Hey everyone, It's been a long long time, Let me begin again by saying hey, how are you? Hope you're doing well! Welcome to 2020!  Gosh time flew so quick in 2019, before I knew it- it was over! There are a couple of things I've learnt in 2019 that I would like to change in 2020. Here are a couple of them. 1) Pay more attention to the time I have left before it's gone. 2) Be more productive in what I do, daily. 3) Have a plan or an aim each month to work towards 4) Stay connected with my friends 5) Be more discipline  6) Listen & trust myself more. As you can see, the trend here is to use my time more efficiently. That was something I did not fully apply in 2019 which is why I felt the year went really quick and nothing much has changed. In fact, I felt like 2019 - I procrastinated so much that I have wasted days and nights doing absolutely nothing but watching Netflix.  Well, I need to change that habit! I know it's alrea...

Hey everyone, Welcome back. I've got a short and sweet post about my daily self care routine. It's something I'm trying to incorporate into my daily routine after work so it's work in progress but I hope it helps remind you the importance of taking the time for yourself to nourish and listen to your body & mind before the day ends. These tips run with the same headline which is 'do what fuels your body to feel happy'. Whether it's with exercise, eating, socializing, journalling, watching TV, reading - you do you. No matter what it is, there's no judgement here so long you know what makes you feel relaxed and can help you forget about your daily stress, then you're on right track. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For me, here are some of the things I have to do after I come home from a long day of work. 1) Take a shower/bath.  The...

Hi everyone, welcome back! It's been a while. Well a good 9 months break shall we say from blogging. To be honest, I lost my blogging mojo which was why I did not blog for such a long time. The effort it takes to plan a blogpost, get the right pictures, edit them, write the post & make sure it's posted and share it appropriately, was taking up too much of my time on top of my full time job that I do daily so I do apologize for being MIA for so long. BUT I AM BACK.😃 I would like to get back into blogging  as I realize I've missed letting my creative juices flow every once in a while. So I may not post very often for now, but I will keep you updated on my socials when I do. =)  -------------------------------------------------------------- As for today, let's start with a lovely post about my first time to Croatia 💕 We were there for 4 days and we decided to just explore Split instead of visiting Dubrovnik. We decided to visit somewhere less ...

Hey everyone, Welcome back! I hope you've been well. As I'm recovering post op, I am getting better which is 👍 so I'm back with more newer post to share with you today. As I've learned from November 2018 till now when I was dealing with my health issue, life has taken me down a path I've never been before.  From realizing what really mattered to challenging me to go out my comfort zone - it's amazing how beautiful life is 🌺 . Life can be so unpredictable but at the same time,somehow makes everything align. I did loads of reflection during this whole journey and the most important lesson I learnt was how important connecting with my inner self is.  📌 I've realized how much time I have focused on what others think of me and pushing away my thoughts and feelings. During this whole journey, I put more pressure on myself by taking on more things that I could - by trying to prove people wrong and by making myself as second priority. Despite w...

Hey everyone, Welcome back. I got a quick post here for you today. I haven't been painting my nails a lot for a long time now and to get me back to loving them again, I decided to gain some nail inspiration from Pinterest and I saw these images on there . 💅 Angora Cardi     💅 Hear me aurora I found these two shades on there and just instantly fell in love. It's the perfect shade for me during this fall/winter time. So I decided to go out to Boots the other day to get them. I must say, nothing screams winter like new nail polishes that reminds me of this festive/winter season.  Essie nail polishes comes for a fixed price at 7.99 pounds each . I already owned a few of essie nail polishes from their light shades to more opaque shades and they are amazing 😍 . The brush allows you to coat the nail with a few strokes and with minimal bleed.  On top of that, unlike some brand of nail polishes, I find with essie's - there is no nee...

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'. For example, let's say you think being 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. Relationships in general aren't easy. They need lots of TLC (Tender Love & Care) and  a balance between spending time with your partner and doing things for yourself which is not easy. It isn't just about having dates & being romantic all the time. 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.  ...
