Happy Wednesday, people!

Once every couple of months, I like to do an Ask Me Anything post. It’s when you and have a virtual cuppa together and chat just about anything.

Do you have any questions, anything about beauty or blogging? Are you having any issues with your blog but just don’t know where to start to fix the darn thing? Do share it with us. A problem shared is a problem halved. You never know, someone may have the answer for you. Plus any blogging-related questions will help me greatly in writing my Bloggie Wednesday posts.

Even if you don’t have any questions, do feel free to drop in and say hi. Tell me about the latest lipstick you purchased (I haven’t bought any in months. I kid you not. That must be remedied at once!). Tell me what you had for breakfast (mine was Milo. Who here loves Milo? *waves hand frantically*). Tell me what’s been annoying you lately (the warm weather + high humidity + hay fever = a very cranky Tine).

Ahh my order is finally here. One hot cuppa Milo. Come on over, I’m waiting for you! 😀

When it comes to sleep, it very much depends on my mood of the day. If it’s generally good all day, then it takes very little for me to doze off as soon as my head hits the pillow. But if I’ve had a lousy day, my mind tends to start racing with too many thoughts, which makes it very difficult for me to sleep.

Over the years, I’ve come up with some whacky remedies to try to get me to sleep. One time, I consumed one too many anti-histamines in hopes that it would knock me out. Oh it did all right, but man I felt even worse the next day. I was extremely lethargic and was a huge cranky-pants. Big lesson learned.

In time, I came up with a recipe that would help me sleep. These are the things I’d do to ensure a good night’s rest.

Just a quick one today, given that I’m kinda in a holiday mood even though tomorrow’s Melbourne Cup has nothing to do with me 😛

If you’re in Melbourne today, head down to Federation Square for manicures by Sally Hansen. Like last year, they’ve set up a mobile manicure booth at Fed Square for anyone game for a quick manicure.

The only charge per manicure is a gold coin donation to Look Good Feel Good (a free community service program dedicated to helping Australians cope with the appearance related side-effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy such as hair loss and changes to the skin). A great initiative for an important cause, and you get swell-looking nails. Win!
