and easy dinner!</div>

Hello Everyone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today I've a very exciting review for you! If you read my site regularly you may remember that I recently posted a segment on <a href="http://www.beckylock.co.uk/2015/09/kawaii-cute-on-budget-stationary.html" target="_blank">Kawaii stationary</a> and one of the featured stationary sites was MIMO Pencil Case Shop, in case you didn't, MIMO is a on-line shop that focuses on affordable cute and kawaii stationary. Based in the USA MIMO is run by the lovely Jeanette.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
MIMO sent me a huge box, containing a planner set to review! Funnily enough this arrived on my birthday yesterday! The box contained everything you would need to start using a planner and some! I'd originally planned for this to be an un-boxing video - everything was so beautifully wrapped, but Harry had other ideas - he got very confused by me talking to the camera and thought I was asking him to come and play and the video very quickly became a write off! (I will try and re-film this in the next week as I really do think it'd be great to show you the products, especially the planner, up-close.)</div>

One of the first things I found in the box was this adorable little note - I love little touches like this as it makes things seem more personal. I really like the design on this little note-let and have a plan for it already!</div>

The first little package I opened contained these mini highlighters, a role of deco tape and a role of eraser tape! These will be so useful for me! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I use highlighters a lot when I'm researching for articles and having lots of colours is really handy as it means I can colour code my research. I'll also be using these a lot to highlight important dates in my planner! Each highlighter has a cute character on and I really like the stripy design as it makes them bright and colourful. The little packet is mega useful as well as it means I can keep them all together and put them in my bag to take out and about. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Deco tape is something that has always interested me - it's exactly what it sounds like, it's a tape you can apply to paper that has little decorations on, this one has bunting and butterflies - how cute is that? I'm definitely going to use this a lot as I think it'll be fun to use to mark important days. </div>

Corrector tape is always, always useful for me! I'm rather prone to making mistakes on paper, and I do tend to draft out things on paper first so this is super useful as well. It'll also come in handy if I put a date in my diary (I nearly always use pen) and I need to move it, rather than leaving a huge ugly scribble I can just use this to cover it! I love the design of this to, I find it funny that it looks like a milk shake bottle, it almost looks like milk is pouring out when you use the tape!</div>

Next was a box containing two decorative tapes! I like that the front of the box shows the pattern of the two tapes in detail - this pack contains two kinds of lace style tape.</div>

Look how pretty these are - I think they'd be fab for edging important pages or even for sticking in photos! The colours used are very vibrant which means they'll show up well on paper.</div>

Here's where I got to before the video ended - so I was able to get some photos of the lovely wrapping Jeanette does! I mean look how perfect that is! I am horribly useless when it comes to wrapping, and there's usually tape everywhere if I've had some kind of involvement, but this is sealed with a single cute sticker! I am in awe of her wrapping skills!</div>

If you know me, you know that I love stickers! These are adorable, puffy little animals with funny faces! No doubt I will use these everywhere possible! Page markers are always useful, I also use them to make little notes when I need to remember something important or when I need to reference something. These ones have such a cute bear and friends design, they remind me a little bit of Pinny-Mu.</div>

My favourite Rilakkuma!¬ I have no doubt I will use these absolutely everywhere! This is one of my favourite designs too! The daily schedule will be very useful for me as I often have a few things I need to remember to do on a day to day basis. I love the giraffes face peeping in from the side of the page.</div>

How cute are these little faces? The kitty pen is a black gel pen which is very smooth to write with. The bunny ruler has to be one of my most favourite things in the package, it's a great size and I love his expression! The strawberry milk pen matches the correction tape. This is actually an erasable pen which means it'd be good for draft writing or even outlining drawings!</div>

Inside the pencil case were some colour gel pens! There is a whole set here and probably every colour imaginable - they are very fine tipped so perfect for writing in small spaces or even sketching with. I know I will use these a lot. Bonus: You can see that the pencil case has Rilakkuma's name embroidered on which is a really lovely touch.</div>

Look how beautiful this planner is! I've always, always wanted a pretty coloured planner, so much so that I have in fact ruined my boring black filofaax with spray paint in effort to kawaii-afy it! I adore this colour, it's just pefect. The material used is a high quality textured PU leather. It has a hand button snap at the front to keep it closed.</div>

The diary insiders are a perfect size for writing in. I've also found the filiofax ones way to squished in to get all the information I need in. I also like that these don't have printed dates - that way you can put your own in any format you like, and also if you bought this part way through the year you wouldn't loose out on use if the previous months were no good.</div>

So here was the first lot I ordered - this is Tony Moly's Luminous Goddess Aura Perfume Make-up Mist and Saemmul's Pure CC cream. The package arrived very quickly and was accompanied by these cute little samples! I've been wanting to try out the Panda's dream range for awhile so this is a great bonus! (The Panda's dream range comes in these adorable little containers which might be influencing me in my want to purchase them!)</div>

