Hammam Spa, Publika

Hidup membujang macam ni laa kan, bila rasa badan dah banyak daki setebal satu bundle kertas A4, takde orang nak tolong gosokkan. Yelah, nak gosok sendiri, tak berapa nak keluar daki tu. Nak mintak tolong kawan, eh malu pulak nanti nak mandi sama2. Orang Malaysia kan, bukan orang Korea yang memang culture mandi sama2 kat sauna. Nak mintak tolong mak aku, dia dah tak larat.

So sudahnya, pergi spa jelah...eh..motif kat promote macam tu. Actually dah setahun kot aku simpan hajat nak pergi Hammam spa ni tapi asyik delay je. Delay sebab bajet lah, delay sebab takde masa lah, delay sebab location tak ngam lah.

Hammam spa tu ape? Ok, aku tau pasal Hammam pun dari geng traveller yang pergi Istanbul, boleh baca kat sini dan sini. Bila tau tu macam, wow, bestnya! Kalau nak pergi Turkey tu macam lambat lagi kan walaupun teringin tu dah lama, so aku pun riki2 la diorang pasal Hammam bath ni. Rupanya ada dekat KL, tapi dekat Bangsar lah. Since aku tak suka pergi Bangsar, so aku biar jela dulu. Kalau harga Hammam bath dekat Turkey around 15 TL (Turkey Lira). Tapi kat Malaysia tak boleh dapat laa harga tu. Hammam ni ada yang open to public, ada yang private kalau kat Turkey. Kalau public tu, boleh la tengok adegan kau gosok aku, aku gosok kau. Dan biasanya orang tua2 pergi Hammam ni. Wakakaka.

"The Turkish bath, or also known as hammam spa, is a place where the locals visit for a restorative soak or massage. For centuries, the hammam spa was more than just a place to rejuvenate the body as it was also intimately related to the everyday life where people regardless of age and background come freely to have social activities.

The tradition of the Turkish bath extends far back to a time before the Turks reached Anatolia. They brought with them a significant bathing tradition combined with the Romans and Byzantines then merged with the Muslim concept for cleanliness and its concomitant respect for the use of water. This new concept is then called the hammam spa."

Since Hammam ada 2 tempat, satu di Bangsar dan satu lagi di Publika, so dah takde excuse lah kalau tak pergi tu. Kalau kat Bangsar memang tak laaa aku nak pergi, tempat yang always jem dan hazab nak cari parking tu. Yang bestnya, Publika tu dekat dengan rumah aku. So moh ke Publika la kita.

Pergi tempat orang kaya2 ni memang lain sikit, maklumlah, tak biasa. Dalam website, tak tulis pulak dekat block mana Hammam spa ni, memang sesat barat la jawabnyee..sampai ke hujung bangunan aku pergi ha. Rupanya dekat block D2, area bridge warna merah. Kalau korang lalu masuk antara 2 bangunan Publika tu, cari bridge warna merah. According to the receiptionist, bridge warna merah tu maknanya area health and beauty. Kalau korang masuk dari tepi Publika, lepas parking, naik lif level G4. Then cari block D2. Spa ni betul2 dekat bridge warna merah tu.

Dan actually appointment aku pukul 11, tapi aku terlajak tido from 9am sampai 11am, so aku mintak delay pukul 12pm. Nasib baik diorang ok, hehehe.

So lepas hazab cari spa tu, aku pun jumpa laa. Nice ambiance masa first masuk tu, rasa different sikit. Hammam spa ni from Morrocco, bukan Turkey. Ah, belasah jelah, kesah pulak from Morrocco ke Turkey. Akak dah lama ngidam ni ok nak berspa spa bagai. Sempat laa aku complaint pada receiptionist tu, susah nak cari Hammam spa tu. Tipikal Malaysian customer kan, sampai je terus complaint.

