Two Souls.

A good outfit which makes you look and feel good brings about a day of goodness.
Here's my cup of goodness last Friday. :)
I'd previously paired the upcoming shorts with a white top while in BKK, that's one of the easiest way to style anything - white top. But i wanted something dressier so i tried it with this tropical cropped shirt this time! Honestly didn't think it'd work out well!
This is a Zara inspired piece if you're wondering! :)
The embroidery work is so neat and intricate it's so fabulous really!
Comes in XS to XL and we're launching tomorrow! :)

The boyfriend is improving in taking OTDs! :p
I'm relying him on OTD shots at our next getaway which is just a month away, whooops.
Can't wait alreadyyyy!

Dinner that evening at Saveur.
We waited an hour and a half before getting a seat. I'm not sure if they are this packed every other day but it was a friday evening so i guess the wait was expected. Just didn't expect it'd be that long! We registered our names and went to FEP for some "walking" so it didn't seem that long.

The food there is reasonably priced, quite cheap in my opinion actually, about $10-$20 odd.
Of cos, expect a smaller portion as compared to regular prices at other places.
Taste wise, it exceeded my expectation but i probably wouldn't head there again if i'd have to wait another hour and a half.

My whacky dinner date Gecks.
She is really whackkyyy!
Another gem i met through the TCL journey. :)

As i grow older, it dawned into me it doesn't matter how many friends you have, it's more of who are the ones who really matter and the ones who will walk down the path with you, through good and bad days. I've lost contact with friends i thought would accompany me till i turn old; which caught me in a whirl of emotions then. But as i look back, i start to count my blessings cos i've met the unexpected along the way. It's really amazing how two souls can talk and laugh about anything under the sun, let you feel 100% comfortable, and make you have an infinite amount of trust. :)

Till the next!

What i've been up to!

I have been working from home this entire week due to personal home stuffs, so kudos and many thanks to the pixies in the office, i could have a peaceful mind! :)
They have been diligently replying emails, packing your orders and backorders which came. 
Hehehe, if you're reading this, thanks babes! <3

So many happy moments have happened recently, and i'm just feeling thankful.

To Janelle; who offered to help us at the office right after her last day of her exams. I was quite concerned we'd be short of help, and she readily offered to help all the way until her internship. It doesn't sound wow, but to work right after mugging for months, then straight to internship is something not everyone will do. I've been there, i'd gladly opt for a short break before internship!
Such bonds formed are really keepers. 
友情万岁!Cant wait for BKK with youuuuu (and Bertie!!)

To the other pixies Huiee, Xinmei; thanks for all the entertainment in the chat. Haha you girls really make LOL literally. What's up with the Heineken commercial?! 
Especially to XM who's constantly checking TCL (ALL the time!) out even though she's miles away, it's really heartwarming to know how deep TCL is etched in her heart. :) The moral support they give all the time so readily is something that really motivates me. Though these girls aren't working for us anymore, the connection is still so deep. 
Cant wait for housewarming session and makan sessions! 
我还是很爱你们!<3

To Sab, Joce, Steph; thanks for fighting the battle with me all the way when Bert wasn't around, even working way beyond your usual hours just so the parcels are cleared.
Special thanks to Xiao Bu Dian Joce, thanks for sweeping/vacuuming/mopping the office though you have done zero housework before, haha. 

To Mel the boyfriend; thanks for delivering parcels all the time for us.
Without you, the operation is not completed. :)
Thanks for always giving suggestions be it good or bad, for sending me up and down to office and suppliers, for just being there. :)

And to our models Cons & Sipei, our Make Up Artist, our Photographer; thanks for always making our models and photos look their best. Outdoor shoots are really monsters; the sun, mozzies (horror of all horrosssss!) and the early hours are enough to drain 100% of your energy, 
and they are always so enthusiastic nonetheless.
I'm especially thankful for Cons who stuck by us the last 19 months. She has been poached by other shops which is no surprise, but choosing to stay by TCL, this i'm really thankful. :)

All in all, i just wanna thank the team for everything.
Without you guys, TCL is just an empty shell.
So THANK YOU! :)

It was meant to be a short and sweet post, but i ended up feeling the emotional gratitude. 
Oh wells.
Photos!

I've been busy with THIS!
YES, my tiny walk in wardrobe! :D
Converted a room to this, and my work table is also in here.
I'm still very proud of this tiny space, and i foresee it to be my favorite place at home already!

