Pretty sure you don't remember me. I'm the girl who decides to restart her blog a million times and then forgets about it once life gets a ~bit~ too hectic. <p></p><p>For the past 12 months, <a href="https://www.whatsarahwrites.com/2020/09/7-series-to-binge-watch-right-now.html" target="_blank">since I last wrote on here</a>, I have been trying to navigate through life after graduating which I believe is always a very strange time to adjust to. On top of that, there was a little thing called covid that was still very present and very much life-affecting.</p><p>For some reason, that I cannot understand, I decided to stop creating content for What Sarah Writes. Now I do not have many hobbies so I do not know why I decided to take a break that eventually ended up being a whole year. The only conclusion that I have come to is that I simply felt overwhelmed with things on my plate and quite burned out after a summer of interning full time and following an evening course. So come October I was like, ok this was enough work, now I need to take a step back. Instead, I did a complete 180 and ended up letting go of any extra things. </p><p>Looking back, I also think that back in September we were kind of going out of that first covid wave and life was kind of getting back to normal. Restarting this blog was one of the things I did during the March lockdown and as the months went by my mindset had changed. For a few months, I was very unmotivated but eventually, I was very lucky to get a job working in marketing, social media and design and a role within a student organisation which were my creative outlets and gave me a sense of direction.</p><p>Now fast-forwarding to the current day. Recently I have been feeling a bit lost with where I'm going and I want to do something else besides my everyday routine. My first step in moving past this phase is to invest in my interests yet again. So here I am giving blogging another try. It does feel a bit unusual and as I am not sure how and if I fit into the space but I want to do this only out of interest and hopefully, things will fall into place on their own. </p><p>Thank you for reading!

I love getting immersed in other worlds for a short period of time and forget about my own problems. I'm always looking for the next series to watch and I thought you might enjoy a list of recommendations too.<div><br /><p style="text-align: center;">--------------------</p><h3 style="text-align: center;">1. The Umbrella Academy</h3><div><br /></div><p>If you don't watch anything on this list, at least watch this show! I loved the first season when I watched it last year and I couldn't wait till the second season came out last July...I ended up binge-watching it all in a day.</p><p>The series is based on Gerard Way's comic books of the same title which revolves around the dysfunctional lives of 7 children with superpowers that were adopted by a strange and wealthy man. These children are trained to be superheroes and fight crime. The series picks up years later on the now estranged family, reuniting after the mysterious death of their father. What follows is a wonderful and mind-blowing journey where the siblings must come together to save the world.</p><p>This series has got everything; superhuman powers, unexpected twists, sibling rivalry, time travel, questionable romantic relationships, amazing character arcs and action-packed fight scenes. Above all, it has an impeccable choice of music that perfectly fits within each scene.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DAmWHxeoKw" target="_blank">Watch the trailer</a></p><p><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: center;">2. Why Women Kill</h3><div><br /></div><p>I recently decided to watch this show after having seen various clips pop up from time to time. This series revolves around the lives of 3 couples, all living in the same house but in different time periods - one in the 60s, one in the 80s and another in 2019. All are having some type of marital problem and the show chronicles the women's story and what drove them to kill. Since us the viewers know from the start about the murders, we are kept on the edge throughout. We know that the murders happen but not when, how and why it will happen, or who will eventually end up dead. </p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFYNqmKdaoI" target="_blank">Watch the trailer</a></p><p><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: center;">3. Down to Earth with Zac Efron</h3><div><br /></div><p>I have always loved watching documentaries and well, everyone loves to watch Zac Efron! I didn't have any high expectations going into this Netflix series but I was quite pleasantly surprised. Down to Earth is not your usual travel documentary as each episode revolves around a topic or issue which we are facing today such as renewable energy, sustainability, beekeeping and pollution and more. Zac and his co-host, Darin, come across as being very humble and appreciative towards the cultures and people that they meet throughout their travels. I highly recommend this series if you're looking for something easy to watch, yet informative and entertaining.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMzYiY5wcHU" target="_blank">Watch the trailer</a></p><p><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: center;">4. Love on the Spectrum</h3><div><br /></div><div>Love on the spectrum is an Australian reality dating show which follows the lives of 7 young adults who are on the autism spectrum. I am not very knowledgable about autism so it was really interesting to learn how different autism can be for every person. Also, Jimmy and Sharnae are such an adorable and understanding couple!</div><div><br /></div><div>This show proved to be a mix of emotions - funny, sweet, heartbreaking and heartwarming. If you're looking for your next dating show fix but with a twist, then definitely give this Netflix series a go. </div><div><br /></div><div><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kX-QbcXyZug" target="_blank">Watch the trailer</a></p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p></div><h3 style="text-align: center;">5. Euphoria</h3><div><br /></div><div>Euphoria has been a series, I have heard about a lot but never got around to watching it. The show centres around the life of Rue (Zendeya), a teenager battling drug addiction and fresh out of rehab. This doesn't mean that she is cured and is planning on staying sober. Besides Rue's wins and downfalls in school, friendships and addiction we are also introduced to the troubles of other people whose lives somehow intertwine with hers. The show manages to deal with so many issues faced by teenagers while presenting them in a true and sometimes shocking way. </div><div><br /></div><div>Overall it was an amazing series and I basically watched it all in two days! The storyline and characters are so well thought out and conveyed. Apart from that, the clothes and makeup are a masterpiece themselves. </div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziMUD0_TTg0" target="_blank">Watch the trailer</a></div><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: center;">6. Friday Night Dinner</h3><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div><br /></div><div>Is there a series that you just love to go back to? This one is mine. This British comedy show is the perfect one to watch after a long day or if I just want a pick me up as it never fails to make me laugh. </div><div><br /></div><div>In every episode, the Goodman Family attempts to have a normal family dinner on Friday evenings but everything always turns chaotic. Although the characters are somewhat eccentric, we can all somehow relate the storylines to our own families. Everyone is a bit weird and strange from the outside perspective after all!</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oxs7phFtT4k&t=20s" target="_blank">Watch the trailer</a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: center;">7. Sacred Lies </h3><p style="text-align: left;">The award for the most surprising series I stumbled upon goes to...Sacred Lies. I was just casually scrolling on Facebook when I came across a trailer for a series that it entirely streamed on the app. I then proceeded to binge the whole second called The Singing Bones!</p><p style="text-align: left;">This basic premise of both seasons is that of solving a murder mystery. In the first season, we follow the life of a girl who runs away from a cult whose leader mysteriously dies. The second season (the one I watched), follows Evie who was abandoned by her father as a child. She has been going from foster home to foster home for all her life and has been left traumatised by this experience. Meanwhile, a woman who has decided to dedicate her life to identifying unsolved cases takes on a case of a Jane Doe and her investigations lead her to Evie. From here on secrets and lies begin to unravel and Evie suddenly finds herself confused more than ever about her past. </p><p style="text-align: left;">If you love drama and somewhat horror series, this one is for you as it will surely keep you on the edge throughout the whole screening. </p><p style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1557643397700665&extid=QiEGl4mapBCK1lJ1" target="_blank">Watch the trailer</a></p><p style="text-align: center;">------------------------</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">I hope that this list gave you some ideas on what to watch next and if you have any other recommendations let me know in the comments below!</p><p style="text-align: left;">PS. How cute did this illustration end up looking? I've been playing a lot with flat design lately and I'm loving it!</p><p style="text-align: center;">Sarah xx</p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://twitter.com/whatsarahwrites">Twitter</a> | <a href="https://instagram.com/whatsarahwrites/">Instagram</a> | <a href="https://www.facebook.com/whatsarahwrites">Facebook</a> | <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/whatsarahwrites/">Pinterest</a> | <a href="https://www.bloglovin.com/blogs/what-sarah-writes-14451943">Bloglovin'</a></p></div><br />Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09214781872024935354noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-889598978734757802.post-4629108394470491342020-08-17T19:06:00.000+02:002020-08-17T19:06:09.893+02:00Free Phone + Computer Wallpaper<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XRA5UyesH1Q/XzkCBm2U0rI/AAAAAAABMOs/Krm0id8WqXMSwNU4d7nkiQo2ZrFF09AdwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/OI000207-01.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="1250" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XRA5UyesH1Q/XzkCBm2U0rI/AAAAAAABMOs/Krm0id8WqXMSwNU4d7nkiQo2ZrFF09AdwCLcBGAsYHQ/w938-h1250/OI000207-01.jpeg" width="938" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Hi everyone! Hope you're all doing well. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I have always loved to be creative and lately, I have been creating quite a few projects of my own such as the recent <a href="https://www.whatsarahwrites.com/2020/06/de-sene-branding-packaging-project.html" target="_blank">De Séné branding and packaging</a> project. My internship with a local agency as a graphic designer has really improved my designing skills and I feel like I am able to create things much easier and have a better outcome. Due to the amount of work I have, I haven't really had the time and energy to create my own personal projects but a few days I decided that I wanted to change my phone and laptop wallpaper. I saw this as a great opportunity to try my hand at creating my own designs so I opened my laptop and started playing around with some ideas! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_fKJ0k0o-Rw/XzkCByxdCsI/AAAAAAABMOw/QBV0RNJ2NHkh2MTCNcliqBfM8GIDz4pewCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/OI000209-01.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="750" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_fKJ0k0o-Rw/XzkCByxdCsI/AAAAAAABMOw/QBV0RNJ2NHkh2MTCNcliqBfM8GIDz4pewCLcBGAsYHQ/w1000-h750/OI000209-01.jpeg" width="1000" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The designs I created were inspired by warm summer colours and I tried to add some elements that I have been loving such as the monstera leaf and dotty patterns. I created 3 'collections' with two variations of the design. I also went ahead and created a version for the computer for each design.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I'm really happy with how they turned out and I think that my phone and laptop look great with their new look! What do you think? Since I'm quite happy with the results, I thought I might as well share them with you all.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

