May Day

Many FB friends asked me why long time never see me? Haha…I replied them yea kinda busy and not attending any events recently. Even the last Hakubi media event Karen called me and said, “Finally can see you now. Many events I try to invite you but you can’t make it.”“Yea, very busy due to Spring Projects going on and today I can make it as I treat it like a holiday for me to rest and relax. If I can come I sure come, thanks for the invitation anyway.” 

We talked about my project involved and health issues related to this. After a quick lunch with them, I left to Ecoparadise for a detox spa with Rambo. My sis-inlaw Toto Lim is one of my best ally now, called me last Sunday to join her attending the new opening of her friend+Datin's branded handbags at one of the Bungalow in Ampang. They would fetch me there, just be there but I told her I really can't join them that day and she totally understand my position on that.

To make sure I can attend their CNY Cho 1 Vegetarian Dinner she already booked me since Nov 2012, 2 months in advance for our family date. I told 'Gugu' that day I just can't hide away from it already and all of us laughed out loud. And I need to attend for it as promised no matter what comes after that. Even LeAnne who's 10 years old knew this tight schedule of mine, she would booked me early to watch her dance as I already told her that 2 years ago. Sometimes, she even 'manja' with me by asking me to cancel my fixed appointment that day for her performance. Haha...she never gave up even if the date was with my mom+sis, that's why I love her so much.  

Recently, I met many of my old friends at cafe for lunches and afternoon tea they also mentioned that it's been a long time they didn't get to meet me. Finally got to meet me for a good chat, I replied them yea it's about 2 years gap. Some, a few months we didn't get to meet each other but they would sms me and wanted to join me going holiday together. I welcomed them that's for sure as we had great times together during our holiday trip. I gave them the travel agency contact for arrangements but will only meet them later in June.

Life is really a testing journey for all of us, after my 'Ah Kung' left another young family member left that prompted most of my family members nowadays really learning hard to appreciate each other. They're more generous, uplifted and motivated in accumulating wealth, open minded and begin to love themselves more by spending money in shopping, travelling and beauty pampering rather than keeping it in the bank now. They know life is short and precious, they waste no time to enjoy life now. They're very happy now and I'm so happy to see that.

I still remember my Da Jie G.Lim who had just gone through a critical brain tumour last year, obviously I was there for her most of the time. Besides keeping her mentally strong on the unfortunate circumstances that happened so fast, I kept her strong physically in taking Cellfood for her health. Before she cut her hair botak(bald) that night, lucky I send her there as she almost fainted on her way down. She was too weak both mentally and physically, but she can't do anything about it as this is her life. She needs to go through this and face it with strong mental strength . Only a strong mind can keep her going stronger and better each day.

I bought her Crabtree and Evelyn biscuits to eat during the hospital visit. At 1st she asked me not to buy her anything but after trying it not only she finished taking it, she loved it so much that she asked me to get it for her again. I told her the price when she asked me how much, she was shocked and not willing to buy it anymore but I told her don't be stingy to yourself. Learn to love yourself 1st before you can afford to love the others. 

Before she was hospitalised for the serious 4cm brain tumour, she needed to wait for long school holiday to travel. But now, not anymore as she would grab every chance of travelling together with us or Bro Chai Buddhist Group to India for pilgrimage tour. Bro Chai of course invited me to go along with them but I didn't as Rambo told him I can't stand all the dirty or real nature of India environment. He said I only wanted to go for 5 star services of India trip. So bad of him to say that about me but 50% of it can be true and the other 50% actually I can try to adapt to it if it's for Buddhism cultivation purpose.  

At the end of the day, setting priority whichever comes 1st is very important in life. For Buddhism spiritual development, I would do my very best to visit as many sacred temples as possible. Another fact I'm sure is Rambo doesn't wana go India because most of his Japanese colleagues have shared with him they always got sick due to the food poisoning. They're all the same kinda people, they only like to be based in China, Thailand and Malaysia. The Japanese enjoy living their lives by staying comfortable place in a safe country,  easy, enjoyable living and eating good food only. No doubt about it as usually their bills can come up to RM800-1000+ dining at fine Japanese restaurant, I see also 'terbeliak mata saya'(eyes wide open). To them, it's really no big bill as they can afford it and they're used to pay high price in property, salary and transportation in Japan. 

