Cherry Blossoms At Shinjuku Gyoen Park

I visited Shinjuku Gyoen Park without expecting to see cherry blossoms there because I have expected they have all fallen off already. But to my surprise, there were these different kind of sakura that were in full bloom on the day of when I decided to go to Shinjuku Gyoen Park and I was so lucky and fortunate to be able to see them.

Although I have to say it was the worst weather to see them that day as well due to this huge wind storm in Tokyo. The wind was SO STRONG that it was blowing everything off the ground. There was also several times when the wind was blowing all the petals off the sakura trees creating this "raining sakura" view that you'd see in Japanese anime, dramas, and movies and it was such a beautiful and romantic view. If only the wind was not so strong and blowing everything at my face (including all the sand and dust on the ground) that I had to close my eyes each time to prevent becoming blind. (-___-")

However, I do like how these selfies turned out with the wind blowing and messing up my hair creating this messy but natural kind of candid shot portrait. 

This type of sakura is called "yae-zakura" 八重桜 a double-layer type of sakura which is famous for its beauty and strength and also has more than 5 petals that is different from the common pale pink Somei Yoshino that are much more delicate and has a shorter life span. Yae-zakura also bloom around mid April to late April as well. To be honest, I like these sakura more because they are soooooooo pink, soft and fluffy!! 🌸🌸🌸

Greenhouse Garden At High Park

So I had a chance to visit the Greenhouse Garden at High Park back in May for the Doors Open event in Toronto. I actually visited two gardens that day. Something about visiting gardens and looking at flowers just brightens up my mood and day as it feels so relaxing and calming to be surrounded by a garden of flowers of beauty! (◡‿◡✿) For my future house, I would like to own a small garden with flowers and lights lit up and maybe a swing too! 

I had this delicious strawberry ice cream at the end of the day after a full day of walking. 

Dolly Wink Cream Eye Shadow (Crystal)

Finally got this Dolly Wink cream eye shadow in crystal! I've been wanting to get this for a very long time but never got around to getting it. I also want to get the gold version as well.

Even the packaging is sooo pretty filled with gorgeous beautiful pictures of Tsubasa Masuwaka. This a cream eye shadow is used to highlight your eyelids and the under eye area close to your bottom lashes to brighten up your eyes with a "sparkly" glow effect. It is recommended to be used with the eye shadow palettes which I have purchased previously. I can't wait to try this eye shadow and hope that it'll brighten up my tired eyes that make me look like a zombie all the time! lol.

Cherry Blossoms At High Park

Went out to High Park this past Sunday to see cherry blossoms and take photos with my Sony NEX camera. Took a few quite satisfying photos, so proud of myself! Can't wait to take more pictures with my new camera! ♥
