Clean Eating Challenge: Pimples!?

 Everybody gets pimples, including me. But...since the past few days, my skin is BREAKING OUT.  Pimples on my chin, forehead, and even on places I never had pimples before: ...MY CHEEKS!
So, what does this have to do with changing your eating habits? Isn't clean eating supposed to be wonderful for your skin, hair, nails, basically everything in and on you?
Now it might sound a bit confuzzling...  When I used to munch on chocolate my face was basically pimple free, and now since I'm steaming veggies and piling up on fruit & yogurt my face breaks out.(And nope I'm not allergic to anything I eat!)
The thing that is happening right now is called a ~detoxification process~ and that is because all the toxins of processed stuff like chocolate and croissants gets purged out of my skin!  Old, bad skin cells get killed, new, good skin cells loaded with the benefits of broccoli, blueberries and whole grains emerge! After one or two weeks, my skin will be the most most glowiest, shiniest &  freshest as ever! 
It's not only the skin scrubs & washes, facial creams & make up that are responsible for a porcelain like visage, but more what YOU put INTO your body, obviously! <3

Venus’ Anti Ageing Advice

Here is my top ten of anti ageing advice! Anti ageing care doesn't start when you see your first wrinkles or it doesn't mean you're obsessed with your outer appearance. Skin care doesn't only limit to your facial skin, like, we have skin all over our body which can get wrinkly too! (´◕ω◕｀)
Here are the 10 most important points about preventing premature ageing and keeping healthy! 

1.- Massage your face, but don’t drag your skin down or pull too hard. Look at my “Small Face Workout” which is that kind of massage they do in Japan against aging.

2.- Drink lots and lots of water, at least 8 cups a day!

3.- Sweat, exercise! The best exercise in this case would be cardio; it raises your heart rate which increases your blood flow and transports oxygen to your skin ALSO the sweat is gonna clean your pores (and overall, it helps you to stay fit! ^^).

4.- Eat healthy, keep in mind the “ACE” vitamins; 

Vitamin A (Antioxidants, super important! Growth and renewal of skin cells) => Egg yolks, dairy, dark leafy greens, carrots, liver, etc!

Vitamin C (For collagen; Structure, tone and elasticity of your skin) => Citrus fruits, broccoli, berries, tomatoes, peppers, strawberries, etc.

Vitamin E (it’s to keep the “skin tissue” healthy) => Leafy greens, nuts, whole grains, peppers, sunflower seeds, avocado, peanut butter (yum, haha!)

※ Eat sweets, crisps and fast food in moderation, they’re not good for your skin!

※  If you fail to take enough vitamins daily, consider taking vitamin pills, though taking the vitamins through food is better, so just eat enough and healthy! ^^

※ Just because you ate healthy for one day, your skin will not have drastic and visible changes. Your body needs 2 to 3 months to adjust to the new healthy food and your skin cells to regenerate! 

5.- Avoid sun to skin exposure, if, then use a sunscreen with a SPF of at least 15 and 30 in the summer.

6.- DON’T SMOKE

7.- Relax! Stress isn’t good for your skin. Whatever helps you with handling stress, like, drawing, bubble bathing, listening to music…do it!

8.- SLEEP! While sleeping your body cells are reparing and regenerating. Sleep at least 8 hours <3 If you have trouble sleeping, build a blanket fort,  it helped me, now I sleep like a baby! : D

9.- Use moisturiser! One in the morning, and moisturiser for over night. You can find day and night moisturisers at drug stores.