The Japanese life is not perfect as well as they're working real hard like a bull, but after a hard day's job they know how to release their stress by enjoying life too. They deserved the good things in life after all, with high allowance given by their Japanese Boss about a few thousand dollars, not yet calculating their monthly salary yet in Japan. And they respect their boss faithfully like a loyal dog. I really salute this good point of them even to the extent, if they're caught late only by 10 minutes but a big slap on the face from the Boss is a deserving manner. You just need to keep quiet about it with a  90 degree apology bow to their boss that it would never happen again, irrelevant to what excuses they may have. Rambo just kept quiet about it as he knew very well the strict Japanese culture of keeping punctuality to the highest priority, that's why he always came early and waited for the Boss. I really 'Tabik'(salute) Rambo's disciplinary years of services to his Japanese Boss and I did learn from him to be discipline in my work too. It actually works better this way. 

Nobody is having a perfect life as there's always a story behind every person's personality, so don't be judgemental to anyone even if you're jealous to her/his life as you would never know what's the journey of anyone's life has gone through. I would share another touching story of my Japanese friend staying here in my next blog. For now, I wana end this blog by saying "always be compassionate, caring and loving to others as only by practising this kinda good attitudes would earn you more good blessings in life. I'm going for my Spring holiday to Eastern Europe so there's no blog update from me till I'm back by the end of May 2013. Happy Summer 2013!"

TT Timeless Truth Instantaneous Brightening Cooling Mask Review

Thank you TT Timeless Truth and Tammy Lim for giving me this Timeless Truth Instantaneous Brightening Cooling Mask for review. TT not sending only one mask for me to try it but it comes with 3 masks. It's in beautiful blue metallic packaging that is so attractive,  it actually tempted me to use it at that night itself. I was so excited about it and it did surprised me with hydrated and bright-looking skin after using the mask. Try it to believe it! 

After my hot spa bath, immediately I put on the mask with aromatherapy candles all around me. The mask look big like this but when you take out the white plastic out, the soft paper mask actually fits perfectly on my face. I only need to press it accordingly to fit my face feature only.   

Just like the name of this mask has suggested, I can feel the instant cooling effect on my face. I love the cooling sensation that actually soothing my dehydrated skin. Not only it nourished and moisturised my skin like water but it actually rejuvenate my overall beauty pampering that night as the cooling sensation was relaxing enough. I have been looking for cooling mask since 2 years ago after finishing the cooling mask from Hainan, China. 

I finally found the mask I've been looking for and that's you 'Timeless Truth Instantaneous Brightening Cooling Mask'. It's gonna be my new favourite mask of all right now as the cooling feeling is really suitable for Malaysia hot climate. I would surely come to the Beauty Expo on 18-21st May and grab as many masks I can get. For more infos, check out TT at https://www.facebook.com/ttmaskMalaysia?fref=ts 

HiShop Beauty Ambassador

HiShop Beauty surprises for me with full details to shop online.

First of all, I would like to thank HiShop and The Butterfly Project for choosing me being part of their beauty ambassador programme. HiShop is an online beauty and cosmetics store that carry genuine products made accessible for everyone, anytime and anywhere. They carried brands like Art Professional, Clinelle, Scent Affair, Nature & Co. and many other brands too. Check it out at http://www.hishop.my/ 

The beauty goodies HiShop chose for me based on my beauty profile.

Based on the survey and answers given, these are the goodies they provided for me to review. I like it when I see it and I would give them a try, one by one. But so far, I have only tried the Scent Affair Body Wash and let’s read my review on this. I always wanted to try the Nature & Co.Vital Purity Lift Mask before buying it. I would only review the other products once I'm back from my Summer holiday. 

Scent Affair RM7.80 (275 ml)

I love the Scent Affair Sea Minerals and Mint Fragrant Bodywash the minute I smell the refreshing and energizing bodywash that's in light blue colour. After the bath, I feel that my skin is clean enough and moisturising enough. No tight feeling or drying my skin at all. I tend to use it in the morning to freshen up my smell sense to wake up. The price is reasonable for me as most of my shower gel cost me more than RM50 and above like Crabtree and Evelyn.

