<br />
And I thought to myself, well.. I am turning 25 in a year, I need to make a list. (to be exact, it will be in 2 years time just because I was born in November). Ha.<br />
<br />
The reason behind why everyone need a list is just purely because of the amazing feeling of satisfaction when you accomplished something.<br />
<br />
So let's just go ahead with this shall we? Lyn's things to do before 25 :)<br />
<br />
<b>1) Talk smart</b><br />
When I say talk smart, it's just a note to myself for not talking like a 5 year old all the time. As a 25 year old I think it is important for myself, or just anyone to understand how to 'talk smart' in a professional environment/socializing. Basically not being an idiot.<br />
<br />
<b>2) Save, save..save.</b><br />
I would say it is crucial for anyone to have savings. Especially when you are turning 25, it is not really a smart thing to do to spend your weekly wages every weekend on partying or clothes (although it is very tempting). If you are a shopaholic like me that can't resist the slightest temptation, budget. Budget your expenses and open a new bank account purely for your savings. Bank all your monthly savings in there and use your remaining income to indulge in anything you like. (Of course I don't mean save $1 a month, that's just pointless)<br />
Therefore you still have a stable amount of savings each month but not spending all your money on unnecessary things. Unless your bra has a hole in it, I strongly suggest you get a new one. :p<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>3) Blog/Vlog more often</b><br />
I'm not sure if I am actually getting older, or I have the shortest memory.<br />
If I had to remember what I was doing this time 2 years ago, I do not have a single clue. Especially when you're in your 20's, things are always exciting. These are the years where you learn, fail, achieve the most you probably will in your lifetime, which is definitely worth looking back to. It's never too late to start recording things down, or if you are not a fan of blogging, May I suggest diary?<br />
<br />
<b>4) Contribute back to the Society</b><br />
I have been following Humans of New York (HONY) for quite some time now. I swear I teared up every single time whenever I read the posts. How Brandon captured the most beautiful/painful moments of someone in the picture just gets to me. I want to stop complaining about my life but to give back something to the society when I can. It bothers me a little when I know I can't do that just yet. This is definitely something I want to be able to do comfortably before I turn 25, and from then onward for the rest of my life. I believe that's what everyone should do as well. Especially if you are reading this blog post..we are fortunate enough to own a computer.<br />
<br />
<b>5) Start Cooking/Improving your culinary skills</b><br />
As per our point 2, eating out is probably the most expensive daily expense here in Australia. Therefore I have started cooking more often. Not a good cook but you know, it's edible. And I like to decorate my dinner plates every time if I'm not too lazy (Instagram opportunity right there). Plus it saves up a lot of money. I think I only spent less than $50 every week on groceries, which is definitely affordable for anyone. If you're not sure how/what to cook, go on YouTube or Pinterest. Not your ordinary cookbook, but definitely works! If you love your cocktails, maybe start learning how to make your favourite Margarita as well?<br />
<br />
<b>6) Start sending Thank You cards</b><br />
I read this on the blog post I've linked and I believe this is something we should definitely start doing early. I actually got this idea from a conference I went last year about entrepreneurship. The lady that was giving the talk (I do not remember her name, but she was awesome) talked about the importance of sending out Thank You cards after doing business together with someone, when someone did you a favour or just simply thanking the person for being a great human being! :) She also listed out reasons why it's important. One of the main reason was, people appreciate it when you take some time out from your busy schedule to write a card for them. It's those small little things that matters.<br />
<br />
That's all I can think of right now. I've only got a year to accomplish all these and time is ticking. What are your goals before you reach a certain age, if not, let's do this together! x<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I was in Melbourne for Boxing Day, I had a slight obsession with white comfy pants (maybe that was a bit of an understatement, I was obsessed in trying to find that particular item in every store)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I finally found one that fits me in Zara (probably the fifth visit on the trip). It was a size bigger than what I would normally wear, didn't think it would look nice on me. BUT it did. I paid at the counter with excitement & I can sense my boyfriend's relief for the end of 'treasure hunting for white comfy pants'. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I believe that everyone has the same obsession. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I remembered last year during winter for me was hunting for a black puffy vest. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What about you? Do you have any crazy obsession of something that you have to own and you have been going on 'a hunt' for it? </div>

