Aloha Yokohama (7/28/2013)

Yesterday My Husband and I went to an event called Aloha Yokohama! 
To be honest I think this event would have been better outdoors but still I enjoyed yesterday a lot. We decided to walk since it was lovely weather outside.
first we decided to take purikura with kou! because he is so cute and is only a puppy once ><

I love this machine >< its always so cute!

Ferris wheel from cosmos world ><

After taking purikura we went to world porters and we found a Mix Berry there! I was so surprised it brought back memories so we decided to buy some. we tried mango apple, ramline, watermelon, melon, and grape. My favorite was watermelon. My husband and I shared an ice cream so the end result looked a bit funny because we have different preference but it was still fun and tasty.

before toppings (:

 then we went to yamashita park to lay out a mat and relax with kou. I ended up buying a cola and Kou was licking the bottle. He does the cutest things haha. I really can not stop taking pictures of him.

a selfie ^^

then we decided to head towards the aloha Yokohama event. on the way we saw a bike tricks kind of event.. I am unsure what you would call it but it was fun to see. My husband took video

walking to aloha yokohama with kou!

At last we arrived at Aloha yokohama

a Hawaiian beer sample ~ (very strong taste, I am not all that fond of achohol though)

I wanted to eat at the event but all the food was sold out! I had a craving for something at least remotely hawaiian even hamburgers would do so we went to freshness burger. On the way we saw this guy with a carriage lead by a pony.

our hamburgers, to be honest for `fastfood` its pretty good (;

Then we needed to buy new food for kou so we went buy the petshop we bought him at and I saw this monkey sort of animal for sale! for 380,000 Yen! (about 3,800 usd) he was cute and fun to look at though.

 On another note I won the pastel panda I posted about a few posts ago a week after

Anyways that is all for now! I hope you enjoyed!
Have a good day!

Japanese Braid Extensions

Today I thought I would post about my extensions.

(This post is all my experience and opinion about this)

My hair is fairly thinned out because of past bleaching and damage... So I get braid extensions to make it thicker and sometimes even a bit longer. I really love these type of extensions, it works best for me. Clips seem to give me headaches. I go about every two months to replace them because I take good care of them. It cost me about 8,300 yen. And they have many colors and there is not charge for a specific length. They will even will straighten or curl my hair after for me for free.

What is braid extensions?;

This is a braid extension, they literally braid them into your hair

Do They Come out?
 I never had one come out I can brush and do everything as usual. But surprisingly to remove yourself is not very difficult. ( random thing to Note, of course you shed hair everyday like a normal human being and this shedding hair stays in the braid some people think that the braids made them loose hair when it may have not. )

Do They Hurt or Damage my hair?
Honestly, for me it doesn't hurt at all, it does not bother me the least bit and usually I am very fragile.  I can sleep fine, I braid my hair for when sleeping though just to prevent from tangling. As for damaging your hair they shouldn't because they are simply braided and tied into your hair.

How Do I care for my Extensions?

I admit I love tsubaki, it works amazingly for me. I use there spa shampoo and shinning conditioner. ALSO; after conditioner I use this Shinning conditioner treatment it is amazing I will just leave it while showering and rinse it when finishing. If nothing else it makes my hair effortlessly tangle-less when I brush through it after the shower. Also I use the Deep conditioner in the picture above once a week. Keeping your extensions from being dry is important for having nice hair... even someone with long hair has to care for the ends of there hair. I also use a heat protect-ant spray before ironing and when possible I try not to use an iron or hairspray, Moose seem to be better for my hair then using hairspray. Also I do not wash the ends of my hair and I try to avoid over washing my hair.

That is all, Here is me getting my extensions 

Myself recently (:

Any more Questions? Feel free to ask me.

Have a lovely day.
