More Scrunchies!

 

Scrunchie attack, and I was doing so well without it for so many years, living on other types of hair ties. Mini plastic spiral hair ties, elastic bands.

Scarf style scrunchies! Plushies scrunchies! Christmas scrunchies pack in red tartan everybody needs this, Floral linen scrunchies pack that is very me now, Oversized scrunchies in organza plain colors, Oversized scrunchies in two-tone saw this style over at the EvitaPeroni website.

 

Tiny plastic pearl flowers to embellish the hair, think this is for little kids. More crystal, pearls, flowers hair ties, very kawaii 💝💖💗. Pleated fabric hair ties that are not scrunchies but go around the hair like a collar.

Disposable Chinese tea set from Balestier Bak Kut Teh.

Evita Peroni Hair Accessories

Seriously need to cut my hair short, cannot believe how many hair accessories I always need. Instead of getting an XXL scrunchie, I bought an Evita Peroni one with gold tone hardware. Also got a few sets of plastic hair ties, these are great for everyday wear and last longer. 

Notoriously expensive hair claws that retail around $75 for a large size. I finally "bit the bullet" and bought one. You can get something similar from a neighborhood shop for $10 so the price difference is quite big. But, living in the real world is like this ❤ 😞💦. Ordering direct from website has benefits, got more hair ties as free gifts.

Already planning my next order that's going to be all LizLisa style accessories. Like the big perfect hair bows in LaMaisonFleur lucky bags. Don't know how much this will cost me, probably under $1,000, can not wait! 

My next order wasn't that bad coz of the sale discounts. I bought 2 big bows in barrette & elastic band, gonna try out the difference. 3 hairbands in ribbons, resin flowers like a floral crown and plain.

2 hair slides that hairstylists always say is the only type worth getting. Black crystal clip, 1 more velvet scrunchie with goldtone hardware for Christmas I guess.

Custom Wrapping Paper

Plain paper, stamps and ink pad. I've had this traditional inkpad forever and its pure ink unlike the craft store sponge pad versions that dry up real quick. Looking for a bigger inkpad in more colors.

 

My name chop is the same size as these stamps. Random stamping and its done! It's a polka dot design that can also be done with stickers. You don't really notice my name on it, but its there so you know who its from.

Instead of glue or tape, I'm using metal hardware paper fasteners.

Finally made an order at Pulse Patisserie for Lorna birthday. It's a fruitcake with guava mousse, strawberry infused cream, mango gelee and vanilla cake. Came with alcoholic chocolate bonbons.

Ordered a bouquet as well, its HK Disney Stella Lou bunny bouquet with dried flowers and lights, a nightlight for her room.

Ordering Craft Supplies online

Wood stamps in random designs, cannot choose but nicely packaged. Tried silicone stamps before and it didn't turn out so well. 

These types of stamps I have never seen before, a pre-inked mini stamp that looks like a pen and craft correction tape that prints out a design instead of white tape

A whole bunch of wax seal stamps and holders. The holders don't match up with the wax stamps exactly, have to buy a lot and figure it out. Did I drive the sellers crazy by ordering only one random design per collection.

Duplicates!

Candle-making kit with a soy paraffin blend that comes with everything I need to get started. Some resin molds that can be used for ice, candle, soap. I chose the biggest flower, biggest tree and a square block with the words "100% handmade".

Random Online Shopping

 

A carton of 400 ballpoint pens in random designs, I chose this carton for the generic looking "hello" "welcome" pens as well as the crystal ones (that are not inside?!). The misprints are quite ugly, looks damaged. There is even one pen that is cut in half.

Pack of postcards that I will be using as greeting cards, and these smaller gift card sized version hot-stamped. Can-opener that can do non-sharp (safe!) edges and waterproof floral stickers to decorate the repurposed cans with. Will get more stickers later, maybe even washi tape. 

A whole lot of decorating balloons including two exactly the same kits in case I mess it up. I have tried making balloon shapes before and it was a real challenge (didn't succeed). Planning to attempt balloon arches next, hoping it will be easier.

Christmas advent calendar packaging, pre-printed. These are recommended for décor. 

Free super soft pouch in this soft toy material, love it! 

Bought this hobby craft time/date stamp that I've seen around before but not sure what I'm gonna use it for.

Bath and Bodyworks.com.sg

Doing some sale shopping on the Singapore website of Bath & Bodyworks, well known for its heavily scented bath products. It has some similar items to the new Crabtree & Evelyn like the eucalyptus spearmint stuff, very roots and garden theme-ish. Also loving the lavender vanilla.

I finally left Yankee Candles alone and ordered more of the lavender vanilla candle (its from White Barn?!) as well as its immensely popular 3 wick candles in peach bellini and a thousand wishes. No anti-bac gel for me even though its on sale, just handwashes (to try out).

The New Crabtree & Evelyn

Bought some things from the new Crabtree & Evelyn, gone are the English Country Florals and in with the Apothecary style. Couple of free gifts came with this delivery, a black mesh bag filled with sample sized products.

Finally, a Crabtree (namesake) product even if its a hydrating aftershave lotion for the face. Two masks and two natural oils from the Gardener collection. Most surprising is an edible small batch olive oil 500ml from its Greece collection.

Several bottles of bodywash 250ml in surprising combinations of Lavender & Espresso? Absolutely loving this Rustico approach of edible or bath products (you choose) and the prices reflect that vibe as well, $34 for the bodywash.

Made in Bali home goods. Batik cushions and other types of incense, no Sandalwood here, its Frangipani and Nag Champa.
