Hair stylin~

I've never really been particularly interested in hairstyles other than what my hair will look like after a cut and without styling, but because my hair is getting pretty long now I've become more interested.
I tried out this style because it seemed easy enough. Just put a headband on and start tucking hair. It wasn't as easy as I thought it would be, but it looked great once I got the hang of it!

The front looked a lot better than the back.

I'm looking forward to trying out more styles and also to checking out wigs to give myself more of a "full head of hair" look. So much so that my Amazon wishlist has about 10 or so wigs in it (all but 1 under $10 too).
I'm also hoping that I get the hang of it and it opens me up to cosplaying as well!

A turkey among the flowers

The conversation was favorite flowers. My husband had forgotten mine and he tried to trick me into thinking he had a favorite, but I knew he didn't. Then we just started talking about flowers and which ones he liked. I forgot the name of the ones he was talking about. Now I only remember the turkey.

Which one of these is not like the others!

DiY body care

Once I got my computer back I also got back into craftgawker and stylegawker and all those gawks. And also into health and body care. I had been scouring magazines for the best face/body/hair/etc... care because... really I think I was bored. But that aside, I found some pretty easy DiY self that I was happy to try out. Most of the ideas are from here: Paula Parrish blog
Grocery list and also instructions.
I'm glad that I've been saving jars for no real reason. Here's the "cellulite scrub" though I feel like I use it less for actual cellulite and more for the smell. Haha. 

Once there were olives. Now only coffee.

Trying out DnD!


We finally got some version of DnD recently. We wanted to get it before moving to Turkey, but I forget what happened and we just didn't. So we saw some version of it at the store here and decided to get it because it seemed like a good one to start with.

My warriors!
I actually liked it minus the fact that I had to be strategic and fight against someone else. I guess I just don't like confrontation. My husband reassures me though that not all DnD is like this and if we buy another set like the one we have now, we can play it a different way. 
We'll see.

Boop!

The game that didn't get away

When I was younger I used to play video games pretty often. As I've gotten older though, different priorities took place and playing video games fell by the wayside. If anything I'm much more into MMORPGs now (which still isn't saying much) because they make me feel connected to other people. Standalone console games don't usually have this option, although there are a great number of games which feature multiplayer options. The problem with this is that I'm not seeking friendly opposition or team work which I would prefer over over opposition. The thing that appeals to me in MMORPGs is just the simple fact that other people are around and that they aren't just NPCs. I just really enjoy knowing that there are other people are out there doing their own thing. 

Anyway, in simply growing up I was able to pinpoint certain genres and games that I enjoy. One is fighting. The other is... well what Wiki tells me is "community simulation." And by that I mean Animal Crossing. Super Smash Bros Melee and Animal Crossing have created very fond memories for me and so I've always looked forward to new versions of them. Ironically, I didn't really enjoy the Wii versions of both of them (though I attribute this to having people to play with with the Gamecube versions and not the Wii versions (basically I was lonely)). So when I found out about the 3DS version of Animal Crossing coming, I was pretty excited. And really that's saying a lot as I don't get excited for much. My husband ordered it and thus became Mayor. Myself, I'm just a citizen. But that's fine with me as part of the problem I have with games is the increasing number of options some have. I'm glad I'm enjoying it as much as I am and am able to contribute to the game in a different way (financially haha) than just being Mayor and picking the next project or something.

My favorite neighbor so far is Ken, a black rooster.
Suuuuure...
Followed by a hamster.
Wait, did he say cake?!?
Of course, not being the only one playing makes me happy as this means that there's someone else doing their own thing! Even if I know what that thing is... 
Yup, I'm pretty simple in my entertainment, hahah!
I'm due for a round of fishing now.
