Yes, I'm still alive...

2011-05-13T22:08:00.007+02:00

Hello my lovelies!

Yes, I'm still alive! I know it's been quite some time since the last time I updated this blog. To be honest, I even thought of deleting this blog.

I've been battling with some health problems over the last year and I'm still recovering right know.

I seriously have to send out a HUGE THANK YOU to all the loyal subcribers, who have been patiently waiting. Big KISSES AND HUGS to you, I really appreciate it!♥

Some people might already know, that I'm studying law. My second term just started two weeks ago! It's really demanding and takes up most of my time, but I am determined to keep this blog somewhat alive!

I have a HUGE JEWELLERY Haul coming up, along with some OOTD and FOTD, so look out fot that!=)

I hope my subbies will continue to read my blog and if you have any questions, suggestions or requests, please feel free to leave a comment or pop me an email!

See you soon!;)

Love,

Ji♥

Fall fashion longings and classic literature...

2010-09-14T01:18:00.002+02:00

Hello lovelies!♥

I have to admit...

I'm kind of more into fashion than into make up right now! I love fall fashion!!!♥

And I'm obsessed with making shopping lists at zipia.net and gmarket.com! The only problem is that zipia.net has a minimum order of 300 dollar and gmarket has a ridicolous shipping policy! Grrrr...

I hate that my hair starts to fall out like crazy in fall!;__; I can't get rid of the feeling of getting bald!:(

Good thing that my hair grows pretty fast!

A quick tip:

Massage your scalp everytime you wash your hair. It stimulates the roots and makes your hair grow faster!

I've also been reading a lot lately. I always prefered reading classic literature over easy reads!

At the moment I'm enjoying Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre. I'm halfway through and I like it very much so far!:)

See you soon!

Love,

Ji♥

Cut my hair again...

2010-09-08T23:55:00.001+02:00

Hello my lovelies!♥

I've actually cut my hair again! I heat style my hair a lot and I wanted to get rid of ALL the dead ends! I'm pampering my hair right now with an Extra Virgin Olive Oil mask! Just spread the oil through your entire hair and sleep with it (I usually wrap my hair with cling film). It makes your hair suuuuper smooth and shiny!♥

This is a picture from June...

Can you see the beautiful background?

It's the city I was born in and love so much!♥

In about 2 weeks a part of the movie The Three Musketeers (with Orlando Bloom♥) is going to be shot here.=)

I'm determined to blog at least once a week (I'm a bad blogger, I know!;_;), because all your lovely comments keep me motivated to blog!

Thank you so much!♥♥♥

Next up:

New hairdo

Hauls

Mascara comparison

Nail polish reviews

What kind of posts do you want to see more on my blog...?

Love,

Ji♥

I'm back + ZARA online shop!

2010-09-02T20:39:00.002+02:00

Hi everyone!

I'm back...again. x.x

And this time I've got an excuse for my long hiatus. My Dad was hospitalized for 2 months and I've been helping out my Mom as much as I could with housework, grocery shopping etc..

But he's back now and my everyday life is almost back to normal!:)

In less than a month I'll be going to uni...

I've decided to major in law and European law. I know it'll be tough and a lot of people tell me to change my major, but I want to at least try and give my best at studying law.

I kind of look mean in this picture!o.o

My mom gave me a haircut today (my hair is still a little wet in the pictures). It has grown quite a bit...I'm trying to grow out my shortest layers and my bangs. Going for the innocent look?

I've been dieting for a couple of months now and I've lost about 5kg, but the sad thing is, that I lost about half a cup size as well!;__; Do you have any idea, how I can get my normal cup size back?

♥

The colours are a little bit off in the pictures...

I've painted this for a friends birthday. I've only had about 3 hours (it was still wet when I gave it to her), because I got the invite on the day of the party (I've left my phone at a friends house and just got it back...)

And even worse, the party was on a Sunday. I mean...helloooo where the heck do I get a present 3 hours before a birthday party on a Sunday???

She's moving right now and I thought she might like a painting for her walls. I hope she likes it!=)

I haven't painted anything for quite some time, I should practice more often as I'm not as good anymore as I was with 16...

And to all of my readers in Europe.

Zara FINALLY got an ONLINE SHOP!"!"!

How awesome is that???

I'm already making a list of what I want to get!:P

What are your favourite pieces for fall?

Love,

Ji♥

P.S.: I've decided to remove my chat box. All those spam comments are annoying the hell out of me and I'm not willing to give suspicious people space on my blog to advertise their sites! You can always comment, write an email or twitter me, if you have any questions or just want to talk!:)

Prom dresses

2010-05-17T02:11:00.000+02:00

Hello my lovelies!♥

I'm finally back!:)

I wanted to say a big THX to all of my loyal readers and commenters! I ♥ you so much!*-*

So...what's going on in my life?

I'm almost finished with school now, my last exam is in 4 weeks!

My prom is in June and I'm searching for a cute dress. Actually I've already found a few dresses that I really like!

Both dresses are from Apart Impressions and cost about 120 Euro. You have to wait 3 weeks to get them delivered though!;__;

I've always wanted a princessy dress, white and flowy, but not too long, as I am not that tall. I don't want to look like a dwarf in a tent!:P

Any recommendations for styles and sites that sell prom dresses? I've seen cute dresses onASOS as well!:)

I'm actually on a diet right now, exam stress put a lot of extra weight on me!T__T

No sweets allowed (I usually eat more sweets than normal stuff!)!!!

I just want to cry the whole day...

On a different note...

I'm still not sure what to study in future. I'm thinking about becoming a law student. I've always been interested in this kind of field...especially international law and relations.

Argh...I don't now...I was also thinking about studying graphic or communication design, even though the competition is really though...

What do you think I should study?

Are you satisfied with your profession right now?

So many things to think about...my head is going to explode!!!

My bangs really need a trim!:( I was thinking of growing them out, but a lot of people tell me to cut them again...

I'm definetly going to post my DHC and Clinique reviews this week and maybe a little haul, so stick around for more!:)

I really missed blogging, almost forgot how fun it was!:P

See you soon!

Love,

Ji♥

Change!♥

2010-05-16T00:51:00.003+02:00

Hello my lovelies!♥

Long time no see...

I finally finished all my written exams and I have some free time on my hands now.

I'm going to change a few things on this blog, so stay tuned for more posts, hauls, reviews etc.!:)

I will be posting an update about my life and future tomorrow.

Ahhhh...I really missed blogging!!!^___^

Did you notice the new layout? I finally got the hang of it...I think!:P

It's still not finished though...

What should I blog about next...?

See you tomorrow!*-*

Love,

Ji♥

Spring!♥

2010-04-03T23:46:00.004+02:00

Hello my lovelies!♥

My Easter holidays have started, but I'm sick again....bhuuuu!;__;

But I'm feeling a little bit better today, so I decided to do a little update!:)

I've got some new eyeshadows from DHC and Clinique, which I really like (I'm doing a review soon) and some other random things, haul post coming up soon!*-*

It's starting to get warmer here in Germany as well...I really enjoy spring!♥

It's time to cut my hair, I hate split ends!!!~.~

On another note...

One of my favourite blogs HEARTOFPEARL is doing a 500 followers Giveaway!

Congrats to you Pearl!♥

You should hurry up and enter, because the Giveaway ends tomorrow April 4th (my daddy's birthday *-*) and you don't want to miss the chance to win a cute Rilakkuma!♥

Love,

Ji♥

Review: B-liv by Cellnique and GIVEAWAY

2010-03-17T17:33:00.002+01:00

Hello my lovelies!

Today I'm going to review a few products from the B-liv by Cellnique skin care line!

Selina of Cellnique kindly sent me a few products to try and review:

Submerge me

Off with those heads

Leach me

Sample of Shield me

Sample of Quench me

Off with those heads

Main functions: clear blackheads + whiteheads

Description: Off With Those Heads removes white & blackheads without violence or pain, and stops them from appearing ever again. The gel softens the clogging blocking your pores, allowing for effortless extraction and removal of all sores. Its essence ingredients keep oil secretions under control, and skin irritation will never again rule!

My Verdict: I actually never had huge problems with blackheads, but I hated the whiteheads around my nose. I was really thrilled to try this raved about product Off with those heads. The first time I have read about this product was on Xiaxue’s blog and I am sure everyone who sees the before & after pictures would be excited to try this product! The serum itself is clear, very runny and non sticky, one pump is actually enough to cover all my problem areas on my face. I don’t really like the scent of it, smells kind of citrusy, but the smell goes away almost immediately after applying. The first time I tried it, it kind of stung my skin a little bit, but I think the my skin adapted to it. After one week of using this product everyday my whiteheads were pretty much gone. I think this product will be awesome for people who suffer from blackheads and whiteheads, it really lives up to the hype!

Ingredients List: Purified Water (Aqua), Aloe Vera (Aloe barbadensis) Extract, Witch Hazel (Hamamelis virginiana) Extract, Carbomer, Propylene Glycol, Menthol, Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) Oil, Poly(Oxy-1,2-Ethanediyl)Α-(Donyl Phenyl)-Ω-Hydroxy, Sodium Hydroxide, Perppermint (Metha piperita )Oil, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Diazolidinyl Urea.

Submerge me

Main functions: deep moisturizing + brightening+ age preventing

Description: Submerge Me provides instant relief from parched skin grief, by replenishing and retaining moisturization in your thirsty complexion. It brightens dull complexions and calms skin irritations, while suppressing the signs of premature aging.

