DIY: Flower crown

Few months back I had made my own lipstick and the next thing I felt like doing was a flower crown. Yes, they were quite the huge trend among teenagers, particularly in the US where it was concerts season and flower crowns were the norm to wear. I don't know where those girls got there flower crowns but I was really hooked to getting one when I watch this youtube video by Forever21 who upload a couple of DIY tutorials. I thought it was pretty easy and I knew which stores to get the materials and thankfully also have a friend who diys for cosplaying. So I manage to borrow some wires and a glue gun from her and it just made things easier for me.

Things needed:
- Glue gun
- Fake flowers (try get detachable ones)
- Felt material (preferably green coloured, though any color can do really)
- Some thin bendable wires
- Scissors

This isn't a tutorial so this is gonna be simple and brief. So I measured my head with one wire and after marking it, continue making it have more structure with more wires. 


Then I cut some piece of felt. Originally I started out with square but it didn't cover enough area when I attempt to pinch them onto the stem of the flower with the wire. It look like it would come off easily as it didn't had a good hold of the flower and the hot glue can pour out the gap easily when I pinched so eventually I cut out rectangular shaped ones instead. After I put on glue on the felt, I would quickly take a flower that was place on the wire or in the gaps between the wires and pinch it with the felt. I continued this and should look like this:


It looks pretty ugly to me seeing it from this angle but when you put it on, no one can really see the green felt which was a relief. And I chose black and white flowers because both colours were really good so might as well have the best of both worlds right?


And voila! Now I don't know where I would wear this as there isn't much concerts going on usually and there are lately but there all taken place in KL. Though I do plan to use it for my second photo shoot with some friends and we'll mostly continue use it for photography related activities. This is all for now but there is gonna be another post soon! Seeya!

Tune Favourites

Double posting yeah! Feeling pretty motivated so straight after my very recent post of my trip to La Holla, here is another post on some of the songs that got me feeling some good vibes for the past 2 months I've been in the US until even now. You all also get an idea on my kind of music which is pretty eclectic as some of those who I violated with my playlist over the radio would know. Along with what I think of the song as well as a bit of info on it, hope you guys check em' out and see if you like them! 1. Blank Space/ Style (Taylor Swift Mashup) by Louisa Wendorff & Devin Dawson This is my current on repeat song that I only discovered just couple days back and this song got 4 million views on youtube.

Nothing but soft classic yet original tunes and perfect harmony that ...

Haul+Review: Beauty Care Edition II

THE FACE SHOP GREEN TEA FACE MASK The cool thing about masks from The Face Shop is that you can find ones that are real cheap, like around RM6 cheap. Of course for one sheet you may think it isn't exactly a steal but in comparison to most brands in drugstores like Watson and Guardian, its far better. There is also something non-sticky and easily absorbed about their formulas that makes this a treat from mother nature herself. This one is meant to soothe irritation and revitalises your skin. I usually stock on this when my face is having its occasional red breakout and it does its job decently. Better if you popped this out from the fridge. My skin feels really nice to the touch and I always feel a sense of satisfaction when an ugly bump shrinks down considerably. MEDIHEAL I.P.I LIGHTMAX MASK This one offers, you guess it, brightening effect with some moisture enhancement. I specifically used it on a very particular busy day where my skin just felt exhausted and du...

Updates + Big Announcement

I thought I start off how dormant this blog has been with a good ol' update post. Cause there's nothing like going back in the blogger grind than just telling y'all what's been up since the last one. It's been a year since that post so ya girl has went through a whole LOT. I am now finally in my first year of degree, I got into the high committee for my DJ Club, I've been more creative with editing photos (check it out on the gram @twistlist ) and moved to a better apartment where I can finally COOK along with dope housemates. Through all the stress and never ending work I got from school, life honestly has been really good to me and I'm just grateful to be where I am. Won't lie though; I had my dips this past year with adulting, getting things together and balancing it all. Self deprecation is a habit I am trying to curb and not do as often since its sort of my coping mechanism to stress. We are not about that this year, not anymore. I'...
