Photoshoot With Izzy
Last Saturday after the Moove Monument, I met up with my friend Neil, whom I had not seen in a very long time, to catch up and meet with his girlfriend, Izzy, who is also a blogger – but a fashion one!!! #GObloggers
Every Saturdays, Izzy and Neil go to nice locations and have photoshoots. Wtf. How awesome is that? I want a photographer boyfriend!!! So Neil decided that he wanted me to join into this session. I’m obviously not the best model – infact I’m rather awkward and shy around others. But being the professionals, they just walked me through and calmed me down from the giggling. teehee*
We walked through several places and the wind was blowing our hair around like insanely crazy, but we did get quite a few shots.
This one is my absolute favourite.
Then I’ll show you some of my giggly sessions. I actually really like the candid shots because it makes me look less awkward! This is a true smile.. right here.
And then..
I shall leave you with the “better shots” – not candid. Just posing #LIKEABOSS
Thanks to Neil and Izzy for waiting around for me to finish my live blogging before coming to see them and for being such nice people!!!
Super thanks for Neil for taking the photos because he is such an amazing photographer. If you would like a photoshoot, I will pass you his email for quotes. Meanwhile, check out Izzy’s blog for his amazing photography skills and her jaw-dropping fashion!!
My hair
Advertorial
So… ya’ll know that I’ve got hair problems. Infact, I have a mind problem, because I’m never… ever satisfied with my hair.
Ok, so for those who have been following me for a while.. whether it’d be on my blog or youtube.. you should know that I was a blonde for a big chunk of my life. Infact, I was.. all shades of blondes… ashy, orangy, redy, whitey…
Here is a picture to remind you of what I looked like when I was blonde.
What was wrong with being blonde? Why did I change? I get asked that questions almost every.. single.. day. I mean, first and foremost, the biggest problem with being blonde, is that every moment was a #blondemoment #punintended
I kid. The biggest problem about being a blonde.. was the bleach. The colour was great, but the maintenance time and effort really killed it for me. Whats worse? It ruined the condition of my hair.
I’m going to be trialling Dove’s Nourishing Oil Care Nutri-Oil Serum for the next month so I thought this would be the best opportunity to show you guys just how this all goes for me!
First, I want to show you guys the condition of my hair.
I probably shouldn’t even be smiling in this picture. The ends of my hair are sooo damaged from the constant bleaching, that they have said goodbye to me so many times (i.e. fallen off)
Back in year 2010, I cut my hair into a bob because the ends of my hair were just so ruined from the bleach!!!
Hair is actually dead (says Wikipedia) and actually exhibits no biochemical activity – so basically, if you had blonde hair and dyed it back black – even though it looks like it is in better condition, its only a lie from the outside!
However, even though hair is dead, by moisturizing and repairing, it is possible to have your hair look smooth and shiny again!
My hair has an awful amount of colours to it because of the number of times I’ve dyed it. It really needs repairing!!
It’s stressful when you can’t find the right product for your hair because just like your skin, it can “break out”!!!!
I’ll be updating with the journey of my “hair repair” program with Dove Nutri-Oil Serum is make sure you guys continue to check back for my updates!!!
Remember what my hair looks like nowww and we will see healthy/shiny hair in a few weeks time!!! <3
Moove MPhones
Ohai!! I’m live blogging at Circular Quay – where the Moove Monument is!!!! #MPhones
I met up with Darren from Boymoments and we are both here celebrating the launch of the new limited edition Moove milk – Caramel Fudge – which is up on shelves on Tuesday 27th February 2012!
Check out these Moove headphones!!! #Mphones
Wtf right??? It’s made of hundreds of Moove cartons and the best part of it is that it also actually has a cable and plug!!!!
Moove MPhones will be in First Fleet Park, Circular Quay from Wednesday 22nd February to Sunday 26th February!!!! Come and check it out!!! You can try the brand new Moove flavour whilst you’re at it!!!
And check out the hot promo boys here!
Hahaha.
Aside from trying the new Moove flavour, you can be more interactive and play Taste Invaders!!!
This is me playing!!! It’s basically an interactive game – much like Wii – where you have to stand infront of a huge screen and try to catch as many Moove cartons as you can that are dropping down from the screen!!!!
Darren seemed to be a bit more better dressed than me since he was in pants!!! I had to hold up my dress whilst holding the net!!! HAHA.
Emily from Lil Black Book came along to see us too!!! She recently bleached her hair blonde with pink tips!!!!!!
MPhones was very very fun!!!

sasa shopping
Two weeks ago, I made a new order from Sasa.com! I realised that I haven’t really ever blogged about shopping on an online shop – so I think this post may help alot of you who struggle to shop online!
