MONTHLY FAVORITES: June 2013
posted: 1:04 PM | comments: 0

Here comes the seventh month of the year, July. In approximately four more months, I will be sitting for SPM *cringes*. And here I am being lazy and procrastinating every single day giving myself excuses to not start studying. I made a promise to myself to start studying by July but before that, let's get into my June favorites shall we?

BEAUTY



Nail polish from Skin Food

Finally tried a nail polish from Skin Food and I love it! It only takes one coat for great results and it dries up pretty fast unlike Elianto's. It comes in a reasonable price as well (anything below RM10 is reasonable for me) but unfortunately Skin Food does not have a wide range of colors which is sad. 


The one I picked up is in aqua blue. It's so appropriate for any time of the day or anytime of the year- it's just a really pretty color. Applied it on during the holidays and I did get a few compliments on my nails. 

FASHION



Joy division sleeveless top from H&M

When I first saw this tank top at H&M, I was immediately reminded of Jenn Im from Clothes Encounters. I often see her styling this 'Joy Division' t-shirt in her videos and I didn't actually know what it means until I found out it was a super old English rock band loool. I love watching her videos mostly because of her bubbly personality and her voice, man I can listen to it all day (I sound like a creeper but I am not). 


What I love about this top is it's design and it's cutting. It's kind of like a loose top but it fits perfectly and it covers my belly button alright. 


Tank top from Cotton On

I guess I went overboard with sleeveless tops lately as I have too many sleeveless tops in my wardrobe already. Anyway, this top comes in a teal-ish blue color which is a very pretty color- I mean, who does not love the color teal? I could dress it up by pairing it with a pair of white jeans or pleather skirt (I wore this out a thousand times already btw) or dress it down with a pair of shorts. I love versatile pieces like these. 


Also love the detailing on the top (if you can see it). 

FOOD


Green tea swiss roll from RT Pastry

As much as I love cakes, I am also very picky about them. I particularly dislike swiss roll because it contains too much cream. It makes me feel like I am eating cream instead of cakes instead.


But this one is different because it contains less cream in it and it tastes delicious. The tiny red beans squashed in between the rolls goes so well with the taste of green tea and the cream. I could not help myself from eating them, hence it finishes in less than 5 days. This cake is now one of my family's favorites loool.


Cranberry stick from RT Pastry

...yeap another pastry from RT Pastry. It is actually a hard crust baguette but mom always requests it to be cut into smaller pieces, so that it will be easier to consume. The combination of cranberries and nuts makes the baguette taste so so yummy and addictive(!!!). 

YOUTUBER

Cassey Ho from Blogilates! Cassey is a Pilates and fitness instructor who makes videos and blogs about workouts. Miraculously, I got myself into workouts lately mainly focused on the tummy area because I am tired of having a bloated tummy. Yes I admit I am skinny overall but somehow all the fats I've consumed accumulate at one area only- my tummy.

Cassey's videos gave me an idea or two on what workouts should I do and she is indeed a great motivator. She is loud, funny, energetic and she has a really nice body. Do check her out if you're into fitness!

On a side note: I am progressing pretty well but I do welcome more suggestions on tummy / abs workouts. 

SONGS

Just Give Me A Reason by Pink ft. Nate Ruess. I am so obsessed with this song- it is just so good!

Up In The Air by Thirty Seconds To Mars. Usually I am not into rock music but this one has a twist to it. It is indeed a good song.

OTHERS



Handphone cover from Sungei Wang

Finally found a cover for my poor little phone which had been cover-less for months. What to do my handphone model is unknown in the market, thus I always cant find a suitable cover for it T.T. I myself was shocked when I saw this cover hanging on the shelf for an affordable price, so yes I had to reward my handphone with something. It has suffered all the complaints and curses I gave it when it annoys me hahaha I damn mean. The downside of this cover is that it is made out of rubber, so it gets dirty easily. Haiyo what to do have to bear with this 'till I can find another suitable cover. 

In spite of that, I am loving the color of my new cover!

I think that's about it. I have to start studying so.
