Current Beauty Products Vol. III
Decided to take a break from the blog challenge to fit in a beauty post filled with very affordable products! These are some of the new stuff I’ve acquired and I guess a mini review is due based on my use so far.

Day 7 – Memories: What’s your earliest one?
My earliest memories would have to involve traveling, airports and my dad’s place in Makassar, Indonesia (then called Ujung Pandang). From when I was born up to when I was 3 years old I traveled to and fro Indonesia a lot, which lead me to finally moving there semi-permanently when I was 8. The most vivid memory I had from my early childhood would involve tripping into a huge rock outside our ancestral home that resulted into a very noticeable mark on my right hand, so much that it looks like a semi-keloid/birth mark. It’s one of the scars that will probably stay with me until forever.
Day 6 – Something for your kids to know
I don’t even know where to start with this because the thought of having kids doesn’t really cross my mind often. For the sake of answering this, however, I will have to say, “I’m not a regular mom. I’m a cool mom.” Get it? Thumbs up for Mean Girls reference. In all seriousness, what I’d like for kids to know is that I value my relationship with my parents so much that I hope they would feel the same way with me. I have the utmost respect for my parents but at the same time we’re such good friends that I’m so comfortable with them when it comes to a lot of things. So I hope I get to instill that kind of relationship with my future children.
Day 4 – Your favorite: 5 blogs
I’ve been reading a lot of beauty blogs lately because I am so into makeup, that’s why I’m trying hard not to turn this list into a “Your favorite 5 beauty blogs” you know? Here goes: Softly Sometimes – is my favorite local beauty blogger! It’s not the things Carina buys and the pretty pictures and beautiful looks that come with it (it is, though. haha!) but it’s the way she really goes into a product and blogs about her experience with it. It’s not just your cookie cutter beauty blog review site or a blog full of looks but it’s the way she describes each and every product like it matters. I skip a lot of posts of my makeup blog corner in Feedly but I always take time to read Softly. Minimally Minimal – Andrew Kim is probably one of my favorite design gurus online. His blog Minimally Minimal is literally a breath of fresh air, with minimal design and superb photos with descriptive writing. When I found out about this blog I …
Day 3 – Why do you blog?
This is a good question. My answer would probably vary year to year and I’d have quite a difficult time answering it, but I now have one that it was easy to think about what to say (or write). I blog now because I want to exercise my brain. For me, writing (blogging including) has always been a way to fuel my mind.. for it to keep the writing area of my brains oiled and not let it rot into whatever shallow thing I’m currently obsessed with. As a child of social media I’ve definitely resulted to micro-blogging/micro-updating my life online. Gone are the days when I’d cook up descriptive blog posts, write a lot, have 5 blogs and have the time, the energy and the mental capacity to update them all regularly. This is the reason why I’m doing this blog challenge as well. I felt like writing (not including emails, proposals, and/or presentations that I do for work, because that’s different)—and I think I even said this in a blog post—was starting to …
