Unveiling love for family and friends with 4 Chinese New Year Traditions updated with a modern twist

Chinese New Year, or also commonly referred to as the Lunar New Year is a festival celebrated by Asian communities the world over. As may be expected, it is one steeped in cultural tradition.

To herald a new spring, most of us perform all sorts of activities such as wearing bright colours, eating dishes that represent prosperity and abundance, and staying up late into the night to catch up with family and friends.

But aside from these cultural norms, families may have their own little traditions as well! Let me share some of mine with you 🙂

2020 Life Mantra: Be Conscious

January 2, 2020 Paris B 6 Comments

Are you one to set new year resolutions? I haven’t, for many years. Well, actually I have. I resolve to not make new year resolutions LOL!

But what I’ve done in recent years, is to set a life mantra for the year. A little mantra that I hold on to, and try to stick to for the year. Call it a resolution if you wish, but I have found it to be far more effective than just making a whole list of resolutions that I break at the first opportunity.

For 2020, my life mantra shall be this – Be Conscious.

Auld Lang Syne to another year and reflecting on the end of a decade

December 23, 2019 Paris B 12 Comments

Hello friends,

My year-end missive is a little early this year, I realize. But it comes at a time when many of us are taking time off for ourselves and winding down for the year.

This year, I’m taking that time for myself too.

I’ve noticed that people are saying that this year is the end of a decade (2009-2019) and that the New Year brings us into a new decade. While I don’t subscribe to that theory (I consider 2020 the end of the decade because I’m contrary like that 😛 ) I couldn’t help thinking that I might embrace it this time.

I’ve had a fairly challenging year, and decade, and truth be told, it hasn’t been what I expected it to be. If I were to sum my 2019 up in a word, it would be… hard LOL! 😛

Instead, I’d pick 2 words – Seizing Opportunities. Are you able to sum your year up in a word, or two? 🙂

Easy Eye Makeup Tip: Just 1 Eyeshadow, 1 Eyeliner, 1 Brush and 5 seconds of your time

December 12, 2019 Paris B 3 Comments

I have a confession.

I’ve become lazy at putting on makeup, in particular, eyeshadow. So often, I just go out with some concealer, brows, blush and a lipstick.

Yet, sometimes, a hint of colour or definition around the eyes can make for a better look.

While I have not been the most creative person around when it comes to eyeshadow application, I had been a little more involved before this. But with a new lifestyle, comes a new approach to makeup.

And one day, I stumbled on a new technique of applying eyeshadow that involves just 3 items, and 5 seconds of your time. It doesn’t get better than that! 😀
