Sileu Menstrual Cup - First Time Impressions & Review

Menstrual cups are something I have wanted to try out for a while but always been a little apprehensive about so when Sileu contacted me asking if I'd like to try out their Sileu Cup I saw this as the perfect opportunity to try one out for the first time and also share my experiences and hopefully encourage more people who have doubts to try one out to.

Sileu send me their Travel Pack which included cup, steriliser and case, I travel alot so this set is perfect for me to keep in my bag and take out to use whenever I need it. Before you use the menstrual cup you should clean and sterilise it, the foldable steriliser makes this easy as all you need to do is put in the cup fill it with water and microwave it for a few minutes then once dry it's ready for use. I decided to get a small size cup as it was my first size using one and I was a little worried about insertion and the fit but after my first time I found I had no difficulties and I didn't feel it at all, it was such a good fit it even passed the white underwear test and I had no leaks, something which I often get using tampons and pads. Emptying and cleaning it was no problem to even when I was out the house and had to use public toilets, I just made to to have some anti-bacterial handwash with me so I could sterilise my hands before touching the cup and wet wipes just incase. Although it varies per person depending on their flow I found I only needed to empty the cup no more than 3 times a day and it gave me no problems using when I sleep, sometimes I even forgot I was using one.

My first experience using Sileu menstrual cup was a very positive one and this is definitely my favourite over pads and tampons and a great way to reduce on the waste as this menstrual cup is reusable and with proper care will last up to 10 years! I will admit was nervous and apprehensive to try using one and very thankful for Sileu for this opportunity as it was exactly the push I needed to try one out and I'm so grateful I did as it's made that monthly visitor so much easier to manage, so I totally encourage everyone to try one out to especially if you're having doubts as you won't regret making that switch.

Have you used menstrual cup before? What are your experiences?

Super Cute GOT7 K-pop Pins by Eunni새 Pins

Pin collecting has become a really popular hobby with even the K-pop world joining in and there are some absolutely stunning designs, made by some great independent artists, one of these artists, Eunni새 Pins, a Chicago based duo, who I have been following for a while and fangirling over GOT7 with very kindly sent me some of their pins design and stickers and I just had to share them because they are so amazingly beautiful I think everyone needs them in their life.

I have to say these pins look even better in real life, the details on them are amazing! The GOT7 Lullaby Polaroid Enamel Pin captures the original photo it's based on so perfectly! The colours are so sweet and vibrant and I love the glitter background which give the pin an added pop. It's such great quality and so well made to. I've had pins in the past where the backs would fall of or the fit wasn't secure enough but there's no fear of that with these pins, the rubber backing gives a secure fit and the pin is moulded into it and not glued like some cheap pins are.

My fellow Ahgase will know I have a soft spot for Markson and that my two fave Pokémon happen to be Squirtle and Pikachu which are also the Pokémon that Mark and Jackson have adopted themselves as so seeing this pin design was instant love! I have a soft spot for the Gotoon chibi designs to, which if you follow my Instagram you'll know, so seeing their cute chibi faces in Pokémon kigus was just too cute to resist.

This design is not currently available in store HOWEVER they told me that they will re-order them if enough people are interested and are open to worldwide group orders to so if you like what you see be sure to let them know over on their Twitter & Instagram, and give them a follow for new pin updates, pre-orders and fangirl fun.

One of my favourite ways to wear my pins is on my Ita Bag and I recently purchased this beautiful pastel purple bag to display my GOT7 pins and keychains on so the Lullaby pin fits in perfectly with my pastel theme and has become the focus point on my bag. The Markson pins have found a home on my denim jacket and I wear it all the time now I have this cute duo to keep me company, I'm not sure whether I'll keep them on this jacket or make a special Pokémon or Markson themed bag for them but either way I just adore wearing these pins out and showing them off to everyone. Thank you Eunni새 Pins once again for gifting me these, I can't wait to get more pins from you in the future ♥

What is your fave way to wear your pins? 

Love & K-pop

Remember to Treat Yourself This Christmas!

Christmas is here and the shops are staring to get crazy with everyone buying gifts for friends and family but I think at this time of year it's also important to think about yourself to and remember to treat yourself whether it be to a cute new Christmas sweater or even just to a cute drink while you're out shopping for everyone.

