Bodyline Shoes Haul Opening!

Hi friends! <3

I saw a post in the fb lolita updates group that Bodyline was having yet another sale. It had been awhile since I had taken a look, so I decided to check it out. Needless to say, I found a few things :-)

And brown...

All together now <3

Thoughts:

Almost all of my shoes are by Bodyline, but it is so difficult to acquire them. The website never has my size, or if they do it is not in the color or style I want. I've been having to hunt them down on Lacemarket and fb sales groups. When I went on the Bodyline website recently, I was surprised to discover that some items including shoes had been restocked! Not only that, one of the styles I liked was available in my size, in 4 different colors, *and* on sale!

I got off-white, pink, sax, and brown. I am so happy with these! I would have gotten gold and possibly black too, but they were not in stock at the time. I will have to check back again later to see if they get more in. The shoes are good quality just like the pair I already have in silver. I did notice that the sizes are marked differently online, so make sure you double check the size chart. For example, I usually take a 26cm, which they now consider LL or 2L. They fit me good. The off-white color is more white, which I was hoping for. The pink pair did have a couple small scratches, but that's okay as its hardly noticeable.

The last time I was on the Bodyline website, it looked to be going through some changes or updates. I did end up creating a new login as I'm not sure my old one was still valid. The site was easy to navigate and the sale prices were very good. Bodyline kept me updated via email along the way. My transaction went smoothly and I would definitely order from them again. They still have cosplay and costume items, so be cautious of that and review things carefully before buying.

Feb Sip Down Progress & March Goals!

Hi friends! <3

Been continuing with my sip downs. Trying to drink at least one tea a day. I've also started to get into taking pics of my tea/mugs and sharing in the fan group. I think it will help me stay accountable/focused as well...

In February, I finished the other half of the Tetley: Balance tin sachets, one serving of Teavana: Golden Dragon, some green tea/matcha sachets (Tradition & Lipton), along with a few samples (Tea and Absinthe: Spicy Pear, DavidsTea: Cream of Earl Grey, Cupiditeas: Somebody Loves Me), and an entire box of Harris Teeter: Pomegranate.

I was most surprised by the Spicy Pear. It was better than I expected. Not spicy at all either, rather kind of sweet. I do not recommend the Pomegranate one. There is no pomegranate flavor at all. Nothing even related listed in the ingredients. I ended up steeping a couple bags in with a hot apple cider k-cup to make it tolerable. So glad it's gone :-)

I bought some teas to try. And, got samples of the Tealightful and Cupiditea's ones from my sister. (Not the full bags shown, just one serving of each. I stored them in little jars until they were used.)

I got some items on sale at DavidsTea as well. I'm most excited about the matcha items as I've been wanting to get into making it, but lacked the basic equipment...

Also got a few more mugs and another travel tumbler...

And finally, I got this little basket at the dollar store. I thought it would be great to store my sip down teas in. That way I can find them easily and remain focused on my goal. I love the cute flower details/cut-outs...

Yay, they all fit...

*****
For March, I am going to finish up the Lipton & Tradition matchas, work on samples/ones with small amounts, and try out some of the newer ones.
