A Hungry, Happy, Hippie

I am utterly and completely a 'maximalist'. I have no concept of minimalism unless we're talking about studying. I am a maximalist in all aspects of life. Shopping, eating, drinking cocktails - everything. I do everything in full. Including going on holiday and packing a carry bag. You gotta make sure you have all the necessities. Because the last thing you want to happen is to take "a nice walk along the beach before going back to the hotel" and be dying of thirst. And also I am so nosey all the time and I love watching/reading 'What's in my Bags'. This bag is the cheapest thing ever from K-mart. I was going on a beach holiday and so the last thing I wanted was to bring an expensive bag, get sand amongst it and then cry. This bag was $15 from K-Mart! And also it's one of those bags where it's never-ending and no matter what I stuff in there, there's still enough room. Because you know, I'm a maximalist. First things fi...

Calling all shopaholics! You have come to the right place. My friends and family like to say that shopping is an addiction. I like to say that it's a lifestyle. I was recently on holiday in Melbourne and made trips to both Mecca and Sephora. And whilst I didn't buy much, I did make a small dent in my bank accounts. Too Faced 'Better than Sex Mascara' As an asian, my eyelashes point forward rather than curl up. And no mascara or eyelash curler can fix that. It's my fatal flaw. But I've heard so much about this mascara that I thought, I might as well take the plunge and buy one to test it out. The wand for this mascara is so irregular as well I can't help looking at it all the time.  Winky Lux Flower Balm Yo this thing actually works. I was like "this is so stupid, its a clear lip balm with a flower inside" and then I used it and I was like well DAMN. So I will eat my words. This is one of those balms that react with the pH in your...

I next to never eat out or pay for takeaway coffee or avocado toast so could someone please explain to me why at the same age Tim Gurner bought a house, I CAN'T AFFORD ONEASDFGHJK?! Australian millionaire Tim Gurner has some advice, "When I was trying to buy my first home, I wasn't buying smashed avocado for $19 and four coffees at $4 each..." He goes on to say that millenials "...want to eat out every day, they want to travel to Europe every year. The people that own homes today worked very, very hard for it, saved every dollar, did everything they could to get up the property investment ladder." I'll be the first to say that it was probably really tough for Tim Gurner to buy his first investment property at nineteen. And anyone who does that is like pretty ballsy and brave. Like kudos to him and I am not trying to take away his achievements! I'm aware that my parents' dream as soon as they started working was to buy a house (a dream th...
