April 29th, 2009Hazeline Snow

Murad Transforming Skincare

I was having such dry skin from using that GNC product that I bought a few months ago, i thought of Hazeline snow that we used to use.. when i was young. Even my mom wasn’t gonna use Hazeline snow no more.  But i was surprised that Hazeline snow still exist .. and going strong too.

The new packaging certainly looks nice.. but does it works good ..?? or is it gonna be like the one i got from GNC ..??  i was devastated.. that my skin looked so horrid and dry.. after using that GNC thingie..  :(   that i needed some treatment oil for it.. luckily it’sd not as expensive as my dear friend who needed Mesothelioma treatment, else i would be really depressed .. coz’ we all know .. that looking good means.. confidence.

What a rare find at the Outer Banks when we were on vacation recently.

April 20th, 2009Bachelorette Party

Murad Transforming Skincare

The best friend planned a bachelorette party for one of our oldest friend in Vegas and if you have been to any  Las Vegas hotels they are pretty much like the ones in Macau.  They have so much to offer .. and the price is unbeatable.  I think what we like most is spa and not so much the casinos but the boys who came along, they loved the food and the casinos and all the free booze in the casino.

But after a long day of walking, shopping and slots, it was a great place to be and to relax.  In the hotel that we stayed in, they had a full service spa.  I love the steam room and sauna rooms.  But what’s the difference..?? between a steam room and a sauna room.  Actually, they are pretty much do the same thing.  The moist heat stimulates the subcutaneous  moist  flow and cleanses the skin intensively, opening the pores, removing dead skin and impurities and leaving the skin feeling soft, clean and smooth.  Therefore, you can see why I am all for Bachelorette party in Vegas eh.

April 17th, 2009Butter For The Body

Murad Transforming Skincare

Before coming to Canada.. i would never thought that I would need such rich moisturizing cream for any part of my body but now, i cannot get enough of them.  And we all know that Body Shop does  have one of the best butters.  I love the new Raspberry one best at $20 to keep your skin nice and soft.  But I had been using the cocoa and coconut for the longest time, so i think it is time for change.

Don’t forget to combine it with the raspberry exfoliant too.

Westgate Park City Resort & Spa is the destination, me and my girlfriends are planning to go for our yearly vacation.  It’s a gal thingie.. and no men allowed.. and we go around .. hunting for the best spa resort all over the world.   The spas in the west are different from the east, where the asians tend to relax you by chatting with you. .and bonding.  I prefer the west where they let you enjoy and relax.  I wonder what Westgate Spa is gonna be like, I’ll definitely update.