VanityTrove Awesome Wholesome

VT Awesome Wholesome, awesome beauty goodies!

VanityTrove Awesome Wholesome really did surprised me with 5 big samples of beautiful beauty goodies this May 2013. Not only it brighten up my beauty mood all at once but I'm gonna bring all the great goodies with me on this coming Spring holiday to Eastern Europe. All of the products met the criteria to keep my top hair to bottom toe beauty needs for holiday pampering. 

Heaven On Earth Lavender Pure Essential Oil RM50(5ml)

Heaven On Earth Pure Essential Oil Lavender is made of steam distilled Lavandula Angustifolia flowers of a French origin. An essential oil that addresses every household's health needs, it can be inhaled or applied on the skin. When I got this Lavender oil, my favourite choice of all I quickly smell out of it and I feel so blissfully calming on my body, mind and soul. I just love aromatherapy so much as it's actually rejuvenate my overall total wellness besides keeping me in a relaxing mood. 
  

Guidance usage of  pure essential oil.

I'm into aromatherapy for many years already to keep me balance and calm over the years. I've been using the '7 Chakra Therapy' for aura wellness treatments and always looking for new aromatherapy treatment, be it the aromatherapy massages or shopping for pure essential oils. The above guidance list is a good gift of bliss to guide us how to use it in our daily aromatherapy treatment. 

Schwarzkopf Hair Serum RM56(50ml) light texture that smoothen my damaged, dry hair during application.

This Schwarzkopf Essensity Natural Shine Serum is really a heaven gift sent by an angel to me at my most depressing time of all. My hair were recently been damaged by a Japanese hair colour and hair rebonding that almost pushed me to the extreme limit where I decided to cut my hair 'Botak'(bald) at one of the charity dinner. It's been more than 10 years I have not cut my hair short, but just because of the damaged I have no choice but to cut it short. Everyone got so surprised about it as I have really long hair back then but now I'm having really short damaged hair.

But thank God, Rambo has been keeping me cool about it as almost every week he actually tried to save my hair by applying hair tonic on the scalp, hair mask steam and ironing hair repair serum for me every alternate days. After trying this serum, I'm so glad that I finally found one serum that can keep my hair soft, smooth and silky fine like before. Not only it smells refreshingly good but it actually maintained my silky smooth hair to perfection style as I applied it on my wet hair before I style it. I really like it and trust that this Schwarzkopf brand really suited for my hair right now. 

Pure South Organic Body Lotion RM59(255ml) that absorbed fully into my skin after a few massages.

Pure South Organic Body Lotion, scented with native Australian plant extracts and pure essential oils and enriched with Vitamin A and D rich lotion is effective for treating dry skin condition. The lotion also contains rose oil and Rosella extracts that stimulate metabolism for optimal skin cell renewal. I like the texture that melts into my skin after a few massages esp. for a lazy lady like me...Haha!  

Skinlab Goatsmilk Tilley Soap RM12 that smells naturally good.

Skinlab Goatsmilk Tilley Soap that is a neat treat for body and skin usage, comes in creamy texture and provide gentle cleansing on sensitive skin like me. With its ingredients sourced directly from the purest Australian Goat Milk farm, it's chemical-free and further enriched with skin conditioning Organic She Butter, Organic Jojoba Oil and Organic Cocoa Butter. I love the natural smell a lot and I kept on smelling it for many times.

Avene, my favourite brand to keep my skin normal under hot sun(sensitive).

Avene brand is the brand I always look for in case I need an emergency boost of hydration skin under the hot sun. My normal skin would turned to sensitive red skin if it's too long staying under hot sun caused by the dangerous UV rays. Everytime I applied SPF 50 after my daily serum+moisturiser, many of the ladies asked me why I need to apply SPF even having fair skin but I explained to them that the UV rays be it UVA, UVB or UV light are very hazardous to our skin. 