First, kena isi form dulu. Dalam form tu, dia tanya customer ada allergic apa2 tak, tengah pregnant ke, first time datang ke. Then pelayan diorang akan brief Hammam Spa ni apa. Since aku dah tau, aku tak excited sangat laa nak tanya apa2, sebab dah tak sabar nak start. Then, kat situ ada laa package dia atau nak buat by per activity pun boleh. Biasanya customer akan ambik package atau lepas session mandi, session massage kan. Tapi, selepas badan aku dilenjan oleh momy Loly hari tu, I think i should give my body rest a bit. Review pasal massage with momy Loly tu nantilah aku buat.

 Aku ambik Hammam & Goomage

Yang ni by package

Selepas pelayan foreigner brief aku ibarat dia hafal skrip, aku dah pilih apa yang aku nak, aku kena proceed to payment first. Then only aku di bawa ke bilik persalinan. Dalam bilik tu, ada almari yang kita boleh simpan segala benda yang kita bawak DAN, pakaian kita. Semua, okay. SEMUA. Diorang bagi kita 1 bathrob, 1 selipar macam crocs tu, 1 disposable bra dan 1 disposable panties. So kita kena tanggal semua pakaian di badan kita. Handphone tak boleh bawak masuk ye. Bukan apa, camne ko nak pegang phone masa mandi nanti. Locker ni pakai security number, bukan kunci. So easy peasy. Jangan lupa nombor password sendiri dahla.

Masa aku bukak pintu bilik persalinan tu, ada laa sorang pompuan ni sapa aku, "Hai, good morning Madam". Aku pun cakap la hai balik kat dia. Aku ingatkan dia orang Turkey, rupanya Morroccoan. Dialah yang akan mandikan aku dan gosok segala daki dibadanku, huhuhu.

Oleh sebab English dia sangat limited, so ada some misunderstanding situation happened. Dia tunjuk kat aku washroom, aku ingat dia suruh aku mandi kat situ. Aku pun blur2 la, bukak baju semua. Lepas tu terpikir, eh, pahal pulak mandi dalam ni je, tak macam dalam website tu pun? Lepas done my small business inside, aku bukak pintu, aku tanya dia, "Shower here?" Dia pun gelabah, cakap, "Eh, no madam, no here. Follow me, follow". Ah, sudah. Kena pakai balik bra and panties disposable tu.

So masuk lah aku ke dalam bilik mandi yang besar ala2 sauna tu, sebab bila masuk rasa panas je. Gelap. Ada 2 area dalam bilik tu, dry area dan wet area. Wet area tu la tempat aku kena dimandikan. Ada 3 marble top yang rupanya macam meja, setiap top tu ada pasu tembikar yang berisi air suam panas sikit2 (macam orang zaman dulu2). Bila dia suruh aku face down (baring) atas marble top, mak aii, panas weyh. Tapi panas lit lit ja baq kata orang Kedah. Andddd, this process is almost naked, okay. Bath rob aku dia letak kat dry area.

Lebih kurang macam nilaa bilik dia. Tu marble top. Picture courtesy from timeout.com

Since english dia limited, susah jugak la aku nak faham apa dia cakap mula2 tu. Tapi lepas tu, tak susah dah, balik2 dia cuma cakap - face up, face down, stand of, sit down. Then "you okay?". Itu jelah proses nya - face up, face down. Face down tu maknanya meniarap la, face up tu maknanya baring laa.

Mula, dia akan jirus air suam panas lit lit tu kat badan aku yang tengah meniarap. Rasa panas sikit, tapi rasa lega. Lepas tu dia sapu badan aku dengan sejenis minyak yang sedap sangat bau dia. Satu badan okay dia sapu. Aku time dia suruh face down tu ok lagi, tapi masa dia suruh face up tu la....pffttt...segannyeee lah hai. So untuk kurangkan rasa awkward tu, aku tanya laa dia asal mana, dah berapa lama kerja Malaysia. Dia muka rilex je, dah keje dia kan. Aku laa segan tak memasal.

