Do you need a gadget to clean your face? I review the Foreo Luna 3 to find out

Do you need a gadget to help clean your face?

That’s a question I ask myself everytime a new face-cleaning gadget hits the stands. In recent years, Swedish brand Foreo has carved its niche and entrenched itself firmly in the beauty world as the go-to face-cleaning gadget.

But I stayed clear, because I’m notoriously lax at using beauty gadgets. Very lax.

I was however, recently offered a chance to try the Foreo Luna 3, and after a little humming and hawing, I decided to say yes. What is the point of being a beauty blogger if I wasn’t a little adventurous? In fact, what’s the point of being a beauty blogger anymore, when people prefer other mediums LOL! 😛

But I digress.

So, after a little while using the Foreo Luna 3, I think I have an opinion on it – and I have been encouraged to be honest, so I will be! (I wonder if they’ll regret that) 😉

Eat at Chez PB: Lactose-free Milk Coffee made right at home – Enjoy the Nespresso Flash Sale

This post is brought to you by Nespresso Malaysia. All opinions and experiments are my own.

A few months ago, I shared with you why you may want a Nespresso machine in your life. I didn’t expect to meet so many Nespresso fans!

But if you’re still unconvinced, I wanted to share with you today, yet another reason why you need (not want, NEED!) a Nespresso machine in your life – milk coffee brewed in the comfort of your home. Check out the Nespresso Flash Sale details below for some incredible savings.

I used to be an avid cappuccino drinker. It was my coffee of choice. However, I’ve been drinking my coffee black for many years now. The reason is this – lactose intolerance. Milk makes me bloat and feel very uncomfortable, so I learnt to do without.

What this means for me is sadly, no more cappuccino, or latte or macchiato or anything that involves adding milk to my coffee. I’d almost forgotten what milky coffee tastes like! It also means no cheese and creamy sauces either, for which my waistline thanks me LOL!

But I recently made a wonderful lactose-free Hazelnut Mocha Cappuccino right at home, with no attendant bloat, and my world shifted.

Swimming just got more enjoyable with the Underwater Audio Waterproof Swimbuds Earphones and Syryn MP3 Player

Those of you on the MWS Companion newsletter list would have recently been asked to give me some motivation to get off my butt and move it, move it! I’m very bad at sticking to any form of exercise routine, simply because I get bored, or there’s always something else more interesting to do… that involves me sitting around on my butt.

But as I’ve also told you early in the year, I’ve taken up swimming again. The problem with swimming however (I can always find a problem, trust me) is that it gets boring doing laps. Unlike running or gym work, you can’t listen to anything while you swim. Or can you?

Introducing the Underwater Audio Waterproof Swimbuds Earphones and Syryn Waterproof MP3 player for use in the pool! I was offered by Underwater Audio to try these and see how I liked them, and truth be told, I leaped at the opportunity. Here was the answer to my pool boredom! Or so I hoped!

Beauty blogger or no, I detest going for manicures. Nail polish isn’t my thing, and while I enjoy the look of shiny nails, I don’t have that kind of patience to sit with an emery board to file and buff and shine my nails. Takes a lot of elbow grease too!

So, when Scholl told me that there is a gadget that can do all that for me electronically, yes, I was intrigued! The gadget in question is the new Scholl Velvet Smooth Electronic Nail Care System, that promises to give you the appearance of healthy, shiny, glossy nails, in no time at all! Perfect for busy ladies like us 😉
