The pink bubble

Posted in Thoughts, Uncategorized by

When you have been single for a while and meet someone you like, it is very easy to be sucked up by emotions you have wanted to feel for a while and believe. The pink bubble is born.

Makeup covers everything

You believe in words that are just words. In fact, it is very easy  to fall for words. It is very easy to make someone into something they are not, to believe in something that is not there, to have expectations, to create an ‘imaginary boyfiend’. A man you want that person to be.Because you want to believe and coz you’ve been alone for a while and you are a romantic soul. You want your imaginary boyfriend to be real. Well, I guess he is real, but you want him to be your real.The pink bubble gets bigger.

But how easy is it for a real person to fill the shoes of an imaginary boyfriend. The one you wish for. the one you try to make someone into. How often have you heard the phrase,

He will change……

Should he? Why? Coz that’s what you want?

I often tell my friend D. that whenever something isn’t going the way you want it to, just act dumb. Act dumb. Just don’t say anything. Don’t burst the pink bubble.

Of course, I never listen to my own advice. I never act dumb or maybe I do, and then I snap out of it, and say what I want to say.Then the bubble bursts.

Then, when the bubble bursts, there are two ways to go. Be real and forget about the freaking bubble. Accept the other for what they are and move on building an honest relationship or give up and create a new pink bubble. There is actually a third way. One of wanting the buble and the other not wanting the bubble.

Bottom line….

Finding someone who makes you happy is hard.

Bottom line under the bottom line…….

It’s all about a bubble or lack of.

If you have bad eyesight like me, I think that eyeshadow crayons are the way to go because they allow you to have a better control of what you are using and there are not that many chances of fallout.

You can watch the video here. I know the lighting is funny, but I am still trying to figure out how to film.

Thanks for stopping by. Don’t forget to follow me somewhere somehow (check sidebar/ YouTube).

Have a lovely day/ night.

My Night time Skincare Routine

Posted in Beauty, Hauls, In your 40s by

Hi everyone!

I have never written a skin care routine post and I thought I’d share with you what I used every night before I go to bed. I am not a skin care fanatic and I do not moisturise every night. Sometimes I forget, other times I am lazy and others I just tell myself,

I’ll do it tomorrow.

But I do have some tips. I did make a video with what I use and that’s what the focus is today.

Top Tip

You should let your skin breathe and never, ever sleep in makeup.

So, let’s start with some context.

I brush my teeth and I wear my pjs. I always wash my face with a mild cleanser. At the moment I am using the Caudalie facial wash. I also use the Clinique Redness Solutions facial wash.I then use my Exuvience Serum and my Estee Lauder Night Time Serum. I always use a hand cram and a lip bakm. Sometimes I use a cuticle oil on my nails and I often apply castor oil on my brows cause that is supposed to make them thicker. For a more detailed analysis and mini reviews of these products, watch my video. Don’t forget to subscribe to my channel if you liked what you heard.

So, there you have it!!

My Planners: Kate Spade Agenda, Colour Crush & Happy Planner

Posted in In your 40s, Planning by

Hi everyone,

I have officially gone…… nuts and, yeap, I made a ‘proper’ YouTube channel (prepare yourselves for what follows).

One of my first videos is about planners because I love planning, organising, planners and pretty stuff. So, pour yourself some coffee, get some pop corn and watch me chat about planners.

If you want to, you can subscribe to my channel, but there will be a lot of makeup talk there , so consider yourself warned. Having said that, any support is appreciated….

❤

So, here is a post about different planners and how I use them. You may get some ideas.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hi everyone,

Time for October favourites, but this time my favourites are in a video on my YouTube channel. I’d love it if you watched them and subscribed to my channel. I know I still have a lot of improving to do regarding filming, lighting, ‘makeuping’ my face (:p) and editing, but this is fun, so give this chick (aka me) a chance.

Hope you like my newbie video.

Oh! I also have a One Minute Video Beauty Vlogs about things I love beautywise. You can check these out by watching this. They are funny. Like weird snap chat style videos. 🙂

Thanks for watching!!!

H&M Cosmetics Haul: My 1st Video

Posted in Beauty, Hauls, In your 40s, Thoughts by

So, I have always wondered about whether I’d like to make videos and move to YouTube. Thing is, I like watching YouTube videos, I am chatty, and I am definitely not camera shy. So, I tried to make a video today and it kinda failed. My camera stopped recording in the middle. Some footage is missing, my face is fat, and my hair is all over the place. I fidget a lot. I also forgot to swatch one of the lippies, so of course this is not going on YouTube, but I am sharing it here cause:

  • I did do a small H & M haul.
  • It is important to be able to make fun of yourself and not take yourself too seriously.

So, here are my 1st video. Excuse my face. I never realised I made so many faces :p

Here is the lip gloss and swatches in pics. I know, I know. I sucked at this xxx

and swatches

and then part 2 coz my camera stopped.

So, this was my first lame attempt at making a video. I have learnt a lot and will actually be uploading videos on my YouTube channel. I will make a proper H&M cosmetics haul video (again) cause some of the things I bought are missing. I am also going to change the background and film some planner reviews, a skin care video and a clothing haul. If you want to subscribe to my channel, I’d love that (<3  <3). Do click here. My videos will be going live this week (just in case you are sitting at the edge of your seat).