But do we actually know the origins of this elusive Maltese superstition?<br /><br />The Eye of Osiris can be found in many places around the world but the stories behind it are often similar. The “evil eye” is commonly understood among the Maltese population as a process whereby someone places harm and misfortune on their enemy, due to some form of greed or jealousy. Such an example would be where one compliments their rival on what a beautiful carpet they have and the next day this person wakes up to find their house flooded and the carpet ruined. One would say that the carpet was cursed. <br /><br /><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ddSA5aNzOFM/XywnOkODb5I/AAAAAAABLw0/jcU3fwN8IMw_fPl5B6xoxqVYBcRI5GzKwCPcBGAsYHg/s4487/OI000185-01.jpeg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3360" data-original-width="4487" height="749" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ddSA5aNzOFM/XywnOkODb5I/AAAAAAABLw0/jcU3fwN8IMw_fPl5B6xoxqVYBcRI5GzKwCPcBGAsYHg/w1000-h749/OI000185-01.jpeg" width="1000" /></a>Cases of the evil eye can be traced back to the time of the Inquisition (1561 - 1798). As time went by and the numbers of these “cursing” cases grew, so did the trade of trinkets and ornaments that promised to ward off evil. <br /><br />Many years have passed since these ages but today we are still influenced by these superstitions, whether we want to or not. It is now part of our culture and we can still be seen donning these charms and occasionally return a snide compliment with the two-finger sign. Besides, if you pass by any port in Malta you will see the traditional boats which have two eyes in the front to ward off the evils in the deep sea.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /><span><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Wvw-gRG-rQA/Xywn5Ivgt_I/AAAAAAABLyg/3wrEMqZ7NI8e-DH1BhVgnY9UkXUgrSL8QCPcBGAsYHg/s4125/OI000184-01-02.jpeg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3097" data-original-width="4125" height="750" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Wvw-gRG-rQA/Xywn5Ivgt_I/AAAAAAABLyg/3wrEMqZ7NI8e-DH1BhVgnY9UkXUgrSL8QCPcBGAsYHg/w1000-h750/OI000184-01-02.jpeg" width="1000" /></a></div></span><br />If snippets of history fascinate you or you’re superstitious then you should consider grabbing yourself a beautiful <a href="https://gramcollections.com/collections/pendants/products/18ct-gold-the-eye-of-osiris-pendant" target="_blank">Evil Eye Pendant from Gram Collections</a>.

It's been a while, hasn't it! Hope you have all been well over the past month and a half that I have been absent. Some of you may know that I am in the last year of my degree and after finishing my dissertation last April I still had some project before I would be set free. Yesterday marked the last project I had to complete in these three years and it's quite a bittersweet moment! It doesn't really feel like the end since my university experience kind of ended last March but this is it now. Hopefully next December you will be able to see me wearing the toga during the graduation!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">For my final project, I had to create a brand and design the packaging of a product. Since being introduced to graphic design during my course, I have been really drawn to this area. Previously, I did create some graphic design projects but none were like this one where I had to research the market to develop a brand and actually produce the physical packaging. (Disclaimer: While the research behind the project is real, the brand is fictional and I did not actually make the product itself.)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So without further ado, let me introduce you to De Séné!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xikvUnTjWno/Xuufco5INYI/AAAAAAABKac/u1i09dqsTCYxuIYzkqcKCGkGnRV0pwWgwCK4BGAsYHg/s4359/P6174139-01.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4359" data-original-width="3269" height="976" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xikvUnTjWno/Xuufco5INYI/AAAAAAABKac/u1i09dqsTCYxuIYzkqcKCGkGnRV0pwWgwCK4BGAsYHg/w733-h976/P6174139-01.jpeg" width="733" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">De Séné (French: From Senna) is a natural and organic skincare brand which uses the senna plant as its main ingredient. The senna plant has beautiful bright yellow flowers and is found to be a natural and organic alternative to hyaluronic acid. While hyaluronic acid works wonders on the skin, especially combination skin, it is derived from animals. (I was very surprised when I came across this fact as I had never looked into how hyaluronic acid is actually made.) From here, the concept of the hydrating senna leaf moisturiser for combination skin was born!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The packaging itself is quite simple, using a colour palette inspired by the plant itself. The jar was quite easy to create labels for, but the box was definitely tricky. I had never constructed something like this so it took quite a bit of trial and error before I was able to complete it! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PHNwoKJyFGo/Xus3ZGDtMXI/AAAAAAABKUE/fwQFuuYRb8YOnPPzpPSmdr6tWFZxWnF-ACK4BGAsYHg/s4608/P6174110-01.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="586" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PHNwoKJyFGo/Xus3ZGDtMXI/AAAAAAABKUE/fwQFuuYRb8YOnPPzpPSmdr6tWFZxWnF-ACK4BGAsYHg/w781-h586/P6174110-01.jpeg" width="781" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nclFZh_cnXk/Xus3YZV2dLI/AAAAAAABKUA/YSXXm8bAv-oBuV-p0uJnV6-H34fsGIp3wCK4BGAsYHg/s4608/P6174115-01.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="586" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nclFZh_cnXk/Xus3YZV2dLI/AAAAAAABKUA/YSXXm8bAv-oBuV-p0uJnV6-H34fsGIp3wCK4BGAsYHg/w781-h586/P6174115-01.jpeg" width="781" /></a></div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dqL8MXNjcTg/Xus3lyRar3I/AAAAAAABKUc/or4xJpjipXshLIia99VwpYOvJpMxwphWQCK4BGAsYHg/s4608/P6174107-01.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4608" data-original-width="3456" height="1220" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dqL8MXNjcTg/Xus3lyRar3I/AAAAAAABKUc/or4xJpjipXshLIia99VwpYOvJpMxwphWQCK4BGAsYHg/w916-h1220/P6174107-01.jpeg" width="916" /></a></div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qpS9dpxYJpk/XuuQhrSQGKI/AAAAAAABKZ8/wYvSb6oxOdIuZhWfdR60jJhOCBJ9xUNMACK4BGAsYHg/s3210/presentation%2Bde%2Bsene.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2216" data-original-width="3210" height="539" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qpS9dpxYJpk/XuuQhrSQGKI/AAAAAAABKZ8/wYvSb6oxOdIuZhWfdR60jJhOCBJ9xUNMACK4BGAsYHg/w781-h539/presentation%2Bde%2Bsene.png" width="781" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I still cannot believe how it ended up looking like an actual product as I did not think I would be able to finish the whole thing!

