Kawaii deshou?!

So.. while I wasn't posting anything here for the past year and half I wasn't exactly dead. I tried doing some creative designing and have fun while I'm at it. I started a Zazzle Store, namely Kawaii Deshou?! which translates to "isn't it cute?" in Japanese. I create kawaii designs on T-shirt, mugs, buttons, gosh, on so many more items. You name it, it's there!

Here are some of my designs. Click on the image to go to item page. Click here for more kawaiiness!

Japanese wigs

It's a sad truth but I'm suffering from major hairloss. I have for a while now. It's been a struggle for around 5 years. Thing is, I'm too young to be balding! I'm not even 30 yet (not that you should bald at 30 either). It makes me so sad to have 70% less hair than what I had when I was a teenager.

Another sad truth that I am trying to accept is that, this is going to continue and I'm most likely never getting my hair back again. At least not its former glory. I used to have really thick hair, to the point that hair stylist would struggle cutting it and it would literally take hours, but now it takes a mere half hour to cut and style.

Enough sadfest! Now being not so old, and looking even younger (I'm told so anyway), I still want to channel some of the trendy haircuts out there. I read (uh.. flip through) Japanese magazines a lot and the gyaru hairstyles fascinate me! Unfortunately I don't have the hair for them anymore but no worries, wigs to the rescue!

There's quite a few brands out there. The ones I've discovered are Loves Wig and Prisila. The wigs look beautiful and are very current with their styles. And there's lots and lots of options available! And so many colours to choose from. I'm not too into the blonde and lighter shades as I don't think they'd match my skin tone so I'm leaning towards the darker shades, but even so, lots to choose from, it's mind bloggling and very exciting!

Here's a few of my favourites. I've also started a board on Pinterest for wigs so take a look there too!