Lepas proses lumur minyak di badan, dia akan mandikan pulak. Lepas mandikan, dia sapu pulak sejenis sabun yang pun, sedap sangat bau dia. Eeiii, sukalah! Lagi sedap dari bau minyak aromatheraphy. Pun satu badan dia sapu. Lepas sapu tu, dia tinggalkan aku sorang2 dalam bilik mandi tu around 5 minit. Masa sorang2 tu, aku rasa macam aku ni mayat yang kena mandi jenazah pulak. Yelah, duk baring kat atas top tu almost naked. Dan cara dia mandikan aku tu macam mandi jenazah. Cuma nasib baik bezanya ada part dia suruh aku berdiri atau duduk. Oh, ya! Kalau datang dengan kawan2 or family, korang akan kena mandi sekali. Sebab dalam bilik mandi tu ada 3 marble top kan. Imagine laa aku mandi dengan member2 aku..mak aiii....sebulan tak jumpa agaknya, malu gila dowh. Actually masa dia tinggalkan aku tu, nak bagi liang2 kulit aku terbukak, so senang dia nak sental daki keluar nanti. Pada firasat aku laa.

Around 5 minit lepas tu, dia masuk dengan glove warna biru di tangan. Glove tu lah yang akan digunakan untuk menyental segala jenis daki di badanku. Glove tu kasar macam sponge hijau yang kau guna untuk sental kerak dekat periuk atau kuali okay. Takde laa sakit sangat. So, bila dia suruh aku face down, dia start sental daki aku kat belakang badan. Paling suka part dia sental upper body la, habis keluar segala mak nenek daki. Daki2 tu pulak macam sisa getah pemadam yang kita guna untuk padam tulisan tu. Terbaik weyh.

Paling takleh blah masa dia sental dalam keadaan aku face up laa. Aku ni ada area2 yang aku geli sikit, so aku tahan je dari nak gelak masa dia sental tu. Kalau aku gelak karang, hilang mood nanti. Dia confirm akan gelak sekali. Macam aku gelak masa momy Loly urut aku hari tu. Malu weyh.

Aktiviti sental menyental dan mandi tu berlangsung dalam more than 30 minutes. Session yang aku ambik basic je, Hammam bath je dalam 45 minutes. Masa dia mandikan aku tu, rasa macam baby ada, rasa macam permaisuri pun ada. Aku just baring, bangun, duduk, tu je. Permaisuri pun agaknya mandi sendiri. Lol. Memang dia mandikan betul2, from head to toe. Dia gosok, dia sabunkan. Kalau nak dia syampukan rambut kita, pun boleh, boleh request. Sebab tu include sekali dalam bayaran. Syampu yang dia pakai tu dari minyak rosemarry, sedap nyelah weyh.....I love Morrocco!

Cuma kena tahan laa masa dia dah cabut disposable bra kau. Dia dah tengok semua weyh, habis dia sapu celah2 tu. Eh, malu aku pun ntah pergi mana dah sebab rasa best dengan bau2 minyak yang dia pakai tu. Plus, mandi air suam panas lit lit lagi. Nasib aku baik sebab takde orang lain dalam bilik mandi tu :D

Dah habis mandi, awek Morocco tu keringkan badan aku dengan towel, balut kepala dengan towel semua. Lepas dia pakaikan bathrobe tu, aku follow dia ke bilik rehat. Since aku takde ambik massage apa2, aku just rehat jela dalam bilik yang dihiasi lampu Turkey style tu dengan muzik yang relax diorang pasang. Awek tu datang balik kat aku, sambil bawak compliments, baklova dan Moroccoan tea yang sedap sangat ada rasa mint. Pelayan situ kata home made. Baklova pun sedap. Semua sedap T_T Me sooo like!!

                                                   Picture courtesy from tripadvisor.com

Dalam Hammam spa ni ada banyak bilik, macam bilik untuk massage, mandi dan rehat. Semua jenis massage ada, nak massage badan boleh, nak massage kaki boleh. Hulur duit je.

