This or That TAG

A little bit of this or a little bit of that: Charlotte from Makeup by Candlelight (HERE) tagged me ages ago to participate in this tag. It took me awhile to recover from that hand crushing thesis but now I'm back in full swing and finally getting around to participating in this fantastic tag. Thank you Charlotte for tagging me!

HipHopCandy Sweet Macaron & Surprise Gifts

Some of the Cutest Products I've Ever Purchased!

I had been eyeing this small online shop for months. Never sure if I'd take the plunge and buy. Part of the reason was the shipping costs. The more you buy the more it costs etc... And if I was going to buy I wanted it to be worth it. I had been specifically pining for the Sweet Macaron body lotion and roll-on perfume. All the reviews I read were fantastic, 4 & 5 stars. Finally after months of being unsure I caved in and decided to get the Sweet Macaron lotion and roll-on perfume and then because I couldn't decided what else I wanted, I decided to get a "mystery" package. In this you get at least 5 items and you can recommend what you might like to try as well. For instance I told them I was dying to try some of the "food" inspired lip balms and got 2 :) which made me a very happy gal. Read on for more info on the products :)

White Girl Problems

(Rich) White Girl Problems

I honestly can't remember how I came across this book. I must've been buying another book and this popped up in the suggestions and the title caught my eye. I'm sure there is a meme out there somewhere based on "white girl problems" kind of like there is one for "first world problems" I was just curious to see exactly what this was. Read the reviews. Most found it really entertaining, it was only $0.01. So I figured what the heck, I need some laughs. Read on to see what this White Girl Problems mess is all about :)

 Nice & Affordable & Fun

I bought a few essence products not too long ago (so expect a few posts here and there on them) and I had been eyeing these 2 products for awhile but it took me a bit to finally allow myself to purchase them. Don't know why it was such a struggle when these products are so cheap! Read on for more info!

Lady Gaga Fame Perfume

With a smattering of BLOOD & SEMEN

I got this perfume from my boyfriend for Christmas. As you can see I have used slightly more than half of it already and it's now on emergency lock-down, meaning: I'm only using it ever so often because I want it to last as long as possible. I must say I developed my mother's disability: I SPRAY ON MORE THAN NECESSARY IN ONE GO!!! I'm trying to remedy this problem but at this stage it's an OCD issue. I just have to feel like it's "right" before I walk out the door. Does anyone else have this problem? Anyway...read on to learn more and don't let the blood and semen shock you :)

Stationery Haul Pt. 2

I went insane, yet again...

I bought more stationery although I have more than enough. I like to pretend I have a purpose/use for each and everything I buy and eventually I do...but let's get real. I still have notebooks, journals, spirals, fancy random stationery from 10 years ago. Vain hopes...vain hopes... maybe I'll handwrite a novel, a book of poems, a screenplay, sketch things....or when the world ends I guess I could carry them around and use them when toilet paper runs out. But then again some things are just too pretty to be tarnished. I really need to just let go...But until I'm ready here are my latest purchases which were all on sale :)

Juicy Couture Perfume (Viva La Fleur and La La Couture)

I absolutely love Juicy Couture perfumes. I've never re-bought any perfume before and quite frankly before buying any Juicy Couture perfumes, I never really wore perfume. I might have sprayed on a few samples here and there but never invested in full sized bottles. I originally bought Viva La Juicy back in December and tried to make it last as long as possible until the the day finally came where it sprayed no more. Very sad day. I debated whether or not I should buy another bottle of Viva La Juicy or try something new. I decided to buy a gift box of a full sized bottled of Viva La Juicy La Fleur and a portable rollerball that contained both La Fleur and the originally Viva La Juicy. I also splurged on another full sized bottle of La La Couture. Read on if you want to know what I think :)

Game of Thrones Exhibit (Belfast)

About two weeks ago I went to Belfast specifically to see the last day of the Game of Thrones exhibit. I wasn't sure what to expect but I knew that I've lived in Ireland for 2 years and had yet to visit Belfast. What could've been a better excuse? Anyway, here are a few pictures I took. I'm not the best photographer and it doesn't help when you have about 50 people in a small room crowding around every area you decide to venture off to. 

Below you will find....

Stark and Lannister Costumes, Misc. Items (including Dragon Eggs, and the Hound's Helmet), Wildling/Night's Watch Costumes/props, and finally Ned Stark's head and me on the Iron Throne. 

Just so ya know, it's very hard to look/feel in control or imposing on the Iron throne when your feet don't touch the floor. Short people problems...
