10 Things That Made Me Happy in July (2015)




Hi Divas!

It is officially August! Can we just take a moment to contemplate where the time is flying off to. Gees, universe slow down. Hope you are all having a good year so far. This month of July has been a little busy for me with work because it was the school holidays which meant more theatre shows for me. Besides work I have been embracing the cold Winter days. I don't particularly like Winter, my favourite season is Summer time. Nevertheless I have been making the most of these chilly days and finding little pleasures in the month of July. Here are 10 things that made me smile this month. You can let me know below whatever brought happiness to your heart this month too.

1. Pink Makeup Brushes: As most of you know I am a pink freak! When I saw these brushes for sale online they were seriously calling my name. I just had to have them. They are so beautiful and make me so incredibly happy when I apply my makeup in the morning. It just makes the process a lot sweeter when I have cute pink brush handles in my hand. They are as soft as bunny tails too. I am in love!


2. Milkshakes In Winter: I don't care how cold it is. It can be minus 40 and I won't resist a yummy chocolate milkshake. I just love that initial chilly feeling you get when you first sip your ice cold milkshake on an ice cold day. That feeling makes me smile ;-)


3. Korean Cosmetics Haul: I am totally gaga about Korean beauty products. I know I promised a haul post a long time ago but I promise it is coming soon. Any way I recently received three packages filled with Korean cosmetics. The packaging alone makes my heart skip a beat. How can makeup be so pretty and super cute all at the same time? Just look at that bright pink lipstick in the photo above. It looks like it belongs in a my Little Pony series. So cute!


4. Good Hair Days: So it's full blown winter in South Africa and Cape Town is especially wet and windy during these months. Cape Town winter weather is not kind to hair. The moist and windy air always makes my hair into a frizzy mess. Thank goodness for Argan Oil and Macadamia Oil shampoos and conditioners. My hair has never felt this luxurious in winter months. Good hair makes for a happy lady.


5. The Sea On A Cold Rainy Day: Have you ever noticed how beautiful the sea looks on cold grey days. It as a unique and mysterious beauty to it. Absolutely gorgeous and gives me warm and fuzzy feelings inside.


6. Devdas, My favourite Bollywood Movie: Guys!!!! This is my favourite Bollywood movie of life! I swear I could watch this film over and over again and never get tied of it. The story line is so heart wrenching, the costumes and cinematography are absolutely breathtaking. If you have never seen this movie, I urge you to watch it. I want to read the book too but I am struggling to find a English translation online, since it is written in Hindi.


7. Reading in Bed With A Latte And Chocolate: There is nothing better than cosing up in your pj's and fluffy socks in bed with a great book and some yummy chocolates and a latte to warm you up. The best me time ever!


8. Dressing Up In Bear Costumes: I have really enjoyed stepping out of the normal daily routines of life and shaking it up with a fat suit and some heavy bear makeup. It makes me so happy to dance around in a bear suit now and then. I also enjoy the process of putting on my bear makeup. I swear I could give all those YouTube beauty gurus a run for their money with my bear makeup tutorials. Lol!


9. Homemade Butternut Soup: I am not really a soup person but butternut soup is always a winner in my book. I especially love it when it's homemade and made with lots of love and a sprinkle of nutmeg. Mmmm ;-)


10. Brown paper packages tied up with string!: Lastly, what made my heart extremely happy was receiving packages from overseas that I have been waiting more than two months for. Thanks to the South African post office and their crappy service, my parcels have been stuck at customs for ages. I finally got my gifts this month. I am still waiting for one more package though, so I am holding thumbs. Big Yay, for mail! (Hashtag: #ThirdWorldProblems)



Thank you for reading.
Much Love!

  4. I love Devdas! I grew up watching Indian movies and this one has such great music. I have to watch with subtitles because I understand little Hindi but my grandmother spoke Hindi so sometimes she use to give me the inside scoop! I love hot chocolate in the winter and fall, I'm looking forward to the cool weather and boot season!