Lepas rehat dalam 20 minit, aku bangun nak balik sebab takut tertido kat situ. Actually, nak tido sekejap pun boleh, sampai malam pun boleh. Tapi jangan laa sampai tak nak balik kan. Lepas salin baju semua tu kat bilik persalinan, aku pun keluar pergi kat receiption area. Oh ya! Dalam bilik persalinan ada hair dryer, cotton buds, kapas semua. Just use them if you want okay.

Sebelum keluar, kena isi form feedback dulu. Lepas tu pelayan tu tanya aku macamana, okay tak? Best tak? Mestilah best, rasa fresh kot lepas keluar. Kulit rasa bersih sangat, shining lagi. No more daki2. Nanti dah kaya, aku nak ambik package pulak plus massage. Gituuuu :P

Since Hammam spa ni unik, different experience dan tak banyak lagi kat Malaysia ni, why dont you give a try? ;)

Trip Advisor Review

Jangan Tahan Kencing!

Hoih! Dah lama gila tak tulis any entry lepas holiday mood balik Korea kan. Takkan nak tunggu balik Krabi nanti (April, Insya Allah :) ) baru nak update kan? Aku ni bukan je blogger pemalas, update pun ikut mood. Moody blogger pun ye, lol.

Hari ni saje nak cerita pasal aku pergi ambik result medical checkup yang aku buat on my birthday tahun lepas, almost sebulan dah baru nak pergi ambik result. Tu pun almost give up bila kena pusing 2, 3 kali untuk cari parking yang nan hado, dengan jalan around the hospital jem yang hazab. Tapi bila memikirkan membazir je kalau pergi sia2, so aku sabar la jugak

Ingat ke pergi then ambik, terus balik. Rupanya kena jumpa doktor jugak for counselling session. Masa tu perut aku memang dah menjerit2 sebab tak breakfast lagi, just minum Nescafe. Menggigil bila pagi2 ambik kafein tapi tak makan apa2. Rasa macam nak telan kambing sekor pun ada.

Tengah duk layan internet, nama aku pun dipanggil untuk masuk ke bilik doktor. Dia check pernafasan aku dulu, tanya soalan sikit2 dan dia briefing pasal summary of medical checkup. Bagus jugak Hospital Pantai Cheras ni. Before this aku buat medical checkup kat tempat lain, takde pun briefing2 detail about the result. Aku macam dah berdebar dah, sebab cara doktor tu cakap macam aku di suspect ada penyakit sesuatu. Tiba2 takut.

Doktor tu nama dia Doktor Nurul. Dia briefing aku very detail about the summary, siap bagi ilmu free lagi kat aku. Nak bagi aku faham punya pasal, siap conteng2 lagi atas result medical checkup tu. Aku tak kisah, malah suka pulak bila tengok kesungguhan dia menerangkan pada aku tentang darah, kalsium, kolestrol, dan ilmu2 pasal perubatan yang aku tak tau apa2. Dia pun tak berkira bila aku tanya something or anything yang takde kena mengena dengan summary tu. Kagum. Dapat ilmu free aku hari ni. Suka sangat.

Dia kata paras kolestrol dalam darah aku ok, cuma kolestrol baik sangat rendah, eh, kolestrol baik? Apakah?

Doc : Total kolestrol awak ok, cuma kolestrol baik terlalu rendah. Kena increase kan.
Me : Kolestrol baik? So makanan apa yang saya kena ambik, doc?
Doc : Bukan makanan, kena exercise.
Me : .............................................

