I used to be an all-brush girl and that worked out just fine regardless if the product I'm using is cream-based, liquid-based or powder-based. When beauty blenders became a thing, of course I wanted to try them! However, I didn't want to buy expensive ones that cost $20-$25 each.

Washi Tape Collection
Hello there! I have been obsessed with washi tapes since 2013 and have collected quite a number of them. I had to stop buying because they aren't cheap when bought locally!

Photobooth Props.
We chose not to rent a photobooth for the wedding. Instead, we asked our photographer to assign one of his crew to take the photos for us. This meant I have to DIY some props for the "photobooth". Taking inspiration from Pinterest, we asked our florist to do the same heart frame to serve as… Continue reading Photobooth Props.
