Life Stuff: Dying my hair!

There's something I've  been meaning to do for a long time now. Something I loved a lot and never got around to. Something I'd not done in about 4 years. Lucky for me my lovely friend Dinni is incredibly gifted at dying hair (I've long forgotten the ways).

SPOONIELIFE: When I feel normal

I'm sure you've heard of Chronic or Invisible Illnesses. But have you head of the Spoon Theory?

The quick jist is that it's like each action costs a spoon. To a lot of people getting up seems like one action, right? You get up dressed and start the day, right?  

HAUL POST: CutesyKink

DISCLAIMER

The following is a report on the experiences and feelings I had ordering from this company.

This in no way means I'm saying everyone will have the same experience.
I am simply providing an honest review to help people make informed decisions on where to buy their clothes online

No doubt you've heard of this brand on Facebook. If you're into anything cute or have any friends into Japanese fashion you more than likely have and like myself, probably spent more time than you'd care to admit window shopping endlessly through the many cute categories.

The online shopping experience is great. Things are fun, colourful, sorted well and often has suggestions of what clothes would go well with what you are viewing- always nice incase you've overlooked something. The only worry is the extreme lack of reviews on products. How can an online store be this popular with next to no reviews on products?

Just seeing this made me start to feel uneasy about buying here.

SPOONIELIFE: One week progress, day by day

Remember this post?

This is a follow up, as promised. I will outline day by day, at the end of each day to show you guys how this is working for me. Depending on how this goes, I may keep this up as a monthly blog with a week-by-week on progress.

Join me under the jump-cut for a day by day.

Otome Nadeshiko Koi Techou OVA

Episodes: 1

Aired: Jan 26, 2012
Runtime: 10 mins
Producers: Studio Izena

This OVA was bundled with the special version of the Otome Nadeshiko Love Story 2 light novel and it follows the story of a young girl falling in love in Japan's Taishou Period (1912-1926). I usually don't go for historical things, unless you count the special arc in Air, but something about the simplicity of this intrigued me and I'm somewhat looking forward to how a romance would blossom and what etiquette would be.

To be honest I found this anime while deciding to trawl through anime with "idol" in the tags, this one popped up. I looked at the character design and animation style and it reminded me of my beloved 90s anime. Read briefly it was about four princesses.. and I thought, why the heck not!
The opening sequence was the clincher, however I later found it didn't really portray the anime at all- for this, my friends is very much a parody.

DISCLAIMER:
This anime has quite a lot of fanservice and I wouldn't recommend it for young teenagers due to this. In clicking past the cut you are saying you are above the age of 17.

SPOONIELIFE: One week of small, nerdy changes

You all know by now about my Endometriosis and #Spoonie status. Yes I'm a young mother with endometriosis (I will make a bigger post on this later), skeleto-muscular abnormalities, chronic fatigue syndrome and IBS-like symptoms.

With all this comes a lowered immune system, fatigue, constant pain, low mood, anxiety and a feeling like a hook being ripped through my stomach thanks to lovely things called internal adhesions.

While waiting for an MRI my only way to manage is physiotherapy and "resting". Not possible as a single mum! So I've decided to make a few small changes and see how it affects me. I'll outline the things I'm doing every day thanks to the convenience and nagging of smartphones.

If you want you can join in with me and see how it effects you!

Thanks to these apps we can even get some healthy support and competition going.

Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun Character Single Lyrics

It seems I'm reviewing anime, then soundtracks then doing lyrics.. so since I already did a review of Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun, here's there character single lyrics.
These were written by reading the lyrics on the booklet enclosed with the CDs but hearing the kanji (since there's just too darn many I don't know).

Magical Girl Pretty Sammy OVA

More info here

There's quite possibly no genre I love more than the prevalent magical girl genre, and no better era for anime (in my opinion) than the 80/90's, so why don't we combine the two by looking at this OVA that was a spin-off of the popular Tenchi Muyo!