Asyik ingat nak makannnnn je kan. Exercise tak ingat. Lol


Then kata dia lagi, urine aku sedikit kotor, which is aku tak tau kenapa. Mula2 doktor ingatkan masa aku checkup tu, aku tengah period or baru habis period. Bila aku check balik period schedule aku, aku belum period lagi masa tu, almost nak period. Then doktor Nurul tanya, ada tahan kencing tak? Aku cakap ye, ada. Lately habit buruk aku ialah aku suka tahan kencing. Even takde benda pun yang urgent, tapi aku tahan jugak dan sengaja lengah - lengahkan. Even aku minum banyak air. Doktor Nurul siap lukis bagi aku tengok, kenapa bila aku selalu tahan kencing, aku akan dapat kencing kotor. Dia kata sebab jarak pundi kencing orang perempuan ni pendek je.So kalau ditahan2, air kencing yang bertakung tu akan mudah dijangkiti bakteria bila dah penuh. Oo...camtu ceritanya ...

Yang lain2, Alhamdulillah, normal. Risau jugak, at the age of 30 ni, tetibe aku suspect ada sakit jantung ke, kencing manis ke, darah tinggi ke. Maklumlah, lately makan tak jaga dan badan dah naik 500gm, tambah pulak sometimes aku pening2 kepala. Signal badan dah makin berat, hahaha. Buah pinggang dengan hati pun okay. Doc Nurul bagitau lagi, selalunya orang yang konsisten ambik jamu dan makanan tambahan berisiko ada failure kat dua organ ni sebab jamu dan makanan tambahan (supplemen la kot) mengandungi steroid. Sebab tu dia kata biasanya orang yang ambik jamu akan rasa cergas lepas ambik, tu kesan daripada steroid la.

Doc : Kidney dengan liver awak okay, takde masalah. Biasanya orang yang ambik jamu or supplemen tambahan akan ada masalah sikit kat dua organ ni.
Me : Tapi bukan ke orang kata makan jamu tu bagus, doc? Buat panas badan and bagi tambah tenaga?
Doc : Orang yang makan jamu rasa segar sebab dalam jamu tu ada steroid. Steroid tu yang bagi rasa cergas.
Me : Oo...dah kalau camtu, kalau dah kawin nanti, nak kena makan apa kalau tak cergas?
Doc : Exercise.
Me : ....................................................exercise lagi ......

Dan Doc Nurul advise kat aku, tak perlu every year buat X-Ray sebab X-Ray ni radiasi. Terdedah kepada radiasi adalah tak bagus. Dia nasihatkan kalau rasa perlu je buat, kalau rasa everything ok, tak payah buat. Dia tak galakkan every time nak medical checkup, buat X-Ray. Unless kalau syarat nak mintak kerja or apa2 yang compulsory to do.

Ok, tu jelah nak cerita. Lepas ni aku update entry pasal makan2 pulak.
Chow!

Skin Food Review 2

I started to love Skin Food since my first purchase around last year. Now, almost 1 year I became a loyal consumer of SK. The products suit me well from facial wash until body wash, I love them all.

Dan kalau beli banyak2 sekaligus, beside dapat cop on card, akan dapat sample kecik2 macam ni which is sangat suka sebab can try first before purchase the real one. Plus, bagus dan sangat berguna jugak bila nak pergi travel sebab less space to put in bag dan tak payah risau kalau terpecah ke atau terbocor.
 

 Hahaha...sorry sebab tak tau kenapa gambar ni jadi terbalik, but this is what I got when purchase SK products around early in this year.

 From top :
1) Peach Sake Pore Pact Compact Powder = Excellent (5/5) RM57.90
2) Fresh Apple Mask Sheet = So so (free gift)
3) Strawberry Black Sugar Mask = Amazing (3.5/5)
4) Hop Beer Shampoo = Not suit me :(
5) Black Bean Nose Patch = Excellent (5/5)

Left : Kiwi Yogurt Mask Wash Off = Love it especially when apply on the face after keep it in the fridge (3/5)
Right : Carrot Collagen Eye Sheet = So so

 Skin Food never out of free sample :)

 Currently am using Gold Kiwi Toner, and its just so so for me. But I love Omija Whitening Emulsion! Rating  4/5. All the small boxes are free gift, contain toner and serum.

