Why Beauty Blogging Is Not For Me

I used to beauty blog a lot. If you’ve been following my blog since 2014, you would know that I posted a heck lot of product reviews that year because I’ve just had a bad breakup and your girl needed something to do other than crying on her bed so beauty blogging was the answer. I put up beauty posts sparingly throughout the years until… I just don’t anymore. Beauty blogging is expensive I mean, where is the lie? Even drugstore products are expensive these days. I’m not going to spend hundreds of ringgit every month just to purchase every new product on the market to review and that is from the drugstore, everyone, not Sephora. Not to add the fact that my skin is sensitive and 85% of the products don’t work for me. I’m just not enthusiastic enough I loooooooove makeup and skincare and finding products that work for me but I’m just not that enthusiastic enough to be posting beauty-related posts every week. Beauty blogging is not a be all end all …

What I’m Watching on Netflix Right Now

Hi pretty things. Today I’ll be talking about the series I have been religiously watching on Netflix. In case you are not up to date, I am in between jobs (read: totally JOBLESS) right now so I have shitloads of time to spend on Netflix. It’s the first tab opened on my web browser so you can guess how many episodes I went through last week. *cough*it’ssixtyepisodes*cough* Dexter I watched Dexter back in 2016 until the fourth episode and only recently started watching again and OH MY GOD WHY DID I STOP THIS SHOW IS SO GOOD! I kinda hate the 4th season finale because someone died and it left a hole in my heart that absolutely nothing can fix. Rest in peace, **** ******. Elite A Spanish tv show that someone claimed to be a mix of Gossip Girl, Skins, and Riverdale. Now I have never watched Skins (I tried but didn’t like it) but I do love Gossip Girl and Riverdale so I hope I will like Elite, too. Luther I’m only watching …

My Bullet Journal Supplies

Hi pretty things! Today I’ll be showing you my bullet journal supplies that I have bought specifically for bullet journalling for the past month. I am quite happy with my supplies right now although I could use more brush pens in assorted colours #addicted. I must say that I am still a novice in bullet journalling but it is not a hard concept to grasp so with a little bit of studies on YouTube (read: bullet journal videos), you can create a suitable bullet journal system that suits your needs. The notebook The most important thing for bullet journalling is of course, the notebook. You can use whatever notebook you have or you can use the one with dotted pages like I do (and the rest of the bullet journal community do lol). The notebook I’m using is the Unicorn Giornale notebook in pointed pages. I think Unicorn is a Malaysian brand so it’s not very hard to get here. You can get it at Borders or AEON or online stores like Lazada and Shopee. …

The Sunday Currently: Vol. 5

Hi pretty things. I am bringing The Sunday Currently back to my blog! Woohoo! Do note that I will not be doing this every week as my blog will be swimming in these posts if I keep posting it every Sunday. So here goes. Reading I am not currently reading anything. I was supposed to read Wedding Night by Sophie Kinsella for the month of September but I have too much on my plate right now. Reading is not on top of my list, sorry. Writing A bullet journal supplies. I have finished editing the photos and I’ll try to finish it by Monday and have it scheduled on Tuesday. Fingers crossed! Watching If you’re that clueless, it’s To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before. You don’t even wanna know how many times I’ve watched this movie OH GOD I am ashamed. Listening I am obsessed with Anna Of The North’s Lovers album. The song Lovers is featured in To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before during the jacuzzi scene and I ‘accidentally’ listened to the …

5 Things I Currently Treasure Right Now

Hi pretty things. Today I’ll be talking about a few things that I treasure the most right now. Not that I don’t treasure everything else but these are just what I held the most in my heart and I do think that my life is better with them in it. Am I exaggerating? You’re absolutely right. My blog I mean, is this even up for debate? If I would spend a ridiculous amount of money on blog themes when pay day is not in another two weeks, pretty sure I love it so much I’d die for it. Not going to lie, revamping your blog can be super inspiring so if you want to get out of blogging rut, I highly suggest changing your blog appearance. It could be as little as changing fonts, headers, or your theme colour. The choice is up to you. As for me, I have been itching to write ever since I revamped my blog but a girl had to go to work so I’d have to wait until my …

A Long Overdue Blog Makeover

Hello friends. As you all may know, ever since I resumed my studies February last year I haven’t been the best in keeping up with my blog. I was consumed with my life and studies that I sort of fell off the wagon and never put up regular updates anymore. Initially, I wanted to focus on my blog after I was done with final exam of final semester last May but I got a job and I’m always so tired after work to even be able to write a post, let alone making time for blog photography. But if you read this post, I talked about leaving Shah Alam for good and this will be the last month that I’m living here. I know that not everyone enjoyed their time away from their family but I really like living independently. I like having a job and contrary to popular belief, I love having housemates. Anyway, since I’m coming home I thought about focusing on my blog and be the blogger I once was. So to celebrate …
