Emilie's beauty tips #1 (for face)

Okay so Today I will lay out what I do to improve my facial features!

First up, is for my teeth. I had 2 years of Orthodontistry in my early teens which I am trying not to repeat! So after experimenting with lip piercings, one of my teeth on the bottom row got pushed back and I really regret having facial piercings as my braces were very painful. T__T 

So back in November, you may remember I visited Erotica with Alex. We had our teeth whitened and since then, 3 times a week (usually) I have been brushing with...

Eucryl toothpowder

(picture taken from look-flyingmonkeys blog because mine turned out bad)

I have to say, this stuff REALLY works. My grandparents used to use this and 'Arm&Hammer' toothpowder but I don't think that brand makes powder any more. 

Instructions say just to use it ontop of normal brushing - and the results are really good. I recommend this highly if anyone wants to give it a go!

Remember to brush in a circular motion to avoid gum damage 8D

My next item, is an old favourite for nearly everything skin related

Sudocrem

You can clearly see the uses for it on the front, and it works quite well for all of these things. 

Yesterday I burnt my face at the tanning salon, so when I got home, I rubbed some of this onto the burnt area and this morning it's reduced considerably! I will go on a bed tonight with a cloth over my face to be careful. 

I used to use it for spots, I think this works pretty well if you get random spots on your body from exercise or stress, on your face, it can work but repeated use without any other moisturiser can sometimes leave your face puffy and/or swollen in the morning and the skin dry. 

Make sure if you use this on your face, to keep to a regular skin routine with a moisturising lotion and toner after you remove your makeup each night. 

If you're purse is a little empty, Boots has a fantastic + cheap range here:

I use the Moisturising Lotion & Facial Toner in this range.

The scrub and mask in this range are also very refreshing! Also, my old manager at Starbucks used to use the eye gel at night, and it worked for him! Go and have a try of these!

All these products mentioned are well under £5 - so it won't break the bank to keep you looking beautiful!

THE NEWS: I'M STAYING IN JAPAN!

I GOT MY VISA!!!!!!

So this is my good news!!! I went to London yesterday to visit the Japanese Embassy to collect my passport, which as I am glad now, actually had the Visa inside! 

This is what they look like:

pretty cute eh?? I love the pink and red colours with the Sakura! 

My wonderful friend Simone came with me to calm my nerves, and afterward we went to Carnaby street to look in various shops. 

We went to Irregular Choice (such a cool shoe shop!) and I found this handsome fellow

Isn't he cute?? 

We took some pictures with him actually on my phone.

As you can see though, he unfortunately covers the bottom of my lens... 

I CAN FORGIVE HIM.

Anyone wanna give him a name btw?? XD

Then we met up with Dodo and Sam, wandering around the V&A and Natural History Museum. 

No pictures were taken until we all went to....

WEATHERSPOONS. YAY.

(these were actually our 2nd round of pitchers but we liked the colours...)

Then it was home time. But I am so over the moon about everything, and I will be finally following my dream, trying to make my career out in Japan. \(; ^ ;)/

Tanning + Pizza

YO BITCHEZ!

So, last week + this weekend gone were pretty eventful, if I do say so myself.

Friday was 'Star Wars Day' which I had no idea about until Darth Vader and some Storm Troopers, casually WANDERED THROUGH MY OFFICE.... 

*le gasp*

(I love working here. lol.)

One of my collegues, Fran brought in Oreo Cupcakes that his gf had made. So I bought one. Totally worth it:

It was amazing. 

Friday night, Alex came round and we ordered some Domino's to celebrate. After some Rekorderlig I decided to take a seductive pizza-eating photo...

lovely Anchovy, Tuna pizza with sun-dried tomatoes~ <3 

In the morning of Friday, I also went tanning at my new tanning salon, 'Sun Chic'. 

It's good because they have very new, high-tech machines, and I have to walk 30 mins to get there which will make me tan more! 

I like this stand-up one because it has a radio in it! how cool is that?

I am using this tanning lotion, 'Dark Start' from Power Tan , which seems to have worked this week, lets hope I go really dark brown!

 On Saturday, I went to visit my brother(from another mother) and we went to have lunch at this Japanese restaurant, E-kagen. It was wonderful food and they even had Unagi sushi! so delicious!

I haven't posted pictures of anyone yet just in case they didn't want anything up on here!

