My Summer So Far...



http://www.mirukuma.com/

Hey guys!


Wow its been a while again, gommenasai! >.< But i have had the most amazing summer ever and i wanted to share it with you guys! First off, as most of you know, i went to Turkey at the beginning of July, (my tan has faded, nooo! T-T) but it was absolutely amazing! Have any of you ever been to Turkey? If not i totally recommend you go, it is like heaven there!~ total bliss and the people are so friendly! Me and my friend visited a place called Icmeler, such a friendly and beautiful place! Here are soe piccies of what went on there: I have such good memories of the place now, i will never forget what an amazing time i had!

http://www.mirukuma.com/

I also went to see JLS live with my sisters as i told you in the post before!~ They put on an awesome show, and as the first live concert i have ever seen i was pretty impressed!
Have any of you gever been to see a concert? If so, who was it? =)



You cant see them well, they are a group of 4 guys if any one doesnt know, here they are:


They are pretty cool, but you know me! Im more in to my K-Pop so they are not my favourtite band or anything, my younger sister is crazy about these guys though! n_n

http://www.mirukuma.com/

I have been shopping soo much recently! Well actually i havent spent a penny, but for some reason my mum must be in a good mood or something but she took me shopping with my younger sister and bought a whole heap of clothes! ^o^ So much so i have no space in my wardrobe anymore! >.<

So recently something else i purchased, is a dress from the designer brand, Yumi!
Not only are they the cutest and amazingly quality clothing, they are a Japanese brand!~ ^___^ Ahh! Im in love!
But here in the UK, as Yumi is a designer brand its pretty expensive, it was totally lucky to come accross 'House Of Fraser' having a sale! I even bought a skirt as the price was soo good! Click HERE to go to the sale! Its still happening!

So here is the dress i bought:


It has got to be one of my favourite things i own ever! Its just so cute and lacey! n_n Who else loves Yumi?


If you probably noticed in the picture, i have had my fringe/bangs cut! If you havent seen my facebook then this is how it now looks:


I really like this look! Its very different to what i had as my fringe was side swept, but i really like this change ^_^ If it grows out i will have a side fringe again, i just hope i can have it cut often to keep it nice and short how it is in the picture =)
Its great to have a change sometimes!

http://www.mirukuma.com/

Now, i am working full time to earn money and keep myself occupied during the summer holidays. Its pretty good as i work early in the morning until early afternoon so it still gives me time to myself, but i find myself so busy with so many things sometimes i cant believe how fast the day goes! I plan out what i am to do when i get home and i only have time to do one or two things! Its crazy how fast time flies!~

Im glad i finally had a chance to update my blog though! I have missed blogging! *_*

I will only be working until mid September as thats when Uni starts, when do you go back to school or college? Or are you already there? I dont know how schooling works in other countried, but i find other countries education policies so interesting! I dont know why...

Results on the 19th August! So close now... *Shudders at the thought*

http://www.mirukuma.com/

So, i think thats about all i have to tell you! If you guys have any requests for videos feel free to let me know! Again, i just want to say thank you for all your support!~ I truly appreciate each and every one of you!

I have reached over 50 followers on my blog!^_^ I was so happy when i saw this!~ I will totally have to have a mini giveaway for all my lovely blog followers soon! Keep a look out for that!

Have an amazing week every one! And stay beautiful!
Much Love,
Alice

Lots of new things!

http://www.mirukuma.com/


Hello guys!

Long time no blogging! I got fed up of looking at the same blog page again and again so i decided to take some time out and do something about it!

So its been a while, and a lot has happened in these past few weeks! As i think every one knows, at the moment i am studying for my exams which is proving to be a bit of a difficulty, but im willing to achieve my dream in life so i know my exams are just one hurdle i need to get past in order to continue along my journey for my dream! Valentines Peep! Adopt your own peep from tiny-star.net! (Which is if you dont know, ending up in Japan one day with a career in the film industry as well as a lot of other little things...)
You're probably thinking im living in a fairy tale world, but i believe in always putting your best efforts in now, to reap the rewards later!



http://www.mirukuma.com/



As for other little things that i've been up to! Recently i made a huge haul from an asian clothing website and bought lots of cute clothes!! ^__^

Here are a few of the items i bought... I think there were over 10 all together..!


