My 27 Before 27

So after my 26 before 26 list that helped to push me to achieve my goals (no matter how little), I am going to make this a thing in my life and viola, here’s my 27 things to do before I turn 27!

  1. Become debt free
  2. Find a charity or cause that I believe in and donate money regularly
  3. Invest in REITS and expand my investment portfolio
  4. Travel to 2 new places (I already have my tickets to Jakarta, Surabaya and Bali so check!)
  5. Start doing more classes on Skillshare
  6. Wake up and leave my bed by 0800 daily
  7. Learn conversational French (yes, it’s back on this list again as I did not manage to get to this goal last year)
  8. Save up and get a new bed frame
  9. Learn a new skill (I have so many things that I want to learn! I might do a post on that soon)
  10. Put plans in motion to start a business
  11. Constantly back up my phone and laptop to my hard drive
  12. Master the tree pose in yoga (as I lose my balance so easily)
  13. Get PADI certified
  14. Make healthier food choices when cooking and eating out
  15. Read on public transport instead of using my phone (I finally got myself a Kindle to help with this goal and the one after)
  16. Read at least 12 books (Books I’ve read so far:)
    1. The Restful Mind (Gyalwa Dokhampa)
    2. The Urban Monk (Pedram Shojal)
    3. Love For Imperfect Things (Haemin Sunim)
    4. You Are A Badass at Making Money (Jen Sincero)
    5. Lessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life (Gisele Bündchen‎)
    6. The Compound Effect (Darren Hardy)
    7. The 5 Am Club (Robin Sharma)
  17. Master new dishes for meal prep
  18. Journal at least once a week to reflect on the week as well as the goal for the next
  19. Switch to more eco friendly products
  20. Drink more milk to strengthen the bones
  21. Actually use an expense tracker and stop relying on my mental abilities to track my expenses
  22. Be more friendly and sociable (like I usually am on holiday! I find that I tend to be more introverted and less likely to strike up a conversation when I am back home)
  23. Clear out the room and embrace minimalistic design
  24. Eating mindfully with no phone or book
  25. Project 10 everything! (You can read more about that here!)
  26. Organise the kitchen and pantry
  27. Try surfing

What are some of your goals for the upcoming year? 
Till then,

  • Playing around with the 3 new products from @revlonsg. - Revlon just released 3 new products: ColorStay Looks Book Eye Shadow Palettes, Ultra HD Matte Lip Mousse Hyper Matte and Volumazing Waterproof Mascara. I got my eyeshadow palette in the Original version, and I do like how small and compact it is! The shades are extremely wearable and can be used to create looks suitable for both day and night. The pewter shade (second from the right) is my absolute favourite! - Look 1 : This is a natural look featuring just 3 shades from the palette. I used the satin transition shade (5th from left) in the crease, applied the satin bone shade (2nd from the left) all over the mobile eyelid and lined the eyes with the darkest greyish brown shade (complete left). - Look 2: Did a little halo smoky eye using the same transition shade (5th from left) in the crease, followed by the darkest greyish brown shade (complete left) onto the inner and outer thirds of the mobile eyelid. Then, of course, had to apply my favourite shade, the pewter (2nd from right) to the middle of the lids. I decided to spruce things up a little by adding a winged liner, but that's personal preference. If you would like the shades to pop even more, I would suggest using a black eyeshadow crayon/base to prime the lids beforehand! - I also used both the lip mousse and mascara in the two looks above. The Ultra HD Matte Lip Mousse does feel moisturising on my lips and does not emphasise any fine lines. It doesn't dry completely matte in my experience, but nothing like a quick blot from a piece of tissue won't cure. The mascara is really decent, and it added a good amount of volume to my lashes! - #RevlonSG #WhipItMatte #BoldProducts #LiveBoldly #ShowThemWhoYouAre #CSLooksBook
  • One of the most beautiful sunsets I’ve seen 🌝 •• The lil escape to Phuket went swimmingly with Muay Thai, stretch classes and lounging by the beach to fill my days.

Ain’t the greatest feet out there but y’know 🙈 •• #clozette #santhiyaresort #santhiyakohyaoyai #phuketthailand #kikkik #10yearplan
  • Heading home from Phuket and @santhiyaresorts tonight •• Read the book, Perfectly Imperfect by @baronbaptisteyoga, and loved the insights 😊. A good read if you’re trying to learn more about yoga beyond the physical 👌🏻 •• #santhiyaresort #santhiyakohyaoyai #travelholic #clozette

  • Hello July! I know that I’m one day late posting here but my blog post sharing my goals for the upcoming quarter of 2019 published on time yesterday 😬 •• Why split the year into quarters, you ask? It basically gives me the opportunity to refresh and have a fresh start. A new start to conquering my goals and refining my daily routines. It’s also a chance to reflect on what went well and what could be improved in the past 3 months (aka the second quarter of 2019) •• After graduating from school, time flies by even faster as there aren’t any specific time breaks (think: semesters). So, I had to create them for myself. If not, the whole year will pass me by and I wouldn’t even realise it! •• Hope this post inspired you gave you something to think about 💗 •• #hellojuly #lifegoalsinspirations #goalsfor2019 #monthlygoals #yearlygoals #clozette
  • Definitely one the best books I’ve read so far ☝🏻 •• @robinsharma ’s The 5AM Club had really amazing insights and tips of how to improve your morning, daily routine and thus, your life. Don’t dismiss the book just because of the title! •• I’ve created a post featuring: 1. Why we should get up at 5am (or just earlier than our normal) 2. Why it’s hard for us to make that change 3. What to do with all the extra time we get from waking up earlier •• The blog post is up #ontheblog if you’re interested 🤓. Happy weekend! •• #robinsharma #the5amclub #morningroutine #wakeupearly #ownyourmorning #5amclub
  • Current skincare favourites 💫 •• Featuring skincare goodies from @drwu.sg, @iunik_official, @vichy_sg, @ahc.official and @supermoodbeauty. For more detailed thoughts on these products, you can read the latest blog post #ontheblog. •• I have been using some of these products for about the past 1-2 months or so, and I really see an improvement in my skin. I also bought myself a @iloveskininc Optimiser Trilight which I feel definitely aided the absorption and boosted the benefits of these products too. Review on that will be up soon. Happy Monday!❤️ •• #clozette #skincarefavourites #ahcsg #supermoodbeauty #iunik #vichysg #drwusg
