Hey everyone, Welcome back. Hope you are having a good week so far, today this post is about how we need to take more time to slow down & to accept that life is not a competition. Not everyday do we remind ourselves to just relax & enjoy the time we have today - we end up moving forward constantly without looking back.  This post, I am going to take a moment to slow things down & just appreciate what I have. I would you to do the same. Just take 10 seconds, close your eyes & just be grateful . GREAT =) Now let's get on with the post about enjoying life as a journey rather than a competition. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- First, I'd like to share that success is not only measured by wealth but in many different ways & it is defined personally by each individual what they think of the word 'success'.

Hey everyone, Welcome back to another brand new post! Today we're writing about relationships. It's about how to deepen your relationship with your loved one  . If you're in a place where the honeymoon phase of your relationship has passed and you're feeling a bit lost with where you should be heading now & it's starting to make you feel bored , here are some things you can do with your partner to improve your relationship with one another.

Eventually, it becomes about dealing with realistic problems together which is all part of the story.  So if you're in similar scenario as such, I hope this post helps you with ways to improve your relationship with your significant other.  ...

Hey everyone, Welcome back! Hope you are all doing well?  I was going to ask a random question? I've been seeing loads of youtube videos on lifestyle and self-love and etc. Would you want to see that kind of content? If so, comment down below or let me know through twitter cause I'd like to know what helps you & what would you like to see.  Anyways, today its about waking up feeling motivated and I say this for myself, I'm NOT a morning person . Getting up early in the morning for me is a big NO. I've been trying for years to wake up early. Tried techniques of sleeping earlier and waking up 5 mins earlier to setting an alarm to go TO bed but all that never seem to work until FINALLY - I experienced it myself ONE day !  So this is what today's post will be about - that ONE MIND BOGGLING DAY!  :D In order for me to experience waking up feeling motivated , I realized these were the things I did to wake up the next day -ready to go! 1.)

Hey everyone, Welcome back! Today I'm going to write about growing up & how it changes us to bring us where we are today. WARNING : It's going to be a deep post. ;) Yes I do love writing deep, either expressing my deepest thoughts and sharing them with the world. Anyways, when it comes to growing up, its one of those things where I'm still getting grip on. Its a hard transition not going to lie. One moment you're living your student life & the next, here comes the bills, insurance & responsibility. :O Here's how to make that transition less TOUGH on yourself physically and mentally. 1.) Start to accept that it's merely part of life. Growing up means being old & mature enough to take control of your life. It's about taking some of the responsibility your parents hold for you to ease them & to help them relax a little. By accepting that it's natural & its a normal path of life, it ease the worry of 'w...

Hey everyone, Welcome back! The new year definitely brings me new motivation to write up my blog more, which is good. It also brings me new light to trying out new products & sharing them with you all. So feel free, if you've tried any of these to let me know how did it work for you. :)  I got 4 major products here that made a significant difference to my skin whether it's on my face or on my hands or even on my lips, so here are the 4 key products I'm using this winter. Let's begin with the first product. This is the second bottle I've used. Ever since I discovered this product from   Nip + Fab  , every time it goes on sale - I stock up to use as a plumping serum. It's a gel fresh like consistency and a little goes a long way. I love every bit of this product. From the design from the bottle ( I know how weird that sounds) to the actual product itself, it does a great job for my skin. I notice how plump my skin is & also h...
