End of Ramadhan

      Two more days of puasa and then goodbye Ramadhan 2014. I hope many of you have made the best of this holy month but sad for me, I didn't do much.. But enough about the past, time to think about the future. Raya in 2 days! I'm usually not excited for Raya but I'm excited to just sit and eat all day. Spending my raya in Alor Setar, Kedah this year. It is for sure going to be much more festive than last year's Raya. Last year was our first Raya spent in KL and it was so lonely and boring, it hardly even felt like Raya. So many things I look forward to for Raya. Firstly, duit raya. More money who wouldn't want that right? Let's face it guys we live in a world where money and looks are everything.

      I also cannot wait to see everyone's Raya pictures. Sounds stalker- isn but it really is exciting seeing people post their Raya celebrations and what they're wearing and what they're eating and seeing family portraits. So entertaining seeing everyone all primped up for Raya. Plus any chance of getting a break from school is great. I will accept all the holidays I can get because seriously guys what is better than not having to go to school. Selamat Early Hari Raya! Praying that I will get good pictures this year so I can share them here!

Soap & Glory

It was love at first sight. Soap & Glory caught my attention because of their adorable packaging. Putting aside the fact that Soap & Glory has pretty packaging, I do like their products because of their quality and nice scents. Every time I enter Sephora it is a must for me to check out the Soap & Glory section. They don't have that wide of a range of products here in Malaysia. But then again even when I checked out the Soap & Glory section in Boots, they had very limited products as well. I'm not sure if they have their own stores but I haven't found/ heard of one yet. However they do produce makeup products but those aren't available here in Malaysia.

I don't have that many products from Soap & Glory but I thought I'd tell you a bit about the products that I own/owned.



1. For Daily Youth Face Wash
I am currently using the one on your right, the yellow/ orange one. I used the blue one before and in my opinion there is not much difference between the two. I think there is supposed to be a difference but I can't quite figure out what it is besides that the yellow one is supposed to have a peach scent. I really like this face wash because I like the little mini balls that act as exfoliators (well at least I think that is what it's for). I'm not quite sure how much cleaning they do towards your face but I do recommend this product.



2. Sugar Crush Body Wash
When I first bought this I really liked the smell. I don't quite remember exactly how it smells like but it is kind of citrusy, fresh and sweet. After using this for a long time I kind of got bored of the smell so I decided not to repurchase it. Zoella has it though so yay guys I had the same body wash as her (creep ^^)



3. Hand Food
I don't have much to say, it's hand cream so if you need a good hand cream.. ya you should get it.




4. Clean On Me
I just got this body wash today so I can't really say much. It smells like perfume and has a lovely rosy scent. It also says that it has built- in body lotion, so it will leave your body feeling soft and clean. I have a good feeling about this one!

5. The Greatest Scrub of All
This a facial exfoliator. I'm sorry there's not picture of it I can't seem to find it in their website. I was not very happy by this product to be honest. I don't think it does a very good job at exfoliating  and I tend to have to squeeze out a lot of the product for it to work on my skin even though it recommends you to only apply a pea-sized splodge. 


6. Lid Stuff
 This is the only makeup product I have from Soap & Glory. Most of the time I only use the lightest colour, the first eyeshadow in the palette. They are not that pigmented but I'm fine with how it is. It is a neutral toned palette so I wasn't really expecting it to be that pigmented. I like that it's small and light and easy to carry around in my handbag.

The Fault In Our Stars

Mhm I have finally watched The Fault In Our Stars after what felt like forever! Hehe and yes I did enjoy it. I am not a H U G E fan of the book. I thought it was good, but it wasn't one of my favourites. However I did get pretty excited when they decided to make it into a movie. Another sad love story to watch and dwell on? Who wouldn't want that? (not being sarcastic guys, I actually really really like sad movies)

As expected, the movie made me cry buckets. And to my surprise, my mum cried too! It isn't often to see my mum cry so if my mum can cry watching that movie, you probably will too. I honestly enjoyed the movie more than the book. I cannot wait until Looking for Alaska and Paper Towns comes out as movies. Those two are my favourite John Green books so I am going to be double as excited as I was for TFIOS. Praying that the cast will be great, they have to choose the perfect Alaska and Margo. They just have to.

June Favourites

June is over and I thought I'd share a couple of things I was loving in June!

1. Pointy- Toe Flats
So I got a pair of simple dark blue pointed flats in Cotton On not long ago and I am in love. There is really nothing special about the shoes but they are definitely my new go to shoes! They are also super affordable (RM 50). Cheap and comfortable, what more could I ask for..

2. Dark Lip Colours
I was so in love with dark shades for my lips. I was either putting on this dark shade of purple/ pink lip colour or wearing my red lipstick. I felt so nude wearing lighter colours somehow. 

3. Greek
During the school holidays I used my time wisely by finishing 4 seasons of Greek on Netflix. I was OBSESSED. I'm gonna go ahead and spoil the ending for all of you. In my defence, the series ended a couple of years ago so you should already know the ending. Anyway, Cappie and Cassie ended up together so that was amazing. Finally a series where the two people I like end up together.

4. Tumblr
I stopped Tumblr- ing for a while but I'm back. Started loving Tumblr again this month because I needed something to entertain me during boring days. 

5. Songs
I love songs all the time, but these were my favourites last month ;
- Eskimo Kiss by The Kooks
- Summer by Calvin Harris 
- Latch covered by Kodaline
- Ain't It Fun by Paramore
