How I Edit My Instagram Photos

It's been a hot minute since I last did a post like this. I've been putting it off for the longest time because I've already done other similar posts (How I Edit My Instagram Photos, 3 Tips for Better Instagram Photos, How to Flatlay, 10 Must-Have Props) and I was worried I would be repeating too much of the information. As my editing style has changed quite a bit since the last time I shared, it was time for an updated tutorial!

A Saturday Well Spent Brings a Week of Content

I spent last Saturday with a couple of my friends at Diner en Blanc (thank you Bless Inc Asia for the invitation) and had an amazing time! It was really nice to have this opportunity to dine al fresco, and not let the rain (typical) dampen our moods.

My Current Skincare Routine

This post is long overdue, but as requested, here's an update on my daily skincare routine for oily skin. I like to keep my skincare routine as short as possible because I know I won't be able to follow through if it's too time consuming.

California Edventures 2018

Here are some of the edventures (edible adventures, in case you're wondering) that happened when I was in California a week ago. We were only here for a much shorter time this round, but the list of places to go was crazily long. I mean, this trip was 6 months in the planning of course I had done A LOT of research ;)

Evening Self Care Routine

It feels weird to be back before the year is over. I originally had planned for a 3 part gift guide series but after the second one went up my laptop died on me and I FINALLY got myself a replacement laptop. To say that 2017 has been a less than good year is an understatement.

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! ✧

Create Cinemagraphs From Your Phone

I've recently been creating cinemagraphs for the fun of it and a lot of you have been asking me how I do them, so I hope this tutorial will be helpful! You can check out mine here - #cëenemagraph. So, what are cinemagraphs? Cinemagraphs are made up of still photographs that hav repeated minor movement, and you can choose to save it as a video or a gif.

10 Must-Have Props

Okay, so now you have an iPhone or a camera and want to start taking photos for Instagram or your blog but feel like it's lacking in something. Props are a great way to spruce up any photos! Everyone thinks I have lots of props to play with, well partially true, but a lot of my "props" are objects that I use on a daily basis as well. Over the years I've accumulated a fair bit of stuff, so I thought I would share with you guys some essential props that you can consider getting. Literally almost anything can be used as a prop, but what makes them good for photos? P/s: these props aren't huge investment items, and are mostly kept within the affordable range. Let's go!

Hello 2017!

I hope everyone's had a lovely 2017 so far. I can't believe week 1 whizzed past just like that! If you've been following me on Instagram, I rang in the New Year in Hong Kong - pity I wasn't able to catch the incredible fireworks display as I landed in the afternoon.

2016: A Year to Remember

Typically, posts like these are done when we are literally days away from the next year, but I started drafting this post back in October because I wanted to make sure I jot down both important and less significant moments, good and bad times. Life is made up of these little moments. I was afraid that by the time December came, all the festivities would put me in such a good mood that I wouldn't be able to give an 'honest' recount of the year.

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!!!
