Back ^^
Sorry I haven't updated the blog lately, I've been super busy shopping for back to school. This time of the year is probably the most stressful ^^''. During the stressful time, I lost my birth certificate and I'm desperately trying to find it before my mom finds out. So until I find it I won't be able to update the blog T^T sorry.

Back To School Online Shopping
It's 6:35 in the morning here in Vancouver and i'm still awake browsing, browsing, and more browsing lol so I had some money and thought I should by some more clothes online since my closet is literally empty. In this years spring cleaning I donated everything from clothes to books, in that I ended up with almost nothing in my closet. I really don't know how I managed to get through 3 months of school with a few t-shirts and jeans. I feel like I deserve a pat on the back. Anyways I had some money and I thought I should stock up with clothes before school starts and decided to find the cheapest but qood quality website for clothes and CHANCHAN I found SammyDress ( Sammydress.com) well I didn't technically find it I've been shopping at it for a few years now. The website offers cheap prices for good quality clothing and just to assure yourself that the product will be just like in the picture, customers who buy the product write reviews and even post picture of them wearing the product. Once in a while you'll find that the product isn't as it says it is but it's really rare that this will occur. Ahh so I had a budget of $100 and wanted to buy as much as clothing as I could, so I looked for low priced stuff and fit 9 products into my budget and actually came up to $90.23CAD. STOP but my $100 wasn't enough for the whole price because I forgot about the shpping payment and it came up to $55, but somehow I managed to please my mom into paying some of the shipping money which was a succes. I'm happy I'm able to buy all the clothes I wanted even though some got left out. Here are the things I ordered :)
I really fell in love with these because I love maroon and black together. I usually wear black jeans with a black t-shirt or something and these boots would go with that causal rock look.
I prefer really casual clothing for school, something comfortable you can get through the day with and this one seemed perfect. It would go with my black jeans too.
I love plaid and want to add more to my plaid collection, this shirt was perfect for it. It's sort of like a jacket, you can wear it as a shirt or jacket as the model is in the picture.
I didn't really like those shirts with random words in huge letter on the front but lately they're starting to grow on me. Fall and Winter is going to be here soon and I have no sweatshirts to wear, this one fits my taste and will keep me warm on cold days.
I own no harem pants only jeans and skirts, so this year I felt that I should change up the way I dress and be a bit more laid back since it's school. Friends always tell me how do I wear tight jeans everyday but I find skinny jeans way more comfortable than harem pants. Maybe this time I'll have a change of mind.
I've always had my eyes on blouses like these; airy, cotten, and lose blouses. They seem really comfortable and perfect to wear on the last Summer days.
I have 0 knit sweaters.Sad but true. The way the blouses collar pops out from inside the sweater,
I love it. It portrays a fresh look.
Okay this sweater looks hella warm and really comfy, who wouldn't want it?
This sweater I thought real~ hard about buying it because the pockets are fake, which
really turned me off but overall the rest of the piece is really pretty, so I had to have it.
These are the 9 things I decided to buy, there was much more that I wanted but since I have a budget, i gotta stay withing it. I think I did pretty well with my budget though.
Since school is starting be wise with your money and buy some good clothes depending on what you already have. It's 7:30 in the morning and i'm getting sleepy. Goodnight~
Home Skin Care Treatments
Having clear and beautiful skin is important, if you have clear skin it gives you confidence in your looks. I've gone though many home remedies and picked out 10 that worked for me. Here they are
1. Bleaching Mask
1 tsp dry fennel
1 cup boiling water
1 tbsp buttermilk
Directions
Add the dry fennel into the boiling water and leave it for at least 1 hour. Strain the herbal material from the water and add the buttermilk to it. Apply directly to your skin and let the mask sit for 15 to 20 minutes before rinsing thoroughly. Apply the mask 3 or 4 times a week.
2. Skin Lighting Cream
3 tbsp lemon juice
3 tbsp egg whites
Directions
Heat in a small saucepan over low hear until the mixture thickens. Place it in a jar and place it in the refrigerator until cool. Apply it directly to your skin and allow the mixture to remain for 15 to 20 minutes before rinsing. This treatment may be used daily until the desired skin color is achieved, and works
very well to remove a sun tan.
3. Acne Treatment
3 tbsp Pure Apple Cider Vinegar
1 tbsp Fresh Water
Directions
Mix the apple cider vinegar and water together. Start off by washing your face and patting it dry, then dip a cotton ball into the mixture and apply it directly to the blemish. Leave it on for 10 minutes or overnight, then wash it off. Apply this 3-5 times a day, washing your face thoroughly each time and remember to apply moisturizer after to keep your skin from getting dry.
4. Skin Conditioning (removing acne, dead skin cells,and extra oil)
2 Orange Peels
Fresh Water
Directions
Using a blender grind up the orange peels and add the water little by little just so it doesn't become runny, when you reach the right consistency apply it to your face. Wait 20- 25 minutes, until the mask is firm, then rinse your face, pat dry and apply a good moisturizer.
5. Soft skin
2 cups Sugar or Salt (use fine-grained sugar or salt, rather than course-grained)
1/2 cup Olive Oil or Almond Oil
1/4 cup Honey
1 tsp Vanilla or a few drops of your favorite essential oil
Directions
Mix in vanilla extract with the salt or sugar, then add the olive oil and honey. Mix well and scrub your face with it for at least 5 minutes and rinse skin. Pack the remaining mixture in a cosmetic bottle or a jar.
6. Glowing Skin
1 tsp Lemon Juice
2 tbsp Tomato Juice/Pulp
Directions
Mix the lemon juice and tomato pulp together and apply it to your face, leave it on for 15 minutes then rinse your face off. Apply moisturizer. Tomatoes are also a skin lighting agent and it also cleans out the extra oils in your skin and opens pores.
7. Fair Skin
1/2 Potato Pulp/Juice
Directions
Grind half a potato in blender and apply it to your face, leave it for about 15-20 minutes or until it's dry, then rinse off thoroughly with cold water. The result will start to show in a few minutes. This method is good for instant results.
8. Clean and Clear Skin
1 tsp Lemon Juice
2 tsp Baking Powder
Directions
Mix the lemon juice into the baking powder and apply it evenly on your face, leave it until it feels dry *WARNING* LEAVING IT FOR TO LONG WILL RESULT IN PEELING** then use a wet face cloth to remove the mask. Your face will feel clean and fresh.
9. Minimizing Scars
1 tbsp Turmeric Powder
1/2 tsp Pineapple Juice
Directions
Mix the turmeric powder into the pineapple juice and apply it onto your face and neck in circular motion. Leave it on until it is completely dry. Then wash it of with lukewarm water. Follow this remedy 2 or 3 times a week.
10. Moisturize
Honey
Directions
Apply honey all over your face and let it dry. Then rinse it off with lukewarm water. The water content in the honey will deeply moisturize the skin, making it soft and supple. Do this remedy once a day.
There you have it, these are the 10 home remedies I follow on a daily bases and they have helped me a lot. I had fair skin when I was young but got a really bad tan when I went travelling to Kenya and ever since then the tan has stayed, you can even see the lining around my face. Following these remedies really helped me feel better about my skin, but just by following these won't get you the skin you want, you have to drink plenty of water and be hydrated, also eat healthy. Getting your right amounts of calories and nutrients is important and working out can help your skin stay clear, also you'll be fit.