<br />
So here are the two items I ordered on their own - I've ordered the Goddess Aura before - probably over a year ago and as mine had run out I decided to order another - I was a little apprehensive about re-ordering this as they seem to have changed the packaging since the last time I ordered and I was worried it wouldn't have the same scent as it has before. I really loved the perfume used for my original bottle, its very fresh and floral. I've not used anything by Saemmul before but desperately needed some sort of CC or BB - I just can't find anything light enough to match my skin tone here (Seriously, Rimmel's Light BB is so, so orange!!) This CC has microbeads which burst and change colour to blend into your skin tone.<br />

The back of the CC cream - for some odd reason I don't seem to have the front! Handily the back of the tube has Korean and English writing with ingredients and usage directions.</div>

There isn't much of a scent to this which is great, as you can see in the picture on the left, the product goes on white. It's very silky and smooth and blends in very easily as shown on the picture on the right. I found that it did even out my skin tone rather well but didn't feel heavy on the skin. I've also tried mixing it with an orangey foundation for extra coverage which worked quite well too and lightened the foundation.</div>

Here is the Goddess Aura - again the back of the packet has Korean and English - this mist can be used to set make-up or just as a refreshing mist. I tend to use it as both and as a perfume too - the scent is VERY similar to the original one I had, and might actually be better, it's very light and refreshing.</div>

The lip balm/gloss - it's a lovely subtle colour. It's very easy to apply and glides on smoothly - I've been using a lip brush for it as I hate getting gloss/balm all over my fingers, and I can be more accurate with where I am applying it with a brush.</div>

It's quite hard to photograph the swatch for this as it is a very sheer colour - but it moisturises well and isn't too sticky - it adds a very lovely coloured sheen to lips.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm really pleased with my latest purchases and can't wait to try out the samples soon - maybe I'll have an at home spa day! Have you tried out any of the above cosmetics? Have any spa day tips? Let me know in the comments below!</div>

Hello Everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's time for another Kawaii & Cute on a budget! Today I'll be showing you where you can find cute lunch time apparel - It thought this would be a great idea as this is something everyone can do whether you work in an office like me, are still at school or spend your days at home, everyone can have a cute lunchtime! My favourite places to buy this kind of thing online is eBay, Aliexpress and Taobao. I'll be concentrating mostly on eBay for this post as this is probably the place where most people have access too. It's probably work noting that you can also find Kawaii & Cute lunchtime bits offline in quite a few £stores, Paperchase & Paperchase (Likely to be expensive unless in a sale), and, oddly Primark.</div>

So let's start with lunch boxes! These are a pretty good staple for any lunch time - you can transport your food about without worrying about it getting squashed and ruined. The other great thing about using a box is that unless its a big single space type, you don't need to use individual sandwich bags which a) saves your money and b) saves the planet as there is less waste! I have quite a few lunch boxes now - different types for different foods. I have a couple that are air tight, a few stackable and one thermos one (I won't be sharing this one as it's boring and really doesn't keep the food that warm! I'm looking for a new one).</div>

I found quite a few cute lunch boxes on eBay very easily (you'll get a better selection if you set the search to world wide and don't mind waiting around 2 weeks for it to be delivered. Most range from £2+ but if you watch a few of the auctions many start at £0.01! You can quiet easily get a bargain - its worth looking at the store as well as you may be able to find the item with a relatively low buy it now price if the auction goes above your budget.</div>

Just an example of what you can get if you look world wide - I bought this kawaii hamburger lunch box for a whole £1.42!! That included shipping as well. It has 3 sections plus a little fork and spoon included. I'd really recommend the store <b><a href="http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/uarenice/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=" target="_blank">uarenice</a> - </b>They have a ton of cheap cute items and the people running it are very lovely - there was a problem with the delivery of my lunch box, the shipping label was damaged by the rain and returned to the store. They contacted me to let me know and to ask if I still wanted the lunch box or whether they should refund me. Since I was in no rush I opted to have it resent so they re-packaged and resent it out and it arrived around two weeks later. wrapped up securely in bubble wrap and cellophane. It's exactly as it looks in the picture, and is made out of a very durable plastic, so for the money it's an excellent buy as I think it will last a very long time.</div>

Something else I've seen pop up a lot recently is insulated bags - these are a cheap and fantastic option for keeping your food cool with an ice pack in the summer months or for keeping thermos pots warm that little bit longer. I bought the bag on the left in pink from <b><a href="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251936374555?euid=c5613bb09f1446daaa80373277fb985c&cp=1" target="_blank">Glasscitypool</a> - </b>this arrived mega quickly considering it came all the way from Hong Kong! This fits my round pots and keeps soup or porridge warm for a couple of hours at a time. If I use it with my thermos pot it does keep soup just warm enough till lunch time if I heat it up at 7:30am. There are quite a few different bags like this on eBay at the moment and most are £2+ - if you buy one make sure you buy one with a foil lining to keep it insulated! The one on the right is really cute and I may well buy this one for keep sandwiches and drinks cold in the summer months as it looks like it might be a little bigger than the one on the left.</div>

On the subject of drinks how about one of these cute bottles or mugs? I will point out though, that there is no point in buying a cheap bottle or flask - it'll just leak ever where and soak everything (Been there, done that!) You'll probably want to spend around £5+ for a decent bottle - preferably one that is leak proof or at least has a rubber seal around the top. For mugs and glasses though, go nuts! You can find super cute ones starting from as little as £0.01 and a lot will offer free postage, so you can really spend as much or as little as you want. Again changing the search parameters to world wide means you will get a better selection in your search results - there are some absolutely adorable cups from Japan available for world wide shipping.</div>

For those of you that just want a quick sandwich and don't need a whole lunch box, try looking for cute cellophane bags - there's a whole load of different baggies available to keep your food fresh in! These are usually very cheap too and can bought be bought in multiples of 10-100. You could also use these for giving cookies or treats to friends in.</div>

Apple iPhone 6s - Rose Gold<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hello Everyone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How lucky am I?! My lovely Husband bought me an early birthday present of the very new rose gold iPhone 6s and a case too! I have never had a new phone so close to launch before, and this one is so pretty I had to share! Mr Lock was up at the crack of dawn on Saturday to reserve one for me (The rose gold is pretty much sold out everywhere, and I was saving to buy one around Christmas so hadn't pre-ordered it yet).</div>

This is the phone and case! The case is the pink silicone one an the iphone is the 64gig. I've always loved Apples packaging, it's very neat and stylish. There's also not a lot of wasted space which is great too as it requires less materials to make.</div>

Upon opening the box the phone is sat right at the top! It's covered in that special plastics that stops the phone and it's screen getting marked in transit. They are packaged very well so there's not room for the phone to slide about in the box. The front of the phone is white with a rose gold band around the home button.</div>

Here's the back of the phone (still in the plastic as I was worried about putting it face down). It's definately pink! Though under some lights its more gold when you take a photo of it. I quite like the white lines that break up the colour.</div>

Fitting the case is really simple - it's quite a tight fit which is good as it means it won't come off if dropped or in a bag. The screen is nice and bright and it's so much fun to use!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm really loving this phone - I've really missed using Apples OS on a phone, it's so straight forward and really simple to use. The camera is fantastic which is great as I can use it for photos but also to start making videos for you! (I have a few planned out, and hopefully they'll be come a reality soon!) The system is really fast, I've not noticed a lag when switching between apps, the finger print scanner works perfectly - Apple pay is really handy too. I really like the force touch feature with photos - it takes around 3-4 seconds of video when you take a photo so that when you use force touch with it it plays a little clip, which is perfect for trying to take a decent photo of Harry. The fact its an awesome kawaii pink colour just makes it perfect too!</div>

Hello Everyone!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I recently purchased a small haul of make up! After posting a photo to the sites Facebook page quite a few people asked me to review my purchases when they arrived, so as promised, here's a review for the first that arrived, Etude House's Dear Girls Oil pact.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, my reason for purchasing this is quite simple, I suffer from combination skin and usually use a UK purchased coloured powder compact to combat this, which was all fine and dandy until I realised that despite trying several different brands, both high and low brand, NONE of them match my skin tone. Not even close. (Don't get me started on foundation, that's a story for another day!) The closet match I could find was oddly Poundlands own brand, but it seems like this is never in stock in the right shade.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPh6K05pZB1CLgdIahblehZISakeuSTZvtXwg4hbjwKSNQsP4rGmHNLHK6SWSmJSKOxfKhGu8hPS8oMdTVM9x6qcdpOfrYrnPsBoL9OGX78lQ1wDiWC5k6V1kIxOgmFm1Xtf1qY-nbZuQ/s1600/Roseroseau.tiff" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="85" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPh6K05pZB1CLgdIahblehZISakeuSTZvtXwg4hbjwKSNQsP4rGmHNLHK6SWSmJSKOxfKhGu8hPS8oMdTVM9x6qcdpOfrYrnPsBoL9OGX78lQ1wDiWC5k6V1kIxOgmFm1Xtf1qY-nbZuQ/s400/Roseroseau.tiff" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So off I set on the internet to try and find something that was suitable for combination skin that wouldn't leave me looking like a can of Tango. I did consider buying the same pact I had before from Etude house but I couldn't find any for sale and came across the Dear Girls pact and Zero Sebum. I went for the Dear Girls powder as I wanted a compact I could easily throw in my bag and take out and about with me. So I placed my order online (This was not direct from Etude but the AU Rose Rose shop.) Then waited for my make up to turn up! This didn't take very long to arrive at all and came wrapped up in bubble wrap in a sturdy box.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First things first, look out how cute the packaging is! I really love Etude's attention to detail with these boxes, they are always bright and happy looking. The box also has the ingredients list and other useful information in Korean and in English.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Inside was the compact! This is made of a smooth plastic with the Dear Girls logo on it. It feels very well made and is easy to open, but not so easy that it would come open in your bag.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Opening the compact you'll find a mirror, a sponge for applying the power and the powder itself. The mirror is great, it's very clear and not blurred at all.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The powder has an adorable bird design on it! It smells quite delicate and isn't heavily fragranced.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The puff is perfect for picking up just the right amount of powder and lets you apply it where you need it smoothly. It's very easy to apply as it just glides on. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Being white I was a little worried this would wash me out as I am already quite pale, but it didn't at all. (I didn't blend this in so well on my hand so you could see where the powder was, else it's fairly invisible!) I was really pleased with how long this lasted - I usually apply make up before leaving for work (around 6:30-7:15am) and this lasted till about 3:00pm before I needed to touch it up! It's also very light so it doesn't feel like your skin is caked in powder.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm really pleased with this purchase and I'd definitely buy it again. At just under £5 I think this is well worth the price as a little goes quite a long way too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Have you tried out this compact before? Let me know you thoughts in the comments!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hello Everyone!</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As promised, here is the first post for Kawaii & Cute on a budget! <br />Today's subject is stationary! </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">I love cute stationary, but its often hard to find or really, really over priced.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Paperchase and some of the other high street stores in the UK have started to stock kawaii items like the Iwako erasers, or in Paperchase's case, their own lines, but these are often quite expensive outside of a sale, but do keep them in mind around sale seasons - eg. After Christmas, as I've managed to find quite a few bargains here, if you don't mind stocking up you can even pick up cute Christmas cards and decorations for next year!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: start;">Of course buying online is nearly always cheaper and usually offers a better selection than you would find on the high street and if you don't mind waiting a week or two you can also purchase from abroad giving you even more choice!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: start;">So for online purchases you have a few options: eBay is one of the main ones, though it can be a tad hit and miss. As long as you stick with sellers that don't have too high a percentage of negative reviews you should be fine - and you can always dispute if paying by Paypal if you have an issue. The key to finding great and cute things is to search worldwide - there are a lot of sellers charging way over for items they have imported from China for a fraction of the cost, if you look carefully, you'll be able to find the item direct! Another way is, again keeping the world wide selection on, search for the item you want and switch the sort by to items ending soonest, quite often I've found items with very few or extremely low bids.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: start;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: start;">I thought I'd also share a couple of stationary shops that I've found whilst on my travels on the web too!</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; text-align: start;">Oh my gosh you guys, I recently discovered this store after a friend tagged me on a photo of a Rilakkuma pencil case (I can't imagine why they tagged me, haha!) it's totally filled with the most Kawaii and cute stationary! MIMO specialise in providing cute stationary that you won't find in main stream stores. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: start;">There's my favourite Rilakkuma, the adorable Bunny Molang, cute kitties and so much more! They sell a variety of themes but more importantly they stock a really wide selection of items. I also love that they sell planners and everything to do with decorating planners! </span></span><br />

<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: start;">I've found pens, markers, pencils, highlighters, diaries, tapes, stickers, mascots and more!! The site itself is bright and cheerful and really makes you want to browse the contents which is also super easy due to the clean layout</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: start;">I also like the banner at the top which features new and upcoming products (it currently has the Rilakkuma pencil cases and some pretty pastel coloured Macaron planners that are arriving soon. </span></span><br />

<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: start;">The prices are also very good and definitely on the cheaper side of the scale, which is always good news! Handily for those not in the USA there's an option to change the prices from USD to GBP, CAD or Euro too. They also offer a gift wrapping service for a little extra, which is great news if you are buying a gift for someone. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: start;">MIMO also has their own reward scheme which means you'll get discounts with them for future purchases too - I like when stores offer this as it makes me think that they care about return customers.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: start;" /><br />To check out their store click the link below!</span><br />

