My
diet has been fairly healthy and I always cut down all the junk food but for 2
months or so I would say I found myself going in to McDonalds way more than I have
all my life and well you might say this is an excuse but every time I have to
meet my “friend” we seem to meet there and well to be honest its never because
im hungry or anything but more so it’s the only comfortable place around town
to catch up with people I mean yes there are plenty of benches and cafes around
but coffee shops are always overpriced and stupidly I rather spend £6 on a meal
than to spend £3 for a coffee. But of course in terms of health wise the meal
is doing more bad to me than the overpriced coffee. So along these months I actually
started eating less and when I say less I mean less. I used to eat like a man
who’s having a feast every single meal but now I take in more fruits and
vegetables but then I noticed that I was actually gaining a lot of weight and actually
gained over 5kg just by eating McDonalds so from now on im going to stop eating
from there as hard as it might be I can’t carry on like this. It’s quite
shocking how easy they make it to consume bad food! I mean a healthy meal could
cost you way more than junk. Im not surprised so many people are overweight and
unhealthy.

CHEAP MAKE-UP BRUSHES
The brushes- now since
they are synthetic its actually harder for power products to stick but for its
prize I would say it works pretty well but I don’t have any decent brushes to
compare them to so obviously you get what you pay for. But it seems to blend
the sleek blush wonderfully and it works well for both natural look as well as
heavy on the blush look too. It’s extremely soft but the bristles aren’t sturdy
at all unlike my stippling brush by Samantha chapman which the bristles are
very sturdy but this is densely packed. The package seems quite sturdy and
looks very classy with gold detail and black handle. I wish the set came with
an eyeliner brush but it didn’t so that’s quite disappointing. Most brushes are
for face and I’m finding it quite useful since all I have is a foundation
brush. The eye shadow brushes are good and they seem to blend well but once
again I find them to be too big but it’s manageable.
Let me tell you a story - Being lonely in a world with million people…
Imagine a young girl who was bright and her future was almost planned out
and with everyone thinking she’ll achieve greatness. She wasn’t from the
richest of family infact her biggest worry was not having a dad not
because she wanted a dad but she hated the feeling of being treated in a
different way all because she didn’t have a dad because to her there was only
one person she needed in life and that was her grandmother , to her she was the
mother who was strict if she didn’t work hard enough but she was also the one
told me that I could achieve greatness and she believed in her and she
understood all her feelings and was the only person who was on the same page as
her. You see growing up her mother was only seen as her sister because she
married too young and was still growing up. For some reason she was always too
naïve and trusted everyone so when the girl was growing up she soon realized it
was her duty to look after her mother because of what her dad did to her in her
eyes all men were creatures that you had to avoid and she saw her mum as a easy
victim and she had to look after her so instead of being a child she had to
grow up too quickly to her falling in love was the worst thing you could do.
She was always pushed to work hard by her grandmother and her mother supported
her and took her to every tuition class but there was always a gap between her
mum and her and it seemed her mother never realized it. When she looks back now
she was given love and affection without having to ask for it but now she
doesn’t have anyone around that she could ask for.
He was from another country and they had to move
away from the one person she loved most in the world and from a small family
she wished so long she wouldn’t have to she had the feelings in her gut this
would be the end of her happiness, but she wanted her mum to be happy since she
married at 19 and divorced by 23 she wanted a man to look after her and she
wanted her to be happy and didn’t want to hold her back since all her
life she was told it the was the girls fault that her father had left since
according to her birth sign she’s not meant to have a father. She grew up
knowing she was the reason for her mums sadness and this was the only chance.
As soon as they arrived to his country there was never a day without drama and
he picked on her for every little thing. She wanted help for her to be the
smart girl that she was used to but in a another environment she had to teach
herself to learn English and no one ever believed in her and the only person
who always did she left behind and as days, weeks moths years passed her
grandmother grew older and she couldn’t burden her with the pain so she
pretended everything was okay and that they were happy but there wasn’t a day
where he picked on her he would say anything and always told her she was
worthless and when she grows up and married someone he would use her for sex
and leave her because she wasn’t worth anything,, she wasn’t used to being
treated like this then her mum became pregnant and they couldn’t get away from
him then came a time where he would be nice to her if she took his side and
stood against mum and so she did she thought if she made him happy then they
won’t end up divorcing her mum and could be happy. Then one night as she laid
between her mum and him he put his penis in her hand and made her hold it and
as her mum left to the toilet he would put his fingers inside her panties and
finger her with his rough fat fingers; you see she has been sexually abused in
the past before by cousin and she never told anyone because at that age she
thought it was her fault he was doing this and she was to blame and she felt
dirty and thought maybe she’s one of those whore that liked these kind of
feelings and didn’t want to tell anyone and be looked at by people as the
victim . in her eyes they were only doing this because she didn’t have a father
figure in her life to stand up for her so she was an easy victim . this guy who
sexually abused her was supposed to be the father that she yearned for but instead
she got him. She never focused on studies and wasted time on things that would
make her happy temporarily so she can forget the pain and ended up getting just
average grades in school and she couldn’t get into the course in college that
she wanted to, ever since she was younger she wanted to be a doctor and so she
wasted two years not doing well in college and ended up not going into
university.
