Miss Salon London Launch Party

beauty February 26, 2017

On Friday I had the opportunity to attend the Miss Salon London launch party at Menlyn Maine. I really had a wonderful time and I'll definitely be returning soon.

The niht started with me getting a little makeover and I cannot even explain how excited I was. My makeup was on fleek and the best part is that with the MSL cosmetics I couldn't even feel that I was wearing makeup.

I wasn't very familiar with Miss Salon London before the launch party but I got to find out more about them and I am excited to say that I am impressed. First of all, I love the look and feel of the salon, it's the perfect example of simple yet elegant.

Miss Salon London offers a variety of services such as makeovers, manicures, pedicures, massages and the list goes on so just do yourself a favour and take a look at their site here. The best part is that you always get to enjoy some drinks while at the salon. So, if you ever want to treat yourself, you know where to go.

Overall, I had a amazing evening, I got to meet cool people, enjoy good food and just enjoy the boisterous atmosphere. Can we just fast forward to the school holidays because I desperately need to get my nails done.

Beauty Goals

beauty February 23, 2017

I really wishI had amazing makeup skills but unfortunately that's not the case. I do however, try my best and my winged eyeliner game is pretty okay I guess. I have a long list of things I would like to improve and I decided to dedicate an entire post to that. One day I will look back at this post and see how far I've come (hopefully). I don't know when I'll get to try out new looks because makeup is pretty expensive and I've got super sensitive skin but I'll make a plan.

1. Contouring because it's 2017 and I'm still trying to figure it out. What am I doing with my life?

2. I didn't like eyeshadow but I saw some fabulous looks. I decided to give it a try and all I can say is, it's harder than it looks.

3. May my highlight be brighter than my future. That's all I need to say.

4. Eyebrows? I am still not sure about this one. My eyebrows are pretty okay but they can be better.

5. Basically everything.

That's all I can think of at the moment folks. Which of your makeup skills would you like to improve?

Online Shopping Tips and My Experience

fashion February 21, 2017

Online shopping is definitely my thing and if I had more money I would probably do it more often. It just makes life way simpler and you don't have to interact with people (socialising is a lot of work). A lot of people have been asking me a couple of questions about online shopping so I thought I would answer them.

Is it safe?

Just make sure to do some research about the store and read any reviews out there. The rule of thumb is that if it seems too good to be true it probably is.

What's your favourite online store?

Definitely Superbalist and eBay. Superbalist has tons of cool items, they always have sales and delivery is pretty quick. I love eBay because you can find just about anything. I did have a problem with one of my items not arriving but I filed a complaint and I was refunded within a couple of days.

How long does it take for items to arrive?

It all it depends on the store but international items have to go through customs and this may cause them to take longer to arrive.

What if I don't want to use my bank card?

PayPal will save your life. It's a safe way to use money online because all you need is your email address. I am not really good at explaining so just take a look at the site.

How much does shipping cost?

It all depends on the store. Shipping costs are my worst enemy. Sometimes the shipping costs more than the item and that literally breaks my heart. You may also have to pay get your item from the post office.

If you have any other questions feel free to ask or if you have any tips for online shopping please share them in the comments.

10 Things That Make Me Happy

lifestyle February 19, 2017

I haven't bloged in two weeks. It's just that life got in the way and I just needed a break from everything. My phone also got stolen so that sucks but I'm okay. Since a lot of bad stuff have been happening in my life lately I thought I would do a little post to focus on the positive things. So, here's a list of things that make me happy. I am probably going to forget a couple of things so please forgive me.

1. The Internet
How can I not start with the Internet? I have met some cool people and discovered some pretty cool things. I will eternally be grateful for it.

2. My Art Journal
I started my first art journal about 2 years and I kind of lost interest in it but in December I started a new one and it is now my favourite thing on the planet.

3. Food
Mostly ice - cream, pizza and chocolate.

4. Books
I haven't been reading books as much as I would like to but I love escaping into a different world.

5. My Dog, Fiona
Fiona has been part of our family for half of my life now. I can't imagine life without her.

6. Slam Poetry
Nothing touches my soul like slam poetry. I wish I had the ability to come up with such beautiful writing.

7. Scented Candles
I wish I could afford all of them, they just fill me with so much joy.

8.My skateboard
Can I ride it? Barely but I always wanted one and now I have one so I am happy.

9. Pictures
I like looking at old pictures and it's wonderful to see that a moment can be captured forever.

10. Creating
I love painting, drawing, coding and writing because I can start with nothing and create something and that's just magical.

What's one thing that makes you happy?

Making Things Happen

life February 05, 2017

It seems as though January lasted forever but I can't help but notice how I have hardly done anything to reach for my goals. I always start off the year with loads of motivation but as soon as time goes by it slowly begins to fade away.

I don't want to start off 2018 thinking about all the things I could have done. Motivation isn't always going to be there but I have learnt that you have to wake up everyday and remind yourself why you started.

There will be some days when you are tired and that's okay. Take a break and then carry on working on what you want. It's about making things happen and even the smallest things can make a huge difference.

I am starting to feel inspired again. I'm taking my time with things and I'm realising that no matter how much I want something there will be days when I don't even want to get out of bed. That's okay because we need to recharge our batteries once in a while.

I have got big dreams but I'm also in the process of figuring things out. There are no rules and what I want to achieve now now will probably totally different from what I want six months from. It's a journey of discovery and I'm still learning. I have got goals and I'm trying my best to achieve them.

A Look Into My Art Journal #3

art journal February 01, 2017

I haven't posted I ages. I didn't use my bullet journal last week so everything got completely disorganised. I was also very tired so I decided to just take a break from everything. I am back and I am feeling rather motivated after recharging my batteries and I have also learnt a lesson.

I am also working on something quite cool but I'll share more about it in about two weeks. I am excited and I really hope it works out. No matter how messy my life may be I'll always find time for my art journal. I try to journal at least twice a week and it's just wonderful and really therapeutic. I thought I would a couple of pages I have done recently.
