I had another giveaway planned for today but its going to be a bit delayed. Still, lets not let a good celebration go to waste eh? 😀
I have 2 reasons for running a giveaway today:-
- Its Malaysia’s National Day so we’re having a public holiday – yay! 😀
- I posted my 1000th post yesterday charting up yet another blogging milestone – yay!
Also, L’oreal Paris turned 100 this year and this Grand old French Dame celebrated her centennary with a bang! I wasn’t there at the party but the kind people at L’oreal sent me a care package of their most recent star products.
I love them dearly but I couldn’t possibly use all the goodies! So I decided I’d spread the love. Nothing better than sharing a good thing eh? 🙂
One lucky reader will receive a boxful of L’oreal products valued at at least RM200 consisting of:-
- L’Oreal White Perfect Gentle Moisturizing Day Cream SPF20
- L’Oreal White Perfect Transparent Rosy Whitening Double Essence
- L’Oreal Double Extension Beauty Tubes Mascara
- L’Oreal White Perfect Pearl powder foundation G7 – Golden Caramel
- L’Oreal StudioLine Curl Power Mousse for hair
How to win? Read on.
How to participate?
I’m all about feeling positive – its my new philosophy in life – and I do try to find something positive in every day. Just getting to the office on time without encountering slow traffic is positive enough for me! 🙂

the nicest thing that happened to me this week was having my younger sis n 2 younger bros bunk in my place over the weekend!
its a bit sad that i had to turn down two invitations for berbuka (with my hubby’s schoolmates, n one, with my own coursemates), but still it was such fun having my siblings together 😀
The best thing that had happened to me this week is having 3 days off straight! 😀 And it feels so good to be at home. We don’t get this kind of long hols every time!
BTW, congrats on you 1K posts! 😀
Congratulations on notching another milestone 🙂
So refreshing to see a contest that revolves around optimism and positive things XD
~ What’s the nicest thing to happen to you this past week?
Well, my grandmother has been hospitalized this past week and as she’s not used to hospital food, my family’s in charge of bringing her home cooked meals thrice daily.
There was this day where we were running late for grandma’s meal time, laden with bags of utilities which we needed to bring to her, and frantically trying to catch the lift. A kind employee at the hospital was patient enough to hold open the lift door for us when he saw us. On top of that, there was none of the grouchiness we tend to associate with Malaysians in the service industry.
Instead, although we were at the receiving end of assistance, we were rewarded with a friendly smile. Amidst all the stress and anxiety of having a loved one hospitalized, this employee’s act of kindness was a reminder that Malaysians can be really good Samaritans too 🙂
The nicest thing? Well, I celebrated my birthday and today, I celebrated my wife’s birthday. Spending time with wife and kids is priceless and pushing my little one on the swing and seeing her smiling gleefully really made my day 😀
aside, 1000th post! You’re amazing!
The nicest things that happened to me this week was i got the makeup set I wanted.
Q: What’s the nicest thing to happen to you this past week?
A: finally found the right medication for my mother! She is a type b diabetic whose sugar level has been out of control ever since switching to insulin early this year. After going through 5 major hospitals, countless hospital visits and a complete 180 change of lifestyle, words can’t describe how happy I am! 😀
The best thing that happened to me last week? BF planned a one day trip to KL just to splurge cuz I’ve been tightening my wallet for the past few months. And in return, I cooked up some home-cooked goodness for him.
Not taking part in the giveaway, but would still like to share the nicest thing that happened to me the past week. Geekchic offered to knit me a makeup pouch! And she’s finished it 😀
The nicest thing to have happened to me this past week is I acquired MORE MACs!!!!!!!! Yippee!!!! Within a week, my growing MAC collection grew by a few more eyeshadows and added a MAC Cream Color Base in Pearl, time to replace my Benefit F.Y. Eye.
Another nice thing was I got complimented by a Lancome SA on my skin’s getting better every time she sees me! And the only thing that has changed in my skincare regimen is Kiehl’s Over-Night Biological Peel……
Oohh, the nicest thing that happened to me last week was my parents and sister coming to visit me in Sydney after having not seen my family for 8 whole months!
Nicest thing, that will be my parents came to visit me and brought me a huge Cempedak ! I’m so touched and so happy to have my parents with me everyday… With my parents around, this is the nicest thing happen to me every single day… Yeah!!! My email is [email protected]
The nicest thing that has happened to me this past week was finally to be able to find a room that suits someone picky like me after spending lots and lots of time and effort searching high and low. And pheww.. (breathing sigh of relief) I have found IT! My new room which has everything I wished for.. Excuse me, I have to continue organising my stuffs;)
Not here to enter (great giveaway though!) but just wanted to congratulate you on your 1000th post. What a milestone indeed! Here’s to 10000 more? 😉
After my co declare of restructuring and I’m 1 of the unlucky ones of being involved in the retrenchment in August, nothing has been really positive… till next coming wednesday, 09 09 09! I’m looking forward of officially getting marry and no longer a miss… Mrs. Nette ah ah ah… =)
Hopefully I’ll get a mascara from your giveaway so that I can prep myself for the auspicious day!!
hi
the best thing that ever happen to me is on friday..where my bos allow me to leave earlier 30 minutes (for balik kampung). though it is a long jdrive to go to my hometown (5hours), my family surprise me by waiting at kluang, to break fast together. we ate happily even we had just a simple meal. the joy and laughter that i share with my family, will and going to be the best thing that will happen to me. thank you
The nicest thing that happened to me this week..
Hmm it’s hard to choose, but I would say it is my colleague who helped me asked around for job vacancies among his friends & offered to send in my CV for higher chance of getting called for interviews. lol, I really was touched by his efforts and really appreciate it very much. Although he wouldn’t read it here, but anyway HUGE THANKS MC!! Really nice to have known you!
The nicest thing that happened to me the past week was to be able to persuade and take my mum for a full body massage (a first for me and mum). We also got a good deal, 2 for RM118! Absolute tranquility and serenity, it was bonding in a very different environment. The other not so good thing was that the masseuse was putting in too much strength than needed!
Hi Paris!
I would say the nicest thing that had happened to me last week was when I came back home from the hospital after a surgery to get rid of the cyst in my womb. I was lying in bed feeling miserable and in pain when my 1 year- old nephew came into my room with his favourite toy and stood beside my bed staring quizzically at me. Suddenly he reached out and gave me his toy before leaving the room. I was so touched by his simple gesture and felt instantly better. Needless to say, he came back looking for his toy the next day though hahaha
P/s: This is the 1st time I’ve posted something on your website. I have been an avid fan of mywomenstuff.com since last year. Keep up the good work!
I thought that I am not able to see my other half this Merdeka holiday as he was away for some church function and it upsets me a lil (ok..more than a little) because both of us are working in different states. Just when I am supposed to hop onto the bus to head back to the place where I am working, he came to see me and gave me roses alongside with cherry tomatoes(me love!). Though it was a simple gesture, it was one that moves me the most. And that was the best thing that happened to me this Merdeka holiday!
Hmm, I don’t get out much so nothing much happens. BUT! Nicest thing that’s happened, not really to me personally, is my sister’s baby girl is finally here! The miracle of life is such a wonderful thing, no?