It seems that there has been a theme in my latest posts to give an update on the current situation so here goes last week's. Fortunately, there have not been many new cases of COVID-19 in Malta these past few days and some restrictions will be lifted as of tomorrow. For the first time in god knows how many weeks, the retail shops will open again! (Although I'm still going to stay home to be on the safe side.) I'm happy that things are starting to improve and I hope they will continue to do so. Now on to today's short post.</div>

A few weeks back I was contacted by <a href="https://femmeluxefinery.co.uk/" target="_blank">Femme Luxe Finery</a> which is an online clothing brand based in Manchester, UK. They kindly sent me some items to try and I've been living in them since they arrived. The items I chose are all comfy <a href="https://femmeluxefinery.co.uk/search?view=results&q=Loungewear" target="_blank">loungewear</a> as I needed a little refresh from the same 5 items that I had been wearing over and over! Besides loungewear sets, they also have a range of going-out items such as dresses, tops and shoes. The package only took about a week to ship, so if you're looking for some affordable items definitely head to the website.</div>

I made a bit of a mistake when ordering the white shirt as I sized up for a baggy fit but ended with a t-shirt dress! I still will be getting a lot of wear out of it during warm days. The 'love yaself' shirt is a great reminder that we should all strive to accept ourselves for who we are. As RuPaul once said, </span>"If you don't love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?”</div>

<br />
Like many of you reading this post, I have been stuck at home for well over a month. Although Malta didn't impose a nationwide lockdown, everything is closed and everyone is advised to stay home.<br />
<br />
Fortunately, the end of this chapter seems to be inching closer as today marks a quite historic day for Malta: no new cases of COVID-19! Hopefully, our lives will be returning to normal or some type of normal in the near future. Until then I just hope that the situation will keep on improving not only in my country but all over the world.<br />
<br />
Right now all I seem to be doing is looking back. Last week I looked back at <a href="https://bit.ly/3bFFfDu" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the last places I visited</a> and today I'm sharing with you how I have been spending my time indoors.<br />
<br />
<h3>
1. Finishing my dissertation</h3>
<br />
<div>
This has been my biggest achievement so far. My dissertation has been quite a large part of my life in the last few months and I am glad to say that those long hours of working on it are finally over. I still have other university assignments and projects to finish but it still feels like the last year of my degree is somehow drawing closer and closer to an end. </div>
<br />

<div>
<h3>
2. Redecorating and reorganising</h3>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Since University ended, I have gone back to living full time at home and found myself to be spending nearly all of my time in my room. It was in quite a state as in Winter I only come here on the weekend and in summer I'm out nearly all of the time. I decided that now would be a great time to declutter, reorganise and redecorate it. So for the past few weeks, I have been scouring Pinterest for the best room inspo and moving every piece of furniture that I can!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
3. Planting</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have always loved plants and have quite a nice collection of cacti on my windowsill but lately, they had started to look a little bit sad. Now I have planted a few more and actually started to water them. You may think that I'm a bit weird but I actually love to see the changes they go through day after day, especially when they sprout a new leaf or branch.</div>

<h3>
4. Watching Tara Michelle's "The Witch" saga</h3>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One evening I stumbled upon a YouTuber's video where she talked about how her neighbour was terrorising and stalking not only her but all the people in her block. This woman referred to as <i>the witch</i> did so many outrageous things that I was hooked and before you know it, it was 3am I had watched about 10 videos about this neighbour. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLN2L7qFYly9o97G5vTd-wu2wkzV2nRCnX" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Click here</a> for the playlist if you have finished Tiger King and want to watch some more crazy stories!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<h3>
5. Reading Harry Potter</h3>
</div>
<div>
<br />
<div>
I have been trying to read the Harry Potter book series for years now...yes years! When I was little I used to go through so many books but in the last years my phone has taken over and I can barely finish a book a year. Right now I'm trying to read a little bit every day so maybe by the end of the lockdown, I will have actually read a book.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<h3>
6. Annoying my cat</h3>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you were to ask me for a photo of my cat, I will probably show you one from every single day we have been inside. I've been just going around taking photos of her and trying to make her love me until she either leaves, decides to scratch me or both!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<h3>
7. Watching Netflix</h3>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Netflix has been a saviour for bored people all over the world! At the moment I am watching RuPaul's Drag Race and rewatching That 70s Show. I also managed to finish Tiger King in a span of fewer than two days and watched countless movies. If you have any Netflix recommendations let me know.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<h3>
8. Blogging</h3>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Last but not least, I have been blogging again! This is the third post <a href="https://bit.ly/2SbdPxD" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">since I restarted</a> and I have been enjoying just sitting down and writing down my thoughts. I am so happy that I am back! Taking photos has also always been a big part of blogging so I have started posting on Instagram again. If you don't already, I would appreciate it if you could give me a follow, that way you can stay updated with new blog posts as well as snippets of my day.<br />
<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Although it seems like I have been spending and enjoying my time well, I have also found it hard to cope from time to time. Going from having a routine, attending University, seeing my friends and living with flatmates to moving back home under lockdown was quite a shock. Lately, it's been better as it feels like I have finally adjusted but at the start, I would often find myself feeling sad and anxious. So when I start to feel a bit down I like to remind myself that I'm not alone in this and what is happening right now is not normal for anyone. If you've been feeling the same, try to not be hard on yourself and remember that it's ok not to be totally ok! We will get through this.</div>

Unfortunately, we are at a time when the only travelling we are doing is between the bedroom and the kitchen! Sad thoughts aside, this period of self-distancing has made me appreciate the fact that I have the opportunity to go on holiday and can visit such lovely places.<br />
<br />
Since I cannot travel, I thought I would share the last places I visited since my last <a href="https://www.whatsarahwrites.com/2018/08/a-day-at-lake-como.html" target="_blank">travel post on Lake Como</a>. Hopefully seeing these pictures will either remind you of the memories of travelling to these places or inspire you to plan your next holiday.<br />

<h3>
Dublin - October 2019</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My last holiday was back in October when I went up to Dublin for four days to visit my cousin who was on Erasmus in Ireland. I was very excited about this holiday for many reasons. Firstly, because we had been planning this for well over four months. Secondly, I had not seen my cousin in two months and third, we were actually going to see Little Mix live in concert. This also happened to be the first time I would be travelling alone. Although the four-hour flight there and back felt like they would never pass, I would definitely do it again!<br />
<br />
The Little Mix concert was the highlight of my time in Dublin and I can confidently say that it was the best night of my life! We also enjoyed the Guinness Storehouse tour, walking through St. Stephen's Green and exploring Dublin Castle.<br />

Sicily - September 2019</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Last September we went to Sicily for a day trip where we went to Marzamemi for some delicious gelato, did a bit of shopping and explored Ortigia. I have been to Ortigia many times as it is a beautiful place. You may even remember a post I wrote in September 2017 about my <a href="https://www.whatsarahwrites.com/2017/09/3-days-in-syracuse-sicily.html" target="_blank">3-day visit to Ortigia and Syracuse</a>. </div>

Munich - February 2019</h3>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
Way back in February of last year, my mum and I went for a weekend in Munich. Going for a weekend away in February has been our little traditions in the past few years. In fact, I blogged about our <a href="https://www.whatsarahwrites.com/2018/03/3-days-in-london-photo-diary.html" target="_blank">visit to London</a> in February 2017. Fortunately, this year we decided to skip booking a holiday and this was probably the best decision that we could have taken! I don't even want to think about what would have happened if we had actually booked after the virus started!</div>
<br />
<br />
When in Munich we explored the streets of the city. Below you can see the Rathaus which is located in the main square called Marienplatz. We also visited Nymphenburg Palace which had the most beautiful wall and ceiling frescos in the grand hall. On one of the evenings, we decided to take a stroll by the river Isar and came across an absolutely stunning sunset.<br />
<br />
The best part of our visit was going on a 3-hour journey to see Neuschwanstein Castle. I felt like I was in a scene from a fairytale with the castle in the middle of the snow-coated mountains. (This castle was the actual inspiration behind the Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland!)<br />

