Yay for FREE/CHEAP INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING

Morning ^_^
Sourced from Google Images
You guys probably know by now that I love shopping, whether it's online or at a physical store.

What I love more though are online stores that offer free or cheap international shipping because I don't want to say...buy 1 item for $10 and pay $20 for shipping or spend over $100 and still have to pay for shipping.

Those of you who live in the US probably have nothing to worry about because most US based sites ship free to US addresses but those of us in other countries sometimes get charges ridiculous amounts for shipping >.<

So today I've done the research for you and have picked my top fashion/beauty online stores that offer free/cheap international shipping.

Another Christmas Gone

Hi ^_^


Another Christmas has come and gone :( It's amazing how much buzz Christmas can create each year in the lead up to it yet it passes so quickly.

It's kinda sad because when Christmas ends, it tells me that in another 6 days it will be a whole new year. Time flies too quickly don't you reckon?

Anyway, I had a quiet but very enjoyable Christmas this year and got spoilt rotten by the boyfriend. I'll be featuring my presents in the December Haul video which I will be filming later on this week but will most likely be up before NYE because tomorrow is Boxing Day in Australia!!! I think that's the equivalent of Black Friday in the US? Correct me if I'm wrong :)

So Boxing Day is basically the day after Christmas when EVERYTHING goes on sale! That's actually quite funny because this year, my bf and I were going to wait till Boxing Day to get our Christmas presents for each other because it'll be way cheaper but it didn't work >.< Some of the presents on my wishlist were disappearing quite fast so we ended up getting them in case they weren't going to be there on Boxing Day which they won't be now because they're all sold out so that was good that we got them first. There is still 2 more items on my wishlist which we are going to get tomorrow though so fingers crossed they haven't sold out.

I'm all worn out and need to go to bed so goodnight all. I hope that you've had an enjoyable Christmas this year and that Santa got you the presents you wanted ^_^

Nature's Calling

Hi ^_^


 So yesterday the bf and I were bored and I had my camera with me so I said "let's walk to the park so I can take pictures of flowers" and he reluctantly said yes >.<

I love taking pictures but I'm in no way a professional and I probably wouldn't even say I'm a budding photographer. I just love the way the camera focuses on one object and blurs out everything else. It's so beautiful because it's like that object has the undivided attention of the camera and the ability to be able to capture that is amazing.

I'd like to share with you guys some of the pictures I took and you guys can use them as wallpapers or whatever you want but I do ask that you credit it back to me :) If you want the full size image, comment below and I'll be in touch.

The camera I'm using is the Canon Powershot G12. Enjoy!

Review - Subiaco Skin Technology Clinic (Eye Treatment & Lash Extensions)

Good morning sunshines!


Ok so yesterday I went to get an eye treatment and lash extensions because I bought a voucher from Cudo to use at the Subiaco Skin Technology Clinic here in Perth. I wanted eyelash extensions to save time in the morning so that I wouldn't need to put mascara on.

First Impression:
One word to describe it - SMALL
It was nothing I had expected at all. Firstly, it was hard to find. The address is Hay Street but the entrance was actually off a side street. Then when I walked in, I thought I had gone to the wrong place because it was SO small! The clinic basically consists of 2 rooms. The first room is the lobby/reception and the second room is where you get your treatments done with other people. The treatment room had 2 lay back lounge chairs so you don't even get a room to yourself.

Just Saying Hi

Hi ^_^

I haven't posted in a few days so thought I'd just say hi to you guys :D

Anyway...I've been busy working on my YouTube channel -> twinkylalaful

I know that I have a lot to improve on in terms of my presentation style, video quality and also the contents. I say a lot of "um"s and I really hate that but I can't seem to stop saying it because I'm so nervous >.< I promise I'll work on it because sometimes even I get annoyed at people who say too many "ums".

I also uploaded another video tonight on hair treatment products which you can view here but tomorrow I'll be writing a proper post on it -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8aFJcBq4cI&feature=channel_video_title

Anyone who knows me can tell you that I absolutely LOVE my iPad 2. I love it so much that sometimes I feel lost without it >.< I just love the convenience of it. It's lightweight, looks nice and sleek and it's really simple to use! Especially compared to some of the Android tablets.

I love all the apps that it has to offer and I made the following collage with an app called Album App which is a free app.


Ok that's all from me now...I gotta go sleep and wake up nice and early tomorrow.

Goodnite ^_^

TAG: Introduction/Get to Know Me

Hey ^_^

So I just posted up my first ever video on my new Youtube channel - twinkylalaful subscribe subscribe?

I edited it using iMovie which I've never used before and it took me about 30mins to learn how to use it which I think is pretty good ^_^

I will be posting up videos of stuff...like tutorials, reviews, random things, Lookbook outfits etc

So this video is an introduction/get to know me tag so that you guys can get an idea of who I am and what I like etc

I still can't search for the video yet because my channel's so new but you can view it here. I'll replace this bit with the actual video once it's searchable.

*Update - My videos are now searchable on YouTube!
