Starting 2017 with a smile :)

It's 3rd day of this year and I hope all of you have started your new year with a strong mind and kind heart. Practicing New Years resolution shouldn't be a yearly thing, it should be a daily thing.
✅If you have a goal/dream, pursue it.
✅If you're scared to try something, start now.
✅If you mess up, go back and fix it.
✅If you like someone, have the courage to tell them.
✅If someone/something is giving you bad energy, drop them like flies.
✅If you want to_________, go do it!
✅Don't keep wishing/hoping. MAKE THAT SHIT HAPPEN👊

Stay positive, dedicated, and patient. Hard work and kind heart will eventually pay off.
Anyways, I'm grateful for everyone in my life and wish nothing, but the best for everyone! x

It’s officially 2017.

We made it. whether you knew you were going to make it or if you didn’t think you were going to be able to hang on this long, you made it. 
We survived. We survived. And sure the start of the new year might not mean anything when you’ve got a lot going on, but here’s to hoping that soon, our lives won’t just be about surviving or making it through, here’s to hoping our lives will be about living them to the fullest and that our lives are going to be full of happiness. So here’s to 2017 - here’s to you!

---------------------------------------------------------------

My main goals for 2017 onward is to not be so hard on myself and to STRESS LESS; whether it be about the way I look, work, money, friendships etc. I really want to be more positive about every aspect of my life.
I'm super excited to see what 2017 has to offer and I look forward to being motivated to achieve great things. 🌸💕

My 2016 hasn't been the best year (though it has been way better than 2015).
I made lots of tough decisions from last year which glided me smoothly to this year, had lots of breakthroughs, realised things and learned a lot! So many things happened, and the silver lining is that I'm grateful to have all of it. Like legit. I say, I had lots of fun and I'M STRONGER NOW! #notweak
Definitely looking for more in 2017! Lots to look forward to next year.. which is less than an hour away!
Last but not least, to all of you, my dear readers, what I really want to tell you is... to follow your dreams!
Happy new year in advance!! x

2016.

It’s crazy to look back at who you started off this year with, and who you’re ending it with.

Who would have known right?

As disappointed in myself with how I began this year and who I devoted my time and effort to, I’m just glad that that isn’t the way I’m ending it.

I’m so glad that I’ve made the choices I’ve made and decided to surround myself with the people I have now.

Beyond ready for you, 2017.

Death.

Has it ever occurred to your mind of how it is going to happen? Suppose if it were to happen. I have always wondered where I’d go, or if my spirit will still be alive. I always wonder what would change, and will people miss me? 
I am not afraid of dying because pieces of me dies all the time. I am just afraid of exiting the known and into the unknown.

PS. Here's a little update on my life if you don't follow me on other social media platforms - 

I know I rarely post on here anymore, life does get busy/hectic, which I was so grateful it happened this way, because I get so busy that I don't even have time to think about those who have hurt me. Now they're all gone from the back of my mind. My priorities have changed. I know what I want now. I know what matters to me the most now. And I will not let any insignificant people get in the way of my road to achievement and success.

Few days ago, I lost my grandma (if you have followed me on my other social media platforms). She practically was like my second mum who took care of me when I was little and when parents were working. I had a really close bond with her, and the fact that I couldn't be with her till her last breath, it took a huge toll on me. I couldn't process it all when I received the news. I cried non-stop (out of nowhere) when I thought of her and the fond memories I had with her.

Anyways, while I'm still coping in this hard time I'm in, I've been actively managing my beauty instagram, feel free to follow me on my instagram (LINK) I post everything about beauty, makeup, skincare, etc. 

As of tomorrow, I'll be back to blogging regularly (on every Monday, Wednesday and Friday) on my beauty blog (LINK).

So yea, that's pretty much my life right now. Busy all day everyday! So busy that I haven't caught up with any drama, but it's good in a way because then when I do get the time, I can watch heaps without having to wait for weeks to watch the next!

Don't be shy, come and say "Hi" to me in my beauty world, my page welcomes you to the family :)

Love always x

This one time I was pumping gas at the petrol station, a stranger was also pumping gas at the other pump. I always smile at strangers, so I smiled at him. He told me I had a very special and genuine smile. I told him thankyou. Then he told me to never let anyone take that smile away from me. And I think that was one of the sweetest things a stranger has ever told me. It meant a lot.

“How strange it is. We have these deep terrible lingering fears about ourselves and the people we love. Yet we walk around, talk to people, eat and drink. We manage to function. The feelings are deep and real. Shouldn't they paralyse us? How is it we can survive them, at least for a little while? We drive a car, we teach a class. How is it no one sees how deeply afraid we were, last night, this morning? Is it something we all hide from each other, by mutual consent? Or do we share the same secret without knowing it? Wear the same disguise?” - Don DeLillo

Adult realisation: you will make mistakes, you will act irrationally. You will commit some wrongs that cannot be fully righted. People will dislike you and misunderstand you for all sorts of reasons. None of these make you a bad person. All you can do is try your best to be kind and just grow and learn.

Don’t invalidate people’s struggles because you’ve been through worse. If someone is tired after working for 6 hours and you worked for 8, it doesn’t mean that they’re not allowed to be tired. It doesn’t mean they can’t feel what they’re feeling just because you’ve had it worse.
