My Opinion on Ashely and Shiena

I've noticed that a majority of my traffic is from the keywords "ashley gyaru secrets", "shiena gyaru", "who is ashley and shiena", "ashley shiena visa", etc... So, here is my opinion on them.

I think there are far more gyarus to care about, why care so much about these girls? What did they do that was so important to make us waste time googling them? Why are they so famous? For making childish videos on Youtube, trying to get a visa, going out with hosts, what? I don't get it! Stop caring about their life, it's none of your business either, so don't bash them for what they do either. They aren't going to change for anons   and haters! So stop posting meaningless secrets and hates all around the internet trying to create drama with these girls that probably don't care what you have to say! So, just stop it girls, care about your own life!

Sorry, I had to vent. I felt the need to vent.

XOXO

I'm sick

Don't pay much attention (or you can) to this post for I am just here to tell you I am sick... once again. I keep getting sick in the same way: sore throat, upset stomach, stuffy nose, nasal congestion, achiness, burning-out-of-my-head eyes, and a seal like cough. Well, it is flu season, so it should be expected. After this, I'm going to drink a ton of orange juice... or maybe not... after reading some articles about easier ways to keep yourself from getting sick. Here let me tell you!!

1. Let's start with the basics...
WASH YOUR HANDS!
I mean, we all know this right? I would hope so, but don't use hand sanitizer. Are you surprised? I know I was! Well, hand sanitizer kills 99.9% of germs so what about that little 0.1% of germ left? It gets stronger and stronger until eventually it can make you sick. So just hot water and soap will do fine since it leaves behind some of the not very harmful bacteria that is naturally all over your body.

2.Drink Lots of Water
You're probably like, "what kind of tip is this?". Well, don't' be negative, let me explain. Our bodies are mostly made up of water and when you're dehydrated it stresses out your immune system. When you have a very stuffy nose and a scratchy throat it means dryness and dryness opens the immunity barrier and opens your body up to infection, which means you get sicker easier. So drink up!

3.Zzzzzz...
Good night! Get some sleep, you won't get sick. Make sure to get at least 7-8 hours of sleep a night so your body has enough time to renew your immune system, which needs power to fight off those mean little germs.

4.Skip the OJ and Vitamin C Tablets
I know everyone turns into vitamin C ninjas when the flu season comes around. It isn't guaranteed that a vitamin C tablet will protect you from viruses and bacteria. Getting ALL the right nutrients is key. Eating a healthy and balanced diet with LOTS of fruits and vegetables will provide all the necessary nutrients your immune system needs to fight off sickness.

5.Get up!
In the winter you should really stay active. Staying active for at least 15 minutes a day reduces the stress hormone, Cortisol, and improves your immune system! So, get to the gym, get out your yoga mat, get your snow clothes on, heck run in place!

6. Mmm, Berries
I'm talking blueberries, cranberries, and... wait for it... acai berries! Don't eat the acai berries! Get the tablet! This little soft gel has so many antioxidants it raises your metabolism and immune system! Making a healthier you!

Hope this helped my fellow germaphobes! 

❤Circle Lenses & Stuff❤

So, I finally managed to do the circle lens review I promised to do! Yay! I also added a couple more product reviews in here, that's your belated Christmas gift from me, not really!

P.S. I'm not feeling good, so I don't look that great in these photos, don't mind it. Just read the reviews and don't tell me I look tired or sleepy or sick because I already know, okay?

P.S.S These are only webcam photos, which means they are low quality photos, don't mind that either. I also had way too much fun taking these pictures so don't mind my O.O and @.@ or OoO okay?

    ❝EOS Candy Magic King Size Blue❞

I bought these lenses from HoneyColor. They have a wide range of circle lenses to choose from-- many colours and brands. They even sell Dollywink! They also have sales very often. So check them out sometime! 

Brand... E.O.S, a.k.a Candy Magic  

Colour... blue/aqua

Diameter... 14.5mm

Base Curve... 8.8mm

Strength... -0.00 plano (both eyes)  

Effect... 16.5 mm 

Upsides: 

• They are very opaque
• They have a rich dark blue colour
• The limbal ring is very dark
• They create a wonderful wide-eyed, doe-eyed, dolly look. 
• They look good with pink!

Downsides: 

• They look slightly pixelated when close up
• They look very light when not in the eye, which is deceiving since they are very dark when worn
• They don't look very natural when close up
• From far away they look black (but I'm OCD, ignore me) 

Comfort ✭✭✭✭✩

At first I can feel them on my eye and it feels like I have an eyelash or some other kind of debris in my eye, but after a like 15 minutes I can't even feel them on my eyes! Sometimes I think they have disappeared. 

Appearance ✭✭✭✭✩

I love the colour and dolly look of these lenses, but like I said in the downsides, they are very pixelated and unnatural when you look at them up close. A lot of people say they are creepy, but that's just because no one around my town has seen people wearing circle lenses, if I was in, let's say Japan, I wouldn't get that reaction. 

