April's Favourite


April is a busy month - at least for me. I don’t really fancy this month cause no public holidays. T_________T How do you see if a person is lazy? People like me who always dream of having more holidays. =="

Since there isn't much happening this month but just home-stayed with internet browsing during weekends. I managed to stumbled upon this Daily Dose of Prettiness. It is a beauty edu-tainment (so-called from the website introduction) site featuring hair + makeup how-to's, nail trends, skincare, tools and many more. 

TheBeautyDepartment.com
Beauty tutorial no longer seems lifeless like how you read them from magazines but with Thebeautydepartment.com; you find creative attributes through social networks namely Youtube, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and also Pintrest (aside from the website itself)

Max love this hair tutorial posted via Instagram 

I even found some floral hair-do that I could plan for Huey's Hen's night.We were thinking of doing some lovely/spring theme party but yet to decide. Still planning in progress.... :-)



It's a fun site to explore. Go check them out!! ^_^

Even this tutorial on  how to make floral water

Hermo.my ~ I Heart You ~

Randomly browsed through a few of my favourite blogs and found about Hermo. At first I thought, must be another just normal website that sells beauty stuff. From my past experience, online websites were not all good as I've experienced some that did not provide real good services and could be pricey as well. 


Hermo.my website
However, Hermo amazed me. Aside from their attractive home page, they do offers products at a very affordable price, with most international and haul items. Another plus would be, they have daily deals with additional discounts on item already considered cheap from market retail price. What a 'steal'!!! It literally makes me visiting the website like almost every day. 


Hermo also offers gift box and gift packs
My purchase was this range of sheet masks called Leaders Insolution. I always try to search around in Malaysia to stock this range of masks, mentioned on my previous entry - LEADERS but sadly they are not easily available. Even when I found one, it costs much more than when I purchased them overseas (when I travel, I stock up beauty products)

Tadah!! Here's my purchase!! Love it...
Aside to this, Hermo has many others beauty products namely SK II, Laneige, Nature Republic, Etude House, Estee Lauder, Kose, Lancome, YADAH and so on.. To many to name already... 


This is one of my favourite - Mask Combination Box
I am considering this package - Mask Combination Box for my next purchase. Hermo will pack 10 pieces in their designed box. We can choose variety of masks in this box - face or eye masks. Check this out. These are all haul masks from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Korea :-)


Happy me with my favourite masks!!!

Hello... Good Morning ~ Levain Boulangerie & Patisserie ~

We all know that breakfast is a very important thing. No matter how busy we would be, breakfast - the first meal of the day should not be missed. There is a saying that goes, "Eat breakfast like a King, Lunch like a Queen and Dinner like a beggar" . It means that we should eat a lot for breakfast, moderate for lunch and lesser for dinner (this indirectly helps to control your weight)

On weekdays, I have limited to prepare myself for a self-made breakfast. Hence, I usually have a cup of oat with milk or Milo. I will then eat some bread at the office. However, on weekends, I tend to prepare something more filling and tasty (at least for me).  

Oat, Orange juice and home-made wan tan mee with vege only
I am looking for some wooden utensils like the food prepared by Gastro;the restaurant mentioned earlier. Gotta search them at Daiso... Hehe

Bread with butter and blackcurrent jam with croissant & oat milk
Maggie mee with lots of vege and sausages
This is super healthy - Strawberries
Hope that I will get the chance to eat sweet strawberries on my trip to Korea end of this year. What we have here are mostly sour. I ended up dipped them in honey to minus the sourish taste. 

Levain boulangerie. patisserie
I went to KL with my bestie, Ai Ling last January. Our purpose is to shop for H&M and Uniqlo (not available at Penang at that point of time) On our final day, our host brought us to Levain Boulangerie & Patisserie. 

This is located off Jalan Imbi and they served french-style bakery and cafe where I find all the pastry were so tempting. I didn't manage to take lots of pictures of it as I am too hungry at that time :-( 


Our orders
I literally took a lot of food and put them back after I realize it too much. I am not going to finish it. Haha...

The fruit salad (mango,lettuce,raspberry,strawberry and blueberry) came with sauce where I mixed it with the fruits. There is the chocolate mouse that I shared with Ai Ling. I missed it lots...

