If you are not familiar with both of these brands, basically Cotton On is an Australian brand, mainly focusing on fashion items. Under Cotton On Group, they have different brands like Cotton On, Cotton On Kids, Cotton On Body, Rubi, factorie, T-Bar, Typo, and supre. If Cotton On is mainly selling clothes, Typo is selling mostly stationary and small living goods like desk organizer or home decorations.
As you can see, in Singapore we have lots of their outlets. But today, I shopped at their outlet store, whereby they sell their items in cheaper price. Mostly because the they are last season items or the items that have few faulty.
So here are few items that I got from their outlets
Can we just appreciate how cure this donut memo pad is?
This little guy is a pen holder I believe. But if you don't want to put anything behind her back, she will make a lovely room decoration!
Porcelain LED light. How cute is that?
Bunny socks because obviously I will never had enough socks in my closet
The best part about it is that everything, including two more items (which is a gift, so I couldn't show it here) is under S$ 10!
If you wish to shop at their store, they are located at:
370 Alexandra Road
#01-04
Queenstown, Alexandra
I just finished one of my small candles and suddenly I just thought of up-cycling the glass container because I feel it is such a waste to just throw them away.
So I present to you a very easy DIY to upcycle your candle container!
WHAT YOU NEED:
1. Freezed candle container(s) (yes, it is important to freeze them overnight!)
2. Heat-proof container
3. Nail polishes of your choice
4. Knife
5. Nail polish remover
6. Cotton pads
7. Spray paint (I recommend white in color)
HOW TO:
1. First of all you need to clean your candle container. It is way easier to remove the remaining wax if you freeze it beforehand. Using your knife, remove the wax from the container
2. Next, remove the labels from your container. My tips would be: try to remove it on a running water as much as you can with knife. Try your best, and there would be some sticky residue left. Remove it using nail polish remover
Squeaky clean!
3. Dry your candle container. Then spray paint it. I use white color so there would be contrasting color between the base and the marbling
4. When it's dry, pour warm to hot water into a container. After that, put few drops of nail polish of your choice. It would marble by themselves, but if necessary, you can carefully marble them with toothpick
5. After that, dip your candle container into the water and carefully turn it with a rotating motion. It will automatically stick to the container. If you're not happy with your work, you can always remove it with nail polish remover and try again.
Failed piece!
Second try...
6. For me personally, I like a bit of texture from the nail polish therefore I like to put some sort of 'goop' on my marbling. But if you don't, you can just use one drop of nail polish instead. Leave it to dry overnight.
7. And you're done! Super easy and it will surely decorate your room just nicely! :)
I'm sooo into Master Chef season 4!!
is it me or this poster looked so photoshopped / animated? hahaha
I know the season already ended but I'm still watching it via internet AND please don't tell me who's the winner!!!
Whoa.
This is a rare moment. Where I could just sit and type something to this blog.
Yep. I just figure out how important blogging is, personally for me!
Since I do blog about my personal life, this blog is just like a diary for me. It's like a reference for me when I need to look for something that happened from my past.
For example, October '12 was Jazz's departure from this world. I do, post about it. It reminds me of one of the saddest thing that ever happened to me.
I do miss blogging. I miss having that kind of feeling of meeting someone new with comments, sharing thought and everything.
So I decide, I should blog everyday, even for things that's not important :)
Please do enjoy!

I went to Daiso today to buy some stuffs. You see, when you became Lasalle student, your studio become your second home. So I bought drawers, dustbins, and even some box to keep my mini toiletries! I've been spending lots of time at the workshop, where there's lots of dust. I don't want to have breakouts to my skin so I really need to wash my face after I go to the basement!
After that I went to Watsons to buy some hair products! My hair was REALLY DRY and dull, I think because Singapore weather are extremely hot and my hair have been contacting with sun a lot so it damaged my hair.
So I bought this:
L'Oreal Total Repair Hair Mask
Because I do think my hair need that deep conditioning. I'll write the review after I used all the product! Thinking of using it everytime I wash my hair or just weekly. Any suggestion?
I used it just now and I do feel the difference: My hair is smoother and easier to comb!
And also I bought this:
Sunsilk Keratinology Heat Protection Spray
This is a new range from renowned brand Sunsilk. Before I bought this I never use any heat protection spray when I do my hair iron. I guess that's one of the factor that makes my hair dry, so I'm willing to try this!
