YES, I bought new stuff for the summer (inspired by the sun) ! So let's go! I've been trying a lot of different brands of eyeshadows and I'm here to share them with you .

Hey everyone, Welcome back! Today I'm gonna tell you all about my Cotswold trip. =D It's a weekend trip , away to the Cotswold. We decided to stay in Cheltenham which is the biggest town in the Cotswold region.  Let me tell you about Cotswold in general & why it's so well known. It's famous for it's historic villages & English heritage. Most of the villages have preserved their buildings from the old times & each have a special touch to them. So if you're into nature/ architecture / history, this is the place for you to getaway.  With a little bit of insight to Cotswold, our aim of this trip was to explore Cotswold as much as we can & at the same time, make it a nice romantic getaway. So let me show our little place for the weekend. We booked it through airBnB . If you like to be redirected to the site itself, click  here  . It's not only affordable for a quick weekend trip, the place was AMAZING . Yes parking was...

Hey everyone, Welcome back! Today's post is going to be about relationships. I haven't done one in AGES. I figured it's about time & plus it was something I was going through myself, seeing how I haven't been in a long term relationship for a long time till now.  So something I struggled early on in the relationship was having to get used to sharing space. I know it sounds ridiculous but I never thought it would be such a difficult thing to experience. I suppose I'm someone who likes my own space then, because I had to retreat to my own home & do my own routines every so often and it's during then I feel myself again which I felt bad for because I didn't want my partner to feel uncomfortable having me around and etc so in the end we talked it out and I realized this. I'm going to share you my experience & my take on it so listen up ;) I hope it helps if you're in the same situation as me before. Let's begin with these t...

Goood Morning everyone, Welcome back! In relation to my birthday last month in August , I've decided to share a post with you all. I can't believe i'm turning another year older. Yeah, I still may be in my 20s but dang, I feel old! Those days of looking forward to birthday parties seem so long gone. Anyways, I decided in relation to it, I'd like to do a post about turning older - about realization & growing up. It's amazing what you can learn about yourself as you turn a year older so let's get into it. First off, I must say - turning older, I can start to see my levels of motivation & inspiration starts going down - I become more serious & less time to have fun and etc which is why I'm here to take a step back & take control of myself once again. I've got 3 strategies that can help you on a day to day basis to make sure you have full control of your life. =) 1.) Say more of 'I want to' more than 'I need...

Hey everyone, Sorry I took a few weeks off for a break before I get back into blogging :D Anyways, I am back and I've got more posts coming up for you this month. Let's begin today's post is a quick , easy comparison between these two facial wipes.  I don't know about you but I went through this phase of figuring out the best make up wipes and I'm gonna admit, I was drawn to the packaging more than anything so with that, I was on the hunt for a great make up wipe that I can use on a daily basis or even just on occasions. Let's begin!  So the two that I bought for this round was the  Garnier Micellar-Oil infused wipes  and the   Loreal Fine Flowers Make Up Wipes  . Both are reasonably priced & equally available easily to buy & you get 25 wipes in each packet. With that let's get right into the review of it. Let's begin with the  Garnier Micellar-Oil Infused Wipes  1. The cloth itself is thin and not entirely s...

Hey everyone, Welcome back. While it's still Summer, let's take this quick moment to share with you my favourite summer fragrance of 2017. First disclaimer: I'm the kind of girl that loves perfumes but I haven't found the right one that isn't too strong or overpowering for me, so I tend to stick to light body spritz or body mist . I also take ages to finish one bottle so here are my favourites of the year & the ones I've been obsessed with this summer. The first one which is the oldest out of the three is my  Zoella Sweet Inspiration Body Mist   . I got this the first time I moved here back in September 2016 and I've been using everyday since then till July. Just recently finished it & I love it. If you love coconut & vanilla - this is perfect for you. It's sweet, light & feminine. Price of is 8 pounds which is on the pricier side of high street body mist but I think it's worth it. It doesn't last very long but ...

Hey everyone, Welcome back! I got this quick post for you today about 5 thoughts you can remind yourself to make your day extra happy & extra positive.  They say : Inspiration doesn't last forever that's why it's recommended to get inspired everyday . So I hope these quotes help you feel better about your day :)  ✩ Don't lose faith, have hope. Life is so unpredictable that we tend to focus on the bad things about life than the good. We tend to remember the bad more than the good when really, we're forgetting how amazing those happy moments are to us. So when you're in your lowest moment , don't forget to have faith. Have faith that it will get better & you'll be happier. It may be tough now, but that won't last forever.  So just go out there, chase after your heart's content & do things that make you happy. Distract yourself with happiness instead of trying to push the problem aside. -------------------...

Hey everyone, Welcome back! So as some of you may know, I've moved. Life has been a bit crazy this year & things have changed so much & for the better too which I'm super grateful & glad every step of the way.  I was living in a smaller city, on an island actually before this & I've noticed a lot of difference since then and now. Because of that, I'd like to dedicate this post to the changes that has occurred in my life & the changes to it since. Living in a bigger city firstly means, more people. It means, more things to do, more social life involved. There are good and bad in living in a bigger city but let's begin with the good as always ;)  The Good Things About City Living 1.) Variety With variety comes things to do, comes changes & less feeling 'stuck' doing the same thing over and over again. One of the biggest thing that bugged me is, what happens after you've explored the attractions , what ha...

Hey everyone, Welcome back! Hope your day has been going great so far. I figured let's write a positive happy post today! When life gets you down, come up with more ways to forget about it!  The last thing I would ever do is to sit around & let for it to past. Nothing gets me going more than doing something that I love or something that benefits me.  Here's 5 ways to enrich your life 1.)   Detox retreat/yoga retreat Take a spa day or a nice holiday retreat to mentally & physically detox your body from your everyday routine. Not only is it good for you to getaway but sometimes we need to slow down and restructure our life to live in the moment. 2.) D igital detox If you can't go away to some place, why not try digital detox. We spend so much time with our devices almost every minute of everyday that we become dependent on it but when really, there is another whole world out there of things to do without your technology. Time to get lost...

Hey everyone, Welcome back. Haven't really written much about relationships in a while, that's because I've been trying to figure out how to make my relationships better. Mine tends to run into arguements every now and then and most of the time I realized, it's because of me. I'm the cause of it by wanting to have some space to myself whereas not everyone understands how important having space to oneself is about & some may take it offensively.  So here's this post to explain if you're in a similar situation as me, why having space in a relationship is important to the both of you. First off , here's a question: IS IT NORMAL?  Yes , it's perfectly normal to want to have some space to yourself when you're with someone. No it's not because you don't like them or you have an issue BEING with them. It's because you need your 'me time' and that's normal.  So how to deal with having your own ...
