Imagined 

tousled hair

messy days

These days

they are

momentary

short-lived

We can't

get em' back

so why not

enjoy now?

The movie: Inside Out

"They said "stay nice, stay innocent" when you were younger. 
But for how long?
If time was that definite, what is there to worry about?
About its limitations, and not making the best out of it?
I doubt so."

We are getting older each day. It might not be visible at this exact moment, but we are.

About a month ago, I watched Inside Out and enjoyed it. It holds great values about growing up and all. I don't need to further elaborate, do I? Some of y'all might have watched it, got emotional and even moved to tears. For those who haven't, don't worry I ain't gonna 'spoil' y'all.

Picture source: here 

Basically, I like how each emotion is portrayed in a both good and bad way. Its like how glory and gore goes hand in hand (well thanks Lorde...). Characters like Sadness and the main girl in the movie are pretty well-rounded, in my opinion. The animation? Well, I would credit how real life characteristics from people were well explored. Pixar almost always amaze me. Overall take in from Inside Out would be: to accept that growing up and getting exposed to changes is all part of everyone's lives. It is okay to breakdown at times, it doesn't mean one's weak. It is also okay to have mixed feelings.

I mean come on...look at this image below as an example...

I saw it online and liked the concept. Source already stated gahahaha! But actually, that table reminds me of a Punnett Square I learned during Biology lessons in school. Except that it is not entirely a square but a rectangle. And it is not genetically linked. *Laughing at self*


Hmm...how about when you are meditating?

My guess: emotions might be quite translucent. Transparent even if you are really achieving enlightenment.

Just another short post.
Enjoy your week!

Sept - Dec 2014 favorites

This is the third annual post for my little favorites trilogy. If you haven't view my first and second ones, here they are! They are probably labelled in the 'beauty' and 'review' sections.

Great to be ending off the year with my favorite products/random items huh...I guess. I was rather experimental this year. From trying out various methods, tips and formulas, I learned so much!

Some of y'all might have heard me mention about certain products from other social networks. However, this is a somewhat.. more detailed review from me.

Disclaimer: the products owned are bought and considered dearly. They are not sponsored nor posted out for advertising. Just based on personal liking and forked out $$ to pay from my savings/ gifts from beloved mommy.

BEAUTY;

^ o ^

Sorry for the background, probably from the effect of sharpening.

1. Bio-Oil's "PurCellin oil" - It is mentioned in other reviews/recommendation lists by users that this product in particular, is very effective. I will not deny the fact that it does help in lightening up scars on face and other parts of the body. However, the key values to see absolute results are patience and consistency. Personally, I like applying Bio Oil during most of the nights as part of my nightly routine. I would replace the oil with my moisturizer as I feel that both items are similar in terms of hydration (I think I have mentioned this before but yes.. I seldom have a dry skin). I researched for more ways to use Bio Oil and this is what I found! Pretty cool.

2. Nivea's "Pure and Natural" cleansing toner - Not bad! This is one of the better toners for me (right now). Reason being, doesn't leave my skin with total redness nor blemish (maybe some ingredients in certain toners can make the skin partially "allergic" but oh well).
Okay... aside from me talking about allergies, I like the aftermath of toning my face using this toner. I feel mostly fresh and clean, like "all bad bacteria go away~ and stop clogging my face" kind of feeling. Weehehehe!

3. Cetaphil's "Moisturizing Cream" - Another Cetaphil product I would love to recommend. I did purchase this as a gift for my bestie (for her birthday) and made her try it out. I think she likes it too because she mentioned about the gift months later. I first decided to test the moisturizer out after seeing some YouTubers raved about it.
It does not have a strong smell, like how it is mentioned as "fragrance free" and I believe it is pretty much suitable for all skin types (despite the way it specifies dry, chronic skin, but don't trust me fully on that though :b).
Overall, I love my next-day skin whenever I applied the cream the night before. It feels smoother..ahh.

Not my picture, link on it

VitaHealth's "Multivitamin" - I don't think most people know about these multivitamin tablets, but I am more than happy to bring the name of the product up.
This worked wonders. I've seen slight details of changes after consuming them. First off, it helps with increasing the rate of digestion (at least that's what I think). It helps the body gives off more waste efficiently (in comparison to how it carries out its function normally). I felt much lighter inside.
Of course, the price falls a little on the pricier side, but it is worth it for me.

Apr - Aug 2014 favorites

This is a continuation post from here! Yes I know it is very 'irregular'. It is mainly because I stick to products I like. Therefore not many are sampled and displayed.

BEAUTY;

FREEMAN's facial peel off (cucumber) and clay (avocado+oatmeal) masks - Not really are they highly recommended by some YouTubers, they are highly effective. I've used those masks sparingly for quite a while now. And guess what? I love those. They really take away all those dirt and dead skin cells on my face. The aftermath? I feel so renewed and fresh. Personally, I like the clay mask more because washing off seems nicer rather than peeling teehee. Nonetheless, both helps! My thought: Freeman products for the win.

