Arian Foster Is Still NOT Dead
Arian Foster Is Still NOT Dead : I know something's weird when I get five texts in the span of 15 minutes, but that's what happened this afternoon. Why? Because world renowned long distance orthopedic surgeon Dr. John Clayton of ESPN.
Arian Foster tweeted his hamstring MRI and it sure doesn't look like he's been in the lineup when the season starts. He has a tear.
ESPN's Dr. Michael Kaplin thinks Arian Foster could be out three to four weeks with his hamstring injury. He's done light jogging for 2 days

Make-Up: Japan vs. the West & ADDICTION by Ayako
Until last night, I've been sat in Japan for the past month thinking about all the lovely Western cosmetics brands that I miss, and then I spoke to H who I remembered always had an interest in Japanese make-up and I realised - what on EARTH am I doing?!
It's true - Japanese make up is VERY different from the typical Western ideal, in both products and looks. I feel like Japanese make up is a lot more sheer and glitter-oriented (you can kinda get the idea if you look up brands like Majolica Majolca, CANMAKE, RMK, Jill Stuart, KATE Lavshuca, Maquillage etc., etc.,), and much less bold or pigmented than what is popular in the West. I've got to admit that I typically lean towards the latter, and so while I have been perusing around Japanese drugstore brands, there was never much that took my fancy (okay, bar a few).
Ayako is the former right-hand woman of (the incredible blush-maker!) Francois Nars. She left Japan for New York in 1990 with not much but her portfolio and she lives there today with her very own make-up line, which has launched here in Japan.
I read a bit of her interview, and the phrase that caught my attention the most was what I wrote above - the difference in the cultural taste in cosmetics. As a person who has lived less than half her life in Japan and the rest elsewhere, I'm always interested in transcultural topics and so this line caught my eye as something that may be the make-up equivalent of who I am - a Japanese with very different inspirations.
Tomorrow I'm off into the centre of Tokyo to pick up my student visa, and hope to take a quick (maybe not) detour into an ADDICTION counter, just to see if anything takes my fancy! Here are the things that have already caught my eye..

Then I discovered ADDICTION by Ayako. EEP!

The blushes..
The customizable compacts.. (not that I don't have enough..)
Somewhat the lippies..
and the cheek sticks :D
Sorry for some of the poor quality pictures, but I didn't wanna take other people's photographs so do take a look on Google yourselves :)
As you can see, a VERY heavy influence from Francois Nars himself, but I am curious to see what she's done to make it hers :) I LOVE the packaging (check out the lipgloss packagings, they are LUSH.)
The Cheek Sticks are multifunctional, and can be used as eyeshadow bases as well as lipsticks. They've won an award for best cheek product of the year, and Ayako's powder foundation and nailpolishes have both won first place in their respective categories too.. so those 3 I will definitely be checking out! I am so excited. If that even covers it.
I am crapping myself (put ever so eloquently if I say so myself) at how much dosh I may be parting with tomorrow.. time to bust out more vouchers maybe?
What brands' philosophy/story fascinate you? :)

Could Chaz Bono Actually Win Dancing With the Stars?
Could Chaz Bono Actually Win Dancing With the Stars? : Chaz Bono toned up for his big debut on "Dancing With The Stars" by hitting the gym in West Hollywood Saturday.
TMZ broke the story ... Chaz will be a celebrity contestant on the show and will be paired with a female dancer ... a stroke of genius on the part of the producers.

NANCY GRACE TO FACE JUDGES On "DWTS"
NANCY GRACE TO FACE JUDGES On "DWTS" :Dancing With The Star 2011: Nancy Grace may actually aspire to the judges - rather than chasing them - in the coming months, and was signed for "Dancing with the Stars" ... TMZ has learned.
We're told Grace and her partner met for the first time in Atlanta last week. This cuold be another Kate Gosselin situation, where Nancy practices in Atlanta so she doesn't miss her TV show ... then travels to L.A. once a week for the live performance.
And that's what he meant by "The devil is dancing tonight."
Pirate Pops
Ella has a super creative first grade teacher and this year she has a pirate theme running throughout the classroom. Since Ella's birthday landed on the third day of school, I thought it would be fun to bring in a pirate themed snack. Here's what I came up with - Pirate Cookie Pops!
- Start with double stuffed Oreo cookies.
- Dip one end of the stick in melted white candy melts.
- "Screw" the sticks in, being careful not to break the cookies.
- Freeze.
- Once frozen, dip the entire cookie in melted white chocolate.
- Once the white chocolate is dried, dip just the top at an angle in melted red candy melts to form a "bandana".
I found these adorable candy eyeballs at Michael's.
As you can see, I only needed one per treat!
Heart sprinkles made up the mouth and bandana tie.
The eye patch was piped on with melted chocolate.
Of course, since Ella is my little princess, I had to make pink pirates, too!

August Favourites :)
I can't believe I have less than a month left to be in Japan! :( I was going to whinge about how it's kind of difficult to live with parents for so long when you've had all the independence, but I'm currently so bored without my mom as she's gone to a middle school reunion, and my dad's been away for work in Papua New Guinea.. total FAIL on my behalf! I've still enjoyed myself though, and have a month yet to appreciate my time here so all is well :)
Apologies again for the caffeine high (and the caffeine relief bit LOL! I couldn't edit it out I was lol-ing at myself) - it's probably why there's lots of editing in this one! :P Coffee really is my drug of choice :P
And some of my new found favourite blogs this month are..
Anyway, here is my monthly favourites video :)

And some of my new found favourite blogs this month are..
I spent a few hours going over all her posts! Reminded me about how relaxed blogging should be and that it's not just about trying product after product, or about cult products or about high end products - it's about showing people what you love! :) Unfortunately this has added lots of new products onto my wishlist though and made me doubt my decision on some products I used to shrug off.. (Helloooo, Bella Bamba!).
I love this blog and have caught myself on it numerous occasions recently (as I don't do rounds of certain blogs, I just read what I think looks interesting on my Dashboard) which is always proof that I'm loving a blog! She talks about products that not a lot of people have heard about, and also has great reviews and not to mention photographs! I'm hoping to do a full round of her blog tonight, as I've been viciously reading through them day by day! :D
I'm usually not a fashion blog kind of girl, but I LOVE Carlinn's style as it's not too OTT or too complicated and she wears lots of solids which I love (as I struggle to find pattered tops I like.. the only one I have is what I'm wearing in the video! :P), all whilst still being extremely inspiring and stylish! For the first time I find myself wanting day-wear heels?! I also love her make-up tastes, and always love seeing bits and bobs of Malta - I absolutely adored it there! :)
And some snaps from this month.. :)
1. Books to planning my mom and my trip to Kyoto/Nara/Osaka in September :)
2. Visiting my baby second cousin Arata <3
3. Flowers for my grandpa's grave <3
4. Steamed bread :D (extent of my baking abilities..)
5. Reading for my next degree!
Hope you guys had a brilliant August :)

ふさわしいオブジェや戸棚、什器の数々を買い揃えては、倉庫に眠らせ。
