Introduction and first tutorial

Good morning guys,

Just a little update from my previous post, my introduction video is finally up! Yes, yes.. I had lagged it for days and days now but at least I got it done! I also have my first tutorial up as well, so check it out! It is a very basic look that can be worn everyday and very school appropriate as it seems like you are not wearing any makeup at all! Well, maybe.. hehe.. :D

Youtube..! :O

Hey guys, exciting news!

I will be uploading videos now on YouTube! I hope you are all looking forward to this new journey with me! To be honest, I am quite scared about putting myself out there. I will be getting haters and negative comments which I am not use to, but it will be part of what I need to overcome, to become a stronger person.

My channel will consist of both vlogs and beauty related videos, so I hope you are looking forward to those! I have one tutorial that I am done editing, but I will upload that after I get my introduction video done.


See you all soon!

Green juice

Good evening, everyone!

Have you ever heard of green juice? If not, it is basically a salad in a cup. Of course there will be some fruits in the mix to add a some sweetness to the overall flavour.

I first heard about this juice on itsJudyLife, a beauty guru and vlogger on YouTube and been dying to try it out! But the thing was, most online juicing recipes has an ingredient called 'kale'. Here in Australia, kale is not really popular and can be pretty hard to find. Luckily, I found out there was a farmers market close by and what do they have..? Kale!! 

There are two main types of kale used in juicing; Curly Kale and Dinosaur Kale. To me personally, I prefer the Dinosaur kale because it is a slight sweeter in taste. As for the recipe, I based it off Dr. Oz Green Juice with Ginger but switch it around to my liking. 

My first attempt was a failure, the mixture was too thick and it barely fit into my blender! Second batch, I halved the recipe and added a little bit more water and it was almost perfect! But I could still taste the strong flavours of the celery and ginger. Third times the charm right? For my third attempt, I got rid of the ginger, reduce the amount of celery and strained the mixture and wallah! A successful green juice!

Overall, green juice in my experience is through trial and error. Find a recipe that you would like to try and change things around to suit your taste buds. If you are going to be using a blender to juice like I have, you may want to strain the mixture to get rid of the lumps. But if you want all the benefits you can get from green juice, you can skip this step. 

What is your favourite green juice recipe? Comment below so I can try some out!

Food adventure #2

Good morning everyone!

On the 7th of August, my boyfriend and I celebrated our 27 months at Holy Basil. I had been cravingggggggg for spicy curry the past week or two and was dying to get my taste buds on them spiciness! Because my hubby has never been there before, it was a win-win situation; I get my curry and he gets a first time experience at a restaurant he never been to before!

For dinner we had:

    Satay Kai (satay chicken skewers)

    Yum Pla Mut (Calamari Salad): Medium spicy 

    Gang Panang (pork panang curry): Medium spicy 

I am soo glad my boyfriend ordered it in spicy medium instead of hot (which was what I was about to choose) because damnnnnnn, it was spicy as heck!! Apart from the spiciness, it was sooooo delicious. That was probably the reason why we were able to finish off both dishes! As for desserts, we decided to go down the street to get What The Fudge (WTF).

There we ordered: 

A fondue for two plus two extra waffles

Pistachio (top) and Japanese Green Tea (bottom) 

I think I found my new favourite ice cream! First it was Macadamia, now it's Pistachio- Deeeelisshhhhhhhhhh! Sadly, we were unable to finish our dessert because our stomach was too full from our previous meal. But we will be back, just you wait!

So, what is your favourite ice cream flavour? Choc mint? Raspberry swirl? Let me know below so I can try some of your favourites!

Food adventure #1

Good morning beautifuls,

On Tuesday after my practical exam, my friends and I decided to head out to the city for dinner. The restaurant that we planned to eat at was closed so we went on a mission to find a place that had some vegetarian meals on the menu. We ended up at a Japanese restaurant called Fuku Sake and Wine Bar. This place has excellent service and our food arrived quickly which was a bonus. Plus, the exterior was so lovely, you have to check this place out! 

Here are some photos from our Tuesday night:

King Fish and Salmon Carpaccio*

Vegetable Tempura

Udon noodle soup

Chicken karaage salad

Vegetarian Okonomiyaki (It has fish flakes on them, lol)

Samurai Roll*

Yakidori Wagyu Beef Skewer*

Not to sure on what the names on these drinks are.. (Green one was mine!)*

Overall, out of all the food that we had ordered, I believe the Samurai Roll was my favourite. The prices here are pretty decent for those who wants to eat somewhere fancy and is still within their uni budget. A perfect place for a date if I say so myself, hehe.

Have you been to a Japanese restaurant before? What was your experience like?
