My triumphant return!!

I posted a stupid challenge on livejournal about a couple of years back but was too lazy and broke to ever complete it. But now that I'm officially established as a sweet lolita... I dunno if I can do it. Now the year of the lolita challenge is this. I am going to attempt to wear every single lolita style ever thought of in one year. Now that my sound hard, it may sound easy, it may just sound crazy. But I never got around to it. Why? Everything else got in the way. Emotions went haywire for me and I might end up having a few posts about it.  But, I'm sad to say the challenge had failed. But this is not a time to be sad. No, this is a time to try work other things out. This is a year where something good will happen. Good things have already been happening, like my awesome french teacher and the fact that Micheal (my lovely bf <3) is always there to talk to. This is 2011. This is my year! This is the Year of the Lolita :3

PS: You guys have probably wondered where I've been. Well >.>; Emotions were at it again. My school work got so stressful and I just...I just fell into this deep dark hole after the meetup with Tori. I tried to perk up again and I did see her before Christmas, which I shall post pics of later, but things were just not working out with me. Shit didn't just hit the ceiling, it was on the walls, all over the floor, in the food. It was a hot mess. If someone asks, I will type up the whole story but it was just a bad year 2010. But it's 2011 now. New semester. New boyfriend. New start! I have tons of new ideas and old ones that need to be worked on as well.

New ideas:
Get back into blogging - I think the reason I stopped blogging was cause I didn't have a schedule. You don't excatly need a schedule but it's good to have a routineish thing going for you. Helps you and your readers in my personal opinion.

Clean my room - Your probably wondering how that benefits you the readers. Well, my room is like many other beginner/lazy lolis room. You can see the floor which is a good thing but it's not to my liking. The drawers are kinda cramped up with loads of old vidoe games, books, test papers, etc. My new vanity, which I shall be eventually taking photos of, is cluttered up with makeup stuff. My special shelf on dresser is cluttered :( My poor dollies. This injustice will not be ignored!

Replica reviews - I....am plus sized. I am fluffeh. And I am down proud of that fact. BUT!!! Many brands don't get the whole bigger than 85 cm thing (looking at you AP with your tiny waist skirts). So many I buy replicas, like many a loli do to save on a bit of cash. There are, also, alot of plus sized girls who do wear lolita though by altering the items they recieve. I am to lazy to do that and if you think about it, I can get alot more for my buck even if it's less quality.


Brand dress = 280
Alterations = 45 - 90 depending on how severe and what needs done.
So your about 400 dollars and that's one dress. One dress of excellent quality and made to your size.
I however like to know that I can use that money and buy a replica, of lesser quality but still ok, and purchase more. Call me cheap but it's the way I think. Most places will charge your for plus sized items cause they're custom made and take a lot more time. CLOBBAONLINE has Fantastic Dolly replica up for $57.95 not including shipping. My guess, cause I have yet to inquire them, that the replica itself will cost about 10-30 dollars more. Qutieland doesn't offer the replica....yet. It probably will in the future but that's my guess. I will post a warning though. The Fantastic Dolly replica was orignially posted with bad lace on the Dream of Lolita website. While they have new photos up on the site, CLOBBA still has photos of the bad lace on the JSK and the OP. So be warned.

Speaking of replicas, I actually did get my Qutieland order in...on Halloween! Wore my new Wonder Cookie Jsk to a party. I haven't uploaded any pics from my camera in months. I should get on that. >.>

Stop being lazy so much - This...this is my Achilies heel. I'm constantly lazing around and need to stop. It's causing so many problems like weight gain :(  What I need is a hobby but haven't really found one yet. Maybe blogging shall be the cure?

Lose weight - This is what started the whole blog and I have yet to do jackshit. So it's time to get off my ass and start hauling it. Walking more, eating better foods, and even *shudders* working out with my mother. Yep, it's come to this point. Maybe I should join a gym or a class. I'll find something.

Tutorials - Well, I have been wondering how this was going to work so I decided to figure out what I can do. I can teach everyone how to clean their room :D Eh joke but I don't think there's a fun way to do so. Makeup is not my biggest thing but I can teach you what NOT to do with makeup. And there's always the fun crafts that all the others do as well. The only craft I can really tell you how to make is...well. how to make ruffles and aprons. Only the half apron though, not little heart at the top.

Other randomness - I looked over my past entries and I noticed that I never did my interview with Lucky. Well, to catch you up, college is going good for her. Many lolitas that will be attending college soon or in the future should be aware of what might happen, what will probably happen, and what will happen. Yeah, some things you can't avoid. I'm also making plans to go to Animazement soon so as soon as I have the tickets, I'll let ya know.

Well, that's about it. I'm back and I'm not going anywhere for awhile. It's good to be back, it really is. Typing like crazy for about an hour is just so much fun :D And really tiring on a school night. So I'll be back later in the week with something. So until then, stay awesome!

The Scale *insert dramatic music here*

Now weight is a semi touchy subject for me. My dad has called me fat on a few occasions. Yes he says he's trying to help but it doesn't really work when he critizies my eating. But that's beside the point. The point is that when I weighed myself a few days ago (like Friday), I came to about 175 lbs. Now the scale we have is craptastic and yes I'll admit, I have gained weight over the year but...that much? That's 25 lbs from the beginning of the school year! Surely it must have not been that much? But there are many causes for weight gain.

Stress:

Stress happens. It's in little kids. It's in young adults. It's in adults as well. Stress, well for me, caused me to freak out so much that I would eat to make myself feel better. Food clamed me but went straight to my thighs >.< So when your stressed try stay away from food. Go for a walk. Watch some mind numbing televison. Talk about something with your friends/ family. Just don't eat! It goes straight into the fat.

Depression:

Now this might be a touchy subject for some. Now people cannot say I don't know about the effects of depression, cause I do. I'm on Prozac right now. This medicine, even though it might not be likely, can cause weight gain! I did start gaining weight when I took it so it might be it. But some of the fat is mine. Now just untreated depression can do the same thing stress does and casue the person to eat to make themselves feel better.

Boyfriend/Girlfriend:

You might think "He/she is so perfect! How can he make me gain weight?" Well it all goes back to stress. Relationships can cause more stress than you think. Your always worrying that he/she won't like your outfit, you got something in your teeth, you gotta talk to him/her all the time, etc. You get my point right? Good :3
Now this might cause you to eat more unconciously but most likely you'll stop eating to try and look good for your other. But how does that make you gain weight? Without it's regualr dosage of food, your metabolism will begin to slow down. That being said, if you still eat the same amount, less of it will turn to energy and more will turn to fat.

School Lunch:

This is just a gimmie right here. Everyone knows about the controversy that schools are having with their lunches. If you don't read this article about what school lunches do to your body. Most school lunches are high in salt, sugar, and fat. All those fries will go to your thighs! The other side of the issue is (well at least at my school) that the healthy lunches are limited and very nasty. The salad is limp and going bad. The greens look to have been cooked in oil. Fruits are dirty and really bruised. It's hard to eat helathy when your options are so limited.

So that's it basically. Those are a few things that have made me and probably others gain weight. I stopped eating school luch but I still have a way to go before I fit into brand.
Until Next time,
Beckers <333