My Verdict: Submerge me is a very light and non greasy/sticky moisturizer and absorbs quickly on the skin. I really like the smell of it, it is quite pleasant and does not linger too long. I still use my Florena moisturizer (review coming soon) at night, because even though Submerge me is a very good day time moisturizer, I prefer a thicker cream at night. My skin is awfully dehydrated especially during winter and I need a richer cream to keep it alive. I have used Submerge me for 3 weeks now and I have noticed that my skin feels a lot softer and smoother than before. It says that Submerge me is meant for people with dry skin, but I would recommend it even to people with oily/combination skin as it is very light weight and non greasy.

Ingredients List: Purified Water (Aqua), Cetearyl Isononanoate, Ceteareth-6 Olivate, Trehalose, Cetearyl Alcohol, Glycerin, Olive Oil PEG-7 Esters, Ceramide III, Ceramide 6 II, Dimethicone, Ceramide 1, Diazolidinyl Urea, Fragrance, Triethanolamine, Cetyl Palmitate, Sorbitan Palmitate, Carbomer, Xanthan Gum, Strawberry Begonia(Saxifraga sarmentosa) Extract, Grape (Vitis vinifera) Fruit Extract, Sorbitan Olivate, Methylparaben, White Mulberry (Morus bombycis) Root Extract, Baikal Skullcap (Scutellaria baicalensis) Root Extract, Propylparaben.

Leach me

Main functions: deep moisturizing + brightening + age preventing

Description: Leach Me latch on to your dry, dull, deteriorating skin - and feel it moisturize, fortify and synthesize from within. The mask acts fast, burrowing its special nutrients into your skin - and your lines will refine, your dryness will vanish - and the mirror will reveal a beaming face once again!

My Verdict: I never pamper my skin, but after trying this mask, I think I should start to use masks more often. I really like how my skin felt really soft and smooth after using this mask. I can't tell if the age preventing properties are true as I have only tried it once.

Ingredients List: Purified Water (Aqua), 1, 3 - Butylene Glycol, Glyceryl Polyacrylate, Sodium PCA (Sodium 1-Pyrrolidonecarboxylate Solution), Propylene Glycol, Lemon (Citrus medica limonum) Fruit Extract, Sour Milk (Lactic Acid), Mandelic Acid, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Carboxymethyl Beta-Glucan, Chamomile (Matricaria recutita) Flower Extract, Algae Extract, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Sodium Hyaluronate, Co-enzyme Q10 (Ubiquinone), Hydrogenated Egg Yolk Phosphlipids, Acerola (Malpighia punicifolia) Fruit Extract, Alcohol Denat., Glycerin, Lecithin, Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, Fragrance, PPG-26-Buteth-26, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, BHA (Salicylic Acid), Diazolidinyl Urea, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Imidazolidinyl Urea, Phenoxyethanol, Butylparaben, Ethylparaben, Isobutylparaben, Sulisobenzone (Benzophenone-4).

The Downside: The Price

The prices are definetly more on the expensive side, but you get what you pay for. And the best part is, that Bliv by Cellnique offers world wide free shipping! Also look out for promotions, they usually have great deals where you can get the products a lot cheaper!

On the left side: Submerge me

On the right side: Off with those heads

Before:

After:

I am pretty sure, that I will get some comments about how there is no difference in the before and after picture, but that is because of my crappy camera. Believe me, there IS a difference! I don't want to sound conceited, but I never had any problems with blemishes, blackheads etc, so the difference might not be as obvious...

I am really sorry, that the colours of the before&after pictures are so off, it's because the before picture was taken at night with flash and the after picture on broad daylight. I should really buy a new camera...but...no money!;__;

Yaay to healthy skin! I am only wearing a translucent powder on this picture!:)

If you want to know more about the Bliv by Cellnique products visit the website:

www.blivskin.com or their facebook fanpage here.

And last but not least...

GIVEAWAY!!!

B-liv by Cellnique was kindly enough to offer a free sample of Off with those heads to the 50 first readers of this post!!!

Valid ends next Wednesday, so you have one week to enter, but don't forget, only the 50 first people will get a free sample!

Good luck!♥

Exciting news!♥

2010-02-22T23:29:00.002+01:00

Hello my lovelies!♥

I'm back with some exciting news!:)

I got a package from Cellnique today (can't wait to try out everything!) and I'm going to review it soon! Just wanted to let you know !;)*tease*

A random soft smokey eye...

I'm not wearing circle lenses, I wanted the make up to go with my Angel Greys, but big no no!

I really don't know how people can wear circle lenses or just normal contact lenses everyday!

I don't like wearing them (I've only worn them twice), they feel uncomfortable and my vision gets blurry!;__;

But maybe it's just the type of my circle lenses? I really want to try the EOS Adult Brown ones...

I love the camera of my Samsung SGH-F480 phone!♥

5.0 megapixels...not bad for a phone camera!

The CUTEST little dog ever!!!♥

My little brother (sweet 10 years old :D) is holding Bumblebee in this picture hi hi...

Toto and Bumblebee are so much bigger now...they are actually born on the same day as me (29.09.)...so random!;)

I was acutally going to do a hair care routine post today, but I actually don't have one at the moment.

My hair (and skin) feels incredibly dry and damaged...

I'm even thinking of getting a hair cut to prevent further damage!;__;

I've heard that the Shiseido Tsubaki line is good for dry hair...maybe I should try it?

On another note...

I'm really wondering why I get so many comments on my First day+outward curls post?

Just tons and tons of spam comments...

It's really annoying!!!

I hope I'm not linked on some weird website...

I'll be back soon with more interesting posts!:)

Love,

Ji♥

P.S.: I really want to thank all my loyal followers and of course all my new readers! I really appreciate it and I don't take it for granted as I know that I'm seriously bad at keeping my blog alive... I'm going to do a little Giveaway once I hit 300 followers, just to give something back to you guys!♥

UPDATE + Valentine

2010-02-07T19:47:00.005+01:00

I seriously neglected this blog.

I always start my updates with an APOLOGY,

but this time I really needed a break.

I'm in my last year of school and

tests/assignments are killing me...really.

I can't keep up with my social life and I'm really sad, that I lost touch with a lot of people...

I usually keep up with facebook (feel free to add me there!♥) and sometimes twitter...

I'm still debating if I should join formspring, but I don't think people are that interested in me!:P

Valentine's Day is coming, I can almost smell the PINKNESS and CHOCOLATE in the air!♥

I don't know if it's weird, that I still have not experienced love or anything like love yet.

I always get asked, why I don't have a boyfriend by all my male friends. I like to hang out with boys, but not in THAT way.

I guess my expectations of my future boyfriend are pretty high...

I hate hate hate to watermark my pictures! I didn't care about people taking my pictures before, but it caused so much trouble. It's just so damn annoying!

And if your as talented as me with your PC, than all your effort is wasted, because you can't even see the watermark! Black on black...quite eye-catching, right?;)

My attempt on Valentine's hair...even though I won't go out on Valentine's Day.

(I dutch-braided my fringe, curled my hair with the flat iron and put it up with bobby pins.)

My horoscope for 2010 (I'm Libra♥) says, that I'll only attract lousy guys, but at least I'll get rich if the horscope is right!;)

Yoshimi-chan translated the Popteen 2010 horocope, thank you so much!♥

I love her posts about cosplay, anime and conventions! You should check her out, if you like kawaii stuff and cosplay!:D

I rediscovered my love for Haduri!♥

Please don't mind my silly face!xP

I'll be back with more updates!;)

Coming up:

Favourite KPOP/KROCK artists

Hair care routine

Updated skin care routine

Nailpolish collection

Circle lenses review

Tell me what you want me to blog about next!:D

Love,

Ji♥

P.S.: I'm trying to change my blogger layout. Any recommendations for good blogger templates? It would be a huuuuge help!♥♥♥

Merry Christmas!♥

2009-12-24T21:09:00.005+01:00

Merry Christmas everyone!♥

My dogs got a bunch of presents!^___^

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas!^-^

Update after the Holidays.*-*

Can't wait to blog again!;)

I'm sorry for the lack of updates, I'm still kind of sick....:(

Love,

Ji♥

My puppies!♥

2009-12-05T19:00:00.004+01:00

I seriously don't know how people manage to keep up with blogger!;__;

I can't seem keep up with it no matter what...

I'm sorry for being a useless blogger!x.x

Omg I got the cutest dogs in the world!!!♥

My Dad bought them last Sunday and I'm so much in love!

Who would have known that I'm a dog lover!?;)

I really want to watch Hachiko (the one with Richard Gere*-*), I cried while watching the preview!T__T

We got two Maltese dogs, about 10 weeks old!*3*

The one in the picture is Toto (like the little dog in The Wizard of Oz), couldn't get a picture of Bumblebee yet (he's always sleeping when I come home!;__;).

It's so funny how my parents pronounce Bumblebee, sounds so funny!;P

And yes, he's named after Transformers...I should have named them Bumblebee and Optimus Prime, but that's so not cute!LOL.

My mother wanted to change Bumblebee's name to Bambi as it is easier to pronounce, but she still calls him Bamblebee, it just suits him so much more!;D

♥

No new pictures of me today, I'm so stressed out by school.

This one is about...5 months old? My hair has grown out so much now...

Lately I haven't had the time to even think of dressing up pretty!-.-

But I'm going out tonight, I'll try to take some pictures then!^-^

See you soon!♥

Love,

Ji♥

It's getting cold...

2009-11-14T23:14:00.003+01:00

Two posts in one week?

Yaaaaaaaay me!;P

I actually wanted to do a circle lenses review next, but I'm not sure how I feel about them yet!

(I've only worn them twice...)

I've visited an abbey today... exciting...right?

Okay not really...

There was some kind of memorial for missionaries who died in Korea (WWII) or something. (It was pretty boring AND freezing cold in the church...)

