Beauty is...

Beauty is...
A week of: exhaustion, tears, laughter, melancholy, hysterics, window-shopping, singing and feeling bogged down by stresses. I wonder whether there's a day when stress flies out the window because the concept of being stress just disappeared from the world. Can human beings do anything without…

Review: Nescafe Double Choca Mocha

Review: Nescafe  Double Choca Mocha
I'm doing another small-review on another of Nescafe's Cafe Menu instant coffee series. I finally finished the box of Nescafe Skinny Mocha (click for my review) and needed some more coffee, since it's the time of the month when there's a LOT of stress going on.... coffee may not be…

How to Boil Eggs using a Kettle

How to Boil Eggs using a Kettle
Have you ever wanted to boil an egg for breakfast, lunch munches or a late night snack, and just didn't have the time ? For me, living alone in a tiny room (temporarily, thank goodness) means that sometimes I just want to cook and enjoy a hot snack, rather than sandwiches and bread all the time…

Beauty Review: Mud Therapy - Aloe Vera Mud Mask

Beauty Review: Mud Therapy - Aloe Vera Mud Mask
I bought this tube of mud mask from Superdrug last week for a meagre  £ 2.39, and have been using it for a week. I thought it would be good to do a little review for this beauty product just in case there are those who are considering buying this off the shelves.  As with most clay masks, the instru…

Excitement and a rumbly stomach
I spent yesterday evening, yes, a lonely Friday night, taking photos and recording my first ever circle lens experience! Lensvillage.com was kind enough to send me a pair of beautiful GEO Starmish Gray Princess Mimi Medical lens that were 14.5mm and in beautiful dark colour! Here is a small previe…

Decorating a Beach wedding

Decorating a Beach wedding
There's much hype about these so-called "Beach weddings" in the last decade or so. Maybe people are straying away from traditional weddings (like my cousin's last week - cartoon drawings of the bride and groom!). I'd like to just talk about a particular wedding theme- the Flor…

Exercise .... Rants

Exercise .... Rants
So I decided to clean up my unhealthy lifestyles (too much junk food and coffee .... And chocolates ) by joining a gym. I went really diligently for three days and was really proud of my workout summaries. The machine was kind enough to post these blue screenshots for me up ! Then... I had a huge …

Weddings & Red

Weddings & Red
A few weeks ago I went to a wedding - thought it's about time I posted something on that ! The theme was "Red and Pink" as the bride and groom (cousins) wanted a really modern wedding... They even had adorable cartoon drawings of the two of them plastered right in front of the room! …

Review: Skinny Mocha Nescafe

Review: Skinny Mocha Nescafe
Having arrived in a new country to embark on work, the first thing I brought was a box of Nescafe Skinny Mocha from the supermarket. Coffee is something that I've grown to love (and can't really live without these days) and mocha is my favourite sub-species of coffee! Who doesn't love …

Guest Room Blog - Types of roommates !

I recently embarked on a foreign internship program, in a land that I know and love. It's an unpaid position but I do get a reference letter and plenty of relevant experience, or at least I hope so! It starts tomorrow, but for the last two weeks I lived in a temporary room in a hostel. What'…
