Hola!
The first Saturday of 2011 – how did your 1st work week of the year go? 🙂
I saw how we had fun answering questions in the Fave/Not so Fave products questionnaire so I thought to extend it to a fun thing. If you enjoy it, let me know and we’ll continue this. If not, hey! Its been nice getting to know you! 😉
1. How was the first work/school week of 2011 for you?
For me it was surprisingly light. I had time to clear some backlog of paperwork, while preparing for the onslaught to come. The end of the week was much more hectic though. Things are starting to pile up!
2. What’s one household chore you dislike the most?
Ironing by far! I’d happily scrub bathrooms and floors if someone else would do the ironing for me. Too miserly to send it out to the laundry 😛
3. What’s one product you’ve liked using in the week?
I’ve developed an unhealthy obsession with this Quash Moisturizing Hand Sanitizer. Its an alcohol free 100% natural hand sanitizer that smells refreshingly of citrus fruits. I’m waiting for some info before I write a post on it for you 🙂
4. What’s one good thing to happen to you in the week?
Well for me, needless to say it was the Bangkok Post feature 🙂
Your turn. Just copy the list and input your answers.

January 8, 2011 at 8:47 am1. Surprisingly, it was boring as. Like when I sent you the chat log of the shit we were talking about? ANd that how I wanted to sit on the cubicle partition throwing shit at my neighbour screeching? Yea. That kinda bored 😛
2. Ironing. Fecking hate it. I’ve found that spraying it with a starch spray when the shirts are dry make it a little bearable
3. Crabtree and Evelyn handcreams!
4. Staying out late last night with some folks from work who drove 2 hours out for dinner and drinks. Watched the drunkards get sober up over time to drive. See the stupid shit they talk while they’re drunk. Forgot about all cares and worries for 4 hours. Everyone needs friends like this 🙂
ParisB says
January 9, 2011 at 10:16 amI used to use starch spray a while ago. But it got pricey and although it helps get your shirts smooth, it was a bother so I stopped using it. I actually use a steamer now – its quicker for light clothing but cotton still needs the ol’ iron sigh… And I love C&E hand creams too! 😀

January 8, 2011 at 9:34 am1.How was the first work/school week of 2011 for you?
Working for the hospitality industry, I had a morning shift on the first day of the year! I was like a walking zombie having little/no sleep at all but hey it was fun!
2.What’s one household chore you dislike the most?
I can stand ironing (which you and Legeeque hates the most), actually I like it. But the one thing I really dislike is washing dirty dishes.
3.What’s one product you’ve liked using in the week?
I finally gave in and bought the Shiseido Anti-Aging Suncare Extra Smooth Sun Protection Lotion N SPF30. I’m trying to experiment if it’ll work on my skin as a primer. Hehehe.
4.What’s one good thing to happen to you in the week?
After working on the 1st and the 2nd of Jan, I had the Mon and Tues off so I had the chance to sleep over at my friend’s house! =D
Stay lovely! 🙂
ParisB says
January 9, 2011 at 10:17 amHiya! Glad to know you had fun even if as a zombie! 😉 I don’t mind doing dishes… it means someone else did the cooking! 😉

3. What’s one product you’ve liked using in the week?
My new Nutox Oxyfusion night cream with birdnest collagen 😀 It gives a nice, colling effect once applied onto the face 😀

ParisB says
January 9, 2011 at 10:18 amYay for winning a Blackberry Curve!! You’re in trouble now. You won’t be able to go back to normal phones! 😉 I’ve seen that Nutox thing around but have never tried. It sounds nice, especially on a hot hot day 😉 Oh and I used to hand wash my clothes before this – washing machine FTW! 😛

ParisB says
January 9, 2011 at 10:22 amNice! I love the texture of Tarte eyeshadows but I haven’t tried anything else from the brand. And so does this mean you’ll be lazing the days away till school reopens? 😉

January 8, 2011 at 1:16 pmHow was the first work/school week of 2011 for you?
For the most part, okay, except on the blogging side of things. The start of 2011 has proven to be crappy for me on the blogging end. Even after a whole new domain and a whole new host, I am still having issues. Sigh….

I hate ironing too! I am an accumulator with ironing…haha…I’d accumulate a few baskets then iron the whole load at once.
What’s one product you’ve liked using in the week?
It’s been scorching hot this week in Melbourne, so the product I’ve been loving this week is my Ego QV Sunscreen.
What’s one good thing to happen to you in the week?
The BBQ with family today.
ParisB says
January 9, 2011 at 10:25 amI’m so so sorry to hear about the challenges you’re facing with your blog Nadia. But on the brighter side, what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger. I’ll be waiting for the big unveiling of your new blog soon 🙂

ParisB says
January 9, 2011 at 10:38 amSigh I am like you. No jam fortunately, but the morning rains make it sooo hard to get out of bed! I just want to snuggle in and pretend its Sunday 😛 Washing bathrooms do take it out of you don’t they? I detest it, but not as much as ironing, but once I have a nice clean bathroom, I’m happy 🙂

January 9, 2011 at 3:47 am1. How was the first work/school week of 2011 for you?
It was work after work and… oh I studied also! It seems I started 2011 at full speed!
2. What’s one household chore you dislike the most?
Doing the dishes. Because it’s the only chore I do. I’m that spoiled. 😛
3. What’s one product you’ve liked using in the week?
Fyrinnae and Lime Crime eyeshadows! They’re so pigmented and unique! I’m really loving taking time to do my eye makeup. Takes my mind off the lipsticks!^^
4. What’s one good thing to happen to you in the week?
A perfumer said she would send me a vial of the perfume she makes! Can’t wait to smell it!
ParisB says
January 9, 2011 at 10:39 amOoh yes! You ARE spoilt! 😉 I’ve heard a lot about Fyrinnae and Lime Cream shadows – they look so pigmented! But I’m quite off loose shadows now because I find them a bit finicky but the effect is always very pretty. And I love the idea of being sent a vial of perfume. Its so decadent! 😀
Mari Ohira says
January 10, 2011 at 4:45 amYeah, loose eyeshadows are quite troublesome to work with – but I’m getting the hang of it. 🙂 And it is decadent, isn’t it? Ah, but perfumes can somehow lift us from this mortal coil! 😀 Love it!
ParisB says
January 10, 2011 at 9:43 amYes perfume can be most uplifting! I have a whole box of loose powder eyeshadows and pigments I collected over time. I just stopped using them. Perhaps I should go and take another look or they’d all go to waste
