South Bank Fun


Hello My lovelies!! 

So I recently spent the day at South Bank Brisbane with one of my amazing partner in Crime &I thought I'd share some of the snap shots for you all! 
It was an amazing day filled with laughter, chilling moments and good food! 
Sometimes in life, you just need to chill and remember why you were being put on earth. 

MotherNature &Music saved me. 
Grass snap shots.  
 Enjoying life as usual. 



 My favorite partner in crime: The only person who understands me and stands by me no matter what. 

 The most beautiful sunset I have ever seen ever since I got to Brisbane. 

 Max Brener good ness! Chocolate Dip; Fresh Strawberries dipped in melted chocolate. 


Hungry yet? :) 

I hope this post was entertaining to read or see in fact. Sometimes I just love to chill and walk around southbank to relax and be able to see more things that are beyond my eyes. 
Even when all doors are closed, eventually you'll find the window out. 

Take every opportunity that is being thrown at you, 
You'll never know what it may bring. 

Hope you all are having an amazing weekend!

LUSH haul.


hello my loves! 
as promised, i would do a lush haul for you guys! It might be a bit short because I am currently feeling very poorly. 


but here it goes!!! 
 I needed a new cleanser for my skin as it was breaking out and I felt like the chemicals in my original cleanser that i have been using wasn't helping it at all. Decided to give myself a break from the chemicals and proceeded to lush! Picked this up and it smells very herbal! but overall it is amazing! cleanses really thoroughly without making my skin feeling tight right after. 

It looks green and mushy!!! Like mushrooms :D


Grease lightning is by far the best pimple treatment ever! It does not dry my pimples up to the max but soothe and calms them down. I have used this for a week and have seen major changes in my skin! it is less irritated and the spots did not leave a scar! absolutely great product! it comes off as a gel like texture, half a pump goes a LONG way! 

Thought I would give the LUSH face mask a go and picked up BB seaweed! This is very nice and soothing on the skin but leaves a very nice feeling afterwards! Small bit goes a long way so this doesn't break the bank! 
I like the scent of it as well, it smells a little like seaweed! which is absolutely amazing! 


Two samples: Left (Enzymion) This moisturizer was actually a sample given to me by the saleslady after I told her that Vanishing cream was a little too thick for my skin during the summer and other seasons but winter and autumn is fine. 
Absolutely amazing product! smells just like vanishing cream and it is super thick but does not feel thick on your skin! it's like mayonnaise 

(Dark Angels) I have not tried this cleanser yet but it is said to banish breakouts so I might give it a go and let you all know! check back in here in a couple of days for updates! (I'll write it in orange color so it'll be easily seen) 

 This is an amazing product if you suffer from dry skin during the winter which i do ! I use this every night before bed and waking up to super smooth skin in the morning! absolutely repurchasing after I am done with this one (this was a gift from a friend in a gift box) 
Olive branch is a very orangey smell and it is a little like a pick me up shower gel which i absolutely love! i have used it once and completely fell in love with it however I told myself not to use it unless I have finished my current shower gel which so happens to be my favorite " Honey I washed the kids" shower gel! Will update here when i have used it. 

Buffy body butter was a gift in a gift box set as well! I don't really like this because it is a little too harsh on my skin I feel like I am scrapping sand on my skin which isn't the best I would believe but I will finish this off but not repurchasing it in the future, i would definitely repurchase aqua mirabilis which is my current cult product from LUSH 

I hope you guys enjoyed this post! 
I am finally on track again, guys!!! So excited! 
Lots of love 
and 
see you during the weekends!! (Post will be updated on sunday)

Update; Brisbane.

hello my lovelies! 
 
As you all know, I recently arrived to Brisbane for my university and that I would update you when I have fully settled down, which I have! Therefore, a blog post all about brisbane is definitely a good topic to talk about today! 
 
I arrived in Brisbane about 2 months ago and that i felt like a little girl lost in this world because I knew absolutely no one and i had no friends here at the start of the week. 
Brisbane now is really beautiful as I have started University and made a ton of friends which I absolutely love all of them because they're amazing! I tried a lot of different activities and i have definitely enjoyed my time being here as for now. 
 
The places I have visited is the City; Queen Street Mall, Fortitute Valley and South Bank! 
A shopping centre filled with a lot of varities to choose from as in clothes, you would definitely love this shopping centre because it is an amazing place for you to enjoy and be able to relax and do most of your shopping aside from different malls. 
 
Fortitute valley is like ChinaTown where you get chinese food, as you know I am of Chinese blood and I like my chinese food, so that's where most of the chinese food that I need is from. 
 
South Bank.
One of the most beautiful place on earth! (well, not literally) 
it is like a park where there is a beach facing the river and a huge ferris wheel which lights up during the night and makes beautiful scenery!
The atmosphere is very nice and calming because it is a place where children like to enjoy and have fun or where barbeque takes place. There is an outdoor auditorium and that people would hold group activities like dancing and singing outdoors which is absolutely amazing. 
 
Obviously, with that said descriptions are not enough for you and I would definitely add in pictures when I am back home (literally). Updating this from university is definitely not easy because I did not want to pull this post any further! 
 
 
I hope you all are enjoying the rest of your night!

Dry Skin?

Hello readers! 

Another post as promised, but firstly I'd love to wish you all celebrating Easter, a very happy Easter Holiday!! 
Eat a lot of chocolate! 

Today's topic is all based on dry skin! 
If you struggle with dry skin, no problem! read on and find out (: 

Step 1: 
- Mix Olive Oil with a bit of Sea Salt. 

Step 2: 
- Mix them together and make a scrub and massage on your skin. 

Step 3
- Wash it right after with luke warm water then splash a dash of cold water to seal your pores. 

The sea salt is going to gently clean our your pores and not harm your skin because of the tiny particles which helps. 

This is a small post however I hope you've enjoyed

Don't forget to check back in every Monday and Friday!! New post every twice a week (:
