MY 7 MUST HAVES / ESSENTIALS

UNO -A GOOD BOOK

If you knew me since primary school, I was one of the many people who hated reading. I would do absolutely anything to avoid picking up a book. Fortunately, my mother made reading fun. Every time I finish a book, she would give me a sticker to paste on the spine of the book. Since then, I read more books. (my love for stickers is real, kan Cheng Li kan??)

After the busy SPM life, I got back into reading and let me tell you, I feel more human. I forgot how thrilled I am whenever I pick up a brand new book. I am currently reading the second installment of the firebird trilogy by Claudia Gray; Ten Thousand Skies Above You AND the classic Anne Frank Diary. Yes, I know I am so behind but books don't have expiry dates, do they? hehe.

My top 3 reads: 
1) The Potion Diaries by Amy Alward (3rd book in August !!!)
2) The Last Princess by Galaxy Craze
3) Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon (motion picture coming soon !!!)

Please give the books a read and you can thank me later.

DOS -JOURNALS

Ever since I was 9 years old, I would always write about my day or thoughts in a book. You know that 'Dear Diary' kinda thing? yeah that.. All thanks to The Barbie Diaries  .
At the moment, I am using 3 journals. Just hear me out alright?

a) Normal journaling journal for everyday thoughts
b) Question Of The Day journal ; february Qs
c) Rezeki Of The Day journal

Most of you might think, "man Afiqah how do you keep up with the journals everyday?"
The answer to that is I don't. You do not have to write an entry every single day. Write as you like!
Journaling is just another way to let things out and clear your mind. Write whatever your heart desires. When you're content, write. When you're feeling blue, write. When you're furious, write. When you're perplexed, write. I guarantee you will feel better if not terrific. You should definitely give it a go!

TRES -COLOURED INKS

 When jotting down notes or writing an essay, I need that pop of colour to spice things up and lift my mood. Instantly in raptures.
What more can I say? Coloured inks make me jubilant. Particularly, pilot's wingel, my trusty sharpie markers and the  Monami LiveColor pens. I am obsessed with them and I don't care what you think. They always come in handy especially when making birthday or farewell cards. Another reason to keep collecting them is PRESENTATIONS, YES.

 CUATRO -BODY or HAND CREAMS

 Who has dry skin, put yo hands up, p-p-p-put yo hands up. I feel you girl, I feel you. Parched skin is awwwwwful. Thanks to the amazing Bath & Body Works, my skin is grateful for their lush ultra shea body creams. My absolute favourite scents are Sun-ripened Raspberry, Sweet Pea and Pretty as a Peach. Mmmhhhmmmmmmmm! Nothing better than applying lotion after a refreshing shower.

CINCO -LIP BALM

Now this one is a total must have. I get really annoyed when my lips feel dry, even if they don't look as dry. Apply any lip balm containing beeswax or petroleum and you can kiss your chapped lips goodbye. I highly recommend vaseline, it is life changing. Watsons' and Guardian's lip balms does the job too and are A okay.

SEIS -MINYAK CAP KAPAK LOL

Okay this has been THE staple item for countless years. I get major headaches so often, it's ridiculous. However, it does not bother me as much as it used to, alhamdulillah. I don't think I need to explain further, it is what it is haha.

SIETE -INTERNET

So these are my 7 must haves and life essentials. Simple and basic, nothing more. I hope you enjoyed reading this post as much as I did writing. Let me know what your life essentials are and have a nice day ahead!
