Some might call it bikini weather…

July 22, 2011 Paris B 16 Comments

… I just call it “TOO DARNED HOT!”

Its been too darned hot here to really do anything. I just want to hole up in my room, draw my blackout curtains, switch on the air-conditioning full blast and escape from the blistering sun.

So while I should be feeling all summery and reveling in the hot weather, I’m not. Living in the tropics does that to you 😛 The heat saps energy and I don’t even have energy to tell you about the Anna Sui Pedicure Kit (RM168).

This is a nice little kit for when you are on holiday (or preparing for one) and want to get your nails beach ready. The red sparkly polishes are lovely – I always love red on toes but you can just as easily use these on fingers too – and the addition of the cooling leg mist is genius! The rose scent isn’t for me but the mist is. I like the cool feel of the mist against the skin – like facial mist… but for the legs LOL! I’ve used up the cooling mist because its nice 🙂

But speaking of bikinis…

Coo-ee! 😀

I’ll tell you about this some time. I’m not exactly the most confident about my body. Its far from a bikini bod but the last time I was at a beach resort, I noticed that really, no one cares. Women of all shapes and sizes were strolling around in bikinis and I thought to myself “Why shouldn’t I?”

And why shouldn’t I indeed! I’ve been looking for an inexpensive bikini with an underwired and padded top for a while now, and to find one is lovely. So yes, I’ll tell you more about this soon… when I get over just how awfully HOT it is.

Tell me what’s the weather where you are! Is it bikini weather for you? Or is it the brolly and galoshes for you? Or perhaps you are envying me my sun while you shiver in the cold?

I’m looking out my window now and for once, I’m sort of glad to be in the office, out of the sun… because its just too darned HOT!

    Not like you can walk around KL with just a bikini top and short-shorts anyway – getting arrested for indecent exposure is really not an option 😛

      Only if it’s yellow 😉 but yes i’d look askance at anyone attempting that here so this is strictly one for the beach/poolside which is a nice way to cool off from the heat.

      Yes there are different designs available for the bikini. Was planning to post about it but I realised stocks on the site are low. I’m told it’ll be restocked in a few weeks so I’ll have a post go up then 🙂

    I’ll never be brave enough for a bikini… I don’t even dare to wear short shorts. Whenever I wear shorts, they’re usually bermuda length. >.< I plan to get one pair to try tho… hmm.

    And the Anna Sui kit looks pretty!!

      Start with a tankini – that’s how I braved myself. I still prefer something longer at the bottom that can comfortably cover the bum 😛

    Your bikini is so pretty!! 😀 Can’t wait to know where you got it from! I’ve been looking for one with underwires that is pretty and at the same time isnt so low cut until it guarantees a wardrobe malfunction! >.<

    I don’t have a bikini bod but got over my self-consciousness after studying in Australia. Women of all shapes were using them without thinking twice. I finally manned up and donned one at the beach, to hell with my tummy, bacne and stretch marks. No one stared or made comments. All in the mind, really.

      Agree with ya! We are our own worst critics – in reality, no one really cares.

    Sexy bikini! I can never wear it… can’t show my jiggly tummy with stretch marks. Eek 😛

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 ❤️

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.
