Journals Collection (?)

I didn't realize I had that much journals and notebooks already in my possession. I've approximately consumed thirteen diaries and journals since I began writing in fifth grade and they are all kept in a box on the second floor of our house because we are fixing the floorboards as of now.

Here are just some of the unkept journals.

Just sharing...

I'm a sucker for lined paper in hard binding...

This was a present last Christmas by someone really special 


Shadow with lotsadoodley-doo 


And scraps and pieces of what happened to me this year


I yet have to decide what to do with this yellow thingy... 


With this divider inside...


The blue panda smiles like creepy. also a gift from a friend


With different page designs at every flip


Some more 


And this planner is just so heavy


With cartoon-like divider inside


These are all presents really, and people already know that gifting me is easy, either it's books or journals...

Hahaha...

Have a great weekend everyone!

Bloggers Chit Chat with Yuri! (Insert Hugs Here)

Surprise, surprise! I got to chit chat with the ever blooming, super friendly Yuri Choi! Yuri looked absolutely fresh this morning, and I just had to tell him as his follower that:
  1. I definitely love his blogger header, who doesn't? It's so minimalist and so Asian!
  2. He looks good despite a mishap with a facial product he tried, read here
  3. It's nice to accidentally meet, knowing that we both go home to the West Coast.

Don't you just adore a smile from Yuri? Who doesn't love him?

On another note, I was also invited by a representative of the British Embassy this morning with a meet and greet. They gave those in attendance these and mini haul photos to follow:

Have a great Friday everyone!

Peeling Skin X Giveaway

I haven't done much writing last week except for post some giveaway alerts. But I have some good news for you though.

I've just recently fallen in love with Human Nature's new Massage Oil, it has Orange, Lemongrass and Lavender and it's very soothing. I am going to post the review this week because I've been stressed out lately.

I've been using it on my annoying, peeling skin and I might show you as soon as the effects show. There is some noted improvement though.


It smells really good, promise and it's non-sticky and is an excellent moisturizer. I can use up the entire bottle soon enough!