<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have been watching a lot of YouTube videos lately and have been loving <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZkC6c09THmvObl1T3pQJjg">Alex from HRH Collection</a>. She's been updating her vlog quite frequently these days & I get so inspired to decorate my house like hers each and every time I watch her video. For those that doesn't know who she is, Alex is also a successful business lady that sells handmade jewelry online. She has a HRH clothing line now too! Ah, my dream. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br />
So I thought, I need to get organized. And to start with that I am going to make my house a place I love so much whenever I get home after work (also I've recently extended my lease contract for another year. Go me!)</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Started with this cute design on my living room table. I found this gem - Gold Pineapple Jar from Target for only $15, it also comes with pineapple gummies, score!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The three colourful balls are the EOS lip balms I found at Costco the other day, it was like an unexpected and the loveliest surprise. The mint green container is actually a Laduree macaroon container that I kept because it is honestly too pretty to be chucked in the bin. That's just cruel. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Paired it off with some cute flower headbands I got for free at a party, & placed them on top on a pink candle pot from Target that does not smell nice, at all. I bought it solely for decoration (dedication). :)</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In case anyone of you are wondering, the book is Not that kind of girl by Lena Dunham. I have not started reading it yet, I have been telling myself I should stop slacking (that was a month ago).</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, this is what I have been doing recently. I am going to come up with a whole list of new year's resoultions just like everyone else. And make sure I stick to it. </div>

As a few of you might know, I used to own a blogshop while I was in Malaysia, shared with my friend Joo. We ran a quite successful little shop I would say, but everything was a bit here and there, we were not that great in organizing.<br />
<br />
<i>Three years &spent endless amount of money on shopping later.......</i><br />
<br />
I have launched a new online boutique here in Adelaide myself called 10 Points for Chic.<br />
I figured, I was asked quite frequently where do I get my outfits, why don't I share it with everyone? (that way I can get more outfits for myself, jk)<br />
Another main reason, I never like to spend to much on online boutiques, because you never know the quality and how it fits on your body, I have had bad experiences with some online shops with horrendous looking items that look totally different from the photos online.<br />
<br />
This is also why I don't sell things that I do not believe they are worth the price for, I am picky like that. Everything in my shop costs less than $50, and better yet, they are all guaranteed good quality pieces.<br />
<br />
Okay after a whole lot of rambling, here are some photos from the recent collection. I've only started this precisely 2 months ago. Still trying to learn, so bear with me guys...if the website is not functioning properly. I'm definitely working on it. :p<br />
<br />
My lovely friend from work Jacinta agreed to be my model, thanks to her the photos all turned out so amazingly gorgeous! Enjoy the photos...and if you like any of the items, please visit www.10pointsforchic.com for more.<br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I am now sitting on a desk with a monitor facing me at least 7 hours a day. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Truth be told, I kind of like my job. I never imagined I could stand the fact that sitting on a chair for more than 2 hours per day(ok that's kind of an exaggeration), which is why I went into <span style="background-color: white;">sales</span> once I graduated. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I thought that was my lifelong goal. <i>To be a wonderful...amazing salesperson</i>. Yes laugh all you want. You must be thinking, I graduated with an Commerce degree and I want to work in sales? Are you out of your mind? Well at least that was what everyone around had been asking me. </span><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I realized not a lot of us, the fresh graduates, know what we want in life. I have been saying I wanted to be an accountant because I was studying an Accounting...how convenient, right? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Let's get back to the topic. The <b>main reason</b> I went into sales was because I applied for 10 jobs and this was the only one that called me back. I went for the interview the next day and they wanted me to start on Saturday. Well for a person that has never worked or got a proper job in Australia....hell yeah! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I was so nervous on my first day, I didn't know what to expect. The site was at least 30 mins drive from the city, which is far, for me. I didn't own a car back then. My site leader was 18 years old, I was 22 (still am now). I know I am being narcissistic but she likes <i>One Direction</i>, and I had to take orders from her....Imagine my excitement. Anyway,they asked me if I have approached strangers before and taught me the skills. It was daunting at first, but I made my first few sales within the three hours of my so called observation day. They were happy with me so I got a called back for the orientation. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Again, I didn't know what to expect. They told me the pay was<i> performance based.</i> "<i><b>If you work harder, money flows in quicker."</b></i> My family and friends weren't sure if that was the job I should be doing, but I was so excited and didn't care about the pay because I feel like someone finally appreciate me for what I do. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Every morning, your name gets mentioned if you did well, the team will cheer and applause for your achievement. I was looking forward to that everyday, I guess I needed the reassurance that I have some skills in life. The job's turnover rate is so high I honestly didn't know who was still in the team and who weren't. And yet I was still there, after 4 months (just so you know, 4 months is consider 'long term' in that company). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>To give you an overview of my four months</b>:</span><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I got promoted to leadership, I earned $0 working a whole day, I high rolled the team, I was the worst performer in the team, I cried because of stress, I was so happy with my achievement, I stayed late even though everyone else had left for that one last sale. I feel like in the past 4 months, I have learnt so much that other would never come across in an office environment.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></i>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">What I was trying to say is that, I have learned perseverance and I know hard work actually pays off. I even get to learn how to manage a team. I was a mentor to other team members. I was in charge and I gained respect for my results. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">When I look back, it really was a tough job, but it was worth it. I have never regret any decision I had made because it helps me built my strength and perspective in life.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Friends around me have been telling me, <i>"Oh wow you're one of the annoying ones", or "You only get paid if you make sales?!" or "I would never take that job if I were you". </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">What they were missing out was that, I didn't stay for that job because I needed the money, I wanted the experience (Earning $27 per day would be one of the obvious reasons). I wanted to be ahead of others and show them what I have learnt in months but they couldn't in years. I see that as an investment in myself, I get paid and I learned loads, why not? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My family and my boyfriend have been nothing but supportive with every decision I made, as long as I am working towards my goal. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I hope you would find something beneficial from this blog post. :)</span><br />