My father wanted us to know something about Korean history, but even he said it was boring.

I took some pictures with my phone in the backyard of the abbey.

It seems like I'm always wearing the same clothes in all of my pictures, but I assure you I'm not!;P

♥

It's getting so cold here in Germany...

I've recently cut some layers in my hair (twitter, remember?:D).

I still have a hair product to review...

Ha ha I've got my first spam comment yesterday...of course it had to be Viagra advertising. Seriously what's the point of spamming my blog with that? I'm pretty sure, I don't even have any male readers!:P

I'm going to continue reading the Tortilla Curtain now. :)

See you soon!♥

Love,

Ji♥

Childhood pictures!♥

2009-11-11T22:58:00.006+01:00

Do you know the feeling of suddenly remembering a certain person and then wondering what happened to him/her?

Sometimes I wish that I'd kept contact with some childhood friends...

Anyway I've looked through some old photo albums...

My mom always tells me how ugly and fat I was as a baby, isn't she nice?:P

She loves to tease me! I love you mom!:)♥

My grandma and me in Korea. I've only seen her 3 times in my life...it's so sad. I wish I could visit her more often!

♥

All my aunts loved to leave lipstick marks on my face...I usually cried ha ha.

♥

My mom always dressed me up like a doll, I was wearing the cutest clothes ever!♥

♥

My 100 days "Birthday" I believe. People in Korea usually have a big celebration on the 100th day after the birth of their babies.^^ It's just crazy...so much food! My mom made everything herself and even more! Can you see the Hello Kitty in the background?;)

♥

This was the picture I was searching for. When I was a child, I used to play more with guys than with girls. The boy in the picture was kind of like my big brother and my best friend. We made our parents worry so much. Once we just snuck out of the house in our PJs and walked barefoot to the vineyards...we were plain crazy! He moved away when I was 7 or 8...I really wonder what he's doing now...

♥

LOL...try searching for me...;)

My mom REALLY loved to dress me up...this was my first "Fasching"! I think I was 4 or 5 when this picture was taken!^^

♥

Next up will be a circle lenses review. ^^

By the way I was wondering, if I have any German followers?

Should I translate the posts into German?

P.S. Does anyone know sites with cute + simple blogger layouts? I want to change my layout (and make a banner), but...I'm really bad with html. It'd be a huuuge help!♥

See you soon!^^

Love,

Ji♥

Skin care + mini haul!♥

2009-10-25T17:26:00.003+01:00

Day X.

I'm so sorry for the delay!;__;

Thanx to all of my super patient and understanding followers!

I ♥ you all!♥♥♥

First of all...CANDY!♥

{I was playing around with a program called MX on my Daddy's PC, pretty fun!^^}

{My hair is getting long...growing out a short haircut is no fun!;__;}

{♥}

{Some of the things I bought through the last few months...}

P2 nailpolishes: Love them! I like them more than the essence nailpolishes. The grey one has a pinky/purple sheen to it...so beautiful!*-*

essence nailpolishes: Got them from friends for my Birthday!^^ Two pinks with large and small glitters and a pearly white, super cute!

essence retractable eyeliner: Needed one...decent staying power.

catrice eyeshadows: Matte reddish brown and creamy white, they're not super pigmented, but none the less beautiful.

RIMMEL stay matte powder: Awesome product, using this and Revlon Colourstay foundation as a concealer...love!♥

{♥}

{Rings I bought in Spain...I love big rings, they're super cute and very unique!^-^}

Haven't had the patience to search for all the things I bought in Spain, but these are definetly my favourite buys out of everything I bought!^^

{♥}

My current skin care regime!

To be honest with you...I don't really use a lot of products.

My skin is very dry and thin (you can see a lot of veins and vessels through my skin) and super sensitive. I don't get pimples very often, but my skin seriously isn't perfect. I have a lot of redness and dry spots...it's aweful!-.-

I change my moisturizer every time I run out of my current one. I haven't found a moisturizer that I liked enought to keep using it.

Right now I'm using Neutrogena, before that I tried VICHY Oligo, L'oreal and LA ROCHE-POSAY, which were all okay, but not great.

♥

About a month ago I started using an eye serum to reduce eye bags and dark circles under my eyes.

The one I'm using right now is from Balea (a German brand) and really makes my eyes look bright and awake.^^

I'm also using a serum from Balea to minimize my pores, but I don't use it that often.

♥

This works like a charm! It's a night treatment from essence to dry out spots and acne scars. I bought this a week ago or so as I got a pimple and used it as a night spot treatment, it worked wonders!^^

The only downside about this product is the smell...it smells very chemically.

♥

La Roche-Posay wash gel for sensitive skin, I use it after removing all my make up. It smells really nice!^^

Balea 3 in 1 wash cream...I use it mainly as a peeling, but you can use it to remove make up or as a mask as well. It's similiar to the Neutrogena wash cream.

♥

Make up remover...I always take my make up off before I wash my face. Essence oil based eye make up remover for waterproof make up and La Roche-Posay for normal make up.:)

♥

I've tried out a Clinique skin care set and really liked how it made my skin feel really smooth, BUT the moisturizer stung my eyes like crazy. My eyes got all irritated whenever I used it...I guess it just shouldn't be.T__T

{♥}

I really need to catch up with blogger, I haven't commented on any blog for months now!;__;

I always answer all questions on my twitter and my comment box, don't be afraid to leave requests, complaints etc. there!;P

Coming Up:

Mascara comparison

My new favourite hair product

Ask my DAD!-.-

He made a HUGE mess out of my room, I'll need days to clean it up and I'm writing a test on Thursday!T__T

Forgive me?

Hello lovelies!

I feel so bad about not posting anything in aaaages!;(

I'm stressed out with school and my new project (update on this later^^) and my birthday is coming up on Tuesday...

I'm a brat...an old brat.x.x

♥

I'm wearing my beautiful Amore Vintage necklace, I love it!♥

It's getting cold here already...enjoying the last sunrays for this summer!:)

By the way...it seems that a lot of sites that sell circle lenses shut down?

Where do you usually buy circle lenses from?

Any recommendations?;)

Ahh and if you didn't know, I usually try to answer every comment, but it's hard to keep up...

2009-08-31T22:04:00.009+02:00

Finally my first Tutorial!!!

Yes, it took me forEVER to post this...

And it's only a very simple tutorial! I seriously don't know, how some people can post a tutorial almost every other day...I'm not made to do tutorials!:P

Make Up Tutorial: Light Purple♥

What I used:

1. Start off with a clean face. Apply foundation if you want, I'm only using a translucent powder.=)

♥

2. Apply a purple cream shadow (#1) on your eyelids as a base. Don't overapply, otherwise your eyeshadow will crease!

♥

3. Apply a purple pearlescent eyeshadow all over your eyelid (#2) and add a darker purple with blue undertones (#3) along your lashline and your outer V.

♥

4. Line your lower lashline with the same dark purple and highlight your inner corner with a white eyeshadow (#4). I used a white eyeshadow with pink sheen to it!^-^

♥

5. Line your top and bottom lashline with a black liquid eyeliner. Make a slight wing to extend your eyes.

♥

6. Apply your favourite mascara!♥

♥

7. Use a rosy pink blush on the apples of your cheek. Blend! Apply a pale pink lipgloss.:*

And that's the finished look!♥

I hope you like it!;) It's so simple, I don't think anyone needs a tutorial for this look, but I usually wear pretty simple make up, I'm no make up artist!;__;

By the way...I'm starting to do add watermarks to my pictures. I thought it wouldn't be necessary, but I guess I was wrong.

I'm lazy, I hate to add watermarks!;__;

On the other hand...did anyone of you had problems with stalkers?

Someone called our fixed line today (my mom was on the phone) and wanted to meet me bla bla... I don't know him, but he seems to know where I live. My mom was so funny, she first thought he meant her and answered him, that she has 3 kids an a husband and doesn't want to meet him!:P Maybe he's just a lonely person with no life...?-.- My whole family is all ga ga right now, they don't want me to go out alone anymore...;P

Hope you have a wonderful day!:)

Kisses ♥

I ♥ AV Jewelry!!!

Ahhh this post is SO long overdue, I'm so slow...

Anyway, looooong looooooong ago I've sent Aileen from Amore Vintage a single earring (I've lost the other one, dumb I know...;__;) and asked her, if she could make a necklace out of it.

The picture below tells all...it's BEAUTIFUL, she even sent me matching earrings and TONS of extras!

I ♥ you Aileen! You're an angel!♥

You should definetly check out her Giveaway, you can win amazing jewelry!!!

♥

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I get sick so often!

I can easily catch a cold in the midst of August.

Looking sick...but I love my new scarf!♥

I chopped off at least 5 cm of my hair...the ends were really dry!;__;

I'm thinking of growing out my bangs...what do you think?

My brother is coming back from Korea today!♥

I missed him so much...to be honest...I wanted to go to Korea as well, but I had the chance to visit Korea on my own with 16 and I think it was a great experience. He should have the same chance!^.^'

Ahhhhh and thank you to all my old and new followers!

I know I'm really slow and it's hard to wait so long for updates, please forgive me!;//;

I ♥ you all*-*

Kisses

Spain again!^.^

2009-08-19T01:50:00.002+02:00

Finally my Spain post!;__;

It took me aaaages to look through all 1500 pictures!

I'm really sorry for the super long wait, I'm quite busy (as always...:/).

Everything happens so fast, I get the feeling that I can't keep up with my life...

The quality of the pictures is quite bad, I don't know why blogger does this!:(

Nevertheless I hope you enjoy this post!^^

The beautiful organ in a small French town.

We toured trough Europe with a bus, so we had a 4 hour stop in France.

(The bus drivers had to rest.)

