♡ Asos doing 10% extra off again

So I just wanted to share this awesome fact with you - if you don't already now. I just want to buy everything on that website. But I can't because I'm super poor and I should not spend all my money on clothes because I'd be broke. Forever broke. Aww. Sad me. *I did treat myself to little bits of happiness though...on there* I had to. I could not not buy anything. I HAD to make use of that discount code. Anyways, the discount code is 'salescore', you can see it on the website.

If you did buy something lately from Asos, can you please share with me? I love buying on Asos but sometimes I just restrict myself from getting bags, shoes, or whatever because I fear that the quality would be off. Till now, I had only once got a shirt from there that was awful, it smelt bad of dye probably, and the color bled out even after multiple washes, I still never worn that thing; 10 pounds down the drain but whatever right?

I have been eyeing this Asos hobo bag since they came out, they look really pretty. I wonder if they would look good on me - me with my fat arms. :/ So yeah, I thought I would just save this item in my 'saved items' list and just wait for the sale but I can't buy it now. I don't have a reason to anymore. I have a leather bag. (I wonder how long that leather bag will last.) Yeah, I do not need another handbag right. But I want another bag, you know, for work. I just can't justify this purchase. And by the way, I own only ONE functioning handbag. I'm not the kind of person who would buy a tons of different handbags for the sake of matching colors with my outfit. I just  buy one and use it till you can see the material falling off. Actually if I were a millionaire, I'd probably own tons of handbags, hmm maybe not, I'd just start collecting Chanel and Céline. And Balenciaga. Ohh me and my disillusions.

♡ Something from Tumblr

What you SHOULD say to people dealing with any of these:

Anxiety: This too shall pass, even if that sounds corny and cliche. Your anxiety will subside, you are not dying, you will not die from this, everything is going to be fine. Keep taking deep breaths, try and stay focused.

Depression: You are valid and your emotions are valid. You are a good, strong person, even if you don't feel like you are right now. Things DO get better, and I know you can get through this.

Sexual Orientation: Your body, your life, your bedroom. You choose what you do with it, and I get no say in the matter, because I am not you. I'll respect you no matter what.

Bipolar: The sun also rises. For all your bad days, weeks, or longer -- you also have good ones just beyond the horizon. You know better than anyone what it means to finally hit those "highs" in your life, and I hope that you just keep growing and strengthening yourself through your treatment to extend those happy moments.

Self-harm: This is your body and I'll never pass judgement over you for the things you choose to do with it. However, you should really consider speaking with a counselor about this. Not because you're "bad", but because I just want you to be safe.

Eating disorders: It's okay to eat, you have permission. Eating will not make you fat, ugly, or worthless. Eating will make you strong, healthy, and lively. You deserve to eat, you deserve happiness.

Abuse: What they did was wrong, and you had no consenting part in it. You have no need to feel guilty or shamed, although I understand that may be exactly how you are feeling right now. They're the ones at fault here, and the ball is entirely in your court if you choose to report them for that, which you are rightfully entitled to do.

Suicide: Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. You are valuable and your existence is valuable. There are billions of people on this planet, and even if you think everyone hates you and no one cares, they do and they will. You can find so many friends and loved ones if you just allow yourself the time to look for them. The world turns out to be a beautiful place and you deserve to be alive to see that.

Sexual assault: What they did was vile and disgusting. Yes, you're now left with this horrible, traumatic event to move on from, but your life is not entirely lost. Recovery is possible, and an unfortunately large number of people have to go through that-- but they make it to the other side. So can you, you can do this. You're not dirty, you're not a "slut" or a "whore", you are a human being whose rights were violated. But you are strong, and I know you can move past this in due time.

Multiple Personality Disorder: I'll always love you no matter who you are. I only hope the absolute best for you during your recovery and treatment, and maybe one day I'll be so privileged as to love you as one whole.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder: The pain of suddenly reliving horrific events is almost unimaginable for me. Please try and remember that although it feels like it's real and it's happening right now, that it's not. You are okay, you are fine, and you are safe. You are in the present here and now, and that past can't manifest itself again to come and physically hurt you. Everything is just fine, these feelings will pass and you're going to be okay.

Schizophrenia: I am real and I can promise you that. I care. Try and find something grounding for you, an object that you can cling to to help you distinguish between whether or not you're hallucinating. You are not a freak, you are not a monster. You're a human being with rights and emotions who happens to be ill right now.

I came across this on Tumblr yesterday and I 'liked' it thinking that I could need it someday maybe. And tonight, I felt the need to read the one on anxiety again and I found it helpful. So, I thought, I would share these words with you. The author is illusoryacid.tumblr.com. Thank you. I'm definitely keeping this one on my phone.

