Just a whole lot of everything

Say good bye to January and oh hello February! =)

The beginning of February means the beginning of a new skin care regime. My previous ones are lacking at best. It doesn't help me in terms of solving my problems and I'm beginning to feel bored using it because well, it doesn't show any results. So, I whip out my cash and bought a new one. Hopefully this time it works and I'll see how it fares. So far so good. I can see that it works even on the first day itself. I'll try to record the progress weekly and see if there's any difference in a month. I have quite a high expectation for this one as it was recommended by my sister and I have heard good things about it. So, let's hope this one works for me yeah!

The beginning of February also means that I am now into my 3rd year in the working force. Won't really be getting into details in this as I have mentioned it in my previous post.

It is only like 9 days to Chinese New Year and the town is buzzing with people shopping for clothes, food and whatnot. I myself have been munching on the mandarin oranges quite religiously. So, yeay to 5 servings of fruits! Very healthy and rich in Vitamin C too! =p It also means I'll be feasting my eyes with all those leng cais! Oohh speaking of leng cai, I saw a leng cai with quite a nice built, wearing shorts. He doesn't really have the biceps and whatnot but his thighs and legs are soooo yummylicious! They are waxed and hard and just drools .... Oh and he has quite a nice looking armpit hair too =p *Get into my room to do service to myself while imagining him servicing me ...*

Ok dah habis .........

Plastic Surgery

What are your guys thoughts on plastic surgery? Would you, in the name of beauty, do procedures to change  your looks?

Financial vs Beauty - Which way to choose?

I was doing some calculations just now. Turns out there's too many wants and it seems like my pay can't cover it all.

In a nutshell, after calculating all of my expenses which includes my needs and wants, I am short of RM 100. It seems little. I mean I can tweak here, tweak there a little bit and I can make do. However, what bugs me is that it is going to leave me no flexibility.

The major items that are going to increase my financial planning is going to be my loan and a beauty supplement that is supposed to help me become fairer. I'm vain. We've established that, so let's move on. I am not having second thought about my loan because the purpose of the loan is for my savings, so I'll just let it sit in the bank and watch it grow. The thing that gives me second thought is the beauty supplement. 

If I succumb to my want and buy that supplement, of course there could be the possibility that I can become fairer than I am now. But what good is fair skin if I can't buy things that's impulsive like clothes or food or something like that? What good is fair skin if I can't do my other beauty rituals like going for facials or waxing (that is in the plan for this year) or hair cut or hair treatment? What good is fair skin if I can't lavish my nephew once in a while with toys, clothes or food? 

So, basically there're two options that I can go with.

1. Forego the beauty supplement. This way I can have extra RM 320 in hand that I can use it for anything that I want.

2. Buy 1 pack of the supplement instead of 2. This is more like a compromise. I mean I still buy it and reap in the supposed benefits, but I maybe going to see improvements slower instead of consuming it as per suggestions. So, that lefts me with RM 110 in hand. 

My heart is saying just go buy the supplement without thinking of the consequences and my brain is telling me to stop and think. Think which options I am going to take. I am sort of like equally inclined to both options. Option 1 because of the money and Option 2 is because of the supplement and money (though lesser money than Option 1). 

*sigh* Why does beauty have to be so expensive. *punch walls*

Or maybe I should just accept my skin colour? Because that would solve a whole lot of problem. Maybe not whole lot. Just this problem. 

Secretly Excited ..

I don't know why .... Actually I know why but I don't know why ...

Last night I watched a Korean drama called Answer to 1997. The scene that makes me secretly excited is when Hoya and Seo In Guk sleeping in the class together. So, the camera pan to both of them and I can see clearly spots on their face! Like a pimple or something that weren't successfully covered flawlessly by make up.

Then, I was suddenly secretly happy. Happy because I saw their imperfections. Happy because they HAVE imperfections on their skin which normally people (and myself included) see flawless and pretty. Happy because it dawned to me that those people that I idolised do not have perfect skin.

I always get frustrated because I do not have great skin and I sort of make those Korean celebrities as my benchmark. That my skin needs to be flawless like them for me to call my skin to be perfect. And when I saw those spots, I suddenly felt like "Hey, my skin isn't that bad. I have spots and they have spots too."

I think I should make a section in my blog to talk about beauty stuffs.....

Anywayyy, I think I may have lost the flow of what I want to talk about. Kalau hantar essay SPM macam ni, mahu kene hentam sama cikgu aku ni ..... So I'll just end it here ...

Body Shop Haul

Some of you might know that Body Shop is having their promotion until June 10th, which means that their promotion ends this Sunday. I went there a couple of days ago to stock up my shower gel as I absolutely love their shower gels. It's as if like, pakai Body Shop shower gel, terus tak nak pakai yang lain! But of course, that's not necessarily true. My wallet is not that thick >.<

The price is

So, for this post I am going to write about my haul =) And yes, this will be a beauty post ;)

The first thing that I bought is this -

It's called Moringa Shower Gel. I fall in love with this one the first time I ever use it, which ends up in me buying THREE 750ml bottles! *grin* I really like the scent. It's floral and the scent will still linger around you after you finished your shower, which means you'll smell really good. And it's a turn on for me to smell a man  who just came out of shower, smelling all nice and fresh. It's just .... emmmmmm...

According to bodyshop-usa.com: First used in Ayurvedic medicine some 4,000 years ago, moringa seed oil comes from the moringa tree, which is native to northern India. It is known as the “miracle tree” due to its wide variety of beneficial uses. In Ayuveda, it is used as a natural antibiotic, an aid in childbirth and for treating liver problems. But that’s not all. The oil was highly treasured by the ancient Roman, Greek and Egyptian civilizations for use in protecting the skin and making perfume. It was so good they even used it to create their own skin smoothing product!


The next item that I bought is Peach Shower Gel and Papaya Shower Gel, one each.

I haven't try these products yet. The only reason I bought them is because of the price. It was on Buy 1 Free 1, and one item is RM 22.00, that makes it RM 11.00 each. It's kind of expensive for a shower gel that is this small (it's only 250ml) but it's Body Shop after all. It's scent is sweet and although it's supposed to have peach and papaya scent, I find that the papaya smells really like the peach ones. It's as if there's no difference between them at all. Will try it after my first bottle of Moringa finishes. Or I could just use them alternately. See how first. 

Another thing that I bought is their paddle cushion hair brush. I was tempted to buy them after seeing them featured in a magazine. It says that the brush is good for detangling your hair. Since I have a bit of curly hair (more like straight at the top and curl at the end) I thought this brush will help me to manage my curls better i.e. make it appear a bit straighter. But, meh. I guess I still need to do rebonding after all. I was actually looking for natural and non-chemical ways to straighten my hair. So, if any of you guys out there know how or have some tips, do tell me yah!
