Go bare

My beautician advised me to minimise on make up and wash my face more thorough as I have a lot of white heads and make up residues. I have oily skin with big pores, so I have to take care of my skin well, otherwise pimples will "visit" me. So I decided to go "naked" on my face with no make up.

It has been a week since I went to my last facial wash. My complexion is better as less pinching and not so red. I always hate going for a facial, because they tend to pinch my face till it so red and take long time to heal. Unlike the previous one, my redness gone in after 2 days while this last trip, it gone in a day. Since then I have not put any make up on my face. At first I am not used to it. As you see, my usual morning routine would include make up in front of the mirror but since then, I have more time to spare with my kids. And I feel relax in the morning too. I spent about 5 - 10 minutes (depend on how extensive my make up is) but now that extra minutes are spent on chatting and playing with my 2 kids. *wink*

My skin feel great and smooth too. But still, I need to wash and blot my face often as I do not want to clog my pores with my already-oily-combination. I think I will spend less money on cosmetic especially those foundations and compact powders, but I still love to get myself a new eye shadow palette. You should try it out too. Go naked on your face.

Cracked nails

Not exactly cracked nails, but nail colours. Tried out the new Cosway Crackle Nail Lacquer. Not so sure how much to put in first place but after trying on few nails, I decided that more is better. Bring out the colours in them. And with Gloss coating to finish them, it sure stands out.


Used my own gold and gloss coating, and used Purplish Brown Crackle Nail Lacquer.



Crackle in seconds!!!


Beautiful or not? First experiment so I do not think it is that smooth. Will try other colours.

House WIP #3

I have to sweep once and mop three times in the family hall and 3 bedrooms, and clean 2 bathrooms upstair yesterday. It took me more than 2 hours and by the time I finished, I was exhausted to go for a swim.


My proposed new kitchen.

No more side and front landscape since we are lazy to maintain grass and plants. All cemented in the car porch to give more spaces to our cars.

Hubby is done with the coat painting to the kitchen. Now waiting for people to install the windows and door, and building wooden cabinet to the kitchen.


The backyard also cemented; more space.

TGIF

It is Friday and a holiday today. Not that it makes any difference to me. The kids are with baby sitter and my shop still have to operate as usual. Just that today I will do something extra.

Time to do some cleaning to my new house. Actually not a thorough cleaning, just only on the 3 bedrooms up stair. The workers will do the built in wardrobe to the bedrooms soon, so I would need to do some cleaning and mopping to the wooden floor before the wardrobe are in. Hubby is going to paint the wet kitchen today so maybe after the works, we will have a dip in the swimming pool. Long time did not go for a swim. We are paying the monthly service charge, so must fully use its facilities, right? Hopefully the weather is good later.

It has been raining almost this week and I even have to send my dirty clothing to laundry centre. My clean laundry is piling up and I have not have time to keep them. I have brought back some boxes for hubby since he wanted to pack his books and dvd. The room is going to be dusty again......

Mummy's children

I had my first child at the age of 28. I think it is an ideal age to have children but at that point of time, I were ready and settling down to have kids. Some think that I was rushing things because I got pregnant after a month of marriage. Some said I should enjoy marriage life, maybe a year before settling for kids.

What ever it is, I have no regrets. At that moment of time, I just feel like having kids. And boy! I am in my 30s and I have a pair of kids. How beautiful my 2 kids are. I am truly blessed and grateful to have wonderful children, although sometimes they giving me headaches and heartbreaks. Nevertheless I am proud of them.




I love the feeling of waking up in the morning to the sound of my children either greeting me with "Good Morning" or asking for their milk. I love the idea of sharing ice cream cone with my girl, playing blocks with my boy and having a nice bucket of fried chicken with my kids. I am contented with 2, but hubby keeps persuading me for Baby No 3. See how thing goes after we move into the new house. *Wink*

House WIP #2

The wet kitchen is in progress, first coating has been laid down, and next work would be installing the windows and door, and building of bricked cabinet in there. More painting to be done by hubby after all those works are done.

Next would be our built-in wardrobe for the master bedroom and the kids' 2 bedrooms. Me and hubby gone for colour selection yesterday. We are pleased with the sketches of the wardrobe, so the work will start this week after the down payment of 30%. It will take about a month. Phew! Money and more money is pouring out for the house but it is good thing, as slowly our dream house is in progress.

Breakfast of Kueh Chap

I rarely take kueh chap, partly because I do not take internal organs of pigs. So after so many years of not tasting kueh chap, I finally decided to give the new stall in Sing Garden a try this morning.

Turned out good! I requested for those lean meats, tauhu puff, egg and "kueh". RM5 per bowl. Love the soup as it is not too overwhelming yet flavourish and not to mention the chunky lean meats. Hubby was even surprised that I finished up the whole bowl. Lol!
