China Trip Part 1

Hello beautiful peeps...today's entry will b about my trip to China. Yup, China. This trip s long overdue. I ve been dreaming of this trip for years, years n years haha...no exaggeration okay. Ka-ching s tight. For people like me, chances like this r hard to come by. Since I am not from a well to- do family, i am therefore very grateful for this once in a lifetime chance. Hub n i been on a tight budget for months to make this trip a reality.But I must say in today's world, saving is a pain. Everything needs money. Once u step out of house, ka-$hing must b spent.In my case, unwillingly:(
It was such a short notice when we finally decided to go for this trip. After a few surveys, in of course short time, we managed to find ourselves  a travel agency that offer reasonable package that fit our little budget.
Since, it was a bit late so the package s a bit costly. Moral value s plan ur trip early to avoid extra cost. To b honest, my trip s roughly around RM3k++ but if u book early, u can find the exact same package at much cheaper price which s around RM2k. Tempting right.
Haha ...I know the feeling very well. But travelling to a country of different weather s quite a challenge to my pocket as well coz there s another cost to consider namely WINTER COAT. I n my dear hub spent hours surfing for the cheapest but dependable coats( r there such coats????) Well ...to answer that..u just have to know where n when to shop or  must I say when u shop online, ur luck is the most important element coz all u can see s an image which can b easily photoshop. So,extra caution is like a helmet and a safety belt. Dun easily fool by the price.The details of products r sometimes unreliable too. So, it s quite a setback for online shopping. Therefore, u MUST MUST n MUST always shop where 'return' options r offered. And it s also helpful if u can get into direct contact with the seller, feel free to ask them any questions regarding ur selection. Helpful seller is always a positive sign of reliable product. Guess what , I got mine for under RM100. I am totally satisfied with the item tht i m thinking of ordering the 2nd one.
Why did I take the risk when I know online shopping can b a bummer?
Answer:I went to a mall the other day and found the exact same coat but the price OMG !!! RM400 n not to forget that 99¢. For that price, I can easily get myself 4 if not 5 coats .Online.  But heyyy...we r talking about mall right so it s understandable tht there r other costs to consider as well.

FYI, I bought my mitten for less than RM20 online n found out the exact same mittens at RM49.90 at another mall. Ouch...pricey but again there r costs to consider. :) so understood.

In short, I fulfilled my winter necessities from mittens to thermal undergarments through online shopping :) n of course through thorough contact with seller.N so far I have no complains or whatsoever ...just compliments :)

To b clear, I am not in any ways against or support online/direct shopping. Both means do have their pros n cons. The choice s always in our hands. So, peeps b wise n do SURVEY before shop.

Lunch break s almost over. So,Part 2 will b following soon.

Take care n stay true to yourself. Speak ur mind for a better change.

                

Nurbeautyline Soy Collagen

Nurbeautyline Soy Collagen. This was among the first brand when I started to berjinak - jinak dalam dunia pengcollagenan. Haha...what kind of inventor does this word make me? haha...

My sister is the very first person to inform me the importance of collagen for human. Back then, I was like okay whatever..but at one point I realised that her say did carry some weight since she works in Hospital. So, do u think that I google that first....nay, u r rite, I just went out n grabbed my very first collagen supplement. It was mid 2011 if I am not mistaken and my first collagen brand was Total Image. The one in pink box n I think it has new look now and another different range as well. One in pink another is in orange coloured box....Anyway, I promised that I ll make a review on that too. Later k...:-)

Back to Soy Collagen or SC for short, my personal opinion based on the result on myself after months of on and off SC is SC is a rather an amazing product, for a relatively cheap price, this company really knows what they are doing... The SC did give me obvious improvements especially my cracked heels.

Actually, it was nothing serious 'bout my heels.it just that I didnt like seeing them in that light haha because back then I wore wedges a lot so cracked heels errr..a bit unattractive.....owh me and my personal opinion haha...Though maybe nobody really care hahaha..but for me, this is also a sign that my collagen level is about to deteriorate. Huhuhuhu... I need to work fast to save myself..

I was first on Total Image Collagen(TIC) for about a year but price-wise TIC was a total bummer for me :'(

That was y I then looked for a cheaper alternative and fateful day brought SC and me together :) me happy.

For a rather cheap product, SC really did not disappoint me. Big love@@@@.

It is super easy to prepare:

1. Pour a sachet every morning into ur mug

2. Pour lukewarm water.

3. Stir.

#Drink it on empty stomach.

#Avoid using hotwater as can destroy collagen. (Source: Google)

Results:

Cracked heels healed but when I stopped the problem returned. Thats mean the product worked right. My face did look fairer and healthier. But like other products, u would only see the result after prolonged use k...Patient s the real magic pill. Fyi, I was on SC for years n drank it dutifully every morning before I was treated for hypothyroidism. My doctor told me that I must avoid soy as much as possible..so I had to stop...bummer...Now, whenever I see it on shelves, my heart broke..knowing that I could no longer take it...me and SC no more.

