About Me | 10 Things My Hands Do + Heart to Heart

Happy Monday~
Let’s chat… ‘tis a new week, a new month, and it’s officially Autumn here in Australia. How’s everyone doing?

This post is slightly on the personal side, which I don’t normally dwell into, as a blog post, you know it. Although I feel, I may want to let this out a little, now, to get it off my chest. I want to acknowledge some things. It is a part of me, and for the longest time I am in constant battle with myself, with my own self. Perhaps you’ll get to know me a little better this way.

Good Afternoon FOTD with “Tanya Burr” Afternoon Tea

Who here does not know Tanya Burr? Well, now you will just have to know her. She is this cute, bubbly, inspirational, elegant lady from Norwich, one of my favourite YouTuber, a makeup artist, and has recently launched her own makeup collection consisting of lipglosses and nail polishes. Girl crush alert!!

The story is… that… unfortunately nail polishes cannot be shipped to Australia so we Aussies would have to do with just experiencing her lip glosses. Now, now, who here ever remember when was the last time I speak or even review or praise a lip gloss? Uhm, when was that… almost… never? Yeah, you could say that. However, this lip gloss has impressed me so so so much that it is worth a mention… while I am still waiting for a few more shades to arrive! Then… I shall do a swatch and full review of the shades I have. What say you? A YES!? YYessshhh, indeed!

OMG! SEPHORA ships to Australia!!

This is the biggest news to hit the Australian Beauty Enthusiasts and Lovers! Been too long have we been dreaming of Sephora and their US prices… compared to our overwhelming Australian prices. But look at it now! I am posting this as soon as I heard of the news!

 

Say… WHHHAAATTT!!!

Love y’all!! That’s why I’m sharing this news!

Hair Care | AVEDA Dry Remedy Range

There is something I continuously steer away from when it comes to hair care, it is the word ‘dry’ and ‘moisturising’. I have been one of those sceptical kind, due to the fact that my hair has its own personality. My hair is flat, volume-less, oil up fast in the roots and I’m just not too sure what shampoo to use all the time. And it has colour running through it.

Come along this reformulated range from Aveda.

I’ve heard of Aveda hair care range but I have so far only walked passed it from the outside of Oscar Oscar hair salon. I have not tried it so I was keen to see how this range perform.

On a quest for super-hydrated hair, Aveda, The Art and Science of Pure Flower and Plant Essences, sought inspiration from the moisture-rich forests of Brazil, where a serious solution for parched, brittle strands exists, called buriti oil.

What it is – is a richly moisturising ingredient harvested from the fruit of the Moriche Palm – aka “Tree of Life” – which flourishes in Brazil’s wettest areas. Buriti oil is powerfully hydrating and the key ingredient in this range.

Any of you has stepped in to Mecca Cosmetica or Mecca Maxima recently? I just did today and found these babies that were lurking from the display stand, calling out my name. I swatched and ooh and aah and walked away thinking about them.

Any of the new collection has caught your attention?

Amidst

Hi

A voice within me says “You’re f***ed”
Yet a part of me keeps going
moving…
Strength.

The words swirl in my head
Like clouds over a hill
I wish I was a wildhorse instead
Running with the wind…

I’ve made many mistakes in the past
How stupid to think about them now
I was lost and found
Lost and found all over again

This year is the turning point
I can feel it
But how…
’How’ is the key word.

It has always been a carousel ride
A never ending ride
I move forward, you pulled me back
Now I battle, with the demons on my back