Hello Everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I'd like to introduce a new segment called </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kawaii & Cute on a budget!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR9cIHduUSjkx3lN50ei4X4uEcyVdyXcNEnhYejU86thaZY8EpxY2m7iD8yUmO8EYuaT9-TuzntprB6-wV_xAiHplxMv-ZC1d0G4_KN478YT_BnAoa1awaF3Bw8xzfO2FbWY8eEsLqhYU/s1600/KCOAB.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="281" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR9cIHduUSjkx3lN50ei4X4uEcyVdyXcNEnhYejU86thaZY8EpxY2m7iD8yUmO8EYuaT9-TuzntprB6-wV_xAiHplxMv-ZC1d0G4_KN478YT_BnAoa1awaF3Bw8xzfO2FbWY8eEsLqhYU/s400/KCOAB.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
There's a couple of reasons I thought I'd start this segment - firstly, thinking back to Hyper Japan and some of the scalping going on, I wanted to show you where you can find the same things, if not similar for a reasonable price, I'm also aware that some of my lovely readers are on a pretty tight budget or want to get the most value they can for their hard earned money (I know I certinaly do!) and lastly I wanted to share with you a few of the sites and sellers I use to buy for myself! I'll also probably be putting in some how-to's for you to make </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought I'd split this up into several posts so that I can add to the finds/make it easier for you to search via the labels - so if you're searching for something specific, say stationary or lunch boxes you can just click that label to find all the posts on that subject! (They'll be labelled with the prefix K/CAOB: so for example K/CAOB: Stationary so they'll be super easy to find!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So far I've figured out a couple of different ideas for what you might like, but if you have any more please let me know in the comments or on the Facebook page!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hello Everyone!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Today I have a very special interview for you! I think by now that you've seen my gorgeous little Becky logo up in the banner - the gorgeous Chiichanny created her for me on commission! Chiichanny has agreed to a fun little interview with myself so you can learn more about her and her beautiful art!</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #373e4d; font-family: inherit; line-height: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Q: Your artist name is Chiichanny - who is behind Chiichanny and what made you pick the name, tell us a bit about yourself?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #373e4d; font-family: inherit; line-height: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><i style="background-color: white;">HEYA! yep im known as Chiichanny, but the lady behind the alias is Jade Love ::waves::</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #373e4d; line-height: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">My name is</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"> a small but I guess kinda funny story, the first anime I ever fully watched from start to end was Chobits and I completely adored it, with Chii being my favourite character, when I finally got to the online world, I tried to join a forum and chii/chii-chan and all the sorts were taken, so I remixed it and decided to go with Chiichanny all as one word and it just kinda stuck from there haha. I think if I could go back in time and pick another name for my artist alias I probably would have, but after having the name for about 10 years, I just felt that it was too late to change my Alias now when many people out there DO know me as chiichanny, so yeah. </span></span></i><span style="background-color: white; color: #373e4d; font-family: inherit; font-style: italic; line-height: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">As for more about me, I'm Female, live in the UK and I'm currently 24, my star sign is a scorpio and zodiac is a Horse... I'M A SCORPION HORSE a Horpio</span><br />

Hello Everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm sorry for the lack of updates, real life has become really hectic and I'm just not getting time to sit and write anything, though hopefully, this won't be for too much longer!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I thought I'd share with you some good news! I rarely win anything so was super surprised when I won not one, but two give-aways with in a week of each other!</div>

(Her site runs from <a href="http://luna-rain.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Luna Rain</a> - You should totally go check it out!) As my name was first out (there were two prizes to choose from). I chose the sweet prize.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello Lovelies,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I have a sponsored review for you from Riku's Raving Hama Revolution.I contacted Riku after seeing she was looking for testers for her new designs and wares and after contacting her we discussed a custom design at a discounted price of £6.00 which included postage, I was also able to tell her what I liked and pick a colour chain for the necklace.I could also pick out two bonus gifts and I picked some Sailor Moon stickers and cards. Riku informed me that commissions usually take a week maximum but are normally much quicker. A few days later I received a photo of my commission, which I instantly knew I was going to love! Riku then popped in the post to me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just for fun I asked Riku a couple of interview like questions so I could get to know more about her before posting the review!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Q: Who are you? What's your name, and can you tell us a bit about yourself?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>A: My fb name is Riku Brennan, I'm a cosplayer, crafter and big gamer.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Q: What made you want to start Riku's Raving Hama Revolution?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>A: I started Riku's Raving Hama Revolution a couple of years back as I was rubbish at most conventional art eg, drawing and painting. I was a huge fan of minecraft and I used my lobby games in minecrafts as virtual hama studio then translated that to hama bead.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Q: What’s your favourite thing about owning Riku's Raving Hama Revolution?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>A: I love making pieces of jewellery and canvas art pieces that nobody else has. It makes the job worth it to know that you have worked hours on a canvas to please someone.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Q: What would you like Riku's Raving Hama Revolution to achieve in the future?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>A: Stalls and to get my name out there as a bead artist, since not many people do hama art.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Q: Is everything at Riku's Raving Hama Revolution handmade? How long do you spend crafting on a weekly basis?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>A: Everything is handmade from jewellery pieces to canvas pieces to 3d sprites. I work alone so I spend at least 10 hours a day doing hama, either making hama or making templates for future pieces.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Q: Do you try and incorporate cute things into your décor at home or at the office?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>A: My room is my workspace - so I'm surrounded by anime and video games custom art that I've commissioned from other artists.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