Screencaps from the music video

I spent the day on my laptop today browsing, making new blog posts to be published later on here and I heard a super lovely voice. I HAD to glance at the tv that specific moment, and I saw that a really pretty blond with sharp features, it took me a while to realise who she was - Bridgit Mendler. If you watch Disney Channel, you would recognise her from Good Luck Charlie. I was surprised, she's so different. My little cousin could not believe that was the same girl. She's the one watching tv, and all of a sudden this amazing voice emerged - a music video. Beautiful. Bridgit seems so different, I guess that when you're used to watch someone in a series for a reasonable time, you get used to see her in a specific girl next door style. But she has her own style, I loved her makeup too. She's so perfect. I think I have a girl crush AND a voice crush and I love her music style. I still can't believe that she's the one singing these songs. Let me share some of her songs with you. I'm actually listening to "I was a fool" while writing this post, it just started playing thrice already - yeah, I'm a slow writer or rather a slow thinker. Anyways, here are the links of some of her because Youtube won't allow playback on the videos from her Youtube Channel BridgitMendlerVEVO:

I Was A Fool

♡ I love tea

Mauritian Tea

I have not always been a fan of tea. I actually hated tea since childhood. My family usually drank was Chinese tea which I found too strong in taste and smell. After a few years, I learned about the health benefits of tea (just google it), I looked for one that I could drink. After multiple failed purchases, I found one that I really really love because it has a subtle taste and smell - I'm talking about the Chartreuse Thé Vert Classic amincissant et diurétique. I drank almost everyday. But it's a little more pricey that other tea available on the market, so I looked for more and I chose Bois Cheri Thé Vert Au Jasmin, I admit that I had a hard time adjusting to this taste because it is so different and had a stronger taste but over time, I grew to like it . As for the third one, I came across it during cny at the hotel, they were serving it for breakfast and I loved it. It is called the Corson Golden Pekoe. I love it a lot. 

My top 3 picks in order of preference:

1. Chartreuse Thé Vert Classic amincissant et diurétique

2. Corson Golden Pekoe

3. Bois Cheri Thé Vert Au Jasmin

I recommend the first one to any tea newbie because it is very subtle, everybody will like it or atleast will be okay drinking it. 

Oh yeah, I hate spicy tea or flavoured tea or like chamomile or citronella and all stuff like that. Can't get used to these. I bought one tea from Forever Living products which I absolutely hated it, the smell was horrible.

♡ YSL Rouge Volupte in No. 7 Rose Lingerie

There's a little mirror on the top - very practical.

Swatching the No. 7  Rose Lingerie

Don't you freaking love the packaging?

I have been longing for one of these YSL Rouge Volupte Lipsticks forever since I saw so many beautiful pictures of it on Tumblr, Youtube etc. So I did wanted to buy one for myself but I hesitated because of the price, this is definitely the most expensive lipstick I own. Thanks to the lovely bf. Hi honey:) Yes, do I like it? I am in love with the packaging, it feels sturdy, expensive, and is so amazingly beautiful. My pictures don't make it any justice. 

Except for the packaging, I have to say that I was disappointed with the texture and the quality of the lipstick. People are saying that these are a dream to put on, that they love the texture and stuff but I absolutely hate the texture of it. When I apply it on my lipstick, the texture is gritty, it feels really weird. I would compare the texture to a chapstick but softer. Plus, the lipstick doesn't go back down when you swivel the tube! WTF right? I actually felt it was a fake stuff, the quality feels like the fake stuff that you buy on ebay but it's not fake, it's the real thing. Sadly the real thing is just disappointing for me. Do you have the same problem? 

As for colour, the No. 7 is a light mauve-pink colour which I love. It is very pigmented and has a slight sheen to it. But I feel that it is not super consistent in colour, so I always have to dab it in. Whenever I wear this lipstick, I feel so 'precious'. Haha It is such a beautiful colour. I could be slightly biased because it's a high-end lipstick but whatever, it is really pretty. If I wear this one out, I would just dot a little on the upper and lower lips, and blend it in. Then I get perfection. As for long-lastingness, I would compare it to Rimmel or Revlon lipsticks. 

Do I recommend this?

It's hard to answer this. I do love the colour and the packaging but I hate the texture. I absolutely hate the texture. Gritty and super soft texture AND it does not go back down the tube. As much as I want to say "Yes, I recommend it", I can't because at the end of the day, this is a lipstick but it is just not worth money atleast for me. I like it as a luxury item plus it's bf's gift but not as a lipstick. haha
