Things to Do at Home

It's All Rosy Here: A Roundup of Rose-Scented Products
I've always been someone that favoured the lavender scent over any other scents. But as I was decluttering my cabinet, I came to realise that I actually have so many rose-scented things. So here I am, sharing with you guys my top rose-scented picks, so that you can stop to smell the roses literally anywhere.

Evening Self Care Routine
ANYHOO, I don't want to end the year off on a bad note and since many of you took interest in my evening routine I thought I'll do a post on it and the products I use! You probably have endless Christmas gatherings and New Year Eve parties to attend so make yourself a cup of tea and let's get to work! ✧

Gift Givin: Home and Stocking Stuffers
In this part, I'll be sharing some ideas for home gifts and stocking stuffers. Home related gifts are always perfect! It can be for someone who has just moved into a new apartment, or someone who really loves decorating their interior spaces (that would have to be me)! Some of my favourite places to shop for the home are at H&M Home or Ikea - affordable and great designs. Sadly, we don't have H&M Home in Singapore yet so I'll either snag up a few pieces when overseas or bear the exorbitant costs of international shipping.

Testing Hair & Beauty Products
I have been trying out a few new hair and beauty products recently and thought I would share my first impressions and thoughts on them. SPOILER ALERT: I actually like all of the products.

Cëe's Kitchen: Nutella Pancakes
Happy Pancake Day! If you know me, you know that pancakes are one of my favourite food to have for breakfast because it's so easy to make. Now, I'm always up to try different variations of pancakes and this here is something I've never tried before (unbelievable, right?) There's 2 ways you can have these pancakes, either as nutella pancakes or nutella-stuffed pancakes. We all know the latter sounds so much better! The recipe for both are generally quite similar, except for some parts, but I'll try my best not to confuse you.

Triple Layer Biscoff Cake
Ending the year with one heck of a bake. What was originally supposed to be a double-layer 6" cake turned into a triple-layer cake on the spur of the moment, anyway a little more Biscoff wouldn’t hurt anybody, right?

Quick and Easy Festive Treats
A few Christmases ago, I did this and this year, I have 3 different treats for you to try. Spice up your holidays or just #doitforthegram! I've adapted most of these recipes from Pinterest, and kept it really simple (no baking required) by using ingredients that you should already have laying around the house. Check back in a couple of days for my last bake of the year - Biscoff Layered Cake!

Weekend Bake
Would I sound like a total homebody if I said I once spent an afternoon binge watching The Great Australian Bake Off? Anyway... Over the weekened I tested out a biscoff cupcake recipe I found online and am really happy with it. This was probably one of my most successful bake ever. Everything went really smoothly (almost) and I finished baking within 2 hours (what an achievement lol). But just in case you're wondering why the frosting looks so inconsistent, halfway through piping my piping bag gave way and the nozzle flew out. *Just when I thought everything was going smoothly*

Cëe's Kitchen: Orange Popcorn cupcakes
I recently got a stand mixer, so I decided to make some cupcakes to test it out. Initially I wanted vanilla cupcakes, but since I couldn't find the premix at the supermarket I settled for the orange flavoured one instead. I did, however, made my own icing (recipe below) and topped it with salted popcorn and caramel sauce - this is the ultimate weekend treat! Instead of using sweet popcorn, I used salted so that the cupcake wouldn't end up being way too sweet. Overall, I think the flavours complemented each other really well and you should give it a try!

20 Days of Flatlay Challenge
I always get asked what inspires me and how do i create new content almost every single day. While most of my content is based on my daily life, trust me, there are days when i’m just bumming around and cracking my brain for ideas and get nothing!
The purpose of this flatlay/a photo a day challenge is to help you (and me) get inspired! You don't necessarily have to create a flatlay, just follow the concept for the day. The first few days may be difficult, press on and hopefully by the 5th day you’ve gotten used to the tune of things! If it's too much for you, take a break, skip a few days and hop back on when you're ready to.
By the end of this challenge, I hope that you will know what it takes to take a photo or create a flatlay (e.g. the importance of good lighting, how to play with angles, or which colours go well together) but most importantly, I hope you have fun!
Let's begin this challenge together on the 11th of November (when this post goes live you have 4 days to prepare) and it will run all the way till 30th November. Before you start, save the image below to your device so it's easier for you to refer to. Don't forget to use the hashtag #20DaysofFlatlay for me to check out your photos/feed. Oh! And you may want to read my post on how to create a flatlay. If you’re already a pro, 20 days of photos, here we go!
Here's a guide to help you out!
Day 1: something new that you got this week
Day 2: your morning routine - since it's the weekend, you should have the time to do this. anything that's part of your morning routine (e.g. coffee, tea or even skincare products)
Day 3: today's outfit - if you're at home, like me most likely, then show us your cutest PJs
Day 4: monday blues - channel your hatred for mondays by creating a flatlay with colours you think don't complement each other *cringe*
Day 5: hands in frame - this doesn't have to be a flatlay, unless you want to
Day 6: texture - some suggestions, but not limited to marble/concrete background or glitter/sequin item
Day 7: your work desk - hey, 1 more day to the weekend!
Day 8: what makes you happy?
Day 9: indoor space - your living room/your dining area/your bedroom
Day 10: a photo that didn’t make the cut - hopefully it’s not in the trash by now
Day 11: while commuting
Day 12: travel tuesday - together with your flatlay, share with me your experience from your recent trip/where you want to go next
Day 13: on wednesdays we wear pink, right?
Day 14: an organised mess
Day 15: different angle - remember I mentioned about angles in my post, try to shoot something from a different perspective today
Day 16: live life colourfully - we're talking about colours that complement each other here!
Day 17: is it sunday brunch or breakfast in bed?
Day 18: seasons - fall if you're in the northern hemisphere and spring if you're in the southern hemisphere. And meanwhile, there's me on the equator
Day 19: your favourite colour - mine's rose gold/copper, what's yours?
Day 20: you're a pro now, so you decide. also, IT'S ALMOST DECEMBER!!!

Storage Hack: Lightbox Letters
This post is for those of you who own lightboxes. You may have encountered difficulties in storing the letters that were given, like me. When I first got mine I had no idea how I was going to store them, and tying them into a bunch with a rubberband was definitely the worst thing anyone could do - how do you find the letters you need? So here's a quick tip/hack for those of you who have these letters laying around. This post is as OCD as I can get, sorting and organising just makes me so happy! ;)
The only thing you'll need: name/business card holders - preferably the long ones. Grab whatever colour you fancy!
Tip #1: Store them in alphabetical order
This is the most fun part for me, as I had to sing the alphabet song over and over again. I'm 22 and let's be honest, I don't really know what comes after J if I don't sing the song. Am I embarrassed to say this? Yes. Please tell me I'm not the only one.
Tip #2: Don't squeeze too many into one pocket
Some alphabets, especially vowels, have more than 3 pieces and if you try to squeeze all of them into one pocket, what is likely going to happen is 1. the pocket may tear and 2. it will be difficult to take out. I did not purchase any additional characters so thankfully it all fits.
And, that's just about it! The next time you want to change up your lightbox, you can find the characters you need easily.
As usual, if you found this post helpful, I would appreciate if you could hit the 'like' button below as it gives me a good idea on what you guys would love to see more :) P/s: School's out which means I will be back to updating this space regularly just like it was before uni took over my life.
