Last time we were in America, which was two years ago, Matt and I found these 'lucky charms' like cereal at target and they were these massive I-need-both-hands-to-carry packs. We brought that back with us all the way Australia and several boxes of the original 'lucky charms' and found they were so similar if not better because we were pretty sure the 'non lucky charms' pack had a lot more of those sugary marshmallows :) You can imagine the many days we just had cereal for breakfast, lunch and dinner even after giving away most of it. I was so happy :) In case you didn't know, cereal is my kryptonite. I have however learnt to let go of all that glorious sugary goodness and have leaned towards more nutritiously beneficial kinds. You know, the bland ones I try so hard to mask with fresh fruits.
So, Matt and I had already made out our minds that we were just going to make a massive haul next time we were there and I really wanted to get some for my cousins back home. My parents will be visiting me in September so I was really happy that was a solution to what could have been ridiculous shipping cost to Malaysia. Because really, going away on a holiday to a Chinese like myself means buying gifts back for the entire extended family. Lol.

Anyways, lol, what I really wanted to say (I hope for Matt's sanity I don't get Alzheimers. Imagine all the long winded stories I'd come up with over the years of my life which all somehow and someway relate to each other on repeat till I die!) when I clicked 'new post' was, how cute this Dior clutch makeup palette is :) Found it while browsing for something cute for my 16 year old cousin. I can't believe she's turning 16 this year. She's like the baby sister I never had. As adorable as this is though I won't be getting her that or for myself for that matter. It's too girly for me, although I have to admit is quite adorable. I was looking along the lines of a selection of tinted lip balms, a nice peachy pink blush, maybe a tinted moisturiser. You know, a fun start-up kit that's easy to follow that she can maybe use when she goes out for a nice dinner or a girly get together. You know, stuff kids her age do these days... I'm turning into an old fart :( I wonder why I've never thought of this sooner. Such a great idea!