Got these from Ikea anyway, if you have been to Ikea you should have seen it! :)
It's customizable, so it's like a pick and add kind of concept!
I've tons of clothes to hang, so you can see more clothes racks than shelves!

This rack is where my beauty stuffs end up, just beside the mirror! 
It makes make up, applying facial products more convenient! 
The mirror is a swivel one btw, and you can put accessories and random stuffs at the back!
#save space

And HELLO! I've shoes rack in da room!
I know it doesn't make sense, but i've too many shoes too, and the one in the living area is already over flowing, 
so i'll probably pick the favorites to put them in here! :)

 
And this 3 box thing, can i scream how convenient they are!
I've seen it on songofstyle on instagram and it's kinda inspired by her!
Just fold and put all the shorts and jeans into the holes!
It makes packing easier, and it makes picking what to wear so much easier, 
cos i can see everything! 

I've already unpacked my clothes from the boxes, and it's slowly falling into place! :)
Just missing a carpet, and we're done!
I'll probably blog more about the finished look in the next couple of weeks!
Will also be doing a selling post on the blog since i've sorted the clothes out.
After my BKK trip okay! :)

Here's part my beauty corner! 
I just had to take a photo since it's just packed, and it looks so neat and nice! I hope it stays this way! :)
I have really dry skin, so Laneige is my best friend, haha.
Have tons of their products to help my poor face.
Spot Lancome products? I'm using them and i've blown away. They are oh so good!
I kept a pack of the Belif samples too, yet to use them yet as i'm still on Lancome, but i've already heard raves on them! Gonna blog about them in the next couple of posts too!

Frequent visits to Ikea has triggered my green fingers!
Bought this pot of plant plus other colorful plant pots, plus seeds to grow.
Like tomatoes and herbs and such, and i was telling Bert and my supplier in the chat.
And guess what, they thought i was kidding, like since when Bree is interested in plants, laughed out loud SOOO many times, and worst; they placed bets (like hello!?!)  that the plants will not survive in my hands! :( 

But hey, i've been watering them diligently okay!
Let's see if there's any results, hahahaha.

Took a Nail OTD with the new plant.
Not bad rightttt. Hehhee.

And yesterday noon, i was feeling hungry after all the packing, so i made this!
Easy peasy and fuss free, all done in less than 5 minutes!
I love french toasts with maple syrup! :D

I've been cooped up at home this entire week hence i haven't been dressing up, so no OTDs.
But i've sort of planned my upcoming outfits, so more to come! :p
Feeling very homely, been cooking more frequent now.
Oh yes, i attempted steam cod fish, fried bean sprouts and butter sotong!
Thankfully it tasted nice and edible, cos the cod costs a bomb!

LASTLY.
Have you seen this yet?
It's up on TCL's Facebook, and i must say, i super love this collection!
The pastels and prints are sooo gorgeous! It's been a while since we'd such a nice collection right? :p
When i first saw the photos i was like DAMN NICE CAN.
We changed some lights, Cons had a new hairdo and everything turned out so nice, heheee.

For this launch, we're giving away $100 TCL vouchers, plus free outfits!
More details on Facebook!

Gonna head to bed now!

Till the next, have a good weekend!

Love,
Bree

Dream Chaser.

I'm supposed to be verifying payments now, but as i'm sitting at where i am right now, 
looking at the world going pass, a sudden thought struck me. 

What are your dreams?
Whatever it is, at the end of the day, whether you end up rich or poor, 
end up being someone struggling with school or a high flyer at work, 
if your health fails you, you're just someone with nothing; nothing at all.
The greatest wealth is health.

Looking at how the elderly are all wheelchair bound, 
i cant help but feel a tinge of unhappiness.
I don't like how people grow old and start to feel helpless, 
how skin start to age and wrinkle, 
though deep down i know it's all part and parcel of life.

Money cannot buy health.

Life is unpredictable.
Stay healthy people, cos health matters. :)

"Life is an opportunity, benefit from it. 
Life is beauty, admire it. Life is a dream, realize it.
 Life is a challenge, meet it. Life is a duty, complete it. 
Life is a game, play it. Life is a promise, fulfill it.
 Life is sorrow, overcome it. Life is a song, sing it. 
Life is a struggle, accept it. Life is a tragedy, confront it.
 Life is an adventure, dare it. Life is luck, make it. 
Life is too precious, do not destroy it. 
Life is life, fight for it."
- Mother Teresa 

Have a good remaining week!