10.- NEVER ever go to sleep with make up on! Always use make up remover. After waking up, make sure to wash your face with cold water.
 It doesn’t only refresh your skin but also wake up your head! : D

How To: Kawaii On A Budget

Many people ask me how to be kawaii with less money. Here is an answer I wrote about 1 month ago on Tumblr . I posted it here so more people can see it and it won't disappear in the flood of my Tumblr posts! ♥

☆+ ﾟ .+ .ﾟ.ﾟ｡ ﾟ ｡. +ﾟ ｡ﾟ.ﾟ｡☆*｡｡ . ｡ o .｡ﾟ｡.o｡* ｡ .｡☆+ ﾟ .+ .ﾟ.ﾟ｡ ﾟ ｡. +ﾟ ｡ﾟ.ﾟ｡☆*｡｡ . ｡ o .｡ﾟ｡.o｡* ｡ .｡

1.- Time

Your kawaii stuff accumulates by time. Some of my kawaii items are 7 years old XD I have clothing items, which are 4 years old! When I go shopping and I see something I like, the first thing I do is look at THE PRICE TAG. If the price is ok, I get it or I get it not! I can be 1 hour in a shop because I’m only buying the best thing with the best price, and I want to be sure that I know what I’m doing. Btw, I think that there are a lot of people that have more kawaii stuff then me, I just know HOW to make it look like a lot XD 

2.- ONLY Kawaii

Whatever you need, get in the kawaii version! Pillows, bed sheets, pencils, food, ironing boards, toilet paper, cups….If you start buying the kawaii version of your everyday needs, you’ll get kawaii soon! ; D 

Oh, and, the kawaii version of that is NOT more expensive than the “normal stuff”!

3.-Let your friends know what you love!

If you have good friends, or family members, let them know that your a kawaii addict and show them your kawaii side! So when you have Birthday, you’ll get something kawaii for sure! My more expensive clothes, like Angelic Pretty, BSSB or just stuff that you can only get in Japan, were presents!

4.- Get it 2nd hand!

2nd hand BSSB, Angelic Pretty, and Vintage clothes! Google helps you finding 2nd hand sellers in your near! : D Also, 2nd hand is more than half price cheaper!

Shops you can get stuff cheaply:

H&M

Pro: Was always my favourite for shopping since I was 6 years old. lol. :)

Contra: Has some more sexy mainstream stuff too, but not that much so I can’t really say a contra.

BODYLINE

Pro: Affordable, cute lolita clothing and cosplay

Contra: The quality isn’t bad, but not on “designer” level! You get what you pay for!

TOPSHOP

Pro: Has promotion sometimes, and very nice accessories which are not that expensive!

Contra: Do have some cute stuff, which is, indeed, sometimes, yes, expensive like wow.

PRIMARK

Pro: You can get there so many kawaii clothes you’ll drown in them!

Contra: The quality is not very legit! XD

Promotions

Pro: Hit the expensive brands during promotion seasons. A great way to get designer stuff for low prices.

Contra: Still expensive, so you have to save money throughout the year.

Promotion season means also, crowds and queues. 

Do it yourself

Pro: Sewing your own kawaii clothes is a great way to save money and own something others don’t! You can get cheap, cute fabric and lace in most sewing stores!

Contra: Requieres a sewing machine and skills.

Additional: When I was 3 years old and we didn’t have enough money in Switzerland, mom sew me my clothes! I still have most of them <3 I remember that people told me, that “I look cute again” haha! Memorieeeeeessss! <3333333

Ok, hope I could help! <333

My Special Sleep Mask!

Hello my.......

....

(Mommy took this picture of me while sleeping...and...posted in on Twitter (mommy's twitter is called margaretpalermo btw!). Huuuh. First I was embarrassed but then I decided to decorate it with a into pink fading frame and use it to demonstrate my sleeping mask. tehehehei.

what if one day I can't find a cute and bubbly greeting for my Fangelics?

Haha, well, that will never happen, right?! RIGHT?!?!?! Yeah, definitely not. There are so many cute and bubbly words in this universe...I'm sure that I will always be able to greet my Fangelics in an angelic way. Hehe.★

OK! Today...you're a ...relaxed....miff...muff...you're a RELAXED HOT CAKE SHEEP!

Hello my relaxed hot cake sheep♥

Remeber that blog entry where I told you that I got cute things from Amazon but I'm still waiting for one special thing and that very special thing is very cute and....

...it's a sleep mask! 

As you can see it's a very dolly sleep mask!

But! It's not just an ordinary dolly sleep mask it's....

....a cooling dolly sleeping mask!

So, the sleeping mask comes together with a cooling eye mask, which you then stick into the pouch on the back of the sleeping mask! Yeah!

