A productive week

Today's adventure are about all the productive things that I did during the whole week! Just wanted to share some of my achievements with you guys because I think I did pretty well in it hehehhe. I hope it would help you too if you're planning to do anything like mine. 

First thing that I did was reorganising my wardrobe HAHA. #girlsproblem #toomuchstuff  I made something to help with my accessories that have been lying everywhere in my cupboard. 

A ribbon notice board, but in this case, an accessories board.

I got this idea when I saw my cousin's sister's brother-in-law's room (HAHAHA now that's some long extended family line thing), he made a ribbon board just like this except, his one was definitely nicer. I thought this would be a good idea for accessories, especially if you're hanging the board in your wardrobe, normal cork boards are at risk with push-pins. I'm pretty sure we wouldn't want to get prick on push pins when looking for clothes. *yikes!

I really hope you find this picture super useful LOL, because I couldn't get any visual when I was trying to make this ribbon board! You can make this from old photo frames or window panel, which ever that looks good. Be creative! 

Besides that, my sister found something useful at Daiso and decided to give it a try since we need more space for my wardrobe. It's something that helps you to hang more stuff in one line.(technically seen as aligned) There are many tricks to this method but I didn't like how the thing look after that so I was like ew when my sister introduced it to me HAHAHAHA. Now, it's a life-saviour!

So neat and cute right?? It's so different from the other tricks like:

Daiso also have something like the last picture. 

Okay, not to offend anyone that uses this type of method, I'm pretty sure it helps a lot and also save cost but it is just not my preferences. I mean, they don't look that neat plus, it looks horrifying to me T___T I guess some of you would feel that there isn't much differences compare to mine but yeah. I mind ok.

Another hanger that my sister found for skirts are:

This is really cute & neat! You can find all your skirts and you don't have to fold them over hangers which makes your closet look so bulky and congested. I recommend this for all formal skirts owners!! Daiso sells both the brown and this hanger in pair for RM 5, now including GST RM 5.30.

The next thing is like da BOMB. When I saw it in Daiso, it got me so excited I was jumping already hahaha.

It's a NAIL THINNER. You know, when your nail polish starts to thicken and it's like full bottle or so which is a waste because if it's thicken you can't use it. FRET NOT! This magical baby is here to save the day. HEHEHHEHE. Do you love the name of it? I did. It was a miracle because I have been looking everywhere for this.

I added the white wire thing, in case you're wondering why it look ugly or what's that ugly white thing LOL. I want to make sure I wouldn't lost the squeezer so this is the best/effective way to prevent so.

How to apply it:

1. Go ransack through all your nail polish and find those that are old and thicken, bring them out for experiment!

Thick/Used to be thicken, but in this picture I had already add the thinner. (forget to take picture heheh)

2. Add sufficient amount of thinner into your nail polish and mix them thoroughly.

Sometimes, you need to add A LOT of thinner for the nail polish to return to it's original state (when you first bought it). I tried on my OPI based coat and yeap, used a lot of thinner haha.

3. Best serve when ready! hahaha

Kiss goodbye to all your worries about thick nail polish heheheh.

Next up, I decided to give a new look to my sister's jeans since she has 2 of the same kind so here you go:

I ripped it HAHA. Honestly, it's quite hard for black jeans because everything is so black it makes it harder to cut in a straight line. Overall, I made it and got a new look for the jeans. You can learn this DIY from anywhere, just google it or go youtube.

Ripped jeans works well with anything casual, and it also enhanced your look to a more street kind of look. It's worth trying if you like that kind of look. :)

During the week, I also went shopping at several places and got this white knitted sweater from Cotton On at RM30! I love it because I used to have a pink one but made a silly mistake and gave it away. Super regretting it now. T__T

Anyhow, there's 2 way you can wear this knitted sweater:

Off-shoulder, like a beggy pullover. 

OR

with a deep V neck. 

Both give different kind of look, so depends on which on you're going for. I like both it's so hard to decide OMG hahahaha.

Finally, the last & glorious achievement of mine was this top that I made FROM SCRATCH! HAHAHAHAHA. Sorry, but it's my first time really putting my 100% in DIY-ing my own top so it's really overwhelming for me when it came out as a success.

Of course, the first time I made it, there was some error which was really disappointing because it's a little tight and the material from my old t-shirt has lost it's elasticity. I asked my mum about it and we decided to go buy new cloth for my top yay!

My second time making this top. I love the colour HAHAHA. I admit it really consumes a lot of time compare to the DIY videos that we watch - like those are 15 minutes and I took probably 3 - 4 hours making this top. THIS BARE BACK TOP. Imagine if I have to make a full t-shirt or a dress. Maybe 1 whole day wouldn't be enough for me LOL.

Don't let that stop you from trying though, hehe. I am considering on making another one but without the bare back because I doubt I would find an occasion to wear it out LOL.