Another plus point: almost all local beauty store that I know sell SC but I got mine from an online store.

Okay beautifuls ..til then.Hope this will help ya'

Lov ya.Muuaaahhhh

Garden of Eden Serum Part2

noOkie Dokie babe wink wink .....a very close friend of mine was very excited when I told her that I ve finally able to create  myself a blog. Voila! I have a fan already haha....nay, not a fan just a very very and very supportive friend whom I consider as a big sister. Yup, but someone I know used to cringe at this idea.

How can u think of her as sister when u r not even related-  booo...too typical.

That s y gals r special n unique.

Being females r totally different coz we can have a sister without even being related by blood right. Females are afterall beautiful creatures ...winky2.

Eh...termelalut pulak akkakk. .

Sebab dah termelalut tadi..owh terrr ke???

Ok ok ...so, instead of just read my blog which is very very n very new that she found it hard to find, she pestered me to continue with  Part2 of my Garden of Eden Serum entry...so, gal ..u know who u r rite...n my fellow lovely gals...Part 2 here we go.....

I ve basically tried dozen of serum before I finally found the ONE which I can give 5
stars without being hesitate. The good 5 stars r given to none other than Garden of Eden Grape E Serum. This serum really does live up to its name. Garden of Eden, pure and simply natural. It does not only natural on the label like some products I know... contrarily, everything is natural. When u analyse the ingredients, u ll know what I am bragging about. But again, u must understand natural does not mean it is organic okay so if u r looking for something organic u might want to look for product with organic label. But, I see no harm if u continue reading though...afterall knowledge is power right.

Why do I give it the Good 5Stars.
Simple because it walks the talks.The claims are for real. No exaggerations added. Super true. For me, this is the quality of good product. Impacts matter most.

You see, as a teen I was lucky enough to experience it to the fullest...thanks to the boost of hormones..I was accompanied by my dearest friend, miss acne throughout my teen. Back then, my face was like a swamp of acne. Kecik, besar, batu, nasi..u name it I got them. Literally all. It was rough for me. People would looked at me as if I was a lost alien. I m not gonna lie, I would spent most of my allowance on various products which claimed to cure acne..which...I am going to share in my next entry.

So, post my teen..the aftermath was terrible. Scars, open pores, dark and etc...even to bring it up hurt me...chewah drama M sangat...2006 marked my adulthood when I am finally an employee-yea!!! Study no more!!!

Now that I am working, I have greater capacity for spending hahaha..sorry Dad.I love Madam ka-ching$$ . Soooo much. Doesn't everyone? But the fact that I need to spend to clear the mess of miss acne outrage me huh!

It did seem like an endless journey at one point...Though miss acne visited me occasionally by then, I wasn't happy at all... Having a face which was literally darker than my entire body was a total embarrassment ( wow emo sangat ). I avoided camera as much as possible....so I have very little pictures taken during this period.

It was serendipitous when one day, while surfing on the internet I came across an article bout serum. From there on, I started to google - there were tons of them so I kept reading though basically the benefits were just repetitions presented in different order and manner...Good news s the articles were parallel. That was imperative okay becoz u dont want 'each article says different things' scenario... U see, I was completely sold.

I went to where I know the serums were hehe - Beauty Store. I went to both Guardians and Watsons (my fav places :) ). Unfortunately, I got nothing from Watsons but something did caught my attention in Guardians. Yeah...U guess it right, Garden of Eden Grape E. Actually, I was quite hesitant at first because it was oil-based serum but being obsess with the word natural..I finally gave in. Gave in lah sangat kan hehe but really that was the ultimate reason.

The price was around RM29++ ..quite pricey for 5ml but if it works why not kan.
When I lathered the serum that very nite..I was surprised that it was not oily at all but the smell was a bit off...a sign of natural ingredients..no fragrance whatsoever.

Next morning, my face did look brighter and better. N After a few uses, I noticed - while cleansing my face, the rough sand-like surface near my cheekbones (forgive me for the expression) were completely gone. What more surprising was, this 5ml lasted for a month. Maybe becoz I had a smaller face back then hehehe...So, yea!!!!! Another bonus point.

A couple of months later, I noticed my open pores were completely improved. Yea ..again. Scars ermmm...how do I put it...they appeared rather smoother. Friends who didnt get to see me often were amazed by my skin improvement. Seriously amazed okay.

Anyway beautifuls, if u desire a fair looking skin..this should not b ur ultimate solution as u  might need to couple it up with some other stuff too.

Whewww...done. Forgive me for the long- wided review winky winky. Hope this will help u with ur choice. Til then.

Lov ya'. Muuuuuaaah

Heartbreaking tale

A regret..days without him.
When he was a little pup, he went to our home...he got all the attention we had to offer..he got all the love he had ever wish for ( did he ? )... Where in his home..he got none. But it s no one fault for in his home..children are children ..but in our home, dogs are children..and everyone is loved equally ( are they?)

