Just when we thought that the year-end festivities are over, done and dusted, the dragons of Asia swing their heavy heads around and let out a little cough of laughter. Over? It’s only just beginning!

With Spring just around the corner, we are all looking forward to celebrating the Lunar New Year aka Chinese New Year (on 5 February 2019 this year); the symbolic start to the year for many of Chinese descent.

tips to stay fresh and look good during festivities chinese new year

As everyone celebrating will be aware, the Lunar New Year is a time for family, feasting, festivities and frazzled nerves LOL! 😀 Here in Malaysia, it is a time when we open our doors to family and friends to visit and late nights are inevitable.

In fact, on the eve of Chinese New Year (which is the most important day of all) when we have the Reunion Dinner to reunite family members from near and far, we are all encouraged to stay up late to ring in the new year. Yes, even the little ones. Especially the little ones, because it is believed that it will bring longevity to their parents – Chinese are very symbolic, but really, I think it’s just because parents can’t be bothered to tuck their excited little ones in bed 😛

So, with all this going on, you can expect to look a little wan and tired during the coming Chinese New Year festivities – 15 days! – but here’s some tips for you on how to survive this, and look your best while doing so!

Do note that these tips are useful to bear in mind for ALL festivities, not only for Chinese New Year! 😀

My present Skincare Routine : The products don’t matter the routine does

January 16, 2019 Paris B 10 Comments

One of my most requested posts is my current skincare routine. I think the last time I posted one, it was back in 2017! I had good intentions then, to share my routine each month, but it didn’t pan out as I planned.

I too enjoy seeing what other people are using in their skincare routine, so I can understand the interest (I do short videos on Instagram Stories showing my almost daily day-night routine in real-time, if anyone’s interested). But there’s also something a little unhealthy I’ve noticed, that I’d like to address.

Let me share first, my skincare routine thus far for 2019. Rather, this is what I’ve been using through 2018 and into 2019. What you may notice is that my routine and steps do not change. It is only the products that do.

And that is something I want you to hold in mind, as we run through my current skincare routine 🙂

Your Say: Do you or your friends give and receive beauty gifts?

January 9, 2019 Paris B 10 Comments

Now that the season for gifting is all but over, I’m going to ask you an interesting question – do you or your friends give and receive beauty or beauty related gifts?

I thought about it because I notice that often, when you read gift guides for gifting over Christmas (and especially for the dreaded Secret Santa gifting), when it comes to the women in your life, often, the suggestion of a beauty item pops up.

It could be something small like a hand cream or body wash. Or it might be something more extravagant like a perfume or fancy makeup or skincare.

So, here’s your chance to be anonymous and tell me if you give and receive beauty gifts and if it sits well with you in general? 😉

2019 Life Mantra: Use it or lose it

January 3, 2019 Paris B 24 Comments

If there’s one thing the internet has taught us, it is this – there’s always something newer, prettier and more fun coming around the corner. So, we snap up goodies we have our eye on now, but instead of enjoying them, we tuck them away in our drawers and crane our necks, peering into the distance, wondering if there might be something better out there to come.

Or we buy something expensive, or exclusive, and we hug it to ourself and say “I’ll keep it for a special occasion” as we gaze lovingly at it.

This was me. But it’s now 2019 and I have a new life mantra to live by.
