Christmas Tree & Christmas Songs! :)

Hey!I'm excited for Christmas!I'm sure you are too!Today's post is very festive. :)

So,it's the time of the year again where you put up your christmas trees.For me personally,I get really happy and excited to put up the Christmas tree.I think there's really no appropriate time to when you're supposed to put it up.Just put em' up when you feel like puttting them up.

Anyways,I had fun putting mine up and these are some pictures of my tree.

Another really important thing about Christmas is also all the songs that you listen to.These are some of my favourites to listen to. 

First of all,of course the classic Michael Buble,at least I think it's the classic one.Baby Please Come Home-Michael Buble.

Second of all,we have this really fresh and fun song.

Jingle Bell Rock (YouTubers) There's a few versions to this song but I like this the most.It's so good!I can't stop listening to it! :)

And last of all,we have Kelly Claskson.Let me say,I've been force to stop listening to her last year because it's the end of the season and now I'm bring it back! Kelly Clarkson Christmas Album. Silent Night is my favourite from her. 

I hope you guys enjoy my song recommendations.You can listen to them while putting up your Christmas trees! :)

Love,Nikki.

// Clothing Haul //

Hi! So a few days ago I went to a little town called Penang which is 2 hours away from where I live.I went to 2 malls which I've never been before.And let's just say my legs were dying!Anyways,I've picked up a few things that I want to share with you.

  

Black skinny jeans from Forever 21

RM 35.00
These were on sale and it's absolute bargain.

Skater skirt from H&M

The detailing on the skirt.

A floral printed croptop from H&M

They had a sale where the whole outfit with this two pieces was    RM 70.00.

Then,I also went to cotton on and picked this bracelet.Since I wear a black hair tie everyday I thought I'd get this,because it was for a charity that cotton on themselves are raising.So I thought this was really cool and it just feels good when you know you get something and you can also help others.

I didn't actually get this skirt during the trip but I thought I'll just show you as well.I'm going to a wedding dinner so I got this maxi skirt which I'm in love with.It's actually half sheer which you really can't tell on camera but it actually looks like THIS .I'm paring it with the floral croptop.

I hope you enjoyed this post.

And I'll get to you soon.

Love,Nikki.

DIY Phone Case! :)

Hey guys!Today I'm gonna show you a really easy and cute way to make an iPhone cover.Obviously you can make this if you have any other type of phone,iPod etc. This is how it will look.

What you will need :

I went on weheartit.com and searched "macaron stack" then when I found one that I like I went ahead and printed it out.Once it is printed out I cut them following the shape of it.Leaving no background.

After cutting it out,I hold it on top of my phone just covering the apple sign.Then cut of the excess paper.(its really hard to explain I hope I made sense)

Be very careful at this point because you wouldn't wanna scratch your phone.After cutting the excess,pop the clear cover on and you will have a really cute DIY phone cover! :)

You can literally put any picture you want that you like.It doesn't have to be a macaron.

(p.s.I'm in no way bragging)

I hope you like it!

Love,Nikki.

DIY Vans Inspired Shoes!

Hi guys!Good to be back on track!I'm on my holidays for a week! :) I also just came back from a trip to Kuala Selangor.It was a really nice trip.Okay.Now onto the actual blog post!I had an old shoe that was really worn out and I don't wear them anymore.So,I thought why not jazz it up.A DIY shoe repaint!

This was the actual shoe without anything done.As you can tell they are really worn out.


First step:
I went out and bought some paint and also a brush.

I got a tempera paste.I'm not sure if this is meant to be used like that but I guess it works.You can also use acrylic paint if you want.

I then took out the shoe lace and put them in the wash.

Second step:

You need to cover the white rubber bit of the shoe.Basically the sides of it so that you won't get paint on it.I just covered that with some tape.

Third step:

Then you can start to paint.I chose black but you can totally use any colour you'd like.I went and painted one coat and then found that it wasn't fully covered yet,so I painted two coats in total.

It is okay if you still get paint on the rubber part because if you do you can wipe them of with nail polish remover!(quick little tip)

Fourth step:

Once you're satisfied with what you painted then you can pull out the tape.Then I took the clean washed shoe laces and put them on the shoe.And now you're done! :)

I started wearing them a lot after painting them.It is such a fun,easy and useful DIY.I hope you guys find this useful as well!

Love,Nikki.

Little Things change Many Things.