I love this really cute dress! I know the picture is really bad quality, i apologise, u really need a new camera! >.<; But it has lace detail and if you dont know, this season im so in to lace, frills, bows and pink things!! Hehe! ^_^ This dress is a little more casual. But it can easily be dressed up with accessories and high heels!



Yey frills! ^_^ This makes this top so cute, and it has really nice detail to it which you probably cant see in the picture, but its so pretty and feminine!



This top is something a bit different, and i bought it especially for going on holiday to Turkey with my best friend from school! ^_^ We both thought it would be great just to wear over our bikinis (yes we both got one) and its really thin so it will be great to take on the boat trip we are planning on going on!



I really like this dress! I thought it was so lovely because i dont have that many purple clothes, its cute for summer and also its a dress by the make Yumi! I LOVE Yumi clothing so much! Its adorable! ♥



And the last thing im showing you guys is this little skirt, its pink and layerd!



I would totally love to buy something from LizLisa... Better get saving for some cute lolita clothes!

The website i bought these clothes from is here:
http://www.causewaymall.com/shop/



http://www.mirukuma.com/



As well s buying clothes, something im really in to recently is nail art! I bought this little container with rhinestones in so cheapl6y from ebay, and they are brilliant! They come in so many colours!


Ok -_- so i have a really scratched and stained desk, i really need a new one!
Anyway, this is amazing becuase i got it from ebay, and this cute little design here

I love little simple things like this, its so girly! And i've never had nails to decorate so im finding it really fun creating little designs for my nails, i may have to do a video on this! ^_^ This little design has stayed on my nails for days if you use top coat to stick them on, amazing right?!


http://www.mirukuma.com/


Also! I decided to decorate my phone! Ok, well i didnt decorate it, i kinda cheated and bought a case for my phone... But i think this is such a gorgeous case, i couldnt pass up the opportunity to have it!


What do you think? =)


http://www.mirukuma.com/


One last thing then!

I ordered some more lovely handmade hair accessories from Tiffany and her shop 'Little Kawaii Things' Heres what i bought, but i forgot to add in my donut phone charm >.<


Bows!! Man i love them so much, so girly!! And not to mention the cutest things ever.. She was kind enough to send me the little green clip you can see in there, as she bought a pack of two she sent me one so we can have matching ones in our YouTube videos ^_^ Hehe! So sweet of her!
Hand made items are awesome, becuase you can see the love and care people put in to their products, especially Tiffany, i still have all of the other hair accessories i ordered from her before, her products are such good quality!!

I ordered this necklace from her too. A close up of the picture reveals the message in the bottle, its such a cute style, and you can even custom design everything she makes!


Truly adorable!


So i think thats about it for now! I hope every one is well, and please visit my facebook if you are not a follower already!

Thank you, i really appreciate it! ^_^

Take care!
Much Love,

Meeting with other Gurus!



Hey my lovlies!

So its been a little while..>.< Im sorry! Its recently been spring break and i've been so busy doing many things! I met up with two gurus from YouTube who are also from the UK and we had soo much fun! Both girls are so lovely and unique in their own way, they were both so much fun! My newest update video says it all though, it will be in the sidebar if you want to watch it! ^_^
What have you guys been up to recently? =)

<3

This is a picture of Kelly (YouTube name KellyXSunshineDrops) and I at my hometown, we went shopping for the day and bought some really cute things! n_n My nost recent update video explains everything! She also drew me a gorgeous picture of me! She is so talented and cute!! Thank you Kelly!

Also, i met with Jessica who is also on YouTube (DazzleDust08), and I visited her home town and we also went shopping and we went to the cinema to see the film 'Remember Me'. Have any of you guys seen it? =) It stars Robert Pattinson!(For all of hs fans!) haha~ XD

<3

This is us, and also a picture here in the cinema:


^_^

We had a huge popcorn but couldnt finish it all! >.<
Jessica is so friendly, cute and down to earth! She is also soo easy to get on with! I felt nervous before meeting, and i felt perfectly fine within a few minutes! hehe! Both of these gorgeous girlies are so lovely!

If you havent visited their YouTube pages yet, please do!