Just me & my brother at Japanese Kawaii photobooth
I recently SOOOOOO into youtube! It's been a part of my life I guess hahaha. Anyway, these guys are my favorite channels on youtube!
Judy is my favorite youtuber! Itsjudytime is her beauty channel, where she talks about makeup tutorials, first impressions, hauls, etc. While itsjudyslife is her daily vlogs channel. She's making vlogs with her husband, Benji, and I really love their videos! Very interesting to watch and their child, Julianna is sooooo adorable! I watched their vlog like almost every day :-)
Why I love Ingrid is because she's soo adorable! She mostly talks about beauty stuffs like makeup and clothing tips. The way she speaks and describes things is very cute, and her every month favorite videos always succeed to make me drool on those products!
Epic Meal Time is EPIC!! I love their videos because they are simply hilarious. They are epic, the foods they made are epic, and the way they cooked are epic. I just hope they would live for a long time because I don't know if those calories would affect on their health
Maybe I just love everything related to food? But seriously, my tummy is grumbling whenever I visit her channel. Her cookings are UH MAZING!!! And I feel like watching cooking mama via youtube when I watch her videos :D
There are actually lots of people that I liked on youtube, but those 4 channel are my current favorite! Do subscribe and watch their videos! :) Click the purple colored text to visit them!
They also inspire me to make a vlog, should I? :D
I knowwww it's midnight! I don't know why I couldn't go to sleep... maybe because tomorrow's (or right now) is weekend!
This week have been, believe me, exhausting. So I guess I could treat myself with... late sleep? hahaha...
Honestly, I'm dying (like literally) to find ANY shops, online or not in Jakarta that sells Bath & Body Works candles, especially the 3-Wick Candles ones. I've seen many people on YouTube in America talking about this product and that's because BBW are everywhere in states (with cheap prize too). So pleaseeee anyone tell me if you sell one or if you kind enough, will you send me one? :)
How could you resist not trying these smells?
Warm Vanilla Sugar on it's hand sanitizer product is my No. 1 FAVORITE smell, so I guess I'll love this one!
I guess this candle will be my first aid kit!
Maybe I could taste Paris' atmosphere at my very own room when I have this candle
Who doesn't love cupcake?
I'm very curious about this candle! I never really know how bamboo smells like...
AND to add those, I'm screaming for this ultra cute clutch from Sophia Webster
Hold Me Speech Bubble leather clutch
By the way, do you have favorite songs? I'm currently searching for good songs... I'm kinda bored with my current playlist. Please give me suggestions!
I downloaded few songs, and all of them are good! You could download them too, but I can't give you my links because I closed them, but Google always there to help!
- Daylight – Maroon 5
- Let Me Love You (Until You Learn To Love Yourself) – Ne*Yo
- Call You Mine – Jeff Bernat
- I Want To Kiss You – Jung Yeop (yes, this one is a korean song, but you'll love it, I guarantee!)
Shutting down now! Please leave some comments! xoxo ;-)
Happy Lunar New Year for those who celebrates! May the year of Snake brings lots and lots of prosperity and happiness! :-)
Since I have some spare time today, I decided to make a post about some of my favorite things on January, here goes!

This set smells AH-MAY-ZING! I would smell my whole body all day if I use this set! The combination of red plum & freesia is simply alluring! It is pure seduction!
Found this bikini store randomly on instagram and now I'm in love! Simply adorable and affordable! Open their store now! Definitely going to wear this at Bali soon ;-)
TRESemmé shampoo & conditioner
I admit it. I change my previous shampoo because of their ads. AND I LOVE THE RESULT! My hair feel soo soft and bouncy after I used this shampoo! I'm going to repurchase this for a veryyy long time I guess!
Candle-lite scent candle in Creamy Vanilla Swirl
I had 2 jars of this and now it's all gone! :-( I love the smell of this candle and I would burn this candle every night before I go to sleep. It's relaxing to have this smell on your room :-)
Another thing I purchased from instagram store is this ultra fashionable twisted headband. And guess how much money I spent for 2 headbands? Only IDR 50K or $5! Crazyyyy right? Go visit their store now!
Soap & Glory Hand Food cream
Smells nice? Check. Make your hands softer? Check. Compact? Check. Irresistible packaging? Check. What else do you want?
