10 things i can't live without ♡ 6/21/2023

today, i want to share 10 things i can't live without. minus things like food, water, oxygen, my glasses, my family, friends, my boyfriend and cats. not that. obviously, i can't live without those but i'm talking about other stuff that makes life a little better, you know? 
these are simply a few things that i truly, really need in my life and i would be miserable without them. i gotta warn you though that some of these things are absurd. you'll see what i mean. so here goes nothing!

10 things i can't live without:

my phone. this is pretty self-explanatory. i'm totally a phone-dependant. i use my phone daily to connect and socialize, amongst other things. fyi, i was religiously using my phone to read ebooks and update my blog although i have a laptop with me. it goes to show that my phone means so much to me. it even serves the purpose of being my only photography camera and equipment. it's all in there. i literally couldn't function without it. full stop.

my earbuds. i'm a huge music lover. my ears are always stuffed with my earbuds. i bring it everywhere i go. i love my playlist and i listen to it constantly on repeat, regardless what i was doing at the time. my love for music really runs deep. i simply put them on while i do stuff around the house, while i do my makeup, while i work, while i workout, and even when i have absolutely nothing to do. eventhough it's the same songs just shuffling. lol. music is the essence of my life.

matcha. i am 100% a matcha girlie. i've been drinking matcha latte for as long as i can remember and i very rarely turn a matcha break down. it almost feels like a treat every single time and i need it every second of every day.

my teddy bear. yes, i'm 21 years old and yes, i have a teddy bear. many, even. but the most adored one was a very special gift from my boyfriend. he bought it for me during our first date, so it holds a significant amount of memory. we named her kuma. although i don't really stick with her all the damn time and i even abandon her sometimes, i always have it near me and i always cuddle with her. i have to hug it every single night or i can't sleep well.

perfumes/fragrance mists. i'm definitely a huge perfume girl growing up. i'm always the kind of girl that loves to stand out with my scent. i literally shower myself in perfume, that's why. i just love smelling good all the time. some of my favourites are absolutely pure seduction from victoria's secret, sunset glow from bath and body works and cloud by ariana grande.

this blog. while i don't consider myself a good blogger, it's something i really enjoy doing and it keeps me occupied. and yes, i am well aware that i don't update my blog every week but i check mine every day just to see if there is something i need to do. it also has given me a purpose and i keep coming back to it. it's like my own personal journal.

eyelash curler and barenbliss roll to high mascara. i know this is cheating putting it all together, but these two just go hand in hand okay? this mascara is just jaw-droppingly amazing for someone like me who has a sad pair of lashes. sometimes i don't even need the help of falsies because my eyelashes are that good with this mascara on. i don't know why but i feel so much prettier when my lashes are curled and nicely coated with mascara.

my jewellery. i know i'm kind of cheating again but i couldn't pick just one jewellery. i need them all. my rings, my bracelets, my necklace, my anklet and my wrist watch. it makes me feel like a princess and royalty whenever i dress myself with sparkly and dainty jewellery. gold is the way to go.

books. or ebooks. same difference. i love reading ever since i was young. i enjoy every genre, you name it. it acts as an escape from reality and a way to live thousands of life. it really makes my imagination better.

samyang ramen. i'm sorry to say but i'm a little bit addicted. i couldn't stop eating it. it just has the right texture, it's chewy and tastes amazing. whenever i don't know what to eat, i'd grab a pack of one, boil water in a pot, cook and eat this! my top 3 flavours are cream carbonara, rose and habanero lime.