<br />
Well hi hello, I do not know how to start.<br />
<br />
First of all happy Easter and I hope that you and your families are all well. Second of all, this feels very strange to be writing on here again. My blog has been dormant for the past year and a half, since October 2018 to be exact. My life had changed quite a bit during that time, I had started my second year of University and I was busy trying to keep up, and all of a sudden I felt like my blog did not fit into my life anymore. As time went by I forgot about my little blog and for a while, I thought I would never be back...until now.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, we are currently living in very strange times and having to learn to adjust to the new 'normal'. The coronavirus has hit the world hard and Malta is not an exception. We are fortunate that the situation is still currently not totally out of hand but everyone is anxious and feeling like their world has turned upside down. The streets are basically deserted, everything is closed or cancelled and going to the grocer feels like an expedition. School has been closed for a month and will remain so until the next scholastic year. That also means that I will actually be finishing uni via zoom and hangouts classes and submitting my dissertation online. But at least I am grateful that graduations in Malta take place in December because I have seen so many posts from people who unfortunately will never get to have a proper ceremony. I am also grateful that my dissertation deadline was pushed forward due to the current situation because let me tell you, writing a dissertation during a pandemic is nothing but stressful!<br />
<br />
So you might ask, why restart your blog now? The short answer is <i>I'm bored in the house and I'm in the house bored</i> (If you were wondering; yes, I have become addicted to TikTok). The long answer is that I have been at home for the past month working on my dissertation and I wanted to try to do something else besides just uni work and annoying my cat. A few days ago I remembered that I had not logged onto my blog in a really long time and decided to go take a look. What was supposed to be a short peak, ended up in a rabbit hole of reading old posts till about 2 am in the morning. (My sleep schedule is horrendous at the moment. Please don't judge me) I was getting a bit emotional while reading all the posts I had created over the years and it got me thinking about all the memories of taking photos, planning posts and writing. That is when I had the thought about restarting blogging...and so here I am today! I am hoping that keeping a blog will be a great way of spending self-isolation and occupying my thoughts.<br />
<br />
Previously my blog was filled with makeup and outfit posts, and while I still like these things they are no longer as important to me. Besides, I have barely worn any makeup in weeks and I have been practically living in hoodies, sweatpants and PJs! (Not really photo-worthy to be honest) Therefore, I am planning on writing posts that are more lifestyle and opinion-based, with a few beauty or fashion posts thrown in the mix from time to time. You can also expect some home-related posts as I have recently been making over my room and have become a bit obsessed with scouring the internet for nice home decor pieces. I'm loving how my room is turning out and hopefully, I will be dedicating a few posts on the renovation.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That's all for today. I hope this post actually makes sense as I feel like I have been rambling on and on without any direction. All I have left to say is to stay home, stay safe and see you soon!</div>

It seemed like Christmas had come early when I opened my 3INA PR package! I was definitely not expecting that amount of beautiful products in the box. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This was not the first time trying 3INA lip products as I was previously gifted a lipstick and liquid lipstick which I both loved. Their lipsticks are creamy and pigmented while the liquid lipsticks are not drying and stay put throughout the day. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This package consisted of 6 longwear lipsticks, 6 lip pencils, a lip brush and a lip primer. As usual, I have to say that I love the packaging and I am guilty of still having a few old packaging lying around! The minimalist design complements and highlights the shades perfectly. </div>

Wearing The Longwear Lipstick 509 and The Lip Pencil 508</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
First, let's start with the <a href="https://3ina.com/eu_en/the-lip-primer" target="_blank">Lip Primer</a>*. The primer's job is to make the lips smoother and to also make the lipstick even more long lasting. It can also be worn on its own to care for the lips or oven on top to turn a lipstick into a matte finish one. This product comes in a tube so it provides an easy application. It is also clear so it can be used in combination with any colour you may want.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This package also came with the <a href="https://3ina.com/eu_en/the-lip-brush" target="_blank">Lip Brush</a>* which is very handy to use when applying any type of lip product. It makes application so much easier and the finished look will definitely look a lot neater when going in with the brush to clean up. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3Hp4O2SPpTw/W9AuWXxf1jI/AAAAAAAA5h0/6gWD9gzSSfMboVEu_Q2AvRFTiUfqj6yBgCLcBGAs/s1600/OI000006-01.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="3INA longwear lipstick, 3INA lip pencil" border="0" data-original-height="1201" data-original-width="1600" height="480" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3Hp4O2SPpTw/W9AuWXxf1jI/AAAAAAAA5h0/6gWD9gzSSfMboVEu_Q2AvRFTiUfqj6yBgCLcBGAs/s640/OI000006-01.jpeg" title="3INA longwear lipstick, 3INA lip pencil" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When I saw the contents of the box, I was most excited to try out the <a href="https://3ina.com/eu_en/lips/lipstick/the-longwear-lipstick" target="_blank">Longwear Lipsticks</a>* and I was definitely not let down. The Longwear Lipsticks came in the shades 500, 501, 502, 503, 505, 507 and 508. I already owned shade 503 as it came in a previous package but I must say that the shades are completely different. The previous one is much darker than the new one. Maybe I’m just not seeing right or maybe it’s because it’s part of a new refurbished range. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Obviously, I love all of the lipsticks but I am currently reaching out for the red shade (509) and the dark nude shade (505) the most. Apart from these 6 shades, there are 12 others to choose from so 20 in total. There are also some fun metallic effect shades available if you want to go for something extra!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To go along the Longwear Lipsticks, I was also gifted some of the 3INA <a href="https://3ina.com/eu_en/lips/lip-pencil/the-lip-pencil" target="_blank">Lip Pencils</a>* that included the shades: 503, 504, 506, 509, 510 and 511. These lip pencils apply smoothly to the lips and the bonus part is that they all come with a lip brush attached to them! All the lip pencils couple up perfectly with a longwear lipstick such as pencil 506 with the red (509) and pencil 511 with the dark nude (505).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you are looking for a new affordable liquid lipstick that lasts all day, then head to a 3INA store and pick out one of their Longwear Lipsticks along with a Lip Pencil!</div>

Besides collecting makeup, I also have a great love for skincare products which I must say I now have quite a nice range of items. This is not just because I'm always trying to fight back my oily skin but also because I love having a little pamper routine to wind down. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I have not changed my face wash and toner since my <a href="https://www.whatsarahwrites.com/2016/10/skin-care-routine-oily-blemished-skin.html" target="_blank">last skin care routine post</a> and I still use the tea tree oil ones from The Body Shop. I find that The Body Shop's tea tree range works well with my skin and as you can probably tell from the photos, I have accumulated a few products from this line.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aAhvm6pztJ8/W5pstA8APdI/AAAAAAAA4HU/xOieOcYdQ547Prcek0SJp7yKD6MUzFWaQCLcBGAs/s1600/OI000033-01.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1201" data-original-width="1600" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aAhvm6pztJ8/W5pstA8APdI/AAAAAAAA4HU/xOieOcYdQ547Prcek0SJp7yKD6MUzFWaQCLcBGAs/s1600/OI000033-01.jpeg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
One product I've been using continuously for the last few years is <b>The Body Shop Tea Tree 3-in-1 Wash Scrub Mask</b>. As the title suggests, it can be used for 3 things which to me already makes it a great product. It can be used to wash by applying it to a wet face, used as a scrub and also left for a few minutes as a mask. I usually use it as all 3 at once by applying to my face when wet then rubbing the product in circular motions to scrub and leaving it on for about 15 minutes as a mask. It always leaves my face smooth and free of dead skin. My very sensitive skin gets barely irritated either!</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Another product I use a lot is <b>The Ordinary Natural Moisturising Factors + HA</b>. This moisturiser was included in last Christmas' Asos advent calendar (which was a very good purchase and introduced me to many new brands). It came as a full sized product and I have been using it nearly every day since I opened that day's door. A small amount of product goes a long way with this one. I'm also 99% sure that it has tiny specks of shimmer in it and I love using it n the morning to make me look more awake. The other positive thing is that it does not leave my skin feeling greasy and absorbs really quickly.</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Next up is <b>The Body Shop Tea Tree Blemish Anti-Imperfection Daily Solution</b> which I use from time to time. It's a serum that can be applied in the morning and in the evening to minimise blemishes and also to improve the overall appearance of the skin. I either use it in the evening before applying moisturiser or sometimes I use it alone when I don't feel like moisturising. To be completely honest, I can't tell you if it has had a direct effect on my blemishes as I've never used it for a continuous number of days to tell. Although I can say that it always leaves my skin feeling smooth and plump. I've also found that my makeup sits really well on my skin after I apply this serum.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-p980O9rzQOg/W5pstqsjH3I/AAAAAAAA4Hc/_f-gQSxH50AjfZJMQ6neS1Xvy9czbum3ACLcBGAs/s1600/OI000031-01.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-p980O9rzQOg/W5pstqsjH3I/AAAAAAAA4Hc/_f-gQSxH50AjfZJMQ6neS1Xvy9czbum3ACLcBGAs/s1600/OI000031-01.jpeg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The next two products are ones that I use directly to combat blemishes. <b>The Body Shop's Tea Tree Oil</b> is a product which I'm pretty sure everybody has or had in their collection at some point. I've had this staple since I first started breaking out, so basically for as long as I can remember. I apply this using a cotton bud onto my blemishes to dry them. Since I have sensitive skin I make sure to only apply it on the required area so my skin does not get irritated. Remember that it's a very concentrated formula.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Lastly is the very hyped about <b>Mario Badescu Drying Lotion </b>(and also the winner of the shortest product name is this post!). At the beginning of the year everybody was talking about it and so I ended up also trying it out for myself. This product has a pink sediment at the bottom and should not be shaken before applying. All you do it dip a cotton bud that reaches the bottom and than use it on the blemish - double dipping is not advised. I use this before I go to sleep and by the morning the blemish gets smaller in size. Saying that, it does not work on all blemishes and I find that applying it on the angry red ones that have not yet reached the surface, does not really help them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
And that's the end of my current favourite skin care items round up. Obviously, I do not use all of these products everyday and usually pick and choose a few every time. I also have some other skin care bits that I want to share with you in the future. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

As you may have noticed (or not, nobody is judging!), my blog has had a bit of a face lift thanks to Maira Gall on Etsy. I've also been tweaking a bit myself and although there are still some things I would like to fix, I'm really happy with the new look. Let me know what you think!</div>

<a href="https://www.easepieces.com/" target="_blank">Ease Pieces</a> is an online shop that I have been following on Instagram for some time as their pieces are both beautiful and delicately made.

