Hello everyone!

Today's Hinamatsuri or Girl's Day in Japan. This festival celebrates young girls and their future happiness. One of the customs of this festival is to display a set of Hina-ningyou (hina dolls). It's believed that these dolls can capture evils spirits and protect girls from bad luck.

Another custom is to drink Shirozake (white sake)...for the adults of course; and eat colorful foods like Hisimochi (colored mochi), Hina-arare ( puffed rice snacks) and Chitrasizusi. The three main colors of Girl's Day are: green (symbolizing growth), white (symbolizing purity), pink (symbolizing love).


 Above is a photo of Hishimochi. Kinda tastes like a sesame bars but less nutty.

 Above is Hina-arare, sugar coated puffed rice .

 Above is Hina-arare, but these are salty, basically little senbei puffs. 

In celebration, I created a Girl's Day look using one of my Chanel quads in Garden Party. Here are swatches of that quad.


A shimmery pale minty green.

A shimmery pale peach.

A Shimmery rosy pink.

A shimmery muted pine green with green sparkles.

Not sure if you can see, but the lip gloss has a green sheen.

  17. Cara mengugurkan kehamilan mungkin jadi pilihan terakhir bagi sang Ibu, Karena keputusan ini sangat tidak mudah yang penuh resiko tinggi dan yang perlu di ketahui di Indonesia hukum cara mengugurkan di atur berdasarkan UU Nomer 36 tahun 2009 pasal 75 ayat (1) tentang kesehatan dan peraturan pemerintah Nomer 62 tahun 2014 tentang kesehatan reproduksi. Di dalam undang-undang tersebut ditanyakan bahwa cara mengugurkan kandungan di Indonesia dilarang untuk dilakukan setiap orang (tidak di izinkan).