Aussie Retailers are going to kill me! (Eek.) But undeniably, online shopping has become much more favourable to those who:
1. Do not have the time to shop
2. Are bargain seekers
And where do I fit in? Both categories ofcourse!
So, to order on Sasa, all you have to do is add things to your cart! Searching on Sasa can be a litttle complicated sometimes because when you “search” something in the Search bar, a million other items tend to pop up.
For me, I like to search through categories – such as “for her” > “makeup” > “eyes” then go from there or if I’m quite clear on what I want, I usually go for “Brands” searching.
Ok, so once you have already thrown everything into your cart, you can go ahead and checkout! You may need to log in but I don’t think Sasa requires a log in – I believe you can guest-checkout!
This is my order!
The one thing I love about shopping at Sasa is that they almost always give you one or two things for free!!! Last time I received a pink pouch and a pink bow, but this time they were extra nice and I received a sample of Suisse Programme Ceullular Vital Eye Cream and a full sized Neogence C+ Whitening Serum!!
Shipping is normally free worldwide as well – but ofcourse it depends on how much you spend (Promotion is normally Free Shipping over US$75)!
There are always promotions on free shipping over US$29.. but you always, always end up spending more!!
My order was shipped on 7th February and arrived at my house on 14th February! So shipping took about 2 weeks, but it normally doesn’t take that long – maybe during promotion periods, it takes slightly longer.
Things I purchased:
Haruhada High Concerntrate Activator and Haruhada Collagen Activator
Jealousness Lashes (Shibuya style)
Dolly Wink Sweet Girl & Dolly Wink Natural Girly (I bought the Natural Girly ones in accident!!! #Supersad I was supposed to buy No.1s!!!)
4D Slimming solution – black oolong tea for detox and weightloss (haha don’t ask me why I bought this! #Impulse)
And gift!
I actually just noticed as I’m blogging now that I haven’t taken a picture of my HadoLabo Tamagohada AHA +BHA Daily Foaming Wash but I got that one too!!!
Reviews on my haul soon!!!! Ofcourse no need to do a review on my Dolly Winks though!!!
Madly love Sasa!
lady moss
I received some eyelashes from Lady Moss recently and ofcourse made a review video on my favourite pair ^^
I genuinely love the online store Lady Moss because they have an amazing range of eyelashes including Red Cherry, Miss Adoro and Eylure lashes!!
Red Cherry & Miss Adoro Demi-wispies
Very similar!! Both are just as wipsy but I think the Red Cherry ones are a tad longer in length. Both lashes are 100% human hair!
My favourite pair is the Eylure Naturalites in Double lashes
Remember to use the discount code “chaigyaru” for 5% off ALL ORDERS.
AND A SPECIAL EYELASHES GIVEAWAY HERE SOON! x.
instagramming
Lately, I have been the biggest crazy fan of Instagram.
My insane feed from the last few days
#1 Slimming face (Photo makeover) app with MTXX app (that Xiaxue introduced before) for the bokeh effects. I crazy love! No eyelashes too!
#2 Driving around with my new blinged up phone case (from Runway Bling) for my iphone 4s
#3 Enjoying a sleep on my favourite relaxing day – SUNDAY
#4 Dinner with Fiorr at our favourite udon restaurant!
#5 Mini rings haul from Equip
#6 Clearly, wearing all the rings I bought that day!! Haha!! (I lost the bow ring already wtf!)
#7 No description. Useless camwhoring. But this is the first day I changed my hair to middle split
#8 Drew my eyebrows thicker here because I think it suits the middle split. I think I look more natural and innocent nows! #Koreantryhard
#9 My awesome, super duper nail polish stand. There are 6 rows and can fit 90 polishes!! I filled it all and chucked out 10 polishes cause won’t fit!! Also colour co-ordinated because I’m anal like that. Wtf. I love it.
#10 Camwhoring from today after using my Eyelure Naturalites Double lashes from Lady Moss for the first time. I whole-heartedly love them. I think my Dolly Winks are replaced… but I just ordered some from Sasa. *heart breaks.
Ok. You have now officially seen enough of my face. And.. you will be seeing more.. because I am in the middle of uploading a new videeeooo!!!
This is my January Summer Favourites video and for those who are confused that it’s Summer… because you still don’t know that I’m from Australia – which I also don’t know how it’s even possible since I have already listed my country of residence everywhere…
Ok, yes. It’s Summer right here. Right now. But trust me, it’s not really Summer…. the weather… is still cold as heck. #Confusedmore

be a helping hand
To celebrate 10 years of business, Trilogy has launched a year long campaign to raise funds for Child’s i Foundation – a charity established by a British lady named Lucy Buck, helping to end the tragedy of abandonment of babies in Uganda.
