DIY GIFT IDEA

Christmas is going to be here soon. I must say I feel a bit uneasy announcing this as I am no Christian. But anything that brings people together, the whole street being lit up, delicious food and happy holidays perfectly float my boat. 

Here is a DIY gift idea for any occasion really. It is pretty straight forward to be honest. Things you need: a box (that you could doodle on), gather things the person you are gifting to might like, gouache or acrylic paint, a paint brush, water and fade proof 0.8 fine liner.

As I was gifting this to a friend of mine as her birthday gift, I illustrated things she personally like. It doesn't necessarily have to be what they like. You are an artist. Feel free to bring your own style and energy into your illustration. 

Goodluck! x

Once again, thank you for stopping by. x

Oh My Dearest November

Hello my lovelies, not too long along I celebrated my birthday with a book in my hand and a warm peppermint green tea in the other. I must admit it was the most pleasantly satisfying birthday I've ever had. During the day, I grabbed a lunch with the bestie, swapped our birthday gifts and went for a walk together. As years pass by, I am very much enjoying getting older day by day. Most women tend to get happy when they are told they look younger for their age, I on the other hand prefer people saying I look older/mature for my age. Perhaps somewhere around 30. I can't wait to turn 30! 

November has been such a beautiful month for me. The day after my birthday, November the 7th, 2013, 10:37am, a beautiful baby boy gave me the privilege of being an aunt. We rush to the hospital. I see him. I hold him. Balls of tears fill my eyes. It's amazing how much of an impact a baby or a child can make. I look at him and I just simply love him with all my heart and cannot wait to teach him, advice him, be strict with him when its needed and most importantly, have joyous moments with him. 

I want to end this post with a heartfelt gratitude to all the people I've spent my time with this month. Two people in particular. I have definitely learnt a lot from them. They helped me believe again that yes there are good people in this world. So thank you, and thank you again. 

Oh and we also paid a visit to the Shard. I will leave you with few stunning views.

Much love x
