Graduation 2012

It's my one and only younger brother's graduation day from completing his Masters of Science in Pharmacology from Oxford University.  My parents came all the way to attend his graduation before we off for a small family vacation.  I decided to wear and go for a very simple look.  I have been having a make up transition maybe because it's Autumn now, therefore I have been going for more smokey eyes and nude lips.

October Purchased

Image
Can't believe that it's November already, Xmas is just around the corner and 2012 is nearly over.  So far October has been a fun and relaxing month for myself and I just want to share what I have bought and my current must have in my make up bag ^^  I have been wanting to try out Too Faced products and have been hearing the rave about it.  Don't get me wrong, I love my MAC, Coastal Scents and Bobbi Brown eyeshadows.  However, I felt that Too Faced Eye Palette is convenient if I am travelling or just going for a night out without having to bring so many different colours in one bag which is quite annoying sometimes.  So, my plan was only to buy one to try out but I ended up buying the whole range except the romantic look (arrghhh annoyed with myself sometimes).  I bought all palettes from Boots Piccadilly Circus apart from the Natural at Night range as it's sold out everywhere.  You can get them from Beautybay , beauty and hair website where you ca...

Life

Everyone has their own life story, so have I.  Throughout the years, my life have been filled with adventures, where I experienced not only bad times but also good times and I never stop learning through those experiences to define who I am now. I have decided to write this post because I want to share and hopefully this will help and motivate others as everyone has their own ways on how to live their lives.  It will be an ongoing life experience and I have no intentions to offend anyone out there. I still can remember when I was a kid where you fear nothing and you dream of being whoever you want to be.

I was a chubby little girl and have darker skin whilst my brother, all my cousins and friends were thin, pre...

How am I getting on with my daily routine whilst staying home.

Image
Going into week nine with a slight ease down but I do hope that everyone is doing well, staying busy and keeping sane because I absolutely am or I have to say I am enjoying every second of it 😁 I have to say that I have been doing pretty well working from home since 17 April 2020. I think one of the reason is because there's not much changes in my routine because I'm still working five days a week and workout every morning. I do have to say that at present the advantage of working from home is that I gained an additional two hours sleep and I don't have to travel to the office for the foreseeable future.  In addition, I also get to spend more time with my baby girl so who has the time to complain right 😍 Here we go: I always start my morning with a cup of hot lemon, and ginger tea mixed with 1 teaspoon of collagen peptide, +/- 1 hour morning walk around the estates, quick workout before getting ready for work. Except on Sunday morning where I will have pancake i...
