I Love Looking Good

A beauty entry… that didn’t turn out right

Hello peeps!

Hope you’ve had a wonderful long weekend. I wished I was more productive during the entire weekend. Don’t we all. The thing is, I’ve a full-time job that involves a lot of writing, and when I get back home, all I want to do is just slack around. Besides, out of the four days of break, I had to work on two designated days. On top of that, I was down with fever and we had a family gathering in Johor – which I didn’t enjoy much because I was sick. Yeah… tough luck.

Had I stayed in Singapore, I would have the time to blog more even though I was down with fever. Then I wouldn’t constantly feel like I’m neglecting this blog. I like my work and I love this blog. But it’s impossible to write all the time and I realise that when I do force myself to blog without any inspiration, my blog entries tend to be a bit dry. Okay okay, so they are very boring sometimes. I apologise.

I had thought a career in writing will be fun, I’ll be able to write about whatever I want but that is unfortunately not true. And then, I have this blog, it gives me ample opportunities to write about what I want – beauty, fashion, and lifestyle. But when I sit in front of the computer to start on a new blog post, my mind goes blank. All the creative juices have been drained by those nine hours spent sitting in front of two computer screens – yes, two of them – at work.

Right now, I’ve two writing assignments that needs to be completed asap, hundreds of pending blog entries, swatches and reviews. Not forgetting, I am also a wife right now which means half of my time is meant for the husband as well as running around the house doing the laundry, washing the toilet and some ironing. Phew!

Isn’t it a wonder my blog posts are soooo BLAH sometimes. Hahaahaaa…

But you know what makes me happy? Shopping! I love getting up in the morning knowing that I’ve an entire day to spend with my husband. The process of getting ready, putting on makeup and picking out clothes that will be worthy enough to end up on this blog.

At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter if I’ve bought anything or not. Like the time we went to the museum.

Are your lives this crazy too?

Lookbook: One dress, three styles

I honestly can’t resist not writing about fashion right now. I was just sitting down, doing some official work stuff when I noticed that I’ve been wearing the same dress for three different occasions. Talk about recycling your outfits. Hehee..

I didn’t even realise that I’ve been wearing the same dress each time I went out – spot the tie-dye dress from Cotton On.

I’m kinda getting the hang of mixing, matching and layering my outfits. If I keep this up, I will probably spend less on shopping for clothes. Heh. Yeah right!

Lookbook: We’re already nearing mid-Jan 2011!

I can’t believe that we’re already hitting two weeks into January 2011. Oh, how time flies! They go by so damn fast and I almost missed the opportunity to put up a fashion post of my new year outfit.

Yes, my first new year with my dearest husband. We had a lovely dinner at an Italian restaurant in Orchard Central. However, food was mediocre. Nevertheless, it was a lovely night.

And here is a picture with a new feature I discovered using our Canon Powershot S90. It’s called colour accent – everything is black and white except for the colour you want to stand out.
