Boost Hydration: 5 Hydrating Lotions and Serums I love that work (and are mostly affordable!)

1 Comment

While I’m at that age when products labeled as ‘anti-aging’ grabs my attention, my primary concern isn’t so much ‘aging’ as it is hydration.

It is my personal experience and belief (non-professional) that keeping skin well hydrated helps it look better, and even to function better and heal more quickly from blemishes.

However, I don’t seek out very heavy formula. Instead, I opt to layer my skincare, sandwiching thin layers of potent hydration, to build that buffer.

In my time therefore, as many of you have oft-reminded me in person and online, I have tried numerous products. Yes, if you’ve read a review here on my blog, it’s gone on my face LOL! 😀

And there are products that I return to over and over, or will recommend, because they are just that good at their job.

Today, we talk about Hydration, and I’ll share 5 hydrating lotions and serums that work. And not only work, they work incredibly well! 😀

Touted as the Rolls Royce of facial mists, does Josh Rosebrook Hydrating Accelerator live up to its reputation?

Leave a Comment

Ever since I became more than a little obsessed with using facial mists, I’d come across mention of the Josh Rosebrook Hydrating Accelerator. It has been touted as pretty much being the Rolls Royce of facial mists.

Naturally, I was curious.

What was so great about this product, that so many people rave over it? It isn’t something you see talked about locally (Malaysia) because it’s not available here, and because it is pricey.

But overseas, among skincare afficionados, Josh Rosebrook Hydrating Accelerator is spoken of in hushed, almost reverent tones. Well, I had to see what the fuss was about! 😀

EcoMINIM Eco-friendly detergent promises to be tough on dirt but kind to your skin and safe for kids

The last time I shared some cleaning products with you, it was one of the most toxic materials known to mankind, as many were quick to point out to me. It did the job, but it probably shaved off a few months of my life doing it.

I can’t say I’m terribly proud of using it, but I needed something to do the job, and it did. Sometimes, you just need that.

Other times, you can usually find me roaming the detergent and household cleaning aisles, looking for the next newest miracle worker on stains and dirt LOL I’m afraid my interests vary far beyond just beauty, my friends!

I love trying out new, more environmentally friendly household cleaners, of which there are now many in the market. Brands like Method or Ecover will likely be quite familiar to most of us by now.

But let me tell you instead about a homegrown, Malaysian-made and manufactured brand – EcoMinim Eco-friendly Detergent and Household cleaners 🙂

Try the One Minute Rule for greater productivity and a more clutter-free home

13 Comments

I shared about my useful one tip to corral clutter a while ago. I’m notoriously bad about picking up after myself, which doesn’t quite bode well for living in a clutter-free home.

A few weeks ago, I went for a house-viewing, and I was stunned at how well-kept it was. It was neat, tidy and everything was in its place. There was no stray bits of clutter lying around. Everything looked deliberate and it was beautiful. And CLEAN!

I was inspired.

So I returned home, and for the next few weeks, I started picking up after myself a little better. I still kept my landing strip, except I’d cleared it out more.

I started making it a point to run the vacuum more regularly (The Roomba iRobot is a dream!) and clean the floor more often. I started picking up after myself.

And then I came across an interesting concept – the One Minute Rule. I was intrigued and inspired.
