BoatHouse

Yesterday I went to the mall to meet with a friend. While I waited for her, I randomly walked around and stumbled upon this:



BoatHouse. One of my favorite store in the whole world!

I found this store a few months ago. My city's really big, so there are several malls all over. There's this REALLY big one on one end of the city. I don't go to it very often because it's far from my house. My mother and I went a while ago, and that's when I discovered BoatHouse, they have this HUGE store at that mall. And they opened a store at the mall super close to my house! Happiness!! I could spend hundreds and thousands of dollars in that store.

My style varies, I like to dress up, but also dress down. BoatHouse, is more on the dress down part of my closet, but still very stylish. It's a bit expensive, but it's really good quality.

I guess you could say it's a "skater" type of store, but they carry dresses and flat shoes for girls. They have one side of the store with women's clothing, and one side with men's clothing. The men's clothes are SO HOT! Guys with brands from BoatHouse = Hawt! Lol Can't help myself, I love their brands, what are you gonna do?

So on Saturday I spent about 120$ for these:



That's the front, and then...



Party in the back! Orange and pink is my favorite color combination. With the black it pops out even more. This brand is called "Fox", for the fox faces every where.

Second top that I got:



All pink with black fox logo on the front. It's written "FOX" on the back at the bottom.

And I bought a hoodie:



This one guy I used to date has several hoodies from BoatHouse and I always end up wearing his. So I thought it'd be a good time to buy myself my own. It's "Billabong" brand. I really like all the colors. It's very "me"~

I'll probably be going back next paycheck... I saw some really cool shoes! <3

Nail issues...

So, yesterday (Friday) I went out in town to do a little bit of shopping and I also had an appointment to get my nails re-done.

I wore this simple outfit:



Jean skirt and a white top that crosses at the back. Shows a bit of cleavage too...

Some of you guys that are/will be reading my blog will wonder why I dress so simply if I love gyaru fashion and culture as much as I do. I mean, all the other blogs I read (well, not all of them, but almost all) are gyaru related. Basically, I don't care for gyaru fashion on ME. I love to watch it on other girls, I think it's awesome, but I don't fancy on me. I'm not sure why, it's just never worked out. Maybe I'm not passionate enough about it. Who knows. But this is how I roll. Lol

With the outfit I had my usual hoop earrings and the ring my mother gave me for my birthday. I'll take picture of it for another post.

Skirt: Smart Set
Top: Garage

I wore some flats for shoes. Shopping in flats is the best.

For my nails well... I was super excited and then my nailist started taking them off to apply a new set, when we encountered this:



You can't see perfectly, but this is an infection. It's the start of one, so it's mild. But when she took off the resine from my nail, it was yellowish and looked like it was eating my nail underneath because there were small holes. I wanted to start crying. I was freaking out inside.

What the hell? I've been getting my nails done since I was 16, off and on and this had never happened to me. The issue was that, I had hurt that finger 3 or 4 months ago. Basically, some car door closed on my finger, it wasn't hard enough to make my finger and nail turn purple, but part of it broke under the skin. When Stephanie did my nails 4 weeks ago, it looked fine, it was healing great, so we didn't think much of it. But as it grew under the resine and started an infection because of the lack of air.

So I left the salon with no new nails. My nailist took all of them off, gave me a small manicure and put some clear polish on all my nails except for said thumb that's sick.

When I got home, I put my thumb into a bowl of warm water and added one very small spoon of bleach. Left it in there for 10 minutes and already it looks 10 times better. I'm going to do that again tonight and tomorrow and hope for the best.

I'm going out of town on vacation this coming Monday, hopefully this nail infection won't spoil it all.

So gals, when you get your nails done, make sure to check every time you get a new set done. My issue was because the nail underneath was already broken. But I've heard of girls getting infection under their fakes, just because of lack of air.

In the mean time, I can look at my other nails that look good, even with just clear polish. Lol

DS Deco

When I was in Tokyo last year (October 2009), I bought a lot of things to decorate my various gadgets. Just recently I got around to it. (Yes I know, sheesh 6 months later, so slow!)



I decided for my FIRST EVER deco, to decorate my Nintendo DS Lite.



I'm not sure if it's done yet or not, but so far I like the design.



I was planning on decorating ALL of the front, but then I started missing gems... so I stopped here for now.



