Barely Naked
It can get pretty tough for me to stay faithful to a handphone cover, because I hate how common they usually become after awhile, and since I've sweaty palms, they get dirty easily as well.
Hence, I've been using stickers for the longest time. However, I can pay up to 20 bucks for a regular one, and what I loathe is that:
1) If you paste it in the wrong position, and try to readjust it, it bubbles up, or probably doesn't even stick anymore once it comes in contact with dust.
2) At times, the image of the sticker tends to wear off after awhile, and eventually, my phone would just end up looking really trashy, and It really pisses me off!!!
Well, it wasn't until I found out about BarelyNaked, where I was introduced to a world of difference between bad quality stickers and the ones they provide.
Besides, our phone or electronic gadgets are probably things we bring around with us all day, and everyday! So as superficial as this is gonna sound, beautiful things do please our eyes, at least it works for me. Hence, nothing's better than ditching the usual, boring covers, for something I could design to my own preference.
Lazy lazy me, as usual... Decided to take two designs off the web instead, customised them, and in less than 2 days, they are in my mail box! Extremely efficient on their end.
Customisation = Goodbye mainstream covers!!!
Right, so how does this work?
Next, select the device you'd be customising your sticker for.
Third, find your favourite image you'd want for your sticker, preferably in HQ.
How to find HQ images? Simply click on "Search tools"
Followed by "size," then select on a size larger than "1024x768."
Going back to BarelyNaked's site, you can then upload your image. Of course, you don't have to follow the procedures I've listed above, you can just upload any image you already have on your computer, or even from Instagram. :D
You can upload more than one image, and just drag it to the "device" like how I did.
You can then zoom in or out to your own preference, rotate it or even overlap your images. (Above is just an example, so please don't judge how stupid it looks. Hahaha)
Once you're done, you can click on "preview" to see how the end results look, and if you're contented, click on "add to cart" to proceed to checkout.
You can select the quantity, or edit it again if you wish to make any final changes. The last step would be to click on "Submit order" and you should receive an invoice within the next few minutes.
And it's done! All you have to do is wait for your beautiful skin to arrive!
(Here's how it should look when you open up your parcel!)
So what's good about their stickers is that...
1) BarelyNaked 's skins are low-profile, laminated vinyl decals designed to protect and personalize portable electronic devices.
So not only is it a design for your phone, it doubles up and act as a protector as well.
2) Made from a patented 3M material, BarelyNaked Skins provide protection against scratches and everyday wear-and-tear.
It's extremely durable, and I've yet to witness any scratch marks after 2 weeks! Hence, proven to be accurate!
3) The adhesive is re-positionable, and will not leave any residue upon removal. Air channels in the material aid in applying skins to any device by allowing air bubbles to smooth out easily.
I'm really bad at pasting them, so I'd usually have to re-paste it several times before it fits perfectly; I was taken aback by how it was easily removable, and I could just paste it back effortlessly without any air bubbles forming like how the normal protectors do.
This is how the sticker looks! Its material feels a bit like a bandaid, and despite how it's extremely sticky, it doesn't leave any disgusting residue behind. Nothing's worse than this...
So if you're afraid it doesn't protect the edges of your phone, you can always add a bumper (which usually wouldn't cost more than 10 bucks.)
And tada!!! I'm really impressed by how this works for the price of $12.90 only!
That's not the best thing yet, you can quote "BNNN10" to receive a 10% discount!
Last but not least, they are currently having a giveaway! 10 winners chosen. Go on my Instagram, follow me @Naomineo_ and comment on my picture why you'd like to win! Winners will be informed in a week's time, 31st May next Saturday! Good luck ;)

ABOUT ME
Hey there! I share about anything and everything here. You can choose to leave, but I think you should get to know me a little more before you pass your judgement. Check out my FAQ section if it helps.
Who are you?
I'm Naomi, better known as Naomi Neo, and I'm born on the 25th of January 1996. I don't have any siblings, but I'm grateful to have the best parents in the world, who love me unconditionally, and a best friend Trixy who's been there for me for the past 5 years. Currently titled as the youngest "Celebrity Blogger" under my management, Gushcloud - With approximately 124k likes & followers on my Facebook profile and page, 80k followers on twitter and 116k on Instagram currently.
What are you known for?
Honestly, I've no idea what am I known for in majority's eyes, but here's what I presume and hope to be recognised for - I've been writing on all my social platforms since 2009, and got kind of known from writing my thoughts and views on Facebook. My first blog post that went viral was an entry dedicated to my good friend back then, titled "Mothers," in late 2010. Noticing the positive results, I decided to take blogging a little more seriously in 2011. Since then, I've been told that my posts were relatable and inspiring to many, which hence, got me to where I am today.
How well to do is your family? You seem rather spoilt.
I think I'm just average and if you think I'm wealthy rich and spoilt, you're so wrong. I mean yes, my parents do pamper me cos I'm the only child, but I've never taken their money since 2013. And I pay for all my clothes, accessories, make up and 90% of my daily necessities from the money I earn.
What are your stats?
I'm a UK 4 or 6, I've been stuck between 38kg - 40kg. Since I've never really talked about my height, you can deduce I'm exceptionally short and I'm not proud of it - So if you know it, good for you. If you don't, too bad I'm not revealing it. :p
Are you single?
Yes I am. My last relationship was in 2013, and I'm not seeing anyone at the moment.
Do you photoshop your pictures?
