50 Random Facts About Me

A very different post today. Some of you maybe reading my blog and wonder (or not, that's okay too), who is this woman? Well, my friend, today is the day you get to know more about me.

One Week of Pampering : Fun Sunday

Welcome to the last post in this mini-series! Wow that week just flew by, didn't it? Today will be a different post from the previous ones in the sense that it is not strictly beauty related.

One Week of Pampering : Spa Saturday

Hello Weekend! 

Hopefully today you will have more time for relaxing and just taking things slow and easy. Well alright reality check, if like me, you have a mountain of house chores, then after completing everything on your to-do list then wouldn't it make much sense to take a break and enjoy your me-time? =)

One Week of Pampering : Glycolic Friday

Hi there! Can you believe its Friday? We are now five days deep into our week of pampering!

One Week of Pampering : Treatment Thursday

How is everyone doing today? Are you feeling tired from work/school/life? Well not to worry, I am here to bring you another pampering post. Welcome to Treatment Thursday.

After yesterday's long post (read Hydrate Wednesday here. in case you missed it), today will be refreshingly short. Yah, i know its mind boggling since I usually yap on and on ;)

One Week of Pampering : Hydrate Wednesday

Welcome to Hump-Day Wednesday! 

Its mid-week and what should we do to pamper ourselves today? If you live in a cold climate like me - hello Canadian winters - then you know how important it is to stay hydrated and moisturized. The heaters are on and the cold air feels super dry. You really don't have a choice lol.

One Week of Pampering : Deep Pore Cleanse Tuesday

Hi again! This is the second installment of my mini-series that I dubbed "One Week of Pampering". In case you missed the first one, go ahead and read Exfoliate Monday here. 

Once a week, I like to do a deep pore cleanse. This helps my pores appear smaller and also over time, decrease the chances of breakouts on the face. 

One Week of Pampering : Exfoliate Monday

Kicking off the mini-series this week, today I'm going to give my 2 cents on the topic of exfoliation.

Mini Series - One Week of Pampering

Starting next week, I will be putting up a new post each day (from Monday to Sunday) where I talk about how I pamper myself in the evenings. I think this would be useful to those who are planning and preparing for a big event, or just anybody who wants to have a relaxing time at home. I really think it makes a difference when you take the time to make yourself feel special because I believe you need to take care of yourself first before you can really take care of others!

I'm going to list below what I plan to post for each day. But please keep in mind that there might be a few changes. I'll try to stick the schedule below though =)

Monday: Exfoliate Monday

Tuesday: Deep Pore Cleanse Tuesday

Wednesday: Hydrate Wednesday

Thursday: Treatment Thursday

Friday: Glycolic Friday

Saturday: Spa Saturday

Sunday: Fun Sunday


I hope you guys enjoy this mini series!

Hadalabo Gokujyun Super Hyaluronic Acid Skincare Range

From left to right: Hadalabo Gokujyun Super Hyaluronic Acid Foaming Wash, Toner and Moisturizing Milk

Another japanese skincare post! This one more affordable than previously posted SK-II range (you can read it here). 

Hadalabo is a drugstore brand in Japan known for being affordable, gentle, suitable for sensitive skin and its simple, no-frills approach with ingredients. Don't mistake simple for non-efficient though. I found that this particular range, Gokujyun, is a hardworking moisturizing range that keeps my skin calm and hydrated for the entire day.

Product Empties - October 2013

I am pretty terrible with keeping empty bottles of things. I like to avoid clutter and keep things clean and organized and so my first reaction to empty products is to chuck it awayyy asap.

Well now, see what I did for you guys here. That's right. I went against my natural inclinations and kept the darned things haha! 

Body Care Routine - Winter Edition November 2013

I always tell people that my favourite seasons are Autumn/Fall. I love wearing cozy sweaters and trendy coats, as well as fashionable boots! I get excited buying fall and winter fashion items. 

The one thing that I'm NOT excited about is dry skin all over my body. If i just use normal foaming body washes (even in the summer), I swear that my skin becomes reptilian...all scaly...*sheds tears* its terrible.

This winter I became so frustrated with how itchy and dry my body was. My limbs were so parched that I felt they were being torn in two, so finally I put together a routine to take care of my issues. Today I'm going to talk about the products I use to control my super dry body skin. I am going to restrict it to just body care and do a separate post on winter hair care and winter skin care later on. Hope you enjoy this post!
