I read in a magazine last year that the first 12 days of  January determine how your year will be. The first 12 days of 2016 were quite amazing,  much better than last year so I'm hoping that the statement is in fact true but I won't hold my breath. This year has also been quite confusing,  I have to start thinking about...

I love stationery more than I love chocolate and trust me, I looove chocolate. As the school year is now in full swing I thought I would share my favourite stationery. What better time than now, right? 1. Pencil case: I have had this pencil case for about two years now and I'm not planning on getting rid of it anytime soon. You...

I love getting braids but I hate sitting in the salon for hours. This dilemma is the reason I rarely get braids. Last year I only got braids once but with the school year beginning I decided I needed a break from combing my hair (trust me, it's a lot of work).  When I walked into the salon I had no idea which...

The holidays are over. The decorations have been taken down, everyone is going back to school and work, it's just so hard not to notice that the festive cheer has vanished. Thanks to Elle Magazine a little bit of the cheer has been brought back with this wonderful nail polish from Catrice that came free with the January issue.  It is a vibrant...

Ever since I started drawing I've learned a lot more than just drawing techniques. I wanted to learn how to draw for quite some time but I just kept brushing it off. Early last year I asked myself how I can continue wishing I could draw and then not anything about it. So I picked up my pencil and I started to draw...

I can't believe it's the last week of the school holidays. They definitely went by in a flash but I'm happy to have gotten a bit of a break. I'm equally excited and nervous for the school year to start. This is my second last year of school (yasss) but that also means more hard work because these are the marks I'll be...

The new year is always a great encouragement to try something new. It's a new beginning, a fresh start. New year, new me? Not exactly but I did try a different shade of lipstick. I always go for red and burgundy but this time I decided to opt for a purple hue. Not such a big difference but hey, it's something.  The lipstick...

Dressing up is always fun but it's not always easy. Finding the right dress for a certain occasion can prove to be a struggle. I recently heard of Rosa Novias Au  which is a company that sells all kinds of dresses at an affordable price.  From simple dresses to wedding dresses and everything in between. I've found some great dresses from their website...

It's the first day of 2016. Can you believe it?  Last year was one crazy roller coaster ride but I must say it has been a great one blog wise. I learnt so much and I have grown so much as a blogger especially in the last few months.  I've gotten to work with some pretty amazing brands and I have met some...
