AUTUMN ESSENTIALS 🍁🍂





Hello Loves! Welcome back to the prettiest season of all, Autumn.The season of beautiful scenery accompanied with an array of autumnal colours, crunchy leaves, and cozy knits.  Tis's officially sweater weather! 





Personally, i love the vibe of Autumn. the lovely hues, the warmth and the seasonal hot beverages, along with the opportunity to visit a pumpkin patch and take the classic pictures you've all probably seen pop up on your social media feeds. 


In today's post, I'll share my Essentials for the season. My favourite things that -in my opinion- accompanies the season.  


1. Vampy and Brown Lipsticks

If you were hesitant before about putting on a dark lippie before, This season is your excuse to ROCK it.

The dark shades of red and deep wine colours compliment this season's colours! and the best thing is you don't have to spend lots of time doing your makeup! You can pair the dark lippie with mascara and still look like you've spent time doing your makeup.

If the dark side wasn't for you, you're not left out. The  spectrum of browns and mauves gives us an alternative to dark lips. It's still the more natural options if you were not a dark lip enthusiast. My go to lipstick would definitely be Huda beauty's liquid lipstick in the shade "Trendsetter". While it is intended to be a nude, it will vary by skin tone. 








 2. Knits 

Besides their functionality to keep us warm, Knits are the season's MUST. sweaters with neutral tones such as greys and whites are usually paired with a pop of colour wether thats a red scarf, or mustard cardigan.







































If you're on the lookout for new additions to your wardrobe, check out Zara Knits and H&M. They do a fantastic job with their knits every season. They're my top favourites to shop from!



3. Boots

Pairing oversized sweaters with boots is a great transition to the winter. Chelsea boots are the trend  for Autumn 2017. While i like the minimalism of Chelsea boots, i love the lace-up chunkier looking boots as they add more grunge to the look.





4. Maple Cinnamon Latte

Pumpkin flavoured everything is Autumn's main ingredient in any food or drink during this season. the overhype of the pumpkin spice latte (Starbuck's bestseller during these months) could take over other Autumnal flavoured drinks. Here is a recipe for those who want to change up things; Maple Syrup Cinnamon Chai Latte:




Ingredients:

2 Cups Almond milk
2 tea bags
2 tbsp maple syrup (as desired)
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
Whip cream and cinnamon for seasoning.


Directions: 

1. In a teapot over medium heat, heat the milk until it simmers, then add the tea bags and let it steep for 5 min.
2.  Remove from heat and add the spices. Whisk well
3. Add maple syrup. Add whip cream and sprinkle some cinnamon. ENJOY!




What's your favourite thing about the season?

The death of the actor Robin Williams have been the news everywhere. Many people are mourning his death on the internet. He was a great actor that made everyone laugh and feel good. He was a comedian and a clown that provided millions of people with laughters and smiles. But deep inside, he was a depressed comedian. Depression is a mental illness that affects many of us. It doesn't discriminate age, gender, race, religion, etc. Many people suffer from depression yet there is still a stigma about it, which is the main reason why people don't get help. Depression isn't just a feeling, it owns you. it is a mental disorder after all. It is not just simple sadness.

1.  Baby Bash- Suga Suga ft. Frankie J This nostalgic throwback from 13 years ago (Released on Aug 15th, 2003) will still get you snapping fingers and jamming to the song today! 2.  Dream a Little Dream of Me imagine if you were strolling down the streets of New York city during the 1920s in the snowy winter, wearing a coat, and a hat, in true fashion of that time. That's exactly how this song makes me feel. 3. ZAYN- iT's YoU The song and the music has a Lana Del Rey kind of a vibe. It's a moody ballad that will put you in a certain mood. 4.  Calvin Harris - This Is What You Came For (Official Video) ft. Rihanna This has been my jam-to song in the car and while getting ready! It's the type of the song that will put you in a dance-y and good mood! 5. Shawn Mendes - Treat You Better The music video has an important message about abuse and violence in relationships, it even displays the number

Hello Loves! Today i'll be sharing skincare products that has been transforming my skin! I can say, that my skin & I  are finally on good terms, after a long time of love-hate relationship. I finally found my skin's true loves. 1.  Likas Papaya Soap I'll start with the basics. Soap. Yes you read that right. While the popular belief of not washing your face with soap since it tends to dry your face, this Papaya soup is packed with organic papaya enzyme that helps to smoothen your skin and helps treat acne scars and hyperpigmentation. While it is advertised as a "whitening soap", a popular asian beauty standard that should be replaced with the standard of all range of skin colour is beautiful, it does brighten the face and gives it a nice subtle glow without leaving it dry! 2.   Kiehl's Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution & Midnight Recovery Concentrate  This is what i call a magic in a