A while later after a postal issue, a jiffy bag marked fragile arrived! This is what's inside! Look how awesome it is, this is Sailor Uranus doing her World Shaking attack! (She is my second favourite Sailor Scout!) Everything was sealed up in a cellobag.</div>

Look how much detail went into this, it must have taken forever to plan out and make! I so, so like this! It's really beautiful and colourful and the perfect size. I was a little apprehensive about it being of hama beads as I wasn't sure how sturdy it'd be but it really feels quite robust.</div>

First things first! When we eventually got in we went to find Keren at Tea Time Treasures! Keren and I have been friends for quite a long time now but we've never actually met in person until now. I didn't realise how much of a giant I am until I saw this photo!</div>

Keren's stall had a lot of Lolita, Kawaii and Die Milch merchandise - Tea Time Treasures was one of the very few stalls I found that weren't scalping.</div>

From here I bought two Die Milch Cd's (which they very kindly signed for me! Yay! I'm so happy!)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Keren also very kindly picked up a few items for me in Japan on her last visit (Another post on these later!) But she also gave me this adorable Rilakkuma bottle cover! I've gotten a lot of use out of this already and I just love the picture on it.</div>

Next we went to find Love Jojo's stall as my sister and I had joined in the give-away event - we both got given these cute little squishy panda charms.</div>

We then had a look around the other stalls and did a little shopping, whilst trying to work out where everything was.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We came across LoLiBuNNi quite early on as my sister happened to know one of the people running the stall! They had some goregous items for sale (You should go check out their site) but my favourite thing was the Sailor Moon necklaces.</div>

Last year I bought a ton from Dreamy Bows - this year I could only find one of the items I wanted in my price range, they did have the powder compacts, room fragrance and perfume but these were all out of my budget.</div>

I did buy the locket tablet case - now oddly, and I didn't notice at the time as my purchase was taken from the stock they had an put straight in the bag, the candy is missing! There is a sticker on the bottom of the box saying that the it doesn't contain sweets but I'm 99% sure there should have been some in there - it's rather odd as it means someone has gone through, taken these out of the packet and removed the candy? I found it a little odd but not a major thing.</div>

Now I'm not sure whose stall I bought this from as I couldn't see the name of the stall, but I bought Sailor Uranus's liprod, two petite chara (I was hoping for Sailor Moon) and two of the little capsule prizes (I've wanted the Grail for such a long time!) I think this was my favourite stall next to JP Books and I do wish I'd bought Neptune's rod and more of the petite chara as well.</div>

