Diaries & Writing | HelenaAsia

Woah! Hey there! It feels so nice to be blogging again since I know I haven't for 2 weeks :( Sorry about that but school has been a complete pain and I couldn't keep my blogging on top so I decided to take a break :/

Buuuut, I am so happy to be writing again and that's what I wanted to blog about today :) I always loved having a diary and I've had 3 so far: 2012, 2013 and this years and honestly I think that over the years it's been really nice to every once in a while go back to look at what you've done in the previous year/s. For me, writing in a diary has helped whenever you need to get something out, whether it be anger or maybe something super amazing happened and it's a really personal way of documenting it :)

I actually went back and read my diary from 2012 and I didn't realise how much juicy stuff that thing has in it! I never managed to finished my 2013 diary and stopped in August for some reason and this year I stopped for 6 months! I have gone back to writing in my diary as often as I can and I really want to stick to it - kinda like my blogging haha. I challenge any of you to try to keep a diary and make it anyway you like! I don't write everyday and I tend to keep and stick in cinema tickets, train ticket, little shenanigans that could give that day a little more life, weird but I kinda like it.

Sooooo after all that, I do hope to be writing more on here, this blog that I love and miss! Look forward to some more posts coming very soon I promise since after all it is the half term :)

Skincare? Body Shop? Wishlist Time!| HelenaAsia

I know what you're all thinking... is this sponsored or something but no haha, I remember back about a year and a half ago, me and my girlies loved going to The Body Shop and Lush and we'd buy stuff from there for Christmas and Birthdays! Since then the love has slowly faded but recently I've really want to delve into skincare and first I looked at Simple but then I realised The Body Shop have a good range right? So I went and used the Skincare Diagnostic Tool...

Let me just tell you, I think you should try it and see what products you've been recommended for your skin because I'm gonna say I want to buy all of the products I got recommended! It is out of the The Body Shops skincare range not other companies, in case you didn't catch that haha!

How it would go!
1. Vitamin E Cream Cleanser
First I'd go in with the cleanser and remove all the dirt and any makeup off my face and they recommended the Vitamin E cleanser because I think that this is for all skin types :)

2. Seaweed Clarifying Toner
The seaweed range is for combo skin and I definitely would say that I get so oily around my nose >.< and the whole seaweed range is to help control oil and mattify your skin a bit.

3. Seaweed Day Cream
This day cream seems right up my street and this will probably be my first purchase from the wishlist! It says "Moisturises dry areas, balance excess sebum and gives a matt, shine free completion :)

4. Tea Tree Night Lotion
For those that didn't know, tea tree is amazing for your skin and since sometime we can all get the odd spot here and there, The Body Shop recommended this night lotion as something to help deal with that! It works overnight hopefully leaving you with better looking skin in the morning.

Extras!
There are a few little extras that they pop in...

These little extras are going that little step extra in your skincare routine and maybe aren't that essential ^_^

I know this post is a bit different... hmm I don't know but I hope this may have helped if you are wanting to get into skincare and were a bit stuck! I know The Body Shop isn't the cheapest but it does have a wide variety that would help everyone's skin <3 nbsp="" p="">

Love you all <3 nbsp="" p="">

Things Aren't Always What They Seem | HelenaAsia

Confessions time! I thought I'd share with you something that, well just occurred to me about blog

that has surprised me...

Starting this blog back in April I thought that I would be more a beauty blogger, and even though I did include lifestyle in the slogan(?) of my blog, I didn't actually know if I would be blogging about lifestyle stuff that much. As it turns out I blog about my life and what I like in my life than I do beauty.

This is something I realised and I thought that I wanted to share it with you all because it kinda shows that sometimes things don't always turn out how you thought they were going to. I am completely okay with the fact that I'm more of a blabber on my blog because I feel like it's me. It's my genuine content to post what I'm thinking about and what's going on.

I am obviously still going to be posting beauty stuff, it's just so happens that's going to be when I feel inspired and I don't wanna force content out of me that I'm not happy with. I don't want to turn this into a rant or anything because it isn't meant to be, I just wanted to mention it in a blog post.

I am really starting to feel like I love what I post and I want to put more effort in and make every post count and really start to add more personality and style into how I write and design my pictures and what not.

I really want my blog to represent me and what I love and I don't think I was really doing that before, I hope to really improve my blog and I hope y'all look forward to seeing this happen :)

Love Always, Helena x

Autumn Lovin' | HelenaAsia

Via

Autumn, as us Brits call it is finally among us! Wow that's the first time using that word among...

I have been waiting for autumn for so long! I have to been completely honest in saying that I do actually kinda miss this summer and I feel like it went a bit too fast :(

That being said, I LOVE the autumn! It's always been my favourite season :) There's something so wonderful about this season to me... the slight warmth with a breeze, sweaters and knee high socks, the deep wine red and burgundy and the darkness coming at earlier hours...

I could honestly sit and think about it all day, the way the leaves fall off the trees, the nature of it to me is beautiful considering that everything is pretty much dying at this point... As Dali also pointed out in her blog post about autumn :)

This year I am gonna make it a really cool autumn and there are a few little fashion items that would complete my go to autumn look :D You could possibly see some sort of blog post on that too? I think that's also one of the reasons I adore autumn, the clothing is to die for - just like the nature haha...

Can't wait to see if it snows though this winter, I do like the winter but I just feel like here in England it gets a bit too cold for my liking and the constant raining making my school shoes soaked is the most horrid feeling ever.

Autumn Always < 3 hehe

Let me know what your favourite season is? I'd love to know...

Ciao x
