I'm so excited to be sharing about my favourite scents for Spring! Fragrance plays a huge role in my life, and I love to be reminded of certain times with scents. It's kinda like time travelling, don't you think? I know we're a little into Spring now for this post, but better late than never! Life got the better of me after my last post and I just couldn't find time or the inspiration to sit down and write. 26 May 2019
Scents for Spring
I'm so excited to be sharing about my favourite scents for Spring! Fragrance plays a huge role in my life, and I love to be reminded of certain times with scents. It's kinda like time travelling, don't you think? I know we're a little into Spring now for this post, but better late than never!

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.

Summer-Ready Makeup
Summer is just right around the corner, unless you live on the equator chances are we face the same season all year round. Anyhoo, here are some new beauty releases that I think you NEED for the summer - but of course, you're an adult and can make your own decision ;)

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!

Nailed It
Happy Friday guys! Recently I have been really into neutral/nude nail polish shades as it goes well with my personal style, and you can't go wrong with such classic colours. While preparing for this post I had a hard time deciding which shades were considered neutral or nude. In the end, I chose 4 of my favourite nail polishes that I swear by, ranging from drug store prices to high end!

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.

Monthly Favourites: May
Can't believe half a year is almost over! I bought a couple of things this month (oops), read a new book and re-discovered some old makeup. I genuinely love all the products mentioned below, hence I'm doing this post! Hope you guys will find something you love in this post, if you did, please hit up 'like' at the end/share with me in the comments your new finds this month!
As I'll be travelling in June, I decided to get this roll-on perfume because it's convenient and it will fit in my carry-on makeup bag. Hopefully, this will keep me smelling fresh on the plane as I will probably not be taking a shower for at least 24 hours. I've never heard of this brand before, but I just couldn't resist the scent. You guys know that when I travel, I always get a new fragrance because I would like to be reminded of my vacation the next time I use this perfume again - who wouldn't, right?
Speaking about smelling fresh, I also recently bought Fresh's Lip Balm. This has been a product that I've seen a lot of others using, but I never got around to get it. However, recently I felt that my EOS lip balm is no longer effective to moisturise my chapped lips so I decided to get it (plus Sephora had a 20% sale). Since it's a tinted lip balm, on lazy days I can go without applying any lipstick.
My next favourite is a re-discovery. They are the Revlon Colorstay Moisture Stain in the shade Parisian Passion and New York Scene (how apt). Initially, I didn't quite liked how they smelled and how it felt on my lips but I've grown to like it and Parisian Passion has become my staple colour this month. Perhaps the scent faded away since the last time I used them. Pros: smooth and even coverage, long-lasting — survived a complete meal and needed minimal touchups.
Happy to be back to the juice life! Changing my diet and living a healthier life was my goal this month, to get my body back to shape before all the binge-eating happened. Juices are usually what I have in the afternoon, in the morning I drink water that has been infused with mint leaves, lemon slice and chia seeds. I typically prepare the night before, and have it together with my breakfast.
And the last favourite this month is a book! Currently I'm reading The Road Less Travelled by M. Scott Peck. I haven't read a book since the start of this year, because I have the attention span of a kid. This book was recommended to me by a friend, I'm only 3 chapters in but I am really enjoying it so far. I'm bad at explaining scents and books, evidently, so I will not try to explain this book to you but it is along the lines of self-enrichment. If you're into those kinds of books, I highly recommend it! You can get it via Book Depository, here, they ship worldwide!
P.S: Decided to throw in this last song favourite - Hideaway by Daya
P.P.S: I'm finally done with university, for now. Passed all my final papers, looking forward to my graduation when I'm back home in August.

March Vibes
Can't believe that today is the last day of March! Where did the time go? March has been a really hectic month as it is my second last month in University. Finally graduating after 2 years, but kind of undecided on what I would like to do in the future. Thankfully I have till August to give it some thought.
March has somehow also been a month full of big decisions and changes - good ones, I hope. The best part of March has to be the day I got a waffle machine (no this is not one of the big decisions). You guys know how obsessed I am with pancakes and waffles because they are so easy to make. With this waffle machine, my life is so much easier. The strangest part of March was definitely when I found myself craving for alcoholic drinks. My friends all know that I hardly/almost never drink any thing with alcohol but lately I've been getting random cravings and I think it's amusing.
Well! Thank you all for being part of this wonderful journey and making my first quarter of 2016 so fulfilling! I am really excited to see how the second quarter unfolds + finally got my graduation trip planned!