Shopping online is my preferred method of buying presents as I can search for exactly what I want and it saves me so much time, so whilst browsing Rosegal I made sure to pick myself up a little something to and got myself a cute new backpack and hoodie. The holidays can be such a stressful time for some so don't forget to take some time out for you and as an extra treat be sure to check below for a discount code for Rosegal and save yourself some money for Christmas treats.

Is your Christmas shopping done yet?

Rosegal Review : Chic & Sporty Affordable Looks

Rosegal recently contacted me asking if I'd like to receive a few items for review and they have such a great selection of affordable fashion I thought why not try them out so I picked up a couple things which I thought would suit my current style and after a week they all arrived safely at my door.

Galaxy prints will forever be one of my favourite styles so I picked up this galaxy fringe print vest as I thought it would be a great piece to dress up or down and it's prefect for the humid Thai weather. It's so light and soft, I pretty much live in tank tops here, especially black ones so I've been wearing this piece a lot and the fringe give the top and interesting new detail, which my cat is a big fan of!

Since receiving these baggy embroidered pants (which were actually from the men's section) I've hardly had them off, they're just so comfy, I've literally been living in them! They're really great quality to and the embroidered detail is so pretty so I'm super pleased with them and the vest. Sometimes when you buy things at a lower price you have to compromise on quality but both these items were really great quality for their price and are items that I will be able to wear and wash for a long time, so if you're looking for a wardrobe update be sure to check Rosegal out.

Juku Store Review: Kawaii Japanese Fashion & Accessories

Juku Store, a kawaii harajuku fashion online retailer recently contacted me asking if they could send me a few products for review and as a big Japanese street fashion enthusiast I happily took their offer. Juku Store offers great Japanese fashion at great prices and ships worldwide, you may find a lot of Japanese retailers don't offer international postage so this it's a great alternative to buy from if you want to dress like the highly fashionable Harajuku kids.

My Neighbour Totoro is one of my all time favourite anime and as soon as I saw all their cute Totoro themed t-shirts I knew I had to have one for myself. The design is so cute and there are several to choose from, the material is super soft and comfy to and I love the baggy fit of it, perfect to wear for just chilling around the house or going out searching for acorns...

Juku Store also offers a lot of items for Cosplay and some cute anime themed accessories to, Death Note has always been one of my favourite anime and manga series but it's rare to find things related to it now so it was a nice surprise to see this Death Note necklace which also doubles up as a watch, the perfect accessory to show your love for the series.

In contrast to the cutesey kawaii fashion you can also find some more darker styles and one of my all time favourite Japanese styles has been the traditional embroidery painting style so as soon as I saw this embroidered koi fish t-shirt I fell in love, it's so beautiful and just as beautiful in real life as it appears online, this is one item I will definitely be getting a lot of wear out of!

Even more surprising to me was seeing that they sell a small selection of KPop items to and we all know I'm a big lover of Kpop especially GOT7 so seeing this GOT7 bracelet for sale I just had to, it's the perfect accessory to show my love for them.

I absolutely adore all the items I got and there's such a great selection to suit everyone's tastes, so if you're looking for some great kawaii fashion and cosplay items be sure to check out Juku Store and let me know what you think.

Kosmeshop Review: LENS TOWN Aloha Candy Gray Contact Lenses

I absolutely adore wearing coloured lenses and I change up my eye colour almost as often as my outfits! I'm shortsighted so these lenses are not just for cosmetic reasons, I need them to see and sometimes when shopping for coloured lenses I find they don't come in my prescription or the range of colours can be limited so I normally order online but even then it can be hit and miss as the colours often don't match photos. I've purchased from Kosemeshop in the past and always been a big fan of their lenses so when they offered to send me some lenses from their new Lens Town Aloha Candy range to review I happily obliged and was excited to see how they'd look.

Sometimes when buying coloured lenses the colours often don't stand out against my brown eyes but what I love most about Asian brand contact lenses is how much the colour stands out, these grey lenses looked so pretty and the colour wasn't lost at all they look exactly how they do in the bottle.

These lenses are very comfy, I've worn them for both short and long periods of time and not experienced any irritation or drying. You can experience some shadowing wearing coloured contacts (where the lense can cover the iris) but despite how pigmented these lenses are I experienced none of that and they blended in with my eyes well, without looking too artificial.

