While I was in hospital my sister went to Action again and got me some stuff. There are only 3 items but I took quite a lot of pictures to show details and so on.
Starting off with:
A bag with apples in different colours. It may look kinda childish, but I think without the belt-like thing it would already be a lot less childish (so let's remove it =D). Don't know how expensive it was. Even though I'm still absolutely in love with my Protest bag I do think I'll use it for shopping days, because it's smaller (on the other hand, having a big bag is also handy?) Oh, I just don't know when I'll use it xd >.<
And another bag. This one's with hearts. I think this one is more "adult-like" but not completely. Ah well, I'd carry it anyway. But anyway, I really like the hearts, they look so cute. And I think it's really good that the belt-like thing is metal: makes it a lot less cheap-looking.
Lastly, she bought house shoes for me. I've been wanting to buy house shoes for a while, but I've been quite picky. The print is really cute and the pom poms are just awesome. She bought size 41 but her motto was: "Well, the baggier it is, the nicer?" and I actually don't mind because it's baggy anyways, even if it was the right size. My feet were cold before but now I have these awesome house shoes to keep 'em warm. Yeah.
Something random, the day before yesterday I watched some Pokémon, just for fun xd and the ending... OMG it's SO CUTE!! PIKACHU! So cute,,, moe moe kyun~!
I also want to play Pokémon Black or White. I've been playing Pokémon Pearl over the past week, but I haven't finished it yet >.< Can't beat the champion and I want to catch Mespirit/Mesprit(?) but I got impatient and didn't want to chase it down anymore. And it's so difficult to catch >.< but so cute.
Anyway, I'm afraid I can't blog a lot coming week. I just have SO much catching up to do... Really, it's insane... but I do have things to blog about =) many things, I guess and hope...
So, Keep Praying for Japan, visit bubzbeauty's blogtv and donate! Donate to a fund of which you know all the money will be used correctly: to help Japan! Keep praying!!
I should really do more reviews, otherwise it'll feel like my blog is... nothing >.<
Moving on to the review. Dr. Organic Royal Jelly: Skin Whitening Cream. I think it's really good that Dr Organic is:
Paraben free
SLS free
Has no artificial colours, fragrances or harsh preservatives
It sounds so skin friendly, so I just had to buy it. And the price was also very nice: €9,49 for 125ml I consider that as much, since I only use it for my face, it'll take a while before I finish it ^^
This is what it looks like in the box
Front. ARGH it's a bit blurry
Back.
What does it promise?
It says it'll lighten, protect, and condition (moisturise?) your skin.
It contains these bioactive, natural and organic ingredients: Fresh Royal Jelly, Algowhite, Liquorice extract, Bearberry extract, Red Clover, Mulberry extract, Aloe Vera Juice, Heather, Propolis, Cedarwood, Lemon Peel Oil, Geranium Oil, Patchouli Oil, Petitgrain Oil and Sandalwood Oil.
My experience with it?
I use this as a night cream. It doesn't specifically say day or night cream, but I was afraid it was a bit too much as a day cream. The cream is just plain white, it smells like bees wax and the substance is a bit thicker than a normal cream, but not as thick as bees wax or so. Since I only use it on my face, I think it'll take some time before it's finished.
Does it moisturise my skin?
At first I was a bit afraid that it was a bit too oily for my face (extremely oily face >.<) but the next morning I woke up with a nice and smooth skin. Me loves! It doesn't break me out or anything. So yeah, it definitely moisturises my skin. Leaving it feeling soft.
Does it lighten my skin?
I think it gradually lightens my skin. Of course you won't see fast results. But I keep getting new scars (bad me) so it's kinda hard to see where the scars appear and disappear.
And although it says Royal Jelly, it isn't very high on the ingredient list...
Something for you if:
You are all into natural stuff, for a good price
You love the smell of bees wax
You want to lighten your scars
Skip it if:
You can't stand the smell of bees wax
You consider €9,49 as expensive (which I think is ridiculous, it's ALL natural ^^)
You're really aiming for something with a lot of Royal Jelly
Overall I'm very happy that I bought this product ^^ It makes my skin soft and it's a natural product.
Also I have a question for all the girls from Singapore! My father is going to Singapore for business and I need to know some names of good stores. I don't really know if I should trust his fashion sense but... If those shops also have websites it'd also be nice to know, so I can already pick out some stuff and make a wishlist.

PRAY FOR JAPAN~ <3<3<3<3<3<3 Pray that there won't be anymore suffering
I'm almost fully recovered from my appendicitis. Doing work-outs again, only thing I can't do is lying flat on my stomach. But further on, I'm OK.
While I was in hospital my sweet friends gave me presents (even though they really didn't have to >.< Thanks guys!) I just wanted to show the sweet gifts =D I'll say beforehand sorry if the pictures are kinda dark >.< in the background.
So let's start off with the cow. Not a huge fan of cows, but it is kinda cute, especially the heart Also took a picture of the cow and me
I know my skin and hair look kinda greasy, conclusion I just look sick, I think I took this picture a couple of days after I got out of hospital so...
Plus I'm not photogenic >.< Should try to be more.
Next up is this cute panda the eyes are so big and round. So thankful for my friends who bought him. The tag was also very cute. I think it said on the tag: "I love eating bamboo, but I ate so much I can't see my feet" or something like that xd Another picture with panda and me~
Another friend gave me this. It looks so beautiful. Won't tell it's soap, ah~ Even though I don't take baths (maybe I will when I have time) it could also be nice as decoration. And well, the gesture is nice, right?