 From top ;

Aloe Vera BB Cream = Perfect! I love this BB cream! Even I rarely apply (only when need to do heavy makeup for special occasion), it gives a perfect shade after I apply makeup. Rating 5/5.
Others = Black Sugar Perfect First Serum, Watery Berry Toner & Serum, Gold Kiwi range & Omija Whitening range. All of these are samples and I get for free :)

 I bought Peach Sake Pore Serum to give it a try. I love its smell, so lovely. Rating 3/5

 Buckwheat Loose Powder, I love this one also. Perfecto for combination skin like me. 

Rating 4/5

 From left ;
Quince Whitening Sun Lotion SPF34 = Love it, can last long until 1 year (3.5/5)
Lime Curl Up Essence = Love the smell (3/5)
Egg White Patch Peel Off = So so
Fresh Apple Toner = Amazing! (4/5)
Egg White Pore Foam = Excellent! (5/5)
Argan Oil Silk Hair Essence = Excellent! (5/5)

I apply Argan Oil Silk Hair Essence right after hair routine weekly - Conditioner, Mask and Essence. Rambut jadi lembut keesokan harinya lepas apply all night . While Egg White Pore Foam sangat perfect untuk oily skin, memang puas hati after 1 week pakai.

Free gift that I got during new branch opening in Paradigm Mall, love them all!

Skin Food Review

I have been addicted to Skin Food lately.
Every time I bumped into Skin Food shop, I always seeking out their products that I would like to try in future.

What my friend and I love about Skin Food, beside the product range itself?

There is always, A LOT OF FREE GIFT!

Yes, the product in small packaging are free gift that my friend got when she first time bought Skin Food products. Cleanser and face mask samples ;D

This is not the first time I bought Skin Food product, but this time was above RM50. And the below picture is what I got as free gift ;D

I start with my most favorite first, Black Bean Nose Pack.
I LOVE THIS PRODUCT, MOST PERFECT NOSE PATCH I EVER USE!
Rating : 5/5, MOST RECOMMENDED!
Ah, ya! make sure your nose is fully wet before patch this product, ok because it will give you 100% satisfy. And remove the patch after 10 - 15 minutes. Wash the residue left with water or toner.
And I will keep continue using this product until I find something better than this ;D
1 box contains 7 pieces of patch. I use once a week. Sooo worth it!

2. Apple Mango Soft Essence Wax (100 ml)
This product can last (based on daily use) around 6 months.
Rating : 3/5. I love it, especially the smell!

The Free Gift Review

1. Aloe Vera Foam Cleanser - review here
2. Rice Mask Wash Off - review here
3. Black Sugar Mask Wash Off - review here
additional : I started to LOVE this product. As everytime I use (after scrub the face), I feel a lot of different, my skin becomes more smooth.
4. Sparkling Pore Gift Set - review here
5. Water Berry Toner, Emulsion and Serum
Rating : 2/5. Just okay.
6. Gold Kiwi Sun Cleanser, Gold Kiwi Toner, Gold Kiwi Serum, Gold Kiwi Emulsion and Gold Kiwi Cream
Rating : 3/5. I love the cleanser! Recommended the cleanser range.
7. Salmon Brightening Eye Cream
Rating : 2/5. Just okay.
8. Black Egg Pore Gel Base & Black Egg Pore Primer
Rating : 3/5.
I love the Gel Base. I use this gel base after apply my day cream and before apply the foundation.
I am not very sure about the primer, but you can use it after day cream and before apply gel base. It gives kind of smooth feel. But when I try to apply the primer first, then only apply day cream, it gave my face look blushing and more smooth. But I do think that is not the correct way.

I look forward to try more products of Skin Food. Will review them soon.
Till then, happy reading ;D

Fashionista - How Do You Look?

Hi all!

