Help! All this handwashing is drying out my hands : 4 hand creams I’m using

March 24, 2020 Paris B 7 Comments

I said in my last post that I would keep calm and carry on blogging. And I intend to do so. But if I’m to be honest, my heart isn’t quite in it right now, purely because it appears so frivolous.

Yet, I have received a few kind messages from you that that bit of frivolity is what we need right now. A little bit of escapism from the mad mad world out there!

As much as I want to maintain a sense of normalcy in our life, the fact is nothing is normal, and if I’m to be honest, I do not want this to be the new normal. What is normal is for us to be able to move around freely, without that constant dread of meeting an infected person, and to shy away from people like they’re bearing the plague. That isn’t normal.

What is normal is meeting family and friends, holding them, hugging and kissing them, sitting down for a meal or a drink, being able to enjoy each other’s company. That’s normal.

But we keep our distance, and we stay home, and we try to ‘Flatten the Curve’, and one thing we’ve been cautioned over and over during this period, is to WASH OUR HANDS. And I don’t know about you, but my hands are washed raw. So, here’s some things that helped me.

Beauty hors d’oeuvres: Bring your empties to L’Occitane Malaysia and be rewarded under their Big Little Things recycling campaign

April 26, 2019 Paris B 12 Comments

Earth Day 2019 has come and gone, and along with it, pledges of going green, separating and recycling waste, reducing the use of single-use plastics… often, platitudes.

There was a time when I’d mark these sort of ‘days’ and make these ‘pledges’, but no longer. I am honest with myself, and I will do what I can in my own little ways but I am not a green or eco warrior – not yet. Maybe never, because I’m honest and I will admit this to myself and to you. We all do what we can without ramming it down the throats of others.

However, I was at the launch of L’Occitane Malaysia’s Big Little Things recycling campaign, and I liked what I saw. I liked it enough that I’d tell you about it, because they appear to me to be more focused, more genuine, and more invested in the recycling cause for the reasons I’ll share below 🙂

8 Things I’m really enjoying using that I think you will love too – Just in time for ‘ang pow’ spending!

February 14, 2018 Paris B 15 Comments

I am going to be trite and say this “I cannot believe that we are halfway through February 2018!” Is it me, or is 2018 flying by a little too quickly for comfort? Slow down! I want to cry. And I guess I will have some time to slow down soon, with the Lunar New Year festivities upon us.

This year, the barking Dog chases the Rooster out of our home, and I will be taking a few days off, as I do at this time of year, to celebrate the festivities and spend time at home with the family. Incidentally, if you want to stay in touch with blog posts, you can sign up here for a weekly email that goes out with a compilation of that week’s blog posts, so you don’t have to miss out on any future posts!

But before I leave you for the festivities, I wanted to quickly share some things I’ve been loving, that I think you might love too! Or at least, some things you can save your ang pow money for 😀 I’ve made sure that they’re (mostly) permanent products because I despise the limited edition push to buy NOW, as much as anyone else.

There are a couple of items that I may elaborate on in future review (holler, if there is one you want to see in greater depth!) but I wanted to make sure I told you about these things, some of which I’ve been using for months now, and thoroughly loving to bits! 😀

Feast your eyes on the whimsical L’Occitane x Rifle Paper Co. collection while shea butter pampers your skin

January 5, 2018 Paris B 8 Comments

The day I laid eyes on the L’Occitane x Rifle Paper Co. collection, I felt my stoic bones turn to mush as my stiff upper lip quivered to let out an appreciative “Awww….” I had no idea what Rifle Paper Co. was, but I challenge you to not have the same reaction I did!

I’m rarely one to fall for pretty packaging, but this one tugged at the ol’ whimsical heart-strings. There was just something about the flowers and illustrations that appeals, and will appeal to the majority.

Rifle Paper Co. I later learnt, is a stationery company that specialises in whimsical illustrations and designs. There is a lot about their aesthetic that I could see stationery lovers enjoying, and if you’re a stationery lover, I’d love to know if they are a brand that you have kept on your radar 🙂