Went to the Gilles Street Market today. I wasn't suppose to go shopping because I am trying to save up money for my end of the year trip. But they have too many nice cheap finds, its ridiculous! ....so i spent all the cash I brought. I felt really guilty but they were REALLY cute, and everything is under $10, which is cray cray. </div>
<div>

<div>
Here are the things I've bought today. </div>

I miss blogging, but I've been so caught up with uni works and job recently. Oh and I spent my last weekend in Sydney for our anniversary, the most memorable weekend ever.<br />
I've got a bad infection on my eyelid during the trip and it was swollen like the size of a bee sting on my right eye. My boyfriend was really understanding (he should be :p) throughout the trip and it got less swollen day by day and it was almost diminished by Monday, which is the date of our anniversary. I was lucky I guess, and good thing my fringe was right parting so I could cover my eyes using my hair during the days.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am never really a lipstick person. Yes I do own a few lipsticks but never could find a favourite one that actually suits me. I've always wanted a bright red/pink/coral lip color but I still couldn't find any that I love. And I'm sure I'm not the only person that is facing the same problem. Good thing I found the <i>Dior Addict Lip Glow</i>, it acts like a tinted lip balm that enhances your natural lip colour. I am already using my third one so far, as you can see how much I love it. ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I mentioned I owned a few lipsticks, but I rarely use them. Why? I have no idea, I guess I'm just not confident enough to wear them out. I have always admire the girls that wears bright lipstick out for different occasions, I just couldn't. So I decided to try something new, and well since Priceline was having a massive sale, I went and bought the <i>Maybelline Colour Whisper in no. 45</i>. It's like a red colour that is in the middle of orange and pink. I spent like 30 mins trying on different shades on my hands and finally decided on that colour. To be honest, I chose that one because it has only one left at the counter. It's a natural human instinct okay? :p Another colour is <i>YSL Rouge Volupte.</i> I bought this last year after exams as a gift to myself. Because of my love for hot pink, I insisted to get a pink shade. I tried it and thought it looked nice, I don't know if it's the counter lady's non stop praising or just me, I bought it right away. And I've only worn it less than 5 times. Great. even though I love the texture, I just didn't really have the confidence to wear it out. :( </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Other lip colours are the normal ones, like a light coral shade, nude coral, yes I love coral. Because my skin tone goes with coral better than pink. :) </div>

