TAG: 5 Random Facts

Hello my lovelies!

So I got tagged to do a 5 random facts video so here it goes :)

Fact 1:

My birth name is not diya, but I use the name diya since it is easier for other people to say. I got tired of repeating my name over and over again like a damn pokemon, so I decided to use diya instead.

Fact 2:

I have a very awkward, sarcastic and goofy sense of humor. Most people don't understand my jokes but the one's that do understand think I'm hilarious. I usually use my humor on family since there all like me and understand my jokes, but when I make jokes in public people just stare at me and I can hear crickets. It's kind of sad but meh! I am who I am :)

Fact 3:

I have never been popular. I can honestly say that I have 2 friends. That's it. But I also think that this might be because I'm very anti-social. In university when I used to see people from my high school I just pretended like I didn't know them. LOL. I know that this seems rude, but I didn't mean to be rude at all. I don't really know how to explain myself, sometimes when I see people I will actually say 'hello' and talk to them for a few minutes and then on other occasions I just ignore them. I guess it depends on my mood, I'm just a very confusing person. If I ever did this to you, please don't take it seriously, I think I have A.D.D

Fact 4:

I'm OCD with cleanliness. If I have just taken a shower, I try not to use the bathroom for at least the rest of the day since I don't want to get dirty again. !? I don't know why this happens to me but I feel dirty if I have to use or go into the bathroom (I know my bathroom is clean since I'm the one who sits there for hours cleaning it, but I'm still OCD like that) I also hate hate hate having pets. I love love love animal's and I had a rabbit for about 4 months, but it just got to be too much for me. I was constantly cleaning his cage and if I held him, I would have to go change my clothes because I felt like his fur was everywhere on me. I don't know, there so cute and I loved him but my OCD got in the way.

Fact 5:

I'm not a very emotional person, which is not often a characteristic of a girl. I feel awkward when I have to hug my family (I'm not being mean, i love them all very much, but I just can't do it!) I don't like talking about my feelings and I keep most of them to myself. My mom and I are very close so I talk to her about everything but even then I keep my real emotions hidden. I think it's because I have 3 brothers. I'm pretty much the 4th brother. LOL. Most of the time my parent's have to ask me for hugs and even then I say no. This sounds so mean but they know how I am so they don't get too offended. The only times I hug my family are when I leave and come back from a vacation.

Random Fact:

I just asked my youngest brother, that if I wasn't related to him and was a girl his age, would he be friends with my kind of personality? He said NO. Wow! Thnxs little bro, I can really feel the love. LOL

Hope you enjoyed this. Good Day

How To: Make-up Brush Holder under $5

Hello my lovelies!

So I've noticed that there a lot of cute make-up brush holders popping up around everywhere, but I've also noticed that they cost quite a bit of money. The price for the brush holder may not be that much but if you live in Canada (like me) the shipping just kills the whole deal. So I decided to fix this problem by making my own make-up brush holder by using items from dollarama. Now you can have the cutest make-up brush holder for a tenth of the price. So here is a list of items I bought from the dollar store:

1 wide mouthed clear glass vase



1 package of glittery 3d flower stickers (they are gorgeous)



2 cans of white shimmery rocks (small rocks, not the big ones)

From here on the step's are really simple:

Take the stickers and apply them all over the clear vase so that the surface of the vase is evenly covered

Add both the cans of rocks to the vase

place your brushes in the vase and VOILA, your adorable and cheap (but not cheap looking) make-up brush holder is complete!

I picked out these stickers at the store because I loved that they were 3D. The back layer sticks snugly onto the vase and the top/first layer pops out to make the brush holder look amazing. The styling possibilities are endless. Just go to the craft aisle at your dollar store and pick out whatever you like. There's no need to spend $30 dollars on a make-up brush holder when you can make your own for only $5. I hope you enjoyed this post. Good Luck!

Post MAC Warehouse Sale

Hey lovelies!

