Color Astrology

While Rob & I were on our family trip in Mexico (January 2019), we got a couple's massage at the Grand and Moon Palace's AWE*SPA.  And while I was drifting slowly out of consciousness (it was an aromatherapy one too, so maybe I got a little more "imaginative" from the herbs), I came up with, or at least realized there's, a connection between colors and zodiac signs.  For example, an Aries person is known to be bold, confident, impulsive, romantic - and so red is a color that matches that personality.  

And being a renowned "kawaii artist", I put my personal spin on this concept by making happy little paint cans to show off the colors ^_^

Red Rose - Aries: Passionate, athletic, impulsive temper, very confident, romantic, sexual, outgoing, independent, attractive, sometimes over-the-top. 

Orange Crush - Leo: Dynamic, warm, friendly, passionate, fun, youthful, intelligent, strong, sporty, outgoing, confident, loves to party, high-energy.

Mellow Yellow - Sagittarius: Friendly, adventurous, outgoing, never shy, forgives easily, fairly independent, cheerful, upbeat, loves music, being outdoors, sharing with others. 

Green Machine - Cancer (the crab): Fresh, healthy, nurturing, motherly, highly intelligent, loves simplicity and earthly pleasures, cares deeply about others.  

Blue Thunder - Gemini: High-energy, dynamic, life of the party, honest to a fault, bold, free-spirited, confident, trust-worthy, open-minded, curious.

Purple Reign - Aquarius: Supremely popular, silent confidence, deep thinker, killer style, creative mind, doesn't judge others and makes friends with just about everyone.

Pink Panther - Libra: Always in style, loves to have fun, social butterfly, romantic soul, falls in & out of love easily, attractive, smiles a lot, erotic imagination, appreciates art, beauty & music. 

Chocolate Brown - Taurus: Comfortable, craves pleasure, loves earthly pleasures such as touch, warmth, delicious food, soft fabrics; deeply intelligent & thoughtful, sometimes shy, sometimes not.

Grey Charles - Pisces: Fifty shades of 'intriguing', so deep it can bewilder others, a lot of facets built into one complex person, dreamy, wild child, hard to tie down sometimes, can put on a façade sometimes; incredibly adaptable to surroundings.

White Delight - Virgo: Meticulous, prim & proper, seething desire to break free and be bad; organized, detailed, well-spoken and elegant, questions a lot.

Tan Fan - Capricorn: Earthy, self-oriented, goal-achiever, well-disciplined, enjoys sensual pleasures, sometimes quiet, sometimes bold; outlandish sense of humor. 

Black Jack - Scorpio: Intense, passionate, intimidating sometimes, deeply emotional & moody, occasionally unpredictable, romantic/erotic, into the darker side of life, poetic. 

So there you have it. Whether this describes your favorite color, or your sun sign - or both in the same description (though it's not saying you need to have this color as your favorite if it's with your sun sign; these are just parallels), does it ring true to you?  

Let us know in the comments!

How to Use Emoji Respectfully And Sailor Moon Games

Hello, konnichiwa friends 😍😍

I recently read an article in a local [Canadian] newspaper, and it was about some people using emoji in a way that got them in some legal trouble. A recent example was between two men texting, and one sent 2 knife emoji with an eggplant. It was presumed the sender was threatening to injure or remove the genitals of the recipient, and he got charged for threats and harassment.

The article is written by Toronto's Liz Braun, and you can read the full article here: http://torontosun.com/news/local-news/braun-emojis-and-the-law

I had a very strong urge to share this with you guys, the readers, because I understand that the use of these kawaii little images has become a fundamental part of our digital communication. And sometimes, we send something meant sarcastically or ironically, and without tone of voice or facial expression to back up the meaning, it can be taken way out of context. And - that may get you charged ☹

Please note - I'm not telling you how to live! Just want you to be careful. Something else that really caught my eye in this article, is how emoji are used around the world. According to SwiftKey research, various regions favor some of these tiny cartoons over others...

• Canadians (like me!) tend to over-use the poop emoji in communications, hahaha!
• 
• 
• In Australia, they favor emoji related to booze & drugs, wow! 
• In France (and probably throughout romantic Europe), heart emoji are commonly used. 
• Russians (surprisingly, maybe?) use very romantic emoji quite often.
• Middle-Eastern/Arabic cultures seem to favor the floral/plant ones in communications.
• Malaysian people seem to like cute farm animals and lots of hand gestures.
• 🐮🐴🐷🐶🐑

And, in other news, I found some pretty cool Sailor Moon-themed games online recently. For Christmas, my husband got me some Sailor Moon DVDs because it's one of my favorite childhood shows - after all, it was my first exposure to anime!