Hello Lovelies!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's taken me a little while to write this up as I wanted to reflect on the event, and it's turned into a bit of a wall of text which I hadn't intended on. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Two weeks ago I attended the Hyper Japan Festival with my youngest Sister at the O2 in London. Now, many of you know how much I was looking forward to this, not only so I could finally meet my lovely friend Keren, watch Die Milch perform, but also so I could watch some of the other performances and events such as the bento making. I hate to say it but all though I had good time (So much so I almost went for a second day), but it was absolutely chaotic, and not set out in any sensible way what so ever - and oh my stars, it was so, so, SO hot! I don't think there can of been any kind of air conditioning in the area.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For those of you that have been to the O2 it was based in building six, across several floors and separated out into different sections, with the gaming area and a couple of random stalls as you walked into building six, the Hyper Kawaii on the right in the next part and most of the food stalls wedged right in the back. Lord only knows where the maid café and garden was as we sure as hell couldn't find it, nor find any signs as to where it was. This was also the same situation with finding the restrooms - when we approached the staff to find out where they were, we were pretty rudely told where to go and it turned out they were using porta-cabin bathrooms outside the building (Which were pretty gross, if I'm honest.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To get in any of the areas you had to queue and present your wrist band which you needed to collect before entering the O2 (I'd heard a lot of people didn't realise this and were turned away to go get the wrist bands). I don't understand why everything was sectioned off like this, it made everything so much harder to get in and out of, and most of the sections didn't make much sense as part of the food court was in the back of Hyper Kawaii.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hyper Kawaii itself was pretty full as well and we were continuously finding we couldn't get to the stalls we wanted due to people filming and taking photos (I gave up trying to film anything for you on my phone it was so busy). Unlike at Kensington Olympia, this time they had two stages for performances, once seemed to be for official acts like Die Milch and had a big lit stage with a very small seating area and the other was for dance groups and other performers. The problem with this is that they were so close to each other you could hear both performances going on at the same time, and the sound was very loud! (At one point someone was murdering karaoke songs. The other issue with the performer stage was that most of the acts seemed to be dancers to anime songs, whilst some were very entertaining it became very repetitive very quickly.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The food court seemed to be split between a sectioned off bit at the back of building six and Hyper Kawaii - there was far less seating this time and we ended up sitting on the floor to eat our lunch - I think we must have started something as a lot of people joined us on the floor for a make shift picnic!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have no idea where the actual events were that I wanted to see, we never found the Bento making or anything else. I had found a schedule on line before we left that said Die Milch would be on at 4:00pm - it was only when I got back to see Keren that she told me they had already gone on and we could here Rosaria playing - I don't think I've ever run so fast across a building whilst trying to work out which of the two stages they were on (I picked right thankfully!) But I'm gutted that I missed the beginning of my favourite song.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The last thing that really irked me was the insane scalping on some of the stalls and people pretending that bought items were handmade. In some cases I saw items being sold for more than 3x their actual cost to purchase. I understand that people need to make a profit but a huge mark up is just disgusting and meant that I didn't purchase some of the planned items I wanted, and other people felt utterly ripped off when they realised, for example the bag they just paid £35 for actually retails at £13. Items bought on aliexpress or similar being sold as handmade. Yes they may have been handmade somewhere in China but not handmade by you, this isn't the same thing and you can't pass them off as being made by you, there were quite a few people doing this.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hyper Japan is advertised as being a cultural event too. How ever I didn't see this in the slightest this time round. There were far less traditional stalls. I did see the Sake stalls in the food court, and one maybe two travel companies, but that was it, considering this was one of the main draws of the event it was pretty disappointing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know I'm not the only to think this. I've spoken to several people since HJ weekend and I don't know if the Saturday or Sunday were any better but from what I've been told it was even more chaotic. The winter event is being held in a different location and I'm hoping that will improve the situation as it'll be in one place and probably not as split up as this one was. I'm also hoping there will be a better schedule for events and that they will be easier to find as well, I think though I will be treating this as a shopping event rather than anything else.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yFZu08b8IC4/VbJC2_0svPI/AAAAAAAAhx8/3IvdU6bC-TQ/s1600/Hyper%2BJapan%2BSummer%2B2015%2BInstax.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yFZu08b8IC4/VbJC2_0svPI/AAAAAAAAhx8/3IvdU6bC-TQ/s320/Hyper%2BJapan%2BSummer%2B2015%2BInstax.JPG" width="239" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't get me wrong, I really did have a great day out with my Sister and I finally got to meet my friend and I did a ton of shopping and did find some pretty good bargains! (Which was what this post was originally going to be about, but will have it's own separate post). But I have to say that if I wasn't as close to London as I am, and I wasn't going to meet up with friends, and if it was at the O2 again I think I'd have serious doubts about going again as I could have saved myself the ticket/travel money and bought everything I wanted on-line instead.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway! Enough of the downsides, next post up will be my small haul from Hyper Japan!</div>

This sounded fantastic to me, so I booked in to go check out Nice Nails baby! The salon is based at Clapham Junction inside Electric Beach - it's really easy to locate as its right opposite the Clapham Junction Station, so it was just a short train ride from Reading to get to the Salon.</div>

