Her Little Loves 23
October is coming to an end so it’s time for the latest edition of Her Little Loves. You can catch up on previous editions below.
The month passed by ever so swiftly, and it’s going to be the month where my teenagehood sort of ended with Liam Payne’s passing. I’m having a hard time swallowing the fact that I won’t be seeing them all five on stage, ever. Like, ever. It was a hell of an era.
Nonetheless, here’s a collection of all the little things I’m fond of, at the moment:
01. I made focaccia bread! It took me a few solid months to finally do it and it’s the easiest and the best thing ever. I made it four times already and it’s so delicious!
02. Every morning, I’d bring a glass of warm water to my desk and crack open my journal. I start by writing the day and date, and write away everything I could think of. It’s the best practice for my mental health so far.
03. Last week, my husband and I went tile shopping with my mother-in-law for their new house. I’d never thought tile shopping would be so fun!
04. Binge-watching TV shows during the day is a great way to accompany this mama at home. I am now currently watching The Resident season 5. I’m trying to finish TV shows I started that have already ended so I can just remove them from my watch list once and for all.
05. This blog has been renewed until October 2025! I talk about the blog redesign here if you fancy a read. I love this theme and it feels light and airy that I feel an eagerness to write more on my blog.
06. I’m turning 30 years old next year so I want to start incorporating retinol in my skincare routine but before I can do that, I am still breastfeeding my youngest (she’s 3 and she just wouldn’t wean off) so I opted for its bf-friendly sister–the bakuchiol. OH MY GOD. It’s game-changer. I love how my skin feels in the morning and it doesn’t break me out. Major love.
07. Liam Payne’s passing is not in this list but my love for One Direction emerges again after the news. It’s like the Directioner in me has woken up from a deep, years-long sleep. FOUR is my favourite album from them and why did I ever stop listening to them again? They’re so good! There’s not one bad song in their discography (some you may like less than the others but even the least likeable is good!) I’m Harry’s girl again.
08. Adulting is realising you don’t need a load of beauty products–just really good, really functioning ones that suit you best. I rehomed a lot of beauty products to my sister. I’m quite happy with my small collection of makeup as they are the ones I reach for the most.
09. My favourite coffee order from Zus Coffee is their Buttercreme Spanish Latte with less sugar and Lydia beans. I must say that we are boycotting Starbucks, still, and I won’t be going back because we have a lot of good coffee here in Malaysia. Yums.
10. A few months ago, I received a small inheritance from my late grandmother so I thought I would use that money to buy gold. I ended up with two gold rings that I’m obsessed with. I don’t wear it at home because this mama has two kids to care for but I will stack one of them with my engagement rings and they look so good together.
