Lavshuca Candy Pop Eyeshadow

I've decided to try and avoid buying eyeshadow pallets, I only ever use two colours and the rest just gets wasted.

Free Lip Service Pouch with Nuts magazine

I have so many pouches and tote bags from magazines here. I really wish they'd get a bit of imagination!

I have seen hair scrunchies, socks and even lashes on other mags but the ones I like are usually just pouches and bags.

Still this one is a little more useful than usual. I like that you can see the stuff without pulling everything out. I have another one from ages ago that I use for craft bits and pieces as well!

Kim Schedule Book

Finding a good schedule book is always hard, you can never get a perfect one for what you need and in Japan at least there's a massive amount of choice!

This year I've bought the Kim Schedule Book. Kim does postcards and books of photographs combined with thoughts on life. I have a few of his postcards and was lucky enough to go to a book signing and get his book signed.

The schedule book comes in four or five different covers, the one I chose has the saying (roughly translated!) "Who decided you couldn't, who decided you wouldn't get used to it, who decided you won't, in your life you decide, you live your life"



Inside isn't as cute as most of the Japanese schedule books but it has more photos in the front and sayings throughout. What I really liked was that on the weekly pages there's a section for "happy and thanks" so I'm going to use this as a schedule book and a gratitude journal. Something I've been wanting to do without having a separate notebook.




It also comes with a free postcard. Not sure if all books come with the same postcard.




Here's to a better life in 2011!