The salon is located downstairs inside Electric Beach, where I met the lovely Michelle who showed me into the nail bar to pick out a polish whilst she finished setting up. It's super light an airy in the salon and I love the décor - there's lots of pictures of manicures on the wall which makes it very colourful too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GJIzydca8sc/VaQnINRA52I/AAAAAAAAhYs/qIeUfVLC09Q/s1600/Nice%2BNails%2BBaby%2B12.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GJIzydca8sc/VaQnINRA52I/AAAAAAAAhYs/qIeUfVLC09Q/s400/Nice%2BNails%2BBaby%2B12.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are different sections for manicures and pedicures, This is the Nail bar, the way everything is set out is fantastic! I love the way that you can see all the colours of nail polish easily on the wall which makes it much easier to see what colour you might like to try! (I wish I had my polish at home set up like this, I can never find the colour I'm looking for!) I opted for an awesome glittery/metallic pink.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BMK1xaSxOhk/VaQnJ6OCUtI/AAAAAAAAhYI/eDdAiPf1SQM/s1600/Nice%2BNails%2BBaby%2B4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BMK1xaSxOhk/VaQnJ6OCUtI/AAAAAAAAhYI/eDdAiPf1SQM/s200/Nice%2BNails%2BBaby%2B4.JPG" width="200" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YhgOwZF6sH4/VaQnEYjTnUI/AAAAAAAAhXE/m9csnhFAY6g/s1600/Nice%2BNails%2BBaby%2B%2B2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YhgOwZF6sH4/VaQnEYjTnUI/AAAAAAAAhXE/m9csnhFAY6g/s200/Nice%2BNails%2BBaby%2B%2B2.JPG" width="200" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When Michelle was ready she showed me into the pedicure area! This area has a built up bench that you sit on, and is so, so cosy! I could have quite happily taken a nap up here!</div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #606060; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></span>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Feeling cosy on the bench with lots of soft pillows!</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So the first part of the pedicure was the foot soak! This was a bubbly foot spa filled with warm water to soften up the skin and nails.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WsfPpzDX4aQ/VaQnEp5K4JI/AAAAAAAAhXI/ZWkcOq1ZXkE/s1600/Nice%2BNails%2BBaby%2B%2B5.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WsfPpzDX4aQ/VaQnEp5K4JI/AAAAAAAAhXI/ZWkcOq1ZXkE/s320/Nice%2BNails%2BBaby%2B%2B5.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next was the fruit foot mask! This smelt really good.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-k7qJ7I5g5jg/VaQnFK-w0_I/AAAAAAAAhXY/Cm9htIxA6Fg/s1600/Nice%2BNails%2BBaby%2B%2B6.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-k7qJ7I5g5jg/VaQnFK-w0_I/AAAAAAAAhXY/Cm9htIxA6Fg/s320/Nice%2BNails%2BBaby%2B%2B6.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then my feet were wrapped in film to retain warmth whilst the foot mask did it's thing, but left my toes free!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ApzuC7tSUx8/VaQnKXvhGYI/AAAAAAAAhYQ/4_wsdCDWoow/s1600/Nice%2BNails%2BBaby%2B7.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ApzuC7tSUx8/VaQnKXvhGYI/AAAAAAAAhYQ/4_wsdCDWoow/s320/Nice%2BNails%2BBaby%2B7.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Michelle then carefully filed my nails. (I never make a good job of them and get them even, but Michelle did a perfect job!)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9YWXipoX0sw/VaQnK1_fm-I/AAAAAAAAhYY/R7dRTzfTD3o/s1600/Nice%2BNails%2BBaby%2B9.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9YWXipoX0sw/VaQnK1_fm-I/AAAAAAAAhYY/R7dRTzfTD3o/s320/Nice%2BNails%2BBaby%2B9.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next came the foot scrub before my feet went back into the foot spa for another soak. The foot scrub was kinda tingly as it was mint which was nice! (It smelt great too!) I then put on my flip flops so Michelle could paint my nails witho out me smudging her hard work once she'd finished ! (I thought this was a fantastic idea, so many places don't do this and I nearly almost wreck it before I get out the door!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zFYe9yv0zWI/VaQnCDOVfpI/AAAAAAAAhWo/CG3RQTSY3_o/s1600/GEDC0727.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zFYe9yv0zWI/VaQnCDOVfpI/AAAAAAAAhWo/CG3RQTSY3_o/s320/GEDC0727.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once they were painted with a base coat, the colour and a top coat, I sat back in the waiting area with a little fan to let the polish dry - I could use doing this at home!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Perfect toes! And I do love the colour, it's such a vibrant pink!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had an absolutely fantastic morning chatting to Michelle whilst she gave my feet a make over! When I left she gave me a bottle of hand and skin cream with her business card which smells divine! She really makes you feel at home and her talents with nails are amazing! (I've been looking at her facebook page over the last few weeks and some of the manicures she has done are spectacular!) I'd really love to go again, and I really think that Nice Nails Baby is totally worth a visit too!</div>

There will be two box sizes available to start with - the mini Desu box which contains 5 items each month for £13 a month including UK delivery, international delivery is £7.00-£12.00. The second Desu box is the Biggu - This includes 9 different items and a drink and includes UK delivery for £18.00 a month. Unfortunately the bigger box is not available to overseas buyers yet but it is something the team is looking into! Desu box will be be accepting PayPal and credit/debit through Stripe, with auto-renewal on subscription: it won't be difficult to cancel though which is super handy!</div>

If this sounds like something you'd like to try out, and why wouldn't you? You can help out Desu Box with their kickstarter! There are plenty of options to help donate, starting from as little as £1 with lots of different rewards (not to mention the actual boxes for the higher tiers!) So please show your support for a new start up company who I think have a fantastic idea!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hello Lovelies!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am so excited! It's finally the week of the Hyper Japan Festival! I will be attending this on the Friday with my youngest sister! Come and say 'Hello!' if you spot me! I had been intending to wear cosplay for this but due to the recent heat wave in England, I think I'll save it for the Christmas event and just wear something kawaii to avoid heatstroke! This event looks like it will be so much bigger than the last one I attended in November - for starters this one is being hosted at the O2 arena! I've never been there before so that's exciting in itself!</div>

Hyper Kawaii looks like it will be fun too! There's always lots of shopping to be done - I'm definitely going to check out Teatime treasures and Love JoJo's stalls first! Not forgetting of course that there is a dedicated gaming zone too! I do believe Nintendo will be attending.</div>
