Things to do before I die: A.K.A My bucket list

There was a time I used to be sad about everything. Everything I didn't get, everything I couldn't achieve in life, everything so many other people in this world are having so easily. Well, it was about a year ago till I saw this movie :-D The movie bucket list shook me from the core. And taught me to think that there is no point in wasting time to regret about each little sadness. Rather set your mind and work towards what you want to have!!

So here goes my bucket list. Its mostly like a diary to keep to myself, but if anyone else finds the similarity or simply reminds them to add some to their bucket lists, then WELCOME!

1. Visit Disneyland
2. Take a tour to all the countries that exist in this world.
3. If possible, visit all the cities in this world!
4. Try scuba diving
5. Para gliding. In Nepal.
6. Bungee jumping :-D YAY!
7. Be skinny. For once in my life [Hope that doesn't come from a cancer or a chemo!]
8. Own an apartment.
9. Get a scooty. And surely, learn to cycle first :-(
10. Be the proud owner of a black belt at Taekwondo. [Mission accomplished. Yay me! :-D]
11. Euro trip. Preferably by road.
12. Visit Nepal.
13. See all the SAARC countries.
14. Go to Thiland. Shop till you drop!
15. Eat authentic Chinese food, from roadsides of China!
16. Visit Antarctica. Live in an igloo :-D
17. Relax at Bora Bora islands :'(
18. Go see Maldives before the water level rises high enough. (Curse you global warming >_<)
19. Boat ride in Venice, Italy
20. Own a full frame camera. Not like this will improve my photography skills. But I'd like to have one. SPLURGING :P
21. Make a toshok (mattress) for ammu made with money :/ (Weird? Whenever mom didnt give me money I used to tell her......হুম, দিবানা এখন? একদিন দেইখো তোমাকে টাকা দিয়া তোষক বানায় দিব!)

I will keep on updating as I remember or get some more :-) Whoa! Thats quite a small list :-( 

DIY nails: Teal Leopard prints

DIY nails: Teal Leopard prints

Hello everyone! I am not much of a pro regarding nail designs......and frankly, I have never been able to grow my nails much long due to the horrible habit of nail biting! :-( Moreover, Friday is the only day when I get to pamper myself. So this Friday I tried teal leopard prints on my nails and wanted to share it with the world! :-D [You have no idea how much of a big achievement this is for me -_-] 

I'm gonna go step by step :-) 

1. First, take a hand that has nails. Any hand will do :-D 

2. Then take your favourite nail colours. I used black, silver glitter and teal here. 

From left to right:
1. Jordana Salon Formula nail polish in Black
2.  Jordana Salon Formula nail polish in silver
3. Isabelle Dupont nail polish in teal (#471)

3. There are 2 more essential things I used. A dotting tool that I made myself (will show you how someday!) and a nail art brush. Here again I did not have a nail art brush, so used a size 0 painting brush. You can find it in any paint & craft store in Dhaka.

4. The first part is easy. Just paint your nails in whichever shade you like in 3 strokes, like the usual. This is how my nails looked after the base paint.

My nails are not that properly shaped, but who cares! :-D First time in my life I have been able to grow them this long!

5. Take your dotting tool. I used my self made one out of a broken chopstick and a pin!

6. Dip the tip of the dotting tool in your desired nail colour. I planned to do teal prints on silver glitters, hence took a little teal nail polish and dotted on the 2 nails I painted in silver glitters. Didn't mind about the irregular dots.........a leopard does not have structured round prints anyway! 

7. Then I took my painting brush, dipped it in the black nail polish and outlined the teal dots. Don't worry if your hands shake.........it does not need to be perfect.

Hey look! I have highly prominent veins!!! :-O 

 8. Okayh, so where were we? :-\ Oh yes! We were outlining the dots.

And that is it actually. Put on a clear top coat and you are done! :-D 

Doesn't look as good as it did on Pinterest :-( Must be something with my lens :-P 

OMG! MY FIRST BLOG EVER! o.O 

Not technically, I have done plenty of freelancing as a paid blogger before. But this is the first time ever I did it for myself :-D Yay!

#Much love for you all. Stay healthy, and REMEMBER NOT TO BITE YOUR NAILS!! :-( # Stay connected with my facebook page here. You can also follow me on twitter and Pinterest for many other interesting ideas!
