H&M makes shopping for Kids more fun
Let me rephrase the title. H&M makes shopping for moms easier --- by installing game consoles in selected stores. Those are X-Boxes my kids played with as I search for stuff, not only for me but for them as well. I had to disturb son1 a bit for him to try the shoes on. I find it really convenient. There are stores that have television installed in a small corner, some pillows on the floor where kids could wait as mom or dad shops for their shoes or pants but my kids agree that this is cooler! They get to play and save their feet from pain of too much walking around. I, could also look around with less complaints from them. teehee. That day, even though I've finished shopping, they still ...
Garnier Anti-ruff conditioner
My hair is and will always the one healthy thing about me. For as far as I remember I've always had shiny black hair. I had it once until my waist but for kids, the problem you get are lice. Teehee, good thing my mom would be to the rescue. Now though, going out means some extra protection and I have Garnier's anti-ruff conditioner to thank. Like its other products, they've reinforced active fruit concentrate. Garnier Fructis hair care products protect and strengthen the hair and makes it lively. I'm an advocate of Vitamin E so along with this I also eat lots of cucumber and avocado...Also, this conditioner is applicable after taking a bath and leaves hair smelling really good. Try ...
Alexis Mabille’s bold colors
Marcel Proust's quote: "It's only women who do not know how to dress that are afraid of colors. A dress may be brilliant without vulgarity and quiet without being dull." To which French fashion designer Alexis Mabille answers during the Fashion Week Paris: Haute Couture 2012 with colorful dresses in apple green, deep orange, yellow - combined with giant orchids, daffodils and hibiscus as headresses and also painted faces. -- for: ...
My Yves Rocher Facial Mask and Moisturizer
I would recommend organic facial masks or homemade if you'd like to call it, with one of the recipes I posted earlier on. (See 2 posts down). I just don't have all the time in the world to mix such concoction everyday so having masks like the ones pictured above or those that can be bought in smaller packs would be convenient. These two are some of the products in the box of Yves Rocher I got some time last week, the whole lot is here. On the left is a matte peeling mask (green cap) with purple flowers on it. Those are from Scutellaria, also known as skullcap; it's a potent antioxidant. It's also said to be an antihistamine, antibacterial and inflammatory modulator containing tannins, ...
Mango SS12 Starring Kate Moss
Supermodel Kate Moss returns as the face of fashion house MANGO in a new voyeuristic TV commercial by controversial but brilliant photographer, Terry Richardson. The 45-second ad titled "Spy Game" features Moss frolicking around her apartment from the point of view of a spy camera's lens. She is seen in different outfits and ends up with that chic black dress and sexy pair of heels. She then smiles from the window as if knowing that our spying will lead us all at a Mango store. Here's her stunning as could be wearing a black top (£19.99) with trousers (£64.99) pleated dress (£22.99) with jacket £44.99 - Mango from top to toe. ...
Yves Rocher Shower Gels and Shampoo
These are some more loots from my Yves Rocher box. I got these 3 shower gels for free when I ordered from their online shop. Far left is a shampoo fit to use when out on a beach for the summer so I've yet to use it. In the middle is pink lotus flower from Laos shower gel, really smells good and feels so summery on your skin. Last would be my favorite, you'd feel so clean after using this Orange from Florida shower gel. Lovely gifts from Yves Rocher that will leave you fresh and feeling rejuvenated. -- for: ...
Edible Remedy
I have always believed articles I read about home remedy for acne and other home related cures. This is because I've tried some myself. One of the popular home ingredient is the oatmeal, it helps calm and moisturize the skin and also remedies dryness. Mixed with ingredients like fresh tomatoes, oatmeal also helps oily and blemish-prone skin. Here is a simple recipe for an oatmeal mask I tried...there is another recipe for acne but this one is for regular use. (from the How to page) Ingredients: * Oatmeal * Yogurt or buttermilk * Honey * Egg white * Tomato * Lemon juice * Olive oil --- Procedure: 1.Grind 1/2 cup oatmeal. In a bowl, mix 1/4 cup plain yogurt or ...
Fruit didn’t fall far from the tree
Kaia Gerber follows her Supermodel mom Cindy Crawford's footstep and poses for the Young Versace Ad. Cindy herself often graced the ads of Versace when she was still active in the business. At ten, Kaia debuted as a model and we can see the confidence that her mom has in her. Every inch like her mom, perhaps without the famous mole. Without wearing heels but instead flats and socks, she represents the line of Young Versace well, for kids aged until 12... We'll surely be seeing a lot of her in the future. ...
Becoming fit starts with one big step
To say that one wants to be fit is easy. To become fit is another story. That there's no easy way to attaining that bod you've always dreamed of is true so it's really good if you stop making excuses and actually go to the gym and sweat. I did. I called the gym and scheduled my second Power plate session. I felt really good after half an hour of plating.... Here are the most common excuses that I have, perhaps you too and what you should do when these situations come up. Excuse #1: "I'm really busy" If like me you're a mom, a wife, a part-time or full time worker, going to the gym may be out of the schedule unless you split yourself in three, there's really no way to squeeze gym time ...
Golden Globes 2012 Best Dressed (My Picks)
The Golden Globes is one of the glamorous Hollwyood event I watch out for --- to, sounds shallow as it may - enjoy the gowns (read: drool) that celebrities don. So here are my picks (not wholly), I may have not seen all but these are the standouts so far. - In Purple: Jessica Alba in a bejeweled Gucci gown, who'd say she even got pregnant? Madeleine Stowe in an elegant purple gown makes you just want to stare. In Green: Laura Dern in a daring green gown makes her glitter.... Evan Rachel Wood dons a metallic green Gucci, peacock-inspired gown. In Yellow Maria Menounos in body-hugging sparkly yellow frock - she made the dress look awesome. Missi Pyle in a lovely layer of ...
Dear fellow shopaholics,
Hello! Chances are, you're a shopaholic like me...There are a lot of things that may bind friends together but nothing is more enjoyable than a shopping spree. Raise your hand if you agree! Here are some smart ways to go about shopping without damaging your purse much. ;) Spring clean. Before you go out to buy, check your a wardrobe, check what's in it. You might have stuff that you bought long ago but never got the chance to wear for reasons like; they were cheap; it doesn't really fit but I'm gonna keep this in case I loose 5 kilos. Thing is, if you haven't worn it for one year, let it go. Items in good condition can be auctioned online; Ebay (in our case, willhaben) or you can have a ...
If all else fails
Fotoshop by Adobé from Jesse Rosten on Vimeo. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, they say. The awesome thing is that you can fool that eye into thinking that something is flawlessly beautiful. If you’ve always dreamed of making it to the cover of Cosmopolitan, well that dream may just possibly turn to reality. With the advent of technology, you can play around with what nature has stubbornly given you and turn the not-so-pretty into stunningly gorgeous. Photoshop is probably the answer to many a woman’s dilemma. With a few clicks of the mouse, you can magically transform that unappealing pot belly into severely sexy six-pack abs. Wrinkles instantly vanish, and those ...
Just Another Skin-related post
Just when I thought I am free from the skin troubles that young adults face,I started having pimples again. I can't say that it is exactly adult acne but I'm not dropping the possibility. I am 30 and yet I feel like that time when I would be frustrated seeing one pimple pop up my face...that was 15 years ago! We all know that healthy eating and lots of water makes the skin healthy too. So why, even with my preference of eating fruits and healthy stuff, this still happened? I blame my not taking contraceptive pills anymore. This caused hormonal imbalance making pimples show up at my back and cheeks. I have been using a waterbased cleanser for the pimples, at the moment I do not see any ...