A little while a go as well i posted a video inspired by an Ulzzang look, i never got round to posting a blog post about it.. Sorry about that! But basically this is the look:



I love earmuffs! They are such a cute accessory! Not that i can wear them in the spring and summer seasons hehe.. XD




I LOVE this look and i have started wearing it every day! But for my eyes i do a different design every day! Yes every day! I have been pretty creative with my make up and this look... I base my eyeshadow colours on my mood or by what colour clothes i wear. (All thanks to the costal scents palette!) I will be doing a few more tutorials on eyeshadow looks inspired by the Ulzzang look! ^_^ Do you guys like it? And also because i wear my make up like this every day... does that make me an Ulzzang? =)

I really like the contacts too, i think they are a nice effect but of course i dont wear them every day!


~ ~ ~


Again, as you probably all know i have had my hair cut and im loving it! The thing is i havent taken any pictures of it so i cant post them... But i've had lots of people say they like it and it makes me so happy to know that! Thank you every one!


~ ~ ~


Ahh I passed over 1000 subbies on YouTube.. WOW! O.o What can i say! I am so shocked so many people like to watch my videos! I've been on YouTube for about 5 months now so i am very happy and so grateful i reached 1000 so fast, its an amazing feeling knowing i have so many supporters, there are so many wonderful people on YouTube, and i must say i have learnt so much and i think YouTube has changed my life! (As crazy as that sounds) Obviously not in a dramatic way... But I've learnt so many things from people, its a place to really understand people from all over the world! And i've met so many people with similar interests and so manykind people who are really supporting me closely, there are too many to name! But you know who you are and i love you to bits! ^_^ <3

I have so many more exciting ideas for videos coming up so i really look forward to having time to get them recorded!


~ ~ ~


One more thing also, in my last post i was having worries about what do do about choosing the right uni, and in the end i did decide on the University i want to go to ^_^ Im happy all the decision making is over! For personal reasons im not going to say the university.. Sorry guys!

I hope every one is well!
All the best!
Much Love,
Alice

So i think Spring has finally arrived in England... Well there have been a few sunny days, but more so rain and coldness still... Ohh i really dislike English weather seriously T-T I love the sun and heat the most, i'm a summer girl! And I live in a country where both Spring and Summer seem to last only 3-4 months out of the twelve! If that... ~_~

I did do a Spring look inspired by all the lovely colours of spring though! ^_^ if you haven't seen it already you can see it in the sidebar!

~ ~ ~

I'm really happy to say all my accessories have arrived for my next make up look, i really can't want to create it and show you all so i hope you will enjoy it! I hope for it to be up sometime this week/next weekend. =)


~ ~ ~


I also bought a new dress recently which i absolutely LOVE! So i might do a video on 'going out' looks or outfits =) What do you think?

Oh, speaking of new things, i also have a new mobile phone ^_^ I love it! Some of you may recognise it from somewhere...



Yes, its a
Samsung Genio Touch! I love mobile phones... How sad of me... -_-; but i think they complete a persons style, thats why i had to have this baby! Its small and cute and it comes in PINK!! PInk! Wowiee!! ^___^
I saw it on the drama 'You're Beautiful' and fell in love with it so i had to have it...

Even 2PM are endorsed it! O.o


Wooooooow..!~~ I love 2PM ^_^ I love so many K-Pop groups...


~ ~ ~


Ok... One last thing, exams are approaching fast! Nooo! >.< So i have a lot of revision to do before then... I may be a little busy, but i will try not to let it affect my videos and things. =)

I also have to choose the university i want to go to now, all of them have replied to me and i have to choose which one i will go to out of my two favourites, its such a difficult choice... Because i love them both, but there are pros and cons for both... What do i do? T-T Any advice?


Hope all of you are doing well!
Take care and enjoy Spring to the fullest!
Much love for you all!

Phobias...

Hello everyone!

So i dont know about you... But i know i have a really bad phobia, i think its called 'Glossophobia' which means you have the fear of public speaking. I know for a fact i have this!!

I have a presentation which is coming up faster than i can imagine and i am not prepared at all! Ok so its next friday, however i haven't even made the presentation yet because every time i sit at the computer and get motivated to do it i just want to cry because of how scared i am of doing this presentation! T-T

I know so many people are scared of standing in front of people and talking, but there are going to be so many people there, and i am not a confident person when it comes to talking in front of people... I know that might sound a bit strange because i am on Youtube so i can't possibly be shy, but talking to a camera is a lot easier than having all eyes staring at you expecting a good presentation... Oh my god i am so scared guys!! T-T
Does any one have any advice how i can conquer my fear of this?? Has any one ever been in this situation?

