Life:Current Loves and dislikes

Update: my how the time does fly !!

Since my last 'current loves' post,  I got sick, boo dry winters and working with children!! Forever sick in winter!

I went home for xmas, that was a much needed (but too short) trip. I hadn't been home for nearly 2 years.

and finally I got engaged :D. It was a surprise and not a surprise. K and I had talked about it a lot but he still managed to surprise me :D.

Current loves

Comfy chunky knits



Skincare~specifically Balance me, Ren, Indeed labs skincare. 

Recent discoveries but I'm loving using them. They've really helped my skin.

Blackmilk leggings~ I love Blackmilks leggings, some people balk at how expensive they are but they are so worth it in my opinion.
Amazing quality printing and nylon.

the consistent winter weather in Japan. Sure it cold but every day the sky is blue and the sun is shining.

Nuxe Reve de Miel lip balm~ this stuff is amazing!!! I bought it largely because of the hype tbh but I'm so glad that I did. It's the only thing that saves my lips from being completely ruined.
And I have a lot of lip balms!

Current dislikes

my eczema has returned :( -

I had it as a child but it disappeared and then came back when I went to uni :( . 

how dry the winters are in Japan

dry related health problems ~eczema, getting sick more, hangnails and epic chapped lips


I miss being warm~ I don't think that Tokyo is as cold as the UK but because of the lack of central heating and poor insulation in the houses and buildings , once you get cold it's difficult to get warm again. Sure having a hot bath works but thats not really an option when its the middle of the day and you're  in a freezing cold elementary school.

Current reading: 

Harry Potter ~ I think it's the cold, that is making me reach for this as its a comforting and familar read.

Current listening:

 At the moment, I'm not really listening to anything.

Current watching:

 I am rewatching the Big Bang Theory, it's not everyones cup of tea but it makes me chuckle.

I've also started watching Sherlock. Yeah, I'm late to that one. People have been talking about it for years, but I just never really got into it after watching some of the first episode. Anyway I gave it another go and I am happy that I did. I am enjoying it a lot.

Life: Current Loves

I disappeared from the internet for a while again.

I have been quite busy with moving and work. 

Quick update :Since my last post I moved into Tokyo and I changed jobs.So things have been quite stressful but very fun. 
K bought me a Kindle for my Birthday in September so I have been very preoccupied with that lol. 

Any who, on to the post.

My current loves……

Apart from hair, I am also loving mint green anything! jeans, socks,shirts, nails ….you get the picture. 

Mint jeans, Mint shirt from Forever 21 and a Soroban cd(my photo)

continuing with the mint ...mint nail polish obviously. I am really loving this mint polish(middle) that I got in Donki. It's gorgeous.

I also love the other two polishes, the Barry-m one is one I brought with me from England. and the Pa one (sparkles green,gold and blue) is another one I bought from Donki.

My favourite kinds of polishes are holographic, duo chrome and top coats like the Pa one that have little duo chrome flakes. So pretty and make nails look a little more interesting in my opinion.

pa polish,unknown and barry-m (my photos)

Cambridge satchels

I have been lusting after one of these bags for a few years now. they recently did a pastel collection too!!

Current hates

the weather

That it feels like it's suddenly gone from warm to freezing in a day.We seem to have skipped Autumn which is a shame as its my favourite season. I can't complain too much thou as at least its no longer swelteringly hot and humid. Can't win 'em all ah.

and finally i hate that its x amount of days to pay day…..(TOT)

Currently listening

Jimmy eat world and Alice nine 

Currently watching 

BBC Top Gear and Wonders of Life. Love Brian Cox

Currently reading

Just finished Game of Thrones(love it! can't wait to read the rest) and I'm now reading 'Nicholas and Alaxandra:The tragic and Compelling Story of the Last Tsar and his Family' which is about the Romanovs. I've found it can be a bit dry in places, lots of detail but I am still finding it very interesting. Reading it makes me wish I could see all the beautiful jewellery and deco described in the book.

Life: My current loves

My current loves ....

Jewellery ... more specifically rings and stacking them. I never used to wear rings as I didn't think they suited me. However now every weekend I'll be sporting at least 2 and am always on the look out for more for my collection.
This is my current favourite combo...

Sunglasses
 After seeing all the interesting styles choices in magazines and shops here .I've gotten the biggest urge to increase my collection ( lol..is two really a collection? ) that and I can actually use sunglasses here. In the UK I find I rarely bring my sunglasses out ..here it's so bright:D ! Love it. I currently love my Emoda sunglasses I bought back in February.

 Currently lusting after these ones....

Emoda

 Love these!!

Laguna Moon

Forever 21

Victory rolls
This is a continuation from last summer. I've loved vintage styles for a long time but never really tried them as I didn't think they suited me and I thought they were too difficult. I tried vintage rolls last summer and then consequently got distracted  by work and life (found myself a lovely man: K ) and stopped practicing ......this summer however I shall perfect them!!! or at least try :D




and lastly my Muchacha cat bag 
Currently my go to weekend bag and one of my prized possessions. I saw it last year in my copy of Snap Jelly but then forgot about it until recently.After which I went on a massive internet search to find it . This was given to me by K thou.
