What To Expect on Blushingkay

Over the past couple of months, blushingkay’s readership has grown tremendously! So, I thought it would be a great idea to reintroduce myself (again) and share a little about what blushingkay is all about. For starters, my name is Khaira. Hello! Welcome to my humble blog.

When I first started in Blushingkay in 2012, it was a place for me to write about my daily antics, beauty reviews and share my film photography. I want it to be my escape and a place for me to document my "creative" journey. I blogged on and off, and only decided to take blogging more serious in 2014. I am so glad I decided to take blushingkay more seriously because I have met so many amazing people through this blog and have been given so many opportunities. Thank you!

Advice for Long Distance Relationships: Don't Do It!

I am in a long distance relationship and I don't encourage you to be in one.

I won't sugarcoat it and anyone in a long distance relationship will also say that same. IT SUCKS BIG TIME. It's not awesome. It's not fun. It's emotionally draining. It's lonely. I especially don't encourage it for people who are in their teens and early 20s (Let's call them "prime years" for the sake of this post, I know everyone has different ages of "prime years"). I feel like long distance (relationships) are done because the couple has to go through it. It's not something you do because you want to. It's because you have to. It's almost like a trap. Now, why would you want to put yourself in a theoretical trap? When you're in your prime years, you're still learning about yourself. You're not 100% sure of what you want.

Breathe, Take it easy

Hello, Monday! I just got home from a 4D3N holiday with my family at Club Med Cherating. Club Med is an all-inclusive holiday resort. Which means... you only pay one time for EVERYTHING. The minute you step in the hotel lobby, your food, drink and activities is FREE! People at the hotel are so nice and friendly. Everyone was kind with their smiles and laughter. I did nothing except swim, eat, drink and sleep. I am sporting a beautiful brown tan and feeling significantly relaxed.