The people over at Ease Pieces were kind enough to send me over two pairs of their earrings for review. The pieces available on their website range from stud to drop to hoop so there's something for everyone. After much deliberation I decided on the <a href="https://www.easepieces.com/product-page/exotic-bicolor-shells-stud-earrings-in-sterling-silver" target="_blank">bicolor shells stud earrings</a> and the <a href="https://www.easepieces.com/product-page/classic-white-oval-simulated-pearl-hoop-earrings" target="_blank">white pearl hoop earrings</a>.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The '<a href="https://www.easepieces.com/product-page/exotic-bicolor-shells-stud-earrings-in-sterling-silver" target="_blank">Exotic Bicolor Shells Stud Earrings</a>' are made of two types of natural shells hanging on a sterling silver studded hoop. I think that they are my favourite out of the two pairs since they can be worn both for everyday and also for going out.</div>

On the other hand the '<a href="https://www.easepieces.com/product-page/classic-white-oval-simulated-pearl-hoop-earrings" target="_blank">Classic White Oval Simulated Pearl Hoop Earrings</a>' are more of a statement pair. The imitation pearls are delicately set in plated alloy that look like drops and hang on to an oval hoop. Whenever I'm looking to add something extra to a look these are the pair to pick up.</div>

Hello! I'm back again with a new review post. At the very beginning of my blog in 2015, I got the chance to collaborate with Happiness Boutique and <a href="https://www.whatsarahwrites.com/2015/07/pretty-daisy-happiness-boutique-review.html" target="_blank">review one of their necklaces</a>. It was one of my first ever collaborations and I remember how excited I was. Now you can imagine what I felt when I saw an email from <a href="https://www.happinessboutique.com/en/necklaces-8" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Happiness Boutique</a> asking me if I wanted to work with them again. Obviously I said yes!</div>

I've recently been loving delicate jewellery, especially pendent necklaces. My collection has been growing little by little but it mostly consists of gold ones. This is why I decided to go for the <a href="https://www.happinessboutique.com/en/necklaces/compass-pendant-necklace-rose-gold-1933" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Rose Gold Compass Pendant Necklace</a>* (€22.90). It consists of a simple cutout compass on a thin chain with tiny N, S, W and E etched into the pendent. There were honestly too many pretty <a href="https://www.happinessboutique.com/en/necklaces-8" target="_blank">necklaces</a> that I couldn't choose between but I felt like this one would be the nicest since I was about to go on holiday. Although it arrived after I came back, it will definitely remind me of my trip! (You can read all about my time at Lake Como in the <a href="https://www.whatsarahwrites.com/2018/08/a-day-at-lake-como.html" target="_blank">previous post</a>)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The necklace came in the lovely Happiness Boutique box wrapped in tissue paper so I will have a nice place to store it. It's rose gold plated and made with stainless steel which means that it will last a long time and won't turn a funny colour when it comes contact with water. Happiness Boutique suggest that if this does happen, a bit of toothpaste will make it look as good as new.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This necklace has been a nice addition to my collection and I've been wearing it a lot lately. I always feel that accessories add the extra something to an outfit and necklaces are definitely my favourite additions. If necklaces aren't your thing you can always opt for on item from the wide range of trending earrings, bracelets and rings. Happiness Boutique also offer free standard delivery in Europe and each package takes less than a week to arrive which means you don't have to wait for long before you can wear your pieces!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

During July, my friends and I headed to the northern Italian city of Milan where we spent a week eating good food, wondering about various cities and also encountering a few hiccups (more on this in posts to come). I will be publishing more posts about the places we visited but for now I will be telling you all about Lake Como as it definitely stood out for me. We visited at the end of our holiday so it was a nice change of landscape from cities to mountains. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
On this day I wore a new dress from <a href="https://www.zaful.com/?lkid=13845147" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Zaful</a>. I'm loving wrap dresses lately and I'm also a little obsessed with yellow so I was immediately drawn to it. It's also really comfortable and light so a perfect choice for summer. You may also remember it from a wishlist I published a few months back. Here are a few other wrap dresses from <a href="https://www.zaful.com/?lkid=13845147" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Zaful</a> you may like:</div>

Varenna</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our trip started from the lake side town of Varenna which is on the middle right side of Lake Como and about 1 hour away by train from Milan. This pretty town has the most amazing views of the lake and the shore is lined with colourful houses and boats. This place is perfect for strolling along the promenade and there are many photo opportunities. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For lunch we ate at Restaurant Olivedo which is opposite the little port of Varenna. There are many restaurants that all boast amazing views so none of the restaurants are a bad option! Also don't forget to finish the meal with an Italian gelato.</div>

Bellagio</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We then headed to the town of Bellagio which is a short ferry ride away from Varenna. This town is found in the middle of the lake and is very popular with tourists. We walked all the way to 'La Punta' which is the edge of Bellagio. Here is a little park were you can sit in the shade of the trees and enjoy the views of the lake and mountains around you. There is also a rocky beach were you can swim if you packed your swimsuit or just dip your feet and cool off from the heat.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Bellagio's centre is also beautiful but we did not visit it and instead stayed in the park all afternoon which was really relaxing.</div>

Lecco</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Our last stop of the day was the town of Lecco which is found at the bottom right of the lake. The ferry from Bellagio took nearly 2 hours and to be honest I slept a good part of the way there. This is not to say that the views from the ferry were not beautiful but I was a bit too tired. When we finally arrived to Lecco we headed straight to a pizza place as we were starving after the long trip. After strolling a bit through the streets we headed to the train station and back to Milan.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Looking back I must say that the long ferry ride to Lecco was a bit too much and a visit to a place in the middle area of the lake would have been better. This does not mean that I enjoyed the day any less and I hope to go back soon. If you're ever in the northern area of Italy, Lake Como is definitely worth a visit.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hello! I have to admit, this is quite a long overdue post I'm writing today. Recently I've been lucky enough to be able to work with <a href="https://www.facebook.com/3INAMalta/" target="_blank">3INA Malta</a> which is a makeup brand that does all kinds of makeup products that are fun, bold and affordable. In April I had the chance to <a href="https://www.whatsarahwrites.com/2018/04/the-3ina-lip-vinyl-review.html" target="_blank">review the lip vinyl collection</a> and I have been trying out some more products since. You may have already seen some of them on my social media but I have never talked about them in-dept until today.</div>

