how I… curl my hair – rag curls: Esme and the laneway explains, with adorable photos, the exact secret to perfect rag curls. Great for lolitas and other curl-lovers looking to skip the heat! Step away from that heavy-duty curling iron!
Ich Danketsu from Megapeng.net: Save Japan with your playlist – download this cute compilation of songs (from such musicians as Sisen, Toxic Lipstick, Broken Doll) and & donate to the earthquake & tsunami relief fund. My personal favorites are Merrypony’s Sweet Melody and Kitty Kawaii’s Keep Da Peach!
DIY: Easy Hello Kitty Sandwich Molds from Free Pretty Things for You: The perfect edition to your bento box or just an ordinary afternoon snack, or make a whole fleet of them to share at your next picnic meetup! This super-easy mold uses cocoa powder (or powdered sugar if you use dark bread like pumpernickel) to make a perfect Hello Kitty face every time. And to go with it… perhaps heart-shaped eggs?

Simple Crepes from Cloud9Food: Crepes never got easier – just throw these ingredients in a blender, and pour.
Blogging Commandments from Brunette Blogging and Things I Know For Sure from Consider Me Lovely: Both great articles on what blogging should be. A great idea of for an article if you’ve hit blogger’s block: what are your personal rules on blogging?
The Totally Non-Fiction Life of a Lolita: Oli’s adorable new webcomic features 90% true life stories of a lolita’s encounters in the real world. Pastels and hilarity ensues in these cute one-panel comics.
To end this week’s We Heart of the Week, here’s a great confidence-booster quote from actress Gabourey Sidibe:
“People always ask me, ‘You have so much confidence. Where did that come from?’ It came from me. One day I decided that I was beautiful, and so I carried out my life as if I was a beautiful girl … It doesn’t have anything to do with how the world perceives you. What matters is what you see. Your body is your temple, it’s your home, and you must decorate it.”
Until next week, keep being fabulous!
