One Month End-Of-Academic-Year School Holidays Begins

But it ain’t no holiday for me. Not at all as Sherilyn will be sitting for her SPM exam for the entire month during the school holidays. I still have to wake up at 5 a.m. and leave the house by 7 a.m. My Grab duties have to continue 😭.

And I’ll be stuck with Cass at home for the entire month. This brat can really annoy me till I’m on the verge of tearing my hair out and pack my bags, walk out of the door and never return.

My younger brother’s condo (just a few minutes’ walk from ours) will be ready soon and he’ll be moving in this year. I’ll ask him to reserve a room for me for my refuge! 😜

Just today, the brat’s sass made me go apeshit and I almost spanked her but I tried so hard to control my hands.

The brat tells me that for the next one month, I can drop her off at the skating rink in the morning and fetch her back at night. She’ll be too pleased to spend all her time at the skating rink the entire school holidays so that I can have some peace at home. She knows that she irritates me to the bones. I think I may do just that to get some sanity. I’ll get hubs to be in charge of Cass as I’ll be a full-time Grab driver for Sherilyn for the next one month.

When the brat is in a good mood, she can nonetheless be pretty loving. She would peel and cut a persimmon or an apple and stuff it into my mouth when I’m too busy to eat. She would feed me with my favorite dark chocolate or snacks when she sees me busy mopping the floor.

That’s what parenting is like, right? A love hate relationship with your children, a completely ying-yang experience. The hatred and anger can be so intense it actually burns.

Cass air-fried a slice of bread and spread it with peanut butter and blackcurrant jam for me when I got home from the gynae’s office two Sundays ago.

5 Ways to Get Perfect-Looking Eyebrows

Do you have thick, unruly eyebrows that never seem to stay where you want them? Maybe you have sparse eyebrows that lack shape and fullness? Regardless of your eyebrow issues, there are ways you can tame them and have beautiful and stylish-looking brows that frame your face. Makeup artists know all the tricks and tips and now you can use the same techniques and get the same incredible results. Here’s a look at five ways to get perfect-looking eyebrows.

Go Easy with the Tweezers

Where it used to be that thin, super-sculpted eyebrow were in style, that is no longer the case. It’s best to go easy with the tweezers and stick to the stray hairs only. Professionals suggest that tweezers should only be used for shaping, not thinning. Over-plucking is very difficult to cover up.

Check Out the Trending Eyebrow Products

In the world of eyebrow products, there is no shortage of options. You’ll find eyebrow pencils in different shapes and thickness levels, eyebrow waxes, gels, pomades, powders and more. Unfortunately, there is no one perfect product that fits everyone’s needs; instead, this category can take a little trial and error.

Ideally, you want to perform two tasks. You want to fill in the eyebrows and give them shape and then you want to set them in place for the day. Besides finding the perfect products, it’s also important you get the shade right. Eyebrows define the face and should be noticeable, but you don’t want them to be the first thing people see.

Play Around with Different Shapes

There always seems to be the latest eyebrow shape that is trending but try not to get too caught up in fads. Instead, choose a shape that is flattering for you and that you feel comfortable with. This may require you to play around and try out different shapes. That could include the thinness/thickness, the length of the tail, the curve of the arch, and so forth.

Know Where to Start and End Eyebrows

This brings us to the next point, which is knowing where to start and finish the eyebrow. Both ends should span further than your eyeball but you don’t want to risk creating a unibrow. Again, it goes back to trying out different shapes.

Professional Eyebrow Services Make a Huge Difference

While all of these at-home products are wonderful, nothing beats professional eyebrow services. These will give you the shape and structure you’re after, and then you can use the above-mentioned products to maintain the look. The most popular services tend to be eyebrow threading, eyebrow waxing and eyebrow wax and tint. You can visit a salon like karmaholywood.co.uk to check out the latest in trending eyebrow services. 

Eyebrow waxing tends to last about four weeks, which is the same for threading. Meanwhile, an eyebrow tint can last up to six weeks before you need it done again.

By combining all of these tips and tricks you’ll be able to get your eyebrows just perfect so that you look like a model in a fashion magazine.
