Update : Using Olive Oil on the face

April 20, 2007 Paris B 6 Comments

I’ve been on an olive oil cleansing regime for 1 week.

In this time, I’ve realised that I’d been having a sudden increase in spots, some of which are of the hidden painful variety. These were in places I haven’t had spots for a while i.e my forehead and cheeks.

I’ve only added the olive oil into my skincare regime so I’m going to go out on a limb and say its attributed to that. Maybe my combination skin cannot take the oil as the spots are in places which tend to get oily during the day.

So, for now, I’m stopping this and going back to my regular cleansing with makeup remover and/or cleansing oils and foaming cleansers. I guess the olive oil was just too rich for me. It might be better for those with dry skin.

For now, the olive oil goes back into the kitchen. Its great with crusty bread and balsamic vinegar by the way 😉

Skinny jeans are OUT!

April 19, 2007 Paris B 8 Comments

jeans

So says Life & Style of April 30 2007.

Look at the pictures. Penelope Cruz, Katie Holmes, Gwenyth Paltrow and Jessica Alba can’t go wrong no matter what they wear, but I can. And whilst skinny jeans suit the well… skinnier people with skinny legs, I’m not blessed with a pair.

So, yes I’m happy that baggier jeans are back in. I wouldn’t call those jeans baggy though. I’d call them normal. They just are flared at the bottom, for which I’m glad because they have the illusion of streamlining your legs. Skinny jeans just emphasise how NOT skinny your legs really are 😛

I just hope they don’t go back to the early 90’s with those ultra-baggy jeans. Now, that isn’t going to be fun at all!

Promotions: Free shipping on Benefit Cosmetics

April 18, 2007 Paris B 14 Comments

benefit Are you a fan of Benefit Cosmetics? They haven’t been in Malaysia very long and can be found at Parkson Grand KLCC and Metrojaya MidValley amongst others.

If you are familiar with this brand, you’d know its top sellers are BeneTint cheek tint, Dandelion and Georgia blushes and Boi-Ing concealer, just to name a few. Their packaging is cute and girly which appeal to many.

You’d be interested to know that the prices in Malaysia are actually very much marked up. It may be something to do with the conversion rate or the cost involved in bringing in the brand. But, I found the prices too high. e.g. Dandelion blush costs RM129 (US$37.63) whereas it only costs US$26 in the USA. A Chanel blush costs RM133 and to me, the quality of Chanel is better.

Anyway, if you know what you want or want to try out at the counter first then buy online, Benefit Cosmetics online is having a promotion for FREE SHIPPING for international customers with purchase of US$85 or more. And you’ll get 2 free samples too. Use the code INTLFRSH at checkout. So, grab your buddies and convince them to try Benefit so you can all chip in and share. It’ll cost you less in the long run buying online than buying in Malaysia. I don’t know how long the promo is for though so check the site out if you want more info.

p/s I don’t get paid for this and this info is based on an email I received from Benefit 🙂 Enjoy!

Bags with fringes

April 18, 2007 Paris B 3 Comments

Life & Style had this style tip to offer, with Jennifer Lopez aka J. Lo taking the spotlight with her fringe bag.

NEWPICS JLo 26-27

I love bags, and its nice knowing you own a fashion accessory that is endorsed by the stars. But looking at the fringe bags on offer, I can’t help but wonder if it might look dated after a bit. Its fussy and can dominate an outfit, which in my mind, a bag should never do. I mean, just look at it on J. Lo. I think a smaller or more streamlined bag would be looked better with her outfit, as she is quite bundled up. A large fringed bag just seems to add to the bulk – unflattering.

I would like a little beaded fringed bag for the evening. But I think I’ll sit out this rage of fringe bags for a bit. As I’m not very tall, a large fringed bag will make me look like I’m carrying a furry animal on my shoulder!

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 😅
