thank you, for the inspiration and the compliments! I got that halo recently and it seemed like it'd be perfect for an accent against all the minty goodness!

Your HA is so cute, and I'm glad to have inspired you! The rainbow is a great idea and the mint hairbow is perfect with that hairstyle!

ooh your lavender and mint combo is gorgeous! And that sweater is so cute in mint :D

Oh yes! I think they are all tired of China. Macau looks really beautiful - And well, it was discovered by a Portuguese man. And there is some portuguese stuff in the country. Maybe it is the reason Macau it is really known for the portuguese people.

Yeah that's a really nice CW by ! I thought about getting it as well but well CSC is always a rather limited resource for me xD

Oh I didn't even know that! How interesting! Taiwan was actually... first visited by Portuguese sailors, too! (I'm careful with the word discovered as there were many indigenous people already living there) They named it Formosa and I wish it would still be it's name. There isn't a more fitting name in the dictionary <3 Most of the endemic species are still called "Formosan something" like the Formosan black bear. Fun fact: Some Taiwanese people call it the "sexy bear" because it wears a deep V-neck 😂 You'll see what I mean if you take a look at the pictures in the spoiler: [spoiler] [/Spoiler]

Well, Portuguese discovered a lto of things in the world. But we lost everything lol And now we are poor lol Sad. Oh I didn't know about "Formosa", I did a small search in Google to read more about it. Nice!

Oh!!! It looks really sexy xD I can see you have a lot of knowledge of that culture xD

yeah it's quite limited, I would probably buy way more of them if I had unlimited (but so would everyone else! 😆

That even sounds good! I made black bean burgers today. They are super yummy! My daughter and my hubs won't try anything a little bit different which means more for me! LOL

And you changed yours! Very cool how you did the background! In my BoobBub email I saw a book that looked like your type of book. It's called Black Leopard, Red Wolf. It looks interesting to me.

@ Diana hmm the goodreads reviews made it look very not my thing. Sounds like there's too much misogyny and sexism in it to be worth it for the poetic prose and fantasy elements.

Making the background for this HA was fun! I messed around with it till I liked the looks of it for quite a while. It's 5 items behind the HA and one sort of in front, too.

Background essentially consists of (from the backmost forward):

Yikes that doesn't sound any good!! Glad I didn't look into it.

I could tell you used a bunch of items. I tried to figure it out but couldn't. :-P

Sadly, most of the western European countries claimed land which wasn't theirs to claim. We profited of it by exploiting the indigenous people. I'm glad that most places in the world are independent now :) And Portugal isn't that poor. Your employment rate is rising, your GDP per capita is increasing and you are part of the EU so you shouldn't worry too much. :) Hahah yeah I agree xD Yes I love learning about new cultures and different believes and lifestyles. It humbles you and gives you a different perspective on your life and life in general. All my money goes towards travel to peek into new cultures :)

Hahah yeah although the sp/CSC conversation rate is very cheap right now so if you quest a lot and get some sP, it's much easier than before to get your hands on CSC. It's a pain for the people who buy CSC with US dollars though, I think...

I love black bean burgers! Luckily, my family is a bit more open-minded when it comes to food. My mom eats a flexitarian diet, my sister eats vegetarian and I'm vegan so my dad is the only one who eats "normally". But since it's my mom who cooks, he won't complain because he knows if he wants something else, he'll have to make it himself xD But it's a rather new development. I've been eating vegetarian/vegan for years and my sister started when she was a teenager as well, but my parents never really got to experience it much since we both don't live at home. So when I recently moved back in with them, they were quite surprised. I didn't make a big deal out of it when I came to visit over the years but now they see how I eat every day and what I need to take into account to get all the necessary nutrients. I think they were a bit surprised at first, but they are really understanding which I appreciate a lot.

Yes! I agree with you.

Yes, I love learn about new cultures also!! That is why I try travel a lot . The sad part it is I cannot travel to far countries everytime. So most of time I just travel to the Europe lol

I never went to Asia cry I really want to go.

Ooooooo I love your HA!!

I agree D: I don't like to watch movies if I need subtitles for it because I feel like I'm reading the whole time and not actually able to watch the movie.

LOL! Thank you!! ^0^ <3

Awww, really? You don't like bangs anymore? :O I always end up getting annoyed with them when they are too short to put behind my ear XD I tend to clip them up when I'm at home and put them down when I go out.

Aww thank you!! <3 <3 I hope you like to enter them :3

here's a review that's maybe more nuanced... Still doesn't seem like something I'd like, but maybe you would? It sounds super intense ...

Yes! But I prefer hear with the original song (English) and with subtitles, than hear translated to Portuguese lol How are you?

yes it came down, and I'm not sure why! It's kind of mysterious, really. It happened at the same time as the announcements about there not being anymore bonus weekends. But I'm not sure if that's related or not.

So what have been your favourite travel destinations? :) And where would you like to go if you could pick any place? :) I hope you'll get to go to Asia one day, it truly has a lot to offer <3

I entered the raffle <3 How have you been? :)

I don't know either... I would have thought that would have the opposite effect because there will be less CSC out there (less people buying CSC plus the bonus won't be distributed) for people to put in shops, but demand will stay the same so therefore the market equilibrium should be at a higher price than before... Most peculiar development.

I loved Costa Rica, it is so different, and so many animals, beaches, nice people! Really enjoyed it. I also liked visit some cities of Europe like London, Copenhagen and Vienna. I want to go to Asia (maybe Vietname or Thailand and a bit different for example Japan)- How about you?

I yeah probably x.x I am not excited for when my life hits the hot flashes cause Im already hot all the time

Oh strawberry picking sounds so fun :O I always love pottery stuff too! I am still friends with a few of my friends from middle school/high school. In fact had a long convo with one just on Friday it was on facebook but ya know. We are also going to a reunion with a few friends in August. Its more college friends but we usually hang out with them more often. I see my middle school friend whenever she is in town but she travels all over the world so XD It is super relaxing! When we go out of town in August we are planning on swimming I need to get a new swim suit x.x

Aw thanks I love your bird ha too :O

that's exactly what I thought! It's also around that time, though, that the error where some items were deleted from wardrobes happened, and maybe a significant number of people decided not to do CWs anymore, and that led to fewer people buying CSC with sP (which would make the price come down on the demand side) and/or it led to a lot of people buying way more CSC on that final bonus weekend than usual, and then selling it (which would make the price come down on the supply side).

Thank you! 🐦 I had so much fun making it birdlike 😆

I see you used the new sweater you got too. I need to change mine but Im feeling lazy x.x

yes! I'm re-energized now that the new wardrobe isn't quite so laggy.