Yea, we would age and having pigmentation at the old age but to prevent it from getting that bad to worst scenarios, we really need to apply SPF50 to keep it safe from the hot sun. And if any event I can't prevent myself from going under the sun that got my skin sensitive caused by this, Avene is my lucky star to keep it cool back to normal skin. It's soothing and moisturising enough to refresh and nourished my skin. 

The few vouchers for shopping and trial treatment from VT.

VanityTrove Awesome Wholesome is really getting better each month that tempted me to looking forward for June beauty box. This month they're also giving shopping voucher from HiShop of RM25, RM20 Antipodes and Mary Chia trial that I would do my very best to redeem it once I'm back from my holiday. 

If you like what you see, you can subscribe it at RM50 per beauty box or check out their Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/VanityTroveMalaysia?fref=ts

Clarisonic Mia2 RM672

Talking about buying gifts, I love receiving gifts and giving gifts all the time. It feels good to give and if the other person who receives it got so excited on the gifts, you feel more happier to see the big smile on their faces. Even receiving gifts, who doesn't like to receive gifts? Even a small gift like a memoir pin from Tokyo Disneyland means a lot to me as it's memorable enough and meaningful to me as it's a brand of Disneyland.

For this Sephora Wish List Gift, I wish to have this Clarisonic Mia 2 - 2 speeds with a one-minute pulsing T-Timer® and a protective travel case for on-the-go sonic cleansing to keep my skin cleaner and deeper skin that need to be extra clean without stripping my delicate skin. And I wish to have the Green or Pink colour to accompany me into a colourful, beautiful facial pampering. Hope my wish would come true where I would be delighted to shop more if I do...Haha!   

I love shopping in Sephora, be it from the Sephora Paris to Sephora Malaysia. I'm also a member of Sephora as I tend to buy things from here after trying the products or sometimes after reading any articles of the latest products from magazines. My body sure will get itchy where I would be dragging myself to Sephora and trying it with my itchy hand, then sure 'la ye'(terkena sudah) one. Lastly, sure buying it not only one but two or more especially when it comes in a nice set like Soap and Glory set like the picture above. 

I bought many of the sets before because really I like the pretty pouch, the beautiful bag also and most important factor is that I love the effective products that keep my top hair to bottom toe healthily clean and smoothy like a baby skin. Not only it feels so cool bringing the beautiful bag and pouch along to holiday with me, but the whole package actually makes me feel so complete in beauty pampering.Will update you gals on the product review soon after I'm back from my Spring holiday, bye! 

Swiss line Cell Shock 360º Anti-Wrinkle Serum Triple Collagen Complex Review

RM 698, worth the price of effective and proactive serum I adores in beauty care.  

The moment I received the Cell Shock 360º Anti-Wrinkle Serum Triple Collagen Complex by Swiss line with the golden packaging from Switzerland, I fell in love already. After applying it for the past 3 weeks and yesterday on the mirror, I didn't see the long, laughing line on my left mouth anymore.

 I totally forgot that I used to have the permanent laughing line on the left side. And the wrinkles on my forehead also gone, such an amazing result I always wishing for. It's really like a magic in the real world happening to me, not in the fantasy world  like 'Once Upon a time' TV series.

Love the golden bottle that's been tempting me to use it everyday to repair my aging skin to youthful skin. 

Not only it's easy to use in just a twist open with up-todate, advanced packaging that pumped the sufficient serum enough for my face usage, but the fact that it's also easy to carry anywhere, anytime when I travel. 

I can easily keep it in my handbag if I needed an emergency boost for the stubborn wrinkles to go away. It smells so refreshing and it actually absorbs into my skin in just after a few massages all over my face. The gel texture is really light and penetrate into my skin like water. 

The powerful anti-aging serum from Switzerland that's working conveniently for me.  

It's really one of the best serum I have ever used for anti-aging treatment. The back of the bottle also shows that I've used up to half of the bottle already and I need to prepare to get another new bottle real soon. Haha...I really love it and hope it can keep my skin healthy and pretty in my late 30's. 

Tq Swiss line, I love you so much. You make me feel brand new and having so much faith in your brand to believe that I can age gracefully without any plastic surgery. Beauty radiates from within, if you're happy naturally you'll be pretty easily. Just a smile will brighten up your beautiful face even more. So stay happy!
