Cheap Professional Photography

wanna display a product like the professionals?
wanna do it with about $12 and appliances around the house?
it's done step-by-step right here

Inedible Goodies: Bittersweet



why the heck would you not want one of these?
they're scented:
charms
rings
necklaces
bookmarks
etc.
and they're shaped like exact mini replicas
of delicious food.
UGH, this is a need in my life...

Pokemon + Persona

aside from finishing my quest
to be a pokemon master
by playing Soul Silver,

i've also been writing quite a bit.
i'm almost done with my second entry.

all i have left to do is:
draw 2 pictures for both entries,
draw a picture for the blog's title,
and actually create the blog.

i'm kinda excited about it.
think of it as my persona.

Bodyjewelrysource

so an update on my stretching process:
i have 2 wraps of tape around my ears
(woooot!)
not the best of tapes, but i have it on there.
granted, i want the healthiest lobes i can get.
i'm just in the worst self-reflection mood about myself
right now.
and i was frustrated that the teflon tape wasn't working for me
at the small 8G, at least
(i'll give it another go later down the road).
i wouldn't reccomend doing what i did, though.
it's so sticky and i'm constantly changing it!

i'm babying my ears TO DEATH once i get to 6G.

anyway, i'm excited to wear jewelry 
once i'm aesthetically pleased with a size.

once place i've been ogling is
it has really affordable:
plugs
tunnels
eyelets
organics
etc.

i feel the steel tunnels with the rhinestones encircling it,
is like the rights of passage into the stretching world.
purchasing a pair of those means you've made it!

and guess who has them for an affordable price?
yup, bodyjewelrysource.
they're always having sales, too.
which is awesome.

told myself i wouldn't buy any jewelry period
 until i was done stretching.
can't anyway...
not like i have any money! haha!
i don't even have enough for the happy hour frapps.
pathetic.

anyway, give them a browse of you want a deal!
i would if i could.

Natural Remedies for a Sad Heart

over the past 5 months,
i've learned so much about natural remedies!
i'd like to share about the few things i've learned:

witch hazel:
cleanses the skin/astringent
it really does help remove dirt after you wash your face!
keeps your face clean and it's gentle

sea salt soaks:
i do it for my lobes,
it soothes them
and pulls any impurities from my (broken) skin
it really has worked wonders!
also VERRY tasty,
i invest in the sea salt and peppercorn grinders
due to my HUGE obsession with its taste difference


Holey Buttr:
used for ear stretches essentially,
makes lobes very supple after a good massage
helps elasticity (for me)
plumped my lobes up!
jojoba oil:
when massaged into lobes, can get rid of scabs/scarring
used it for skin and it helps get rid of scab w/continued use
organic plugs of sorts:
they're just fun for people with stretched lobes.
each pair essentially is unique,
so beautiful!


honey:
i LOVE drizzling honey on top of plain yogurt and granola!
it's a great substitution for sugar.
also a yummy treat is taking a spoonful of honey,
and stirring it in a warm cup of milk
(thanks Ponyo!)
at the state fair, there's honey ice cream- delicious!
i really want to invest in organic honey
(more nutrients)
cause sometimes honey can taste..processed.
had it in kindergarden, too:
honey and peanut butter sandwiches!

i'm pretty sure there's MANY more
natural medicines out there.
it's just that i haven't tried them yet!
i'm loving the results of the medicines 
God put on this earth for us

and remember, patience is KEY!
(with both ear stretching and natural products)

see ya later alligators!

First Attempt at Taping 8G

took me AT LEAST 15 tries!
whoo, just getting used to the feel,
the length,
its thickness,
the crazy-delicateness of it!

but i FINALLY got roughly one layer around it,
lubed it SUPER well with jojoba,
and got it through without it bunching up on me.

two keywords when it comes to taping at smaller sizes:
TIGHT + LUBE
haha, kept having to redo it cause it would slide off.
but i got it.
once i get the hang of it, i might do a video.

just an update.
toodles!