Enlargement ✭✭✭✭✭

Five stars for enlargement! They have a 14.5 mm diameter and create a noticeable 16.5 mm effect! To me that's some big eyes! 

↓Here are some more pictures of me wearing the lenses↓

Some other stuff I bought (from various places): 

Oh, by the way, I'm wearing the circle lenses in these photos! (^_^)

I really, really don't like this picture at all, but whatever! What the heck? Why are my lips blue??? and why does my nose look huge??? Why is my fingernail red???  Ugh, I can' t win (T_T)

Rhoto C3 Moist Eyedrops

This makes my eyes go, "Ahhhh..." when I've worn my circle lenses for a few hours. It lubricates and moisturises the lens, reduces redness and irritation created from lenses, protects the cornea, replenishes the eye with vitamins (your eyes need vitamins?), and releases a cool feeling into the eye. I love these and they are a must in my purse!!! 

Available at: HoneyColor.com

You can't see the product label or anything-- but I'll tell you, just wait okay??? Thought I should put it in my face because it's small and wouldn't be very noticeable otherwise; plus, I don't want that big nose disaster that seems to happen when I hold small objects (T_T)...
Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush Shadow Duo

I absolutely LOVE this eyeshadow! Especially the lighter side! I don't like bright eyeshadows, so here's to the natural, golden look! The colour is called 24K Bold and the colours look like: medium matte brown with only a little bit of shimmer and golden flax with a lot of shimmer and sparkle. Looks lovely in real life, not on webcam since I was wearing this eyeshadow in all of these pictures (T_T) 

Available at: Victoria's Secret (can get it at the VS store or catalogue too!)

Please don't ask about this photo (T_T) I don't even know... I just don't even know...
Victoria's Secret Runway Eye-Liner

Can you say "NEW FAVOURITE EYELINER?!" I love this eyeliner! It goes on so smooth and soft! It includes a smudger on the other end that is perfect for creating that winged cat eye look. The colour is called Extreme Black, which is basically a very rich, dark black. 

Available at: Victoria's Secret (can get at the store and catalogue, as well)

That's all for now!!!

Sincerely, 

Yumi

❝❤ It Tis A New Year ❤❞

Oh jeez, hello there!!!

This Winter vacation has been so busy-- no time for blogging, no time for pictures, no time to breath!!! On Friday I went up to Maine to camp out in a cabin. We had an ice storm up there and it was very cold, but overall I had a really good time! Okay, I seriously need to get a camera, I could show you how it looked in Maine and how I looked without eye makeup and with a serious case of fly away hair!!! What the heck, need camera NOW! I haven't been able to blog about anything interesting without a camera, guess I'll take some webcam pictures later. I promise I will do a circle lens review tonight, because I haven't done that yet and I said I was going to so many times! I won't procrastinate-- there shall be no more procrastination! Ah ha! that reminds me, shall I tell you what my New Years resolutions are??? Yes, I shall.

Yumi's New Years Resolutions:
(there's no order from the one I really, really want to do to the one I probably won't do, I really, really want to do all of them! I must do all of them!)

1. Start doing pilates and yoga again: I was doing yoga and pilates every day for a while, then for some reason I stopped and now I don't do it at all. I don't have any muscle, I'm just some flesh material, fatty material, and bones (UGH!) 
2. Get better grades: I know, I know, I sound like a total goody two shoes saying this, but seriously my grades are not good! I need to start studying more and do my homework every night, because there is no way I'm going to stay back or fail! 
3. Blog more, get more views: I don't want my blog to die! I want it to actually be an awesome blog! I would settle for a good blog, whereas, right now I have an okay/decent blog. I would like to take more pictures, write more about beauty, do more reviews, and get more views! I'm doing everything I can to get more readers, not everything, but a lot of stuff to get more readers. I mean what is the point of having a blog with no readers? Well, maybe you don't need readers, but I'd like people to notice my blog at least! 
4. Learn to shut up: Yes, I need to shut up. I'm sorry this may sound like a depressed person's thoughts, but I've noticed that a lot of the time I'm the cause of the fights and arguments in my family. I always ruin stuff for myself. If I don't agree with something or I don't think somethings fair then I'll march right up and get in that person's face about it. Of course, I'm young and clueless and powerless to adults, and I need to stop butting in stuff. No one listens to my opinion anyway so why bother wasting my time and breath? It's like trying to tell a burglar's partner in crime that the burglar is stealing someone's purse. Way different scenarios, same situations. So, I've got to keep quiet and talk to the people that actually care about my opinions and mind my own business. 
5. Stop caring about what others think of me: I don't think I have to say much about this. I bet most of you know what I mean. I'm the kind of person that cares about what everyone thinks of me. You only live once, why live it being the person everyone wants you to be? I need to be my own person! 

That's it for now!!