Last month after my finals, I wanted to pamper myself so I wanted to get a hair makeover. I didn't want to change too much this time because the last time I chopped my long hair off into a short bob. Yes I did it without much thinking, I wonder why I was so impulsive back then. I've always admired Jessica Alba & Jennifer Aniston's highlights because they both have medium hair length and a slightly tanner skin tone. So I went on pinterest and pinned tons of hair pictures and brought it to the hair saloon with me. Seeing as I have never been to a hair salon in Adelaide before, (yes I've been here for two years and I never get my hair done at all, fascinating or what?) I googled hair salons in Adelaide and did some research. BUT, I didn't went to any of that because all of them were full and I was so anxious I couldn't wait any longer. So I went to Rundle Mall and walked into every possible hair salon I can find to enquire. And I was quite happy with one of the place I found, because the hairstylist completely understood what I want and explained thoroughly the process of what she's planning to do. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyway, I made an appointment for the next day and completely in love with the results! Plus she blow dried my hair so it was so bouncy I felt like a princess. :p</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But few of my friends reckoned the caramel highlights was too gold on me. And now I was thinking to re-dye it again with a darker colour. Some other friends thought it looks nice so now I'm in a dilemma state. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Do you think this suits me? I need opinions. Gah</div>

A very brief outfit post. Just wanted to share my new found love for navy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It all started out from here... So that day I was looking at my wardrobe and realized navy has been my 'color' without even noticing it. I kept buying navy color items and I thought pink or black was my favourite. Ha, I guess not now. :p</div>

It has colorful linings overall the blazer, too cute! Click in the link and you'll see more details from the site. I paired it with my Tommy Hilfiger knitted cable top (my absolute favourite, I wish I have the whole range of colours!) and a white collar top to go for a semi casual look. </div>

Well unless it's traveling to some place that's boring and you were forced to go, can't blame you for that. :p<br />
I'm currently saving up money for my end of the year trip to Japan. I went there last year and love there so much.<br />
So I've decided to go again this year, this time is different, I'm going to ski, for the very first time. And because my boyfriend loves skiing in Japan. So yes, Japan it is. As all of you that have ski before you'll know the ski package is not cheap, especially for us uni students. :( We're also planning a trip to Thailand because we went Thailand last year too and love Bangkok so much! The shopping was crazy. But due to my budget, we had to skip Bangkok this year. BOOOOOOOOO.<br />
So I have calculated my finance and budget my spending for these four months until December. I've come up with 3 very effective ways to save money, and for a shopaholic like me, it's torturing.<br />
<br />
<h4>
<b><span style="color: magenta;">1. Don't eat out. </span></b></h4>
This might be hard for those that don't like to cook and wash up, like me. But it does save a lot if you actually make the calculations. Say to cook spaghetti bolognese, it'll costs $20 for you to buy the ingredients (meat, pasta, sauce) and the amount can lasts you for at least 3 meals! If you order a plate of spaghetti bolognese in a restaurant, it'll costs you about $15AUD. You do the math.<br />
<br />
<h4>
<b><span style="color: magenta;">2. Only buy what you need, not what you want. </span></b></h4>
By that I meant what you need is toothpaste, sanitary pad, contact lens solution, toilet paper etc.. What you want is the new top on display in Bardot, or the new eyeshadow quad by Chanel. You can buy those when you're traveling, or after you travel. What if you found something nicer out there?<br />
<br />
<h4>
<b><span style="color: magenta;">3. Sell off things that you don't need </span></b></h4>
Storing things that you never wear or use is leading you one step nearer to become a hoarder. And you can earn quick cash too! What's more to say? Take myself for an example, I have always been lazy to sell my uni textbooks after every semester. But now I realized I needed extra cash so I cleared up my bookshelf and sell off all my books at once. I wonder why I've never done that before. You've got to have motivation sometimes I guess.<br />
<br />
If you follow these steps properly, and also keep track on your finances regularly, you'll definitely have enough money to go traveling! (& please remember what I meant by that is those places that are within your budget) :) Happy traveling!<br />
<br />
Here's some pictures of Japan, can't wait to go back!<br />

