magical dreamer

one of the reasons I like going to the gym is choosing my gym outfit. Lorna Jane tank and Victoria's Secret cropped tights. But in all seriousness, working out gives me a mood high that is very addictive. Spinning class starts on Tuesday nights and I can't wait to attend. I wanted to share how the cat almost gave me a heart attack last night but maybe another time. 

Bakery Story got its sale, but I don't want to talk about it. I'm giving up on crates from now on. I've wasted so much money on buying crates in this game...this really has to stop.  I have a job interview coming up, but I decided to contact the place and let them know I won't be making it. This is not the right time for me to have a job what with my full time masters program. I aim to do well in my studies, and I can't do that and work out (needed stress/anxiety relief) and work and take care of my kids. I want to minimize time away from them while my husband is away. Something really amazing happened. Apparently we're going to Japan this summer! Not with my hubbub since he'll still be busy with his course, but with other family. I'm so surprised! We were talking about a different location entirely and suddenly the destination became Japan! Time to dig up my old research on things to do and see in Tokyo!  Went out with the kids this morning and did got

Finally, the heart host table! I've been eyeing it and wondering where it's from. I got 2. Had to get the cross my heart wall decor lol.  Excited to have found the Romantic Parl Brnch & Love Snow Globe. In love with those Love Birds and the Valentine Divider (hope we get some cute dividers on bakery story, too). The Greek items are lost in this sale lol. The Athens Pillar is interesting though. Wallpaper items are adorable, but after buying them I decided it's not the right look for my restaurant right now. Some old vday crates were brought back for reduced prices, too, and I got some of them.  Fondue for Two was brought back with this sale, I'm glad because I've been interested in it and got several of them. These are the parts required for the Greek Oven. Unfortunately, I don't have a screenshots of the recipes at the moment.  Thanks Storm8 for this amazing sale! Please give us an equally amazing sale on Bakery! You can do it, I believe in you!! 

I don't celebrate CNY, but I'll post what we got on Bakery Story for reference purposes.  The only thing I got was the appliance, as I'm always interested in new appliances.  There's a new part, the lunar knob. I've already built a couple of lunar ovens but still wanting to build more in order to master recipes faster. I'm still trying to master the health food drinks from the goals this month. Dragon tables & chairs. I'm not really interested as they don't really suit the overall theme that I tend to go for in my bakery. Restaurant Story got a Valentine's Day sale and I went crazy with shopping! Really hoping we get a sale for Bakery Story soon too. I already have a Valentine's Day wishlist for bakery!  Going to post about the update and sale on RS soon! 

I had my heart set on creating symmetrical layouts on RS and BS, and this weekend I did both. Right now I'll just post my RS layout though.  It's not 100% symmetrical obviously because the space is not a square (i.e. even on all sides). My appliances have an entire wall to themselves. Two identical wedding scenes, surrounded by tables.  The upper corner where the entrances are. I'm round of myself for creating a layout that's not pink! I have nothing against pink- I love pink! But RS lacks pinks and pastels in general so I had to do something else. 

Today I'm going to post both BS & RS layouts after I decided to go for a symmetrical layout. I'll start with BS in this post due to already taking screenshots. This is the full layout. I've placed all my appliances on the left. This is also the maximum expansion. I just couldn't help myself and ended up buying it. I've also pulled most things away from the wall so that I can use wall decor freely.  First of all, my identical feeding pens. I wish we had more options for doors. The only white doors available to me are the Christmas ones. I don't celebrate Christmas but I used them for a while because they were white. Each pen has 5 tables and chairs. Decided to try this way and see if the profits are okay.  I wasn't planning on using the sapphire wedding because I couldn't make it symmetrical, but I love having a wedding scene! But I think I did okay making its surroundings symmetrical. There were 2 decor items I really wanted to use but didn't hav

Both BS & RS got crates this week, which is not unexpected. But I do hope we get decor items next week.  The RS crate is the Chinese Celebration, but I haven't made a purchase and probably won't.  Winter Wedding Crate is what BS got. Some people are upset because it's a recycled theme from RS, exactly like the health food goals, but I am glad it means I get a chance to have a winter wedding on BS, too, though I'm not planning to go crazy on crates anymore.  I accidentally made a purchase when the pop up first showed up and got the snowy bride.  If memory serves she's either a 3rd or 2nd prize, but I'm guessing probably 3rd. This is how she looks like close up, but it's weird to have a lone bride I think.  So I probably won't use her for the time being. Speaking of which, I'm thinking of removing the wedding scene from my bakery in favor of more feeding pens. But I'm not 100% sure yet. I guess we'll see. 

Back to my parents place, that is. I couldn't stand the house without my hubby. I miss him so much.  One kid is watching Barney at the moment and the other is whining in my lap, he wants to sleep but is fighting it ever so hard. I bust out my extra bottle of lush's Snow Fairy last night for the kids' bath. My daughter really loves it. They both smell like candy now! Started playing Xenoblade Chronicles X on my brother's wii u. Doubt I'll manage to play much though as it is starting off really depressing to me. But we'll see, maybe it'll be fun.

I'm not done with this goal on Bakery Story but I'll share what we got with the exception of appliances and share my thoughts on them.  Juicy tables & chairs. They don't suit my preferred decor but I can see myself using them in the future along with some other currently available items. Wall decor is the fruity neon sign. Again a bit too neon for me. The reason I have 2 is that they're needed for the goals.  The healthy baker is very cute and I'm definitely planning to use it for my next remodel probably in a month or so (if I have time). But I already bought 2 for the goal. Planning a more symmetrical layout than my current! The locked by goal items are the juice sampler, new bike & yoga class. I've yet to unlock the yoga class though. Still have many hours of making drinks to go. The wallpaper (fruit & veg) and floor tile (gold star) are both very cute. I can see myself using both in the future but I wish they'd release that star in pastels! T