It was...almost like hell...24 hour bus ride...omg...

♥

La Sagrada Familia en Barcelona.

You have to see this church once in your life...

It's impossible to capture all the details of this church, simply breathtaking!

♥

Dalí Park Güell.

Dalí made a masterpiece!

♥

Las Ramblas.

You can go crazy with shopping in Barcelona...it's crazy!

Las Ramblas are huge streets with artists, showmen and shops, department stores, simply everything!^-^

♥

And of course the overwhelmingly beautiful sea.

All the pictures were taken on different places, we were driving around a lot with our bus!:P

♥

Tossa.

The cutest little city ever!

Tossa is known for its silver jewelry, I bought a few things for me and my friends!^^

This shop was so pretty, it seemed like a big dollhouse rather than a shop that sells stuff!;)

♥

Our hotel Cap Roig.

I loved the furnishing and the buffet was amazing!!!

On the way to breakfast...fresh out of the swimming pool!^^

♥

Picture with my friends!*-*

♥

Avignon in France on the way back home.

This city is crazy! It's full of artists, theatres and actors on the streets!

I was pretty tired, but I had to take a picture of this artist, his works were stunning!

Palais de Papes.

Can you see how tired I am?:P

I'm looking like a wrack!~.~

Phuaaa I'm most probably uploading some pictured to my facebook later on, look out for that!^^

I couldn't post about everything from my Spain trip, it'd take way too much time...;__;

Random:

1. Haul post (stuff is piling up!)

2. Tutorial (I'm a bit scared nobody'll like it!;__;)

3. I'm having a Sushi Dinner at my place tomorroy (pictures!;P)

4. Got my first hater comment, blogger is getting dirtier!;)

5. Twitter is addicting!!!

Love

Ji♥

P.S. I missed blogger!;)

Spain!

2009-08-04T02:24:00.002+02:00

Hello lovelies!♥

I'm back...:P

School trip to Spain was awesome, I had so much fun!

I actually slept less than 20 hours in 9 days...yeah...

It was super hot and humid.

I got sun burnt...yes.-.-

Delicious sea food, beautiful ocean, everything was great.

(I was looking at a weird looking insect, thus the funny face!xP)

BUT...I don't have the time to post about it right now!;__;

I'm so busy, I came home after a 22 hour bus ride on Wednesday (we got suspended from school because of the swine flu...lol) and haven't been home one single day! I have 6 weeks summer break starting today by the way!^.^'

I'm not going to be home tomorrow or the day after tomorrow either...but I missed blogger so much that I decided to do a quick update before I leave. I'm going to Nürnberg for a photo shoot of a friend (I'm doing her make up♥), after that 3D cinema and the day after that to Bochum (3-4 hours away from where I live) for dinner!^^

I'll update right after I come back and post more pictures of my Spain trip!^^ (I have over 1500 pictures...could take a while to sort them all :P)

Thank you all for your patience! ;///;

Hugs to all my old and new subscribers!♥♥♥

I ♥ you all so much!*///*

Just some random pictures...o.o

Hmm...I guess it's not too hard to find me...as I'm the only Asian among my classmates!^^

That's not my whole class by the way...we are approx. 70 people?

Please don't look at the ugly me, but at my lovely friends! I love them so much!♥

See you in 2 days!*-*

Love

Ji♥

Favorite character contest+update!

2009-07-19T19:20:00.001+02:00

Hello lovelies!♥

I decided to enter Kawaiikao's Favorite Character Contest!♥

She's a cutie, I love her blog, one of the first blogs I followed on blogger!^-^

The contest ends today, so hurry up and enter, if you haven't already!!!;P

As you may know I am a huge reader...classics are my forte!;)

I wanted to do a Elizabeth Bennet inspired look, but I don't think that'd be very interesting...

I think she doesn't wear any make up?

She's my all time favourite character though...♥

My favourite Grimm character is Snow White!♥

She's always been my number one princess...

Black hair, red lips, white skin...every Asian girl's dream, right?^-^

Inspiration picture here!♥

♥

Simple neutral eyes, pink blush and red lips!

I've used the lashes from Aileen's love package!♥

I needed a few tries to apply them, but they look really pretty!^^

♥

Close up...

♥

Update:

1. I'm going to be in Spain from Tuesday, 21st of July till Wednesday, 22nd of July...

9 days to be exact...school trip to Catalonia and Barcelona.

I won't be able to go online there, so no posts until I come back!;__;

2. I think I found a new favourite sunblock, I'm going to test it under the hot & humid weather in Spain and review it when I come back!^^

3. I'm using different skincare products now, reviews coming!^-^

4. Haul might be up tomorrow, if I have enough time (I have to pack for Spain...ahhhh!).

5. Didn't have the time to finish the tutorial, it'll be up when I come back!;__;

See you in two weeks!:)

Love

I'll announce the winner as soon as I checked all the entries, at the latest on Friday.

I'm really sorry for the wait! Please bear with me!;///;

I noticed that a few people unsubscribed...I can understand why, I rarely update, cause I'm too busy with school+life. I wish I could update more often...I'm really sorry.;__;

If you follow me on twitter, you'll know that I was really sick for 3 days...I got a heatstroke (from shopping-.-), my face was burning and I threw up everything I ate.

That is why winter is my favourite season!*lol*

My face looks terrible, I definetly need a new sunblock.

Did you know myspace has a Photo designer? You can add funny frames and stuff to your pictures!:P

I still want to buy PS though...but it's so expensive!;__;

♥

I've got some love packages from Aileen and Eki!♥

Aileen sent me a little something, for no reason! It came completely unexpected on the same day as Eki's package and I was like O____O??? Two packages? Oh happy daaaay!;D♥

She sent me some Suki Toner + Foam Cleanser, fake eyelashes and chocolate! I really love the toner, it smells like roses!^-^

I'm a fake eyelashes virgin, don't know, if I'll be able to use them without poking my eyes out!:P

Thank you so so much Aileen, can't wait to see my custom necklace! Check out her jewelry shop, she makes awesome vintage jewelry, you'll love it!^-^

♥

I recently won 2nd place on Eki's cosplay contest and her package came with lots of surprises!!!

She threw in so many extras, I was stunned when I opened the package!

And the package came so fast! It arrived after 3 days, it usually takes about 10-14 days!!! Crazy, I know!ö.ö

The blush is super cute, perfect for summer!♥

I gave this palette to my mom, she travels a lot for work and really needed something simple to travel with!^^

The pink brush is really adorable!;)

I already used the sample of the Diorshow mascara once and I love it! It smells nice and really lenghtens the eyelashes...volume not so much, but I can live with that!^^

Hello Kitty body butter, smells like candy, so yummy!*-*

Nail art stickers and some cute bunny stickers!♥

Eki also added some candies, but I gave them to my brothers, except for the Melon gums, they taste like heaven!♥♥♥

Thank you so so much Eki, I love everything you gave me!^-^

Look out for my package, I'll send it out this week!:)

♥

Random:

1. I'm going to post a tutorial soon, loooong overdue...T__T

2. School trip to Spain from 21.-29 July (no Internet ;__;).

Giveaway on Sunday!!!

2009-06-25T19:20:00.002+02:00

Hello lovelies!♥

This is the second post this week, yaaay me!;)

Everyone kept telling me, I should update more often...

School is killing me, I still have 3 exams to got, but after that I'm pretty much FREE!*__*

I can't wait to dig into blogging/travelling/sleeping/eating...;)

I took some pictures today (it was really sunny...) and they came out quite funny!

You see the pink bubbles?

They're not photoshopped.

(I wanna buy PS though, but too poor ;__;)

They've just appeared!o.o

It's magic!^.^♥

♥

Please ignore the clumpy mascara! I tried to layer the L'oreal Voluminous mascara...yeah major fail. It's great for volume, but I need length!!! Any recommendations?:)

My skin is really acting up with the change of weather and so does my hair...it's super dry. So no heat for a while.

I finally decided to try out circle lenses! I've seen so many people loving them and they look really pretty!^^

I'm not sure which brand, colour and style to choose yet...do you have any favorites?^-^

By the way shipping fee to Germany is INSANE! Sometimes living in Europe is really inconvinient...*sigh*

♥

Awww and a BIG thank you to all of you who voted for me in Eki's contest!^-^/))

I've got 2nd place and really didn't expect to place at all!

And of course mucho love to Eki, you're stunning, beauty!♥

♥

Stay tuned for my 130+ followers giveaway on Sunday!

It'll be reaaaally easy, I promise!;P

Tiny haul+being silly...

2009-06-23T17:27:00.002+02:00

Hello girls!♥

Finally a little update, I'm such a lazy bum, I know!;__;

I'm going to hold my 100+ subscriber giveaway on Sunday, it's so late...I should make it a 130+ giveaway!;)

I'm so sorry that all of you had to wait for so long!;__;

I had a bad stomach ache this morning, lying in bed all day!x(

♥

On to my tiny "haul"...

I'm just a poor little student, I don't buy a lot of make up, my money goes to books and food!xD

This is all I bought the last...2 months?

L'oreal Voluminous mascara carbon black:

I've seen raves on this mascara. I like how it makes my lashes look really pretty, but this mascara is the messiest mascara I've ever used! It goes everywhere, my face, my hair, my hands...even my clothes!*lol*

But once it's on my lashes, it almost doesn't smudge at all.^^

P2 Perfect Eyes Base:

I mainly bought this because It's Judy time bought this when she went to Germany and made a review on it. It's not really comparable to UDPP or TFSI (we don't have them in Germany ;__;), but it's better than nothing...I guess.=)

Fabiani Blush:

Sweet baby pink and light coral blush duo...I like it.^^

Essence Eyeshadow in Rockabilly/Smokey eyes (liquid eyeliner and eyeshadow duo):

Rockabilly is just a matt grey, great for smokey eyes!

