So we're well into Chinese New Year now but I'm just gonna be blogging about our last day of 2016 cause it's better late than never, haha. We decided to change our NYE plans up a bit this year since Ngiap had a room at The Sail thanks to his company (and thanks to Ngiap for sharing!!) Potluck, whiskey balls, some very smokey fireworks and after which venturing out to Beauty in a Pot at 3am for our first and very awesome meal of the year (they have 20% off if you go really late at night + no queue!)

I can't say I'm sorry to say by to 2016, it was a pretty tough year not just for the whole world but for my personal little world as well. I know that nothing really changes just because it's a "new" year but I guess it's nice to think that we all get somewhat of a clean slate. So far 2017 seems to be doing alright, that's all I can say.

I don't really make resolutions, but I do feel have this weird feeling at the bottom of my stomach that keeps reminding me that this year I tip towards closer to 30 than to 20 (I'll be 26, ok) and the kid part of my life is basically over sooo in light of everything, I guess this year... I just want to feel alive. Throw stuff at me, life. I'm ready.

Since Valentine's Day is almost here, Sephora Singapore kindly gave me a little shopping budget to treat mahself to their range of Guerlain products available online!

So for obvious reasons I was drawn to their Meteorites range because of the pretty pastel colours BUT also because their star product is the Meteorites Pearls which literally evvverryonee talks about online. Sadly for me it was sold out in my shade, so I opted for the Meteorites Compact (in Medium) which anyway seems more travel friendly. I feel that the Meteorites as a product is a nice to have, but not necessarily a must-have if you are just starting out on makeup as it does come at S$84.00 a palette - I would add it on after all my make-up to give my skin that extra luminosity and colour correction if I'm feeling fancy, as it's supposed to be really subtle and sheer.

I also picked out their Eyebrow Kit (S$65.00) because I couldn't resist how cute and compact it was, and that it had 3 different browns + 1 highlighter so I can blend and customise it according to my own eyebrows (goodness knows how lazy I am when it comes to carrying make up out so this is super handy???)

So yep, what pretty things do you guys like to treat yourselves to on Valentine's Day?

I love Christmas parties at Jo's cause this girl always goes all out on decor and food is usually super festive, enough to get you in a real warm and fuzzy mood.
