Thank you :) And ahh it could have been possible! You should come up and say hi, unless I look super unglam then it's okay. haha! Kidding!

Thanks for asking but I think as far as the wedding goes, I am actually keeping that a private matter because it does concern relatives and a lot of personal friends. I do mention what I can on my blog without dragging my closed ones into the lime light (as much as possible), even if they don't mind it as I do respect their privacy on that matter. I didn't outrightly broadcast I was married because if you ask me, it's not a matter I particularly feel strongly about since there really is no need for a huge ceremony to celebrate the union of 2 people willing to spend the rest of their lives together. Though to answer your question, I did marry by law and also through the whole traditional ceremony starting from the morning till night. I have photos and documentation of the event but I like keeping those for private viewing and I hope you and perhaps some others who may be curious about it would respect my decision for this :) I understand that blogging does mean you have things to account for to your readers, in a sense, but I share what I feel is co-related to my blogging and marriage itself doesn't change much on there, aside from moving over which I had also briefly brought up on my blog itself.
Sorry for the essay but I hope this answers your question, perhaps puts some queries and the fact that it was such 'a bomb' to you at ease and hope you can better see why I chose not to discuss my marriage openly via a social platform like my blog. Thanks. -
Glad to know people are interested about that adorable fatty!
He belongs to my boss at my previous workplace and he roams the office because she can't have him at home. Though of late he was recently put up for adoption and a family with 3 kids had taken him in thus he's not really offizcat anymore :( I will miss that cat but glad to be able to share his cute sides during the time I spent with him! -
A personal favorite of mine is the Shu Uemura Pro Gel Cealer. It's a little on the dry side but it does a good job of really covering spots up.
Another option is MAC's Studio Fix Concealer but I find that can feel a bit greasy in the pot and get messy. You can go to the counters and check both of them out and decide! Also, Amazing Cosmetics has some amazing looking concealers too but I haven't given those a shot. -
I actually haven't tried them just yet. My lids are back to normal and while I don't want to 'curse' myself, if they do get wonky again I will whip them out to try! :)

I actually prefer Quincy more for the whole all-inclusive feel and due to the design of the place it feels like I'm staying in some service apartment and it's really homely despite being a hotel!

I know how that feels! Well lucky for me it got a lot better as I got older. It was hell when I was in primary school and it slowly went away in secondary school. I've learnt that abstaining from seafood definitely helps so it's a good thing I'm not too huge a fan of prawns and crabs but keeping my shellfish intake is quite a challenge. On top of that always moisturize your skin, always! Once your skin is dry it has a tendency to itch. Also, it's good to have aloe vera on hand to sooth a mild rash and also a stronger eczema cream for the more resistant ones. I find that using balm moisturizers (like Elizabeth Arden's 8 hour cream) works well for rash spots.
All in all it's a lot of being careful not too take too much seafood, drinking water and moisturizing! Eczema wouldn't go away forever but keeping it to minimal and small break outs will have to do. I'm still battling some here and there and am not free from them :( -
I hope I do too! I'm starting to talk myself a little nowadays but realized I'm losing that video touch! Think stammering and going into blank spots while talking. Hope I can get that back along with time to do some videos!
-
Yes I still have it but it's a lot better now. Sadly eczema isn't something that goes away, the only thing to do is keep it under control.
-
It depends and I tend to touch up mainly when I have a reason to, like parties, festive events etc. Generally I'd say about 4-5 months between each session which isn't very regular but good enough for me.
-
I really like my light auburn hair period and kind of want to go back to that!
-
Thanks for saying that! Well, the main culprit for my breakouts then would be teenage hormones and glad to say that my skin has settled down a lot more now. I still go through the occasional but in terms of skincare routines I've actually made it a little more complicated over time. I will definitely be doing an entry about this routine that I'm using right now but generally I would say to adjust your routine from time to time to suit your skin's needs. Most importantly always be sure to cleanse off all makeup and impurities!
-
Got a few questions about this so I'll first address saying I definitely do not recommend a self tattoo method because it's not hygienic or really safe if you use bad equipment. I did this when I was younger using everyday things and thinking back with my eczema, things could have gotten bad so I'm just glad nothing bad happened and like I said I don't recommend it so I really wouldn't go around explaining how I did it :)
-
Aww thank you for still thinking of my videos and watching them. I'm nor giving up on making them and might just do so when I get time in future, who knows ;)
-
It honestly depends but like everyone says, do bargain! I noticed the trend now is to give a lower price if purchasing in bulk so it helps if you're going with friends to get things together.
-
Been good, thanks :) busy but what's new!
-
Hmm I don't know actually but I don't have a whole ton. My wardrobe is in need of some siting cleaning but I'm generally not a huge clothes shopper (clothes shopping abroad doesn't count!) so the amount is manageable!
-
Hmm, I would say to just live life!
Do what you want to do and while sometimes it's good to analyze what you are doing and the options, there's no harm in taking a leap of faith and see where that takes you! I think life is too short to be in constant doubts and hesitations so live it to the fullest and if anything were to happen you wouldn't have any regrets. That would be my general take on life! -
Right now orange-ish ones. Though a reddish flush is quite lovely too!
-
Say of you're going for a subtle natural look you could go with for a winged liner or even skip liner and just do mascara with a fairly neutral toned cheeks, like a soft red blush for that flush but nothing too strong. The key is keeping the rest of the face 'clean' so the red lipstick doesn't look too much.
