Nail Deco

Hi Gals! I've been super busy this weekend giving my closet a makeover. :) Lots of hard work, bur definitely worth it! This huge project is almost complete, and pictures will be right around the corner!

In the meantime, I took a break on Saturday for some nail deco. A hard working Gal like me needs to look fabulous from head to toe!



I used a crazy glue pen (kind of like super glue or nail glue) and some flat back rhinestones I purchased from Micheal's Craft Store.

What do you think? Too many jewels or no?

Nails

Remember my post about the ebay purchase of a lash case?

My Dolly Wink lash case has arrived! Well, it got here a couple of weeks ago, I just haven't posted pics yet. So - here it is!! SO adorable; I love it!!

It's spacious and has a separate compartment for tiny individual lashes... or maybe even to soak your lashes in some cleanser?



Like I mentioned in my previous post, you can find lots of Dolly Wink products on ebay. Just type "Dolly Wink" in the search bar. You will be pleasantly surprised. :)

Shiritaki Noodles

I ordered some zero calorie and zero net carb noodles from MiracleNoodle.com to supplement my diet efforts. Supposedly... this is how asian people are skinny? I don't believe it. However, this seems to be a healthier alternative to pasta. So, I'll give it a shot!

All you do is rinse in a colander with cool water, then place in boiling water for a couple of minutes, and then you can eat it with your favorite sauce or stir-fry. I first tried this with marinara. The taste was definitely not like pasta, but it was OK. I think I need to try more dishes to see how it works out.

Anyway, here are some pics of the noodles and their info.




And for cute-ness, here is Allison in the packing box. :)


By the way... is anyone else out there on a diet before the holidays kick in?

Gal Meet - PIC HEAVY

Another Gal meet went down on Friday at Miller Outdoor Theater. We all had a mini picnic on the lawn and watched the Japanese Grand Taiko Festival! Tons of fun. :) Here's what I wore: blue cut half shirt, sequin leopard print tank, black pants, and pig tails with a bowler hat. I used some more "natural" looking lashes, but you can't see a thing behind my glasses. :( Lesson learned - bolder is better.



Here's the group posing for fun pics! You can check out more photos at our website: www.cherrygaltexas.webs.com. As you can tell, we had a blast! Hanging out and munching on asian snacks is so much fun with your Gals. :)



The Drum Festival was so amazing! And, Miller Outdoor Theater is free if you grab a spot on the hill. Can't wait until this happens next year! :)

MODE bun with scarf

Just a quick post to show off my MODE bun with Momoko's signature scarf turban style (totally trending).







It was great for a day at the zoo, because it kept my hair off my neck. Alas, my makeup did melt away. :( But I still felt pretty with my hair up so stylishly.

Popteen is GaGa for Gaga

That's right, Popteen is GaGa for Lady Gaga in September. I adore Lady Gaga's music and style :) so very much. Our queen of pop has a two page spread in Popteen's September issue. I love the model's black and pink lashes on the cover!



Fashion items I noticed were the big bow placed in hair, "bunny ears" headband, her MODE-kei style showcasing simple color combinations with clean lines/patterns, and interesting silhouettes (first GaGa scan), and a Rokku style with torn fishnets, cut message tee, and leather and studs (second Gaga scan).



I've also noted that (of course I'm late to the party) that bowler hats are trending.

...AND, I think I'm going to try and make a "bunny ears" headband on my own and offer you guys a tutorial! Would you be interested? ;)
