Snoooow !

Boarding !!
(ignore ugly hired clothes please. hahah)
So, recently I went to the snow !
We were mostly at Smiggin Holes but we also went up to Perisher Blue, which I personally didn't like as much because there were a loot more people. Even though the lift was cooler.
It was with a school group and it was amazingly fun. - apart from the parts where I was falling every one meter down the mountain hahaha.

I was one of the three (out of around 46) that chose to do snowboarding. and in those three, I was the only one who hadn't boarded before. ):

Let me tell you this. Snowboarding is a lot harder than it looks. seriously.
If you don't want to get hurt at all, go skiing, it's so much easier (but less fun. hahaha.)
as I said like fifty times when I was there, skiing is easier to pick up but harder to get good at (omg, i hate it when the skis cross) whereas snowboarding is harder to pick up and easier to get good at.

I was actually in so much pain when I got back, I couldn't walk properly or lift my arms. I was also covered in bruises. (I even had one on my cheek, but that was from running headfirst into a glass door and then being unlucky enough to have a snowboard fall on the same place the next day.. Yea.. I know..)
When snowboarding, its so important to learn the S-Bend, seriously, because I couldn't do it, I heel-sided, basically when you dig your heels in and lift your toes, all the way down when wanting to go slow, which put so much pressure onto my thighs. Which hurt. A lot.

Another thing. Practise before getting off the lift !!! Seriously, the most embarrassing thing I did was not falling over 34817289370413 times and making my instructor hate me, falling while on the J-Bar, or running into the glass door, but it was getting off the chairlift and stacking it on the ramp every. single. time.
In my defense, it was steep, and icy. okay.

I promise you, this was on purpose. I swear ! Hahahah, I curled into a ball cause I was so tired, and after I got up my friend told me to do it again so she could take a picture. True story.
    .
Anyway, the three days, only two which we actually spent in the snow were so much fun, but so tiring. After the last run, my legs were literally trembling. hahahah.
Back to school tomorrow. Nooooooooo..

my room;

recently my wall got painted- white still, but to cover all the peeled off paint (from blu-tack & posters) and just a new whiter coat in general. and, since i had to pull down everything i thought, why not change things around ?
so down went all my posters, (mostly kpop. :$) and taadaa !

I know, not very impressive right now, but, its a work in progress..
that big, empty blank patch of wall ?  that will be soon filled with more polaroids (my polaroid collection is rather pathetic right now.) and i'm also getting some canvas images made, and its the whole set of the war posters everyone seems to know. (':
Goes with my bed sheets too. hehehe.

made it in photoshop, the set of 3! :D
this is my desk, I'm really sentimental as you can see, theres stuff from almost every event i go to. hehe. (:

beauty&skincare haul !

Well, I'm pretty sure everyone I know knows that I've been on a crazy online shopping phase for the past 3 and a half months, I have bought over seven hundred dollars worth of items.. yea, I think I went just a bit overboard..
Anyway, 
I received my items from Colourmix today and also from BeautyHolic Korea on eBay.

My Packages !!
Both were packaged really nicely, you should see how much bubble wrap I have now. I think it's enough to keep me occupied for the rest of my life.

Now, Colourmix were pretty slow at first.. they were processing my shipment for almost a month and no matter how hard I tried to contact them, I couldn't, I emailed about 4 times, Facebook messaged 3, Called 3 times, until they finally replied to my emails. It's not all bad however, they day after I sent my order in I realised while looking at the invoice that I entered the wrong state... Instead of NSW, it was entered as the ACT (I blame their server that kept making me fill the form out repetedly), I contacted them and they were kind enough to change the state for me (I think it says that they would charge a fee for any changes made,) and they gave me free express shipping SO YAY.

Lyn / Eunjung / Kyprus at BeautyHolic-Kr however, was great all they way through, definitely check out her shop if you're a fan of korean beauty products, I got Lioele two eyeshadows, liquid eyeliner, eyebrow pencil and mascara, plus a foot mask and lots of samples for only $30 ! Will definetely buy from her again (in fact I already did...) She is so kind and very patient and even tried to find me a product I wanted that wasn't listed in her store.   GO THERE ! ♥

I'll probably do a separate review on the products later, BUT YAY, WHITE TREE SNOW, I've really anticipated using this skin care line from The Face Shop !
