Pure Michigan

The husband and I went to Michigan for the first time! We call it one of our mini adventures. One of his friends was going to be in Michigan for the week so we decided to pay him a visit. At the same time we had another friend there so we hung out with him as well.

The weekend did not go as planned. We honestly did nothing of what we intended to do. :( one of our dogs was in heat so we couldn't leave her behind. She was thrilled to come along for the ride -_-

I mean....look at her

She always rides in mommy's arm like that.

When we arrived at Michigan our friend took us to The GM Rec Cen and that is pretty much were the whole day was spent. It was pretty neat because we got to see Canada!

It was a rainy day so couldn't get good pictures. On the left side is Michigan and on the far right is Canada. There was an elevator to my right so could not point the camare directly that way. We were at the top of the tallest building from the Rec Cen.

Aren't the buildings neat looking!!! The buildings are all connected on the inside.

The husband and I loved the place because it had a ton of pokestops with all of them having lures! I caught around 10 new pokemon!!!!! My favorite was that I got a Blastoise! :)

Anywho, back the the trip. Here is a ground view of Canada. We had the casino right infront of us. 

Unfortunately we left our passports at home so couldn't cross over. But we will next time we visit. I have never been to Canada before.

We walked around for a bit but didn't get very far because it started raining. We got soaked hehehe. But here are the few pictures I took.

Looking at the pictures and realizing your husband doesn't know how to focus the camera -_- FAIL...

After walking around it rained, like I mentioned, so we left. I went to the hotel so Jollee wouldn't be alone any longer and the guys went to hang out.

Jollee and I had bonding time! My snuggle buddy. :*

The very next day we pretty much could not go anywhere because of Jollee so we just headed home early. We ate breakfast at this neat Mcdonald's as the last part of the adventure.

The place look like a 1950's place. Loved it. 

Overall the trip was just okay. Wish we had gone to the Henry Ford museum. Maybe next time. For now it is just back to work :(. Let's see where our next adventure will take us. Iceland is just around the corner. Can't wait for that!!!

XOXO,

Party Hard and Play Hard!!!

The weekend is pretty much over and I have work tomorrow BUT we did have a pretty neat time. On Saturday we had a party type event for my program from work. 

I skipped out on this party last year because I don't think my husband was here. This time around I decided to go in order to do something different for a change.

I am soo glad we went. We dance quite a bit and chatted with my friends. :)

I hadn't really "dolled" myself up in quite sometime so it was really nice to do my hair, make up, and dress up! It was a fun time.

Then today, the excitement continued. We went to a place in Indiana called St Paul's Cliffs/ White Rock Park. OMG... The water was soooo nice and warm.

It used to be a Quary so it is a giant hole and people just jump in from different hieghts. The have ropes and ziplines. I did throw myself from like a 15 foot cliff and it was terrifying. So the people that do the 30 foot one are super brave!

It was a great place and we had tons of fun with our friends! I will definitely like to go back. Even if it is just to chill in the water.

There were lakes around also. Such a beautiful place! 

We were exhausted coming back from all the fun we had but at least had nice scenary to look at on the drive back. The route to get there is very nice to look at. Let me share a picture of that:

This was a field of sunflowers near by. There were farms everywhere. My husband and I were in awe since our dresm is to have one someday.

 If you find yourself in Indiana I definitely recommend this place. It is a neat hide away place. 

Our friend took his go pro si he has all tve action shots. I had to leave ny phone in the car so don't have good pictures.

Anywho, I am finally in bed now and my body feels broken from everything we did. I need to rest up...this is going to be a looong week. Good night!

XOXO,

Lina

Pullip Haul

It has been a while since I have made an update on my Pullip doll. I have not had time to sit and work on her again since my last update where I bought new tools to work on her. This mostly due to the fact that I don't have rubbing alcohol to remove some of the make up so I can redo it.

However, I have continued to be on the hunt for accessories and clothes for her. I have bought a few new things for her, all mostly from Walmart. They have some good options on Barbie clothes and accessories. 

I have also bought a few items that are for the American Girl dolls. Since the Pullip's head is so large some of the American Girl accessories for the head work on her.

All the items I show below are between $2-$5. Aren't those great deals? Let's jump right into the haul.

The first items I found are accessories for her. I found a musical kit, beauty kit, cooking kit, and sushi kit. They are the perfect size for her since her body is the same as a Barbie's body.

For the musical kit, she gets a guitar with guitar pick and a tambourine. It also brings a head set but I can't use it because it is barbie size.

For the baking kit, there is a mixer, cupcake pan, cup cake, measuring spoons, and a mixing bowl. I love this kit. It is so cute and perfect for her.

The make up kit brings a hair dryer, make up bag, compact mirror, and make up. The little make up back is pretty neat because it opens and you can store the make up inside.

The last kit I got was the sushi one. Now I am not a big fan of sushi but maybe my Pullip will enjoy it. It brings a board with sushi on it, chop sticks, and drinks. I honestly got this kit because of the soda drinks.

In addition to the kits I got her some clothes and wearable accessories. I got her a new blouse and 2 skirts.

Now the Barbie clothes do not fit her perfectly, it is slightly large, but I think with a few modifications it will fit perfectly.

I also got her new shoes. I had read that the Barbie shoes don't fit her since the Barbie has an arched foot but I personally think they fit her just fine. I love how they look.

What I don't like is that the shoes are all single colored and just plain. I do intend to work on these also and paint them.

I think that is all for the barbie accessories. The next few items I bought were from the American Girl section. I actually found headphones! These got me soooo excited. I got her a white pair and a purple pair. Don't think I will keep them those colors though.

They also have a little hole on the bottom so I think I will attach a wire here to make them more realistic. Aren't they adorable though?

Lastly, I found water goggles and sunglasses. These actually came in one pack together.

The goggles fit her perfectly while the sunglasses are slightly larger on her. The legs for the ears are just a little too long. But they fit perfectly over her eyes.

I was super excited with all these finds. Oh Oh and I almost forgot about the other accessory I got for her just because. So my mom had me buy her a blind box of Lalaloopsy so she could see what it was and I ended up getting her one of those and then 2 of the Shopkins blind boxes that are in the shape of backpacks. I got the back packs so I can use them for her.


The little Lalaloopsy that we got inspired me to get the Pullip doll her own doll :). I actually got her a mini Lalaloopsy doll for her.

I don't like the colors that she came with. Like the Barbie shoes they are too plain for my liking. I also intend to paint these. Geez I have a lot of paining to do hehehe.  Anyway, I love Lalaloopsy dolls so I think my Pullip will be fond of them also.

As you can see I am racking up quite a few things for her. Below is what I already had for her.

All I have to do now is actually finish her. I need to work on her make up and work on her wig. I asked the husband to go with me to get her hair materials so I can make her a wig. That will be my birthday present. I want to make 2 different styles for her.

This is a first for me though so we will see how that goes. I want to make her a flowy loose hairstyle and then make her a wig with my famous princess buns. Everyone in middle school knew me because of my buns. I think they will be perfect for my mini me!

Keep an eye out for more Pullip updates!

XOXO,
Lina
