It Gets Chilly

Image
Unfortunately I don't have date stamps on my screenshots (is there an option to do that even?) so I don't know when exactly this happened but my demon hunter has been 110 for a while now and doing world quests. It's been really fun and for the first time ever I am kind of enjoying playing tank!

Out of the Box

If nothing screams desperate, I do. I've started looking around for meal replacement shakes and found this one from 310 Nutrition . At this point I'm willing to try anything since my weight has stagnated for months now despite my dietary changes and workouts. Been feeling really down about it. Thinking of ordering these and seeing if they help. I already never know what to eat for lunch so I figure if I have one in the morning and push my breakfast to lunch and have a salad at night it might work? 

Just Clawful

World of Warcraft had connectivity issues for me the past couple of days...so I've been playing Hearthstone instead. I reached rank 19 pretty quickly which is all I wanted really so I could get this month's card back. But now that wow is working again I'm back to that. Been really sick since yesterday and still feel even worse today. it's almost hard to breath now too. I hope it passes really fast as I miss being active.

Pink for October

Image
I was so sure I posted about today's BS update preview but I guess I didn't. It's so refreshing for me to see a crate in these colors and theme. Fall is a hard season for me to look at for long. And I would love it if my bakery could be pink for October! October is breast cancer awareness month after all.

Noblesse Oblige

I'm thinking of getting my own car more often now. I had to drive the huge Armada to get dd from school and the ride would have been way more comfortable if I had my own little car to drive. Here are my favorite combinations of exteriors and interiors: Obsidian. I always thought I'd get a white car but it seems 80% of cars we see on the street are white. The color obsidian sounds really cool, almost like it is a description of dragon scales. The obsidian dragon, hehe. Nebula Gray Pearl is also a cool sounding color. I like gray for a car, too.  This interior combination is called parchment leather matte bamboo trim. This is the one that I saw in person I believe. It's lovely because there are 3 colors there, the parchment, the dark brown and the bamboo trim.  This is called noble brown with matte linear dark mocha wood trim. I loved this one even without seeing the other one. I love dark brown and calling it noble brown makes it seem like it&#

Think Pink

I am so determined to lose weight. My belly feels hideous...i feel hideous. I lost weight and regained fitness much faster after having dd even though after ds I went back to the gym 6 weeks after the birth. Ds is now almost 18 months and I'm still overweight, still have a belly hanging and fat all over my body.  Tired of seeing slow or no results. People say it's normal but it's not normal for me. After dd I saw quick results in 4 months whereas right now I have a much better level of fitness. I wonder what's causing this? The bc pills? the anti-depressant? The asthma medication I went on for a month in April? I have no idea. Guess it means whatever the reason I just need to work harder to get past this.

Been looking for these lovely bucket bag by Mansur Gavriel (pic from net-a-porter) and finally found them. it's been years since I've tried ordering anything from there...hope that if I do order, it's accepted.

Saw this beautiful satin jewelry box from Miu Miu at net-a-porter a while back. I don't actually need a new jewelry box nor do i plan on purchasing it, but it was too pretty not to be posted on my blog.  This post isn't actually a happy one. yesterday I heard that my sister is going to Japan next week. I had a feeling she had travel plans coming up but she tends to tiptoe these subjects around me because (I assume) she knows my pain and struggles.  My sister's ability to travel wasn't taken from me. It was hers to begin with. so it's not like I feel that my opportunities were taken away or anything like that. But it doesn't make it any easier to deal with. Why is it that going out to eat or shop and take trips comes to me so much than it does others? Other people's struggles seem to be: -do my partner and I have the same days off so we can travel together? -should we take the kids or leave them with grandparents? -which restaurant sh

What happens next?

Made some minor changes to my September layout after having finished this month's goals. I aim to only change it after October's goals. I will be too busy anyway. 

Costumes & Sets

It's time to post my fall layout. I'm not a fall person as I'm not a fan of orange but it's a beautiful season that I hope to experience one day.

The Porsche Cayenne...another option for me. It doesn't look as attractive to me as the Lexus RX does, but it's still a good option I think. They do say European cars have more costly maintenance than Japanese ones. I think once I know how much money I do have an if my business does pick up, I will go and test drive both cars. My current usable cars are the Toyota Prado and the Nissan Armada (this is the one I have the kids' seats installed in) and both are comfortable. But I would love to have one of my own, one that I chose myself. When the time comes I think I'll also check out the BMW x5, I heard that it's possible to order it as a 7 seater but I'm not totally sure as I haven't actually gone to the dealership myself, so we'll see.

No One

Despite being finished for a long time now, I decided it was time for me to talk about this fragrance! I selected it after having it recommended by my sister who is like a perfume nose in the making.  At first the perfume seems very masculine probably due to the cedar, but then I start noticing the rose note and musk which instantly makes it very feminine to me. It is a very unique scent in my opinion, and definitely need to readd it to my collection in the future. 

The Gift

Had my riding lesson this morning and feel so worn out that I don't think I can play WoW. So I decided to continue the Hearthstone expansion that I've been setting aside for a while now. I've stopped at Julianne because Romula beats me up!! However, I just discovered this past game that he stops attacking if your minions would kill him if he attacks them. Don't know if it's a fluke or what but once I got past the stage of being constantly beaten up to near death I managed to win the game! My riding lesson went great, by the way. I'm getting sick but I'm glad I forced myself to go. I am definitely way too unfit to do much in a lesson but it went well. I rode one of my favorite horses but apparently in recent years no one's been riding him properly and he only does groom-led beginner lessons. It's probably because horses, especially riding school horses, tend to test their rider. So they learned that if they stop and the beginner rider gets fed up

Look who I found while questing! She was in that first area I started in, Stormheim or something like that. Sure she's a red target, but I actually like Sylvanas. I miss being Horde.

Dark Wings & Dark Words

I wasn't planning to play Legion, as I've been feeling like WoW is no longer an interesting game to me. However, I saw DH playing and felt like there was something catching about it. I decided to give it a try. While playing I mentioned that the game's look & feel reminds me of Icecrown Citadel. He said, well, the same team that worked on the Lich King expansion worked on Legion. Since then, I was hooked. The same nostalgic elements can be seen in the maps I feel. And there are many changes to the game, it definitely makes it more suited for a casual player like myself. My Demon Hunter Karibelle's debut into the world of Azeroth!

I still really like my current layout in Bakery Story. But at the same time, I want to do a new layout simply because it's interesting to do so. I like seeing how the design will turn out because I rarely think of how it will end up. Maybe something symmetrical next time. 

Nothing but Blue Skies

Well, it finally happened. I fell in love with a car. The Lexus RX. Below is the Lexus RX h but unfortunately my dealership doesn't have the hybrid in stock at the moment. This is not the right time for a new car unfortunately. Although I did reserve the regular full option Lexus RX but I'm afraid I'm going to have to go and have my reservation refunded. Car salesmen are so pushy, though!! However, I think this other car below is more useful for me... because I have a family and car seats and strollers and might have some more babies in the future, I do need a car my family can grow into. The Lexus GX, unfortunately doesn't come in hybrid at all. My family has a Toyota Prado that they can let me use whenever I need to. I guess it's going to be good practice until it's time for me to purchase my own!