Anyway, check out their web page for more info - Levain Check out how the bread is made and how cosy the place is. I don't mind to have this kind of breakfast everyday.. LOL

I want to go back there again... Oh yes!!!

Hair Care ~ Panasonic Ionity Hair Dryer and Liese Super Hard Hairspray

Going out for dinner in 2 hours time. Worry of flyaway hair, unruly hair, frizzy hair, curls that went straight after one hour - I don't like all of these. 

My solution is Panasonic Ionity Hair Dryer. I need to use a dryer every time after washing my hair. Thus, this is good for me. It has a healthy quick drying nozzle. Comes with 1600W and has cool mode, 2 speed settings and a foldable handle - which is also great for travel.



I read in VIVI magazine - October issue and learn from it on how to blow dry our hair. With the correct techniques, we will be looking very pretty. :-) If you have beautiful make-up and dresses but unruly hair, you wouldn't look presentable and pleasant at all. 
This is from Vivi Magazine
Aside from Vivi, I read and learn different technique from Panasonic website as well...

Go read them here - Beauty Care

Favourite item on my shopping list now!!
Aside from hair dryer, shampoo, conditioner and mask is equally important. If we perm, colour or straighten our hair, without any hair care, we are killing them softly =="

Ta-dah!!! My hair care collection :-)

Current style - we are very much into Japanese styles and you could see the styles are having them thick at the bottom. Gone are those thin and limp hair. 

In order to minimize myself looking like a "lioness", I option for straightening shampoo that minimize frizz. One of my favourite is this "DAY by DAY hair fitness". My hair looks great every time after shampoo and mask. Once a week, I will option for Deep Cleansing Shampoo from Tresemme that remove sebum, dirt and oil on my scalp. And on alternate days, I will use my Satinique shampoo and conditioner. 

As for Ma Cherie shampoo, still could not get it from Penang yet. I only have the travel size and it so loved that I don't want to finish it so soon... Haha... 

This is Ena Matsumoto hair style (EMODA producer) I took from her Instagram
Since my hair is not long enough for curls,  I am experimenting it on my friends hair instead. 

With Thong and Liese Super Hard Hairspray
Curly hair on special occasion will make you looking extra gorgeous. With a thong and Liese Super Hard Hairspray, you are ready to go.

Pretty or not? I did it for her...
This is on my sis - Casual hair do
Did a waterfall braid for her... 
My sis pretty hair lately - She looks like having a unicorn tail.. Haha
I bought Liese from Singapore last year. Still not available in Malaysia after waiting for so long. This hair spray really works wonder. Your curls would stay put and it minimize fly-away too. 

Two range - Super Hard & Free Arrange
I realize I super love Japanese stuff. Hahaha... I even drive a Japanese car... We wouldn't love if they are not good right?? Hehe...

Anyway, one last picture of myself and my hair!!! LOL...


Not that frizz right?? Haha.. 

Cycling Day


Today!!! It's a very cooling day... It has been raining since midnight and haven't stop ever since... Even though I love this kind of weather, I am thankful that it did not rained two weeks ago.

It's because.....

I went for cycling around heritage town in Penang... ^-^

With buddies 
I haven’t been doing for years!!! The most amazing part was I did it early in the morning when the sun has not risen – and its Saturday!!

How could this be me??? LOL… I am actually proud of myself ^_^

The wall is decorated with artistic pictures
Another group picture... I am not really familiar with places and I could tell how bad my sense of direction is... It's good that I joined the group for some town tour in my bicycle.

Most of the heritage place have the walls painted in artistic pictures. I got to know that the artists are using good quality of colours that would neither stain nor destroy the heritage walls.

One more of the artist design.. Superb nice!! 
I rented a small bicycle for a petite person like me... Haha. It cost us RM 10 per bicycle per day. Sounds reasonable to me though. 

One of my favourite picture!!! 
This is me with my besties!! Super love this picture... 


We headed to Chew jetty for some photo shoot. Saw some nice place for selca. I tried to do my full split but mission failed!! I haven't been working on the split for a while. Lol...

Anyway, need more practice for a better picture next time.
Look at the sun (you need to ignore my failed post here!! LOL)
After the activities, we went food hunting. Searching for Penang famous - Laksa, Char Koay Teow, Chendol, Ice-Kacang and many more!! 

Remember to eat them all when you are coming to Penang!!! 

Till then, Buh Bye!!!
