Santa Reckons I Need To Spend More Time In The Kitchen

Hello folks!

Recovered from your food coma from all the festivities yet? I’m still dragging myself out of one. ๐Ÿ˜›

2012 Christmas Feasts

I originally had a beauty post planned for today, but looking at my stats and traffic (many people away on holiday, hence lower traffic), I thought nah, let’s do something fun and spontaneous instead.

Let’s do a What I Got For Christmas post! ๐Ÿ˜›

Funny enough, this year, I didn’t get a single beauty item for Christmas. No clothes, no accessories, no techie gadgets either. This year, every item is for the kitchen!

Blessed Christmas! Wishing You And Yours The Same Thing Too

Blessed Christmas! Wishing You And Yours The Same Thing Too

Merry Christmas, folks!

There’ll be no posts for today and tomorrow. Beautyholics Anonymous is taking a short break! Y’know, to recover from all the overindulgence of food and wine on Christmas Day so that I can brace myself for the sales on Boxing Day. ๐Ÿ˜›

The Christmas Waltz by She & Him

For now, I wish you a very blessed Christmas and happy holidays to all. Stay safe this silly season!

Blingy Nails for the Season

‘Tis the season for pretty, arty-farty nails, don’t you think? ๐Ÿ˜›

Blingy Nails for the Season

This year, instead of the usual red, I thought I’d do something a little different. If people can decorate a white tree with dark and gold ornaments, who’s to say I can’t do my nails in black, gold and white?

Blingy Nails for the Season

As usual, when it comes to any form of nail painting that requires more than one colour, vertical stripes are the best I can do. And striped it I did.

Five Minutes with My Favourite Blogger: Gio @ Beautiful With Brains

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

Enjoy!

Five Minutes with My Favourite Blogger: Gio @ Beautiful with Brains

My style icon: I don’t have a style icon but I really admire women who always look elegant and sophisticated. Like Jacqueline Kennedy for instance.

Dream holiday destination: London. I’ve been there a few times already and, as much as I like to see new places, I can’t help but come back again and again. It’s a wonderful city and it has such a magical atmosphere!

One random thing you can find in my bag: A cute mouse-shaped USB Flash Drive. You never know when you may need it!

My favourite item of makeup: Bright eyeshadows! The brighter the better. They are fun, make my eyes pop and allow me to be creative. I love experimenting and coming up with new colour combinations.

You will never see me without: Sunscreen with SPF30 or higher. And lip balm! I feel naked without lip balm.

I’m absolutely addicted to: Books. All kinds of books bar horror. I have stacks of them at home and more than 100 (that I have yet to read!) on my Kindle and I can’t stop buying new ones. I love books because they allow you to travel to different places without a passport, help you to better understand the world we’re living in and always teach you something new.

One thing on my bucket list: I’d love to live abroad (preferably in London hehe) for a few months. I think it would be an exciting and life-changing experience.