Just like this 

Oh, and make sure you put the cooling mask in the fridge to make it cool when you're not using it, otherwise it won't be a cooling mask! O_o

The mask should be cool enough in about 1 or 2 hours! It's very relaxing (which also helps me to fall asleep quicker!) and also easier to wake up in the morning since your eyes won't hurt. Additionally, you will also look SO MUCH better because it helps eliminating your dark eye rings! (I call them panda eyes, lol)

This dolly and cooling sleeping mask fits perfectly with my dolly pajama (dress!) and with my bed sheet, too! Mwah! SO dolltastic♥ 

A whole blog entry dedicated to a sleeping mask. Now you see how much I like it hehe XD

Sweet greetings (and dreams!)

Venus the macaron princess! 

...ummm

Nah, ok, VenusAngelic the dolly blogger ; )

The answer to: "Why did I cut my hair?"

Hello my prickly pickle!

"Oh! Hi! Yeah! Really! I did! 2 months ago!"

This is the story of why I chopped my hair off and returned to my natural dark brown hair colour.
The idea came from my hair stylist and the fan from Japan, and from me, of course.

In May my hair started falling out due to tons of stress, puberty (yes I finally hit it wooohoo) and more stress. Some people assume it's the bleaching's fault, but it isn't. I bleached my hair for 1 year and let it grow long. I know when and why it started falling out, that's for me to tell you! : 3


Hairstylist guy said:
1.- I think that it's impossible to dye you hair back, without totally damaging it and leaving it with a slight tone of green.
2.- Yeah sure, I can cut you a bob!
* The hairstylist even took a sample of my hair and died it, but it looked green-ish violet and fried. O_o

Mom said:
1.- Leave the dying to me <3

Fan From Japan said:
1.- Get a dark brown bob
2.- Put your hair behind your ears, people will love you when they can see your ear.
3.- Wear brown or black circle lenses
4.- Wear light makeup, and with that, I mean only some concealer, mascara and lip gloss (but not red!)

These instructions came with this set of pictures.

So I followed the idea of the fan from Japan, mom dyed my hair brown (and it looked a marshmallowian times better than the Hairstylist's little experiment, haha XD) and the Hairstylist cut me a Shinoda Mariko bob.

And with all these ingredients I turned out to look like this:

My viewers in niconama and most of my fangelic (and even non-fangelics) were delighted that I look more natural. And, I'm happy too! : D

So that's the story!

If you have any more questions, I'll be glad to ask them for you on my tumblr, or @VenusAngelic on Twitter! ♪

❤HAPPY END BEGINNING❤

小顔 - Small Face

Hey Guys!

This, is not just a new video, it's my 100th video! Yaaaaay!
And because it's my 100th video, and because so many people requested it, I decided to upload this video where I have no makeup and no circle lenses on . I‘m so happy you like it!

Thank you! ( ❝̆ ·̫̮ ❝̆ )✧

In the comments I saw that there are still so many open questions to this video!
And because YouTube has character limits in the comments, I'll dedicate a whole blog post for your questions! <333

Let's investigate! What is the idea of this video? What is a small face?

小顔 - Kogao - Small Face
◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

※ 小 → ko → small
※ 顔 → gao → face

* When talking japanese you say "kao", but combined with "ko" the k softens to a g.

Many of you guys think, that when I say "Let's make our face smaller and prettier with massage" you think "But it's not possible to distort our bones lol".

No way! Did I ever mention BONES in my video? haha
It's all about your skin! To make this process easier I'll show you my favourite pic that explains what Kogao is all about!

This. (̿▀̿ ̿Ĺ̯̿̿▀̿ ̿)̄☝

 See? I think now you understand! Gravitation sucks our skin down to earth causing wrinkles and sagginess. But by doing some exercises you prevent it from constantly being "pulled". That's why grandmother has got more wrinkles than you! Because she spent more time living on earth, her skin has experienced much more gravitation than yours.

When you stay in water for 30 minutes, you can feel the gravitation literally pulling you down to the ground. You just don't feel the strength of gravitation all the time because you're used to it!

