God and I , on the 237 bus.

This is the closest to what I was seeing on the bus. Picture from Google Images
Hi there, how are you today? I'm on the bus as I type this, on my way home from learning all about how to be an ethical accountant, as well as a bit of shopping. I got two pairs of quality black leggings from Zara and a bright orange spring jacket for my brother from Uniqlo. It's a very good day today.

I couldn't wait to type until I got home. As I sit in front of the bus with my £1 multicoloured sunglasses on from Primark, I look towards the sky and I am in such awe at how majestic the clouds and the sun are. The sky is calmly blue and the clouds are so white, light and fluffy, the sun's rays peeking through and it's absolutely amazing to see. My face is warm and the shy leaves finally start to come out and it puts a smile in my heart. I cannot help but think wow, what a beautiful place we live in. We easily just look ahead but rarely look up. I am also not particularly sad but lifting my chin up 120° from my neck has greatly lifted my mood. Who knew a bus journey could be so amazing?

I was praying for an opportunity to tell someone about the gift of life, although it hasn't been exactly answered, he had other plans that he wanted me to do today ie. writing this post. So if you're reading this, it's no coincidence, for reals! :-) He wants you to know that He can be your friend and that He would love to listen and respond. No typing, no talking even, no costs, absolutely free! Pretty awesome, isn't it?
What an awesome creator He is, literally. Awesome.

Look up to the sky guys. He is talking to us, showing Himself to us, if you only look up and see, He will lift you up.  Trust me, it feels amazing. I'm in cloud 9 right now.

Hope you are well. I have to get off the bus now. Laters! Take care :-)

A rare London day out! // Covent Garden, Oxford Street, Friday's, Haagen Dasz

London is such a beautiful place especially now that you get to wear less layers. There's more colour and warmth and a lot more visible positivity. My "supadupa" significant other and I decided to adopt a just say yes attitude and went out for the day. It has been fulfilling to appreciate life. We don't do this often so we were probably like baboons being let out of the cage!! oo oo aa aa

Friends, Cookies, Chinese food // Lovely week

I think it has been such a lovely past week. Last friday I have met up with a few old friends and it was so lovely to just have them around. In a way, not being able to see each other a lot makes you value the little gatherings that you have. Friends are blessings I tell you. They're beautiful. Baked them cookies, cooked instant Korean ramen, went out to get bubble tea and I had my first Taro flavoured one! Yummy. Of course we had to take pictures.
The cookies:
 The silly bear who came late when everyone left:

For today's lunch we had this: Siomai
And a selfie:
First time ever having this drink and it tastes like cereal. It's not my drink. I wouldn't want to drink Weetabix.

And also visited my other half's family which I do not have pictures of. This should be resolved because for the future, I will have my first ever  DSLR! Lovely pictures of loved ones, lovely make up, lovely moments, lovely scenery and lovely anything to come. *squeal* Oh yes, I have been spending money at an alarming rate. However I do think I still have control and still have savings.
Thank you, God for the gift of life.

Drugstore madness !!!! MUA, BOURJOIS, SLEEK etc // Nails of the day

Guess what you guys, all this for a grand total of £42.97 
Here is the list:
Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum £10.99
Collection 2000 Pressed Powder £1.99
Sleek blush by 3 in Lace £9.99
MUA Cream Blush x2 for £2 each
MUA Primer £4
MUA lipsticks x6 £1 each
MUA nail polishes x5 £1 each 

Now this is the baby pink shade called Natural days. It's the second one from the left in the top picture. I never thought I would like really light nail polish, but guess what, I've surprised myself yet again.

It's a very weird thing that's happening. I was very sceptical about make up before but I'm a budding make up hoarder these days. It helps that I don't earn as much as I'd want because as I'm starting to realise, it's a very expensive hobby. However right now, I am enjoying budding into a new lady. Yay!

SO  MAKE SURE TO CHECK OUT MUA IN SUPERDRUG! THEY HAVE AWESOME STUFF!

Blessed Sunday // Home made treat

Let's start with this, I was looking for my phone just now, stood up rummaged through my bag, looked under my duvet, on top of drawers and found nothing. Surprise surprise, it was just right in front of me! aya yai and by the way this is a very faith-y post with pictures of home made afternoon treats
Must add description: soft, chewy, cinnamony, sugary niceness

I was back in church today after being absent last week because of my persistent cough. Naughty naughty virus. Our former pastor preached today and talked about Paul and his conversion, lovely miraculous story, and how his story is all about that pivotal point that believers often have. It got me thinking and remembering some things.

Revlon Lip Butters, Revlon Just Bitten Kissable lip stain

I would love these, please..

Itching to buy make up...NOTHING NEW HERE FOLKS. But I have been watching Make up artist Lisa Eldrige, reading Estee's blog (essiebutton) and I'm starting to believe that I have dry skin. No, I didn't just figure that out by just watching those videos. I have that problem where I put foundation on and it doesn't stay and worse, it sort of..gathers in just that dry spot, and looks flakey and NONE OF THAT! So, things I am wanting..

Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum
Bourjois Healthy Mix Concealer

Sleek trio blush palette in Lace!

Real Techniques Core Collection


and hmm.. I should probably take pictures of my haul. I've not taken them out of their bags yet. I have found good bargains again. Yay!

I'm so thirsty.

Does anyone know of very good moisturisers for Dry Skin?

I'm sort of beginning to formulate a structured skin care routine. My, never thought I would say that! lol

EEEEEEyyydi x

ps to future Adie, you must write a post about Films everyone need to see or my favourite films or Shameless USA or everything else that's in your brain. k bai
