D-I-Y Mask

I've started a new hobby. Do-It-Yourself masks.
My skin was getting duller and duller due to lack of facial care. I only wash my face once in the morning and once at night with a simple over-the-counter facial cleanser. It was an eye opener when I came across a magazine discussing bout affordable masks, right out from the fridge!

I read on and discovered,

HONEY - Strong anti-inflammatory agent that prevents infections and reduces the existing ones when applied on problem or sensitive skin type.

EGG - Egg whites cleanse, exfoliate and tighten; where egg yolks moisturize, feed, and soothe your skin.

MILK - Has role of enzymes, some anti-inflammatory, reduces swelling and ease the tension in the skin effect. For a smooth and fair skin.

LEMON - Acid in lemon tightens up the enlarged and clogged pores, cleanse the oily and unclean skin.

Voilà!

So... I invented my own mask :D

- 1 tablespoon of honey + 1 egg -

- fresh milk -

- Beat the mixture till fluffy -

- A few drops of lemon juice -

Then.. soaked it in cotton balls and rub all over the face.. I soaked some facial cotton with the mask and leave it on my face for 30 minutes. Then washed it off with lukewarm water and finally a splash of cold water to "close" the pores.

And..

Yeap, I got a fresh, glowing face for dinner that night! Yay!

Beauty secrets to die for...
"For attractive lips,
speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes,
seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure,
share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair,
let a child run his fingers through it once a day.
For poise,
walk with the knowledge you never walk alone."

--Time Tested Beauty Tips, a poem by Sam Levenson

- How it all started - I entered Victoria Institution, as a form 6 student. On the first day of school, we were divided into classes of FM 1 and FM 2. I was allocated in FM 2, and so did most of BBGS girls. We were contented with the arrangement, but not someone. He was from BBSP school, which I had never heard of. All other BBSP students were allocated in FM 1, with him as an alien in our class. I believe he was really angry with the arrangement. The class teacher promised him to swap, provided he top our FM2. Most of the time he won't be spending time in our class and preferred loitering around in the other class. We didn't really care much bout him and so did he. We didn't interact much, but in the class he was a gem to the teachers. Our chemistry teacher liked him so much that she told me, "that boy sitting at the edge of the class (referring to him) is a very good and clever boy ya?"I smirked :\ After many weeks, finally we had group...

What am I?

It has been some time since I last updated this blog. Heaps of stuff happened and I just had the time to pull a break and evaluate the events that happened to me in the past 1 month. I've changed my job, moving into sales line is not an easy decision to make. I was doubtful with myself until I really come on board. Perhaps it may be too soon to tell where I stand in this job, but I was really thankful that my current boss gave me an insight of myself. We had sessions to understand what are our temperament. This is something that govern what kind of job that fits us. Apparently I am an "Artisan" after few rounds of personality tests. An artisan loves freedom, leads by taking action, seeks to have impact and variation, needs appreciation, a risk taker, problem solver and an opportunist. When I read the full description bout what I am, I immediately understand why I felt in constraint and bored working in the manufacturing line. I am just not that type of person that falls i...

R.O.M Preparation Pt 1

Took a glance at the "daisy-path" time line at the right corner of this blog, my oh my.. in less than 2 months will be our big moment - Registration of Marriage! For the past 1.5 months we have been actively preparing for this big day. This big day where we pen down our love, commitment, promise, companionship, MARRIAGE... on paper. 1. Date - We secured the 22/06/2012 at the National Registration Department. We had our registration form pinned up on the board and NO one objected to our union. 2. Attire - I would love a nice white knee length dress for this event. So we searched up and down at Mid Valley, Pavilion and Uptown etc for the perfect dress. Finally, from some forum recommendation, I visited the "D'Glit.ters" boutique at Plaza Damas, Seri Hartamas and found it. It's a white laced knee length dress tube topped with a beige colour ribbon at the waist line. And to match this dress I need a pair of beige/white/ivory coloured heels. We again...
