Alpacas fun in the Summer sun

One of the ladies in my local lolita community found a nearby alpaca farm, so I hopped on the chance to see my favorite farm animals.

Going to an alpaca farm doesn't seem very glamorous but we had fun anyway. Here I am posing with my favorite guy Chocolate Rumrunner. 

Not all of the alpacas were as friendly as he was, most of them were curious but very shy and  avoiding getting too close to us but Choco greeted us as welcome buddies.

This guy has the right idea, it was ridiculously hot that day, if I were covered in all that wool I'd be tired too.

The owner's of the farm also had these super fluffy herd dogs, which were far more friendly than most of the alpacas.

This little guy is just a puppy, he was only a few weeks old and already so big and fluffy.

Another animal at the farm were these Angora bunnies, which were the hugest and fluffiest bunnies I'd ever seen.

I couldn't even tell where was the head and where the tail, it was just one big ball of fur.

We also had high tea at the house, and learned a little bit about the history of the house and farm.

The tea was super delicious, and I really hate tea, but it was apparently Ginger Peach from Teavana. I definitely need to get some more once I can pony up the cash.

Here is my outfit shot for the day, I didn't really get to wear the heels, I only wore them for the outfit shot. Most of the time I wore sneakers.

Suprisingly none of the alpacas spit at us, and they didn't really smell all that bad either.

I hope we can have another meet here again one day, it was a bit difficult to get a reservation because only about 13 people could book the tour at a time.

A fun weekend with friends.

Some of the local lolitas met together to make Build a Bears, I however have too many plushies, I figured it wasn't a good idea for me to buy anymore. I was so late, I was in pain during the day and my ride showed up early so I only had time to apply concealer, circle lenses and a bit of blush. I figured my sunglasses would be a good coverup.

Claire's was having an Easter sale so I wound up buying these cute ass bunny ear clips as well as a few other accessories

This is definitely a last minute outfit, I didn't have any time to coordinate everything but I was happy that I got to see everyone anyway. 

By the time I got there, only a few people were left but me and my friend decided to join them for lunch anyway. 

I was worried about going over my calorie limit so I got the Coconut shrimp appetizer and Steamed broccoli and shared it with my friend. The shrimp was delicious but the dipping sauce was gross so I avoided it, the broccoli wasn't that great or fresh but it was good substitute for fries.

I spent a good bit of time trying to find a maxi dress in Forever 21 but all the ones in my size were very garish looking, I found a bunch of super cute fairy kei style clothing that I will definitely snag once there is a sale. While I was leaving this lady with the pink bag tried to take a picture of us on her phone but totally ran away when I tried to snap one back, I figured it's only fair.

The next day I went to the metaphysical store with some friends, if you didn't know from my tumblr, I'm pagan and I practice witchcraft, my friend was nice enough to introduce me to a great store locally. This is what I planned to wear but when I woke up in the morning I had no desire to wear a wig and makeup. 

I went stocked up on supplies, some sea salt for purification, a bag for my tarot deck and some more incense for meditation. I also got some stones and a small bag for me to store them in, I really like the color and the sparkly butterflies reflect my personality. The green candle is for wealth, the white one for astral travel and the goldish colored one is for confidence.

I also bought of bunch of stuff from taobao, and ebay, so I'll show you my haul as well as some things I made in the next post.

Thanks for reading guys 

Healthier living for happier living.

So lately I've been trying to lose some more weight, I've been battling my weight for three years now and honestly my problem stems from purely aesthetic issues rather than health issues. I don't have diabetes, I'm not obese and I don't have any heart problem or any other conditions because of my weight. I'm simply overweight and tired of not being able to fit the clothes I want. It's a bit selfish I know, but my view of myself is very negative, I hate myself and I hate my body, I feel like if I could reach my goal weight that I'd feel better about myself. I have limited myself to 1200 calories daily, which I've done before and with exercise I lost  15 lbs last year.

I bought some healthier foods as well as some great snack alternatives, I like to eat but I don't eat often, I have a problem with not eating all day and then snacking at night or going to a fast food restaurant instead of having the extra time to pack a lunch and breakfast is supposed to be the most important meal of the day but I hate eating in the morning. I found some great substitutes for candy and soda, I'm not a fan of Stevia and I'm still getting used to it but I do like eating steamed vegetables and fresh fruit smoothies. I got plenty of nuts and egg whites for protein and green tea for metabolism. As for soda I like the fizz so I picked La Croix sparkling water, and I add a little bit of Stevia or mix it with Apple juice as a substitute. I also got some not so healthy oatmeal cookies but if I pace myself and only eat them as a treat I should do fine.

Shopping healthier is definitely hard and way more expensive so I really need to pace myself. While I was out I couldn't resist buying some fake flowers, I can't wear the DreamV heels I love because they are too narrow for my feet. So I bought a pair of stripper heel mules and some lace, so they'll be my new craft project.

As a reward for staying under my budget I bought a new parasol, the white was on sale at the local Target for 15 dollars so I couldn't pass it up, my pink one is from bodyline and it was 20 dollars.

While I was walking home from the store the guy in the blue SUV missed two lights just so he could take a picture of me but I wasn't wearing anything odd, just jeans and tshirt and a blonde wig.

Yesterday, one of my good friends came in town and we went out to eat so I decided to dress up, I really like how I did my makeup and I made the headpiece really fast.

By the time I remembered to take a picture it was dark outside, oh well.

We spent hours in the Starbucks talking and catching up with each other, it was really fun.

I also restarted Insanity, which is this crazy workout program that I did last year, on it I lost so much weight so I tried it again, this time I'm definitely out of practice my fitness test was abysmal.

I'm back

So after my camera breaking and their being a lot of drama in my life, I stopped blogging due to stress and just not having enough time. Now with a mostly at home job, and new camera and plenty of new things to talk about, I figured why not continue where I left off. I don't really have much to say so I'll leave this picture spam instead. I'll try to update more often now.

and there you have it, the past few months, in pictures.

Please do not reupload my pictures to tumblr, if you want to reblog a pic, simply go in my tagged "me" or just send me a question and I'll find it for you.