You see as soon as she turned 18 he told her she had
to leave the house , yeah he look her away from everything she had then
abandoned her. For years he been telling her he would physically kick her out.
The last ever conversation she had with him was when he told her he would grab
her by the hair on to the street and beat her with a brick, do you know how
18 year old girls heart would be if someone who was supposed to look after her
said that. So she decided to get help from the college she went to and get help
and moved into a housing projects for homeless youths then she started into
another college hoping to do well and change her life around. But do you know
how hard it is to live by yourself and cook, look after yourself at that age
with no help and on top of all this she had to pretend to her grandma she was
still at home happy and to her mother she had t portray an independent girl who
got out and was now happy do you know how much it breaks your heart? Do you
have any idea at all? Now she started to loose herself and turned into
something she despised and now she wishes her mum would understand when shes quite
with a blank look on her face rather than say she was being moody. She wished
for her mum to understand her the way grandma did but she wasn’t grandma and it
seems like she still hasn’t finished growing up and her daughter is almost
giving up on life. The girl hopes to find something that would make her
happy even if its temporary while she recover her lost life but it seems like
god not on her side and I hope she waits a little bit longer and doesn’t give
up.
What would you want this girl to do now?
Should she just not see her mum and cope on her own ?
Eating with a chopstick
I
don’t know how or why I wanted to start eating with a chopstick, but I think me
being obsessed with Korean movies play a factor in this and I know that it’s
very practical too I mean you can use a chopstick for pretty much anything. So
as my first try on eating with them was quite successful and to be honest I
don’t think you can learn how to use them and it pretty much just being
comfortable while using them. I got mine from amazon and here’s the link. Im
not connected with this seller but it was the cheapest one I found and it came
from china and I received my item within 7 days which was reasonable as it came
from china. I highly recommend the seller. They were very affordable and there
are 5 pairs so the whole family can use it and I would say it’s made out of
plastic but not the same kind as like a bottle but more sturdy. It won’t break
for sure trust me I tested J it’s very easy to handle and its
embroided with gold details and it looks very classy and traditional.
First ever MAC products!!!
Where
I live there isn’t a mac store and the closest one is an hour drive and even
when you get there just like every other mac stores its overcrowded and the
staffs pretty much ignores everyone and pretend they are busy saving the world.
So it was last Tuesday night I ordered two things online just wanting to try
out their products. I purchased the ‘matte lipstick in SO CHAUD’ and fluid line
eye-liner gel in BLACK TRACK.
So let’s
start off with delivery service- I placed an order on Tuesday night and I
received it Friday morning which was very impressive and not only that I was
worried about not being happy with the products and not being able to return
it. But it comes with a free return stamp sort of thing and the envelope bag it
came in was resalable so if you were to return it just stick the return sticker
reseal and you’re sorted.
The product
itself - So
like I mentioned I have never had experience with mac products but I was
actually impressed. But the thing is on the website the colour of the lipstick
seemed like a brownish nude and I wanted a lipstick that I could wear everyday
bases and one that would be close to my natural lip colour. I had even done
research on YouTube and everyone described the colour as a nude but when I
opened it I was surprised to finding it orange. I would say it’s like a deep
orange and has tint of red. When I tried it on it first I wasn’t sure but later
I found that it compliments my yellow undertones very well. So if you have
olive skin tone or yellowish skin tone this would look really great. I heard
from other youtubers that the lipstick was quite drying and I agree it really extenuate
chapped lips so when I use it I put towel under the hot water and then gently
rub it on my lips in a circular motion then apply lip balm and then after
removing the excess I would apply the lipstick. The longevity is good I suppose
since it doesn’t claim to be long lasting you can’t complain but it does come
off when you eat or drink coffee.
As
for the black eyeliner I was quite surprised by its texture since the only gel
eyeliner I have used before this was Maybelline which feels quite thick and
heavy but this feels so soft and very creamy and gives a really good dark
colour and you don’t get the heavy feeling at all. It applies quite
smoothly. Only negative thing is for the
price you are paying I would’ve expected to come with a brush but it didn’t so
you had to buy one.
