Stars and stripes

As you all know, 4th of July is coming. Thus my email and Youtube feeds are blowing up with 4th of July specials. Hence I've decided to dedicate this post to 4th of July.

 Now I know I am not an American but I love the country and I still enjoy things like the colour scheme of blue,red and white, fireworks and good food and company. Most of all, I enjoy the online sales during this period! I mean, who doesn't enjoy a good sale?

On the side note, here are some pictures to get you excited for 4th of July.




all pictures were found on Pinterest, they do not belong to me


I personally love the colour scheme of blue, red and white because it's really simple and easy to match. Also, I'm able to style them differently in a lot of ways. However if you're stuck on what to wear this holiday, you should check out MacBarbie07 on Youtube for tons of great ideas!

Lastly, I've been listening to this song for the last hour. It is really catchy! I just love singing along to it and the video is really cool.  It just has a good fun vibe to it that makes you think of summer and after watching the video, it makes me want to move to California when I'm older.

fitness inspiration

When I was in Secondary School, I didn't really care much about my eating habits or felt the need to exercise because I was naturally skinny. When I went to Poly, I started to cut out a lot of the junk food because I wanted to have better eating habits and to feel healthier.

I'd finally taken an interest in fitness slightly over a year ago because I saw a lot of fitness and motivation blogs on Tumblr and it inspired me to get that sexy bikini body. I have a really high metabolism rate thanks to genetics and I am still quite thin but I didn't have the flat stomach and nice round ass. Hence I decided to start working out because I wanted to feel more confident with myself. I didn't just want to be skinny, I wanted to be fit and healthy and to look good in my underwear.

I started by following ToneItUp and Blogilates on Youtube and I really enjoyed doing the work outs. They were enjoyable and didn't feel like a chore. I think I started seeing results about 3 months later. I could see that my stomach was getting flatter and my legs were getting more shapely. 

Fast forwarding to now, it has been close to a year and a half after starting to work out. I still do videos from ToneItUp and Blogilates but I have added TaraStilesYoga as well. Occasionally I go to the gym or ride the Flowrider at Wavehouse. I do not take any protein or supplements and I know that in order to get the body that I see on magazines and pictures, I probably need to. But at the moment, I do not plan to. I know I probably still have a long way to go to get where I want but for now, I am quite happy with my body. 

Anyways, here are some pictures that really inspires me.

none of the pictures belong to me, i found them off Tumblr.

That's all for now, thanks for reading! For those who live in Singapore, please take care of yourselves. Remember to drink lots of water and try staying indoors if possible xx

nyx x milani


Nyx Matte Bronzer in Dark Tan, Nyx White Nail Polish and Milani Brow Kit in Medium

I recently gotten these items from the sale that was on Cherry Culture and was really excited to try them out as I've read good reviews on them. However, the matte bronzer looked a little muddy on me and it didn't blend well enough. I think it's because I might have bought a shade too dark, I might try buying it in Medium next time.

 I thought the nail polish was alright, I liked that it dried fairly quickly. Lastly, I dyed my hair back to dark brown and thus I can only use the darkest shade in the eyebrow kit. But I really like how I have a softer look when I use it.

That's all for now, got to study for exams. Hope everyone is lovely.
