Hello Sweeties! Today I wanted to have a lil chat with you all. I personally love these posts. The sit down with a cup of tea and ramble my thoughts onto a fresh blog post. I love the casualness of these posts, and just sharing my thoughts with you guys brings me so much joy. Today's topic is spots. A very broad title, I'm sure you're all aware. Today I wanted yo share my thoughts on the topic of spots and how they can affect your self-esteem - maybe give you all a little confidence booster or a few words of encouragement :) Other than that it;s basically a Sweet As Mae ramble with meaning haha!
Hello Sweeties! I feel like I'm living in the generation of sneakers and trainers. It's like everyone has dropped the Gucci pumps (like I ever had any of those . . . . haha!) for some Adidas Superstars or Nike Roshes, and I have to say I'm a lover of the trainer trend. The day that comfortable, cute trainers were in fashion I was one happy girl! I'm a big shoe lover at the best of times, but comfortable AND pleasing to look at? I'm sold! I didn't think it was fair to be loving this many sneakers without sharing my favourites with you guys, so here it is! The Sneaker series.
Hello Sweeties! I was looking through my recent blog posts and realised I haven't done a food themed post in yonks (see my last food post here), and although it's not one of my top blog topics I still enjoy the odd food related post. So today I'm going to have a little chat with you guys about the Berry Benefit - or Benefits, I should say!
Hello Sweeties! Most of you reading this will probably have at least one instagram account. You know, that social media platform where you pretend your life is that little bit more interesting than it actually is through photos (I know I for sure do that every so often ;) ). I feel like people don't take into account the struggles that go behind every snapshot on your gram, so I wanted share a few of my own instagram struggles with you today. QUICK DISCLAIMER: All the situations in this post are all true but it is a bit of joke so don't take it too seriously haha!
Hello Sweeties! Although I'm in love with the floaty fabrics and pretty prints of Summer fashion, I can't deny my obsession with Winter clothing. This year in particular I have really gone to town with my Winter fashion choices, so I wanted to share a few of my favourite outfits with you today - but kickin it old school with some fashion flat lays.
Hello Sweeties! Throughout 2016 I feel like liquid lipsticks have really peaked in popularity. So many brands are offering so many formulas and colours, and I have to say I'm a huge fan of the whole liquid lipstick craze. I've been eyeing up liquid lipsticks from a ton of brands recently and I wanted to share a few on my wishlist.
Hello Sweeties! I'm finally getting back into the swing of normal blog posts, and I'm really excited for the Sweet As Mae posts to come. Having those "on fleek" eyebrows is really on trend right now. And it can be pretty difficult to navigate your way through pomades and perfect arches. I wanted to share my favourite eyebrow products and techniques to spark some inspiration for your own brow power!
Hello Sweeties! Although a lot of my USA spending was down to makeup (see my two USA Makeup hauls here and here), I did purchase some clothing items that were super unique and different to NZ clothing. Like my other hauls, this is not a "show-off" post, I just wanted to share the things I bought so you guys could get some style inspiration or pick them up yourselves :)

Twas' a long day! Our flight back to NZ wasn't until 9:30pm so we had a whole day just waiting to get home. We were all super tired so as you can imagine it was a little tense! We went and saw the Painted Ladies in the morning, they were so so pretty and I got some cool shots of the vintage houses. My brother, dad and I had a look into the science museum while my mum and sister popped into the art gallery. The museum was pretty cool, it had a mini aquarium and an indoor rain forest section.

Started this morning with an amazing brunch at our hotels buffet. Smoothies, croissants, waffles, I always find buffets quite dangerous because there's so much to eat. I always get carried away and end up feeling a tad overfull! Had a little relax time back in our rooms before heading out on our San Francisco City bus Tour!

Today was finally the day! It was Mae's Shopping Marathon. Seriously though, it was probably the best day of my life! My mum, sister and I headed down to West fields San Francisco nice and early and had a snack before starting the shopping. The mall was seven stories high, three of which were Nordstrom alone.

Hello Sweeties! I'm going to continue my USA diaries because I know some of you are interested in my shots from the states and what I did over there, but I'm going to post them in big bulks so I can get back into my normal posts asap. Because these posts aren't for everyone, which is absolutely fine but I want to make sure everyone is happy with my blog content :)
Hello Sweeties! Part two of my USA Makeup and Beauty Haul is finally here! I'm trying my absolute best to get all my America posts done and dusted so we can get back into normal posts. Never did I expect my computer to break. Twice. But I guess you just have to go with the flow, right? As per usual I'm not trying to show off with this haul, merely share some purchases for you guys to give you some makeup-spiration :) This will be another makeup ramble so sit back, relax and get ready to witness some serious makeup porn!
