E R I K A

Me and my husband have been saving money for our baby so instead of buying new stuff for the house and some extra expensive stuff for baby.. we went shopping at Off House (Recycle Shop/Thrift Store) near our house and I actually got some pretty cool cheap stuff there~ except the Disney frame/photo album thing that I got from a different recycle shop which was crappy! I'm not going back there! And it only costs me ￥410 and Disney stuff are usually expensive! This picture frame/photo album looks expensive and kinda new because it was in a box and there were no dents and scratches so I think it's a good find! I thought of displaying it and putting tons of our family pictures there!

Then I got me a Christmas decor which was a vase with a fake poinsettia inside and a floating candle~ You put water inside the vase and it looks really fancy! I'm going to post a picture of my dining table next time with the vase as a center piece so you can see how fancy it looks for only ¥540! Cool huh? I think this retails for ¥1,000??? or more? But I got it for cheap which was really awesome!

I also got an ashtray.. I can definitely buy cheaper ones at 100 Shop (Everything costs ¥108 there) but I'd rather get this ashtray which costs ¥324 'coz it looks fancy compared to 100 Shop ashtrays which look really cheap and tacky?? But for this fancy looking ashtray I think it's a good find!

Last is the Combi Quick Warmer which only costs ¥540!!! And this baby retails for about ¥3,000-¥4,000 and it's practically brand new! It even has a manual with it and I got it for super CHEAP! Which makes me really happy! I feel so lucky!


I also got a crib there which costs ¥4,320 only! And cribs usually retails around ¥10,000-¥30,000 or more! But it's pretty used but I can clean it and make it look it pretty again! I'll post it next time since I haven't done cleaning and assembling it.. plus we haven't bought baby beddings~ which we're going to buy brand new because I don't want no bed bugs all over my baby's bed!

Once I'm finished with my baby's bed and everything! I'll post a picture and the dining room~ and Christmas decorations?!?! Ahh.. I feel so overwhelmed! But, glad at the same time because I can finally see my house getting together!

Did shopping all by myself today! (Yay! Am so poud of myself!) I was kinda lonely at first but it was okay! My arm kinda hurts 'coz I'm also carrying a heavy bag 'coz I just got home from my mom's house so my baggage is quite heavy and I went home by train! Urghh.. girls who have cars are so so sooo lucky! Well anyway, here are the things I bought! YES! ALL THESE THINGS! ALL JUST TO LOOK STYLISH AND PRETTY!!! Hehe ~

This is a Cecil McBee wallet and I've been wanting this for a long long time since I bought a bag that is Cecil McBee and I like to match my stuff with other stuff so yeah ~ ステキ！！！

Aren't these earrings nice? I told you I'm a sucker for things with key designs! Okay, so I bought this at my favorite accessory store in Omiya called, make star. All the accessories there are real cheap! But pretty! This only costed me about ￥315! When I can buy this at other shops for ￥690! Cool ne?! I also bought other stuff from there but I included it to the 'random things I bought' picture which am gonna show you later on..

I bought both of these nail polishes at Claire's and yeah.. I told you guys before that I hated PA polishes but this is the only crackle polish I can find and I wanted one so bad so yeah no choice! but, I tried it today and the results were pretty good so, I guess PA polishes are okay when it comes to crackle polishes but sucks when it comes to normal polishes.. yeah! That's right!

Went to Loft and lost all my money (lololol)!!! Just kidding, so I got this Missha sheet masks and am using the pomegranate right now (Just sayin'). I'm actually kinda new to sheet masks and thought of buying this instead 'coz my BB cream is Missha and it was really skin friendly for me, so I bought this! Yay!

Also bought this at Loft and this polish is from sweets sweets cosmetics and I love it so much! Not only that is cheap but the color is pretty too! I'll definitely buy other colors from them!

Omg this (I think) is the prettiest quad I've ever seen! So pretty that I was lured in buying it! It's the Butterfly Trick series from Marie Claire and it's absolutely gorgeous! See?! See!! I think this one's limited edition and only available in Fall season.. idk. Hmm..