The smokey eyes duo is my most recent buy...I'm not very fond of the exeshadow side, but the liquid liner is really good!♥ It stays on for ever!

♥

Do you watch Michelle Phan's youtube tutorials? I love her make up tutorials, she's so talented and pretty!♥

She always does this puffy cheeks face, I'm just being silly here!;P

See you soon!^-^

xoxo Ji♥

I decided to enter Eki's Cosplay Contest even though all the entries so far are pretty intimidating!+.+

Ladies you're all too pretty for this world!!!:)

Huge thank you to Eki for holding such a cute contest!♥

I used to go to a lot of Anime and Visual Kei Conventions (never really cosplayed a character though...I'm too poor for Cosplay;P) and I seriously got all nostalgic reminiscing the old times...

Of course my neighbours had to hold a BBQ with lots of people outside thus the strange pictures! I had to hide on my balcony making weird positions to take pictures!*lol*

♥

Sick of my face? Yeah me too...sorry for the picture overload!;__;

My brother said I look like I'm back to Kindergarten...lol

♥

And got this award again from the lovely Eru, thank you so much!^-^♥

100+nerdy glasses?

2009-06-04T02:38:00.003+02:00

It's been aaaaages since the last update, I'm so sorry guys!;__;

I'm still catching up with answering comments and stuff...

I basically fell ill the first day of my holidays, I should have known it, I always get sick on the first days of my holidays!~.~

We had guests over the weekend at home and I was lying in my bed with 39°C fever...

I even had to postpone my trip to my friend, but I'm glad that I didn't have to cancel it. My mom cured me in no time with 8 injections and a lot of Moxa therapies (she's an acupuncturist).♥

I'm leaving tomorrow visiting my friend in Duisburg and I'll be staying there till Sunday/Monday...

I hope that I'll find the time to make some Purikuras and do a little shopping for the upcoming giveaway, which leads me to...

I've hit the 100 followers mark, thank you so much girls, it really means a lot to me!♥

I've met so many nice, beautiful and fun girls through blogger that share the same passions and interests like me!*-*♥

♥

Some ugly pictures of me wearing the NERDIEST glasses I've ever came across!xD

I usually don't wear glasses, my eyes are pretty good, but I love these huuuuge nerdy looking fake glasses!xD

The ones I'm wearing in the pictures belong to a classmate, I just stole them from him, cause I liked them so much! But...he wanted them back...;__;♥

Does anyone know where to get some fake glasses that don't look...cheap?^.^

♥

See you again next week!:)

xoxo Ji♥

Piercings...

2009-05-24T00:22:00.005+02:00

I totally neglected blogger for the last few weeks, I promise I'll post some more interesting stuff this weekend!

Forgive me?;__;♥

I still haven't figured out the whole Windows Movie Maker thing, I guess I'll have to play around with it a bit more...I still don't know how to fast forward and stuff...-.-***

Meanwhile I wanted to upload a make up picture tutorial, but it's really hard to focus/catch the colours of the make up with my crappy camera...I really need a new one.-3-

I kind of prefer a straight "winged" eyeliner to the usual flipped eyeliner. I really have a hard time finding an eyeliner that doesn't smudge!T_T

It's slowly becoming hot in Germany and I have to change some parts of my make up routine!~.~ BUT my skin is as dry as usual, I should just put a whole load of cream every two hours on my face!;(

Someone asked me to show all the piercings on my ears! The pictures came out a bit blurry, I hope you can see them!:(

I have 7 piercings on my right and 6 piercings on my left ear. I don't wear all my earrings everyday though.

I got the tragus piercing on my right ear in Korea...I believe I was 16 at that time, but they didn't even ask me about my age.

The piercing lady was so funny, she just cut the end of a stud off and pierced my ear with her hands.

It wasn't painful at all...but isn't that kinda weird?~.~

I've pierced a few of the "holes" myself, but I wouldn't recommend piercing yourself if you don't have a high pain tolerance...

My mom hates it when I wear all my earrings!;P

I always lose the little studs...and it's so hard to find cute studs!;__;

Unfortunately I can only wear real silver and gold jewellery, cause I have an allergy against costume jewellery, which really sucks!-.-**

I did a little hauling the last few days, but more on that tomorrow!^-^

By the way, don't you just love reading comments?♥.♥

I can spend hours and hours on commenting and answering, in contrast to doing math homework!;)

xoxo Ji♥

Back and tagged...

2009-05-09T17:40:00.021+02:00

I'm back! I'm honestly really sorry for not posting anything for so long, life has been really stressful and school is a bi***, all the exams and assignments are killing me! (I'm so sleep deprived...)

I'm so behind on reading/answering comments, please forgive me!;__;

For the last week I couldn't go outside to take pictures, because some "highly talented" director is shooting a movie right in the street where I live. They are making a movie about teenage drug addicts in the seventies (seems like they even renovated an old house to make it look even more '70-ish)...

I don't know any of the actors or actresses, but one of the actresses seems to be kind of famous? Our neighbour was so excited...

The whole thing is pretty annoying, because of all the vans and the equpiment, we have to park at the back of beyond!-.- And all the staff members are standing right in front of our house, I can't even change in my room, cause all my windows are facing towards the street!;__;

The name of the movie is Bis aufs Blut, it means something like "till the very end". At least they're finished on Monday I believe...?

♥

I guess I look pretty weird on the pictures, I tried to take a picture without all the ugly filming equpiment in the background...

It was quite humid today therefore excuse the ugly hair, face and our neighbour's garbage bin, please!;)

My first swap arrived a few days back and I intended to wait with opening it till Aileen would get my package, but she told me to unclose it and I finally gave in! I was so excited!*-*

I was actually asking for the cupcake handychain and a handmande necklace from her jewelry shop, but she included a bunch of other stuff as well!♥

Thank you so much for all the goodies, I really love everything that you've sent to me! The chewing gum (apple taste, so yummy!) was really good, I didn't even know that they make chewing gum with licorice taste...unfortunately I don't eat licorice, but my friends really loved it!♥

I hope my package will arrive soon, I'm so worried that it takes so long!;__;

Finally I got tagged by three beautiful and lovely ladies!♥

Thank you so much Miu Miu, Aileen, Cris and Sofie!^-^

The rules are:

1. Take the award here.

2. Put the logo on your post.

3. Link the person who awarded you.

4. Nominate at least seven other bloggers.

5. Add the link of those bloggers on yours.

6. Leave a message for your nominees.

As always I'm skipping the nominating part, you know why, right?:)

I'm still working on a hair tutorial (Does anyone know how to use windows movie maker? Seems like I'm too stupid for it...) and a little give away, look out for that!♥

xoxo Ji♥

Miyavi concert=smile!!!

2009-04-26T20:37:00.011+02:00

I was so excited when I heard that Miyavi would come back to Germany for his second world tour!♥

I'm definetly going to his concert in Cologne or Munich. Both cities are pretty far away from where I live, but it's so worth it!*-*

Have to buy tickets soon...it's sad that no one of my friends likes Miyavi, so I guess I have to go alone to his concert, but I can live with that!:)

Ahhh I want to see him live...now!♥

And for all of you who wanted me to smile...

Tada!~ I was so happy and excited about the news that I smiled almost the whole day and even made a quick GIF!♥

I'm sorry about the bad lighting though, it was 10 minutes before I headed out to my friend's Birthday Party (theme: cocktailparty... lol) thus it was already dark outside!;__;

Girls you have to watch Antique Bakery!!! I laughed my butt off, it was super funny! I didn't expect to like it that much, but I loved the way the movie was made, so funny and special! I wasn't too fond of the story but the director really made me laugh with his cuts and stuff!^-^

Antique Bakery is actually an adaption of the same-named manga, which I haven't read.

I have the feeling yesterday was a pretty good day, but I dreamed that I chopped off the arms of a classmate (that I actually don't know too well and always thought I like...) and made a piece of art of her in my German test...I guess that means I'll have to face some difficulties in near future. SomehowI really have a bad feeling...

I'm so sorry!;__;

I got a few comments regarding the fact that I never smile on pictures. *laugh* That's mostly because I feel retarded when I'm smiling at myself/camera. xD

I´ll just let my brother take some pictures next time, he turned 16 last Monday!^-^

Phew... Saturday is the next Birthday Party...I really want to know why so many people are born in April! ö.ö? I have no money left, had to buy a lot of presents. ^-^

xoxo Ji♥

Haircut and movies...

2009-04-17T02:13:00.003+02:00

I'm tired. It's like a vicious circle, staying awake until I pass out due to insomnia and then sleep for 10 hours straight. Booo~

I just watched 쌍화점 or A Frozen Flower, a movie which the lovely Wendy posted about a few days ago!♥

I have to say that I liked The King And The Clown better, just because the story has (at least for me) a happy ending.

I cried so much while watching The King And The Clown...both movies are beautiful, but I was so mad at the main character in A Frozen Flower...you'll know why when you watch the movie! Poor king...

What's your favorite movie?^-^

I really want to see Slumdog Millionaire...maybe next Friday?♥

I cut my bangs today, they kinda got too long...I usually let my mum cut my hair, European coiffeurs can't cut Asian hair. At least I haven't met an Asian girl who was pleased with the cut she got in Germany, even though they cut Caucasian her so well!;__;

I had a bad hair day, just ignore my strange hair...or better the whole face!xD

A random note:

Thank you so much for all the nice and consoling comments on my last post!♥

I'm an adult and really shouldn't lament about stuff like that anymore and just move out!*laugh*

Nevertheless a big THANK YOU to you girls!♥

xoxo Ji♥

Some family issues...

