I met my cousins from Canada for the first time since 2007 I think. They have gotten extremely taller than me. I also bonded with my other cousins and had fun :D

Dolly Kei

Dolly Kei is like is Mori girl met a lolita in the woods and as they had a picnic a little cult party kei girl joined them. And then they all decided to become a couple and live together in a harmonious threesome. And worship grimms fairy tales and mother Russia.

Yea. I think its a bit excessive and looks a tad costum-ish. BUT-- I really like the fine attention to patterns and print that can only be seen really in Lolita sometimes. The adorb cult party kei I think is what overdid it. And obviously I adore the nature theme in this style.

Dolly Kei seems very regal. And I think doesn’t have a very approachable aesthetic but is very dreamy and definitely shows a person who likes to live in their own world.

If I wore dolly kei for a day. I think I would be a wealthy girl who exchanges and recieves letters in a mansion. I spend my day reading fairytales and making them. I’d view myself as more educated then lower class people. But I would always go to orphanges and read stories aloud.

There are days that you get up, rush to get into the shower and speed to work. When you get there, you find yourself still in this speed mode that you started your morning with. Whatever first comes your way, you do and that continues the rest of the day until 4pm when you realize that you haven't done a single thing that was really important. That happens often and there are 3 things that can make you slow down but at the same time become more productive.

1. Meditation: 10 minutes of meditation can go a long way with your whole demeanor for the day. I find that when I meditate, I am more calm and focused. Insight Timer App helps with guided meditations or just soothing background music to help you concentrate.

2. Journal Writing: After meditation, 5 minutes of writing in a journal can go a long way as it makes you think back about the previous days occurrences and you end up analyzing what worked and what didn't. This analysis is great for overall efficiency. I use the Evernote Moleskin Notebook that is well built and can be easily transferred to my Evernote account for back upp.

3. Reading: 10 minutes of reading can help you relax a bit more and also helps creativity flow. It gets your mind working and helps you think about what you read on your commute and not the day ahead. Deal with the tasks at work when you get there, before that, enjoy! If you have a long commute or any type of commute, try using the Audible.com app and download books for reading. It will be one of the best investments that you make in 2016.

Try these tips for minimum 2 weeks and you will feel like a new person in 2016.
