Gorgeous Paintings

Here's some paintings from recently. A bunch of weird guys. No, they're normal. Normal guys. Little unruly blobs. I've really loved painting with the green/blue combo. It makes such a nice colour. Reminds me of the sea at its most powerful and beautiful.

My Journal Can't Defeat Me

I decided on a whim to make some collages recently.

My journal tries to stop me, without knowing that I cannot be stopped. My problem is that glue sticks don't work on it, and neither does tape, really. Tape just tentatively begins to peel off after a while. It's like it has a forcefield against sticky things. But I just brute force it with enough tape and SOME of it will stick. So that's how I win (smiling devil emoji).

Anyway, I had some nice crumply, floral pink paper, so I painted hurried creature shapes all over it with the big brain idea to cut them out later and make little collages with them. It's nice to have a big painted thing to stick in. I feel powerful doing it. "Here this goes," I say, like some kind of muscled He-Man. All artists look like that when they are at home, alone. Trust me.

It's the hurriedness that was really the best element, I think. It's the best way to paint with a thick brush. Like you have to do it fast, because time is of the essence for some reason. You're robbing a bank with your paintbrush, maybe. I don't know. It's good, is all.

This bunny is satisfied. I promise.

Wiggly Butterfly & Washi Tape | Kawaii Box ♡ Review & Giveaway・°☆

✶✵ This post contains items gifted to me for review purposes. ✵✶

It's been a while, but I got another Kawaii Box, and I'm gonna go through all the good stuff in it. This is the June 2020 edition.

The real tragedy of this box was the sweets, pictured above, which fused together to create one powerful Megazord of sugar. Luckily, they still taste fine, I just have to bite each ball off with my teeth (like a tiger).

Here's a picture of everything in the box. I really liked the cute little handbag, and it makes the box feel substantial to have a kinda big, chunky item like that. It's made of some kind of super waterproof material, and feels like a swim bag. It also has a little rainbow charm attached to the handle, and a zip on the inside (as well as a smaller, zipped compartment), which I really wasn't expecting.

The rest of the items are as follows:

• Sakura Washi Tape Set
• Butterfly Blossom Pen
• Little Fairy Tale 2-in-1 Pencil Sharpener
• Chocoball Brisk White Soda
• Sweet Bow Hair Tie Set
• Amuse Egg Shaped Hairbrush
• Neon Candy Highlighter

Another strong highlight is this butterfly pen. It's extremely wobbly and thus extremely fun to wiggle around. Very much like a magic wand.

This set of washi tape is also super interesting, and there's so many of them! Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head.

This little pack of hairbands is also very cute, and I like the way all the little beads clack together. Satisfying. Nice.

On the whole, the box is pretty great! My favourite item from this one has to be the bag. It's really cute but also quite useful.

Now it's time for a giveaway. For a shot at winning your own Kawaii Box, enter via the widget below. Entry is open worldwide. Good luck!

Mr Beautiful (he loves his dog)

Imagine being as beautiful as him.

Paintings (they are good)

I've been painting on some small boards, and it feels so strange because I'm such a scrap paper hound, a person for whom the crinkly and cheap paper of the world elicits a unique understanding and pleasure. But you know, sometimes you do other things. Sometimes you paint on little boards. I think the above painting is my favourite so far. I like the extremely watery look. The kind of unfinished texture of it. Also these bunnies are perfect chunky marshmallows.

This one looks like they're in some kind of red void. Not sure what's going on.

This one turned out really well, probably owing to being the complete opposite of the watery method I applied to the others - I just laid the paint on nice and thick and even here, which felt pretty good - but still, I prefer the watery, messy one. Maybe it's just because I love the dark/reddish purple so much though.

What will I paint next? It could be anything. No, it'll be a bunny, probably. Or a photorealistic still life of a Babybel (genius idea).

Stuff I'd Wear From La Redoute Boys' Section

Hi there fashion lovers (I know you are all fashion lovers, that's why you come to this, my incredible fashion blog). When I was a kid my mum would always get a La Redoute catalogue through the door, and we would pore over the clothes inside. Sometimes I'd circle ones I liked. It was the height of entertainment, and now I associate the brand with a particular nostalgia and the smell of catalogue pages. We would often end up buying some stuff from the boys section for me. Cool stuff for powerful boys.

As I am now the most powerful boy of all time (a woman), and a phantom desire took me on this day to the La Redoute website, where I did infact see cute boys' stuff, I thought I would put together all the fun boys' clothes I liked the most (because it turned out there was a lot of things I would wear right now and every day).

Please enjoy my findings.

DUDE LIFE

This is the first thing that truly caught me eye as something I have a strong desire to put on my body. I long to declare the type of life I lead, to celebrate it: the dude life. Thank you, yes.

MR. HAPPY

Mr. Happy is an icon and a treasure. I respect him. And that's why I want to honour him by wearing him on a t-shirt. Mr. Happy is probably my favourite of the MR. MEN characters at this point. I think when I was a kid it was MR. FUNNY (because I was a clown), but Mr. Happy is so... happy, and cute. I love him.

PACK OF SHORTS

I like these. Simple shorts. The most powerful clothing item imaginable. There's two of them! They're £6.50 on sale! I can only conclude that it's shorts time.

PACK OF SHIRTS

Same as above, basically. 2 shirts. They're cute. I like a good basic, and YES I do enjoy the little pockets (that I will never use).

IT DOESN'T MATTER

Another incredible slogan. And it's true. It doesn't matter.

☆☆☆

With all of these items of clothing I would be fashionable as hell. Don't think about it too much. I don't want to intimidate you with my power. But anyway, Mr. Happy is a king.

Woman

Who is she?

Where is she going?

                                                                                                                      ...there are so many of her.