<h3 style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Eyeliner Collection</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The new eyeliner collection consists of 9 eyeliners, all different finishes and moods. I believe that some have been available for a few months but I like that they have come out with a complete collection. I'm quite impressed that they managed to come up with so many different eyeliner tips and finishes. So lets take a bit of an in-dept look at each of the 5 eyeliners I tried out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-086vGvoqo00/W0Clpaw_wkI/AAAAAAAA16s/kXtyaySDjHIKyqNpzjhNXJI5AwnaVL4vACLcBGAs/s1600/OI000187-01.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1201" data-original-width="1600" height="480" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-086vGvoqo00/W0Clpaw_wkI/AAAAAAAA16s/kXtyaySDjHIKyqNpzjhNXJI5AwnaVL4vACLcBGAs/s640/OI000187-01.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>The 2 in 1 Pen Eyeliner</b> // I must say that I was mostly looking forward to trying out this one. One side of the tip is wide and flat while the other is thin and precise as you can see from the swatch above. Felt tip liners are my favourites so I was happy that this one had a little bit of a twist.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>The Glitter Eye Pencil</b> // Not something I would usually go for but I think it's really fun once you try it. The pencil is very creamy and glides on effortlessly while the little specks of glitter add a little extra something.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>The Matte Pen Eyeliner</b> // This is what I would normally pick as I love to do a nice winged liner. It's the best option for when you're running a bit late but still want to look like you have put more effort in your makeup. The felt tip is extra long and skinny which allows you to create a really sharp flick on the first try.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>The Dot Pen Eyeliner</b> // My first thoughts when seeing this liner where "That's so cool but what would I use it for?" I'm not one to experiment that much with my looks but trying new things is a great way to get out of the comfort zone. I think this would look great for a festival makeup look. The only downside that I noticed is that it does bleed a bit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>The Glossy Eye Pencil</b> // Last but not least is the glossy liner. Again, it's really creamy and glides on like the glitter pencil. When it dries it still keeps the glossy finish.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<h3>
The Core Products</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another collection of items I got to try out consisted of a blush, mascara, eyeliner and lipstick. 3INA is known for their bold and fun product colours so I was really interested to see what I can do with the eyeliner and lipstick colours. I created a short makeup tutorial using these products which you can <a href="https://youtu.be/7gRWSE-SHAQ" target="_blank">watch on my YouTube channel</a> or down below.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="font-weight: bold;">The Blush 102</b><b> // </b>The first thing that I ever bought from 3INA when they opened in Malta was the blush which I <a href="https://www.whatsarahwrites.com/search?q=3INA+blush" target="_blank">raved a lot about</a> on this blog and it's still one of my most used in autumn and winter. I love brighter blushes in summer so this blush is perfect for this time of year. It's the best shade when paired with a tan and the blush gives a subtle glow as an added bonus.</div>
<div style="font-weight: bold; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The Eyeliner 509</b> // Now this I was very intrigued about. As I said previously I usually never veer away from my black felt liners, not even brown! I wanted to find a way to incorporate this beautiful and pigmented shimmery jade colour into a makeup look and as you can see below I ended up with a nice ombre winged liner look. It's also very waterproof but that does mean that it's a bit of a pain to remove!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The Build Up Mascara</b> // I had not tried a 3INA mascara yet so I was interested to see what they are like. The build up mascara has a cone shaped wand with synthetic fibres that are densely packed to give volume. I love that it's a true black and voluminous mascara but on the other hand I did feel that it didn't separate my lashes enough and didn't lengthen that much. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The Intense Lipstick 302</b> // Although I don't usually go for pink lipsticks, I love to wear them in the summer. This shade is a beautiful bold pink with a hint of red that is wearable and not at all in your face. It's also one of the creamiest and most hydrating lipsticks I own. Definitely recommend checking out one of the shades if you are looking for a new lipstick.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My favourites out of all these items are definitely the 2 in 1 liner, the matte pen liner, the blush and the lipstick. If you're looking for some new makeup items, head to 3INA to check out these products and more!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hello! Long time no speak (or should I say...write?) The last month or so was quite hectic with exams, assignments and studying to do but I've managed to make it through. I also attended Malta Fashion Week at the end of May which was stressful in its own way but also a fun and exciting experience. The <a href="https://www.whatsarahwrites.com/2018/06/the-mercedes-benz-fashion-week-malta.html" target="_blank">last post I published was in fact all about it</a>, so go on and have a read if you haven't already!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another thing that happened thanks to blogging was getting invited to The Body Shop Malta's VIP summer event where I got to talk to and meet so many bloggers. We had the chance to check out and try the products currently available. The new banana range smells so good! I have been buying products from The Body Shop for the longest time therefore, I was very honoured to be chosen to attend the event! My aunt introduced me to their skincare products one birthday some years ago and I have been growing my collection ever since.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm honestly very grateful that blogging has let me have these opportunities. I never thought I would ever get to work with some amazing brands let alone attend a prestigious event such as fashion week! I'm glad that I decided to focus more on blogging again this year after thinking about stopping for a while.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You may have seen that I've been trying to create more photo content on Instagram, especially on my stories such as photos of my day and makeup/skincare routines. I also decided to try out the new feature on IGTV which you may or may not heard of. It's a new platform on Instagram that allows you to upload short vertical videos. I think that it's a cool concept and I'm interested to see where it's headed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
So I think that's enough about me, let's get into the outfit details.</div>

You may know that I have a thing for jumpsuits and rompers. They are so easy to wear since you can just put one on and you have a whole outfit. Also a bonus is that they will also not let you down after the slightest bit of breeze! This <a href="https://www.zaful.com/striped-surplice-cami-jumpsuit-p_522023.html?lkid=13845147" rel="nofollow" style="text-align: justify;" target="_blank">striped jumpsuit</a><span style="text-align: justify;">* from <a href="https://www.zaful.com/?lkid=13845147" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Zaful</a> is in the prettiest red colour and I'm sure that I will get a lot of wear out of it. To complete the look I added a simple black belt and my favourite pair of black heeled sandals which I wear with nearly every outfit.</span></div>

The past week was a special time for Maltese fashion lovers since the <a href="https://www.fashionweek.com.mt/" target="_blank">Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Malta</a> was held. The event took place in the historic building of Fort St. Elmo located in the capital, Valletta. This year I had the pleasure to be invited to this event and granted a media pass which allowed me to attend and cover the events on my social media. You may have watched my Instagram stories from the days that I attended, but if not you can catch up by watching my MFWA2018 highlight on my <a href="https://www.instagram.com/whatsarahwrites/" target="_blank">Instagram profile</a>. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
This was my first year attending this event so I was really excited about being given this opportunity. Unfortunately, I only managed to attend the launch party, day 2 and day 3 of Malta Fashion Week because it fell right at the start of exams week. Despite this, I still enjoyed my experience and tried to make the best of the time I had available. In this post I have put my favourite photos I took of the shows and presentations I saw during these two days. I hope that you like it!</div>

Yana Azzopardi is a self-though jewellery designer who creates bespoke costume pieces. Her collection was featured in Brick Lane, London and she now has opened two shops in Malta. This collection was inspired by the art of Flamenco which is a Spanish dance and incorporates Spanish inspired patterns.</div>

College of Fashion. This presentation included bikinis, swimsuits and also beach cover ups. The prints were inspired by Maltese coins and the colours from vibrant underwater reefs. The same details of satin purple rose gold chains were included in all the pieces to create a similar look. </div>

The final show of the night was brought to us by Marco Parascandalo for Parascandalo with his collection titled, .S.T.A.R. These street wear pieces, both for men and women, are ready to wear. He "integrates aspects of Maltese culture, politics and environmental issues into his pieces to produce a very modern mélange, the ultimate social commentary in motion." I love how he puts together lots of different materials and colours to create his collection.</div>

The first show that I attended from day 3 was that of AB Headpieces by Adalia presenting Peacock's Pride. Adalia creates hat pieces that range from bridal to statement pieces aimed for photoshoots. All the headpieces were beautifully hand crafted with an attention to detail and perfectly matched to the outfits that were also stunning. </div>

Gaetano's show 'Legacy' "inspired by old Hollywood
glamour and fashion icon legends" was definitely a stand out from other presentations. Between the short movie introduction, stunning dresses, singing, dancing and the special guest appearances from singer Claudia Faniello and actress Taryn Mamo Cefai, it was definitely a show to remember. The dresses were all show stoppers.</div>

Hello! How are you doing today? Recently I've been purchasing more makeup than usual, probably because I've been spending a lot of time on Instagram and following more beauty accounts. they do really leave an influence on you! Today I'm going to show you all the products I've bought and giving my honest review on them.</div>

