Purple Realm

A little gift for myself (and my current wishlist)

, ,

Well, first up I've managed to get myself these shoes I've been after. My posture and circulation suck, and I love Skechers, so I'm finally getting a pair of Shape Ups that we can't really afford right now p . It's these ones:

Now, these retail at £90 for a pair. I want you to guess how much I paid for them. They were ordered online and they're arriving tomorrow yes .

On another note, you probably don't know that I read Cosmo every month. I also visit their website and they have this cool makeover tool. You can use it if you're registered with them. You upload your photo, scale it and then can choose from a selection of hair styles, colours and make up. I put Mojee in at one point, it was really funny. Anyway, I have dyed my hair pretty much every colour, and now I want my natural blonde back. To do that, I need to grow it and chop out the colour. So my once long purple-black hair is now short and a horrid colour. I did a quick little long-blonde makeover to see how it may look when grown long and natural, yet styled, and it looks cool:


Finally, Mik and I have started to compile gift lists for each other in our web browsers. He's got mine, I have his, and today I took the time to compile my wish-list so far, just to show you guys.

The items from left to right, top to bottom are thus:
Wallet
Toiletries
Ring
Cosmetic box
Porcelain tea for one
Cyanide and Happiness book
Chemise
Mug
Body Butter
Plate, bowl and cup
Noodle bowl
Facial moisturiser (best in the world and quite dear too)
Another Cyanide and Happiness book
Plasters for wounds
and finally a travel mug.

So, there you have it.
Oh, and I received some news I've been waiting for. Friends, Click Here.

Whatever, I can't think of a titleHmm.. Good hair day?

A ring looks great!!!
As for Cosmo, is it where Mik grew his long hair? whistle

Gavin Tripp-Sheedygarlingmatthews Tuesday, November 16, 2010 7:01:45 PM

Cyanide and Happiness rocks. I'm guessing chamise. left

Skechers are really cool shoes, I've got some too, but I've never tried walking in shape-ups. Please let me know if it's any good. up My guess is that you had then for 40£.

I love all the Hello Kitty stuff on your list, especially the cosmetic box! I could use one of those too.

Spaggyj Tuesday, November 16, 2010 7:25:16 PM

I like that too, Darko. I actually found it looking for a present for my stepmother bigsmile . Mik did not grow his hair on Cosmo lol .

Gavin - it certainly does bigsmile . What about the chemise??

Kitty - I loved my old dead Skechers, which were just normal shoes too. Bikers, I think. I don't care about the so-called "toning" of the Shape Ups but I'll let you know if they do anything they claim. Really hoping for posture improvements at the very least.
I'll tell you how much they cost tomorrow wink .

Hello Kitty is so fucking cool. I thought the cosmetic box was the best of that lot too, I like the design. I have a cosmetic box but it's kinda old and horrible now. Oh! Need make-up too - did a spring clean of all the stuff I was "supposed to throw out having had it for so long and I'm left with like 5 things lol

KittyliciousZaphira Tuesday, November 16, 2010 7:27:24 PM

I use an 'ordinary' tool box for my makeup atm, it's not very pretty, but it's functional for now. It would be nice with something both pretty and functional, like the one on your list. up

There's a girl at work who wears shape ups too, but honestly, she doesn't have an ass to shape up. p lol

Spaggyj Tuesday, November 16, 2010 7:32:22 PM

Oh, that sucks. I might just have to get you a present next year, Missy! mad I still got a few to send stuff to for the first time as well, I know poor Darkie's had zilch, nor Gavin, or Fan.. there's more but I can't remember now.

KittyliciousZaphira Tuesday, November 16, 2010 7:34:36 PM

Allright... I'm not sure you like me saying this is public, so here's a little 'secret' for ya:



happy

Spaggyj Tuesday, November 16, 2010 7:37:50 PM

Okay... I'm not sure you like me saying this in public, so this is for you:

Darkogdare Tuesday, November 16, 2010 7:46:04 PM

It seems Kate is after you p lol

Gavin Tripp-Sheedygarlingmatthews Tuesday, November 16, 2010 8:50:37 PM

I'm guessing that if it's on a want list it'll end up on the got list. Just maybe. left

Bad WolfCois Tuesday, November 16, 2010 8:58:06 PM

lol wtf

Spaggyj Tuesday, November 16, 2010 9:07:28 PM

Dark - Kate's after everyone..

Gavin - ah, I see your point.

Clint - wtf what?

Bad WolfCois Tuesday, November 16, 2010 9:08:48 PM

wtf Kate. Not weird at all..

Spaggyj Tuesday, November 16, 2010 9:09:54 PM

Cleanclean Tuesday, November 16, 2010 11:08:55 PM

Sounds like Mik ... wink

Spaggyj Wednesday, November 17, 2010 1:08:07 AM

Was Mik. I was playing on the Xbox so I told him to log into my account and edit it p

Darkogdare Wednesday, November 17, 2010 6:22:36 AM

Stomyr Wednesday, November 17, 2010 8:31:55 PM

Did you pay like 30 £ for it? bigsmile

My wishlist is far shorter - lol smile

I don't know about the hair - I'm "used to" you brownish/pinkish hair smile But maybe it is time to change - just post a photo of it once you got it to the way you want bigsmile

Spaggyj Wednesday, November 17, 2010 8:53:09 PM

No, it was actually £43 smile .
I will post when my hair's back to normal - it's gonna be a long time though!

KittyliciousZaphira Thursday, November 18, 2010 6:13:50 PM

Hey, tell me that I'm a connoisseur, my guess was *so* close! happy

Spaggyj Thursday, November 18, 2010 6:17:46 PM

It really was bigsmile

funzfunz81 Saturday, November 20, 2010 11:34:40 AM

Yay, I love the long haired-blonde you, gorgeous! yes
Love the "porcelain tea for one" too, I'm such a sucker for those and mugs lol. You know, I have a cosmetic box and it's sitting on top our drawers. I would put all my cosmetics in it, but somehow they always manage to escape and would be all over the drawers, all the time! so it ends up just being a box on top of the drawers lol

Spaggyj Saturday, November 20, 2010 12:25:25 PM

Ha, thanks bigsmile .
I tend to leave bits of makeup everywhere too o I'm a real pain in the ass with that, but I figure with a pretty new box, I'll be more likely to keep it all in there left

funzfunz81 Saturday, November 20, 2010 12:41:02 PM

Yay am not alone bigsmile
Oh... Have you got the shoes now? I've never tried Shape-Ups, I thought they'd be no different than my regular running/training/aerobics shoes, until I read some more of it and a while ago I saw the bum-heavy Reebok ads on telly, and I was drooling!
For the shoes that is left bigsmile

Spaggyj Saturday, November 20, 2010 1:22:04 PM

Yeah... I'll be doing a review of them within the next few weeks once they've been through enough testing. Will say this though - I love them so far, just for the comfiness.

r♡serose-marie Wednesday, December 8, 2010 1:37:06 PM

You've found so many cool things! bigsmile

I've heard good things about those kind of shoes. Will be interesting to hear what you think. up

Spaggyj Wednesday, December 8, 2010 3:33:00 PM

I'll be compiling a detailed review within the month up

KittyliciousZaphira Wednesday, December 8, 2010 8:35:05 PM

Oh goodie, I'm looking forward to that! up
