Daily Essentials

I was stuck at home studying today and naturally I got distracted. Since the lighting was pretty much perfect, I couldn't waste a good photo op. What started out as a flatlay with random objects  on my freshly changed sheets amalgamated into a mini-shoot with my phone. And thus I present to you... My daily essentials. 

01. A bunch of gold and silver accessories to mix and match for every occasion. I love minimal necklaces and rings that make a statement when layered together. Lately, I've also been obsessed with minimalist drop earrings - the only thing stopping me from buying more is my poor wallet! Big frame glasses are all the rage now, and I put them on to give my outfit a bit of nineties kick... Or when I want to feel intellectual!

02. As part of my daily facial cleansing routine, I make sure to tone using Body Shop's Seaweed Oil Balancing Toner. It helps a great deal in getting rid of excess oil and residue where they can't be reached by cleansing. Before stepping out of the house I apply a bit of Body Shop's Vitamin E Moisture-Protection Emulsion Cream. It's a moisturiser with SPF 30 in it, so I don't have to worry about those UV rays while I'm out and about in the sweltering heat! And of course, a little extra protection with a pair of good sunglasses.

03. The last step to getting ready: Daisy by Marc Jacobs on the wrists and neck. It's a classic scent, packed with fresh floral accents that end with woody notes. A little spritz of it leaves you smelling funky fresh day through night.
