Fall is my favorite season because it's just that perfect mix of warm and cool but not too cold as winter and neither too hot as summer. Moreover, what's not to like about fall colors, Halloween candy, Thanksgiving, and anticipating the winter holidays?  Unfortunately, wherever I look at social media there is all this materialistic love for fall that is commercialized and sold as a dream filled with all the things you apparently need to own to enjoy the season. So I have decided to do a post to remind everyone that Fall is a wonderful season that offers many opportunities to enjoy life without being materialistic. Here are some things to love about fall that are not related to money or possessions: The changing colors of the leaves and the crisp air that make nature more beautiful and refreshing. The cozy feeling of wearing warm clothes, drinking hot beverages, and snuggling under blankets. The festive mood of celebrating holidays like Halloween and Thanksgiving with family and...

I've been tagged by the lovely Aly, one of my favorite bloggers. Without further ado, listed below are my most used summer things.   MOST USED NAIL POLISH Tough one! I just love a lot of colors for summer and I definitely have more nail polishes than the number of weeks in summer, so there's no one most used nail polish, but I'll pick my fave of them all, which is, the Wet n Wild mega last salon nail color in I Need A Refresh-Mint . I also recently found out that my review of this polish has been posted on the Wet n Wild VIP members' blog.

I most definitely enjoyed having it both on my hands and toes during this summer. MOST USED PERFUME/SCENT I've been using two actually, alternating them every single day this summer coz that's how much I like them. The Victoria's Secret Pure Seduction, ...

I have recently seen bloggers doing the "this or that" tag so I thought I'd try it out as well. This is the first tag post on my blog, hope you guys like it. MAKEUP Blush or Bronzer : Blush because I just don't understand the purpose of Bronzer and neither do I know how to use it. Lip gloss or Lipstick : Lipgloss since I find most lipsticks to be drying, and just too intense for my liking. I also never seem to have good luck with lipstick shades. It's very difficult to find something that suits my skin tone. Eyeliner or Mascara : Mascara on a daily basis, but when I am going for a festive look then I do like using black or colored eyeliners. Foundation or Concealer : Foundation in light coverage and pressed-powder form. I never experimented much with liquid foundation but the odd couple or so times I did, I found them to be quite drying. I never use concealer because I find it too thick and intense. Neutral or Color Eye Shadow : I really tried hard but I just...