Firstly, let me warn you, it's not cheap...else I would've bought it already. :p This coat is like the perfect coat I have been imagined. Too bad it's way out of my budget. If you can afford it, please get it! It's a staple item in every women's wardrobe and I doubt you can't find anything to match with it in your whole closet!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As we see that the coat is way overpriced, I found some similar ones and they're all within <b>$150 AUD.</b> </div>

The only difference between this and Vince's is the buttons! If you can choose to ignore the buttons, ignore it! I personally didn't really like buttons so I always leave my coats unbuttoned. Sometimes I think it looks more stylish because I wanted to show what I'm wearing underneath. Or else what's the point in wasting our time matching outfits with our coats if we're buttoning up anyway? :) </div>

Another favourite part of my room. I got this wall hanger for only $10 at Kmart and didn't want to ruin its prettiness by hanging my jeans on it. So, I put my necklaces to good use. :)</div>

So I've almost ran out of my Helena Rubenstein mascara. Unless you have never heard of it, its a very high rated mascara in the market and girls went crazy for it. I have a friend that bought 5 sets at once which I thought its pretty insane. I really like it but not love, not at that stage. :p It was quite pricey for a mascara but it works well on me so never really look for another substitute. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My boyfriend knew that I'm running out of my HR mascara and he got this lovely <b><span style="color: magenta;">Love Alpha mascara</span> </b>from our friend in Hongkong. She said she couldn't really tell the difference between this and HR's. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I got it, I gave it a try. It came with a small how-to guide but only in chinese, too bad for the non-chinese readers out there. But it's still comprehensible by the step by step pictures on it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At first I thought it wouldn't be as good as HR, as I've never heard of it and it just looks like a replica version of HR. The packaging was really cute, it came with a small leopard print box that I almost thought my boyfriend got me a pair of glasses.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The natural fiber & Transplanting gel. The fibre has loose fibre that will lengthen your lashes instantly but remember to top it with the transplanting gel. Or else your face will have loose fibre on it and it'll ruin your make up base. Bad bad bad.. Trust me you wouldn't want that. My friend was complaining about it while she tried. Sorry :p</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But other than that, its a good mascara for its price. A great dupe for HR. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not sure about the price but I've done some researched on ebay, apprently you can get it as cheap as $6 on eBay! Make sure you check if its trust worthy before you purchase. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is how I use the mascara (for the non-chinese readers outthere)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. Apply one coat of transplanting gel</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. Add a coat of natural fibre. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Sunny day out here in Adelaide. But still cold under the shades, so I brought out my thick grey wool scarf to add on my somewhat lightweight outfit. I paired it with a denim studded top with a low neck black t shirt to show off the 'casual' look I was going for. Also to add a pop of color to my outfit, I paired it with a hot pink earring (if you try spotting you'll see in this pic) :) </div>

Other people start their new year's resolution early in January but I like to be different (actually just been slacking). I've always wanted to start a blog about fashion and beauty finds because everyone I know have been telling me I have too many clothes and beauty supplies. But for a gal, I never think I ever have too much, and still have a long list of things I keep on my wishlist. As an accounting student, study is pretty dull. So I often immersed myself in the fashion world by updating myself online or magazines, like any other girls ;)<br />
<br />
For my first post, I figured I should start with a staple item in every women's wardrobe. <b><i>A basic trench coat.</i></b> I got mine from <i>Zara</i> few years back and didn't really wear it until recently. And have been wearing it almost everyday since it has been a tad bit warmer these few days here in Adelaide. Yay for sun!<br />