Kosmeshop is a great place to buy popular lenses from trusted Korean brands, you can also buy idol collaborations there, I recently purchased the Monsta X collection and Blackpink also has a collection to! Shipping is very fast, my lenses arrived in about 1 week and they also include lens cases and a bunch of other freebies with your purchase and you can even earn points on your purchases which will go towards saving you money on your next purchases and most importantly they ship worldwide so I totally recommend you check them out!

Do you like wearing coloured lenses?

Chic & Sporty Wishtlist from Rosegal

Rosegal is a great store with so many different items at great prices that I thought with my birthday coming up and my wish to start working out and getting fit again that I would check out what sportswear they have to offer and put myself together a cute little outfit, because looking good is a great way to motivate you to feel good!

♥  Baseball Cap - I like to wear a hat when I workout as it keeps my hair (and my sweat) out of my face and this cap made me giggle, the perfect motivation to work out.

♥  Hoodie - Hoddies are my favourite thing and I've been wanting to get myself a red one for a while this one is so cute and perfect to wear whilst working out.

♥  Jogging Pants - So these might not look practical for working out but they're baggy so give you room to move and the zip pockets are great for keeping your belongings safe whilst you're bouncing around

♥  Sneakers - Because you need the right shoes to work out in and these look super chic and super comfy!

What motivates you to workout?

Summer Shopping @ Zaful

I recently decided to clear out my wardrobe so decided to check out Zaful to pick up some new items to wear on my trip up to Northern Thailand. Zaful have a great selection of fashionable women dresses but as my summer style has been drifting away from the usual top fashionable dresses I decided to pick up some cute tees instead.

One of the things I love most about Zaful is just how diverse their selection is and as my style is gearing more towards the chic and sporty vibe there are some affordable sport items you can select for really great prices, which are so comfy not just for sports but for travelling to.

Zaful is one of my favoerite online stores and their service is always quick and excellent and they're always quick to respond to any problems you may have. Zaful unconditional refund with quality, non-received, size Issue within 24 hours which is great service should you need to get your problem resolved quickly, so I totally recommend them and if you're looking to place an order soon check out the discount codes at the bottom of this post.

Winter Wardrobe Wishlist from Twinkledeals

Twinkledeals got in touch with me recently and asked me to share a few of my favourite items from their site and as winter fashion is something I've been thinking a lot about lately with my upcoming Christmas holiday to colder climates I thought I would put together an outfit of what I'd like to be wearing this holiday season.

♥ Cold Shoulder Cropped Jumper - I know what you're thinking how is this winter it's cut out and cropped? But hear me out, this would actually be great for layering and something you can wear throughout all the seasons also during winter places blast their heaters on full heat so much you often end up sweating more than you think so this would be the perfect solution to that.

♥ Irregular Faux Leather Trim Turndown Collar Jacket - Mixing textures is one of my favourite winter trends, I love the look of shiny leather and fluffy wool together and this is a great versatile coat that should keep you warm and cosy during those cold days.

♥ Radio Shaped PU Leather Crossbody Bag - During winter you're so wrapped up in layers nobody can appreciate your cute outfit underneath so I like to jazz up my outfits with a statement bag and I thought this radio themed one would be the perfect match.

♥ Knee Length A Line Flounce Skirt - My outfits tend to be on the darker side but I love rich burgundy colours in the winter and as I hardly wear trousers I thought a thick comfy skirt would be quite festive and fun.

♥ Warm Rhinestone Crown Embellished Pom Hat - Hats are essential in winter and this one is simple yet cute and would fit the look well, the little crown embellishment even reminds me a little of those paper hats you get in Christmas crackers.

♥ Short Cylinder Anti Slip and Fleece Warm Martin Boots - It's important to get yourself a good pair of shoes in winter as it can get quite frosty and slippery out there, also cold toes are the worst feeling ever! These boots caught my eye as they're not only anti-slip but fleece lined so you have all the winter basics covered and they're such a nice simple design that you'll be able to wear them with any outfit.

What are your winter wardrobe essentials?

Modes4U Kawaii Unboxing & Review

A super cute website called Modes4u got in touch with me recently asking if they could send me some kawaii goodies in exchange for a review, of course I can't say no to anything cute and after checking out their website and seeing all the Kawaii plush toys, Re-ment Shop and Kawaii stickers I could not resist!

My package was shipped from Hong Kong and arrived in Thailand just 10 days later so I didn't have to wait too long for my goodies, they also provided me with a tracking number so I could see exactly where my package was, which is always appreciated.

