Travel Make Up Bag

Don and i did a little traveling when he came to visit me. We went to Bangkok! When traveling, i try to keep to my makeup bag light by only taking the essentials. I always struggle to figure out what make up items to bring me with me. I tend to over pack my makeup because i don't want to forget anything important! Don't you?? 

Love Don't Know What Distance Is

Don left a few days ago after weeks of wonderful, blissful time together. It was one of the best times we spend together. We have always been a close couple. We were friends before we got together, spending (a lot of) time together comes naturally to us. I think we grew even closer after this visit. I know a few couples who can't stand being around their partners for an extended period of time. Don is my best friend. Everything we do together is double the fun! Prior to the recent visit, our last visit was five months ago. It was too long. It felt like forever! I missed him so much that the word "miss" can't justify how much I was missing and yearning for him. The weeks, he was here went by so fast, I am trying hard to remember what we did so I can reminisce them. 

August Goals

Another August goal is to drink different blend of coffee every day!

I have decided to make this a monthly feature. It helps me stay on track with my goals and i can always check back on my progress to see how 'productive' i am and see what I've achieved. Can you believe that August is already here! Boy, you came along really fast. Can't believe it's 5 months into the next year and I can still clearly remember what i did on New Year's Eve. For most of July, I was really busy getting ready for Don's visit and sorting adult things like banking, preparing for Eid, servicing my car, etc. It was like i went on a 'holiday' and left things hanging. Technically, i was on a 'holiday' when Don was here, but that shouldn't be an excuse to not have things on track! 

Below are my August goals

Breakfast Date

My favourite meal of the day is breakfast, but my biggest problem is waking up early for it. I love hearty breakfast/brunches. I usually go savoury in the morning - Big breakfast, Smoked salmon on egg benedict, a bowl of noodles in beef broth or a typical Malaysian-indian breakfast, Roti Canai AND coffee, our vice.

What's In My Handbag? Bucket Bag Edition

One of my guilty pleasures is handbags. I see handbag as investments. If you pick the right handbag, they can last for something. Centuries. I stand by this because my mom has passed down her vintage handbags to me from her early 20s and they're still in great shape. They have little wear and tears from usage over the years, but nothing a bag spa can't fix. I got this love for handbags from my mom. 

A couple weeks back, Mom and I went to a mall with the intention of "just going to buy a pair of ballet flats and head back home" <- those were her exact words. On the way to the store, we passed by Oroton - "let's have a look, just look." 

"Let's have a look, just look", she says. We both walked out with a bag each. To my defense, I wanted a bucket bag for the LONGEST time. All the bags I fell in love were out of my budget and this bag had a great deal! It would've been a sin if I didn't get it.