Wet & Wild Lash Regenerate Mascara</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
While browsing at a local shop last week, I saw that Wet & Wild had an offer for a free eyeliner with this mascara so I decided to pick them up. I had been meaning to try some things from this brand as they had only recently been made available where I live.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The first thing that drew me to this mascara was the bottle. I love how it does not look like the average mascara bottle but instead it has the pointed sides. Now on the the actual mascara. I was quite surprised when I saw the wand as I'm pretty sure I've never seen anything like it. The round part promises to add "volume with precision and control" while the bottom part promises to create "definition with increased length and curl". I found that the round part helps to reach the small inner lashes which is something that I like. This mascara also doesn't clump and adds a lot of length an volume. I would definitely recommend picking this up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Wet & Wild Black Kohl Eyeliner</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Kohl liners are something that I haven't used for a long time. When I first started wearing makeup I only bought kohl but eventually I found out about liquid and felt liners and I stopped using them. I was interested to see what I think about kohl liners after all this time and the fact that it came free didn't hurt. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
It is a pigmented black eyeliner and it's also very creamy to apply. This is something that I look for in eyeliners as I don't want to drag the skin around my eyes. It also has a great staying power so it's not one that you can remove with just one swipe of makeup remover. Although it's a very nice eyeliner, I still prefer my liquid ones as I feel like they create a better wing. But if you are a fan of pencil liners, then this one is for you. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
New Look Mattifying Makeup Primer</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
While browsing in New Look I saw that they were having a sale on their beauty items so I decided to pick up this primer. Summer is coming closer and the heat it brings doesn't do well with my makeup on my already oily skin. I had only ever tried a sample of a primer so I wanted to see if it helps to keep my makeup in place. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Unfortunately, I did not have a positive experience with this product. It's very liquidy and takes forever to dry. Once it dries it still feels very oily and looks shiny on my skin. It promises to be mattifying. What I don't understand is that when I apply it on my hand it absorbs immediately and goes completely matte. This has led me to believe that it works better on dryer skin as opposed to those with oily skin like me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The Body Shop All-In-One 5-Action Perfector InstaBlur</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
After having a not so nice experience with the New Look primer I decided to pick up The Body Shop primer. Many people had been recommending this so I knew I would have a better chance at liking it. The primer promises to be shine-controlling, blemish-hiding, pore-concealing, complexion-perfector that delivers picture-perfect skin. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
At first it looks crumbly but once blended it goes velvety smooth. This primer dries instantly and doesn't feel oily or slimey. It also makes my skin feel so smooth and soft. The difference I noticed the most was that it kept my face matte and my t zone only started to get slightly shiny at the end of the day. It also helps to minimize my pores and helps the foundation to stay on.</div>

The Body Shop Matte Clay Skin Clarifying Foundation</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As I said on my Instagram, I had been mostly using the Rimmel Lasting Finish foundation for the last few year so I wanted to try something new. I was looking for a foundation that wasn't too heavy and was mattifying, and I think that I have found exactly what I was looking for. This foundation claims to have a matte high coverage, long wear, shine control, breathable wear and doesn't clog pores while promoting clearer looking skin. It contains mattifying clay and purifying tea tree.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At the moment my skin is going through a rough time and it's breaking out in every corner, so I like the sound of the properties it premises. I haven't seen any improvements yet but I'm loving the foundation. It feels very comfortable and light on my skin. It also stays matte all day long, with or without the primer. It's definitely the longest lasting foundation that I've tried so far. The first application is not as full coverage but it is easy to build up to a fuller coverage. Although it doesn't hide all of my acne it still hides most of the redness and discoloration. If you are looking for a new foundation definitely give this one a go.</div>

I don't know about you, but I've been loving yellow lately. Something about it just makes me feel happy. While browsing on <a href="https://www.zaful.com/?lkid=13845147" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Zaful</a>, I noticed a lot of yellow items of clothes and accessories that I loved and decided to share them with you.<br />

Previously, I have both bought from and collaborated with <a href="https://www.zaful.com/promotion-72h-flash-sale-special-350.html?innerid=167?lkid=13845147" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Zaful</a> and I've always had a positive experience. All the items they have available are both on trend and inexpensive (something I'm a fan of). They also continuously add new arrivals so there's always something new to shop.<br />
<br />
The weather here in Malta just went from dull and windy to super hot and sunny in a week so I'm starting to take out my summer clothes. But this also makes me want to buy some new things so I rounded up some which I would like to add to my wardrobe. All the items below are perfect for the Spring and Summer months and I hope you like them as much as I do. How cute are the polka dot dress and the pineapple bag tho?</div>

For the past few years I have mostly worn matte lip products but I've been noticing the comeback of the lip gloss. At first I was unsure but as time went by I became more interested in them. Luckily I didn't have to wait too long as I was given the opportunity to try out the new 3INA Lip Vinyl.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The 3INA Lip Vinyl comes in 8 different shades and have a similar consistency to a lip gloss. It "provides smooth, glide-on vinyl shine and rich, bright color. Cushiony application and non-stick formula gives a feather-light weightlessness that lasts all day."<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
First of all, I have to say that the packaging looks gorgeous. I have always been a fan of 3INA's minimalistic yet eye catching look and they didn't disappoint with these ones. The product itself comes in a tube and has a doe foot applicator. It's smaller than what I'm used to but this also means that the application is much cleaner since you have more control over it. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As I just mentioned, it has the consistency of a lip gloss. It doesn't feel sticky or heavy on the lips which is not how I remember the lip glosses that I used to wear so I'm really happy about that. The lip vinyl is quite pigmented but at the same time allows your natural lip colour to come through.<br />

The four <a href="https://3ina.com/mt_en/the-lip-vinyl-2828" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">3INA Lip Vinyl</a>* shades I got to try out are so beautiful and are ones I would have picked for myself. The shade 700 is a transparent gloss that can either be worn by itself for a 'no-makeup makeup' look or as a top coat on any lipstick for an instant glossy look. For a 'my lips but better' effect, there is the number 701 which is a nice nude with a hint of pink. The shade 702 is a lovely pink and red colour that is perfect for summer. My personal favourite has to be shade 705. It's a brown colour with a hint of red that is very 90's and very up my street.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, the photos below seem to have not picked up the colours properly and made some look similar but the hand swatches above are more accurate in shade. </div>

I'm really happy with the 3INA Lip Vinyl and would definitely recommend everyone to try them out. They retail for €9.95 and you can find them both <a href="https://3ina.com/mt_en/the-lip-vinyl-2828" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">online</a> or in a store near you. The stores in Malta are located at The Point in Sliema, Pama in Mosta, next to Kiabi in Qormi and in Energy Complex,Valletta.<br />
<br />
Once again I would like to thank 3INA Malta for giving me this opportunity to try out and review their new collection.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have you tried out the 3INA Lip Vinyls yet?</div>

How is everybody doing? I haven't sat down and wrote whatever came to my mind in a while. In fact, in <a href="https://www.whatsarahwrites.com/2017/10/sunday-catch-up.html">the last catch up</a> I was still excited about starting university and autumn had just started. So it's about time I did another update. (I also didn't want to just plonk a few photos of myself so decided to take this as an opportunity to write a bit of a longer post)</div>

I took quite a few breaks from blogging in the last months, as you can probably tell from the lack of activity on here. I was just not feeling like myself and decided it would be better to step away for a while than upload crappy content. At one point I thought that I would just stop as I felt like this blogging thing wasn't made for me. But during the Easter holidays I found myself having more time than usual and I thought I would give this another try. Since then I have been uploading constantly and I'm having so much fun doing it. I had forgotten how much I actually enjoyed taking photos and writing!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
This time I have taken a bit of a different stance to blogging as I have been focusing more on my social media, mainly <a href="https://www.instagram.com/whatsarahwrites/" target="_blank">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/whatsarahwrites/" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, which I update nearly everyday. My accounts managed to reach 2000 and 900 followers respectively in the last weeks so it gave me a bit of a positive boost and motivation to keep going! Thank you again and if you don't follow yet, feel free to do so. </div>

This does not mean that I'm abandoning my blog at all. Since the start of this blog nearly 4 (!!) years ago, it has gone through many ups and downs but I could never have the heart to just stop! I have decided to stick to one blog post per week so I can have time to create a proper post and still have time for other things in my life.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Another thing that I decided to update was the newsletter services. The previous service was quite old looking to I decided to transfer it over to Mail chimp which looks much nicer. <a href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmailchi.mp%2F066e2b942b39%2Fp5rp5binn8&h=ATNnuqz2cRhJyzKiip9VE5U8A5HgkHGNMPLjSYskJStRL0jknqDJS4LGXzFCHJmHfmw7U1fayg3Ba2P84B9EKHQw6cE8SuRa57ROPu3WL4gFFx7zDkJPBs00XaDceF5tkYy5e0VJUQ" target="_blank">Click here</a>, if you would like to receive a weekly newsletter of my latest content right in your inbox.</div>

Today's outfit consists of these mom jeans I've been loving. Never thought that I would like anything apart from skinnies but these are so comfortable! The shirt looks really nice with these jeans and gives a bit of a professional vibe to the somewhat casual look. Since the weather has warmed up a bit I can now take out my loafers again. Although I do need a new pair because these ones look a bit battered. I finished the look with some accessories that I impulse purchased lately. But hey, they look cute. I also like to think that these sunglasses make me look cooler than I actually am (probably not).</div>

