Sisterhood of the World Blogger Award Thingy

I was nominated by skinjolee for the below "award": I don't normally do these but in an effort to support her and her new blog where she is documenting the progress of treating her hormonal acne, I'll be happy to answer her questions below. Questions She is asking: 1. What are your top 3 makeup … Continue reading Sisterhood of the World Blogger Award Thingy

Diana’s Fit Club Diary – Part 2 Entry 1

I know...it should be Entry 10 right? I'm not feeling like I deserve to call it entry 10.  I was going strong with the at home strength training workout challenge but then I got a tattoo and had to wait to get my sweat on, then when I felt I could get back to burning … Continue reading Diana’s Fit Club Diary – Part 2 Entry 1

3 Years And Half A World Away

Apparently, it was three years ago today that I started this blog.  Three years!?  Really, it doesn't seem that long. The blog was born to document and share with family and friends our moving to Japan which I think I have achieved fairly well.  With the digital age, we don't really have a bunch of … Continue reading 3 Years And Half A World Away

London Snail Mail Package

No, I have not been to the United Kingdom...YET... But getting mail stamped Royal Mail is kinda cool and Union Jack represented! You see, I have a pen pal there and she's one of those people who come into your life and make you feel lazy and inspired.  She is super accomplished academically and is … Continue reading London Snail Mail Package

Diana’s Fit Club Diary – Entry 9

Quick Update:  I waited as long as I could until the new ink was almost completely healed before getting back to the gym.  It takes 7-10 days usually for the main heal process to complete.  I was prepared to wait, then my body started yelling at me after a few days of being idle. Waking … Continue reading Diana’s Fit Club Diary – Entry 9

Not A Parent Approved Post – New Tattoo

Since 2012, the months prior to the move to Japan in early 2013, I have been plotting and planning to have a tattoo done while in Japan.  I wasn't sure what it would be or where on my body let alone who I would go to for the work. This was more than a little … Continue reading Not A Parent Approved Post – New Tattoo

A Slight Rant About Beauty

The past few months I have been really enjoying getting back into having fun with makeup again and reading beauty blogs, reviews and such. There are some fantastic products out there but I just have to have a rant about something in relation to this industry. How can you possibly justify charging what you do? … Continue reading A Slight Rant About Beauty

Food, Fun and Exercise

Food, Fun and Exercise - but not necessarily in that order.  haha! As someone who loves to explore, the last few weeks have been rather close to home other than jumping up to Tokyo to say farewell to a friend who is getting married and since the party moved to the States.  It was a … Continue reading Food, Fun and Exercise

Diana’s Fit Club Diary – Entry 8 – The Pain

Well, it's day 8 of the 30 day challenge to exercise at least a little bit every day and I am in serious pain.  Desperately trying not to complain about it but I think I am flinching and cringing a lot which gives it away.  It only took a few minutes for the husband to … Continue reading Diana’s Fit Club Diary – Entry 8 – The Pain

Diana’s Fit Club Diary – Entry 7

Day two had me walking/jogging for 20 minutes around the neighborhood.  It felt pretty good really but man I am out of shape.  It was a couple of minutes jog then a few minutes walk, repeat.  Hoping the next run will have me jogging more than walking. Yesterday, Day three on the challenge called for … Continue reading Diana’s Fit Club Diary – Entry 7
