Year: 2018

29.12.2018 | I’m Engaged!

Published by Ereen @ Everyday Ereen

This has got to be the highlight of my 2018 and also one of the biggest turning points in my life because I just got engaged to the love of my life yesterday morning! Alhamdulillah, I feel so blessed and thankful because I have been waiting for this moment for so long. It was a very intimate ceremony with our close families and friends and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I had 25 days to plan my engagement ceremony and thankfully everything went well yesterday despite not having that much time to prepare from A to Z. I’m all over the moon right now and if I could repeat the whole day again, I totally would! I will be doing a more in-depth post of how I plan my engagement later but for now, I’M ENGAGED YOU GUYS! Eeeeeeeeeek!

A Life Update.

Published by Ereen @ Everyday Ereen

I usually always start a blog post with “Hi! Do you still remember me?!” after a long hiatus because it’s the only proper thing to say when you’re guilty as charged for abandoning your blog for weeks (like I have been doing more than I care to admit. whoops!) Nonetheless… Hi. Hello there. I’m Erin. It’s nice to meet you again. I’ve been gone for a long time. I have no excuse for that. I pre-wrote a few posts last months but they haven’t seen the light of day yet because I couldn’t be bothered about the visual aspect of things. I’m such a lazy arse. I HAVE NO EXCUSE FOR THAT!! I started a new job …last month. Having a day job will always be the number one reason why I couldn’t write as often as I used to. But a girl needs her income and sometimes you can’t choose what you have to sacrifice. I’m trying The Ordinary Alpha Arbutin serum I ran out of TO Niacinamide a few weeks back so while doing my Niacinamide …

First Week Impression | The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%

Published by Ereen @ Everyday Ereen

Hey pretty gals. Before I get into the post, I believe I need to put a disclaimer that this is not a review of The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% serum. I am not reviewing this serum in its entirety. As you can read from the title, I’m only sharing with you my experience slash first week impression of using this serum. Where to get in Malaysia I ordered online from TheBeautyStuffXO which is Iman Abdul Rahim’s online shop (Twitter skincare OG) for RM50. I believe you can get it cheaper elsewhere but then you’ll have to wait weeks for it to arrive and patience is what I lack. Skin concerns I have quite a sensitive skin. My face turns red everytime I got out of the shower, when the weather is too hot, or when I’m being rough on my skin. Sometimes when I’m in a rush I rub on skincare products with so much pressure and my skin hates it. I also have food allergy and unlucky me, those are the food …

November Bullet Journal Setup

Published by Ereen @ Everyday Ereen

Hi pretty things. In this post I’m going to share with you my bullet journal setup for November. This is my first official month of using my new bullet journal (as I’ve used it ‘unofficially’ for the second half of October) and I went with a minimalist theme inspired by Chlóe Kian on YouTube. I honestly do not plan what theme I’m going to do for each month as to me bullet journal is supposed to help me organise my life, not making it harder with decorating and drawing my bullet journal according to themes especially when I know I have no ounce of creativity in me. Some people get put off by bullet journalling as they think that they have to decorate it with four hundred and fifty seven different brush pens, I mean, having that much brush pens is not a crime but you don’t have to heavily decorate your theme just because everyone else does it. It can be however you want it and sometimes, less is more. Monthly spread: Keeping it …

The Littlest Things That Inspire Me to be Productive

Published by Ereen @ Everyday Ereen

I’m in a state where I am not a student nor am I an employee, and though as much as I love not being both, it’s taking its toll on my productivity because I am literally sleeping, eating, and Netflix-ing the whole day. I do some bullet journalling and scheduling posts every other day too but I feel like such a slob and it’s time to be productive again. My 15 days of ‘unwinding’ is coming to an end. Hopefully. And here’s the littlest things I do to be in control again. Using Magic Mouse again Now, now. Hold that thought and hear my explanation for a little bit. I am a heavy laptop user and obviously with a laptop comes the trackpad but I recently found my Magic Mouse in my gadget bag and oh god I forgot just how much I love using a mouse. It makes doing everything on the laptop easier and I always use my laptop on my desk anyway so it’s perfect. I feel like I’m taking control of …

New Bullet Journal | Collins Legacy A5 dotted notebook

Published by Ereen @ Everyday Ereen

Hi pretty things. So I had a little bit of incident with my old bullet journal that I’ve only been using for like a month. My roommate back when I was still co-living dropped her eyeshadows on my desk where I put my makeup/laptop/bullet journal without cleaning it up. I didn’t notice the mess that has been made so I dragged my bullet journal that was on far left of my desk to the center because obviously I was going to journal. So, my old journal cover was this fabric velvet thing and honestly no kind of liquid can fix it once it’s been ruined and I was just not in the mood to write on it anymore. I did wrap it with marble contact paper but the feeling of knowing that it’s ruined put me off from further using it. Last Thursday, I went to IOI City Mall with my boyfriend and I went looking through journals at Borders. I wasn’t planning on buying because it’s expensive and I still have my old one …
