Skincare staples I can’t live without
Future Solution LX Total Regenerating Cream
So this is a little cheat, I got this as a sample in one of our goodie bags that we get annually on every company retreat. I don't use it everyday because it is so precious to me and also because I can't afford it when I run out of it. Whenever I'm lazy at night or I'm traveling, I use this, and it is so hydrating and nourishing on the skin.
Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate
This is a product I've been through multiple times. Every time I put this on my skin, my skin lights up and plumps up. I use this every morning and night, it acts as a booster for any serum or moisturiser you put on after. Not to mention, it's anti-aging as well.
White Lucent Luminizing Surge
This isn't the most moisturising emulsion but I love the way this baby brightens my skin. It keeps my skin pigmentation, dark spots and freckles under control. I'm pretty fair, so anything that evens out my uneven skin tone and prevents it from getting worst is a plus for me.
White Lucent Anti Dark Circles Eye Cream
I was never one for eye creme, I just couldn't be bothered but lately, my dark eye circles have been getting more visible by the day, especially during that time of the month and my eyes would look so tired. So I decided to give this baby a try, I put this on every morning and night and I love it! Now I can't stop using it. It feels so good on under my eyes and I actually can see my dark circles lightening up and eye bags getting less baggy by the day.
Multi-Defence UV Protector
I remember I never used sunscreen until one day a friend who had amazing skin told me how important it was to use sunscreen and I was sold ever since. I've went through a couple of different brands but found that this works best for me. It's light weight and it has SPF 50. When it's sunny outside, my face doesn't feel hot - which is a big plus for me!
So there we have it, 5 products from Shiseido that I can't live without. What are your skincare staples? I would love to know and try them out.
I know the feeling, your alarm clock rings, you struggle to even open your eyes and every day you ask yourself, is your job really worth waking up in the morning? You turn the snooze button on but the thought of the alarm ringing again hangs over you.
It's not that you hate the mornings, you just hate waking up in the morning. Well, here are my little tips to make mornings a little more bearable:
1. Pack Your Stuff the Night Before
I always pack my stuff the night before, I didn't realise how important this was until I actually started doing it. It is a terrible feeling to wake up and get ready and rush to pack your stuff to work. Feels like you're rushing against time and that's a horrid way to start the day.

2. A Hot Drink is A Life Saver
I stumble to the kitchen first thing in the morning, I'll pick up my cup and make myself a hot glass of green tea, along with two slices of toast bread with peanut butter spread. I set it down on the balcony table before moving my way to the toilet to brush my teeth and wash my face. I head back to the balcony and take a sip of the warm tea and just watch the sky.
A hot drink is a great way to start the day. Sipping my hot tea as I sit idly on my balcony chair, just daydreaming about what to do for the day, or as cliche as it sounds, how great the weather is. It's my little me time.

3. Breakfast - The Most Important Meal of the Day
I take a bite of my peanut butter toast. As simple breakfast goes, I think peanut butter toast is the simplest and laziest meal you can whip up in the kitchen but I don't care. Breakfasts are really important to me even if it's just toast.
Always have breakfast, they start your day right. If you're not into toast, find something that you like. Besides toasts, I like overnight oats as well.

4. Having a Little Me Time
The best thing to do in the morning is having a little me time. I love streaming Youtube videos, or reading a book in the morning. I stay clear of work emails or anything related to work until I'm at the office because it's me time! I'm already spending at least 5 hours a day at work, I can take 30 minutes for myself.
Hope this is helpful! Tell me how you deal with your mornings.
If you're living in Malaysia like me, summer is all day every day. Not that I'm complaining, I get to wear shorts, maxi dresses, and sandals. We don't have to worry about checking the weather, the only thing we check for is the rain but even then it doesn't bother us that much.
Anyway, here are my essentials to look out for this summer:
Market Shopper Net Bag - simply because they are so pleasing to look at, and it really strums my minimalistic heartstrings. Also, go green!
Basket Bags - When I'm in Bangkok this August, I'm so gonna splurge on these rattan bags because they look so chic and elegant.
White dress - You can never go wrong with a classic white dress for the summer. Everyone talks about owning a little black dress but for me, white is the new black.
Rope Slippers - I mean how good will these pair of slippers look paired up with that little white dress, and your little rattan bag or net bag, soaking up the sun on the beach.
Tell me what your summer essentials are...

Ha! Distracted you with a picture of perfectly good french toast.
So today marks the day where I start writing for 100 days straight. Everyday. I've never been very consistent in my life. I've always gotten easily distracted and am always looking for something new and exciting to do. More importantly, I envy people who made their dreams come true by being consistent and patient with their work.
Point is, I love creating content but I'm never consistent with it. So today, I want to challenge myself to writing for 100 days consistently and if there are any readers out there that want to partake in this little challenge yourself because you have a problem with being consistent as well, go ahead. Take up the 100 days of doing something, consistently everyday.
So here goes, 100 days of writing creative content starts now.