Self-portrait of me at age 10, in my Sailor Moon costume!

Anyhow, we play video games around here, because we're cool 😎 And while playing retro games on our Sega Genesis, I got to thinking about how fun it would be to play a Sailor-Moon themed game so I looked online and found 2. One is an adorable dress-up themed game, so I 'made' all 5 sailor senshi scouts:

Which one is your favorite? (I've always been partial to Sailor Mars. It's probably those red shoes).

And for when you're in a more aggressive mood, there is a Mortal Kombat sort of style game as well, called Sailor Moon Fights. It is complete with the theme music and even audio in Japanese! It's got a lot of show (flashing stars) and it's controlled just using keyboard buttons. 

Hope you enjoy! Have a great day, lovelies!

What Do You Want?

Hi sweeties!

First of all, don't take offense at the title, because it's meant in a positive tone. Literally guys, I'd like to know: What do you want with this blog now that we're already so far in the new year?

It's now 2018 and this blog has been running for approximately a year & a half already. We've had fun challenges, such as:



And: 

The challenges had prizes, such as a coloring sheet (drawn by me), or even your own image featured here on this blog!!

We also had a major giveaway in Christmas 2016, won by Silvia D. 

And in addition, we've got cute games and quizzes here for you to enjoy!

Last March/April we had a fun contest where those who correctly guessed a visual pun [from a popular Disney movie], won a cute coloring page. Can you try to guess?

In addition, for quite some time throughout 2017, this blog was running Review Wednesdays, where we'd do a video or photo shoot of some kawaii cute items. I am honestly planning to bring these back to this blog, now that I've recovered from the flu and am less busy since the Holidays are over... for now.

We also used to have a very fun part of this blog, called Feature Fridays. Currently, this blog is calling for submissions - it's free to be featured once, as long as some of these guidelines are met:

⭐ You're a kawaii artist, fashion mogul, YouTuber, blogger, or fan of the culture ⭐

We also still like to occasionally review characters or pop culture that may be considered 'kawaii', and weigh in on whether or not it counts.

So please, as a loyal reader of this blog, if you have any suggestions for NEW fun stuff for 2018, please direct ideas to darylannderoche@gmail.com 

Thank you,

Daryl J. of

Personality Test - The Fireplace

*Sigh* the beautiful, romantic, warming, and calming fireplace. The crackling of the wood, the soothing heat and the hickory smell... the majority of people in colder climates have one, and they love them!

Do you have a fireplace? Or, have you ever enjoyed sitting at someone else's?




Here is a quiz to help determine some of your personality traits, as well as deeper things about you.

Which part of the fireplace do you gaze at the most?

1) The fire itself, as it dances and jumps
2) The 'crackly' wood
3) The smoke floating from the fire
4) The brick design, or the size, of the walls around it

Now let's see your results...

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Your answers determine not only some personality traits, but also concerns you may have in your current time. If you answered...

1) The fire itself, then you are a passionate and creative person! Your mind is likely going at lightning speed, and you're full of great ideas. However, you should be writing these down, since like actual lightning, it seems your great ideas are often there & gone in a flash. You are also romantic and an exciting lover, mainly because you don't like boundaries, and the feeling of 'new' excites you.

2) The crackling wood, then you are a solid, dependable person.Your friends may tease you about being the 'mum' or 'dad' of your group, but it is you who not only keeps the herd together (like Manny in the Ice Age movies), but you're also there for them when they need you the most. You'd make an excellent spouse & parent due to these traits. Also, you're probably your boss' favorite employee.

3) The smoke, then you really enjoy your freedom and prefer not to be tied down! As you observe, the smoke leaves the fire and travels upward and out into the sky, so it can go anywhere it pleases. Unlike the description above, you're advised not to get married or have children until you find what truly makes you happy. Just enjoy the variety life has to offer. You do you.

4) The brick wall inside, then you may be feeling 'trapped' in your current situation. Are you dating a jerk? Or do you hate your job? Then talk with good friends, a relative, or even a doctor or clergy to help you find ways out of your situation. You'll feel much better when your circumstances change.