Hi guys!So here are a few ways to organize yourself.I'm by mean not a pro or I wouldn't count myself as "a really organize person".So about 9 months ago I made a little planner.I had a reason that motivate me to be a more organize person.Last year was a mess.When I say mess I mean MESS.Everything seem so hard to be completed as it was all pile up in A LONG BIG LIST of things to do.No matter what.House work,homework,school stuff or just any task seem like a GIANT rock to carry.I then came to conclusion that it was no ones fault but mine.And I need to start organizing myself and I can't let this continue.

I know many people struggle to complete stuff as well.Main reason : Procrastination.I procrastinate a lot and I'm sure most of the teenagers these days do too.I then was inspired by some videos on YouTube about "Back To School".I went on to Microsoft Word and created this. 

I never thought something that simple can help me so much.You can recreate this really easily by putting some pictures or literally anything you like so you can bring it to school everyday.I make sure this is in my school bag everyday.I write my homework,stuff to do/stuff to buy,blog post ideas,organizing stuff like cleaning my study table.I also added something fun.It's quote of the day.When you read there's always some little quote you like and think is useful that's when you write it down.I like to write down with the stuff I need to do to keep me motivated.

I printed a lot to make sure it last me LONG.Like the whole year.I print them separately tho.I didn't want to finish my printer ink.

Feel free to get copy my boxes and then add title you need.JUST MAKE YOUR OWN PLANNER TODAY!It helps out a lot. 

Anyways,I hope this helped you.This happens to be posted around this fall back to school season. :)

With love,Nikki.

Till Paranoia!

Hi guys!I feel like I've never told you guys what kind of music I like.So recently me and a few of my friends started a band.We're pretty much inspired by 5sos aka. 5 seconds of summer,as how they are inspired by incredible bands like Green Day,All Time Low and stuff.I'm the guitarist and also vocalist in the band.We're called Till Paranoia.I'm pretty sure you're in some kind of "fandom" as well.I mean yeah one of the perk of being a teenager is having an idol and just someone we look forward to.For me personally it's a good thing.(to me at least).

I like many kind of music if you ask I like punk rock,pop rock,acoustic and like manyyy more.Anyways,we started a band and we've been trying our hardest to make use of our time "banding".We're happy to say that we've done a few band practices and attempted to film a few videos which I think will be up soon on YouTube.

We're very excited for where we might end up,even if we're still just in our bedroom filming with hardly any view online.We just want to share music and that's the only thing we love.We also started writing originals as well.I not too good at writing tho but my friend is really good.Yeah!This was random,but I don't know I just wanted to tell you guys what I'm working on really.I hope you guys enjoyed reading although this was really random and boring.I will leave my band and my social medias down below in case you want to follow and give some love. :)

Love,Nikki.

Favourite Beauty Product & An Update!

Hello folks!I'm back.Like finally.Haha.Okay I'm going straight in because I feel like the intros on my blog post has all just been me apologizing.And that is not good.But I want to tell you that I'm organizing my life out of the net so it's a bit hard to catch up on here but I never forget to try every single week.I do have some announcement at the end of this post so,read till the end.

Today is about my current favourite beauty product.I do not use that much of beauty product tbh.I only use basic ones like nail polishes,cleanser and some hair product.

1.Nail Polishes

When it comes to nail polishes I loveee using the skin food ones as you can tell I have a collection of them.It is hard to pick one favourite colour as I love all the colours I have.They also provide nail vitamins in them.

2.Eyeshadow Palette 

I don't use an eyeshadow pallette tbh.This is my friend's and I touched the actual eyeshadow and it was really buttery.So it's just an overall great pallette.

If you want to get started on makeup this would be a recommended pallette.Or also you can get the naked basic pallette.The colours that they have can help you get started on the basics.This one is quite pricey though.If you want a cheaper one then don't look for this.

3.Foundation

 I have to be honest I don't use these either.

I've seen many beauty gurus use the pore fessional one.

That was all the products.So this is the little announcement.As you can probably tell I will struggle to upload a post weekly.This is honestly so much harder than I taught it would be and as it sounds.So,I would do one in ones in awhile I promise I have been trying every single week.But I'm too busy.So there will be some changes soon.I will soon set a time to actually upload and make sure I could actually do it.Anyways I hope you enjoyed this.If you did come back for more.And I'll see you soon!Bye! :)