Simple Thong Sandals $26.31 USD

A very simple but airy sandal. Since it`s summer everyone is going to be sweating and when feet get sweaty they can stink A LOT! Haha anyways these sandals come with an open toe with thong strap, and include an elastic sling back strap at the back so it`s easy on the back of your foot. you can style these with a casual summer outfit, just like this.
Next we have the stripped summer sandals,
Stripped Summer Sandals $38.42 USD
I found these really cute and the material gives off a Hawaii type of feel. They`re not really the sandals you wear to the beach but when you`re just out and about enjoying the summer sun. They have a strong grip and include a buckle on the sides.
You can wear it while on a walk on the city, with a pair of denim jeans and a baseball jersey.
I hope you liked part 2 of Summer Needs, if you liked any of the products here then there are links at the bottom.

Summer Needs_Part 1_Sunglasses
Metal Round Sunglasses $15.30 USD
Wearing these give off a mysterious look and stylish.
They can be coordinated with many different styles
 |
| They're perfect for the beach. You can wear these with a simple bikini ( I suggest a sexy one piece) and look stunning. ;) |
This one is more of a chic look, the stunning yellow boots put the outfit together and give it a unique look.
The mirrored glasses give that bug eyed look and the side sweep hairstyle adds a chic look.
If you're going for a bit more of the cute style then the glasses work for that too. The beautiful grey top with flowers on it with the long white skirt and hair done up with two cute buns and to top the hairstyle you have a British style grey hat. The glasses give off a nerdy cute look and they fit the outfit really well.
I hope you guys can find the perfect pair of sunglasses.
To be continued.... ;)
Hiii~ so today when I was on twitter, vonaive web store (VonaiveWebStore ) posted this picture of a cute t- shirt with flower embroidery on the neckline, it's called "Thorn and Roses."
THORN AND ROSES
The outfit on the bottom is laid back but still cute and stylish. With the distressed denim capri jeans the t-shirt un-tucked would give a very laid back and relaxed look to whoever wears it. Then we have the studded pointy toe flats that adds that hint of cute into the outfit. This is defiantly a summer outfit because of the very loose feel to it and if you were to wear it you can feel the cool breezes that would pass by.
The outfit to our right is a bit more put together and has a street vibe to it. The "Thorn and Roses" t- shirt tucked in slightly with just a bit of puff coming out and then the denim pencil skirt outlining your lower body, with the cardigan tied around the waist. I actually struggled with the cardigan and wasn't going to add it but if I hadn't added it the outfit would sorta lack in a way. Okay so picking the right shoes for the outfit was a struggle, but in the end I ended up having 2 choices, plus it's much funner that way.
THORN AND ROSES
I thought you can do so much with this shirt, well ya when you first look at it, it'll look like a casual everyday t-shirt BUT if you put it together properly you can achieve a cute, outgoing, or street look.

Here we have the velcro ankle strap sandals that are simple but complement the whole outfit
really well.
