Lullabies by Lang Leav


Lullabies is the second book from author Lang Leav. Like her first book Love & Misadventure, Lullabies is about heartbreak, life, and everything in between. I loved this book as much as I loved the first one, so I went on a tweet spree again of the parts I loved. Because, isn't it amazing how many things are said with only a few words?

In this post are my favorite excerpts from Lang Leav's second masterpiece. Read on for more.

TMH Playlist | 1989 album by Taylor Swift


October 27th this year, Taylor Swift released yet another album. Contrary to what other people think (that Taylor Swift isn't country but pop), she has finally gone pop "officially" with her latest and first official pop album, 1989 which is the year that she was born. I have always liked Taylor Swift because of her music--not minding whether she's country or pop because whatever, as long as it's good, I don't eff care what she or the people call her music.

TMH Playlist | Little Machines album by LIGHTS

Lights - Little Machines album

Being a Spotify premium subscriber and user, I make sure to explore all new and good musicians out there from my preferred genres: indie, alternative, electropop, hipster, and all those feel-good songs. I also make sure to create my own playlists, so that I won't have to manually put every song I like on my iPod. Through Spotify premium, I came across this track I fell in love immediately upon hearing. Thought it's one of Taylor Swift's songs from her new album The 1989, but when I listened well, it sounded like Ellie Goulding. Odd. So when I checked the artist, I noticed that it's a new name--one I've never heard or saw before--"LIGHTS".

Ever since Kylie Jenner started flaunting her "fuller lips" and wearing vampy lipsticks, I started too, joining the bandwagon. She's into wearing dark lipsticks--plum, black, oxblood, dark nudes, etc. Kylie soon began my peg when it comes to choosing my next color of lipstick. And this lip color is definitely my first Kylie Jenner-lip-color peg.

I am a certified lipstick addict, and this obsession of mine started when I first got my MAC Lipstick in 2012. From that moment on, I fell in love with the beauty of lipsticks and their tube that I never stopped buying one for myself. My mom already knows this--of course, she knows this, as I probably inherited it from her! Because she too, loves lipsticks. Especially pink ones. Here is my latest pink lipstick that my Mom bought for me: NYX's Round Lipstick in Fig.
