The travel diaries: China - Macau part 2

Yup, part two of the most sentimental part of my journey through China!

I was Home. And I didn't realise how true that was.



Finding portuguese pavements on the other side of the world is a very unique feeling.
Leal Senado Square.



(Is this Macau or is this mainland China?)




Ruins of St. Paul's Church.


A wall filled with old posters... Absolutely loved it!


And so did Pedro, so much so he wanted to pose for a picture!


Visiting anothe famous site in Macau: Lou Lim Ieoc Garden. Oh how I missed these places...








Playing board games in the park!



Peace and tranquility in the middle of town.



Childhood drink in my childhood city ❤️


Posing for pictures in front of my last school with one of my classmates ✌🏻️


The same place I used to buy little gunpowder pops when I was a kid. Still there, still selling the pops, 17 years later!


One of the best places to eat, Nga Tim in Coloane!!





End of the night snack ❤️ yum


Visiting the last house I lived in Macau. We had this amazing view ❤️




Big fish tanks and coffee places that look like the Rossio Station in Lisbon. Macau you are still amazing.



Night view of Taipa.










East meets the West: street sign made of typical blue and white portuguese tiles, "azulejos", with the chinese characters.


Dinner in Hong Kong. Asian cuteness level overload!! (It was delicious!!!!)


I had seen the touristy and oh-so-familiar sites of Macau, I had the food I was longing for and walked the still familiar streets. On my last day, I decided to explore the "new" Cotai area.






And just like that, it was time to leave again. To all those who met me during my days at Macau, you were amazing! I can't wait to be back and for a longer period of time too!!

But adventure was waiting for me back in Beijing. And cool photos too.
XOXO,

M

Universal

Being an enthusiast of all things from The Body Shop, I'm always looking forward for new products and ranges. Recently, the brand launched their Smoky Poppy line, with Turkish poppies and just in time for Valentine's day. I have featured the body lotion on this month's wishlist, but along with the line came another product. These Velvet Sticks are suitable for lips and cheeks. The colours look vivid here, but I tested them in the store and was a little disappointed. The coral one was also on my wishlist, but I found the colour to be very light on the lips.  So what did I bring? See the black one? "Black lipstick and black blush?" Naah!! The packaging is gorgeous, but I'm a sucker for black and pink. Also the poppy flower print blends in very well with the logo! Here's what's interesting: this stick is called "universal" because it works for everyone. But not everyone will get the same shade! The colour changes according to your skin's pH

5 fashion things having a job has taught me

Image
Ever since I finished college and started working, some changes have happened in my fashion life. I am the youngest member of the staff, this is my first (almost) full time job and the environment, although casual and laid back, requires a certain discretion and poise on my part. #1 Working at a school and having to deal with the parents as well as with the kids, cleavage/see-throughs/extremely short shorts and skirts are frowned upon. The first two are just rude in a school environment. As for skirts and shorts, I wear them a lot during winter (with tights!), but it becomes tricky in spring. I only wear them when it's to warm to consider anything else. Harem/aladdin pants are also acceptable. Just remember: the shorter the bottoms, the more coverage you should have on your top, going for a boat or round neck tshirt. #2 Balance your makeup. I struggled a little with this one. As much as I love black eyeliner, even when I use a super thin brush, I rarely make a thin line. This m

Colour wishes

With the months passing by and the light of summer holidays shinning brighter at the end of the tunel, i want colour. And light fabrics. I want the warmth of spring as it it slowly transitions into summer and shorts and high-heeled sandals. As always, I'm in love with the same brands. And I'm also trying to get away from my comfort colours and turning to brighter vivid tones, as yellow and red. OYSHO 's bikinis are lovely as always and it's going to be tough pickig just one. ZARA has had major improvements over the last seasons, making it hard for me to buy just what I need. The dress seems so fresh and the pants make me look slim and taller. Plus, anything with an oriental print is a winner with me! I'm addicted to bags; my parents have said this for years and I know it to be true. But how can I resist when BIMBA & LOLA  always make such pretty collections? Who wouldn't want a pretty red bag as these? Ever since I bought a backpack, I've ditched the sho
