What? Another month already? I just did my February favourites though?!
Ah well, I've got plenty more ;)
Also, I'm going to Sicily soon, so expect lots of photos when I come back! I'm so excited - the food, the sun, the adventures, the food...and more food... I've heard that Sicilian cuisine is even better than Italian, and I didn't think anything could be more heavenly than that!
But hey, let's get on with it!
♥
Skincare:
Quinoderm 10 - For those of us 'blessed' with skin that resembles the sky on a starry night.
How do you do, Mr. Ursa Major? Enjoying life on my face?
This is a strong cream with 10% benzoyl peroxide hydrous, which is GREAT for acne sufferers. And it actually works! I always make sure to moisturise or use some oil after though, as it does dry your skin out.
Fashion:
Denim on denim - I've been absolutely loving this look. Mostly because it's comfy and versatile, but it also looks cute! Pairing my jeans with a denim jacket is my go-to outfit nowadays (I probably wear it more than I should...), finishing it off with a silver necklace and black boots.
Music:
Death of a Bachelor, Panic! at the Disco - I have come to this so late, I know. I'm horribly ashamed of myself. How that had happened, I'm not sure, but I spent those few months missing out on something so amazing. My favourites, the title track and Crazy=Genius, literally send shivers down my back. I love the story behind this album, the fact that Urie now is Panic!, his marriage, and his struggles in the past year. This album is the best!
Book:
The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, Oliver Sacks - I'd say that this isn't for everyone, but you never know, so I'll let you decide. It's a book by the neurologist Sacks who tells the stories of various patients who have neurological disorders. It's fascinating to read about these illnesses and the effect they have on people's lives. Some are completely bizarre, whilst others are deep and touching, and it's made me really appreciate my mind and body.
Food:
Knusperflocken - My dad went to Germany and came back with a few bags of chocolates, and this was one of them. To be honest, I'm not entirely sure what's in it, but apparently, it's white chocolate and crispbread, and it's very very nice. Not the most sophisticated of chocolates, as one expects from Berlin, but one should appreciate it nonetheless.
Physalis - I think it's a fruit. Or maybe a flower? Or maybe it's overcompensating for being a type of the infamous nightshade? Either way, you can eat it (and not die).
Moment:
Witnessing a gaping hole being burnt through a measuring cylinder due to a bit of ash in hydrogen peroxide. It was hilarious, terrifying, and awesome.
Seeing Billy Elliot the musical (I enthused over it here), which was so inspiring.
The dream I had a few days ago, where I went to a dog-buying convention to get a dog. I found the perfect one.
(But then it was snatched away from me by a little girl, and suddenly I was crawling around on my knees, trying to catch running beagles. I don't know either.)
Apps:
Sworkit - Since it's the holidays, I've been doing a little bit of exercise in the mornings, just ten minutes or so, and it's helped me wake up easier and stay in a better mood for the rest of the day. I've been doing five minutes of 'core strength', followed by five minutes of 'full intensity cardio', and it's been great. I love the customisability of the workouts and the super easy interface that even a lazy novice like me can handle.
Person:
It isn't the person that I like, as such, but a quotation by him that I heard.
Rudyard Kipling once said,
'A woman's guess is much more accurate than a man's certainty.'
Isn't it just the best? What empowering words for all females!

That's all folks!
Hehe, I used to love Looney Tunes.
I love you
