Little Quirks…

January 8, 2011

Tweet

Today is one of those days when I feel like taking a break from my usual posts and talking about me. So, you ready? Here are 10 quirky, fashion and beauty-related facts about me:

First up, I love shopping! No not just for clothes, for everything! I find joy in even going to Walmart and picking up groceries. I enjoy buying presents for people just as much as I like shopping for myself. I should really be a professional shopper or something! Thatโ€™s a thing, right? ๐Ÿ˜›

New things really excite me, which is why I like to keep the little things that keep reminding me of my something new. I donโ€™t get rid of price tags until I finally wear the clothes. I also continue to keep my shoes in the boxes that they come in until the novelty factor wears off!

I tend to wear brighter colors during the winter than I do in the summers. Making sure that I incorporate at least one bright color in my outfit is my way of dealing with the winter gloom.

I splurge the most on shoes and lingerie and the least on bags. I donโ€™t quite LUST after bags and I also get lazy with taking all my stuff out and changing bags often. Lingerie and shoes are a completely different ball game though! Itโ€™s funny how tactfully my boyfriend leads me to another direction whenever we spot either of the two if Iโ€™ve already exceeded my shopping budget for the month! ๐Ÿ˜‰

When it comes to beauty treatments, Iโ€™m a big supporter of Indian homemade beauty recipes. I have extremely sensitive skin and my dermatologist completely disapproves of getting facials or using ready-made facial masks. Natural ingredients such as gram flour, rosewater, yogurt, etc work like a charm, without the side effects or the expensive price tag that comes with a professional facial.

I have never straightened or colored my hair, or done any other harsh chemical hair treatments for that matter. My mom forbade me from doing it when I was in school and now I totally thank her for it and embrace my natural hair.

I shop very differently online and offline. In stores, I tend to go with the flow and just pick up random things that I like, whereas online, Iโ€™m always looking for something in particular and my search is more concise.

I always like to plan my outfit, iron it, and lay it all out the night before. If for some reason I am unable to do it, my go-to, no-brainer outfit is almost always a basic tee and jeans with a nice, fitted jacket, some heels or flats depending on how much I have to walk, sunglasses, and a colorful scarf or bag for a pop of color.

Iโ€™ve never bought myself a perfume, ever! It has always been gifted to me, and now Iโ€™m just spoiled and would like to keep it that way! ๐Ÿ˜› My boyfriend got me Miss Dior Cherie on our first official date together (I swear, I never even uttered a word!) and said that he picked that one because he thought that was the one that most closely suited my personality. And honestly, I couldnโ€™t have picked a better scent for me even if I tried! ๐Ÿ˜ณ

My extremely annoying and compulsive list-making tendencies rub off on all aspects of my life, including shopping. I have a document saved as โ€œNEED TO BUYโ€ on my desktop at all times filled with all the things I want to buy, strategically organized under labels such as โ€œshoes,โ€ โ€œclothes,โ€ โ€œaccessories,โ€ etc. And every time I buy something and delete it off the list, I feel EXTREMELY pleased with my โ€œaccomplishment.โ€ Yes, EVERY. FREAKINโ€™ TIME! ย ๐Ÿ˜€

Thatโ€™s all for now. Hope all of you are having a great weekend!

Keep splurging,

SK

    Your little quirks are very cute. Even I’ve never bought perfumes for myself, have always been gifted. And I love splurging and shoes.

    Such cute quirks…I loved reading about them and always do because it brings the blogger out from behind the computer screen and helps me visualize a person. ๐Ÿ™‚

    I am also like you in compulsive list making, love for shopping and totally different strategies for online and offline shopping. I actually enjoy online shopping more these days….something about the methodical search and the comfort of my bed I guess. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Look forward to hearing from you

    Love

    i cannot go without using a straightener unfortunately. I have frizzy waves which can be used to scare terrorists maybe but till then I’d prefer the iron. ๐Ÿ™

    It was fun reading more about you! ๐Ÿ™‚
