FitFlop Galore at the Bratpack store

July 31, 2011 Paris B 47 Comments

I’d not been paying much attention to FitFlop for  a while. I have a couple of pairs by now, and I do still swear by them. I wear almost no other slippers or casual shoes/sandals anymore these days. But when you already own a pair or two, its better to just turn away when confronted with new designs lest the wallet bleeds.

bratpack fitflops

But when I was strolling around Hartamas Shopping Centre and chanced upon a store called Bratpack that had a veritable WALL of Fitflop sandals/flip flops, I just had to stop and look. They don’t only have the flip flops for men and women, they also have shoes and boots!

You Asked: My Skincare Routine Day and Night

July 30, 2011 Paris B 39 Comments

Morning! Rise and shine! Or if you’re reading this at any other time, rise and shine anyway 🙂

I’ve had a request from reader Shay most recently in the comments, and from an uncountable number of emails, to share my skincare routine. I’ve been meaning to do a post about it for the longest time, so no better time than the present. Really!

Note: (1) Products I use will change from time to time. What does not change however, is the routine and sequence of products used. (2) I am on a hydrating and anti-aging skincare regime (3) This isn’t gospel and is liable to change often 🙂

Here’s my daily skincare routine and the products I’m currently using. Remember, you can click through to read my reviews if there are any 🙂

Morning – Rise and Shine!

  • Wash with cleanser du jour – presently Vichy Essentialles facial cleanser * (but I’m getting bored) or Aesop Parsley Seed Cleansing Oil
  • Pat on a lotion – presently Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Oil Free toner or L’Occitane Angelica face toner

Its time for your close up with the Smashbox Softbox Eyeshadow Palette

July 29, 2011 Paris B 43 Comments

I first saw the limited edition Smashbox Softbox palette in Sephora Ion Orchard. I swatched some of the colours under the eyes of a scary pushy SA and instantly fell in love with this shade called Truffle.

I’m in a crazy phase of falling in love with random taupe colours – Truffle is one of them (I wish Smashbox would come out with a single!) and the other is Chanel’s Fauve – but you’re not going to see it here (yet) because it costs over RM100 for a single and I’m still debating dropping that sort of cash on ONE shadow. I’m crazy… not stupid… yet.

smashbox softbox palette

Ok back to Smashbox 😛 For just about the price of 2 Chanel Ombre Essentialle single eyeshadows, you get a palette of 9 neutral eyeshadow shades and 2 cream shadows/liners and a double-ended brush… AND a lid primer. Will the excitement never end 😛

If you’re wondering what on earth a softbox is, its that contraption that professional photographers use to diffuse lighting. You know those umbrella-y boxy things they use to shine on you to get a soft diffused look? Yes, that one. And that’s the inspiration behind this palette too. The eyeshadows aren’t loud, smack in your face, vibrant colours. They are soft, diffused and when applied, layer to give a there… but not… colour … but not sort of look. I thought I’d be all blah about it.

But its the one palette thats gotten me compliments every single day I wear it. Its fascinating really. And the best part is that with your eyes kept all diffused and soft, you can go with the red lippie! 😀

Fortify and Soothe and Hydrate… and all that : Take it away Vichy Aqualia Thermal!

July 28, 2011 Paris B 28 Comments

I’d been wanting to tell you about this hydrating serum for a while now, but it kept getting shelved for one reason or another or was pushed aside for one obligation or another but no longer! I’m usually very picky about pharmacy brand serums – very few ever make the cut for me. But this one does.

vichy aqualia thermal serum

Its the Vichy Aqualia Thermal hydrating serum or to give it its full name Vichy Aqualia Thermal Fortifying & Soothing Serum 24hr Hydrating Concentrate *whew* I’d had it for a while stuck in a corner, but I took to it when I noticed that I was running out of my Estee Lauder Hydratrionist serum really fast and I needed a backup.

What it is, is a hydrating serum so it goes on after cleansing and toner (if you use it) and before moisturizer. I use it in the day and sometimes at night too. And its earned itself a semi-permanent place on my dresser. Nothing’s permanent you see, since I’m fickle so semi-permanent is about as good as it gets!

The pup & I celebrating birthdays within weeks of The pup & I celebrating birthdays within weeks of each other 😁 Kiddo turns 4 and celebrated with specially made doggy burgers & fries.

I got him in early Jan 2020 so he’s only been with me less than 4 years but it’s been incredible to see how he’s grown (or not), and how he’s slowly mellowed with age (or not!). He’s still that crazy rambunctious puppy who terrorises other dogs, begging them to play and barking at them when they don’t. He’s a greedy fella who makes me think I’m the greatest chef in the world (in the dog world maybe!) and he still gets crazy eyes when excited. 

But I’ve also found more white hair around his eyes and he sleeps in more and later now. He doesn’t even get up early enough to jump onto the bed as he used to 😔

4 years is practically adulthood in doggy years and I’m thankful that we have the opportunity to spend lots of time together even if I bemoan having to bring him everywhere I go. 

Happy 4 years boy ❤️

We just started retailing our dog treats @quandogtreats at our first offline outpost! We’re available exclusively at Lex’s Patio Pantry @lexpatiopantry, a brand new cosy spot in the heart of Bangsar. 

Housed at the base of Kapas Condominium, (enter from Jalan Penaga), you’ll find the brand new Lex’s Patio Pantry, a curated grocer with pantry staples and a little cafe set up offering breakfast and lunch. It’s a lovely spot that is quiet and green, filled with all sorts of wonderful goodies, and is best of all, pet friendly! Scroll to the end to see what my efforts are like trying to get a photo with the kid 😒

This explains my lack of updates generally. Been very busy preparing for this, and amazingly enough, moving operations again! It’s a long sucky story but it might have just turned out for the best for us so as they say about windows opening and closing, sometimes you just have to go with the flow and look for the open window when doors close.

P/s yes I also need a haircut - badly 😅
