Hello! I’m sorry I haven’t had time to update my blog for a while. I’ve ben super super busy (as usual..) But part of it is because I’m going to Tokyo tomorrow! I’m so excited. It’s been almost two years since my last visit, and I can’t wait to go back. It almost feels like going home.

Here are some things I’m really looking forward to:

Random pictures found on the internet hehe ^^ most of the food pictures I found on this tumblr blog.

Since I’m now living on a student budget I probably won’t be doing as much shopping as I did the last time I was there. But I’m mostly looking forward to just exploring the city and eat lots of delicious food and go out. And I’m only going to be there for 10 days so I’ll probably just stay in Tokyo City area. But someday I want to travel to other places in Japan as well. Such as Kyoto, Osaka, Hakone, and so on. And I really want to visit an Onsen (温泉) someday *_*

Another reason why I’m super busy is because I’ve recently started taking a distance course in Japanese (at Högskolan Dalarna). It seems like a great course and our teacher seems great, but it’s so hard ;__; I haven’t been studying japanese for like 3 years so I’m really falling behind. But I’ll do my best and hopefully it will be okay. ^^ Anyway. Hopefully I get the chance to update my blog when I’m in Tokyo, but if not I’ll be sure to take lots of pictures anyway so I can write about it later. ^-^

 

Hello. Sorry for the lack of updates. I’ve been working on lots of design things lately. I’m also taking another course in Japanese this spring. It’s a more advanced course than I’ve taken before, but it was such a long time since I studied Japanese so I’m afraid I will have forgotten everything x_x

Hm I dunno’ just felt like doing a photo collage with some typography ^^;;

I’ve also been working on some new t-shirt designs. They will be for sale at our website. Unfortunately it’s not up yet, but we will probably be launching the new site very soon!

Sneakpeak on another design. oh them owls~

Oh and also, I’m going to Tokyo next week. Totally forgot to mention that. But I’ll probably make another update about that soon. If I have the time. But I’ll definitely write about my trip when I get back ^^

 

Time for a late night post. Just wanted to write about this BareMinerals foundation “starting kit” I got from my mom for Christmas.

I’ve never used mineral makeup before, because I’ve always looked for the cheapest things when I’ve been shopping for makeup. And let’s face it (haha, pun not intented! face… get it? … oh it’s too late for me to blog ^^;;), mineral makeup is really expensive. But mineral makeup is considered purer and can be kinder to the skin. And now that I’ve tried it, I don’t know if I can go back to my regular liquid foundation after this. My skin felt so much softer and not at all oily as it used to get sometimes from my liquid foundation. And when I washed it off in the evening my skin didn’t feel as damaged as it usually feels after a day of heavy makeup.

Although I’m a little disappointed in the concealer, because it didn’t cover my problem areas enough… but perhaps if I start to use this mineral makeup instead of my old foundation I might not have as many skin problems as before. ^^

I hope everyone is having a great start of the new year. I sure am! Me, my boyfriend and two of our friends (who’re also a couple ♥) decided to begin the new year at Yasuragi. (it was me and Johan’s Christmas gift to each other) Best thing ever! You might remember that I wrote a short review about my earlier trip to Yasuragi in 2010. And this time we had a just as wonderful stay as back then.

it’s hard to believe it’s January. in Sweden the temperature is usually way below 0°c by now, and lots of snow. but not this winter. strange!

We ate at a different restaurant this time, so the food was a bit different than the last time I was at Yasuragi. But still delicious!

Also, um.. I’m kind of into this “retro” editing of photos lately. I hope you don’t mind ^^;;

 

whoop whoop! happy new year everyone. I hope this year will be a good one. ^^

I didn’t get the chance to buy the jumpsuit that I wrote about earlier to wear for New Year’s. But I found this old dress in my closet. it was a bit outdated but I tweaked it a bit ^^ and added a belt. but oh it was so cold! x_x anyway.

★ Happy New Year! ★

 

Hello. So… the year is coming to an end. hm. I felt like writing something witty and clever here but I seem to have lost all my words. oh well, anyway. I’ll be posting some hair and outfit pictures instead~~ I’ve been into curling my hair a lot recently.

I’m also thinking about making a tutorial for this hairstyle. ^-^


Even though it’s winter it’s still hot enough outside to be showing some leg~
strange for being december in Sweden :o

Oh and I found this wonderful “jumpsuit” thingy at H&M yesterday! I could totally rock this outfit at New Years Eve. But since almost everyone’s out shopping during the middle sale season, and for New Year’s, of course my size was all sold out. Everywhere. I think I’ve searched almost every store in Stockholm. so I probably won’t be wearing it for New Year’s. ;_;

But I did find this cute cap at Åhléns. ^-^

it reminded me of one of the cap’s Okarie has. And as you may already know, I’m a big fan of hers. <3

Oh well that’s all for today. ^^;;
But I’ll try to get on with that tutorial soon. and I hope I’ll find something to wear for New Year’s Eve..

 

soo… Christmas is upon us! … was upon us. I hope everyone had a nice Christmas. I sure did ^-^ Though I’m terribly busy as always… but I still wanted to make time to write a blog post. But it won’t be a very long post I’m afraid. ^^;;

But anyway. Christmas!

I had a wonderful Christmas together with my family and relatives. Lots of laughter and delicious food and candy.

Also, I made a t-shirt graphic for my cousin. ^^

she loves candy, games, manga, dogs and lots of other “geeky” things. ^-^ I’m also planning on selling a similar design at TIFF in the future. But we are currently ongoing maintenance, so we don’t handle any orders at the moment.. But we are soon going to re-launch our website and it will be even more awesome than before!

メリー *<( ≧▽≦)/□☆□\(≧▽≦ )>* クリスマス!

Hello! It’s been a while since my last blog post… again. I’ve been busy with job hunting, been working on various design projects, preparing for Christmas, and so on. So I’ve completely forgot to tell you about my new hair cut I got last week at my favorite place: Toni&Guy. I haven’t had my hair cut for almost six months, so it felt necessary. I also decided it was time to update my lookbook once again!

For the haircut I was so pleased with my last haircut so I decided to stay with that style ^^

And some recent outfits~~

That was all I had for today. But I feel that it’s been an awfully long time since I did a tutorial of some kind… I’ll have to look into that soon!
