Laneige skin care quick review

Anyone remember my trip to Hong Kong 2 years ago? Remember I bought back loads of skin care products including 250+ sheets of My Beauty Diary face mask? I never talked anymore about it after that but it’s time I write a little about my Asian skin care product experience. The Laneige (Korean brand) products I purchased are absolutely amazing. I haven’t looked back since. I have know about this brand for many years but I couldn’t justify spending so much money on products that I wasn’t 100% sure it will work for me. Unfortunately, they didn’t have small trial gift sets back [...]

Cute hedgehog bun

Hedgehog bun

Hot water is such an essential part of our day to day life. It can cause such panic when it is not around. In another word, my boiler broken on Thursday evening after I finish taking a shower. At first I thought the boiler just ran out of hot water and it’ll be fine after a while but I was so wrong. Friday night after work, I was dying for a shower because I really wanted to wash my hair. It was already too late to call a plumber and we didn’t want to pay lots of money for an emergency call. [...]

Monthly Goals: April 2013

crayons

Two years ago Georgina started setting up monthly goals for herself, and quickly many bloggers caught it on including myself. Sadly, it only lasted three months! I think I set myself too many goals that weren’t realistic. Well it would be but I’m just too lazy. I’m going to attempt it again but setting less goals. Hopefully these goals will help me be more organised with my life. So here goes this month’s goals, going to be a less than normal as we’re just over a week into April already. Take lunch to work at least twice a week (6/6) [...]
