Do you know that..... Cica  is the latest K-Beauty ingredient taking over the skincare realm? Calling out to all sensitive skins - REJOICE, because it is the miracle ingredient for you. ✨ About CICA   Cica is actually a nickname for its scientific name: centella asiatica.  ** Fun fact of the day: centalla is a well-known herb commonly eaten in Asia, used for medical purposes in several countries and even tigers in Asia roll around in the plant in order to regenerate their skin! ** Why should we use cica skincare?   Like what does it do? Cica has a huge list of skin benefits, but it's most well-known for its healing, soothing, antibacterial, and inflammatory properties, meaning it is ideal for sensitised skin. And let's be honest, since we all have sensitive skin at times, cica skincare really do suit everyone. Cica skincare is great for conditions such as eczema, scarring, psoriasis and cellulite, and are incredibly moisturising.  We know how stress, pollution, ...

..... better person when I’m moisturised😉  Featuring: 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓶𝓸𝓼𝓽 𝓵𝓾𝔁𝓾𝓻𝓲𝓸𝓾𝓼 body lotion in my vanity Le Labo Fragrances Rose 31 body lotion, True Home Australia signature diffuser gardenia & white flowers; and lavender stitch soaps from Yume Natural Soap! 💛 Le Labo Body Lotion Rose 31 This was a gift, and had become my favourite lotion that I have ever discovered. Its smell is just stunning and the cream leaves my skin feeling silky smooth and fresh for hours. I would best describe this fragrance as woody and musky (very very different to my norm vanity - which is floral).  The nose behind this fragrance is Daphne Bugey.  Top notes are Rose and Cumin; middle notes are Rose, Vetiver and Cedar; base notes are Musk, Guaiac Wood, Agarwood (Oud), Olibanum and Labdanum. At first application, the cumin smell is very strong! Almost a body odour scent but that fades within 30 minutes and leaves a lovely woody drydown. At the beginning, I was a lil disappointed ...

I first came across this perfume (the lil sample size on the right) from one of the past mecca beauty loop boxes🙈immediately fell in love with just one spritz; but because of its hefty price tag, that’s why I haven’t *yet* splurge myself onto the full sized perfume. So when I found out the infamous 𝒹𝑜 𝓈𝑜𝓃 scent comes in a body mist form and available for such a good affordable price point, I was immediately sold to try it myself and oh em gee, it’s gorgeously fresh, light, floral & exquisite; a less mature note compared to the perfume but for such a luxury brand, I highly recommend you to try this mist if you haven’t yet! Though it’s a mist, it lasts for ages and a little goes a lon...

  Authenticity, living life being true to who you truly want to be. Rediscover your authentic self from within. Align yourself to your values and goals and live life authentically, and do not waiver in the face of mediocrity and conformity. May today’s quote (one of my favs) inspire you to be true to who you are. I truly believe that if you’re your authentic self, you have no competition💫 A little personal post today -  I used to own a lil blog where I just write my heart out but for now, I'll spill my thoughts here :) The purpose of our lives is to be happy right? Every time we make a decision, our most important question should be - will it make me happy? Nothing can be greater than our own happiness. It is our life and we need to choose what to do with it. Breathe and keep breathing. Keep trusting the journey you are on. It might not make sense right now. It might feel utterly chaotic and overwhelming. You might feel like sometimes you're living a life that isn't even y...