Cheaper
alternative- Maybelline, but take in mind what I said about the texture and
it also dries off and then becomes hard to apply but the brush it comes with is
very good. But take in mind its £10 so u might as well bite the bullet and get
the mac product.
If you guys
like my makeup reviews then do let me know and tell me what you want me to test
out next.

How to get a "super brain"...
So my most searched question on google is “how can you improve your brain function” and normally I just get the super foods and exercising and all those that I know will probably work but not enough of a excitement for me to do and as for the exercising I keep wanting to start it but never seem to be getting around to it. But today I hit the jackpot and I came a webite called the www.thefeelgoodlifestyle.com which was written by phil. Drolet and I was drawn to the title on becoming superhuman.,… I thought heck yes! As long as it doesn’t involve some crazy stunts. As I continued to read this he starts talking about 16 hour fasting- I don’t want to copy what he talks about so im just going to link his page. But its basically when you don’t eat for 16 hours continually and eat at the end of it then continue the cycle. Thankfully you are allowed to consume liquid and the 16 hours can be also included when you are sleeping although sleeping for 16hours is just ridiculous. Some of my friends who fast quite similarity (for religious reasons) and I noticed how clear their skin gets as well as increased energy level and more productivity but as much as I wanted this in the past I couldn’t say no to food. But like I said in the past blogs I want to continue to improve myself so I’m going to give this a go and guess what im going to write everything I go through here and well and I’m going to follow phil who i forgot to say is very handsome and looks good enough to be a superman; well why don’t we all join in this journey and get a step closer to becoming the best version of ourselves.
So my last meal is going to be at 9pm so 16 hours from that is at 3 so I can eat then ,
I think for me it would work best if I ate a large meal when I finish the 16 hours then another one at night few hours before I go to bed. Its my first time trying something like this so hopefully it will work out.
So main things I’m looking forward to is things like –
- Energy level increasing
- Weight loss
- Increase Productivity
- Mental clarity
So this is my thought on our eating habit till today I always thought the whole 1500 calories a day and 5 short meals a day was the perfect way to be in a healthy lifestyle. But now the more I think about it and more articles and blogs we read we have been brainwashed by this lifestyle that’s actually like a caged animal that need to eat in a much timetabled manner. If you think about it the whole calorie controlled life style is just nonsense I mean people in different countries have different eating habit and eat less than us and yet seem to be healthier than us. I think we are too preoccupied by the things like having 5fruits a day, and to have 1500 calories and brain washed by all these juicing ideas. We are not caged animals that need to eat like a being with no common sense in fact I think we are over eating and eating too regularly.
Love life- so this is an update for you guys so few days ago I wrote about that guy in library and my crazy ass emotions and everything ( if you haven’t read I already read it then come back to this) well I had already mentioned my bad luck with love and well this just seem to be another story to the list. So I gave him two chances to show if does like me or not and well he hasn’t done anything…. So that’s the end of that. Sigh I wish guys came with a instruction manual I never understand them!!
Infidelity does not come from lack of love it comes from lack of RESPECT
Is
it wrong for a woman to cheat when she doesn’t get any attention from her
husband. Marriage is for better or for worse I get that but woman needs
attention, and appreciation from the guys in our life and most importantly we
need to be reassured about our looks and maybe it is vain but if the one you
marry doesn’t realize how great you are and forgets your qualities then is he
worthy of having you. So if another man comes and shows appreciation for all
these things should she turn it down and be loyal but be sad and not be
fulfilled of her desires or should she go for the man who appreciated her and
makes her feel like a woman again. If it’s a duty for a woman to be loyal then
it’s the man’s duty to appreciate her and show her she is loved and appreciated.
I
think my love or is still quite childish I mean I rather spend a day watching
cartoons, animations than to go cinema and when I like someone I never think
about intimate stuff you know I just want someone to hold hands and place cute
little kisses on the cheek and to watch tv and forcing them to eat weird and
wonderful things. I think I’m still quite childish and maybe it’s because I
never had these things (well maybe that’s a lie ok I’ll rephrase it) I never
had it with someone that I actually liked; it’s always just for the sake of it.
Sometimes I just like the feeling of liking someone you know when you just
randomly smiling for no reason and then realize it’s because you’re thinking
about that someone special or when you hear a story or someone’s telling you
something and it reminds you of him or just the excitement your heart feels.
Well sometimes that feeling is good enough. I hope you understand what I mean.
I
wish people were like Facebook relationship status and would walk around with
tags saying with a partner or not then it would be so much easier. I don’t know
if he is single and well by the way he reacted to me it would seem like not but
then again you can never be sure of guys right!!.