So I hope this helped you if you didn't see the purpose in my face exercises♥

Sweet Greetings
Venus

Bottled Eyeshadow!

Hooohooo, hello every♥

Remember my blog post about that Super Barbie Pink nail polish? Oh well yeah, so I told you that I bought it with an "3 for 2" promo...uh, right! ^^ This is the 2nd part of it, yeah! Let's continueeeeeee.....

Though it's so simple, this is something I never had or saw before!!

As you see the pic above im holding the item, lol. DId you figure out what it could be? If you dont already know and started guessing know, then don't read the title. SPOILER ALERT, LOL XD 

Basically it has the shape of a small cup, filled with eyeshadow and then you stick in a brush. =_= This just sounds awkward. I mean that the eyeshadow in that bottle fabricated as powder, and the long black stick has a brush on it.

You swipe the brush on your eyelid and makeup is done.

 Supereasyandputinhandbagable.

It's so smooooooooooooooooth hmmhmmhmmmhmh.

They come in a few colours. I can remember seeing gold, brown, pink, silver and black ones. Oh, and of course green. Hehe. 

It's from MAX Factor too, as this promotion was limited on items from them - I like MAX Factor, so yeah, nothing to mock.

I only use eyeshadow sometimes...sometimes. But this might be something I could use more often! 

Looks good with my red and orange lip gloss. But using natural colours, like beige, would be better for an everyday look, I think. tehe☆

SEEE YOUU!!! SOOOOON!!

Super Barbie Pink!

New nail polish, huhu ^^

Awww, everything looks better on long nails but it can be really so hard to let them grow out....

And they often break after a certain amount of time!! HNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGG!!!!

I don't use fake long nails because I'm still so young but I try my best at letting my nails grow naturally!

So I do things like various coats of nail polish and shaping my nails to make them stronger, so they don't break and can get longer. Also, filing your nails "rounded" is better than "straight" because the round shape gives a stronger structure.

My Manicure Routine: 

1.- Shaping

2.- Polishing

3.- Base Coat

4.- Nail Polish

5.- Top Coat

Various coats of nail polish form like a protective wall on your nails, which makes them stronger so they don't break! If you choose the right products, then they take good care of your nails and give them elasticity.

That's how I do my nails! ♥

I own different nail polishes, but not all colour suit me well...because my skin is so pale it can be really hard to find nail polish...Black looks too gothic, orange like Halloween, Baby Pink too much like flesh (ewww, but lol  hehe ><), blue looks bit akward...so yeah, colours like red, yellow, forest green or this super barbie pink I got today at Superdrug! yay!

  

I bought it using a promotion: 3 for 2!

This means, if you buy 3 items, you only pay the price of 2! Basically, you get the cheapest item out of 3 free. Isn't this awesoooome? OMG, I tell you guys, only shop with promotions, lol, but it makes more happy, knowing the fact that you get 1 item free! FREEEEE!!!! wohooo! But of course you plan it well, like me for example ; ) hehe, so I choose 2 items for the same price, and the cheapest one is 1£ less expensive than the other 2 and turns free! Yep, yep, yep. That's how ya do it.

Soooo, well yeah that's the first item I choosed! Blog entries about the 2 other items are coming soon, so check out my blog frequently♥

The colour catched my eye and it was love at first sight (lol) because the colour was soooo bright and spiked out of all the other neutral tones! The polish is from Max Factor, and they call this colour "Disco Pink", but when I saw it, I thought it was the "Super Barbie Pink", lol ^^ But it's so hard to find nice pink tones, especially when I lived in Tenerife there were very few shops that actually sold polish in an acceptable quality...TT_TT And also because I have a pink nail polish which I used pretty often but actually didn't fit my skin tone well, so yeah I'm happy that I found the perfect nail polish colour, so from now on I will wear it often (I think I will wear it ALWAYS though, not "only" often, lol XD)

Looking at this colour makes so happy. It's my "wow" colour. lol. You know when you see something and just wanna say "wooooooooooow. Actually I say something  like "waaaaaaaaaaaw". idk lol XD