He was funny, he was teased endlessly yet he liked it so much that we called him 'pongok' which means idiot but in a lovely way. He brought undescribable joy not only to our life  but our pup's as well. He would parade around the house as if it s his own ..where of course he would never do that...but its okay...for we love him for what he was..every now n then, he would lick us lovingly and we returned his by a simple gesture..a pat and sometimes a bonus-rubs on his chest. He loved it very much that he always forced us for the rubs. He would follow us around and waited for us loyally. How wonderful he was that his demise was unbearable. I know that nothing could ever bring him back but the regret of what I didn't do for him was far too great. It was too painful. I tried to shake off this feeling but the more we talked about, the worse it gets. I have failed him. I am that caring that I only know how to talk but my preaches are empty as shell. I talked about their rights all the times. What rights do I have to criticise others while I am clearly no better.
He was obviously a messenger of God. An angel in disguise who came to teach us a valuable lesson of life. But I was to arrogant to notice until it was to late.

How egos and arrogantness of human failed us as God's best creation. I forgot what joys and happiness he brought into this home that I took his presence for granted. He cant talk he cant say tht he was in pain. That is, for us, human to do. They cant go to vet though they are badly in need. When he got injured, I left the solution into the others' hands to handle. I remembered seeing the sadness in his eyes but I didnt understand. Didn't I? Lame excuse. Words of comfort or another lame excuses of mine : I did try to nurse him with simple medicine available at home, he seemed okay then or he just pretend to, I don't know and I would never know the answer. Because now he is gone forever for good because us human are too cruel. He was poorly vaccinated, I realised that but none actions are taken. Thought he was going to be okay..Selfish me again.

Late Thursday afternoon, he came back huffing and puffing, every single part of his body was cold. Too cold. We called the vet but he was not in town. My heart beat fast, hoping that he would make it through the night. When we check him, the next morning, the eyes had turned gray. He started to bump into things. The vet said, 50 out of 50 he would make it but deep in my heart, I know at this rate,  his fate is sealed. Still, I refused to prepare for his depart. The lungs were seriously affected and he had never recover from the infection.

Even his death brought us something...A lesson of a lifetime : we should walk our talk. The joy and pain are a parcel.

How selfish I was..we were And perhaps I am..We are. I forgot all the things that he had ever done to us and our life. Its the happiness, no money could ever buy. I would not trade it for the world. Thank you my dear adopted dog. Thank you @chul..in our heart, u r always a family.

@chul...The memories are too great that they become unbearable pain. But I know, This lifetime becomes so much more wonderful because of u.

Why do I start blogging?

I am an avid beauty products reader....and yes an avid buyer as well..My heart skips with joy when there s a new product on Tv..I would daydream of it for days as well hahaha kinda make me sound crazy.
But it's not the main issue though...bigger prob is about to be
revealed (prunella's laugh)

Issue : The minute I bought a new item...I  became too obsess with the reviews hehehe... a way to comfort myself hah. Then I would start the hunt...a friend used to ask me:

Friend: why find review after u buy meh?
Me: ????

Alright, I am a dumb.;-) but well..that's me.

I would search for days..literally days okay. But the issue was, it was damn difficult to find a review which represents user's personal experience..mostly, (with due respect ) just a copy of information which I can simply from the box. It drove me crazy...there on.. I would start my endless google googling.:-):-):-):-) again.

That was how blogging started to come into my mind and appeared in my bucket lists.hehehe...

So, hope my blog would be a great help for people like me ( i couldn't be d only 1) and wise buyer who looks for reviews before buying..( for now n hope it'll last winky, winky) This blog would only give my readers, reviews of my personal experiences/judgement....not going to exaggerate too.@@@@ winky winky.

Beautifuls, hopes this will help:-)

Garden Of Eden Part1

Hey beautiful people out there!!!
2day's entry will be a review of the many items lurvey lurbey by gals..what else if not serum..Serum..is actually a must have item on every gal's dresser..One of the many benefits of serum is its ability to retain water soluble in skin, in short hydrating ur skin. Hydrate skin is important to combat aging sign..well of course, no one can stay young forever right but going under knives pun confirm enda bulih punya :-D:-D:-D But everyone deserve to age gracefully rite;-) ...looking appropriate at ur age...Kalau umur baru 29 tapi dah nampak macam 40 kan susah. So, serum it is.

To find more of serum benefits, u can just google them. Afterall, google is always the smartest and the fastest search engines rite- opps..terpromote plak.Just to be clear, I am not affiliated or endorsed. Everything s based on my personal judgement and experience.

Melalut plak..Sorry for the 'repekan Mak Limah'.. Anyway, the point is...to save u guys from aging fast, serum is the ultimate solution.There are literally wide array of selections that u can choose from.

Stores like Guardian, Watsons for instance carry various trusted brand which I must say,awesome.

So, take a short trip to the closest mirror...better late than never
