5 Lessons I’ve learnt looking back on a challenging yet unique year

December 31, 2020 Paris B 6 Comments

When I ended 2019, it was on a high note. I felt like I had everything sorted, and everything was looking up. I was viewing 2020 with much hope, anticipation and optimism.

And somewhere around March 2020, the world, as we know it, went pear-shaped.

Gosh, what a ride it has been since then!

I can’t say however, that is has all been bad for me, personally. It has been challenging, but I can count myself lucky that I have not been personally seriously impacted by the events of 2020.

Yet, there are some lessons I can take away from everything that’s happened this year. I will share some with you (and you can share yours with me too!) 🙂

This is the best way to moisturize dry skin on the body

November 27, 2020 Paris B 12 Comments

When I started being outdoors a little more than usual, I noticed one thing aside from developing a tan.

The skin on my arms were very dry.

This is one of the side effects of having too much sun exposure, and is similarly something that happens to your facial skin as well, if you don’t treat it well – sunscreen, and a proper hydrating, moisturising skincare routine.

But how do you deal with the skin on your body drying out?

The skin on my arms were looking stretched and aged, and it was not pleasant, I can assure you!

Body creams helped, but I wasn’t noticing much improvement. And then, I remembered a tip I received way back in the past, from my early blogging days, and something clicked!

So I took a little unscheduled break

Hello, friends.

Gosh. I’m not sure where to begin.

As I said in the title of this post, I took an unscheduled break all through October, and intended to restart again in November. That was the plan.

But as with all best laid plans, it went awry and before I realised, November is half over!

As I have received many messages of concern as to whether I’d return to blogging (yes, I will), I figured that I owe you an explanation 🙂

So, hello! What’s been happening? 🙂

Do you stick with a skincare product you love despite its rising price tag?

September 14, 2020 Paris B 6 Comments

I had a little food for thought recently, about being loyal to a product despite its increasing price. It made me think about how much I’m willing to pay for skincare, in relation to how often and how much I use of it.

I was asked if I was going to try the new iteration of the Shiseido Perfect UV sunscreen. (If you’re new here, you may not be aware of how many bottles of the original Shiseido Perfect UV sunscreen I’ve made people buy over the years! The answer is MANY! LOL!)

When I first introduced the Shiseido Perfect UV sunscren as my go-to sunscreen in the past, it was the perfect sunscreen. The consistency was just right, the formula was the perfect blend of physical and chemical blockers, and it protected my skin very well.

But 2 things made me stop using it. First, they changed the formula, and the new one (then, called Multi-Defense) sucked.

Second, the price kept going up, and my use of sunscreen increased due to my daily activities. I eventually stopped being loyal to the product, and looked for alternatives.

So, when I was asked recently if I might try and review the new Shiseido Perfect UV Protector with Wet Force x Heat Force, I knew what my answer would be.
