Beaut-To-Be

After a whole week or so of silence and now I'm back 👻

Ok last last Saturday, I was given an opportunity to attend my first ever beauty talk) event, Beaut-To-Be, organised by VFplusC. It's their pilot event participated by reknowned brands like The Min list, Blushboss, Blush with Me and Vilry.co. I am not an avid fan of cosmetics or make up but this event was very insightful. The sharing sessions on how each label was started.. Truly inspiring! The sacrifuce, ups and downs that the founders went through to get to where they are now. Wow!!!

Sharing Session by all the founders.

Well, what is an event without refreshments especially an event as classy as this. Tasty scones, tuna thingy in tiny cups as well as some other tasty bakes are served. All done up by All Things Delicious. Never tried their major bakes but i fell in love with their cranberry scones. Yumz! 😋

There's small shopping set ups by 3 out of 4 brands involved (since Blush with Me is a make up professional co.).  Lots of discounts given and the amazing thing is most of the make ups are either halal or vegan. Good stuffs indeed!

Last session was a make up master class. Ok, I am absolutely a noob when it comes to make up. Foundation n stuffs are not my thing (only use powder and lippie). However, this session is so interesting, the creation of different looks. Like painting (I can't paint well either, haha). She explained how to soften lip colors, the correct applications of different make up thingies, how to choose the best shade of blusher (this is a must if you don't want to end up looking like you've just been slapped 😝),etc. Oh ya.. not forgetting, I made new acquaintances. Super friendly bunch of mummies and some doing business too. Amazing way to end my day!

I am thankful to Ms Adlina of @theminlist for the opportunity to attend such talk💕

Salam Jumaat Barakah!

Eid Mubarak! (Syawal is still here so better late than never)

It has been super long since I've blogged about something. And yes after 2 or 3 years hiatus, this makcik is still with her Kurung but not so much of Kedah. Hehe 😁

While searching for my Raya outfit inspiration this year, I noticed that the Kedah Kurung is like in the trend. Making its come back after soooo many years. There's Kedah top with skirt, Kedah top with pockets, Kedah top with the Kain lipat and such. Wow!!! After 2016, I've practically moved on from Kedah tops (need to cover the bum😝) However, I can say I am pretty impressed with some of the fabric collection by some brands for these Kedahs. Their choices of fabric brings out a refreshing look from a traditional outfit.

I go for a different choice this year. Since majority are in the Kedah Kurung hype, I prefer going back to roots. Simple kurung.. traditional? 🤔 Not!!! Hehehe 😁 As usual, I don't like "wasting" old kurungs so I dug them out of my wardrobe and paired them with batik (like my late nenek), with skirt (my favorite) and recently with my maxi palazzo (a denim one at that😉). Comfy and Perfect imperfections are my themes this year. Quote one successful lady," People can tell you something looks good on you, you can just go with your choice coz important thing is you must have the confidence to wear what you choose". Like I always say,"If you have it, flaunt it"

My Fav Vera Bradley Kurung with Tutu Skirt 😍

Late Granny's Kasa Rubiah Kurung with Back side pleated Batik (one of my fav style) 😉

You can be a plus-sized or whatever, important thing is confidence. Allah created everyone to be beautiful, of course, in their own way. So be confident!! 💃

With that being said, I am now pairing my kurung with my denim skirt 😂😂😂 just coz I feel like it and yeah this year, I am no longer raya-ing in my Converse (too many people already).. now I am raya-ing in my Onitsuka Tiger 🐯🐯🐯 Fierce!! Aaarrrrr!!!

Nothing beats the lightness and comfy-ness of my 🐯
