Over the weekend, Sydney and I were on BBM and she told me to share a pic of my makeup stash. I’m too embarrassed, really because they’re too plenty. Instead, can I just share the least number but my favourite (and best in my opinion) roster of SKUs in my boudoir? *wide grin*

Say hello to my favourite luxury: hair care. Words of wisdom from Mother Goose: you can mask body odor, hide pimples, fake cheekbones, but you can never ever skimp on hair care products. I have a sensitive scalp and very thin, frequently coloured hair strands that fall off when stressed. So yes, I have absolutely searched high and low and these are the only products that work for me (so far!) at home.

Happy new year everyone! NY 2012 kicked off a little too early for my family. We had our first reunion yesterday at my aunt’s (Mother Goose’s sister) house/club house/basketball court (LOL). We usually hold our celebration during NYE but my family of four will be counting down early today with the other side of the fambam.

Incomplete yet oh-so giddy!

I got more presents yesterday but what’s awesome’s that I received both wishlist wishes:

Everyone thinks I’m hard to please. In some ways yes (definitely) but if you know me too well, you know that simple yet very useful things make me ecstatic. These gifts for instance are two gifts that everyone frowns on. Me? I LOVE THEM! :D If you workout 5x a week you need fresh and cushy socks (else you’ll get blisters). Lately I’m in love with these socks from BioFresh — they’re not only lint free but they’ve outlast some of my more expensive socks.

If there’s one cosmetic brand I’ve always been loyal to, it’s got to be Dove. Sure, I try and buy products from all price points but I always go back to this brand because my skin loves it a lot. My skin and my mother’s. And my mother’s mother. Some households swear Pond’s Cold Cream as their ultimate anti-aging elixir. Most women from my family have very sensitive skin and we love simple yet highly moisturizing products reason why for us, it’s got to be (hands down) Dove.
