One day
A hint of red
I don’t know if anyone has noticed but if you follow me on Instagram, you would know that I dyed my hair red just this June. Now, I am due for a touch up. I present to you my red hair peg.
Will I still be a respected member of the development banking industry with this shade of red?
Sounds to me like I shan’t giveth a fcuk.
Ha! Can’t wait. <3
Embracing the pink
So lately, I’ve been embracing the color pink. The more usual me would automatically reject that color, but yeah, now, I’m just letting it pop out anywhere.
I thought, since I’m turning over a new leaf being all girly and all that, I might as well own the feminine side of me that has been asleep for the longest time. After adding a few touches here and there, this is what I got:

I personally love the pop of blue. I was wearing a paperbag pencil skirt at that time (hot pink, obviously) and the classic plain white shirt. All girl and pink to the 5″ platform heels I sported that day, so when this blue came out, it was a flash of cute relief.
Or at least, that was what they told me. LOLZERS. <—- Yeah I can’t pull that off
Admittedly, my iPhone is screaming for a new screen protector. Which reminds me… I need to come up with my own holiday wishlist.
Yes, I purposely hid my nails. My girly mode has not yet reached them (aka I haven’t had my nails done yet).
DIY Glitter Heels
Okay, so here’s the thing. I’ve seen Wobisobi do this unbelievably simple repair in this post and all over Pinterest, so I thought, I might as well try it.
And if you’re following me on Twitter, I’ve officially declared Saturday as DIY day. Hahahaha. This is me trying to be more…. how do you say it… resourceful. I’ve so many things lying around everywhere. I might as well put them to good use. :)
You will need four things:
- paper plate
- art brush
- glue
- glitter (color of your choice)
And of course, the heels that need fixin’.
On a paper plate, put a good amount of glue, and mix your glitter. I had to mix the gold and silver to better match my heels. You may need to play around with this for a bit: for me, gold would have been too glaring with the nude, so I intended to tone it down with silver.
There’s no specific amount of glue and glitter to be combined, just make sure they will make a somewhat thick paste.
Then just coat your heels liberally. Some of you may ask if you have to make the heels smoother, but really you don’t. Unless of course you’re patient (unlike me).
Let the first coat dry before putting on another one. If you put a second coat before it dries, you might form a clump somewhere. Finish it off with a thin coat of glue and voila! :)
I cleaned up the messy parts with a good ol’ cotton swab. :)
I’ve read suggestions that this will also do well with sand for a more matte finish. Some people also used clear glue for a glossy finish.
What are you waiting for? Fix your heels already!
