Gah...

I guess this is a rant. I'm getting so frustrated with myself. With my body. I watch these people around me who eat more and exercise a hell of a lot less than me wearing size ten clothes and finding life so damn easy. For goodness sake I walk at very least three miles every day, I'm lifting heavy things all day and I eat less than 1500 calories a day and I'm still, STILL, a size 16. I don't know what else I can do.
I want to be able to run without feeling so heavy. I want to be strong. Why is it every time I run my asthma plays up? My legs hurt and I can barely stand?!  It's not fare. I just want to be normal ! To be healthy!
I just want to be able to go a day without some part of me aching. A night without having to take my inhaler. I have a good diet. I don't drink, I don't smoke, I eat my damn vegetables, so why does my body hate me?! 
Even my hormones can't chill out and let me be. I don't want to be hyper one minute and crying my eyes out the next.
And the worst part? I've been to the doctor, there's NOTHING physically wrong with me. If I knew I was sick then maybe it would make it better somehow. I could understand it. I could deal with it. But no, I'm an apparently perfectly healthy, stressed, exhausted, overweight twentyone year old woman.
It just makes me want to scream sometimes.

Spring time!

It's now well into spring and it's the prefect time to get creative. This post will be for the girls (sorry boys) as we cover makeup, clothes and jewellery.

It's the time of year when the world looks like this :

and everyone's a lot more relaxed. It's the perfect time to clean out your wardrobe and replace a few older items.

It's also a brilliant time to make something new.
Today I put a air clip together, inspired by those blossoms. Here it is:





Made with bead strings, elastic, a small bell, a few little earrings and a pretty pink flower. Easy to do just by tying it all together. No glue, no mess.











Your makeup can have a revamp too. Time to put the cold blues and deep reds of the winter in the draw and bring out the soft pinks.




To get a soft effect brush a light white eyeshadow all over then add a gentle pink over the lid. Add mascara and white eyeliner to make your eyes pop.










You can have a bit of fun with your nails too. Multi coloured nails aren't just for the little ones.

Have a go for your self. Keep the colours light, but not shocking.
















Finally, remember your sun safety. A wide brimmed hat this time of year is your best friend.

And get that sun cream on.

The weeboo Vs the fan.

There's a thin line between these two and if you don't know what a weeboo is then you'll work it out as we work through this handy dandy list.

Traits of a weeboo:

• Buying anime, just because it's anime.
• see above but for manga.
• Speaking in random broken Japanese for no reason whatsoever and with no real understanding of what they're actually saying (or "the desu rule").
• Dressing up as random characters they know little to nothing about at conventions.
• Dressing in ita lolita as they've not looked up lolita, only knowing that it's one of Japan's many street fashions.
• Screaming kawaiiiii at the top of their voices at anything remotely cute.
• Buying Japanese versions of games even if they can't play them.
• Blindly hating any media from any country other than Japan for no reason.
• Eating only noodles, sushi and pocky.

Ok, let's compare this to the traits of a fan:

• Buying anime of a certain genre because they are interested in that sort of thing.
• Once again see above but for manga. These people will often also often read many types of graphic novels and other books.
• Learning Japanese language and culture to better understand the media they enjoy or visit the country.
• Dress up as their favourite character at conventions.
• Buying their region versions of particular Japanese games they think they'll enjoy. 
• Enjoying varied media from all around the world.
• Eating a balanced diet and enjoying pocky as it tastes good.
