Pampering yourself at Home (Facial)

Yorhooo... Ain't a special day today but I just decided to be diligent and pamper myself by doing my own hair spa and facial...Though I've recently sign up a simple facial package, but I do wanna save some money and do my own facial at home. hehe.. usually I am just too lazy to do it.. But nevertheless... let me just share with you how to enjoy your facial at home just like you do facial outside... It's so relaxing men!!

*** Disclaimer: I am not any facial expert... Just having fun doing it!!*****

Step 1 : Remove your make up thoroughly with cleansing milk or cleansing oil.... For eye make up, I usually use baby Johnson oil. It's cheap and the cleansing is very thorough. Cleanse it with cleansing powder after removing make up

Cleansing powder

Step2 : After washing your body, apply some sea salt scrub to detoxify and exfoliate your body. After your hair wash, apply the hair mask and leave it for a while before you wash away....

Predia (a brand of Kose)... I got the sample from Japan. The hair mask is awesome... My hair is super duper smooth and shiny after using it.... I really regretted not buying it that day.

Peach favor

The Japanese sea salt scrub...Serena bought for me.... Hopefully can scrub away some of the scar and mark left on my arm!!

Orange favor
Alternatively, I will use V&M dead sea salt scrub. It was convey to me that the salt came from the dead sea in Israel!!

Step 3: Put on your bedroom slipper and lets get ready for face mask.

hahaha... Bought this slipper from Japan too... so cute!! just wanna parade my slipper.. hehe

Step 4: Apply toning Lotion

Esprique (A brand of Kose)

Step 5: Put on the mask and leave it for at least 20 mins.... Meanwhile, play some music and rest on your bed and try imagining yourself doing facial at Banyan Tree resort.

I just bought these masks today... 5 for $10.... For whitening and moisturizing effect. These mask is recommended by a famous Taiwan variety show, 女人我最大

Hope this photo don't give you nightmare tonight. I know it's blur... cos I using my lousy hp camera.

Step 6: Apply a few drops of Purifying essence on my T-zone area (usually oily area) and Whitening Cream to whiten pimples scar.

Bought this from my client who is doing MLM... Apparently, it's a good product for Asian skin.

Step 7: Apply face lifting moisturizer cream

Bio-essence (face lifting cream), a gift from Serena as well. Hopefully can have a slimmer face after using it. Alternatively, I use a normal moisturizer from Kose as well

Whole process will take around 1 hour or so...I believe I am not doing thorough enough to achieve a flawless skin... but you know what, it takes alot of discipline for any lady to do it. Like a old saying.... there is no ugly woman but only Lazy woman... Well... I trust that basic step like sleeping early will help to reduce dark circle do works... hence, good night and I am gonna rest well tonight!!

Happy Chinese MOOOOO Year

Yarlow.... I'm back blogging!!! Has been feeling so demoralise eversince my blog cannot be viewed and I have no time to edit my blog!!! Anyway...do you like my new blog skin??? hmmmm... I don't really like the width of the blog ... find it too narrow....But let's just see what can be done again!!! Anyway... I have added a wedding preparation list to keep me reminded of what to do since I am only 5 months away to my BIG DAY.... hehe

Oh... The month of Jan has been a completely relaxing month for me... I have just came back from my Japan holiday and my unit cum zone chalet... and now... having 2 more days of Chinese new year. OMG... I haven really started work yet... Quite slack hor!! Nevertheless I have decided to chiong once new year is over!!! Does that sounds better?

This trip to Japan has really been enjoyable.... the people, the place, the weather, the fun, the togetherness makes this trip so unforgettable. Can't be posting all the photos up.... hence, feel free to visit my Facebook.

Day 1 - Osaka

This is Osaka famous Ramen restaurant - 四天王.... their ramen is "Oashi".... It's just right in front of our hotel

The famous street of Osaka.... how can we miss it!! We are so impressed as we shop along the street of Japan. It's so so clean... hardly find any messy and dirty area... even the construction site is clean

Back to Swissotel for company dinner....

Celebrating my 25th Birthday oversea....

Day 2 - Osaka/Kyoto

Early morning was a trip down to Kyoto... the formal capital of Japan. We mainly visited the temples which many had becomes their national heritage...... I always thought I am not a sight seeing person... but I think I'm wrong!! I actually appreciate it alot.... Some of it are a little heavy in atmosphere, but most of the temple are just a place where you learnt about their religious culture

Oh men.... look at their set lunch.... I think there are more than 10 dishes serve for each person, serve by a ultra gentle Japanese Obasan. It's not those typical ramen and bento... It's their tradition exquisite Japanese meal. In fact, there is a proper sequence of eating every dishes.... But a rojak Singaporean like me will never understand...

I just like the effect.... feels like winter Sonata.... "oooh cheng jun ge"

This were the fourth temple we visited.... and it's also the nicest temple of all...

It's believe that if you are searching for a life partner... just climb up to this place and you will find your true Loveeeeeeeeee.....

Kawaeiii...

Day 3- Osaka (Aquarium)

You are not allow to use phone in the train... You are also not allow to talk and converse too loud in train too..it is seen to be rude to talk across one another... Hence, the train is super quiet. I mean is really quiet. You barely hear anyone talk. And Guess what, we were ignorance in the beginning. And we become a bunch of no manners Singaporean.. haha

Can we have this in Singapore...

This melon cost around S$30-S$40....

Here's the night market.... like our pasam malam

Day 4 - Tokyo - Ikeburoku / Ginza

The weather is so cold...

We lost our way and this helpful couple directed us there

Day 5 - Tokyo (Harajuku / Shibuya)

Mega Takopachi- S$6

It is very common see Chihuahua being accessories like the pic you see...these dogs are like part of the Japanese accessory and make you feel like you are in the movie- Beverly Hills Chihuahua

Thumb drive

Day 6 - Tokyo (Disney Sea)

It's actually their public holiday celebrating those who turns 20 years old(adulthood)... Ladies have to go everywhere in their tradition costume, Kimono

For my whole trip... I enjoyed most in Disney sea... Perhaps it's because my first time there and the moment to walk in.... the music and the atmosphere just make me feel so happy ... Feels like you've walk into a dream land.. hehe...and I am the Cinderella!! haaa...

Harry Potter Theme

Mermaid Palace

House of Terror

How can we leave disney empty handed.... So both derrick and me spent more than S$200 buying things

Many of our friends commented that this trip felt like a pre honeymoon trip...Well Well Well... It's quite true actually... It's so great to travel together with him and he really take good care of me through out the trip... Anyway.. today is our 5th anniversary....So happy anniversary darling... hehe...that's about all for today... I am feeling tired uploading photos... and I have to wake up tml at 8am to 拜年.....
