BEAUTY | MAKEUP LOOK

Last week, I went to my best friend's wedding and did my own makeup. It was an outdoor reception so I didn't want to look too heavy on the makeup but also tried to make my makeup stand out under the sun if it makes any sense. 

It's been ages since I wore makeup again. I always do my eyebrow and put mascara every day I walked out of my home, but this is pretty much my daytime glam makeup look and I had fun doing it.

Here are the products that I used for this look.  

ANOTHER FEBRUARY

Each year in one of the days in the month of February, I celebrate the day I was born to this universe. The day when I was lucky to have a chance to create a meaningful, wonderful journey on the planet earth. 

Last year, I was lucky to be given an amazing life lesson. I had so many memories that I'd cherish forever, those that I'd like to tell to my children, my grandchildren, and maybe keep going as I go. Life lessons that I want people I love to know, my mistakes that they won't make. 

I was never a perfect person. I will never be.

WHAT AN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP TAUGHT ME

Aireys Inlet, Victoria.

Some people might think that the longer we knew people, the more we knew about them. I thought so too, but in my case, I was wrong. In fact, I knew nothing.

The red flags didn't pop up immediately, although I might have been too busy to fall in love with the idea of love to notice them. Or maybe he was just so clever to hide the other side of him. As days changed into months, he showed me who he really was and I was slowly losing myself.

They said experience is the best teacher. I learnt so many things from that relationship. I'm not going to call it my relationship anymore because I no longer possess it. Now, that relationship is just a thing, like a piece of paper or maybe a receipt of my Sephora shopping. It means nothing. But the lessons I learned have followed me into my current life.