Hope everyone is having a great Sunday and had a great Easter break last week! In today's post, I'm sharing some of my recent favourite products. This is similar to the <a href="https://www.whatsarahwrites.com/search/label/favourites?max-results=9" target="_blank">monthly favourites</a> that I used to do but it's now too late in the month for that, hence the different name. </div>

Kiko Luxurious Lashes extra volume brush mascara</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
First up is this mascara from Kiko that I bought while in London last February. This mascara gives length to my lashes without going being clumpy so it's a great everyday mascara. I much prefer plastic bristles like this one has as I feel that they give a better effect and they also coat the baby hairs better which creates a fuller look.</div>

Antonio Banderas Queen of Seduction perfume</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The second favourite is the Antonio Banderas perfume. I received this as a Christmas present and it also came with a body lotion which I shared yesterday on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BhRtLq3jqD7/?taken-by=whatsarahwrites" target="_blank">my Instagram</a>. It smells fruity and fresh so it's great as an everyday perfume for Spring or Summer. I love this scent and it's quickly replacing The Body Shop's Japanese cherry blossom perfume which was my favourite this time last year. </div>

Primark Nudes Matte & Gloss Collection</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Next up are these Primark lip duo which I also bought while I was in London. They actually came in a set of four but I didn't like the other two as they were too light for my skin tone and I'm not that tan. This had me asking, are concealer lips coming back in?! But on the other hand, I loved the high shime lipgloss and matte lip cream. The matte doesn't dry out my lips and it's easy to apply. The shimmery lipgloss is not something I expected to like but I think it looks great in the centre of the lips or even mixed in with another lipstick to create a metallic look. Unfortunately, they don't have a specific name but I believe you can also find them individually which I would recommend getting.</div>

Essence Get Picture Ready Long-lasting compact</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Last up is this Essence compact foundation that I have been loving as you can probably tell. You may remember that I featured this last December in an <a href="https://www.whatsarahwrites.com/2017/12/is-essence-omg-makeup-buffet-worth-it.html" target="_blank">Essence Makeup Buffet haul and review</a> post. I had not previously used any foundations apart from liquid ones so I was quite surprised by this product. I found that it's best to apply it using my fingers as it gives a very natural application. It works really well as both an all over foundation, under eye concealer and covers blemishes really well. I love that it also comes with a mirror and a sponge which I use at the end to smooth everything out. </div>

Here is a look that I created using the makeup products mentioned above. As you can see, they all look really natural when applied and the foundation managed to cover nearly all of the blemishes apart from a few pesky ones. </div>

As promised, although a month late, here is my London photo diary! I have already shared a <a href="http://www.whatsarahwrites.com/2018/03/london-weekend-guide.html" target="_blank">London Weekend Guide</a> which seems to have gone down quite well, so feel free to check it out if you haven't already. </div>

In case you didn't know, my mum and I went for a short weekend break to London at the end of February. In this post, I'm going to share what we did and the photos I took. Maybe this will give you some ideas on what to do if you visit London (which I highly suggest doing).</div>

Day 1</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After arriving at the hotel at midday, my mum and I decided to go for a walk around the area and grab some lunch. Our hotel gave us a complimentary meal at one of its restaurants and we chose Bloom & Willow. Everything was delicious and I loved the cosy atmosphere.</div>

Afterwards, we headed to St. Paul's Cathedral. We used Get Your Guide to get a discount on our tickets and I can't recommend it enough. St Paul's cathedral was definitely the highlight of the holiday. Unfortunately, you can't take photos inside but I still managed to take a lot from the top and around it. If we were allowed to take photos inside, I could have dedicated a whole post to it. It's breathtaking both inside and outside! Also, the stairs to the dome may seem a bit intimidating but they are totally worth it.</div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">I spied a Topshop from the dome, so we headed out to find it when we were done from seeing the cathedral. After finding (and purchasing) from Topshop we headed to the Millennium bridge and walked to the other side. It was absolutely freezing on the bridge and I don't think that I've ever felt that cold!</span></div>

Straight after buying a coffee to warm up, we took the bus to Trafalgar square and wandered around for a bit before The Phantom of the Opera started. I loved this musical and if you ever get the chance to see it definitely do!</div>

Day 2</h2>

We first headed to Hyde Park which was lovely to walk in during the morning. After passing by Buckingham Palace (because it's a must!), we went strolling in St James' Park. </div>

Next up was Westminster Abbey. We also bought our entrance tickets from <i>Get Your Guide</i> for a discount on the price. Westminster is beautiful, especially the inner altar area and has such a huge ground area. </div>

After seeing all of Westminster, we decided to go for a walk along the river bank. This wasn't the best idea as we were already tired but we did manage to see a lot of sights. </div>

We then headed to Covent Garden which was such a lovely place. It was Saturday so it was a bit too busy but there was a lot going on. The pho I had at Pho was the best thing to warm us as it was so cold!</div>

By this point, we should have headed back to the hotel to have a rest but instead we went to Kensington. This was a bit of a mistake as we were a bit too tired to enjoy the rest of the evening! We went to the Victoria & Albert Museum, passed by the Royal Abert Hall and even managed to walk by Kensington Palace at sunset.</div>

Day 3</h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This was our last day in London but we were determined to do everything we still had on our list. We first headed to the British Museum which is free entry. The building is so beautiful. I love the interior circular courtyard with the skylights and since it was sunny the room was filled with sunlight.</div>

No trip to London is complete without a visit to Oxford Street! Since we didn't have that much time we only went to Primark but as you can see from the photo below, we did do quite a bit of damage!</div>

Since we still had some time to kill, we got some lunch at Wasabi next to Primark and then walked through Leicester Square, went into M&M World and ended up in Picadilly Circus.</div>

Adding further to my last post, I'm longing for Spring weather and the weather is still all over the place. Just this morning my friends and I went for a walk, and half way through it started to rain. After getting soaked we had to go back home and resorted to curling up in a warm blanket and watched Narnia!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Weather talk aside, a few months ago I met up with the lovely Intan Galistri after having a chat on Instagram (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/intangalistri/" target="_blank">@intangalistri</a>). Intan is an Indonesian visual artist currently living in Malta who creates beautiful and intricate accessories such as pendants, necklaces and earrings. Besides making hand made accessories, she also paints and draws, mostly working with the human figure. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Intan gifted me these two gorgeous handmade chokers to feature on What Sarah Writes. The two chokers were packaged in a pretty blue box and wrapped inside a gold pouch. Both chokers have a unique handmade pendant hanging on a ribbon, one sparkly white and another on purple lace. </div>

I was very impressed when I opened up the boxes to see the chokers. As you can see from the photos, the pendants are definitely a show stopper and they are so intricately made. The faces seem lifelike, almost like they are taking a nap! The daisies around the faces and the gold details all add to make the pendants even more beautiful. I'm so in love with these chokers and I think that they are perfect to wear during spring. The flowers really give off a sunny and warm feel!</div>

We are the point where we're Spring has just started and we are fed up with wearing your winter clothes. Unfortunately, the weather is still not agreeing with our plans and we have to keep our t-shirts and dresses in the wardrobe until the rain decides to stop. But...this doesn't have to stop us from doing a bit of Springtime shopping!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://www.yoins.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Yoins</a> is an online retail shop that has a range of affordable clothes and accessories to choose from. There is a great range of lovely <a href="https://www.yoins.com/Yoins-T-shirts-c-3394.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">fashion t shirts online</a> and <a href="http://style.yoins.com/hottest-holiday-party-dresses-2018/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">party dresses</a> to get you in the holiday mood. For today's post, I picked some items from Yoins that I feel like everyone should have as a Spring-time staple.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Stripe-y t-shirts are easy to wear and look great with nearly everything, especially when styled with a pair of jeans and trainers. A lot of people might not agree with me on this one but I'm pretty sure that mom jeans are the new skinny jeans. They are so much more comfortable than regular skinny jeans and that for me is a winning factor. A sweatshirt is perfect for when you want to wear something comfy yet not look like you're wearing PJs! When you're feeling a bit fancier, why not put on a nice collared shirt or maybe a dress? Yoins have a nice selection of <a href="https://www.yoins.com/Yoins-DRESSES-c-3217.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">fashion dresses</a>. This dress is perfect for when it's still a bit chilly but still want to feel the Spring air. Obviously, don't forget to finish off your outfits with a denim jacket or bomber jacket.</div>