The mother of the friend that gave me the soap made this. My friend said she crocheted it in half an hour (!) that's pretty fast. I don't know how she did it but it looks really cool. I think she also used effect yarn or so. Really sweet~!
And last but not least. A huge bambi-like stuffed animal (it's a deer)! I don't want to favour anything, I love all my presents, but I still think this one is the nicest of all. Maybe it's just because I can hug it really tightly at night because it's so big =D.
Being sick wasn't all that bad. Not because of the presents, or yeah, not mainly because of the presents xd of course I like presents, though it wasn't that necessary. But anyway, because I got 4 packages of antibiotics a day. My pimples disappeared. Notice how I was rambling about my skin crisis. Well, it ALL disappeared due to the antibiotics O.O Pretty cool stuff, ah! Even though my face was nasty greasy, and I couldn't use any skincare products, it was nice and clean. But as soon as I got off the antibiotics, my pimples returned... of course >.<
I know it's not the most healthiest way. But because of all of that stuff going around my stomach, I lost my appetite. The day of the operation itself I didn't eat anything. Didn't drink anything the first half of the day (but I got liquid through my drip. I had a hard time eating, and I didn't feel hungry. I actually don't know if it's because I ate less, or just because I did so much work-out before (because I didn't weigh myself). But anyway, I lost 2 kg O.O I do need to check myself this weekend because I've got my normal appetite again. So I eat everything I see xd lol, joking.
So I've been idle for more than a week, I guess... But I have a perfect excuse >.< Quite a long story and I'll tell it all, you just have to sit back, take your snack, put on some music and read~
Let's start... It dates back to Tuesday 2 weeks ago. After lunch I had stomach pain. I thought it was the time so I kinda ignored it and waited until I could go home 2 hours later. When I got home I immediately took some paracetamol, hoping the pain would go away... but it didn't. So my mum heated a bag with cherry seeds, don't know the purpose of the cherry seeds, but at least the bag was warm and it made the pain go away. When it was time to go to bed I went to bed (of course) and tried to sleep. My mum told me that if it started hurting more I should tell her, and I should take 2 paracetamol instead of 1. So I tried to sleep, in the end I stayed up for another 2 hours just because it still hurt, time for 2 paracetamol. Pain went away and I could finally get some sleep.
The next morning I felt quite good and figured I could still go to school. So I just went to school and all, but after some hours (and after PE lesson) I did feel quite miserable. Motivated as I was because we only had half a day of school I stayed at school, hoping it would be a bit better later. The minute I came home I went to sleep on the couch. I slept until I had piano lessons and after that I lay down on my bed. After a while I took another 2 paracetamol. Pain went away and I figured I could eat something (I skipped lunch), eating something did feel good, because I love eating :3. So the evening was quite peaceful, I just felt tired because I only slept for 4 or 5 hours. I went to bed quite on time and before I took another 2 paracetamol, just in case.
But now the most important part comes. It was 4:16 and suddenly I was wide awake. My stomach really hurt and I couldn't sleep. Walking hurt, getting up hurt, basically everything. I went to my parents' bed room and my mother gave me more paracetamol. I didn't feel any better and after 2 hours we called, (family doctor post? Don't know what it's called in English) but anyway, it was a doctor and his receptionist said we could come over. So we headed over there. As unlucky as I already was, the doctor just had to go out to another patient with heart problems (they have a higher priority) so we had to wait...
Don't know how many minutes later the doctor came to get us. And he started examining me. He got the impression it was appendicitis. So he re-directed me to the first-aid post. There they ran some more tests, taking blood samples and so on... Unlucky me, they had to stick a needle in me twice because the first time my blood didn't come out =-=. And then we had to wait again... So much waiting. Another doctor ran some other tests on me. And after one and a half hour the blood test results came in. From the blood they could already see that there was some inflammation in my body. And then they had to do an ultra-sound. After a while they told the results of the ultra-sound and they came to a conclusion I really had appendicitis, and next to an inflamed appendix, my appendix also burst (?) and there was fluid in my stomach which shouldn't be there. So I had to be operated. I did feel it coming, but still, this was like a confirmation.
So I already got my first bag of antibiotics before the operation. I had to completely undress and put on a special "OR-coat" felt kinda uncomfortable at first, but yeah... I think I got operated at 11.00 or 12.00... don't know the exact time. I do know that the operation lasted for about one and a half hour. A bit longer than normally because they had to clean lots of fluid in my stomach.
And after a while I just woke up. At first I thought I would dream or something. But it was just black. You don't have a feeling of time. It's actually kinda weird when you think about it. First thing I noticed was, THIRST. I was so thirsty, probably because of the oxygen mask. And I needed to cough... but the last thing I wanted to do was coughing 'cause that would freaking hurt! I don't know how long I was lying in the room, but after a while they told me my dad was outside and they brought me to my room.
That's kinda the end of the story... The reason for my idleness. It's vacation now so I do want to try and catch up with the blogging again. Because even after I got out of hospital (which was last week Sunday) I didn't immediately blog. And neither did I in the past week, when I was at home because I couldn't go to school yet. But now I'm BACK! Hopefully...
I do feel like I've missed many things at school... and after vacation I have to catch up with 4 tests, I think O.O So much... Kinda depressing.
But anyway, I'm almost myself again. Now I just have to wait until the wound heals, hoping the scars aren't that big. Gotta start exercising again... though I can't train my abs yet >.<
Getting off-topic now,,, but I just need to share this:
I'm amazed by this... I think it's awesome when you put so much emotion in a song, you actually start crying. That's just... amazing...
