Hi ^_^;

Hello everyone, how are you doing?

I've been quite busy, taking care of a baby and working is very time consuming and now that I have finally decided to get back to the gym its getting even worse. I have a lot of things that need to be done at my workplace which is making me a bit stressed at the moment too.

This week I got a surprise package. It was a birthday present from my mother in law! My birthday is only on the 9th of June but because she didn't know if it would arrive on time she sent it before and my husband told me to open it.
One of the items is pretty odd, its a pair of arm "warmers" but the intent for these is actually to prevent someone from getting tanned in the summer! We don't exactly use those in Portugal but its super funny to own something like that, its just so different!
The other item is a summer hat. My father used to use one like this but for rain and I never pictured myself wearing something like it but i'm sure i will at the beach and even in Japan.
The last piece is a golden wallet. It's huge and it holds a lot of things.
All of them are official Hello Kitty merchandise. I usually do not wear hk clothes but i like house stuff and kitty stationary etc a lot. It's just a mater of getting used to cutesey stuff on myself I guess. She was super super kind though, they are amazing, I am really lucky.

My first birthday present! So soon, I'm so happy  people remembered ;_;

I don't have time to socialize a lot especially since my husband needs time to finish his own projects and has asked me to take care of Mari the most I can during weekends.
So this sunday I was invited to a picnic birthday party and I asked if it would be ok to take her with me. Everyone seems to like her or not mind her so I'm very lucky I guess.

The gathering was at a small public park near kirarah's house and my husband (which i found a bit strange since he was supposed to be using that time working) took me and my older brother there. It's not very far away by car, only 10min away aprox. When we got there the birthday girl (the super sweet Geninha), kirarah and some friends were already there. Eventually lucy and nymia also came and it was a pretty relaxed and very pleasant afternoon.

Mari was rolling around having fun. I now want to do this more often, she loved it. 

I then got back home and had dinner with my husband. He asked me "aren't you coming up to sleep?" and I said "yes" and we turned off the lights and went up. I didn't think it was weird of him to ask because it wasn't the first time he did so but I could not believe my eyes when I entered the bedroom. It was the birthday present number 2. I love it so much! I had been talking about how i'd love to own a Vanity, somewhere to just store my makeup.. and there it was! A stunning antique vanity. I was in awe since I wasn't expecting it. He said he tried to keep it somewhere till my birthday but he couldn't find a place so I got another early gift. 

I put everything in it, all the makeup is already in the drawers and there's enough space for everything too. It is perfect.

The antique vanity and folding mirror. I'm placing it here because there's natural light.

My perfume bottles, etc. They finally have a place that makes sense for them. <3

It came with a small bench and it matches my bed duvet and the gold accents on the room. 

Café Au Lait is always where I am at, she's more like a puppy than a cat.

Well it doesn't really match the rest of the furniture but its so well taken care of that I
am not considering painting it at the moment. I don't think it looks that bad.
I need to change those paintings though.

Oh gosh I have to say I needed a little pampering so this arrived in perfect timing. I'm so happy with this man, he really his the love of my life for all reasons and he never stops amazing me. 

I also want to talk about what I'm craving for at the moment and I know its pretty obvious but I am in mad love with the new Moi-même-Moitié print, Holy Angel. Unfortunately it doesn't come in the colors I'd most love to own it in but I still really want it. I'm not sure I can afford it though, affording lolita lately has become a lot harder. 

Anyway this is it:

Moi-même-Moitié new Holy Angel print

The colorways it will be available in are: white x black; white x gold; black x blue; black x silver

It will be released in early July which is when I'm going to Japan so maybe if it doesn't sell out super fast I will fall even more in love when I see it in person and have to get it. One never knows what life will bring, right?

This is it for now, I hope you liked reading about a fantastic weekend for me. 

Love,

Jo