The presentation has to be around 15- 30 minutes, thats one hell of a long one! Its about a topic which i chose, so i guess im confident in that respect. Its actually about Japanese schooling and the reason for underachievement. I had to write a 6000 word essay on it and now this... -_-;

I hope maybe you guys could give me some words of wisdom! ^_^

~ ~ ~

On youtube i have posted my newest video which is my 500 subscribers giveaway!! (if its not there yet, it will be very soon!) And im so happy to have reacherd over 500 yey! So i hope you will check it out!!

Here are the prizes for you people who want a closer look!
The girls prize: Plus Japanese goodies! ^_^



The boys prize: Plus Japanese sweeties too!


~ ~ ~

Also as for the giveaway on my blog for all my lovely followers, i am just waiting for the giveaway prizes to arrive as i had to order them =)

I hope every one is having a wonderful week, unlike me full of panic and fear for next week!
I am also getting my grades tomorrow for the January exams i did... Im so nervous!! >.<

Much Love everyone!
Alice

Most recent update: You're Beautiful, make up and Twitter!

Hey girlies!

Thank you for reading! Hehe!~

So recently with school i have been really motivated to do all my school work because as a reward i treat myself to watching the drama 'Youre Beautiful'! Unfortunately i have almost finished it now... =( I dont ever want it t
o end! Im praying there is a Season two!! ^__^



If you haven't seen this drama yet i DEFINITELY recommend you watch it! n_n Trust me, its not to be missed! I am in love with it! <3

So its basically about these guys, and girl:


From left to right: Kang Shin Woo, Hyung Tae Kyung, Go Mi Nam (girl), Jeremy.

Its about the girl (Go Mi Nyu) pretending to be her brother (because he is in hospital) and entering the band Ajell. She is only there for a limited time however, until her brother can join. Sorry i cant explain it well!

Aren't they so good looking? The guys i mean, i am soo for Shin Woo! I must say i loved all the guys in this, but Shin Woo is my favourite.. <3 Why does it have to be the good guys that treat the girl so nicely that get turned away... It makes me feel so sad...
But this story has endless excitement, twists, turns and love. It will make you addicted to it completely!

If you've seen it, what do you think? =) And whos your favourite character?

I'm thinking when i finish this drama im going to miss it too much... Does any one have an recommendations of more amazing dramas similar to this one or Hana Yori Dango? (Japanese version of Boys Over Flowers) These two dramas are my all time favourites...


~ ~ ~


I'm thinking because i almost have 20 followers that i might have a mini giveaway just to say thank you! ^_^ What do you think? It will only be mini, like some little cute things to give away, but im just so appreciative, i dont know how to repay you all!

Also, on Youtube im thinking of having a contest if i reach 500 subbies, i already have an idea for the prize too ^_^ Hehe!~


~ ~ ~


I now have Twitter ^_^ that i actually use hehe!
I update regularly!

http://twitter.com/alicechan9


~ ~ ~


I hope to do another make up tutorial on Youtube soon as i seem to be lacking them these days!
I have so many requests to get through! ^_^ But i love requests hehe!


~ ~ ~


I also have a new favourite product!!

Its Max Factor Masterpiece
High Definition Mascara:



it is simply AMAZING for natural looking eyes. You know me right? I'm a 'natural' make up person, so i love my subtle looks! This mascara is perfect!! The brush is not really a brush, it is like little soft plastic 'spikes' (haha!~ XD) so this mascara does not clump at all! Even if you try its impossible to make your lashes clump and thats why i love it so much! It applies the mascara evenly creating subtle, natural looking lashes. Amazing!

Each one of these is worth around £8-£10, and i got 4 from ebay for £7.50! I feel so lucky!! n_n A very good deal! Hehe!~


So yeah, thats my update for now! Might just watch another episode of You're Beautiful before sleeping ;) hehe!

Take care every one!
And again, thank you for taking your time to read my blog, it means a lot! ^_^
o(^_^)o *hugs!*
Much Love,
Alice
