The moment.

(inspired by Sam, Meg, Jes and every lovely blogger who contributed to/spread this creative concept)

Making: sense of why things happen the way they do sometimes, and accepting them.
Cooking: absolutely nothing - I've been out for meals so much it's getting ridiculous.
Drinking: all kinds of concoctions - everything from exotic tea and fruit smoothies, to Oreo milkshakes and coconut water.
Reading: How to Fall in Love by Cecelia Ahern - in fact, I just finished it and it reminded me why I stay loyal to her.

Wanting: to do great things with great people.
Looking: for peace - mainly in unconventional but charming destinations/means.
Playing: hard, to a rather desirable degree.
Wasting: precious study time, for my approaching examinations after the holidays - *gulp*.
Sewing: and patching up affairs, one step at a time.
Wishing: I could go home earlier to see all the people I love being with.
Enjoying: the privilege of roaming around freely.
Waiting: on others - I've now deemed pursuits wasteful, unless necessary.
Liking: this post concept so far - what a wonderfully innovative, refreshing idea.
Wondering: what it must be like for my friend, on the other side of the world in Paris.
Loving: the tasteful, ethereal music (videos) produced by Milano Sun.*
Hoping: my state of calmness isn't a result of previous melancholic resignation.

Marveling: at how the significance of one single action can be greater than ever imagined.
Needing: an excessive amount of flu medication, Strepsils, rest and the bare necessities - especially sufficient fresh air.
Smelling: like strawberries, thanks to The Body Shop.
Wearing: jeans for a change as well as lots of bohemian clothing that are, not surprisingly, from my recent Bali trip.
Following: the flow of things, and possibly even - dare I say it - the hype.
Noticing: every last detail about each person I come across - their demeanor, facial expressions and mannerisms.
Knowing: that I really am lucky to have such a caring and faithful readership base.
Thinking: non-stop - really no surprise there.
Bookmarking: funny feel-good videos and helpful webpages regarding blog customization tips.
Opening: my eyes to an enormous world filled with endless possibilities.
Giggling: at every single thing - you know those moods, they hit me often.
Feeling: better despite my sudden flu; positively charged.

Seasons Love Tag.

Strawberry popsicles in winter. 

  Hello lovelies, today I'll be doing the Seasons Love Tag! Credits to Stephanie, I found her video on Youtube and decided to showcase my take of it on the blogosphere.

1. Where do you live?

I live in Australia, the Western state to be specific.

2. What season are you in?

At the moment, we're currently in winter. This is the first month of winter, so how it works is that winter is from June to August, spring is from September to November, summer is from December to February, and autumn is from March to May.

3. What is the best thing about it? (season you're in)

I don't fancy winter as much, but I do enjoy layering clothes to create edgier looks. The challenge when putting together a look is fun little thing to do.

4. What is your favourite season?

Hard to say, I love transitional seasons. Spring and autumn are my favourites, because they're both versatile in terms of clothing choices.

5. A fashion item for the season.

SWEATERS. Amen.

6. A beauty item for the season.

Nivea's Pearly Shine lip balm is a true wonder. It leaves a sweet, lustrous tint and has adequate moisture.

7. A fragrance item for the season.

Considering that The Body Shop's Japanese Cherry Blossom Body Mist is the only fragrance I use, I'll have to go with that. Despite cherry blossoms being associated with spring, I think this fragrance works well for all seasons with its delightful, subtle scent.

8. Favourite (season you're in) drink/food?

Definitely hot chocolate/beef stroganoff.

9. TAG somenone?

I hereby tag..

Tara, who has just started her blog. She's a Youtuber as well, check her out!

Also, my loyal blogger friends such as Giulia, Seryna, Erin and Melli. Anyone is welcome to do the tag, of course. x
