Friday Favourites 12

Published by Ereen @ Everyday Ereen

things to be happy for this week Laneige Neo Cushion Glow When you’re a mom to an almost one year old, spending an hour and a half doing makeup is just not feasible anymore (not that I have anywhere to go in this pandemic). This cushion is absolutely necessary in my simple makeup routine as it does exactly what I wanted; medium coverage and long-lasting. It doesn’t feel heavy on the skin, too, which I really like. I will then do my brows, add some mascara and finally lipstick. Coway Neo Plus Water Purifier I never thought that a water purifier would make me happy but that’s adulting for ‘ya. It was supposed to be installed in June but we were on lockdown so it had to be postponed until some of the ban were lifted. For a few months we had been bringing a couple of 6L bottle every weekend to my parents’/in laws’ to top up our water. It was such a hassle! So so glad that we have it installed now. It’s …

Why I switched to digital planning

Published by Ereen @ Everyday Ereen

Hello everyone, my name is Erin, and I have fully switched to digital planning. Something that I never, ever thought I would say – I have ditched my paper planners and notebooks and went digital. So here’s a story of how and why I switched to digital planning (and why you should too!). To start of, this whole post was supposed to be a digital haul of the planner and stickers and notebooks I purchased and also I wanted to include a list of websites offering freebies such as stickers, planners, inserts, and everything related to digital planning. But of course I’d have to tell you the story of how and why and when I went digital and that alone would take up the whole post so I decided to split it into 3 posts; why I switched, the digital haul, and where to get freebies instead of just compiling all of them into one post. I’ve always been a fan of paper planner and notebooks. Ever since in primary school, I have kept a …

Recently hauled beauty bits

Published by Ereen @ Everyday Ereen

To be honest, I haven’t been buying makeup as much as I used to. I stopped browsing the makeup aisles at the drugstores and I’m no longer interested in watching beauty videos and taking notes of what products I’m keen to try. A few months ago I threw out a bunch of makeup and kept some that I love or newly bought, and my collection hasn’t grown since. But recently I bought some new products and restocked some skincare and I’m excited to share it will all of you. KAYMAN BEAUTY Coalface Soap (local) I don’t know how many times I’ve restocked this soap. It is the most amazing cleansing soap I have ever used that works on me, treat my breakouts, and doesn’t dry my skin. I don’t feel any tightness after using it even when I don’t use any hydrating product after. I wish that it’s available internationally so you lot can try it yourself. HADA LABO Premium Hydrating Lotion Another one of my holy grail product that I’ve been using religiously since …

The Sunday Currently: Vol. 9

Published by Ereen @ Everyday Ereen

Happy Sunday! I am all comfortable at my in-laws’ watching the Olympics Cycling Track program. A little bit bummed that we (by we I mean Malaysia) didn’t get the Gold medal for Men’s Keirin but hey, Silver is big big big achievement too! Anyway, I had a cuppa tea this morning with my nasi lemak. What more can I ask on a Sunday? Currently… Reading Nothing at the moment, unfortunately. I haven’t picked up a book in weeks. Not my proudest moment, obviously. Getting back into reading isn’t an easy thing to do. I need a reading motivation. If you have any advice on how to start reading again, please send them my way. Writing I have a few post I want to write and I will probably start writing right after getting this post up. Haul post and office tour, anyone? Watching The Olympics on TV. As for TV show, I am hooked on The Resident season 3. I’ve always wanted to be a doctor so I am living vicariously through many medical dramas; …

My blog essentials & equipment

Published by Ereen @ Everyday Ereen

The last blogging essentials post I did was five years ago so I thought this would be the perfect time to give it an update as some of my equipments and essentials have changed. We all make do with whatever we have as the most important thing in blogging I believe is creativity and not just what type of computer or camera you use. Really all you need for your blog is a working computer and then it’s all down to you and your creative mind. I am by no means a professional blogger nor do I monetise or make money every month from my blog. It’s a delight to receive monetary compensation via sponsorships or guest postings but my blog is my safe space and I like to keep it that way – my hideaway. I don’t push for sponsorships all that much and I explicitly suck at replying emails from advertising companies. I meant to reply but it kind of got lost at the back of my mind and then it’s two months …
