Beauty & Lifestyle Blog

Hey Dolls,


I know I have written about this particular online store called www.Avalon.com, a couple of times on my previous posts from Malaysia (Johor) that sells the most beautiful sarees I have ever seen anywhere else.  The company is the largest online variety for designer sarees, salwar suits, lengha's and choli lehengas.  Like always, I was browsing my facebook when I came upon their latest saree album, (called 2012 Peacock Bolly) which really hit me.  As you know I'm a sucker for beautiful and elegant sarees lol..
In order to share with all of you, I have taken some of the beautiful pictures from their facebook page to show you.  I hope you like the one's I picked out and if you do want to see more, just visted their website or facebook page :)
ps. I'm not paid to promote their webpage or their sarees :) xx





  

Hey Dolls,


I was browsing and reading all your interesting blogs when I spotted this tag, sorry if I didn't mention who was it from, cos I was reading all the blogs at the same time.  Anyway all the questions are really interesting and I can wait to get this started.  I'm also tagging this question to the following people and to all who reads my blog.


Ps. let me know if you did these questions :)

3. Do you dye it yourself or go to a salon?


I used to go to the salon to get my hair dyed, I was really lazy doing it myself and always love pampering myself  :P but since going back to black coloured hair I now dye at home. 

Hey Dolls,

From the tittle, I'm sure you have guessed that today's blog post is about my room makeover. Well I have been having the same plain and boring bedroom design, style, colour and I'm getting sick of seeing the same thing.  So before I can get this makeover started,  I informed my dad on my ideas and plans that I want to have in my room and he agreed to give me a helping hand :)  My ideal style is semi vintage, semi modern.  To start off my room makeover, my cousin, sis & I went to IKEA  last Sunday to get a few things and some ideas for my room.  I even took some images from Tumblr on how I want the final look to be :)
More or less I'm super excited, to get this makeover going and to see the final look.  So stay tune for the final look soon :)

Hey Dolls,

I know i haven't been doing my weekly nail art posts that i said i would do :( since the weekend starts tomorrow, i thought I'll share with you girls what nail art design I'll have on my nails for the weekend :)
Basically, this design isn't my own, i was inspired by a YouTube video i watched and i was interested to give it a go.  I have to say it's really easy to do and you need is :

♥ A dotting tool

♥ 6 Nail polish colours of your choice

Steps: (See pictures below)

1.Start of by painting your nails with a base coat to protect your natural nails.

2.Then paint the nail with the colour of your choice, I painted my nails purple.

3.Next taking the dotting, create 6 small dots to form a small circle using White nail polish.

4.Once you have done that, create 7 small dots using Yellow nail polish   next to the white dots.

5.Repeat step 4 but this time using Green nail polish and Dark Blue nail polish.

6.Once it's all done, place a small dot using  Red Nail Polish in between the white circles that you have created at the beginning.

7. Paint off with a top coat.


  


Final Look :)



Hey Dolls,


I went shopping with my mum on Sunday afternoon to our local supermarket to get a few products that i was running out of (my daily bath products), and i thought I'll show you what i got.  Apart from my 'daily bath &body products' i also bought four new products that i had to give them a try, after much  recommendations from my relatives and friends who are currently using these products, and there are - Palmolive Aroma Therapy (Sensual), Palmer's Olive Oil Formula Smoothing Shampoo, Nivea Shower Cream (Starfruit & Aloe Vera) & Vaseline (Total Moisture Aloe Fresh). I'm super excited to try them out, and might be doing a review on them just to share my opinions :) so stay tune for that...

Hey Dolls,

For the weekend  i did my long awaited and requested nail tutorial - Peacock Nail Art.  Since i finally bought the required nail colours for it, i thought i should give it a go, and the photos below are all done on my my first try and must say that i did get pretty good compliments on my Facebook page :) 

Product Used


♥ Turquoise nail polish by Nail LACQUER
♥ Gold nail polish by Constance Carroll - Sandcastle
♥ Blue nail polish by Aisai
♥ Dark Blue nail polish by The Face Shop
♥Dotting Tool
♥ Toothpick

Steps:

 Apply a base coat to help protect your natural nails.

Start off by painting your nails a solid turquoise colour.

Then using your dotting tool, take some Gold colour to create some large circles.

Next go in with the Blue polish and create small circles.

The final circles will be smaller Dark Blue ones on top of the Blue circles.

And the last step is to take a toothpick with the turquoise nail polish and create a small line at the bottom of the dark blue circles.

Finally add a top coat to protect your design & that's it :)

Hey Dolls,

Here's yet another mini project that's really cool and fun to do and i really wanted to share and teach you girls on how to achieve your very own Bow Rings at a lesser cost.  Plus it's also  perfect gifts to friends and love ones.  So basically, what you'll need is four things :

-Ribbon (1/4" or 1/2")
-Needle & Thread
-Hot Glue
- Rings (Found in craft stores)

Steps:
1.  Taking any preferred colour ribbon, cut two & half inches of the ribbon.

2. Then bring the ends together,as your doing that do fold it so it kinda outlines the shape.

3. Next taking your needle and thread, go through in a in-out sequence for about 3 times. (see picture below)


4. Then you're gonna wrap the string around the ribbon a few times so this helps secure
the shape of the bow. Once done, keep that aside.(See pictures below)


5. Cut out another small piece of ribbon and fold it into two, glue the folded side.

6. Taking the bow, wrap the small piece of ribbon and glue it down firmly. 

7. Finally glue the bow to the ring and  allow it to dry ...

Vola and you got you're  very own  Bow Ring  :) Sorry that i forgot to take pictures of step 5 & 6, but by follow the steps mentioned i sure you'll be able to get it right :)

Ps: Do let me know  what you think about this D.I.Y project and if you do give it a try let me know xx