In third world, or less developed countries some may argue, many babies are not given the choice to live. A study has shown that an estimated number of 40 to 80 new-born babies are being abandoned each year by their mothers in Kampada – Uganda. These babies are sadly being dumped in dust bins, on streets and other areas.
Many of these babies are abandoned due to poverty, diseases and violence within Uganda.
Child’s i Foundation helps to provide care for these babies – providing shelter and support – to ensure that every child in its care grows up in a loving family in Uganda.
I love Trilogy as a brand and so I wanted to take part of this project and assist in spreading the word about this campaign along to everyone who would love to support these abandoned babies. Of course there are many ways to support, and you can read more about Child’s i Foundation here.
Our world has been filled with so much hate, jealousy and selfishness that a lot of us seem to forget the love within ourselves. We forget how lucky we are to be loved, to be brought up by our families, to be cared for by our friends.
Celebrate with Trilogy and lend a helping hand
Helping Hand Wash combines the natural antibacterial properties of Elderberry and Burdock with natural vegetable oils in an effective, low foaming liquid soap. RRP $19,95 (300ml)
A small 10-cent coin sized pump is enough to thoroughly cleanse your hands. The formula of the hand wash is very moisturising as the texture of the wash is more of a cream than gel.
I was a little surprised by the texture of the cream because I’m so used to gel or foam based liquid soap. This helping hand wash not only doesn’t foam up, but actually leaves an amazing lavender scent on your soft & moisturised hands!!
Highly recommended hand wash because you get to keep an amazing hand wash (It honestly smells very very nice!!!! But I may be bias towards Lavender – my favourite colour and smell) whilst supporting a great charity.

Travel diary
30th December 2011
At the Venetian in Vegas. This hotel is probably the most grand out of them all. The shopping centre even looks like Venice!!!
THIS IS INSIDE THE FREAKING HOTEL. CRAZY ONE, RIGHT? I really wanted to go on gondola but we didn’t have time :(
The Blue Group!! I didn’t get to watch it but Cydia told me it was only alright!
We also went to see Cirque de Soleil “O”. The best one I’ve seen so far!!!
31st December 2011
I was dragged out of the hotel this morning to go on a roller coast at the Manhattan Bridge. I hadn’t been on roller coast for years and this one was madly scary. There were loops and loops and it was a bridge, so there was a huge up and down. We had a huge breakfast prior to going on, so I was actually afraid I would spew!!!! Luckily, I didn’t.
And… For the sports fans!
I found this bobble head toy so cute!!! They had this for every player on every team with a stand with their name and team on it!!! Super cute. I want one of my own!!!!
xxx.
runwaybling phone cases giveaway
I went over to Raine‘s house the other day to host a giveaway with her on her amazing phone cases. She hasn’t launched her website for long but I just know it’s going to be an amazingly successful shop from the quality of her cases.
Before she launched, she custom made a phone case for me which was honestly the nicest case I had ever received. It literally sparkles in the sunlight and you can see no mistakes anywhere!! They are made of 100% authentic swarovski crystal – which means that they actually bling forever, unlike the rhinestones or fake plastic crystal pretend stones.
I highly recommend these cases – and usually I have lots of trouble with the crystals falling off but with this case, I took it to America, Malaysia and it has actually stayed in one piece!! The only downside to it is that it is so strong and tight that I have had slight trouble pulling the case off – but I do think that can be easily fixed with a strong daddy or boyfriend (in my case anyway).
In the giveaway, we are giving away two of these gorgeous cases away to my followers. You can actually custom make your phone cases or just choose the pre-made designs. I’m so so excited to see what the winners will pick because all the designs are so amazing!
Steps to winning is very simple. Bascially there are only two steps.
1. You have to go to Modelchic facebook and like their facebook page
2. You have to choose a design from Runway Bling and comment in the video below which your favourite design is
bling case giveaway video
If you can’t wait for the giveaway to end and would like a new case, you can still head over to Runway Bling and receive a 15% discount if you quoet “chaigyaru15″ at checkout!! That’s a hefty 15% off – which means if you buy a $170 case, you only end up paying $144.50!!!!! Better than any retail sales in Sydney!!!
Anyway, I really hope you guys support Raine because she has put in a lot of effort into starting up her own phone cases business and really investing the time to find the best quality in the cases possible. It really is worth every cent.
Here are some of the cases available including some of my favourites.
custom made bow & lollipop case
Oh and btw, if you are interested, she recently put up a blogpost to express how it felt to work with me. haha! I didn’t know she was going to post this, but I loved her comments on it. Read it here.
