Photo Challenge A-Z: H

H is for Hinata
This week I learned about the SCP (Super Control Panel) display mode in my E-PL2 and have been playing with the more precise controls over contrast, saturation, gradation, and sharpness to name a few. I decided to try and emulate the E-P2’s art filter “Pale & Light Color” which isn’t included in the E-PL2 
Hinata is a very very tiny shop/eatery. They actually sell a few bath items my usual Japanese Market doesn’t carry. I picked up 4 boxes of Kracie’s travel-themed bath salts based on popular onsen throughout Japan.
I picked up
Beppu (Oita prefecture, woodsy scent,)
Noboribetsu (Hokkaido prefecture, light floral scent,)
Hakone (Kanagawa prefecture, fresh herb scent,) and
Shirahama (Wakayama prefecture, fresh floral scent.)
Apparently Shirahama is their “Top Seller!”

Life~ Yesterday & Today
Monday, December 5th, 2011 | 77 Comments
Yesterday I finally really got out since getting sick. I’ve been wearing my new red peacoat & scarf I got on Black Friday a lot as well. Wore my super warm tights too. Wore them again today 
iMomoko got both “warm” types that I bought back in stock just recently too.
Dinner after a long day of running errands and getting out. I had their Turkey Burger again. I was really craving it. Dessert was a “Pumpkin Roll” cake with cream cheese icing, homemade vanilla ice cream, caramel drizzle, with roasted spiced pecans. I basically ate the entire thing myself. My stomach is still hurting today trying to break down all that sugar. 
Swung by the market after dinner to pick up some unnecessary, “but oh so necessary” things.
Restocked up on Kracie “Beautiful Skin” bath salts and got some 5-minute 3D face masks! Rose scented! Haven’t tried this series from Kracie before! Actually haven’t had any Kracie brand masks in a while and they’re usually pretty good and effective! This one is super moisturizing *needed.
OK and literally 10 minutes ago I got this in the mail!!
Urban Decay Naked 2 palette!
It came with a free eye pencil sample in a gold.
The palette itself comes with a mini lip gloss and a double-sided shadow brush inside.
I had toyed with the idea of buying the first Urban Decay Naked palette for a long time. But always I looked at it and knew I wouldn’t use half the darker shades. This Naked 2 palette is more to my tastes with all its champagne shades.
Will use it tomorrow~ Off to eat dinner now.
