Mini Kylie Cosmetics Haul & Review

24 October 2016


I've been a fan of Kylie Cosmetics since I bought myself the Dolce K lipkit and loved it! I managed to get a hold of the lipkit after the pesky brush issues had been fixed so I had nothing but good things to say about it. I bought myself another lipkit shade a bit later, a pretty nude shade "Exposed". But I had been eyeing off a pinkier shade for a while. Something a bit more suited for the Spring weather that we're in. 

When they had $5 international postage for 48 hours I decided that this was the time to strike. Why not get myself the Bronze Kyshadow Palette and Black Kyliner while I'm at it. 

Here's how they went. 

Hey Vina! - The App for Meeting Friends

20 October 2016


Meeting friends as an adult is hard. You don't truly appreciate how easy it is as a kid until you grow up. I have a memory from kindergarten asking another little girl to play with me and be my friend. Amazing! Starting a conversation as an adult might be alright but moving onto asking them to hang out or be friends is a whole other ball game. 

What if I asked someone if they want to hang out sometime or grab a coffee and they don't want to? It's awkward we just stand there, mumble excuses. It's all very stressful, well that's how it is for me. 

Enter 'Hey Vina' the new app for connecting women to form friendships. It's all platonic, it's not a dating app though there is a set up similar to that of Tinder but with profile specs for people to view. 

Cringeworthy Things I Did Growing Up

17 October 2016

 
How to narrow it down to only five things? As soon as I started thinking back to possible cringeworthy actions I've done in the past, it all came flooding back. What was I even doing?? I was the biggest dorkiest nerd loser in the world and I mostly still am. 
 
Not to be confused with my greatest hits of embarrassing moments. Cause that's already a quite popular post. No these are things I've done that at the time I clearly didn't see to be as cringey as they truly are. Where to even start. 
 
 

Couch to 5k - Third Times the Charm

14 October 2016


Depressingly enough I've failed the couch to 5k challenge twice now. The first time it got halted by an operation to my foot, which meant I couldn't run for a while, the second time I chickened out because it just got too cold.

I'm very keen to start over and give it another shot. I'm starting from the beginning again! I want to go again how I did on my first go, and still go for walks on my days where I don't do the challenge. I became invested in my fitness but I let it all slide. I now only have one job instead of two and this challenge is going to motivate me to get busy and active on my days off!

I'm happy to say I've restarted the Couch to 5k Challenge.  I'm already up to week 2!

4 Things I've Been Doing Instead of Blogging

4 October 2016


It's no secret I've been pretty lax on my blog for a lot of the year, even though I honestly love it and love creating content for it. I've put quite a bit of money and time into it over the last two years as well and I'm not planning on quitting anytime soon. 

I have actually been doing stuff apart from blogging. A lot of it is potentially procrastinating blogging, hey this blog didn't get it's name for nothing, and another huge part is me doing random dorky things that I find fun that take up a lot of time. Like playing Harvest Moon on Nintendo DS. I played it religiously for 4 days straight but I'm now giving it a bit of a break. Don't worry it's not on the list. 

Here's what is.

Stranger Things Costumes - Eleven

1 October 2016


It's no surprise that the most popular television show of the moment will also surely be the most sought after for Halloween 2016. It's an easy prediction to make. 

I love putting together Halloween Outfit posts, because I love TV & Movie characters, especially those with recognisable outfits!

In the past I've done Wes Anderson Costumes for Gals & Guys as well as the Ladies of Parks & Recreation which is fun to put together. This year I'm bringing out some easy to put together costumes for some of the characters from Stranger Things.