This lipgloss is called Nude Plump no.019 from Rimmel and I recommend this to people who likes long lasting make up 'coz this lipgloss is like the 'shit' I mean, THE SHIT of all lipglosses! (I think?) I tested this lipgloss and it's super super gorgeous and then I tried to erase it but still, the color stays and am like wow! So I bought it and yay am broke! (lololol) Okay not really but I definitely recommend this to people who likes to wear lipglosses/lipsticks and doesn't like reapplying.

And these are all the random stuff I bought, clothes from Honeys, leggings and in that green plastic bag is a Bvlgari perfume I bought to give to someone I really like who doesn't like me back but I don't care 'coz it's his birthday tomorrow so I might aswell give him this as a gift since he likes Bvlgari and all and blah blah blah blah blah............

Okay so yeah! All done with the haul! Yay! Did you get bored?! Am sorry!!!

I was kinda reluctant to make haul posts at first 'coz I'm kinda worried that some of the people who're gonna read this might think I'm bragging or whatever.. but reading other blogs and seeing them post their 'stuff' actually kinda made me think that they post those 'stuff' so if we (readers) like it, we can also buy it! Ne? So yeah.. if you guys liked some of the things I bought! Go ahead and buy it too! Hehehehehe ~

Been at ＯＭＩＹＡ for 2 straight days like whoah! I will never go there again! Well okay I'll still go there but not too soon! I had fun though! Yesterday, me, Rolane and Sofia went to go see a movie at Shintoshin. We watched Harry Potter again 'coz Rolane hasn't seen it yet and we mistakenly bought 3 tickets for a Japanese Version sooo yeah, 'coz it's in Japanese and since I can't understand it that much I kinda fell asleep and then woke up when Rolane said she has to go to the bathroom.

We had a mini photoshoot too! Rolane haven't uploaded the pics yet so once she uploads it I'll just put it right below ~ For now, here are some of our purikura pics we took at Omiya!


We went to Omiya to shop a little, wander around for a while and then went to Karaoke to sing for 3 hours ~ I got me some accessories from baby shoope and this is what I liked the most!

My friend Kim from the Philippines also bought feathered earrings (I think feathered earrings are kinda 'in' or popular in the Philippines these days) I never thought that feathered earrings are also 'in' here too! So I bought one.. and I bought a peacock design 'coz I thought of it kinda unique and its' design is not that easy to find. This was the last pair btw.

Okay, so today.. oh wait! *checks time* it's 12:10am! Okay so 'yesterday' me and my dad's friend, tita Emma shopped 'til we -have no money left- in Omiya! First we bought matching Jeanne Arthes perfumes in Love Never Dies and it smelled really nice and oh my gosh! The packaging is sooo gorgeous! It even comes with this cute little chain! So cute!


And then we went to a Cecil McBee stall at LUMINE. I was going to just buy me a new wallet but they have no good designs yet so I bought me a bag instead and it's so cute!


And I also bought this necklace! And I really really adore this necklace that I will cry if I didn't get to buy it (Luckily I did.) I am a sucker for keys, locks and crown designs and this was the whole package. But what would be really cool is that if it had a bow then it'll be everything to me!


So yeah we went home afterwards.. well, I stayed at tita Emma's place for a while 'coz I forgot my keys and dad's not home with my bro yet. Then she gave me this pika pika wallet that is also Cecil McBee to match my bag 'coz I have no Cecil McBee wallet yet and Oh my.. it's so pretty and sparkly!

I changed my wallet immediately and started using this. And Idk if this is true you guys but tita Emma says that it is best to have a wallet that sparkles or shines 'coz that will kinda 'lure' the money in your wallet. So okay basically it's like this. WALLET + SPARKLES = UNLIMITED CASH (Hmm.. not bad) I like shiny and sparkly stuff and hey! Would it hurt to believe?!

And ooh.. after that I went home 'coz dad and Ryouta were already home too and look! Dad bought me a Tripod. Aww so nice! I didn't even ask him to buy me this and he doesn't even know I do videos on youtube (Oh yeah, this is my channel btw, hihi ~ Toffinshan) but this will be really helpful!


Okay you guys! So that's about it ~ maaan work tomorrow! But am so tired I don't wanna go to work. Urghh whatever.. thanks for reading you guys!

