My Current Skincare Heroes Feat. su:m 37, Kiehl’s, Beyond & More
I was just chatting to my bae Sigute the other day, and mentioned how much beauty stuff I brought with me to Malaysia. As a slightly OCD obsessive who gains great joy in the smallest of triumphs, I’m very proud at how much of my beauty stash I’ve worked through. From boxes on boxes and bags of…
Tea & Me: A Love Story
I’m in love with tea. It’s true; it’s been a long time coming, and for the keen observer, it’s pretty obvious. I’ve never tried to hide it, although my interest has admittedly waxed and waned over the years. But I recently made a commitment to renew my passion for this divine drink, and by golly,…
My Epic Eurotrip Comedown Continues (Part 2)
I recently wrote about experiencing the biggest travel comedown of my life, and the shadow cast (in a good way) by this monster trip still has not waned. It’s forever engrained in my mind; a real-life fairytale captured in time. Yes, this may seem a bit romantic and gushy, and it wasn’t picture-perfect all the time (especially…
My Weird Obsession With Finishing Things
I’ll be honest here: I’ve known for quite a while I have OCD tendencies. I remember as a kid, I would not want to step on the cracks of the pavement because… well, I don’t even know why. I just remember it leading to me taking really big strides balanced with lots of tiny little…
Experiencing The Biggest Travel Comedown Of My Life (Part 1)
Hello world! You may have noticed an absence around these parts, and yes, I’ve been gone a while. But I haven’t just been sitting on my a$$ watching Netflix (although, there has been a fair bit of that too)… we just arrived back from a 5.5-week trip to Europe, aka the Trip of my Life. I…
I Went On A Juice Detox And Here’s What I Learned
Yesterday Gav and I decided to try a La Juiceria one-day juice detox. La Juiceria is a fancy schmancy juice chain in Malaysia, although I get the feeling the concept has definitely been copied from Melbourne or somewhere equally hip. Quite possibly Singapore (although I haven’t been back since a brief layover in 1996, so…
A Long-Overdue Collection of Empties
I’ve previously written about my excessive and arguably unreasonable beauty stash, but I haven’t discussed my progress in a while. Well, I’m sure you’re pleased to know that I’m slowly but surely working through a number of products, and I wanted to share my thoughts on a few that I’ve finished recently. Do note: this is…
How To Do City Breaks in Malaysia
If you saw my recent post on the Cameron Highlands, you’ll know that I’m in a bit of a travel frenzy right now. Nothing too crazy, but there’s definite yearnings to explore new territory — which I’ve decided to satiate with well-timed city breaks in Malaysia.
Two Body Shop Favourites: Vitamin E Moisture Cream & Mango Body Butter
I’ve always been a fan of The Body Shop. It’s just always been there. I remember being in the store in Southland as a kid, and being so fascinated by all the delicious scents and “flavours” of products. I also remember when they brought out makeup, and they had these incredible bronzing balls that you…
I’m In Love With The Cameron Highlands
Recently I’ve been feeling a bit like a chicken in a pen: cooped up. Since coming back from Melbourne in late March, we hadn’t left our little enclave, and I was starting to feel it. Not that our life in Malaysia is bad — far from it. In fact, my unsettled-ness might be because I’ve lost…