No, I don't. Cos I honestly have no idea how to use that crazily complexed software. Ok, it's not very complicated I suppose. I'm just god damn lazy. I only use it to design my texts etc. However, I've been using PicMonkey to edit my pictures. Yeah I know, the main question's still back to whether I "beautify" myself or not. Er, I've no idea what's up with people constantly harping on this issue. The last time I claimed that I don't, was probably in 2012 (which I really didn't back then) But along the way, I figured it was necessary to "upgrade" myself and learn how to. If I can't do plastic surgery, at least make my pictures look chio what. If you know how to, question is, WHY NOT? And, don't you guys wanna see nice pictures too?!?! However I'd like to emphasise that - I do not beautify myself in all my pictures. I only do so when I feel the need to. And 3/4 of the time, I only make adjustments to my gigantic, elephant legs WHICH I admit, I'm very insecure about. So don't tell me my legs are damn nice la, cos some pictures are deceiving. Anyway, I've tons of videos everywhere... Judge for yourself?
Did you have any plastic surgery done?
No I didn't. Firstly, I could not afford to. Secondly, even if I do have the money, my parents are definitely not open to the idea. Thirdly, if I have the money and my parents' consent... OH PLEASE, I would have made myself look a zillion times better than how I am now. So some of you may ask, why is it that I have parallel eyelids. I've mentioned this before, but since some of you are too lazy to find out the truth - Fyi, I am born with double eyelids to begin with, I just wanted to have parallel instead of tapered eyelids. And in case you're really sensitive about it, I'm not saying tapered's not nice... It's just personal preference. In case you don't know what I'm talking about...
So yeah, I tried using eyelid tapes for about 6 months in 2011, and miraculously, have permanent parallel lids since then. I think I'm really lucky. Why do I say so? Cos it doesn't work for everyone.
Don't you think it's better to be natural?
Unfortunately, not everyone's blessed with natural beauty. And even though I've never claimed to be ugly, I've never claimed to be pretty by nature either. I won't deny I've been rather extravagant when it comes to the amount of money I spend on things to beautify my physical appearance, cos sadly, it is important to look good in this society today. You can read more on my views about physical appearance (here). And I don't see anything wrong with wanting to look good or better. Everybody wants to. If you tell me you value natural beauty, I'm cool with it, but if you tell me about your self-righteous logic on how it's wrong to enhance your appearance... Fuck you, go marry a plant since you like it natural.

Fuck you, go marry a plant since you like it natural.
Are you insecure about your looks?
Yes I am, to a certain extent. I believe you would too, if you have a hundred people reminding you about your flaws every single day. But the thing is, I love myself. So I've accepted that's it's fine not to be perfect.
Do you think you're attention seeking?
Most ridiculous question ever. My question to you is, are you not? This is probably my millionth time saying this, but I think everyone seeks for attention. The only thing that differentiates each of us would be the miles we would travel for it. From a level of - I want attention to Kim Kardashian, it's just a matter of fact how much you want it. And I see absolutely nothing wrong with it unless you're doing something despicable, and harming someone to your own benefits. Besides, no matter how much I love it - It may sound ironic, but I hate unnecessary attention. I only like it when it's for something I worked hard to gain. If you know me well enough, I'm not the kind who would go nude just to get myself to where I want. (Just an example)
How do you deal with your haters?
I've been receiving nasty comments since the day I had a blog, in 2007. I've seen the worst, and it came to a point where it amuses me, because I actually get to find out things I didn't know about myself. I used to care so much, I would cry myself to bed on most nights and I even had issues stepping out of my house at a period of time. However, it took me years to realise how stupid it is to reciprocate to what people who don't me have to say, especially stories/rumours they fabricate. I'm fine with constructive criticisms because I've learnt to take it the positive way - Helping me to improve and get better. Of course it still pisses me off at times when I see untrue stuff about me circulated around by my haters, and I'd either ignore it (if it's nothing too serious) or address it, in other words, stand up for myself (if I find a need to.) And when I ignore it, I don't look at it in a way where I'm a coward or I admit to it - I just find it a waste of time to acknowledge the existence of these people, when most of them are just dying to get my response from their juvenile remarks. Yet when I retaliate, (which I rarely do these days) I only do so when something's getting out of hand. Like if it's tarnishing my reputation or sort. After all, I'm a girl. And I wouldn't "just ignore it" if it affects my name. If I don't stand up for myself, who would? Then again, I don't think that means I care about my haters - I just care about myself enough to want to shut your mouth. Besides, I can stop 1, 2 or 3 people from talking about me, but how many times can I do so? Fact is, you can't please everyone. So it's either you focus on what you have, or waste your life by dwelling on what you don't. And for those friends who decided to leave and hate me for what others have to say? Here's a big... THANK YOU. Haha, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have realised who my real friends were.
Do you think you deserve what you have now?
Honestly, I've always felt that I don't in a way, cos of how affected I used to be about what people have to say - "There are better looking people out there," "You are not good enough!" etc. However, I've came to a realisation that it's impossible to be the best. Cos there will always be someone better, no matter how good you think you are. And as long as I think I've done my best, I don't see why I don't deserve to be where I am today. I've worked so hard for the things I have, and it's not like everything I have is an overnight success. So too bad if you beg to differ and think that a) I'm only here due to my looks, which I think is completely senseless, cos if it was just about my looks, I wouldn't have been around after so long - Taking into consideration, the ever-rising number of good-looking people there are today. b) it's bcos of what I write, cos I definitely won't claim to be the best writer. Somehow it's still a mystery to me why people still read my blog until today. c) and it's probably cos you don't know me well enough. I definitely agree that someone out there deserves this so much more than I do, but I guess it's true that life's unfair, and I'm sorry I have no control over it.
