Kanelia Sokeria

Koruploodan päivitystä, ja tarjolla tänään:

- Leveä ja paksuhko (noin sentin) puinen tummanruskea sormus, pyöristetty, semmoinen pullero. Koko 17. Vaikka euron.

- Leveä mutta litteä muovinen sormus, valkoisella pohjalla aniliininpunaisia liljoja ja vihreää lehteä. Tosi kaunis, mutta on mulle liian suuri, noin 17,5. Takapuolelta sillai auki vähän, että antaa vähän myöten molempiin suuntiin. 2,5e.

Kuvei lisäpyynnöstä of course.

How much money is reasonable to use in beauty?
How much is your beauty bill every year?
How much you would like it to be?
How much is enough, and what would be "too much"?

A regular Finnish woman is using 151 euros to cosmetics. In a year.
151 euros... only? I started to count my expenses. I'm using that money annually to shampoo only!? So I made a list about my estimated cosmetic charges, and added also a number of these products I yearly use.

And this didn't count everything, it may be counted 100 euros over or under, prices are totally estimated, some are tax-free prices and some might be made up in my mind. There is surely some products missing. Plus I listed only the products I buy regulalry.

And yet it was far over 1500 euros per year. I can't believe this. I would have guessed something like 700 euros. This is too much, I have to check out my beauty needs again. But what could I give up without giving up my beauty and the good condition of my skin and body?

Taidelounge Taideakatemian Köysiratagalleriassa vielä huomisen! Luvassa mm. YO-lakin tuunausta. Tänään kävimme kollega-ystävä-bändikaveri Silkkolan kanssa vetämässä tunnin barbieimprovisaation. Se oli sekä hauskaa, että viihdyttävää.

Tsekatkaa myös kyseisen kollegani tilausnäytelmäfirma Tähtiverstaan sivut.

Not really a proper accessory... He is so huge, bigger than a bag dog, actually a lot bigger than a cat by the age of 10 weeks. Vanja alone fills one's lap completely, as well as Paris Hilton's 3 mini dogs. So, a big boy he is.

I bought these super-glitter-slip-ons because I needed new pair of working shoes to day care. I could never wear those anywhere else. But kids love them, and I like them too! Dinsko, 34e. Socks are from Morticia.

Welcome!

It's springtime! Hooray! What does that mean? In shoes, it's the period between boots and ballerina shoes. Usually from April to May I go with a pair of funky sneakers. Last year I had black slip on sneakers with pink cat figures on them. They're still ok to walk. Not actual rags, but not tidy anymore, either. How about these? Perhaps I'd like them more with black and white squares instead of stripes.

It's an old photo, but at least our hairstyles are extremely nice. They still are, though.
He never hurries me when I'm getting my hair done, lucky me!
