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've also am trying to focus my social energy more for quality results rather than quantity and so far I am so glad at this frame of mind. It just feels rewarding when you just start to kinda compartmentalize a bit and really choose how you spend your time. Sure you may not have a say with who you have to work with and interact all the time but if you could, you should try it out. I've also just being trying to continuously glow up mentally, emotionally and physically (kinda on the last one). I'm trying to get back into reading and eating healthy. Sounds really hippy I know but its honestly what I've been into and enjoying. I've been learning to cook more though I tend to really cook a dish a lot after I aced it on the first try since I'm a hopeless creature of habit. I'm still just as into all things beauty, skincare and fashion so those content are still underway don't worry! Writing is also up there in my list of "things to do avidly again" and this poem titled "Ruin" that I wrote above (literally cause I was inspired by the word itself and side note: huǒ = 'fire' in Chinese and pero = 'but' in Spanish in the poem) is my initiation step to that. Writing this up actually propelled me to think more about my own personal prejudices and issues that only very close circles know, hoping one day that I can come in terms with them and stop projecting them. Maybe someday I might even share it on here but for now its really a work in progress and for once, I'm not frustrated about it.


Now for the reveal: Denise (from Durneeze the blog) and I are doing a PODCAST together called "Nuts & Berry"! If you have been following either of us (follow her @durneeze), you know that we opened a Instagram account, @nutnberry and been hinting for awhile on there about this new creative venture as well as serving you some classic blog-esque content in IG style. We are excited to finally announced what exactly we been up to and our first episode will be up on SoundCloud soon this coming September so do follow us to stay on tabs when that happens. We will announce once it is officially uploaded but for now big thank you to those who followed us, engaged and interacted with what we been posting up. We are honestly shook at the amount of love and excitement you all have been giving even before you really knew what exactly 'Nuts and Berry' was. It truly means a ton to both of us. That being said, until next time amigos!

Haul+Review: Beauty Edition III

BIORE UV AQUA RICH SUNSCREEN I always enter the sunscreen section of drugstore with some concerns. Its just tough when you're oily in one area and not really in others while trying to get a sunscreen that accommodates those two in one face. While being such a integral part of skincare, it is also sometimes the least thoroughly thought of product unless you were off on some tropical getaway. You might think that SPF found in your bb cream to be a great add on but it doesn't mean you can depend exclusively to it as your sun protection even if you use it daily. It just won't stand up to a regular sunscreen. However Biore seem to have a range of sunscreens to cater to what you're looking for so I bought this one. I don't have the original packaging but I do remember that it promises a semi matte finish and no lingering white cast. Which I'm happy to report that it isn't causing me breakouts or leaving me looking like a ghost. It also seem to be well aft...

The Bean Factory

At home, I am a study chameleon. I not only rarely use a table and chair, I can sit on floors with books on sofa or beds or just using beds for hours. Basically, you won't find me on a table and chair unless I go out to study. For a change of environment with the hopes of getting more done than by myself, I go out mostly with a friend to find just how many cafes aside from Starbucks and Coffee Bean have a working environment that allows us enjoy a good drink beside our notes and math frustrations. So far my reoccurring haunt as of late is The Bean Factory. Shoutout to Chan Yng for introducing this cool place to me. Decked out in a rustic with a dab of modern minimalism decor, this cool cafe is located on the first floor at a corner on one of the blocks at Lido Plaza. The seating area is basically sort of split in to two where one area is black comfy leather chairs and brown brick walls that for some reason makes you feel at home. The other area are some high rise table and cha...
