SUMMER S E C R E T S
In the midst of a burgeoning disinterest in almost everything, a messed-up sleep schedule, becoming a background kindergarten teacher, 5-inch dark roots that keep screaming a hair colourist's name, zero mojo to finish drafted blog posts, and an entire SOUL that wants to be set free in Ambience Mall (or rather, where the air pressure is low & the fasten seatbelt sign is lit).... scratch that, safe home/safe nearby mall is all that's needed.....
There are little hidden sanity keepers.....
* SECRET to feeling balanced during a stressful time :
Eliminate TMI (too much information). You don't need to read all news,
you don't need to view all Instagram stories/Whatsapp statuses.
Avoid gossip accounts or deactivate some apps altogether.
* SECRET to dealing with nil mall shopping :
AJIO. Shopper's Stop.
SAVE for bigger & bigger things, maybe?
* SECRET to finding something to watch on TV :
365 DNI. You'll maybe regret watching it, but still want a sequel.
Defending Jacob
Behind The Candelabra
The Sinner, Season 1
Big Bang Theory - It is as good as Friends.
Self Made
Love Is Blind (the only reality series I could get through)
DON'T bother with Season 2 of Four More Shots Please & that movie 'The Lodge'. Ugh!
*Added later: The Twelve (binge worthy!)

Innisfree Pomegranate Revitalizing Capsule Sleeping Pack
When I'm buying skincare products online, I'm often disappointed that there aren't many photos of what their textures are like. I want pictures I can feel & touch, you know what I mean?
Which is why, every now & then, I'll quickly post photos of brand new skincare products.
Here is a new product I'm trying out:

ZARA Mario Kart Sneakers
Hello, Everyone! Hope you're all doing good & staying safe.
I don't know if this is a post you would be interested in, but I couldn't help myself, because.....
THEY ARE TOO CUTE!!!
When the lockdown was lifted a bit, and we could take walks outside (the apartment, yes),
I realized that he needed new shoes, coz he's growing fast.
He's obsessed with MARIO & the whole gang, so I'm very happy I found these on
ZARA at the right time.
I adore them so much that I don't want Zii to wear them outside & make them dirty ;p
I'm kidding, he'd already worn them & walked on the mud/grass, and I was cool about it.
He assisted me in this photoshoot, btw :)
Other Mario stuff in these pics:
Mario Cap: H&M
Figurines: Nintendo amiibo
Cars: Hot Wheels
Description:
Mario Kart sneakers with Mario, Luigi and Yoshi printed characters and embroidery. Adjustable lace-up fastening. Front and back pull tabs for slipping on with ease. Cotton Starfit insole and lining.
STARFIT®. Flexible technical polyurethane foam insole, designed to offer greater comfort.

December Makeup Haul
Thought I should pop in here before Christmas just to say, 'Hi, Hello!' *waves with hands tucked inside fleece jumper sleeves*
The fog & freezing temperature here in Gurgaon are giving me a headache.
Either that, or it's my credit card bill this month 🙊
After I did the 'shopping from my own makeup collection', that I blogged about in this post, I just suddenly started craving new makeup, especially palettes & brushes. I headed to Shopper's Stop one evening, hung around the makeup aisles until I could see no more female SA's (meaning: it was after 8 pm, and they'd all left), and I decided that was a sign I should head home too - because they'd be kicking me out soon, not because I'm female 😄
With these....

IKEA India Haul (Decor) ~ My First Time
By popular demand, here's my IKEA Haul, that I did while in Hyderabad.
My first ever visit to an IKEA store. That too, years agter I wrote this post in 2013! So it is a monumental day...haha.
For those who don't know, there's only one IKEA store in India right now.
Firstly, OH MY GOD! It was an overwhelming, one-of-a-kind experience shopping there!
The store was HUGE! So huge, it felt like an industrial factory.
I read it has a "Cafe", and this cafe is like a food court! You could literally live in the store for days! 😁
I loved the furniture & a lot of heavy things, but sadly we could only pack small things in suitcases.
IKEA could be opening their 2nd store in Gurgaon, which is where I'm at. So....I shall wait.
Maybe, then, I'll move into a brand new house, and fill it with Ikea everything, who knows.
In the meantime, here are the little things I managed to pick up in less than 2 hours.......

When I Shopped From My Own Makeup Collection
Have you seen posts & videos that say, "Shopping My Stash"?
What you do is shop from your drawers & see what useful products you can find,
which you have most likely forgotten about.
I was doing a FLASH SALE on my Instagram & also discarding some old stuff,
in hopes to de-clutter & live a more organised life overall.
And here's all the stuff that I found.....
I was thinking about buying brow stencils, and look what I found! LOOK!
Brow stencils set & more from Too Faced Brow Envy Kit
Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette
Maybelline Brow Drama Pomade Crayon
Mistine Natural Eyeshadow Palette
To define & highlight bows:
Deborah Milano Extra Pearl Stick Eyeshadow & Tony Moly Panda's Dream Contour Stick

Favourite Baby Beauty Products 2019
Ziizayne is turning 5 years old in less than 10 days, and I'm quite surprised that I have never done a baby beauty post!
There isn't a lot of baby bath/beauty brands here in India, so I seem to rotate among only a few brands. Also, I'm staying away from skincare products that have Parabens.
This year, these baby bath & beauty products are my favourites.....

Handbag Haul ~ BOW Edition
Hello! :)
I have nothing important to say, except that I completed the entire REIGN tv series. It's about the queen of Scotland & queen Elizabeth..... so much drah-ma, and I was hooked to it!
Now it's over, and I'm feeling as EMPTY as these brand new handbags that reign my world ;p
I've christened only one of them - the black one.

MINISO Haul ~ Everyday Beauty Stuff
Miniso is one store a family can go to, and everyone finds something useful to buy.
This is my 2nd haul from Miniso, and I have not used the hand towels I got with during my 1st haul over a year ago! What I'm drawn to at their store are the little things, like cotton pads & swabs...and little household items.
Travel Kit Adventure Time Princess Bubblegum, Rs.190
Adventure Time Bath Sponge, Rs.190
Hand Sanitizer Gel (potpourri), Rs.100
Toothbrush set, Rs.190
This is one from a 3-piece toothbrush set for Ziizayne. I'm using it for my eyebrows ;p
Spunlace Cotton Square Pads (180 pcs), Rs.190 ~ These are better then the Pink Panther ones, in case you've used them.
Cute Pet Hand Towels, Rs.250 each I think ~ My favourites!
Will use them as face towels too.
100% Cotton Swabs with wooden grip, Rs.150
Lollipop Pink Perfume, Rs.460 ~ I fell for the baby pink bottle.
♥
Have a good week, everyone!
Speak again soon.....
