Cookies


I made cookies from the Betty Crocker range...they turned out okay, not the best....I have to say....but they taste better than they look though. I will improve over time I guess to make it look like the product on the box. Haha, the first batch came out a bit burnt, but not black at least, the second batch turned out alright :D

Scars

A scar is something that is left on your body from a life experience, whether it was good or bad. I have a few scars on me, but they aren't bad memories.....I rather keep the scars I have on me because it shows what I have experienced in life.....btw my scars aren't big or massive....they are just small and remind of happy events that happened to me....I have two scars from cooking....one on my knee and one on my left arm, the one on my knee because where I'm currently living they have an oven at floor level...so you have to kneel or crouch down to reach the oven.....pulling out the hot oven tray..it touched my knee....making a line across my knee...oh...well..My other one was from when I was baking a cake and this time the oven was at arm's length...my arm accidentally had a twitch and it touched the extremely hot heating element or it was either the other time I was using hot wax and testing to see if it was hot and it indeed it was and burnt me...I have scar from when I had the chicken pox...still there and hasn't left, good old childhood memories that one was -_-"...then another scar from doing artworks with the hot glue gun...everyone must of had an experience with a hot glue gun.....One on the achilles area of my foot....that one was from my best friend's eighteenth party... I actually got no idea how I came across it, all I remember was their was blood and few cut marks from it, couldn't put all my weight on that foot for a few days or so....it wasn't a deep cut...just to let you know....I have a scar from when I had my black freckle or beauty spot removed from underneath my right eye...to be honest I still know that the dot is there, just their is dark-colour to show it's actually there...my last scar was from childhood memories when I fought with my sister....you know those sibling rivalries ....the scar I received from her was that she bit me and she took a bit of flesh of, now it's like this tan-coloured spot where she had teeth in me....Their are products that help get rid of these scars....Like I have bio-oil that I used rarely...cause I keep forgetting to apply....I only use bio-oil to help get rid of my acne scars on my back...cause it doesn't look that great, compare to my other scars that all over my body....

Polaroid

I wish I could have a polaroid camera and take those photos with that vintage look....but I don't own a polaroid camera :( Even though the actual camera is not that expensive.....moderately priced.... -_-....it's just the film is f**king expensive...oh why does it have to be so pricey......well the model that I want is the instax mini 25..looks so cute and easily portable.....



I could edit photos to make them look like they are polaroids, 
but that's to time consuming...........hmmm.

WELL.....I can do polaroid photos easily now because of this app I found recently...it's a polaroid app of course... This app is for your computer or laptop, so now you can turn your normal photos into P O L A R O I D photos.....

Here are some examples of the photos that I changed:

HOPE you have F U N making polaroid photos

Macarons

Yesterday I got some macarons......it was my first time trying them.....So I couldn't wait to eat them once I got home, ummm....let's say they were really sweet and sugary...If your not a sweet person, I think one is enough for you...But if your are a sweets and sugar type person, you would love them.
I got these macarons from GATEAU HOUSE, here in New Zealand...the one I went to was on Queen street. Well if you are in New Zealand or live here you should check the place out. They make delicious and yum cakes....

Outside view of the shop 

The macarons I got

Left to right: Strawberry, Green Tea, Chocolate and Mango

The flavour of each macaron was different....duh, of course it would be...they are different flavoured...well anyway..each macarons sweetness and sugar content was different...

For the Strawberry macaron, it was very sweet, and sugary...I could eat, but took my time because it was really sweet and very sugary..It tasted like strawberry cream..or like those strawberry flavoured pocky sticks, the original kind.
For the Green Tea macaron, I've got one description for it and that it tasted like a Green Tea frappucino...I was like yum, This macaron is my favourite flavour now.
For the chocolate macaron...no different, it tasted like chocolate...and if you have tried chocolate ganache....yeah it tasted like that, sweet but not to sweet.
For the mango macaron, it was okay....the mango taste wasn't strong but you could taste. At least it wasn't sweet as the strawberry macaron.

Besides the taste of the fillings, each macaron shell or biscuit tasted like almond because of the almond meal used in the recipe.


Exam Time

Well...today is the day, I have my exam...well my last and final exam....I feel okay ...all I hope is that I do well in my exam...See u later.

My current Dolly Wink Lash Collection, I currently have no.9 Natural Dolly, no.10 Pure Sweet and no.11 Sweet Cat. I want to get the newer top lashes that have come out. Which are no.15 Pure Girl, no.16 Dolly Mix and no.17 Diamond Dolly. I love her lash design and how comfortable they are and each lash design is unique. I will have some reviews on her lashes posted up soon. 

Dolly Wink no.9 lashes (Natural Dolly)




DESIGN: design is comfortable and the lash design is criss cross design, so it blends naturally with your normal lashes. It is very light and lashes are fluffy and not plastic like.

DURABILITY: strong and will last long. I wore them to work, and they lasted the whole shift I worked on.

PACKAGING: design of the packaging is simple and cute, suitable for the whole idea that tsubasa was going for....OTONA collection.

COMFORT: comfort of the lashes is very comfortable.

PRICING: these were okay in pricing, but there was no deal with these lashes because this set came with two sets of lashes. But it's worth it because the quality is good and they last awhile.

OVERALL: I like the design of these lashes as they blended well with my natural lashes.

Dolly Wink Lashes no.11 (Pure Sweet)




COMFORT: The lashes are designed so that the band is clear and is flexible and won’t annoy or irritate your lash line and they are very comfortable to wear, but you usually have to adjust the size of the lash itself to suit your eye size so it would be comfortable to you.

DESIGN: The lash design is well-designed and the lash band is flexible and clear, so the lashes are the only thing that is black on the band, so it would blend naturally to your eyelashes

PRICE: The price for these lashes were not bad, since with this pack it was a limited edition which it had 3 sets of lashes, instead of it coming with 2 pairs of lashes.

PACKAGING: Design of the package is simple and matches the type of collection Tsubasa designed, which was the otona collection. Mature but cute design.

 is simple and matches the type of collection Tsubasa designed, which was the otona collection. Mature but cute design.

OVERALL: The look of the lashes are natural and give your lashes curve and length compare to the naturally dolly lashes because they gave length on the ends of the lashes, but with these lashes they gave length on all lashes they were like lash extensions.

Laziness

Just a day before my last exam and I am being lazy and not doing any study at all, man I am a procrastinator......I guess I should do some study now, but knowing me I am going to leave it to last minute or hour or few hours to cram all the stuff I need to know for the exam....then when I am in the exam.......MY MIND GOES BLANK and I forget what I just studied in that short period of time..........hmmm, but then again I would gave it my best shot......then I would of regretted not being well-prepared for the exam...oh well, I never really learn from my mistakes, until it's too late...THAT"S JUST ME..