2009-04-15T03:21:00.010+02:00

Back from birthday parties, clubbing & shopping!♥

My body aches, I feel like I'm a 60 year old grandma!xD

I´ve actually hurt my hand, it' s swollen and hurts, I don't really know why...?

I'm currently switching day and night, as usual I don't sleep more than 5 hours a day.

I can't stand the atmosphere in my family...

My parents have issues...probably since the very first day they married. I won't whine about that anymore, I'm through the illusion of a happy family and I can live with the fact that the relationship of my parents is more or less fake.

But I can't live with a choleric father, with the dishonesty of my parents, the attempts to force us children to respect a dishonorable behaviour, like in a bad family drama...it's ridiculous.

I've cried enough and my soulmate is right. I have to be strong for my little brothers. I don't know how much the youngest understands though. I hope not much.

I guess I'm trying to avoid the whole mess by going clubbing (yes, in Germany I'm already of age, I can drink alcohol, smoke, etc...), spending the night by friends and what not (but that's not the only reason, I like to go out...sometimes^^), thus the lack of blogging!;___;

Which leads to a more delightful topic, I have over 50 followers now!♥

Yaaay!^-^/))

I'm really happy that so many beautiful and nice blogger ladies are reading my utterly boring blog.xD

Thank you, thank you so much lovelies!♥♥♥

I'm also thinking about having a give away, so look out for it!:D

I bought a pair of white butterfly earrings last summer and lost one of it right away! (Stupid me!;_;) I was thinking about making a necklace with the remaining one, but I don't know how... I actually think the earring looks more like a crossbreed between a butterlfy and a bee!xD

By the way I don´t wear circle lenses on these pictures, I don´t even own circle lenses. I just haven't slept for 26 hours and the flash does the rest!;)

Please excuse my 26 hours hair and my ugly tired face!;__;

P.S. You can add me on msn/icq/skype/myspace/facebook, just write me an email!♥

Haul+awards...

2009-04-10T22:23:00.009+02:00

I´m home again, back from my friend´s Birthday Party... I think crowds of people are exhausting...

Ah and I saw some really cute squirrels around my friend´s house this morning! There were about 4-5 squirrels (even a baby one^^) which were diligently collecting hazels and they weren´t even afraid of humans!♥

The next Birthday Party is already on Sunday...why are almost all of my friends born in April?

♥

My little haul from Rossmann:

I discovered a German make up brand named Rival de Loop Berlin. I´ve never heard of it before. I really like the formula of the nailpolishes, but the brushes really suck! The brush is too flimsy to apply the nail polish without streaks! I also bought some pretty lipglosses as gifts...^^

♥

On to my "huge haul". I guess it isn´t huge for other people, but I usually don´t buy a lot of stuff so for me it´s huge!;)

Actually a large part of the make up is for my mom (she doesn´t use a lot of make up, but her skincare routine is enormous!) and I intend to give some of the other stuff to my friends!^-^

♥

First I went shopping with my Mom, cause we both really needed sunglasses (it´s slowly becoming hot ;_;) and she wanted to buy some other stuff as well.

I personally really like huge aviator sunglasses. I normally can´t find ones that are huge enough for my taste, but I had luck and even found two pairs!♥

I also bought some clothes, but I didn´t take any pictures of them yet.

I had to buy a book for school, The Sandman by E. T. A. Hoffmann. It´s pretty interesting...and strange!XD Haven´t read much of it yet though.

♥

From left to right:

Maybelline High Heel mascara

Catrice liquid eyeliner

Catrice pencil felt tip eyeliner

Catrice pencil eyeliner

Catrice single eyeshadows

Catrice quattro eyeshadow

Catrice loose powders

Revlon Colorstay liquid foundation

Revlon Colorstay pressed powder

My mom kind of liked the Revlon foundation I gave her (it was too dark for me) so she bought another one for travelling. The pressed powder and one of the loose powders are for me, the liquid eyeliners are presents and the rest belongs to my mom.♥

♥

I discovered that Maybelline´s Lash Stiletto has launched in Germany with another name...High Heel! I´m a bit confused, but I believe it´s the same mascara!:3

I´ve only tried it once, but I think it works really well! It has a rather wet formula, but dries really fast and lenghtens like crazy!♥

♥

By the way I´ve got an award from the lovely Cris!

Thank you so much girl!♥

Rules: List 7 things or people you are passionate about. List the person that gave you the award. Put the award logo. List 7 other bloggers you feel are worthy of this award.

1. I love sweets. Chocolate, gummi bears, cookies, candy, ice cream...almost everything with sugar.♥

2. I love books. Classic literature, young adult, non fiction, children´s books...I spend 99% of my money on books!:3

3. I love winter. I like it cold and icy! I don´t like it when it´s windy,rainy and cold at the same time though...

4. I love to sleep. I could sleep 24/7!;)

5. I love art and photography. Wished I could afford a really awesome camera!*sigh*

6. I love music. I play the piano and the organ, but I really like to listen to music as well!♥

7. I love movies. I like movies that make me cry or scare the hell out of me!;)

I´m sorry that my 7 things I´m passionate about are so similiar to my 10 random facts, but I´m really passionate about this stuff!^.^

(I skipped the nominating other bloggers part, I just can´t choose only 7 bloggers, there are too many I´d like to award!;_;)

♥

Guess what? I´ve got another award! Sexy Sher gave me the Sexy Blogger Award and seriously I don´t really know why, cause I´m so not sexy!;D

Nevertheless thanks a lot girl!♥

Rules: List 5 things that are sexy about yourself & pass it on to 5 awesome blogger friends.

1. I don´t think that anything about me is sexy. Maybe some sick pedophile will find it sexy that I´m a virgin, but other than that...nothing (TMI I´m sorry ~.~)!

2.-----

3.-----

4.-----

5.-----

Again skipping the nominating part, you know why!~.~

♥

You can see my arm reflected on the window...I had to take the pictures inside, because the pollinosis season has started for me!T__T

My nose is rough+red, my eyes are swollen+red...basically my whole face is red!

♥

xoxo Ji♥

Busy...

2009-04-09T13:22:00.004+02:00

Why am I so busy? I´m on spring BREAK!;______; Or at least I thought so...

Just a quick post before I head out ( my friend´s 19. Birthday!♥)...

Haul post tomorrow after I come back!^-^

xoxo Ji♥

Cake+Dad+Brother...

2009-04-06T19:11:00.010+02:00

Saturday was my Dad´s birthday!^-^ I made an egg liquor cake (yummy♥). Even though I can´t cook, I can bake decent cakes!^.~

I added chocolate icing, a real sugar bomb!:P

My Dad hates birthdays as much as I do...I don´t even want to eat cake on my birthdays, I can´t see the point in celebrating a day on which you become one year older! My mom always said that I have the Peter Pan Syndrom (of course she was only joking!;D), but I guess she´s right that I don´t want to grow up at all...

Today was a pretty sunny day again, perfect weather to laze around.^-^

My brother and me went shopping together to buy a present for my Dad, but I discovered a new German make up brand and ended up making my brother listen to all my worries, thoughts, likes and dislikes of certain products of this brand!*laugh* He´s such a cute macho, always trying to act cool, but can´t really say no to me (at least most of the time!;D). I let him carry around my make up and he was so embarassed!^///^

I´ll upload my little haul on wednesday together with my big shopping tour with my mom.:)

I played a little with Haduri, a korean program to make gif/jpg pictures I guess? I haven´t figured everything out yet, it´s diffifult cause my Korean isn´t all that great!*drop*

Blogger is such a DIVA I had to open a photobucket account to upload a gif picture!-.-

xoxo Ji♥

Little haul...

2009-04-04T00:51:00.010+02:00

I did a little haul yesterday!:) I was actually looking for some working appropriate shoes (forgot to take pictures of them ;_;) and ended up buying some random stuff again...-.-

L to R:

P2 lipstick

Blistex lipbalm (wanted to try out a new one)

essence refreshing spray (sm

ells good and makes my skin glow!^^)

essence nail & hand care serum (normal hand cream but smells like mangos♥)

catrice lipstick

My mom asked me to buy some pink lipsticks for her. I bought one from catrice for her and a light pink one from P2 for me, but she snatched both of them away before I could do any swatches!*laugh*

This one is a creamy lipstick without any glitters or sheen. I´m not too fond of German packaging, it looks bulky and not cute at all...

This one looks pretty dark, but it comes of really sheer and has fine shimmer in it! It looked really pretty on my mom!^-^

I normally take pictures outside (I have a balcony connected with my room...), but today was really difficult, cause the weather suddenly got all warm and nice and our neighbours stayed outside the whole day!-.- I mean I don´t want to be seen when I take pictures of myself, right?

I felt tired (because I´ve slept too long ;P) and my stomach felt sick (because I ate too much like a pig...). The result: I look like a lazy bum. -__-

I´m going to do my first swap with Aileen from Amore Vintage, she´s such a sweetie and you should check out her jewelry, her stuff is amazing!!! I especially like her Rolled Raspberry Cake cell phone charm!^-^

By the way I´m going to save up some money BECAUSE I want the new Nintendo DSi, my brother has the Nintendo DS lite and I always snatch it aways from him!;) It´s a bit expensive here in Germany though. -.- Has anyone already tried the Nintendo DSi or heard anything about it?:D

xoxo Ji♥

First day+outward curls...

2009-04-01T23:26:00.003+02:00

"I will be here" from Steven Curtis Chapman covered by Passion, omg this boy has an amazing voice~~~♥ I´ve been listening to this song for hours...