I just finish reading Amber Chia's book. Eh, not because I want to be a model. I really like to know her journey to the success. Successful people always inspiring me, especially when they came from low income family.

Some of the quotes from Amber Chia that I love ;

"Sexy is okay. Nudity is not. There's a fine line between sexy and slutty."

"A stylist can make a decent-looking model look beautiful, but no one can make her professional, except for the model herself."

"Focus on being a very good model. Then aim to be a successful model."

"People are always curious about the reason behind my enduring career. I tell them it is thanks to the many failures I have had in the past."

The thing that I agree with Amber Chia is, the professional attitude that bring her where she is, now. You can find many tips and experience she share in this book. Useful even for those who do not have intention to be a model.

Enjoy below videos! ;D

Skin Food Range

I would like to make review about Skin Food Products that for the first time I have tried.

Actually, I accidently tried this products when one of my colleague want to buy these products, and luckily, she and me got few free gift because of purchase more than RM300!!

Owh, I didnt buy anything, but still got free gift. That is the best part! ;D

Here are the free gift I got ;

Clock wise ;

1. Chlorella Nose Clear Patch
Soooo perfect!! I love this nose patch, it works well to remove the black spot and also the white spot. Currently, I continue buy this nose patch after first try. The price for 1 piece is about RM2.50 (need to check the exact price again) and for 1 month stocks, I buy about 4 or 5 pieces. Rating : Recommended!!

2. Sparkling Pore Gift Set
Hurm ... contains toner and emulsion for oily skin. I just use the toner, and the emulsion still yet to finish. Rating : Hurm ... you can try if you want :)

3. White Grape Fresh Foundation & White Grape Fresh Base
These 2 are soo cool! First, use the WG Fresh Base (green color), then apply WG Freash Foundation. These 2 run smoothly on your skin before you apply compact powder and I must say I like these 2! Rating : Should give a try! ;D

4. Black Sugar Mask Wash Off
If you want to try something different for you face mask, you can try these - black sugar on your face. Its a bit sticky, but once you rinse off, you will find your face feel smooth. Rating : You can try if you want something new :)

5. Rice Mask Wash Off
I remember "bedak sejuk" when using these mask. Feeling so traditional, but in modern way. Rating : Cool for people that like to use "traditional" product but in modern way :)

Best For Your Skin

On last January 2012, I decided to try this EPO after one of my friend recommended to me. She mentioned to me that her friend  has been taking these EPO for several years, and not to denied, her skin looks blushing and I can say - beautiful!

So I decided to buy the Kordel's EPO 1000gm per capsule and take 2 capsules per day. That is after lunch and after dinner. It cost RM80 for these 3 bottles! So worth it! It can last long for 1 year!

After about 10 months take the EPO, for the first time I receive compliment from a promoter. She said my skin looks blushing and asked if I do take any vitamins? I said I just take EPO. And I got another compliments after that, one my colleague said that my skin looks better now, and more blushing. Oh, I guess it is because EPO?

EPO actually is for women that having problem with period pain. But if you have no problem about period pain, the EPO will works for your skin or hair. If you want to see the effect, I do recommend you to take EPO for at least 6 months and above and must be, discipline. Just 2 capsules per day is enough.

I like to try something new. And now, I am taking this vitamins. It is also for skin, but more expensive! With promo package, its worth RM132 for 2 bottles. It can last for 2 months, with 1 tablet taken per day. I take this L-Glutathione Plus as for my wedding preparation. Yes, finally! ;D

Let see how these LGP works for me after 2 months straight!

My New Hair Regime

"Is your hair dry and 

needs nourishment 

and smoothness?

I saw this question on a branded shampoo travel package in Watsons.

I dont have this kind of problem, before.

Before I regularly use hair dryer.

Before I always using many kind of hair products and brands.

After almost a year, the problem now became more worst.

Actually, I plan to get advice from hair saloon expert.

But why not I try this brand first?

I have saw my sis in law using this brand for a long time, and she still stick with it.