It's been like ages since I've blogged and I missed it so much! I miss you guys and I miss showing you guys stuff that you appreciate! Hihi.. I've actually been busy (..and when I say busy, I meant busy laying around the house and watching anime all day, I'm actually watching Toradora by the way just to let y'know.) with work and this week was pretty tough 'coz I have work for 7 days straight.. with no breaks not until 28 so yeah.. pretty tiring!

Okay, so.. this blog is to show you guys some stuff I bought from Amazon! I decided to buy some stuff there 'coz sometimes you'd get stuff that are cheaper than the ones in stores. (Cheap 'ol me!)

Okay so, here are the things I got!

1. Swatch watch (present for my mom! Her birthday is on the 30th)
2. Bel Air watch (present for my grandma which I don't remember what day it was)
3. Divabbracci bag that I just bought 'coz I thought it was cute.. for me though.
4. A wig.. which I used for our family picture lololol. (And 'coz it was really cheap)
5. A Kitson bag! That is not sparkly and looks like a grocery bag!

And here's how they look in real life! In order now..




( Yes you guys, this is the wig! Aren't I pretty?! LOLOLOL. )


So yeah that's about it and it came with these boxes and two little packages.

( Oh and yeah I also bought a new keyboard 'coz I spilled coffee all over my old one but I don't need to post a pic of it don't I?!)

It was actually delivered seperately and it took about a week for everything to arrive but other than that.. really fast aaand excelent delivery! All items are in good condition! I'm really happy!

This is a continuation of my previous blog entry 'Spring Shopping ~' <- *le click*! ( Apologies for being such a lazy ass.. I'm just super busy and super sleepy that I am too tired to think and edit pictures! But today, I had a nice and long nap so, yeah ~ がんばりますよ！ )

Okay, now for the stuffs I bought from ドン・キホテ and my thoughts/reviews about it!

First up, is this Hello Kitty body/face scrubber! I've seen this (not this actually, only similar to this type of scrubber) used by make-up gurus on youtube like, bebexo, bubzbeauty and beautyqq and figured that I must have this 'coz I don't have like a face scrubbing item so I bought it! And yes, I do not regret on buying this 'coz it is great! It's brizzles are soft so, it's gentle for the face, and after scrubbing your face with it, your face will feel super clean and it'll soften your face! (Atleast, that's what I think, I dunno 'bout the others but I think you guys must have this! It's not expensive anyways!)

Next up is this hemp air freshener and it can be used for cars or whatever.. I used it in my room and I got the scent from Ana Sui perfume? I think.. and it smells really nice, my room smells like lavender and I love it! I've been wanting this hemp air freshener for so long but I haven't seen this in any other shop but at
ドン・キホテ only! So yeah, I now finally have it and it scent lasts for so long so, it's a great deal.

And now THIS! I love this stuff.. it's an eyebrow concealer from Diamond Beauty which is also the makers of Diamond lash btw, my favorite lashes. Okay, so this stuff is awesome! You know I colored my hair blonde and since I also bleached my eyebrows, I had to buy this 'coz my eyebrows are growing and I needed something to cover the black hairs so yes, this is the product that I'm using right now, and I love it! It lasts for so long and it covers the black hairs quite nicely!

The reason why I bought Diamond Beauty eyebrow concealer! HAHA! I'm so easy when it comes to good advertisements!

Okay so this one's pretty random and not beauty or decoration related! This is a chocolate flavored liquor and Sofia says that this stuff is delish, so I had to get it 'coz I wanted to taste it.. turns out I didn't like it! I dunno, it's just too sweet for me. I should've bought sparkling wine or something else! But, it's okay.. now I know that I won't be buying this shit anymore! HEHE

Me outside the mall.. I didn't realize that I was this fair.. I usually would just take pictures in my room and yeah, lighting sucks in my room! This light is natural light and is from the actual sun! LOLOLOL

Wearing the boots I bought.

Cute huh? It's a takoyaki stall and it's been a while since I've eaten takoyaki, I MISSED TAKOYAKI SO MUCH!

いただいきむあす!!!
lololol I ate it while it's super hot, so I burned my tastes buds. fuuuuu ~

My mom.. we were waiting for the taxi and yeah.. it took about just 5 minutes! いいね？




OKAY! So that's about it.. I guess I'll be posting another one tomorrow! And it's fashion related ~ so I'm quite excited.