What's your fantasy....
I
have a question to ask you what is your fantasy (not that kind) but like how
you would like to meet a guy. Well I’ll
tell you mine first and you tell me yours.
I
want to have the setting as a library and I want to be reading or looking for
books and I want him to see me through the book shelves and between the books
and I want him to slowly come to me and maybe comment about a book and
recommend a book to me that I should which should be about love or a cute title
and I’ll say ok I’ll read it and when I do I want to find a note in there with
a comment or something and I write back on the sheet… and he leave me a title
of the book I should read and with everyone there is a note and after a while I
finally meet him and well the rest should be …… I know I watch too much
romantic movies but come on wouldn’t that just be perfect. I know relationships
love isn’t perfect but it would go lot further if the start was set out more perfect.
So
now tell me what’s your fantasy and if it has already happened…..or are you
still looking
I didn't mean to fall in love,but you made it so easy.
Today my heart fluttered and I could feel my cheeks burning up so fast and I never experienced this before EVER!!! Not even with previous interests. It was such a wonderful feeling it’s like something filling up inside you and it takes your breath away and you lose control of your face expressions and end up grinning like a Cheshire cat and my eyes smiling! These are the feelings I started blogging for so I can remember all of them. Btw I should mention that I’m still grinning I guess I should give you back up story. He works at a library okay and I haven’t used my town library in years since when I started college we had computer facilities there and I used to love reading and would actually read a book every day but now I don’t have time and well life got harder so I lost interest but yeah I used to be in library all the time and this was like 4 years ago and he is the guy that you had to ask to use a computer for and I was so shy I still am but even worse. i would sit on the computer front of his desk.
So today I been meaning to get a new
library card and well I was sort of hoping we would run into each other and
previously I have and this was during exam time so heck did I look bad!! So I
wanted to look nice and put makeup on and everything and when I walked in
everything looked so different and I was kind of lost and not even after the 4th
step I see him and it made me jump and I walked in smiling like an idiot
already then I spent 15 minutes walking around after I had found my book cause
I really didn’t want to talk to him then I used the 10 second rules (
this is when you’re about to do something and your brain thinks of everything
that could ever go wrong but this thought process takes 10 seconds so you just
do it before the 10 seconds)…. So I was like just do it. I was waiting in the
line and I think my brain wasn’t working but he looked at me and goes “oh are
you borrowing a book” I didn’t reply and then this woman called and was like oh
I’ll serve you ( inside my head I was like YES THANK YOU)
I know you must be thinking it’s not like
he proposed to her and asked to go on a date or anything but sometimes it’s the
simple things like what’s the reason for him to remember me after all these
years and especially where I used to sit you know it’s just a nice feeling to
know that you do leave an impression on people and not easily forgotten
especially in these days when your own friends family the people you love
forget about you.
High standard or just plain stupid?
As I sit in the bus I see all these people don’t seem to look happy, I
mean I know it’s a bit of a statement to make. But I feel like most of us just
live just the sake of living. These days I just feel like im drifting along I
mean im not all that happy or all that sad. Being a grown up sucks when
you’re a kid you don’t over think anything and live for the moment. I guess I
haven’t given up hope yet and hopefully I never will because that’s the only
thing that’s keeping me going.
In
all these movies that I watch the girls spend so long with the guy they lose
the sight of who they really are but at the end when they become independent
the guy chases after her. Because what’s more sexy than an independent woman
right? But sometimes it’s just nice to have a guy around because after all we
are all human and what we seek is a bit of affection from the person we love.
It’s
easier not to love since heart breaks hurt so much and you end up destroying
part of yourself but why do we still run after it knowing that we are going to
hurt?, is the pain and heart ache is that just as addictive as the
feeling of being in love. I can safely say I never been in love; is that out of
choice well maybe or I might just be fooling myself by saying I don’t want it.
There have been boys who came after me but with my luck it never worked out. Do
you ever feel like something was just so close to you that you could almost
touch it but in a second it disappears and leaves you thinking what the heck
did just happen? Well that’s my feeling all the time.
Some
might say I have too much of a high standard but I don’t think I do it’s just
hard for me to be 100% interested in someone and trust me when I say I know I’m
not a beauty queen or have it all going (well I’m not that bad looking either )
but I know it’s better to say no to someone than to say yes and play with their
feelings and it’s not like I haven’t been turned down, maybe not directly but
if someone seems interested in you then says we should just be friends well
that’s a way of rejection right. Have you ever been rejected? But more
importantly have you been in love? Right now my love life is non-existent
and as much as I hate to admit it I think it’s probably for the best because I
still need to learn to love myself and if you don’t love yourself then who
will.
