money saving tips... (for the ladies)

Hi All,

Just want to share a small tip with the ladies on how to prolong your manicures if you intend to have one done. I'm not a very girly girl nor very into manicures and stuff, but ever since I chanced upon a gelish advertisement a few months back, I'm kinda hooked. Firstly it's because it is afforable (S$28 per session for gelish) and secondly, it lasted me for at least one month each time I did it, which is VERY value for money to me. The usual manicures I do myself only last a few days max because I'm a very hands on person.

Ok, I'm sure many will start thinking "Won't the nails look damn gross with your new grown nail and old manicure?". Well, the secret to it is how to make the growing of your new nails less discreet! It's actually a no brainer to this (ok maybe I just wanna show off my nails lah). Choose a base that is either transparent or very close to your original nail colour.

If you are doing french, start off with a thicker tip, so that as you progress, you can slowly trim your nails and still have the french effect.

Here are some pictures to share on the past manicures I did:

PS: Dunno why my pictures could not be rotated even after I did so in my computer.

Hope this little tip helps!

Bangkok!

I'm finally going on a holiday this year! What a vast difference this year is compared to last year. I've become domesticated. HAHA. Wonder who can do that to me... well, only that one special person... Anyways, I'm going Bangkok with my DB peeps and I'm getting excited! It was an impromptu kinda holiday as Bangkok is not in my list of to go place. I had a bad experience the last time I was there and didn't get what the hype is about. But then again, it could probably be the companion I went with and the agenda the other time. It was more work then fun. I can't wait to get on that flight and fly away... hopefully I'll come back refreshed! xoxo, Mabel

That indescribable feeling

I was pondering to myself why people say that when you love someone, you couldn't give a reason why you love him/her. If you could give a reason, it just goes to show that you love those qualities in that person, not the person. In the past, I am a firm believer of the latter. That love has no reasons. When reflecting on my own relationship, I was thinking to myself whether is it really true. That love has no reasons. The romantic side of my thinks it's true, while the pragmatic side says otherwise. Here's what I have concluded. I love that my man is dependable, easy going, good natured, positive in attitude and outlook in life, stable. Basically the rock in my life (there's no need for any other rock, seriously). But hey... Lots of men possess the qualities stated above. But none is able to capture my heart like how he did. THAT is the reason I cannot find words to explain. THAT is why I am drawn to him and not any other guys that possesses the same qualities...

Musings of the day

This morning I was going through my insta stories and saw Tony Gaskins (I love this guy) ask me a question session. It was so informative, and an eye opener to see so many people airing their relationship issues. It put a lot of things into perspective, especially seeing things from a 3rd party POV. Seeing what sort of advice all of them are seeking, the answer is already very glaring, but they are blinded by it and chose to ignore it. The same happened for me. The answer was glaring when I expressed my feelings a few months back, but I chose to hold on. Well, no more. When I finally opened my eyes and see things as what it is, I felt, free. Free from my own demons, own insecurities. And I felt ready to move on and focus on something else. What I have learnt is that true love never leaves you doubts and sadness. I have to learn to think for myself. On that note, I have decided to take a break from my DB team. Reason is very simple. It is a toxic relationship, one that limits my grow...
