Phew! We did it guys, 2016 is over!!!! The year literally went by like a bullet train and we are already in the second week of the new year. How crazy is that?! Well, 2016 was a pretty amazing year for me and I hope it was a good one for you guys too. Dedicating the post for today to all the things that I am thankful for and all the lessons that I have learnt along the way. It is gonna be long one so grab a cuppa and stick with me!

Firstly, Thank YOU for being there for me.

Started my blogging journey this February and it was honestly one of the best decisions I have made. Through blogging, I had the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people across the world and even forge beautiful friendships along the way. I would like to sincerely thank everyone of you for being so nice and supportive of my passion. Your support and love have brought me tons of opportunities to fuel my passion for beauty.

Honestly, you do not know how much all of you have made an impact in my life. Before blogging/Instagram, I had nowhere to showcase my passion and nobody to appreciate it. Your love and support is basically my driving force to keep getting better at what I am doing. Your simple online interaction with me is enough to inspire me to create better content to help everyone else. There are many downsides to social media, but I cannot deny that social media has helped to make me into a better person and I have you to thank for that. Thank you for being a beautiful human being and showering me with so much positivity!

Thank you to all the brands & PR that have placed their
​faith and trust in me. 

I am just a normal girl living in sunny Singapore, trying to pursue her dreams & to make the world a better place. Having just started out, I have no proper credentials (awards etc;) except for my diploma in make up artistry, portfolio & my honest candid opinions. I have always strived to be 100% honest with you guys as I feel that credibility is extremely important especially in the highly commercialized online industry.

Basically, almost everything can be bought with money. Many things that are published online probably had a brief beforehand or have been paid to write a certain way. I have no qualms about that as bloggers do have to eat and getting paid for your job is basic human rights. However, being a fiesty Aries, I will never put down my credibility just for money or sponsorships. I have emphasised this to almost every brand that I have worked with and will continue to do so. I sincerely thank all the brands for respecting my work ethics and placing their faith in my writing.

Thank you, haters. I know you are secretly obsessed with me. *flips hair*

Well, haters gonna hate & potatoes gonna potate ya'll! Putting yourself out on social media definitely exposes you to all kinds of attention, be it positive or not. No matter how nice I am, there are bound to be people that may find issues to hate on. Would count myself lucky as I do not have aggressive haters cuz' I tend to stay away from drama. I guess some people just need an outlet to release their unhappiness. I am glad you chose my platform because I feed off your bad energy to give out even more positive ones. I never take failure for an answer so the more you hate on me and wish that I fail, the more I will rise up and conquer every obstacle. You rise by lifting others and I will continue to do good, be kind and spread love. Lots of love to all you haters, I honestly wish for your burdens to be lifted so that you will feel much lighter and happier. 💖

2017 Resolutions

Let's not lie to ourselves here... resolutions are just something we do on a yearly basis but forget after a couple of months. For 2017, I will try to set monthly goals instead as they are much easier to achieve and to keep track of. If you require frequent reminders, you can try out this method too! Simply scribble your goals the week before a new month and give yourself 4 weeks to achieve it. It is also a good start to train yourself to be more disciplined in life and to work hard for what you wish to achieve.

Here is just a bunch of preplanned monthly goals that I will try to work towards just in case if you need some inspiration ;)

Take better care of my health.

Picture
2016 was an exciting year but it definitely did take a toll on my health. The worst was when I fell severely ill for 2 months straight and had a suspected case of dengue. I did not tell this to anyone as I did not want people to worry but it was a pretty hellish period for me. Instead of staying home to rest, I overworked myself by attending events & meetings on top of my daily work schedule. I felt horrible and that was when I realized, what is success when you do not have the luxury to enjoy it? Strongly urge you guys to take care of your health as it is much more precious than anything else.

Love Myself

Picture
Not in a narcisissitic way, but more of the kind of love whereby you stop harming yourself to please others. I am sure majority of you have seen my #UncoverMyStory post whereby I shared my biggest insecurity of not being pretty enough. If you haven't, you can check it out here. You need to learn to love yourself in order to love others & that is something we all need to work on.

Explore, dream, discover

Literally etched into my DNA., traveling is something that I hold close to my heart as it is often the best way for me to unwind and destress. Travelling solo last year was an eye opening experience and it kinda allowed me have the opportunity to stop hustling & appreciate my surroundings. On top of that, there are still so many places on my list and I hope to strike them off one by one whilst collecting beautiful memories along the way.

It's never too late to start learning.

Been meaning to upgrade myself by learning something new and I am contemplating on picking up a new language. Languages have always fascinated me and I hope to learn either Italian or French for a start! Instead of lazing around the house, why not pick up a new skill and challenge yourself? Life is short, make it count! ;)

Work harder.

Picture
Workaholic alert!!! Being a perfectionist, I am always aiming to produce better content one after another. Even on the verge of exhaustion, I will still continue to push myself as I never believe in limits. Part of working harder includes more frequent blog posts, better visuals and hopefully touching more on my dead YouTube channel. Sigh, I wish I can forgo sleep cuz' an additional 7 hours would definitely help a lot! Oh well, time to kick off lazing around in bed and start typing away!
Picture
So that kinda just sums up my 2016 & goals for 2017! Hopefully the new year will be kind to everyone. If not, always think of the bright side. A shitty day does not mean that your whole life is crappy! You will always wake up to a brand new day with a brand new start! Press on loves & may the coming year be awesome for you all!! Here's to mini us conquering the world, one lippie at a time. 💋
