New Year, New Shows!

For the downright hilarious (20 min): Community

Not going to lie - I didn't make a New Years resolution. Or if I did it would consist of one phrase: "don't spontaneously combust." And my personal favorite remedy and form of procrastination is watching TV. But just as a side note, who really watches shows on television anymore? And so I give you (in the spirit of spreading the love) the six shows that you should start watching and the link to how. So enjoy! 

Guilty Pleasure (45 min): Vampire Diaries

 

 Quirky Giggles (20 min): New Girl

 All time favorite (22 min): Modern Family

New and upcoming (45 min): Covert Affairs

Sherlock Holmes + CSI + House = Must See (40 min): Elementary

Cocoa Craze

Red Velvet Hot Chocolate

Come the cold months there is nothing more satisfying and warming than a steaming mug of cocoa, and with that I give you Pintrest's top five best hot chocolate recipes. Forget your usual Swiss Miss, or god forbid powder and hot water, and tuck into one of these. Just looking at them takes me to a snow covered paradise. For something other than the classic, enjoy!

Cookies and Cream Cocoa

 Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate

Luscious Lips

Personally, winter kills my lips. Even though I am spending my holidays in a tropical paradise, I feel the pain (and admittedly a tad bit of jealousy) to those spending it in the snow. The first thing that dies on me are my lips; which crack, split and eventually turn into a bloody mess. Nasty right? Over the years I have therefore made sure that come October I am armed to the ear with chapstick and lipbalm and will swear to anyone that there is definitely reason to chose your balm carefully. These are four of my tried and true favorites for any price range.

1. {Soft and Tinted}  Maybelline Baby Lips in Cherry Me 015 - HK$30
2. {Luxurious Splurge}  L'Occitane Shea Butter Lip Balm - HK$70 
3. {Cheap and Cheerful}  Nivea Soft Rose / Velvet Rose - HK$14
   
4. {All Year Round}  MAC Tinted Lip Conditioner in Getting Pink - HK$120

* All prices are listed in Hong Kong Dollars!

First Post!

I'M BACK! 

Some of you maybe followed our previous blog Lipstick and Life which unfortunately we had to stop.

But I am back! Welcome to my new(est) blog Small Girl Big World ... because in quite a self explanatory way I am a (relatively) small girl girl in sometimes what seems like a ridiculously large world.

So stay tuned! (: And how appropriate - Merry Christmas lovelies! x
