Bird nest

My next to do on the list : Bird nest ring and necklace.

Various inspiration!








Look what i found online!
These earrings caught the attention of my eyes while browsing etsy site.


Its hand-beaded earrings based on a South African beading technique. Crisp white glass seed beads are woven about shades of turquoise, orange, lemongrass, burgundy, yellow, pink, blue, and purple. An outline of black beads adds the perfect contrast. They call it Lerato meaning love.
I can imagine how time consuming it can be.I've got no patience but this piece above worth every single patience of the creator.


Beautiful thread earrings hand woven.

I admire the creativity that has african tribal movements.

All four can?

Pastel Alert

Baby pink, pale blue, lavender, seafoam green, light yellow, ivory. These are soothing pastel colours all on their own, but not so calming when i have to incorporate them into my wardrobe.


What i love about the colours are that it's pleasant to the eyes.You can wear these colours anytime you like it.


The Chanel collection was perfectly laid back for it’s St. Tropez location. It was full of floaty caftans and linen leisure suits. The ’70s vibe was very strong and the pastel colors were thick.


John Galliano’s show for Dior was full of glamour. It was as he was designing for the woman who goes on vacation and does nothing but go to cocktail parties and galas. The vibe was retro, as well, but reminiscent of the ’60s. Pastels were soft and embellished with beads and sparkle.

Here's the pastel colour chart for your guide.
I think i've fallen in love with pastel colours.Most of my paintings are of pastel colours!

An important key element in bohemian fashion is the colors. Typical boho colors are rich and warm in color. So focus on black, brown, cream white, khaki and olive green as your main fashion color palette.


And build it from there with gold, silver, grays, dark red, deep purple and other vibrant colors. Remember to keep the color combinations simple with no more than 3-4 colors.
Unfortunately, not everyone suit the boho colors stated here. Some of the colors might come out too strong or weak depending on what skintone, hair and eye color you have.

Note: Don't worry, if the boho colors aren't on your personal color palette, you can always do a few adjustments to make it work for you. Always wear your best colors near your face because that's where people will notice first. All other colors can be worn from the waist down

Bohemian Chic


Think flowery flowy long dress,chunky accessories,brown white nude colours.I always have an eye for bohemian clothing.To me,it's the style of African, Indian and Asian prints that are combined with western pieces that allow us to mix and match clothes to create out our own unique look.


Bohemian Chic - Get the Look
-Put away those skin-tight clothes
-Solid colours of skirt. (chocolates,teals or rich burgundies) or even inspired prints!
-Fitted tanks and flip flops
-Jeans with embroidered tops or any floaty tunics

And don't worry about overdoing it as bohemian clothes look great with layered accessories so pile on some long necklaces and chunky bracelets, wrap a funky belt around your waist and step out in boots or beaded sandals.Oh yes,play around with bright colours too!

Glowing skin


Since my secondary days,i have this pale tan-yellow skin.There's no glow at my face and i'm tired of using products which doesn't work at all.I've spent more than my teddy bear savings for these useless products and i finally realise it is time to be traditional.It's not about choosing the right skin-care products anymore but it is about a lifestyle that gets my skin to glow from within.

A Healthy Diet.
A healthy, glowing skin is a product of what we put into our bodies.Eat right,more veggies and fruits.Dark green vegetables and orange fruit are the best because they are high in nutrients and fibre.8 glasses of water per day hydrates your skin.

Regular Exercise.
Regular workouts help the skin by increasing circulation, improving delivery of nutrients to the skin cells and removal of potentially damaging toxins.Regular exercise can reduce acne breakouts, by controlling the production of testosterone-related hormones. They also concur that it keeps wrinkles away by creating the conditions for making collagen. For those who don’t know, collagen production supports the fibres that keep wrinkles away.I should start exercising from tomorrow onwards.

Know Your Skin's Enemies.
Pollution, stress, smoking, overexposure to sun, and dieting, all have disastrous effects on the skin's appearance. To protect your skin from pollution, wear a foundation.You can reduce stress through exercise, meditation and yogaAlso,monitor the time you spend in the sun and avoid dieting and smoking.

Get Proper Rest
Getting 8 hours of sleep per night definitely helps to improve the texture and the luminosity of our skin. During the night, the skin is restored from the harmful effects of daily stress. When we do not get the required sleep, our skin suffers. This is especially noticeable in the fragile skin under the eyes.The under-eye area is almost 50 per cent thinner than the skin on the face. Sleepless nights leave behind fine lines, dark circles or puffy bags.I have them now -insertsadfacehere-Although cosmetic treatments can soften the effects of sleep deprivation, prevention is still the best cure.Eye treatments are limited in their ability because they cannot reverse the stress that lack of sleep causes to the skin.I need to start sleeping at 11pm daily.

So healthy and radiant complexion is possible with the right amount of care and dedication!!!
I've been very very busy with school,work and Hari Raya preparations.

I need a good night sleep.
I need to rest my mind,eyes,legs and skin especially!

Two days back was Priya's 20th Birthday!We went to Jurong Point to do DIY cake for her at The Icing Room.It was fun!Sathish and i had so much fun decorating it.His friend pass his phone and it actually dropped and hit the side top of the cake.Luckily we managed to cover that part by placing an icing girl candy at the top.


The cake is delicious!There are 2 flavours,Vanilla and Chocolate.We tried vanilla flavour and there are few small peaches in the cake.The price is reasonable too!I will definitely go there again.


Happy 20th Birthday Priya.God bless you.Hope you like the surprises and thanks for the pizza.It was all Vinod's idea.
