From the writer - It's July already?!

How fast does time fly?

Very fast, apparently. It seems like only yesterday we've clinked glasses to welcome 2015 but in reality, July is already upon us. After realising how quickly time passes by, I begin to ask myself, "What have I done this year?" Well, a lot of things, but the more prominent ones include quitting my job and starting this site. Frankly, I didn't plan to do either of these two things - they just, happened. And I've learned two things through these life-changing events.

Number one: if you're sincere and passionate in whatever you do, the people around you will notice it. And the ones whose opinions matter, will encourage you to go farther and work harder to get what you want. Two: having a plan for your life is good. But don't over do it because nothing's predictable.

I'm not one of those who start a new year with a list of resolutions so I don't have to tick my checklist. Getting upset on being unable to achieve my yearly "goals" is silly and I'll rather spend the time testing out new beauty products or shopping at the nearest COS store.

Speaking of beauty products, I'm completely obsessed with Chanel No. 5 The Body Cream. This luxurious moisturiser is the creme de la creme of the body balms I've tried. Spread it on your arms and you'll find its whipped cream-like texture simply irresistible. Go ahead, take in a whiff and you'll be intoxicated by its lady-like powdery aroma. It's become my all-time favourite items this month, along with five others which you'll find here.

If you're still working hard to finish your 2015 "goals", good luck - you have five more months left. Till then, cheers!
