Hk Goodies

I recently went to Hong Kong for a family holiday and i took this opportunity to purchase a few things from sasa, mannings, colour mix and other stores.

I wish i bought more stuff to try out but nevermind, I will or hopefully be going back to Hong Kong next year ^^

Galaxy, Macau

I recently went on holiday to Hong Kong for 2 weeks with my family along with a few of our close friends and family. During the 2 weeks, we went on an overnight trip to Macau to stay at the newly-built casino/hotel, Galaxy that has been built adjacent to The Venetian. 

When we arrived at the Galaxy, i was in complete awe when i saw the actual infrastructure of this building, it looked soooo grand and sooo different from all the other casinos that i have seen in Macau itself, definitely one of a kind.

Here are a few pictures that might take your breath away.

Another lobby display on the other side entrance to the Galaxy

There are 2 hotels within the Galaxy, I stayed at in the Hotel Okura. Below are pictures of the hotel room that i stayed in.

Here are some pictures taken from the poolside.

This is a man-made beach with waves

Pretty Little Things by Xtine

A few weeks ago, I decided to get out my sewing kit to create my own hair fascinator for my friend's wedding out of ribbon, lace and feathers.

This is what i came up with =)

Item 1

Item 2

Item 3

As you can see, from item 1 to item 3, there are slight differences and improvements to each item and in the end, I used item 3 as my choice of fascinator for my friend's wedding=) 

This was my finished look =) 

Big Congrats to Daisy and Garwai on their wedding day ^^ Thank you for inviting me to be part of your special day. 

Wishing u both a lifetime of happiness together x

I was born and bred in Newcastle and honestly the carry on throughout this series is total madness, half of the words that they use to describe certain actions, i have not heard of before in my entire life, did they just create these terms to make it more catchy??? i do not know!
What has been your highlight of season one ???
