Happy Tuesday, folks!

Hope you’re having a good start to the week so far. Tuesdays have always been quite meh for me. It’s just as bad as Monday and not even past the hump of Wednesday yet. Someone pull me over to the weekend already! 🙂

Today, instead of doing a product review, I thought I’d ask you a question about your skincare routine, particularly about around the eyes. Talk to me, folks.

Do you use the same eye cream for the day and night?

Homeward Bound

By the time you read this, I would have flown over 6000km across the Australian continent to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I’m back in my second home!

Every year, I fly to Malaysia to visit my folks and close friends. I only see them once a year so these are cherished moments. Last year I was back for Christmas. This year, it will be for Chinese New Year. It’ll be a very hectic month for me as I travel to and fro Penang and Kuala Lumpur (my folks are in Penang, Tim’s are in KL). I can’t wait to see my folks and good mates again. It’s been too long!

Chinese New Year is also a time for feasting. Lots and lots of feastings. Oh boy. I shall have to closely monitor what I eat since I recently found out that my cholesterol levels are quite high. Boo!

Anyway, I was originally going to take a break and put the blog on a hiatus when I’m away, just like I did 3 months ago on my holiday. But a month’s too long a silence on the blog so I have scheduled a few posts here and there throughout February. I won’t be blogging as frequently as I normally do, although I do hope to get some time to write if I can.

I’ll still be on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, email, what have you, if you’d still like to contact me. In other words, you can’t get rid of me. I certainly don’t want to get rid of you. 😉

Toodle-ooo for now! 🙂

Love,
Tine xx

Five Minutes with My Favourite Blogger: Kaye @ Beautiful Kayekie

Five Minutes with My Favourite Blogger is a series of posts where I’ll be showcasing some of my favourite bloggers. These are the bloggers whom I admire and inspire me.

Enjoy!

My style icon: I don’t have one particular style icon, but I do idolise the style of women in the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s. They were polished, sophisticated and elegant. I don’t think I’ve seen a photograph of a woman from that era with bad hair. Ever. Style and poise back then was a whole other ball game, and they did it all without access to the things we have today. It’s truly inspiring.

Dream holiday destination: The south island of New Zealand. I’ve already been, but would give anything to go back with my camera and a few months to kill. That would be heaven.

One random thing you can find in my bag: Quirky accessories. I make a point to keep my favourite earrings or vintage cocktail ring in there permanently so I can mix up an outfit on the go.

My favourite item of makeup: Maybelline The Falsies waterproof mascara. It has been the rock of my makeup collection and I doubt I will ever change it. It is the only mascara I have tried that holds my short, straight, lashes in an amazing curl until I remove it.

Me without Maybelline The Falsies waterproof mascara: ‘hey’.
Me with Maybelline The Falsies waterproof mascara: ‘HEEY!’.

You will never see me without: One or all of my children. I rarely go anywhere without them. The bathroom is probably the only place they won’t follow me.

I’m absolutely addicted to: Two things: Technology and Tabasco sauce.

I am a very proud tech geek who may or may not need help with that, and I can’t eat much without Tabasco sauce. Probably because I’ve burnt my taste buds clean off.

One thing on my bucket list: To write and illustrate a children’s book for my youngest son, who is a special needs child (and also coincidently one of the coolest kids on earth!). I’ve been drawing bits and pieces here and there, and hope to finish it one day. It’s my dream to write a book about love, to serve as a learning and visual aid for children and parents of these very special souls.