Okay so today was the MAC, Estee Lauder, Clinique, Bobby Brown and other brands sale and I have got to say that I had a mind blasting time (lol). My cousin and I got there around 9am and had to wait in line for almost 20 minutes. It was like waiting for a ride at Wonderland, not so much fun, all you want is to get on the ride! Anyways, the sale was held at Markham Fairgrounds and the products were situated in 3 rooms. The prices were so affordable, I can't even begin to explain! I bought foundation, fix+rose mist, mineralized skin finish, all at only $10 dollars. How amazing is that? Lipsticks and nail polishes were $5 dollars each and there were an assortment of perfumes and perfume sets for $22 dollars each. They also had make-up bags, totes, clutches, and other bags for $2-$8 dollars each and train cases ranging between $60-$90 dollars. I didn't get a train case because I'm not a make-up artist so I don't need it but I picked up a few make-up bags and an adorable dark purple clutch. They also had bins stocked with stuff for only $3 dollars, like mascara, eyeshadow wands, eye pencil sharpeners, DKNY body wash for men, and lots more. I had an amazing time and I'm so glad I went, since I was thinking that it might not be worth it. OMG I totally forgot something so important. You get a free gift just for coming to the sale (today it was a MAC body lotion, it's different each day) and they had a mini pre made gift bag which you could buy for $5 dollars flat. The entire $5 dollars goes to the breast cancer charity and the gift is awesome. The kit includes all MAC products; blush, lipstick, eyeliner and eyeshadow. So that's all for now, keep a look out for my next post since it will include pictures and prices of the things I bought so that you guys can get a better understanding of what you can find at the sale. If you guys have any questions about the sale, just leave a comment or e-mail me and I'll get back to you ASAP. Thanks for reading and good night :)

M.A.C Warehouse Sale

Hello my lovelies!

I know I haven't updated my blog in quite a while but I have been extremely sick for almost 6 weeks!!! Isn't that crazy? I got sick and I was like, whatever I'll be fine, but it flared up into an extreme viral infection. It got to the point where I couldn't swallow because my glands were swollen to hell. After that I finally decided to go to the walk in clinic and I had a really bad experience there (I'll share that in my next blog). I started taking antibiotics that were prescribed to me and I started to feel better but even now I'm not perfect. My throat still hurts and my nose is stuffy and I have an ear infection :( Well anyways, I'll stop with my sad story and move onto something a little bit more fun. I have some really exciting news to share with you all...I'm going to the M.A.C, Estee Lauder, Clinique and other brands warehouse sale on Sunday March 7, 2010. You actually have to be an employee to attend these sales, but I was able to find tickets on Kijiji. I've never been to any of these kinds of events before so I'm really excited to see how it goes and what treasures I will find. I've seen a few haul videos of other girls who have been to previous sales and they found some really nice things for like $3-$15 dollars. I'm going to be taking my camera with me so that I can record while I'm there and then I'll upload it to YouTube so that you all can see what it was like. Well I guess that's all for now, I;m gonna get to bed since I have another doctor's appointment early in the morning. I have lots more to share with you all, so I'll be back soon to update you all on my life! Good Night little pickles!

Lifestyle Change

Hey Everyone!

So I've been going through some changes recently and I thought I would share some of them with you just because I feel like if I tell you then I will actually really stick with the changes. Most of you that know me, know how unproductive I can be. When I'm at home, I do absolutely nothing and I'm just sick and tired of being this way. I'm sure that if I can change my lifestyle a little bit I will be happier, more active, and my mom will be happier too. Pretty much what I'm trying to say is that all I do everyday is sleep, eat, do my schoolwork and go to school. And I don't think that this is a healthy lifestyle at all. I need to stop sleeping till 1pm and start getting more involved in the community. I feel like I've been living this ignorant lifestyle which revolves solely around me and I am going to change no matter what! From now on I vow to start waking-up earlier in the morning, helping around the house with chores that need to be done, start putting 100% with my school life and GET A JOB. Honestly, it's not like I haven't tried looking for a job but I can't find one that I like. I loved my job at forever 21, but I had to leave since it was costing me more to get to and from work then what I was making. I have applied to so many hotels in downtown and other retail stores around my house but haven't received a call. This is why I am really hoping that I can get a job at the new Novotel Hotel, since that is my dream job. The economy is really putting a damper on my mood (do peaople really still talk like this? i don't know..lol..I thought I'd try it out) So anyways the point of this blog is that I am going to change my lifestyle and I am going to be happier! Just thought I'd update you on my awakening. I actually already tried out my new life this past Saturday and Sunday and I loved it. I got up early on Saturday and did 7 loads of laundry, made a bookshelf, and changed my room's setting. And then today I woke up early, completed my marketing plan, read 4 chapters, studied for my accounting exam, cleaned my room and watched the super bowl. And this may not sound like a big thing to most of you, but if you know me you would know what an accomplishment this is. I feel really proud of myself and I hope I can continue on with this new plan. Tomorrow I plan on getting up early, showering, reading ch 9 and 10 for my cost control class, reading ch 5 for my marketing class and then running some errands for my mom, and then heading to school. I love that I go to school, I just hate that it takes me an hour and a half to get to school. It just feels like such a waste of time, since I could be doing something else like hanging out with my family or my girls or something. I'm just rambling on aren't I? Jeez. Okay I'm going to go to bed now. I'm so tired. Thanks for listening to my rant and I'll be back soon to write a proper entry. Good Night!