I´m back from the first day of my new job and I´m still alive! I had to carry around some drinks (the tablet was really heavy...) and I´ve worn trousers , but I had to put on some kind of apron, so that it looked like I wore a really loooong skirt.;) The catering service I work for is kind of high class, we had to serve some politicians and mainly wealthy people...

I get 8 euro per hour (that´s a bit more than 10 dollars), which is really nice. Ah and not to forget, normally we have 2 euro subtracted from our salary but in return we can eat all the food and snacks which are remaining. *yumm*

I´ve met a lot of nice girls ate the biggest king prawns I´ve ever seen and earned 30 euro in 4 hours. Successful day?

Hm maybe if I didn´t mess up my exam...-.-

Now I´m pretty tired, but still have to do some work for school. Two more days and I´ll finally have spring break!!!

I curled my hair out outwards (took this picture 2 days ago), it looks so different from curling it inwards...

xoxo Ji♥

Job+neutral eyeshadows...

2009-03-29T22:58:00.006+02:00

I´ve been all hyper today, because I´m going to start working for an 4 ☆ catering service on wednesday!^^

I wanted to earn my own money for the longest time, but I couldn´t take a job that is physically exhausting, cause I still have to learn/go to school...I guess working in a catering service is tough too, but I think it´s a job that suits me.:) They basically call you when an event is coming up and ask you if you have time.

The only badside about this job is...I have to wear trousers. I NEVER wear trousers, I´m a 100% skirt/dress girl. I guess I have to go through this and...urgs...wear trousers.

Now I have to come up with some formal hairstyles and make ups. I´m too nervous to think straight, I bet stupid me will drop the tablet/tableware/food and cause a huge mess. (Ahhhhh!!!!!!)

I just bought a couple of neutral eyeshadows. They´re going to be discontinued, so they were really cheap (actually they were really cheap to begin with). I like the rose colour, they´re all quite shimmery, but the glitters are not too chunky.♥

I fished out my old jeans jacket, it´s a bit too big for me...and it´s a men jacket!*laugh* I bought it together with my mom, but I just recently noticed that the buttons are reversed. ^.^´

Can you see the brown strands of hair? I naturally have brown highlights which sometimes annoy me, sometimes not. When my family and I went to a hair salon in Korea, the hairdresser actually asked me if I wanted to dye my hair black. I was like wtf?, seriously I alsways thought I have black hair!XD What she actually meant was that a lot of young korean girls like to dye their hair deep black, but in a natural way. I wonder what it´d look like, I shoud´ve tried it!-.-

xoxo Ji♥

First crush and some really old pics....

2009-03-28T16:56:00.013+01:00

This picture was taken after the Miyavi concert in Bonn (Germany). I look like some freaking kid, my friend and I exchanged coats, it was freezing cold! I kind of remember that I was supposed to visit my friend and we went to the concert without permission...

I´m kind of nostalgic today, because I just read about the "marriage between Miyavi and Melody". I´m still somehow in shock. I´m really too old for this kind of crap (ahhhhhh...)!

I´ve searched for some old pictures of me, but I´ve only found some pictures from my Korea trip. Maybe I´ll upload some of them later.

I had to ask my Dad where my pictures went, cause I just got a new laptop a few months ago. Anyway this is how I looked like when I was about hm..14-15? I dyed my front hair purple, blue, red, pink, blond...basically all the colours you could imagine.

On one new years eve I went completely blond (it looked aweful, I guess my friends and I were really drunk...), but after that I made the mistake to dye it BLACK, it looked like I was wearing a wig!*laugh*

I think that´s a picture of the black dyed hair...my hair looks really short.:) My soulmate hated it, my mom hated it...I liked it? Don´t know, I think I can live with both, long and short hair.^^

xoxo Ji♥

Award...

2009-03-26T20:07:00.016+01:00

My cute little bears...just wanted to show them off, they were sitting on my desk, all adorable and pretty. I love them, my mother gave them to me as an early christmas present some years ago. Manfred and Sieglinde...just kidding, they don´t have names yet. Any ideas?:)

I got tagged/awarded by the beautiful Yas and was totally amazed, cause I´m a pretty new blogger and it´s my first award!!!

Thank you so much sweetie!♥

♥♥♥

This award is bestowed upon a fellow blogger whose blog’s content or design is, in the giver’s opinion, brilliant.“When accepting this auspicious award, you must write a post bragging about it, including the name of the misguided soul who thinks you deserve such acclaim, and link back to the said person so everyone knows she/he is real. Choose a minimum of seven (7) blogs that you find brilliant in content or design. Or improvise by including bloggers who have no idea who you are because you don’t have seven friends. Show the seven random victims’ names and links and leave a harassing comment informing them that they were prized with Honest Weblog. Well, there’s no prize, but they can keep the nifty icon. List at least ten (10) honest things about yourself. Then pass it on!”

♥♥♥

I´ve actually done something similiar to the 10 honest things about myself in a previous post, so I had to think quite hard about what to write for this award!*sob*

1. I love to eat. I become easily aggressive when I´m hungry. :(

2. I have a mole near my ear. When I was around 15 I hated it to the point that I wanted to extirpate it, but now I think it´s cute!*laugh*

3. I´m a really messy person, I don´t like my room to be all neat. I need my chaos!:D

4. My first language was actually Korean, but unfortunately I can´t speak it fluent anymore.

My English is quite bad, so if anyone finds mistakes or typos just tell me in the comments!

By the way my only fluent language is German!^.^ I´m learning Spanish in school as well, but I don´t really like the sound of this language!

5. I love make up, but it´s not my biggest obsession! As you may know I´m a heavy book, movie, art, fashion and music addict as well!:)

6. I´m still going to school (it´s called Gymnasium in Germany) and I´ll finish it in 2010. My majors are English and German.

7. I have 13 piercings and only 7 were made by a piercer. I pierced the other 6 myself. I know it is not safe and so on, but hey I was young and poor. :P (Please don´t do the same, I had professional tools etc!)

8. I always wanted to be a pianist, but now I know that being a pianist means living in poverty unless your name is Yiruma, George Winston or Lang Lang.;) Don´t you think it´s weird that there are almost no famous female pianists?

9. I can shape my eyelids. Yeah I know it´s strange, but I can make them bigger or smaller in the morning, just whatever I feel like. When I was around 8 or 9 I had one double lid and one mono lid, I did not care about it back then, but suddenly one day I had two double lids. I don´t know maybe I just gained fat and my eye just had to fold to a double lid?:)

10. I kind of liked Visual Kei around my early teens. I had a major crush on Miyavi (I actually still have!^.^´) and even went to his first concert in Germany! Germany has quite a big japanese/gothic lolita/visual kei scene, but I think I´m just too old for this now!^^ Maybe I´m going to post some pictures of how I looked back then...

Whhhooooaaaaa, that took quite a bit of time...I guess most of the blogs that I read were already tagged...so I´m tagging all the blogger beauties out there that haven´t done this tag yet!

I came back from school at 6pm today and it was already too dark to take good pictures again. Still I tried and I look terribly tired again, all sweaty from PE. I don´t think you can see it, but it was raining...-.-

I want it to stop!!! (At least it didn´t snow like yesterday...)

xoxo Ji♥

Disney+winter blues...

2009-03-24T22:58:00.010+01:00

My adorable blotting-sheetpaper case!♥

It´s Disney themed and actually has this little Minnie Mouse mirror in it!

I´m not too keen about animal prints, but it´s okay for

this!^-^

Do you know the problem of not wanting to use cute things, cause they might get lost or damaged? Since I was little I just couldn´t bring up myself to use things I liked, was it clothes, accessories or toys. It´s a pitty, cause I can´t wear the dresses I liked so much back then anymore!:(

Can you believe it was sleeting today???

I was standing dumbfounded on the schoolyard learning last minute for my spanish class and suddenly it poured down...

As I mentioned before I personally really love winter, but we already have march, almost april.

It´s time for spring!T__T

I kind of managed to get the last sunlight to take a picture of my tired face, but it washed the colours out. (I don´t like to take pictures with flash.)

I really wanted you to show that babypink lipgloss with the blue eyeshadow, but the whole picture looks kind of blue!T_T

Excuse the weird hair, I was just too tired to fix it (as always...).

xoxo Ji♥

Webcam+books...

2009-03-21T23:16:00.008+01:00

I ♥ my bed!

I do almost everything in bed, homework, eating, reading, watching movies (♥my laptop) and of course sleeping. It´s my hobby, seriously I like sleeping even more than eating.

I think that´s because I can only sleep as long as I want on the weekends. I´m sleep-deprived.

I played around with my webcam...the quality is really poor.

I´m lying in my bed, so comfy!:D

You can actually see my little bookshelf in the background,

these are obviously only the books I´m reading at the moment.

♥♥♥

Oscar Wilde: The picture of Dorian Gray (Reading it for the third time, first time in English. One of my favorite books.)

Haruki Murakami: Kafka on the shore (In German.)

Stephenie Meyer: Twilight series (In English again, they´re fun to read, but I don´t like the style of writing. I think it´s the story itself (and a friend of mine) which made read this series.

Seriously did you watch the movie? Did you see who played Edward? Can you understand why this actor is considered one of the hottest guys ever? All in all I just hated the movie, eventhough the books are decent.

Emily Bronte: Wuthering Heights (Just started this book!^^)

Jane Austen: Pride and Prejudice (Probably one of my favorite books ever. I´m kind of reading it for the 12th time...pure love! My favorite character has to be Elizabeth´s father, I love his sense of humor and his sarcastic comments!!! I didn´t like him in the movie though. Actually I didn´t like anything about the movie...)

♥♥♥

There are a few other books that I´m reading right now as well (e.g. Goethe´s Faust for school), but it´d take too long to list them all.

