I tag Aileen, Jiwon, Sandra, Alice, Lyn, and Danika! Have a lovely Sunday. xo, s.

It'd be cool if you were actually twins

Hi lovelies! I thought that I should post a brief little something before I get to work for the weekend. I'd like to dedicate this post to two lovely girls who I have grown close to over the last couple of months. My closest friends have all gotten a post here or there on my blog so I thought it was time that they received one as well. Aileen and Jiwon, this one's for you!

Dear Aileen,

(aka Ajia). If I had to describe you in three words, they would be open, patient, and kissable. I will never, ever forget how easy it is to get along with you because our friendship has always been so effortless. Our conversations flow like we've known each other since we were kids and you have no idea how rarely that happens. As much as I'd hate to admit it, I can always rely on you to put a smile on my face because you're the best type of person to be around. My writing skills let me down where I can't explain how grateful I am to have met you but just know that you really do make my life that much more enjoyable. To end, I'd like to say that you really need to put some sort of fence around that stupidly dangerous staircase in your house and I look very forward to spending time with you in Melbourne!

Dear Jiwon,

You are the absolute epitome of kindness. If I could swap lives with somebody then it'd definitely be you. You live your life doing what you believe in whilst valuing everything that you are given. You love each and every one of your friends like they're your family and offer so much as a person that it's actually insane! I hope you realise that you're an absolute gem and that you only deserve the best. I'm incredibly glad I met you because you remind me that there will always be some type of genuine goodness in my life. To end, I'd like to say that you working full time at a dessert place reaaaaaaaaally sucks for me because I end up eating there every time I visit you (which is guaranteed to be at least thrice a week).

Have a great Friday and I hope you all enjoy your weekend! xo, s.

Photo & caption update XVII

I'm exhausted so please excuse how simple this post is

• Woke up at 8 
• Met Sandra and Jason in the city to go to the Beginning Boutique sale and model search 
• Didn't buy anything
• Oogled over the many legs that went for miles 
• Caught the bus to the sciencentre and looked at dinosaurs
• Caught the bus to the valley and had lunch and dessert at Wagaya 
• Went back to my place after running out of energy 
• Adrii joined us
• Went back out to eat dinner at Peony and have dessert at Passion Tree 

I hope everybody is feeling much more energetic than I am. Have a lovely weekend! xo, s.

Liese/Prettia Bubble hair dye: chiffon beige

Hi lovelies. I'm currently in the middle of a 2.5 hour break at uni so I thought that I should post something to make this somewhat productive. Today I'll be doing a review of Chiffon Beige from my all time favourite hair dye brand, Liese! Adrii let me use her as a test subject and in case anybody was wondering, her hair has only been dyed once previously using Milk Tea Brown from Liese.

verdict

Colour - ★★★☆☆

The colouring did change her hair but I don't think it was very similar to the colour chart provided on the box. Her hair is much more orange than it was expected to be. 

Brightening - ★★★★☆

 It's pretty obvious that there was a really strong difference in the colour. Adrii's hair was much more vibrant and I found it made her hair look much shinier. The dye completely lifted her regrowth as well!

Ease of use - ★★★★★

 As per usual, I absolutely love how easy the foam application is. It provides an even application and makes it so easy for your hair to be dyed.

Sparkle and shine

Hi! I went to the Buddha Birth Day Festival with a bunch of friends today so here's a bunch of photos to fill up some space that desperately needs to be updated. Finals for uni are in about a month but to be honest, I highly doubt that the time between my posts will grow any larger than they currently are (a billion apologies).

DIPPIN' DOTS BABY WOOHOO!

Honey bread from Passion Tree

Passion Binsoo with no red beans mhmm

Alice and her plate of shame

Hope all of you guys have a fantastic week! xo, s. :-)