Tresemme shampoo and conditioner - I've been trying out various hair products and yet to find a suitable one for my hair until I met Tresemme. My hair's originally slightly on the dry side, and I'm really worried some shampoos might make it worse or greasier (because hair produces natural oils). Some products can also cause over breakage.  But to my surprise, this particular brand shampoo does help maintain my hair as much as possible. The conditioner is great too. Also, why wouldn't y'all want a bonus nice scent from this two? I don't know about you girls, but finding right products are what I want to highlight.

1. Rexona's anti-transpirant - I put on deodorant before I apply the spray. This anti-transpirant produces a sheer girly smell which I would call feminine. Gets everyone who apply it to feel clean most of the time too.

2. Britney Spears' fantasy perfume - I've been using this over and over again each day because sweet scents are something I like. Basically, I look out for creamy/ rainforest/ flower scents. I think this perfume somehow covers creamy. At least for me... not a big fan for fruits here though.

3. Jorubi aloe vera gel - I used to talk about this but it had been a looong time ago. You can apply the gel if there is ever a little pimple, blemishes or insect bites on you face/hand/even legs. It does help overtime, because I see results. Oh hey, it also depends on how much effort you put in to treat your problematic areas daily. Same goes to treating acne and scars with other pimple creams.

4. Parachute's Jasmine hair oil - I've never heard of this brand but or well. I FEEL SUMMER ON MY HAIR! Okay, so it keeps it cool and silky. You don't have to apply too much because that will result in your hair being oily. Just a drip or two will do dearies. I usually apply the hail oil on the ends because that's where it should be.

Jan - Mar 2014 favorites

This is another thing I'm wanting to share with all of you! Its about the products I love during the various months. It is yet another idea taken from various beauty gurus (or even majority of them). But but but... they usually call it "monthly favorites" which is supposingly done every month. For me, I would preferably want to do it every three months just because I can 'stick' with my favorite product/song forever, like literally, ever.

I thought I would like to share the products I find useful and effective, as well as songs/music I like lately. So... what are we waiting for? Lets proceed on!

Disclaimer: the products owned are bought and considered dearly. They are not sponsored nor posted out for advertising. Just based on personal liking and forked out $$ to pay from my savings.  

BEAUTY;

1. NIVEA 48h deodorant - You might have seen this lying around somewhere before. Or if you're an enthusiastic reader of mine, then you would probably know I posted a picture of this before at one of my back-to-school series. To be specific: here! One thing for sure: this keeps you safe, at least for the whole day, especially when you go for P.E. It keeps your underarms dry and sweat the least as possible. It is also really long-lasting, according to the few times I've observed. It is hereby one of my most loving deodorant among all others I've used. There are different types to choose from but they all benefit one way or another with the same effects.

2. VS's body mist in the name "Amber romance" - First of all, let me just say I LOVE creamy scents!  This is by far one of the most favorite body mist from VS. It has this "creamy" feel to it with a touch of sweetness and feminine. Yes, I do love to drown my whole room with the smell -smirks-.

3. VS's body lotion in the name "frosted magnolia" - Both my mom and me love the flower magnolia because of its pleasant smell and uniqueness. I didn't know lotions were that important until I see the need to hydrate and soak my skin for moisture. After all, no one loves having a skin that is so dry to the point that it is going to peel off, right?

4. Vaseline lip therapy in cherry flavor - There is the original one but I insisted on buying the cherry flavor, thinking "both prices are the same so why not..?" This lip therapy is seriously moisturizing and effective, suitable for dry, chappy lips. It is of a good use under a warm climate like here. Or if you're living in a cold climate too. Whatever varies, lip balms are essential items to me that could be kept inside your handbags.

5. BABYLIPS lip balm - a similar description as the Vasaline one. Moreover, this lip balm has a sweeter smell when applied on lips.

6. Cetaphil facial cleanser/body wash - If I recalled well, the cleanser was also mentioned inside one of my posts, here on the part where I wrote "Tip 1". Yes, I've been a loyal fan for this particular Cetaphil cleanser. It feel so natural when having contact with any parts of your skin. (scent less and liquid white in color) I got the urge to try out upon seeing YouTubers mentioning about it. It was highly-rated then. Moreover, this product is dermatologists tested, which means to say that it don't cause unwanted breakouts or skin allergy. It is written "suitable for all skin types". My skin is more onto a dryer side, just what I'm looking for! Something mild and won't take away all the useful nutrients within my skin. I would want to try their moisturizer someday soon.

FOOD; 

TADAAR! My favorite food for now weehehehehe! Honestly, I thought it wouldn't taste as good as the original one. I was wrong to assume so quickly. By the way, it is in the taste "dark chocolate with chips".