That's all for my productive week, I'd like to hear yours too. Let me know what you guys think of my accomplishments and feel free to share your story in comments below!

Until next time, xx.

Hallow - Birthday?

Happy Belated Halloween! Sorry I'm like 2 days late for this post haha. 

This year is my first time trying to dress up for Halloween which I had no party to attend but just for fun haha. I watched the movie, the Book Of Life and I love love love love La Muerte! She is so pretty omg and loved by everyone based on that movie so I just wanted to create her look! 

le La Muerte

Pretty right?!?! I mean, even though she's dead but she's filled with colours that she's even more beautiful than the living. But from the movie, I think everyone looks prettier when they are dead like, 

This is Manolo (Alive)

Manolo (Dead) 

LOL! I'm not being a sadist here but they do look pretty good dead right? HAHAHA.

So, I wanted to create La Muerte look based from Michelle Phan's "The Beautiful Death" except that her main material is face paint and everyone knows how expensive face paint is right. #thisissosad because her look is really beautiful. 

To justify my opinions hehehehhehe here's her video!

I went to research for more La Muerte make-up  that I could do with my materials and,...

I saw this lady did a similar La Muerte make-up without face paint!! OMG, my happiest moment in life LOLOL! Okay, maybe she did use face paint for the eyes and all but this is close enough you know. I just have to substitute her face paint with eye-liner (which is very very wasteful) but I manage to pull off the look I wanted!

I tried to colour my waterline with eye-shadow but I guess it wasn't good enough or maybe it faded. Overall, I think it was pretty successful and I'm quite happy with my look (except that the eye-liner was not dark enough) hehehehhe!

In conjunction with Halloween, is my girl's birthday!

We did a surprise party with her boyfriend and it was quite good! There weren't many pictures because we did it in a park and it was really dark so lighting became a problem and yeap, everything is blurrrr. Here are the pictures!

 My headless body card HAHAHAHAHA.

with head HAHAHAHAHAHA. Cute right? Either it's cute or funny HAHAHA. Sorry but I really like this card HAHAHHAA.

Finally,

Happy 18th Birthday Babe! 

Until then. See you guys soon, xx!

Oreo Cheesecake

Have you ever had the urge to try some of those DIY desserts you always see on the Internet especially twitter like OMG they look so delicious and so easy and can I just have them already. Today, that's me and I'm going to make "no bake Oreo cheesecake"!

I got this Oreo cheesecake recipe from http://www.lifeloveandsugar.com/ and the ingredients they use for:

Crust

2 cups Oreo crumbs (from about 20 Oreos)

1/4 cup butter, melted

Filling

24 oz (three 8-oz packages) cream cheese, room temperature

1/2 cup sugar

1 tsp vanilla

8 oz cool whip (or homemade whipped cream)

1 1/2 cups Oreo crumbs (from about 16 Oreos)

7-10 Oreos, chopped, optional

additional Oreo crumbs for the top, optional

For the Oreo crumbs, I came across a shop that sells just the Oreo crumbs itself so it really saves you a lot of effort and time (because you know you have to split the cream with the biscuit then crushed it later which for lazy people like me really kills the mood to make something HAHA). I got the Oreo crumbs from USJ 8 (opposite taipan mosque, beside the police station), Baking Solution.

Do ignore the chocolate chip, it was for my Starbucks Frappucino which I would blog about but it was a major fail that I really can't show you anything LOL.

Just look at this perfectly crushed crumbs of Oreos `tears of joy.

For the crust of the cake, we need:



We need melted butter so I did it myself,

Combine your melted butter with Oreo crumbs and mix them thoroughly.

You will be needing a 9-inch-pan so mine is:

`close enough LOL.

In the process- after that flatten it out at the base to half-side way of the pan (but mine I only did bottom LOL) and chilled it. I did the base first so that I can let it chill while I make the filling of the cake.

After flatten and chilled:



Now the filling, we will be needing:

**Cream Cheese. (I forgot to take picture of it LOL)



1. Mix the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla essences together.

2. Add whip cream and gently stir it. (WARNING: "over whipped" whipped cream can spoil your whipped cream like instead of being fluffy, they can be soggy).

3. Add Oreo crumbs and Oreo bits (chopped Oreos LOL).

4. Pour the filling into the crust and smooth the top.

5!! (favourite part LOL) *Optional. Add Oreo crumbs as the finishing top.

6. Refrigerate it for at least 4 hours or more until firm.

AND..

TA - DAA! 

However, I feel mine is a bit fail because it is not as firm as a normal cheesecake should be but probably because I only had 550g of cream cheese and they needed 650g I think so I just had to make do.

Overall I think its okay (after mourning over my partially failed cake) and I'm quite happy because I have some nice cake to last for a week or more LOL. Feel free to try making yours and let me know how it goes! (hopefully the cake would be firm unlike mine)

I will be updating my next post on my trip to Penang so stay tuned! xx.
