About Finding Thea

Who is Thea and Why are we finding her?

Finding Thea is about :
  • sharing my life experiences ( food, fashion/beauty/style, walk with God, relationships, general encouragement with life, uni, friends, family etc )  in the hope that others may relate and learn from it
  • sharing stories and messages that can help people take steps towards finding who they are and what they like
  • helping others find their purpose and aligning it with the word of God 
  • encouraging, inspiring and motivating each other to uplift us when we’re down and keep us inspired in the good times
  • SHARING THE LOVEEEE

Thea is you, Thea is me. Thea is someone trying to find her bearing in the world. S/he is discovering or creating his/her self whilst trying to fulfil God's purpose for their life.
Finding Thea is a pool of life experiences. It is a platform to encourage others trying to find their feet or bearing in this world. Be it finding God, their purpose, style etc - Thea is here to inspire thought-provoking stories and messages that would hopefully inspire you.

I will try my best to be realistic and transparent. I will be open and real. I do hope that you could learn from a thing or two and be encouraged on this life journey. I also hope that this truly blesses you in one way or the other. 

Your questions, suggestions and feedback are most welcome. 
If you'd like to personally get in touch, please email me. 

Peace&Love,

Thea xx

How to shop effectively

When it comes to shopping, a lot of us ( including myself ) can't hold ourselves from all the nice clothes and shoes (oh gosh, AND SALESSS). as a result we spend our money buying things on impulse. Then at the end of the year while you're cleaning out your closet for charity, you realise all the "nice" things you bought and never wore.
Here, I list out a couple of things I've been trying out recently and I thought I'd share it with you.
Hope you find it useful and if you do, leave a comment or/and share. Thanks in advance!

- list out all your needs and wants. be brutally honest here, you do NOT need a pair of converses in every colour.
- have a budget. and a very realistic one at that. yes, you can't really spend ALL that money on clothes. what are you going to eat?!
- start saving. duh. you don't want to get to the end of season sales and not have any money left.
- don't put all your eggs in one basket. explore shops, malls and different locations. don't be afraid to get out of your comfort zone; p.s have you tried thrift shops, i heard they have great affordable stuff there!
- keep an eye&ear out for sales. yes, some of the best things DO end up on the sales rack; don't buy it JUST yet.
- shop over a wide range of days/weeks. that way you always have something to look forward to.
- shop according to your priorities. that's right, those pair of jeans would still be there tomorrow.
- DON'T SPLURGE ON ONE ITEM! If you think something is SO good you just MUST have it RIGHT NOW - let the store hold it down for you for a day or two. sleep on it and if you come back and still feel the same way, get it.
- less is more. buy timeless pieces. think ahead of what's trending right now. summer is going to go and you'd only be stuck with vests and crop tops.
- take a GOOD friend with you. emphasis on the good. someone who you can be accountable to about your spending. as well as someone who has a good eye for picking the best things on sale.

and last but not least, i cannot stress this enough
- take your time. don't rush shopping, ever.

till next time,
peace&love

How to make the most of your summer

When it comes to summer, no one's really thinking ahead. All we're thinking of is having fun and sleeping in. It's a bummer when at the end of summer, you look back only to realise you didn't do all those really cool things you said you would when you got the time.
No worries, that's where I come in!
I've come up with 7 steps to make the most of your summer and I do hope you find it useful.
If you do, leave a comment or/and share it!


1. Have a plan.
What do you want to do this summer? What project do you want to work on? What skills/talents do you want to sharpen?

2. Write it down and place it somewhere you'd always see it.

3. List out the steps you'd need to achieve that/those goal(s).
i.e planning an end of summer party
- make a list of who you want to invite
- see what dates works best with most/every one
- choose a venue. your house? your friends'?
- make a list of what you'll need.
- set a budget
etc

4. Be accountable.
Share this with someone you can confide in.

5. Give yourself a timeline.

6. Start saving!!

7. It's summer, still have fun! But make sure you're keeping a close eye on that/those goal(s).

Till next time,
Peace & Love