As you probably can see I´m into classic!:)

What books do you like to read?

Any recommendations?♥

EOTD+sick...

2009-03-21T02:53:00.026+01:00

I think I ate something weird/bad today, my stomach feels really funny...kind of queasy.

Despite that I had a great day today.:)

I went to a friend and talked about everything and anything!

My throat feels dry now though!:D

My first EOTD:

It´s fairly simple, but my blending skills suck!:(

Some blues and purples mixed together!

I used loose pigments (messy!) and some pink highlighter.

Don´t you think that grey circle lenses would really go well with this look?^^

Please excuse the tiny hair strands before my eyes,

they just popped out of nowhere!-.-

I bought some of these hair roller thingies the other day...

I normally just pin my hair back with some bobby pins, but that always left a visible mark in my hair.

These rollers hold and style my bangs at the same time!

(Perfect for a lazy person like me!:P)

I also bought a new conditioner, but I´m not too sure if I like it or not yet.

This my hair without any straightening or curling.

Just normal blow drying and my new hair rollers for the bangs!♥

Random note:

Thank you so much for all your sweet comments lovelies!

I love to read them and I try to answer every comment,

so don´t forget to leave your blogger ID or email, if your blogger is private).;)

That´s it for today!

xoxo Ji♥

Scribbles...

2009-03-19T20:15:00.010+01:00

Coming home late again,

but today way quite a sunny day!^^

Excuse my messy hair, just too tired to fix it up!*sob*

I´m still searching for a perfect mascara, I have the tiniest lashes ever!!!

Look what I found!

Some scribble, really old (will post some more up to date paintings later!)...it´s pretty bad!*laugh*

I kind of want to upload some piano videos, but haven´t had the time to figure this whole windows movie maker thing out! I know I´m such a technology dork...

My skin is acting up to the cold weather! It´s terribly dry... (I have to use tons and tons of cream).

Does anyone know a good cream for very dry skin?

Hair tutorial + 10 random facts + clubbing...

2009-03-15T15:08:00.014+01:00

I wanted to make a hair tutorial for Wendy.

I tried to take pictures of every step, but they looked alle the same, because it´s a pretty simple hair style. :(

I´ll make a hair curling tutorial soon, I´ll force my brother to take pictures of me this time!;)

I hope you like it!:D

Step 1: Make a simple side pony tale, you can vary the height.

Step 2: Tease the hair of your side ponytale.

Step3: Spray some hairspray to fix your hair.

Step4: Fix your bangs.

Step 5 (optional): You can curl some hair to frame your face.

I left this step out, cause I´m going to shower after this post!^^

CLUBBING!!!

I was so tired after this night, I had some serious stilettos on...wrong wrong wrong, I really never learn!-.- I haven´t slept more than 3 hours the last 4 days (too many essays and exams going on), haven´t eaten that day either and on top of that some tequilas and gin tonics... It was a really funny night!^^

The taxi driver, who drove us home, was from Texas, she was a real sweetie! She told us about her 4 children (all girls) and her dead husband.

Make up?

2009-03-08T18:32:00.004+01:00

As promised a beauty related post today!

(Next beauty post will be a hair tutoria for Wendy!♥)

I actually don´t own a lot of make up and I don´t spend a lot of money on it.

I do love make up, but I rather spend money on books, cinema tickets and food!;)

BUT I think make up is very versatile and while I only own a few items, I can do a lot of looks with it!

My Ruby Rose Palette...

Not all the colours are super pigmented, but I actually like that fact!

There are very unique colours as well, like highlights with a pink or yellow sheen!♥

I wanted to do a eye make up tutorial, but I ended up not understanding it myself!*sob*

Still have to figure out, how to do a tutorial...

I kind of used the palette to highlight my face, and mixed my own lip colour! It snowed again this weekend, but by the time I woke up it was already gone... I´m pretty upset about this, I love snow/winter!:)

My skintype is very dry (even my t-zone) and awfully sensitive. Moreover my skin is very thin, you can see my veins almost everywhere! It´s pretty funny, cause my brother has beautiful milky coffee brown skin and I have a quite fair complexion. Like black and white chocolate!:D

Has anyone seen "My sassy girl" ?

I love Jeon Ji Hyun, I think she is a real natural beauty. I love her long and healthy hair!

I always had reaaaaally long hair (I literally could sit on my hair), but after a bad hair job, I radically cut it off. I was 14 at that time...I even cut it shorter with 15/16 like in this picture. Taking the train to the biggest European book exhibition.

As you can see I loooooove books!!!!♥

Right now I´m in the middle of growing my really short hair out (cause my mother didn´t like it short), even though I personally really liked it.

But long hair is pretty as well!:)

apple pie!!!

2009-03-06T18:22:00.011+01:00

Today I tried to make a German apple pie!♥

It was a bit too sweet, but other than that, it tasted alright!:)

I wanted to take a picture of the whole thing, but my familiy already ate it!!!

So here is the last piece that is left...kind of looks lonely!:D

A huuuge thanks to all of you, who left me such nice comments!♥

I´m already feeling better now, I get through things like that pretty fast!;)

The only problem now:

I look creepy, cause I slept too much!!!

Lately I see a lot of Labello lovers going around blogger!

It´s a really old german brand ( I live in Germany), so if anyone wants to try it out/swap, just contact me!:)

I will try to do a real make up related post tomorrow!^^

xoxo Ji♥

Bad day...

2009-03-04T22:19:00.009+01:00

Only a small post today...

I had the worst day ever, I can´t even describe how sad I feel right now...

My best friend doesn´t speak with me anymore and I don´t have the slightest idea why!

My body hurts almost everywhere, I can´t sleep well anymore (does anyone know good relaxing music?), and to top that my chemistry teacher totally psyched me out in school today.

I hate to lament about trivial things...someone should stop me!:)

I really enjoy Blogger! I don´t know many girls here yet, but I hope that it will change soon. I really appreciate every comment and try to answer them all!

Every blogger girl seems to own at least one BB cream, I´ve never heard about BB creams before blogger, but now I really want to try out one.

Any suggestions?:)

(tired from school, hair messed up, bad mood...)

Sometimes I want to be ugly...

2009-03-03T00:06:00.013+01:00

It´s already past midnight and I still have an essay to do...school ended at 6pm and I just want to sleep right now!T__T

Did you notice? I have a Chatbox now, so chat me up!:D

I promise I won´t bite you...unlike my rabbit, poor thing, I just vented my anger on him!

I think everyone should have the courage to look ugly...Or in my case ugly and like a dork!XD

I still hate to take pictures at night, but when I come back from school it´s already dark outside!

A goodnight kiss for you!*heart*

Last fall...

2009-03-01T01:43:00.009+01:00

A picture from last fall... I love the colours of the background and of course my adorable bird box!^^

I look kind of weird though...

I wanted to make some more wild/funny pictures today, but I woke up so late, that the lighting of the pictures really sucked! I´m all fussy about picture lighting...

How do you make pictures work at night?

School starts again on monday and I still have to do a presentation & an essay...Oh Faust I really love you, but do you have to torture me through all my highschool years? T__T

P.S. I´m still trying to figure out the Chatbox...just wait, I will make it work...soon.

xoxo Ji♥

Blue eyes?

2009-02-27T18:17:00.008+01:00

Todays was a short and lazy day! I´ve slept in and did nothing but drink/eat some coffee and pizza.

I´ve heard about the whole circle lense craze...I really wanted to try them out, but I think they´re a bit too expensive for me. (plus I simply don´t own paypal, which seems to be the only way to purchase them)

Nevertheless I thought I would give some normal non prescreptive colored lense a try.

They cost about 10 Euro, which is really cheap...bad thing they only last for 3 months.

I think they look okay, but i should´ve bought brown ones instead of blue.

Less fun, but more natural!^^

Today was quite a sunny day ( yaay!^^), i slept till 3 pm (crazy I know), but I could sit in the sun for about 2 hours! ^-^

Did you know, that sun is not only bad for your skin? You actually need sunlight to produce Vitamin D, which helps to prevent cancer!

Asian girls normally have a fixation on having white skin.

I think both tanning & whitening are not that bad as long as you do it in moderation. (by the way I don´t do tanning nor whitening)

I´m still learning about blogger, It´s quite hard for an html loser like me.

I really want to have a Chatbox (and still my poupee picture) on my blog...

See you soon!:)

xoxo Ji♥

Poupeegirl...

2009-02-26T16:14:00.008+01:00

Does anyone know, how to put your poupeegirl into your blog?

I´m an HTML loser...I tried and failed. T__T

I really really love winter, but I wished the sky would be more blue than grey.

The older you get the more do you appreciate the nature.

Or at least I think so.

A messy sidebun for lazy days.^.^

Gossip girl contest!

2009-02-25T18:04:00.016+01:00

Hello!!!^.^

My name is Ji and I´m pretty new to blogspot.

I´m an 100% Korean girl with an 100% German brain!:D

My English really sucks, but I hope you can understand what I write about!

This is my entry for Mona´s Gossip Girl Contest!

Hopefully you like the look!^^

Inspiration: Blair Waldorf

I think it´s a cute, but sassy school look!;D

It was quite hard to recreate a Gosspi Girl look, because I haven´t watched a single episode of it!ö//ö

Anyway my attempt to copy this look:

I really like Blair´s outfit, it´s simple, but cute!:)

A white blouse combined with a ribbon and a mid length skirt!

Unfortunatly I don´t own a yellow headband, so I replaced it with a white one!

I curled my hair outwards and tried to keep the make up quite natural, except of the eyes, which are a bit smoked out.

That´s it for today!

xoxo Ji♥
