“Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment.”

2010, You Were so Effing Epic.
… and you are my favorite year so far.
You know how it feels when you have so much of a good thing that you don’t want it to end? It’s sort of like when I was reading Eat, Pray, Love, and the good feelings were coming one after another, so I prolonged it until I had to face that the book was ending. It feels like that time when you have your favorite dessert laid in front of...

… because I’d like to be the one to buy my own bling.
But no, I haven’t purchased this lovely ring just yet.
Sometime back in November, I was invited, together with two lovely friends and other beauty bloggers at the launch of premier jewelry line, Jewelmer. From the ‘ladies who lunch’ vibe at Cav (BHS), down to the no nonsense...

Hidden Reason # 3: You are giving off the vibe that you’re unhappy with who you are
This phenomenon is actually a little bit more tricky. Because although most people who give out this “unhappy vibe” truly are secretly unhappy (yes, it comes out even when they’re trying to hide it), I have also encountered a number of people who were actually happy with their lives in...

An Exercise in Savoir Faire
The last week of the year spells a lot of books closing, years to be rounded up, leaves to be turned. Being a relatively un-complicated person, the only book I’m closing is my year-long trusty BDJ 2010 planner, one that actually served me long, as opposed to its older sisters that I’ve only used about three or four months and conveniently forgot about them.
Some five years ago, I...

Things I Love // The Christmas Edition
Ah, Christmas.
I can’t believe that most of my Christmas season was spent napping and being a grinch. Well, not really because I still did my usual gift-giving and I still have a bunch of people whose gifts are still to arrive from me so I’m not completely mean. I did spend a good, few hours being a good girl in the kitchen, then got sleepy, so went to nap and when I woke up it was...