If I can get some more pink gems, just basic ones, I think that's what I'll use to fill in the blank sides.



And here's the rest of the deco stuff I bought in Japan, that I haven't used yet.




The Hello Kitty is my favorite, I think n_____n



Originally I wanted to put it on the back of my phone. But, Kitty is too big. So, I guess I'll just have to find her another spot.

What do you think?

Flower for good feelings

On Tuesday, someone gave me a flower at work.



Thank you for making my day :)

Calypso Waterpark

On July 30th, my older sister, little brother, his girlfriend and I all decided to try out this new attraction in the area we live in. The Calypso Waterpark!



It just opened this year in June and we had been talking about going for quite some time now. Finally we all had a day off at the same time and the required funds to go. 30$ entrance fee, 5$ for parking and another 5$ for a locker.



They have this neat system where, if you want to, they will take your finger print and create an account for you. In that account you can add a credit card or simple deposit a certain amount of money. With that, you don't need to carry any money or plastic with you around the park when going to the restaurants or boutiques! You simply present your finger, press on the special scanner and it will deduct the amount of money you spent on items and/or food. They then print a receipt with the amount left on your account. I thought that was brilliant!



We got there at opening time which was 10am. There were plenty of chairs available. We took our spots!



This one was mine! n____n



Right in front of where we were sitting, the wave pool! It wasn't as big as they pro-claim it to be on their website. But it was tones of fun!!



These slides were the first ones we tried. Paired in two, you get tubes, go up and come down! The turquoise is completely dark (called "Black Hole"), the green is dark in some spots, light in others (called "Turbulence") and the blue one (called "Zoomerang") is... well, the most exciting one of the three!



Pretty much, you go in a circle and then suddenly DROP! But I mean DROP in an almost straight line and then go up and back down (backwards!!) to the pool. My sister and I went so high up on that larger part, I thought we were gonna touch the top part of it x____x Let's just say we screamed so hard people were laughing at us when we landed at the bottom!



After that we headed to these two bigger ones. Blue and yellow. Both are group slides, so you get a big tube for 4 to 6 people. These ones were my favorites in the whole park.



The blue one (called "Canyon Rafting") is open, just going back and forth in circles, it's really fast and lots of water's splashing everywhere. In some turns we went up really high against the side of the slide, at one point I thought my brother was gonna fly on the other side of the tube if he hadn't been holding on! It was hilarious!



And then the yellow one (called "Boomerango"). Oooh yellow slides! The scariest one of them all. Basically it's the same as the blue one with tubes paired in two, but... BIGGER! And you go down even FASTER! When going down, we ALL lifted all from the tubes (hold on tight guys!). I was screaming and shocked on air at one point! It was INTENSE!! But I LOOOVE it! It was awesome! I wanted to do it again, but my brother's girlfriend was too scared~



After that, we wanted to chill a little so we tried out the "Jungle Run". Which is this little river you go into with a floating device and just let yourself be pushed through. The current was a lot stronger than I thought it would be, it was fun!



We then headed for a little break for drinks and tanning at the Hawaii Beach Bar! Really cute area with sand, little huts, tables and a bar.





My sister and I's drinks~



Then we went back to try out more slides.



The red ("Hot Dip") and white ("Frosty Drop") ones were singles, you went in by yourself, on your back and slide down into a round slide. You basically go round and round and round and then fall at the bottom. I didn't try those because I was worried to hurt my back (to which my sister confirmed when she tried them).



Behind the red and white slides, are yellow ("Acid Testing") and black ("Steamer") slides.



These two are paired in two tubes. You go down in circles, round and round and then drop into a whole and slide into the pool below. The black one is spraying steam and water on top of your head as you go around, I couldn't see a single thing. Lol



This one is called "Fast track". Basically you go up with "carpets" and have a race down with others. It wasn't as great as I thought it was going to be. My brother won the race n____n''



And of course there are spots for kids ("Pirate's Aquaplay" and "Zoo Lagoon").

We went back to do the big blue slide and some of the smaller ones through out the day while enjoying the wave pool, some tanning and chatting.

Great day over all! I really really liked it! But I've got to say that "Village Vacances Valcartier" in Quebec city is REALLY hard to beat. I might be going next week while I'm visiting, not sure yet, if I do, I'll make sure to bring back some pictures.

That's it (enough) for now~
