2016 Update

Hi everyone,

Just an update, I’ve been trying to write and do some more posts but it’s a little bit hard for me with the time I do have available so I’m going to try post up as many within the free time have.

Anyway most of the updates are personal goals I'd like to share and other announcements that I have planned for the rest of the year :)

Personal life update:

The new year has presented me with a few things to reflect on with both myself and my situation. I’m currently studying as a dental assistant to make a proper “paying” career for myself and just recently I'm having a trial week at a dental practice to try and help me with my course. Hopefully I am successful in the trial week so that they can offer me a job as one a trainee DA. :)

Secondly, Money and weight haven't been the best lately. After some personal matters in 2015 I’ve been left with about 15 kg of weight gained that I’m trying to lose. I really want to improve myself and benefit my health to get back in shape so aim to lose at least 15 kg by June.

And money. Money has been ‘issued’ this year and last since I haven’t been making the best of choices with spending and not saving a majority of the money I do make but if I do get this DA job I should be able to improve my monies statues.

Lolita:

My interest in Lolita is the same and I still active in the fashion but with my weight as it is I’ve been careful with what I wear and what I can fit into. I’ve found (embarrassingly) I stretch out some shirring jsk’s to the point where it sags a tad =-= So being said, lolita fashion will be a motivation for myself to loose a few kg's.

I’m trying to sort out my wardrobe since I’m gravitating to a classical and sweet theme wardrobe with more of a mature colour tone instead of OTT colours. I'm also selling off some dresses to accommodate my changing wardrobe and to limit it's size. At the moment I'm aiming to only purchase key items and exclusively keep to my wishlist.

With meet’s, to accommodate my money and time I’m trying to only go to meets that really interest me and not only go for the sake of a meet-up. I do like seeing my lolita pals and dressing up in frills but I’m going to limit my outings in lolita unless I really am interested in going out for meets. e.g ice skating, gallery, picnic etc.

Hobby:

New hobby 2016!
This year I’ve taken the plunge to enter into the bjd hobby. I’ve been really into collecting and dolls and everything so with my friends encouragement I decided to buy my first doll :) But with this, it’s kinda attributed to my lackluster money situation at the moment especially with all these sales and layaway options happening.

I’ve bought a few dolls and a few on layaway atm. I’ve decided to not buy anymore dolls till I get the ones I'm still waiting on. I’m extremely excited to finally be included in this hobby since it'll give me an outlet for my creative and crafting side.

I will definitely be posting up lots of photo’s and unboxing reviews of my dolls once they come for sure ^-^ I’m also going to be attending bjd doll meets in Sydney and around my area which will be a great experience.

Friends and Stuff:

I’ve been helping one of my lolita friends with her lolita accessory business and learning about selling and buying at conventions. I'm really lucky to be able to experience this type of business style since it teaches me how to run a business and work at a convention. I normally go to conventions as a con-goer so being on the other end of the spectrum is really exciting for me. Also, I have a few trip planned with my friends and am trying to save up for them. I really want to go out and travel but as an 'adult' now I have to piorties. Yayyyy adulting is soooo funnnn ;-;
Personal project:
Lastly, my personal project. This year I've been thinking of opening two esty stores that focus on accessories and bjd goods. I'm still in the process of making the prototype products and running a business and all that stuff so stay tuned! :)
