It seems so surreal that today is the last day of 2015 and that this is the last blog post of the year. Can someone stop the time, please? No? Okay.  Well, anyway, I decided to make the last playlist of the year party themed - everyone likes to get into the party mood and be all hyped for the celebration, and New Year's Eve is no exception. So here are some songs I've picked...

Hello everybody, I hope you've had a great Christmas and are ready for New Year's now. I'm ready to recommend some goodies to you. ○ December Album: Troye Sivan - Blue Neighbourhood I've been completely obsessed with this album even since it came out. If you aren't familiar with Troye's music (what are you waiting for?), it's pop with elements of electronic music if I do say so myself. The lyrics kill me every time...

First off, I'd like to say sorry for the lack of content yesterday, it was a bit of a hectic day being the last day of school and all. I'm back now, though.  If you're not a fan of red lipstick, but still wanna wear a bit of red on your face - go for the eyes, I say. That's a bit of a weird sentence, but you know what I mean.  I've done a...

Recently I've been experiencing lots of brow troubles - they started to get a bit more sparse and weird shaped. This obviously makes it really hard to get them to look the same and acceptable. I've realised that the only thing that can help is me refraining from using tweezers no matter what and googling ways to grow your brows. I'd been trying to make them grow using coconut oil, and when I googled this...

Here comes another tag post because I love them. This one should show you a bit of behind the scenes action, I guess. Let's dig in. 1) How many hours a week do you spend planning/writing/uploading posts? This definitely depends on multiple factors - what kind of blog posts I'm writing, how busy I am with school, how inspired I'm feeling, etc. I think that the thing that takes most time is thinking of a blog...

Today I've prepared two tips for easier application of makeup, but it's possible that you already know them. Let's see. 1) The first one is regarding liquid eyeliner. Most of us dread this step and are prone to overdoing it in order to make it even, which ruins the rest of our makeup. I've got a tip that is pretty obvious, but might be helpful. What you'll need is an angled brush and a black...

Winter break is approaching and I'm planning on using my time on it to the fullest (or something close). Here's what I'd like to do: ○ rearrange the furniture in my room ○ study for my college entrance exam ○ study, study, study ○ read at least two books ○ have lots of fun with my friends ○ make cookies ○ learn to cook something ○ be more adventurous (lol as if that's ever going...

Today I've got a sort of a beauty hack post, I guess. Recently I've been really into contouring, but given that I don't actually own a contouring product, I had to be creative. So that is when I went through my makeup collection and looked for things that could work as a contouring powder. And guess what - I found it!  I realised that my eyebrow powder duo (NYX Eyebrow Cake Powder in Blonde) is really cool...

Yesterday I was listening to music on YouTube and I let it play songs on autoplay and I had a blast listening to some oldies. It got me thinking about all the older songs I used to be obsessed with, so I'm about to share them with you now. Warning: all sorts of genres and artists included. 1. Justin Timberlake - SexyBack 2. B.o.B - Lovelier Than You 3. Lawson - Standing In The Dark...

We all knew there would be a tag post sooner or later and it just so happens to be sooner. Let's answer some questions. 1) What's your favourite Christmas movie? I really like Elf, which is the obvious choice. Besides that one, I enjoy watching The Holiday and of course I can't forget Home Alone. 2) What's your favourite Christmas colour? I find this question a bit strange as I'm not too sure which colours...

I'm on a role with all these gift posts, aren't I? I am cheekily tryna things to buy my for the friend whose Secret Santa I am. I hope they are helpful to some of you as well. Today I tried to think of things you can make yourself, as the title suggests, and don't have to spend lots of money on - just for the material I guess. ❄ Bake them cookies! Every human...

In yesterday's blog post I mentioned beauty very briefly because I wanted to write a blog post dedicated to strictly beauty items. So here's what I came up with: ❄ A good eyeshadow palette is always a good idea. It's very useful and you can find a lot of different ones. Another good thing is that a lot of brands to them, so you can find one that's in your budget.  ❄ Contouring seems to...

Everybody seems to be doing all sorts of gift guides so I thought I'd join in the fun. This isn't really a gift guide where I tell you which products to buy, just general things that make a nice present.  ❄ Books are always a good present if the person likes to read. There's something you can find for every age and each interest group. If they aren't into reading, you can get them a...

I'm in that finals panic mode so I've been staring at textbooks and notebooks and notepads and sticky notes a lot lately. That's why I thought it would be nice to give you some pointers on how to learn easier. You've most likely already heard some of these tips, but hopefully some will be helpful anyway. ○ start a few weeks before your test ○ read both the notes you took and the textbook ○...

This is my third time writing about books I wanna read, and I'll be honest, I still haven't read all the ones that I've listed. But here's my latest wishlist. 1. Irving Stone - Lust for Life (can you tell I'm really into Van Gogh?) I bought this book a few weeks ago and still haven't had enough time to fully commit to it. I've been reading books for school and studying, so I'm looking...