The first thing I saw was this extremely cute bunny plush which I instantly fell in love with. It's a lot bigger than I thought, I actually thought it would be keychain sized but it's big enough for cuddles and has been keeping me company on my desk while I work. I really love the blush details it has and the little flower, those little things just add so much extra cuteness and to top it all off it squeaks when you squish it which is just the sweetest thing ever!

I've always been a fan of Re-ments so I was so happy to see they had sent me one of my favourite Sanrio characters Gudetama. There's several different ones you can collect and the surprise is all part of the fun. I got the Oden set which was so cute and detailed it almost looks good enough to eat but I wouldn't recommend it hehe!

Finally I got some really adorable bunny stickers which will be perfect to stick all over everything I want to make that little bit extra cute. I'm a big fan of stickers as they cheer an otherwise boring item up and these bunny ones are so detailed and kawaii they're sure to brighten up your day just looking at them. I'll definitely be using them on my letters and parcels to friends and spreading the cute around.

What's your favourite item from Modes4u?

Dresslily Review, Haul & Try On

Dresslily contacted me asking me of they could send me some items in exchange for a review and as you saw in my previous wishlist post I was very impressed at their range of items from clothing to homeware but the one thing that caught my eye was yes you guessed it that awesome Sailor Moon inspired kitty backpack!

Shipping was fairly quick with the first package arriving to me in around a week and the second package arriving a week later and luckily this time Mr. Postman was able to find my address so there were no problems and Dresslily kept me fully updated with shipping times and tracking numbers.

I decided to go for items slightly different to my normal style with the changing of the seasons, although Thailand is still ridiculously hot I'm going to be spending my winter somewhere much colder so I wanted things I was easily able to co-ordinate and layer so I went for a simple high neck crop top and a jumpsuit which both fit me perfectly thanks to the accurate measurements given on their website. Pro-tip don't just look at the standard sizing as they can vary from item to item, make sure to check the actual measurements given on the item page to make sure it'll fit!

Overall I was very pleased with my experience with Dresslily and I totally recommend them, that backpack is my absolute favourite thing and the quality is so good that I'm sure it will last me a long, long time! They have so much choice on their website that there's guaranteed something to suit all styles so go check them out and let me know what you think.

What's your favourite item from my haul?

Cute & Geeky Dresslily Wishlist

Dresslily despite its name sells a lot more than dresses, you can find anything from fashion, to make-up, to homeware, and there's just so many different products it's easy to spend hours browsing. So I thought I would save you a little time searching through the thousands of products and share a few of my fave nerdy finds.

♥ Kitten Backpack - This bag is just too cute not to mention! I love it because it reminds me of Luna from Sailor Moon who is one of my fave anime characters ever. I'm also loving how versatile it is with the detachable straps that allow it to be worn as either a backpack or shoulder bag.

♥ Plush Doughnut Shape Pillow - The homeware nerd in me has been loving cushions lately but of course not any old cushions, novelty cushions! I mean who doesn't love donuts? They're both delicious and cute although I can see if I had this it would give me constant sweet cravings.

♥ Ombre Mermaid Makeup Brushes - How cute are these makeup brushes? It's been forever since I bought new makeup brushes and these naturally caught my eye because of the adorable pastel colour and mermaid design, they would look awesome in any makeup collection.

♥ Bat Print Plus Size Halloween Sweatshirt -  Batman prints probably make up half of my wardrobe and it has been forever since I added to it but one can never have enough bat clothing! The design of this sweatshirt is so cool with the comic print sleeves and melting bat symbol and it looks super comfy and warm to. This is a great time of year to stock up on bat goods and Dresslily actually has a really amazing Halloween collection I've been lusting over to.

♥ Lace-Up Winged Led Luminous Boots - These are the shoes of my dreams not only do they light up but they have wings... WINGS!! I have been looking for shoes like this for the longest time I mean they're amazing, I need them in my life already!!

♥ Police Box Coffee Mug - I love this mug because it reminds me of the Tardis but pretty much all police boxes do now. I've been feeling a bit nostalgic for Doctor Who lately and missing my Dad and I's nerdy TV nights so I'm looking forward to the new series and new Doctor and this mug would be a perfect pairing for my tea and Jammie Dodgers.

What are your favourite cute and geeky items?
