I am a creature of habit, I don’t particularly enjoy change and do try to avoid it at any cost, however this year was a year of many firsts for me- I dared to be adventurous and allowed myself the liberty of trying new things. From drinks to makeup and more, I have acquired a new list of favourites in lieu of my journey of new beginnings (not cheesy at all).
My first new favourite: Brown Sugar Oat Shaken Espresso from Starbucks. It is my new go-to pick me up at Starbies- and I am OBSESSED! I tried this drink after watching my cousin do a taste-test on her snapchat, and figured i’d give it a whirl; I was not disappointed! It tastes like a blend of earthy cinnamon and the perfect amount of “burnt” sugar- paired with the oat beverage it gives it a richness that is unpared. And shaking it blends all the flavours whilst offering a thick drink that is cold, earthy, and rich that wakes you up as it tickles your taste buds.
Thirdly I am obsessed with getting my nails done- during the last summer, with quarantine there was not much to do, and so getting my nails done with my sister and mother became a tradition and a means of remaining occupied and to feel happy. However, that is very costly, and a pain to remove, alas my sister and I began to buy some “fake’ nails from Walmart at a very reasonable price. They vary in colour, size, shape, and style; there are even some plain ones that you can shape and colour as you please! The glue works very well, they stay on for weeks, and are very painless to remove! If you love getting your nails done but want to avoid the fuss, go on to Walmart and buy yourself some stick on nails (you’ll thank me later).
