It hit me the other day that in March 2011, I was sat in front of my laptop and writing up my first ever blog post on this blog. Yep, March 2011. These past 8 years have just flown by and gone are the days where I took crap selfies ...
Galentine's Day (the day before Valentine's Day where you celebrate with your best gal friends) is fast approaching, and there's nothing better than getting a lil' something to remind them how important they are to you! To make it even more special, why not purchase a Galentine's gift from a ...
My 2018, although amazing, had been a bit all over the place as I didn't have any idea what I wanted or what I was doing. It wasn't until I wrote about my dream life that I was able to reset my focus, so I want everything about this year ...
Okay, I admit it - I will put my hands up and say that I don't talk a lot about gyaruo on this blog, and that's because I don't really know much about them. I've only met a handful of gyaruo/gyaruo (the male equivalent of gyaru) and, sadly, we only have ...
Instagram makes the world go around - and I'm obsessed! I don't know how many hours I spend on the app but it's enough to know that I might have a problem... My favourite place has to be instagram stories, as I can shamelessly share my bare-faced selfies and videos ...
It's a strange concept, isn't it, the thought of an introverted gyaru? Gyaru are always portrayed as out-going and fun-loving in the media, but I'm so far away from that. It used to get me down quite a lot as I felt that my introverted nature meant that I wasn't ...
I miss gyaru blogging. Back when I first started in 2010 the blogging scene was booming; almost every gyaru out there had a blog, but then instagram/tumblr/twitter/fb rolled around and people found it easier to upload pictures than to write posts about them. But I still have hope that some ...
I’ve never been one of those people who have had yearly goals, let alone 5 year plans, and so I’ve been going about my days without really knowing what I wanted in life. Sure, I listened to an endless amount of podcasts on growing my blog & Etsy store - ...
Hello m’dears, it is your gyaru granny speaking. I’ve been into gyaru for nearly 10 years now and it has evolved so much during that time, so it can seem a bit overwhelming to come across it as a beginner as there’s so much to take in. Here are my ...
I know what you're thinking - Is it even possible to feel lonely doing/being gyaru? Gyaru is, after all, a fashion, so how can you feel lonely by just wearing different clothes? For me, gyaru is more than that. It's what made me fall in love with Japan in general and ...
