Just Life | 10 Questions to Reflect on for the past year

Image
This is kind of late, but better late than never! This was inspired after watching the Youtuber, Vagabond  Youth .  I watched the video back in January, but have been meaning to write down my answers somewhere. Goodbye 2017!  1. Where were you this time last year?  Last year for new years, I went to Kong's house, I had bought some bottles on my way to his house from work. I put a bottle of wine in his mini fridge and had put it in a way where it rolled out of the mini fridge and shattered. It was such a mess. We had planned to go to his uncle's for new year's, but we accidentally fell asleep. We woke up 15 minutes before new years to watch the ball drop and then went back to bed. Also on Valentines day last year, well Kong knows what happens. 2. Where are you now? This year for new years, we made it to Kong's uncle's house. And it was a fine, grand time until the end. The beginning of this year also brought a new position for me at my work place, that ...

Shopping | A little Christmas self-buy haul

Image
I'm not sure if this happens to everyone (tell me if I'm the only one), but while buying gifts for others during Christmas I seem to manage to buy myself quite a few things as well. I feel like it's such a bad habit! But, I guess, after spending money on others (and seeing deals!), I feel a bit more justified in buying things for myself as well. Any who, I'm just sharing a few things I picked up for myself this year during my X-mas shopping ventures from Nordstrom Rack, Forever 21, and Target. Note : I did buy actual Christmas presents for other people at each store too  😂 The below are mix and matched outfits from my buys at Nordstrom Rack, Forever 21, and Target.  I actually wore the above outfit for Christmas Eve.  I super like this dress/shirt from Nordstrom Rack. I feel like it gives 70s vibes. Also these pants from Target are the perfect burnt orange color. I somewhat "styled" it with a few other shirts below. The above...

Beauty | A few tries of 2017

Image
The booster c powder has a strong smell, and sometimes made my face feel funny. Style Nanda products I would say were nothing special. I do really like the cushion though! My favorite nail color is still the burnt orange color that I purchased last year. These were buys from earlier in March this year.

Review | Online shops - Zaful and Goodmanity

Image
Those online store ads on Facebook and Instagram actually got me! Below is my quick review on a couple of my recent online store purchases from Zaful and Goodmanity. Zaful  The handful of items purchased. This shirt seems like pretty alright quality. The label also states that it's sweatshop free, which is awesome. ($14.25) This sweater is quite cute! The color and fit are both very nice. The packaging was also sleek in the Zaful ziplock bag. ($16.99). I'm not one to spend much on clothes, so $16.99 was kind of expensive to me, but this sweater is unique and worth it. You definitely get what you paid for. When I put on the first necklace (gold without the bead - $2.56), one of the metal circles was too loose and it fell apart. Although it was an easy fix with putting the metal back into the circle, it's definitely not something that should be necessary to do when you buy an item. The other two necklaces have not broken (yet). Overall though, the necklaces are...

Shopping | Local Vintage Antique Shop Finds

Image
A few Antique Store finds today! I love going antique shopping. Though it can be kind of creepy and sketchy in those stores sometimes, you can find some brilliant items! My favorite local antique store near me is Antiques on Main . This morning I grabbed some coffee and headed there before going to "work" at home. Coffee at Avant Garden before antique shopping :)  A Whiting & Davis cross-body purse ($ 22.50) When I saw this I immediately knew I was going to buy it! It's chic and the perfect size that I wish all purses were. I then looked up the brand and saw the brand is actually quite an expensive one going for $150+. It was definitely a plus that it comes with a small cross-body inside it. This bag will be perfect for days and nights out!  A Dofan France handbag ($19.50)  There was another purse similar to this that also caught my attention, but the white leather lining inside totally bought me. This leather purse feels quite fine. I like ...
