Laura Mercier Blush Review

Image
Hello beautiful people :) Hope everyone is doing great and thank you for dropping by my blog. Last weekend I was in Kuala Lumpur back home for the long Chinese New Year weekend for about 5 days. They do not have Sephora in the small city where I work, pros- I spend less, cons- I need to wait to go back to KL to shop for certain things. And if you know me, I love shopping. It is so therapeutic and makes me happy ;) So back to the topic, I got a new blush! I was searching and asked around. I narrowed down to 3 options: Anastasia, Tarte and Laura Mercier. I actually wanted Anastasia Beverly Hills Blush Trio Peachy Love. I was in love with the 3 colours, I could mix and match and choose a particular one for certain days. However, it is out of stock, online and at the store that day. I am not going back to KL anytime soon and I needed one urgently so I got the Laura Mercier Blush Colour Infusion. I was deciding between Chai and Fresco. Both are nude colours sort of or like bronze colo...

Happy 2019 :)

Dear all, happy 2019!:) Hope everyone is doing great. Urgh, 2 months since I wrote here. Life for me at the moment is super hectic. I am either working or spending quality time with people around me. Speaking of which, last week was one of the busiest week ever. I came home late almost every day so I was out more than 12 hours every single day. A mixture of work, social events, and other commitments. I was working on something new as well, an interesting new part of my work but also quite challenging. When I accomplish 1 task, I feel satisfied and relieved because these things, I have not learned before at university and it is all new for me. Alhamdulillah it is going well. I feel with a bit more practice, I can do it fast and efficient in no time. When I am spending quality time with people, I avoid being on my phone so I can focus on whomever I am with. If I want to post photos, I either do it briefly or do it after when I am by myself. On Friday, I left the office at ar...

Life Update and Motivational Reminders

Dear beautiful readers, I am in a hotel room in Muscat as I am writing this with a cup of hot lemon and honey. I am ready to sleep but before that I wanted to write a quick blog post. After posting some photos on Instagram of my geology field trip in Oman, I felt like blogging about it but I know it will take some time, hence motivational post it is. Plus, tomorrow is a Monday so hopefully this can be a good read for any of you out there to combat Monday blues. For me, Sunday is a working day here and lately I am so confused with the days because Sunday feels like a Monday. I like what I am doing here so when it is time to start again, I get pretty excited. I felt the blues after our geology field trip ended. It was so good, it felt so different the day after the field trip ended. I missed it so much. At least I am still here in Oman. What makes it even greater is the people and the environment. I like the weather, the people are lovely masha Allah and so warm, everything is beauti...

Ways to Manage Work Life Balance

Dear all, Hope everyone is doing great. It is a Monday and I am back in the office after going on a business trip for a week. I just had dinner, my veggie- bitter gourd, long beans, eggplant and spinach, my sour plain yoghurt and white grape juice with aloe vera. Healthy dinner tonight plus 2 of my favourite chocolate Munchy biscuits hehe. On my business trip. it was all heavy and fancy dinner every night  ;) so this is a healthy change. Now, I am listening to my playlist and the latest song there is 'Be Alright'. I have no idea why that song always makes me want to tear but I still like the melody. Nothing heals the past like time.......they can't steal the love you are born to find. So deep... so meaningful.... On a positive note, I received a request on this blog topic. How do I balance work and life? I have been personally asked this question many times. Ask yourself - which one has a priority right now for you? My quick answer to that question my dear is that it ch...

How to Cope with Being Different

Dear all, Hope everyone is doing great :) I have not written in a month, oh dear. Did not realise how time flies! Today I am randomly choosing a topic, something that I thought everyone can relate in some way. Everyone is different and unique to some extent. Everyone can and may feel different from everyone else, be it something you can physically see or you cannot see. The physical difference is immediately apparent but there are many other things that are not. It is sometimes these unseen differences that are of greater concern because they cannot be seen immediately and dealing with it can also be tricky. The good thing is that people do not see these differences and you can easily blend in a group that are completely different to you. Did you know that feeling different from the rest normally occurs to people who are mixed-blooded? If your parents are from a different tribe or race, chances of the child feeling different are high. If the parents are from different countries, t...

How to Feel Good About Life and Yourself

Dear beautiful people, How is everyone doing? Hope everyone is doing great :) Sending love and light your way. It's raining outside and I am just resting on my bed with my current favourite song, Happy Now by Zedd. Went for a jog this morning, then went for grocery and came home to cook lunch. Had a quick, simple lunch, nothing fancy hehe. I have been feeling like I needed some alone time and also needed to get work done so this 3-day weekend was perfect for that. Surprisingly, it has been pretty good and I have been enjoying my own company hehe. I will be catching a flight soon so this has been some really good recharging time for me. I really was not sure what to blog on next but then I saw someone's instagram post with a wonderful motivational quote and it made me feel like writing something motivational. It said 'You can go through hell and still be nice'. On another post it said 'Surround yourself with those that see greatness within you, even when you do...

How To Turn Bad Days Upside Down

Dear all, Hope everyone is doing great and having a nice relaxing weekend :) I have not blogged in 3 weeks as I have been super busy starting August and before I know it, it is 19th August already. While deciding my blog topic today, I was choosing between this topic and life updates. Then, I thought let's have a fusion of the two. I have many life updates to share and also I want to write something motivational that can hopefully motivate you. Tomorrow is Monday and the start of a brand new week. May it be a wonderful start for all of you.  Where should I start? Oh dear, so much has been going on in my life at the moment. So Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday have been eventful days. Bear in mind that Wed, Thurs and Fri were still normal working days so I was at the office the whole day and these happened after office hours. On Wed, I had a full rehearsal at the hotel for the event I was hosting on Thursday. Thursday was the BIG day we have been waiting for. It was an ex...
