23 years, 1 day.

Saturday, May 28, 2016
I thought it might be an interesting idea, instead of a standard favourite post or something similar, to take a snapshot of my life every so often to keep you guys updated on what's going on, as well as providing myself with an account of where I was at a certain point of my life.  Where to start..? Well, as the title suggests, it was my very merry un-birthday yesterday meaning...

An honest review: Kylie Lip Kits in Dolce K and Mary Jo K

Wednesday, May 25, 2016
Kylie Lip Kit in Dolce K - US$29 When I was picking shades to splurge on, I decided to go for bolder colours or ones that I wouldn't usually go for. I covered bold with Mary J K and decided to go with Dolce K for something different - I have a million and one nude pinks but pretty much no true nudes, which is a category that Dolce K definitely falls under. The outcome? The colour...

Give me back my leave-in conditioner: A rant

Saturday, May 21, 2016
Okay, so this rant has been a long time coming and it was never something I intended to make into a blog post, but it's beauty related so why the hell not? Apparently over the last year of so leave-in conditioners have gone 'out of fashion' and have therefore been disappearing off of the shelves in a hasty fashion. Why? God knows - maybe it's suddenly 'on trend' to look like a badger pulled through...

The benefits of pilates

Wednesday, May 18, 2016
It's gentle... but it's bloody effective: Unlike something more intense like body pump, I've never once left a pilates class with the intention of never returning and for a hater of most physical activity, that's quite a feat. Pilates certainly isn't a walk in the park, though - you may not sweat like you do in spinning or lose your breath quite like you do when going for a run, but you definitely...

Lazy day lips

Monday, May 16, 2016
I consider myself to be a pretty lazy person, which isn't always a bad thing because it's led me to some fun little workarounds in many areas of my life. Today I'm talking about one such example - some of my favourite 'lazy day lips' - products that you can throw on without worrying if they're going to clash with your outfit or be too 'bold' for an occasion (is there such a thing?!)...

#PaleGirls: Bronzers

Saturday, May 14, 2016
Hello all and welcome back to #PaleGirs: a series where we try to find the best products to suit the fairer-skinned beauties out there. Today we're talking bronzers - a product that can be particularly tricky to get right for anyone with a skintone at either end of the skin tone scale. A lot of the time bronzers, especially the cheaper ones, are made to suit a 'medium' skin tone (however you...

The Essential Essentials

Wednesday, May 11, 2016
The beauty world is frivolous - we often find ourselves caught up in the glitz and glamour of the newest launches yet often forget to hype up the products that remain behind the curtain, unseen to all but the user. That's right, I'm talking the essential essentials - the deodorants, the hair masks, the razors - ya know, the unsung heroes of the beauty world. Well, today I'm going to give those...

Lessons learnt (in life and blogging)

Monday, May 9, 2016
(1) Anxiety is a natural feeling; you should never try to banish it completely because it is there for a reason. You simply need to learn when and how to control it. (2) Iced tea will always, always taste better in Asia. (3) Post graduation bliss is extremely short lived, and is quickly replaced by anxiety, restlessness and the need to sign up to every job finding website ever. (4) No...

The Reading List #6

Saturday, May 7, 2016
With work being so busy recently I've really gotten behind on my reading, so today we're going to take a look at some of the books that I'm lining up to read once I get back into the habit of it. Luckily I've got a holiday booked next month so I'll definitely be able to make up for lost time and make my way through all of these books! A House for Happy Mothers: A Novelby Amulya Malladi: In...

Tips for being extra productive when working from home

Wednesday, May 4, 2016
I'm lucky enough to have a pretty flexible work schedule, meaning that I'm able to spend a few days a week working from home. This is great in terms of eliminating time wasted commuting and not needing to dress up, but working from the comfort of your own abode can be detrimental to your productivity levels if you become too comfortable. Below I've collected a few of my favourite ways to keep...