Okay, then I decided to buy.

 I never saw this brand come with travel package set, so I think its worth to buy as a 1st trial.

What more exciting, as Watsons membership cardholder, I got unexpected discount!

Woot!

Only RM3.

Ops! I remember I have bought Loreal hair mask before.

But not so working as I think I'm not using all the same product regime.

So here it is, the full package ;

Cost :

Travel pack (shampoo and conditioner, both 80ml) = RM8.90

Serum (150ML) = RM29.80

Mask (1 paket 15ml x 5) = about RM11 - RM12 I guess .. sorry, not so remember :(

Total cost = RM50.60

The travel pack so far, I have used for almost 1 week but still have more balance. 

So I guess it can last long for 2 weeks.

For the serum, I only use 2 pumps, twice a week so far, so it will take sooooooo long time to finish ;D

And for the mask, I love it when they pack into small packets (that's good for 1st trial). 1 box contains 5 packets while 1 packets can be used for twice. So it can be last for 5 - 10 weeks. That is more than 1 month.

What I Usually Bring During Outstation?

Simple title there.
Yes, what I usually bring when I outstation?
Erm .. not much, just the basic sanitary things.

Ini kalau tanya orang perempuan laa, kalau tanya orang lelaki, memang tak sama langsung.
I have a friend that would bring ANYTHING during outstation.
ANYTHING - lotion, scrub, mask, conditioner, big perfume bottle, etc.
But end up, not using all stuff, just the basic one.
Buat apa nak beratkan beg, lepas tu nak gendong lagi kalau outstation tak sampai seminggu kan?
But you know, itulah perempuan ;D

So, this are the stuff I usually bring during outstation ;

Toner, perfume (small or medium bottle), baby powder (I love baby powder), shower foam, deodorant (wajib .. huhuhu), shampoo (hotel didnt provide anti dandruff shampoo, so I need to bring my own), UV cream, and tooth brush & tooth paste.

And its compulsory for me not to left this thing.

Even most hotel provide the hair dryer, but I found that the hair dryer not so powerful ... I comfort using mine :)

Baju untuk Dinner

Aku tengah pening nak cari baju untuk dinner office nanti, yelah, dinner tak lama dah, tapi tak tau nak pakai baju apa kan.
First time dinner office aku teruja sebegini tau..ok, sebelum ni tak teruja sebab dulu office lain, sekarang ofice lain.
Usha2 blog jubah kaftan kat google, terjumpa satu blog ni yang baju2 nya cantik2 sangat :)
Dan memang macam yang aku nak lah.
Inilah blog nye - Women Boutique.

Kat sini aku ambik sikitlah gambar2 baju yang aku rasa sangat cantik dan sesuai untuk dipakai malam dinner nanti. Gambar2 adalah dari blog Women Boutique and credit to them coz almost all dress are so beautiful!!

 

oh, suka! sangat cantik!!

 

mesti ada satu dalam almari! huhuhu

tak boleh tahan!!

 

Tema dinner kali ni ialah Blink Blink and Glamz.

Kalau nak blink blink, kena tambah aksesori laa kan.

Dan aku suka jubah kaftan kat bawah ni, memang kena sangat laa dengan theme Glamz kan, cuma part blink blink tu nak kena tambah cost untuk aksesori laa...

 

Oh, sangat suka yang ni!!! Tak tahan, cantik!!!

Range price adalah dalam RM150 hingga RM200+/-.

Tapi agak mengecewakan sebab tuan punya blog holiday panjang sampai July, sedangkan dinner aku adalah pada 1st of July. Sedih :(

So, nak kena usha kat tempat lain untuk jubah kaftan ala2 macam gambar kat atas ni, dan aku plan nak tambah aksesori kat kepala untuk bagi blink2. Kelasss kau!!

Aku teruja nak attend dinner office nanti. So, nanti aku buat entry untuk malam tu ok! ;)
