Soft Spot For Chandeliers

 

 

Cupcake Couple

Out with this fine thing for a date. After several weeks of postponing a baking day and realizing that we didn't have time, we finally pulled ourselves together and went to a bakery instead. It was a cute place and with fun flavors of cake. We got strawberry, chocolate and liquorice and they were so tasty. A little pricey for what they are so I'm hesitant to go again, but it was a good experience.

Part Of The Art

At Statens Museum for Kunst for a special SMK night a few weeks (months?) ago by now. I swear to God that I all the hipsters in town gathers for this event- I've been to it twice and I hadn't seen as many before and I haven't since. It's both alarming and cool.

"I've Got Nothing To Wear"

H&M x High lighter

I might've gotten a slightly unhealthy obsession with luminizers.. But they're just so pretty and serene to look at. This one is a lush mix of gold and pink in a pot of happiness. I was pleasantly surprised when I tried it out at the store and even more so when I saw the price tag. Now, I might be a bit biased as I have an undying love for H&M, but man have they upped their game! I'll not bore you with how the company has improved the overall quality of their products, and jump right into the make up. During the past few years I've tried out their nail polishes, lipsticks, eye shadows, eyeliners, mascara, tools etc. and I have been pleased far more times than disappointed- one just has to know what to look for (I use some of their brushes more than my high end ones. Who would've thought??)

Anyways, not much other to say than it's good in texture and pigmentation (although the pay off is subtle it's noticeable), the packaging is simple and sturdy, and the price is nothing to complain about. I still love my Betty Luminiser from the Balm but because the powder is so finely milled it's not very travel friendly, which is why one is likelier to find H&M's high lighter in my make up purse instead. Thumbs up and an all rounder I should say.

A Lunar New Year Celebration,

.. for the whole of February- I ain't complaining! Last year I got to spend it in Sydney, Australia where there are tonnes of people of Asian heritage to whom it's customary to celebrate. There were also just lot of party-loving people in general who'd love any excuse to throw a ball. It was awesome. Although I was definitely more into the whole Chinese New Year festivitt last year, I like being home and get to enjoy the holiday with my family. And I received ang pao this year to (so worth it).

A Poison Tree, William Blake

I was angry with my friend:

I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe:
I told it not, my wrath did grow.

And I watered it in fears,
Night and morning with my tears;
And I sunned it with smiles,
And with soft deceitful wiles.

And it grew both day and night,
Till it bore an apple bright.
And my foe beheld it shine.
And he knew that it was mine,

And into my garden stole
When the night had veiled the pole;
In the morning glad I see
My foe outstretched beneath the tree.