I also dyed Alex's hair Blonde, in preparation for his Silver/Grey hair in a few weeks.

Doesn't he look so nice?? 

I took this photo of us too:

That day I went for 'Imouto-kei'. With cute clothing style and some of my hair in a hair-band. haha. 

We also went to dinner at this amazing place called 'Foodilic'.

It's a super-healthy all-you-can-eat where there are a few meat main courses, and everything else is Veggie-friendly!

Obviously, we had all the veggies! it's only £6.45 for the food with drinks priced separately!

(I am not a pig, Alex had 3 plates! ^_^; lol)

Everyone's gone now, so I am left to my own devices

Thursday is upon us now! I wonder what this news will be?? <3

Mountains of Sushi

Why hello~ 

So the big secret that I keep mentioning briefly will be released next Thursday evening, hopefully I shall be baring good news, but for the mean time I am blogging about the weekend just gone + have a couple other blogs lined up! 

Celebrating the creation of Alex's new company (more to come soon!) Alex, Fin, Dominic and myself had a sorta "double-date" weekend (lol) with a 3 day Sushi Party! 

There were THREE whole layers of sushi in this cardboard box, which kept us full and satisfied all weekend lol. (I want it all again....) 

On the Saturday we all headed into town to have lunch and go see...

THE AVENGERS~! YAAAAAY

It was fantastic! Long but never boring, we viewed the 2D "normal" version as none of us are a fan of 3D cinema per say. 

I'd deffo see it again but Odeon costs way too much and I want to save my "Premiere Points" on Dark Shadows!

Just a little update to keep you entertained for now! 

I leave you with the question:

who is your favourite 'Avenger'??

(Mine is Tony Stark/Iron Man! <3)

A trip to rainy London + GETS~

Hey readers <3 

How is everyone today? 

On Thursday it was my rota day at Work, so I took a trip up to London to visit friends in the pouring rain - but it didn't stop us from having a grand ol' time. 

Now, there are not that many pictures of people, because we all looked a bit soggy at the end of the day. 

I had to get some bits done, but I shortly went to meet my lovely fashionable friends Sam & Chani.

Black Sesame bubble tea and Kumquat Bubble tea (that was vile and salty...)

Sam & Chani both originally got the Kumquat juice and so we managed to swap it for Taro and Mango flavours! Much better!

Then towards the end of the day, we met up with Dodo~ and tried Stalking Nicki Minaj outside the W hotel in Picadilly. We got caught in a thunderstorm though, so we all trotted off to Seoul Bakery and had dinner. Which we didn't manage to take photos of as we were a tad ravenous. XD

Here are some cakes though that we shared in Golden Gate.

 My Gets for the day!

Some earrings from the Oxford Street Topshop!

And Doudou wore this T-shirt and so we ran to Uniqlo to get me one also HAHA. It comes with a free hair-tie!

Then on Friday, someone brought in some strawberry cupcakes!

 and after work we all got a bit sloshed down the pub.

But I wanted to wear my new bits, so here is a little casual outfit!

and my boss looking.... LIKE A BOSS in my KTZ hat. <3

Outfit update - What a cold spring!

It's pretty frikking freezing at the moment and I hate it.

I can't wait for summer!!! >_<; 

BUT 

I will always try to look stylish, haha. 

I know some people don't like this dress, but it was cold and I needed to layer up. I've also been watching

And have now completed the 2nd season so all I can say is...
OMFGGGGGGG WHY ISN'T IT AUTUMN ALREADY???!!?!??!!

Anyway, taking inspiration from southern America, I went for this slightly twee, farm girl look (who probably sings Country in her spare time). 

My good friend Charlie and I were excited to catch the bus together after we had some coffee and went on a mission to get his mum a birthday present. 

once home on this fine Saturday afternoon, I decided to do a spot of cam-whoring which ended out like this:

THAT'S ALL FOLKS. 

I WILL UPDATE ON THURSDAY FOR Y'ALL WITH AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

(oooo!)

2NE1's CL inspired outfit and recent adventures!

Hey readers~

I am so so sorry I haven't made a post in over a week O_O;
A lot of things have been going on, but now I am back with a few photos etc on what has been going on~ in the world of Emilie. (heehee!)

Last thursday I went up to Camden to visit my friend Ellie~! While I arrived early, I tried on this cool dress in H&M! Only £12 but the writing says "love is hard" and it kinda put me off it lol.
