March 20th, 2012Good Deal Or Just Evil Sale

Murad Transforming Skincare

How many times have you bought too many things on a sale to save a few bucks and then forgotten that you had bought it?  I’m this way all the time but I can’t resist a sale – and I’m sure I’m not the only one.  The Body Shop is having a great sale this weekend – so I was told and I’m torn in between buying some stuff that will cost me $90 now or pay a total of $200+ eventually.  I don’t need everything immediately but I could use it in the future but who knows what would happen in the next 12 months right?  afterall, life is so short and I could die tomorrow – so to speak.    So yes, do I buy them on sale or just wait till I need them to buy it?  I’m going to post this question on Facebook and ask my friends.

March 19th, 2012Tea Time After Spa

Murad Transforming Skincare

We loved our tea time after going to the spa together with our girlfriends because we always exchange a lot of useful gossips and tips with regards to investing on silver bullion bars .  Most of my girlfriends are either rich wives of some successful local investors or are successful in their own ways.  And they don’t just make themselves beautiful, they also know about about making money and making them well.  They all know how much I love investing my money but I only like to do it in a safe way – so what is better than investing in gold or silver bullions bars.  Everytime I have a little extra money I would ask my friends about the rates for them and where to buy them at the best prices and invest as much as I can.  Of course, coffee had to be good too.

Yay! they are finally in town and I need not order it from online no more and pay for shipping.  They also have the nail polish remover as well – pretty awesome !  I will check it out next week and let you know what I’ve found and to compare prices from the USA site and the Canadian local store. Stay tuned.

Some say what you don’t know – won’t kill you  – haha! but that’s not true because for a diabetic like myself – I was shocked to read that some manicurist or beautician don’t clean their equipment the way they should.  The law does not require them to keep up their hygienic standards – so they will not be closed down if they did not sterilized their equipments properly.

Equipment not cleaned properly can caused you a lot of grieve in the future because bacteria is passed from one person to another with the file being used or the pumice stones.  Bad sanitization practice by nail technician can caused you to be sick and you won’t even know any better.  One with diabetes like myself may even loose a toe or a foot.

I’ve never seen a spa turn away customers, so if a customer had fungus on their feet – I bet they would still take them in and work on their feet.  Now the worst part is if the person has HIV and his or her skin got cut and blood was left behind on the equipment used on the next session on your feet?  highly unlikely you will get anything – because I hear that when it is expose too long in air – it will die but what if it is not?  you might get infected too – and not necessary just HIV. Scary right?

Plus the nail polishes that they use to paint your nails – now what about that one ?  good think I don’t get them to paint my feet – but I would definitely try and get my own equipment the next time I get my pedicure done – too much risk involved and i really don’t want to get sick since I’m diabetic.

A vietnamese nail salon that my babysitter used to go to – often nicks her fingers and the skin around it – now that is so dangerous because you don’t know what would go into an open wound – therefore i’m glad I don’t go to them.   And those foot baths are highly dangerous to use because if  they are not cleaned out properly like a place in town that I know – that is a disaster area for your health.  Bacteria found in these baths can caused boils, rashes and itchiness forever.

So if you opt to go for a manicure or a pedicure  – make sure you choose a reputable spa – and bring your own equipments if possible.  Paranoid much – your spouse may be asking – but I say better be safe than sorry right?

March 13th, 2012The Saress Beach Dress

Murad Transforming Skincare

The Saress beach dress is the ultimate must have when you go for your vacation or use during the summer.  Comes in different sizes – so bigger girls do not have to worry because you will find one that fits you.  I loved that it is so easy to wear and they are lovely to wear on the beach or dinner in the evening at the resort.   Not expensive at all – you can get them for as low as $19.99 online.  Check them out but if you have a local store that sells them – of course, support your local store.

The delicious French Tote from Roots is out for sale and i’m so torn between everyone of them – I want all of them of course but cannot buy all right?  So what color should I choose I asked myself the entire day now.  Prices range from $168 – $188 + 15 % taxes.  I want a change of color but I think I might end up with the orange one – the only thing I don’t like about these french totes are they are not lined.  I hate that – because it can make all your other stuff dirty !  I have a black one – and everytime I pick something out from inside my black tote – some black stuff comes out with it – gross!

Man can be quite oblivious, that’s why I called mine Mr Oblivious many times a week.  And I don’t think it’s just because we’ve been together for a long time, I just think he couldn’t care less if I had a new hair cut or if I painted my face orange.  It’s not like he doesn’t “care” but like he said, it don’t matter to him.

So ladies, if you are going on a first date – don’t panic – most men don’t even notice a lot of things – and those who does are probably into men and not you.   I don’t paint my face – but i think I might just have to a little bit anyway not to look good for him but to look good for myself.  I wear a lip gloss instead of lipsticks because I find it such a waste to paint on the lipstick and then it gets left behind on cups and tissue papers – so a darn good lipgloss is always good.

But so you know – putting on some perfume is good for yourself – but the man may not even noticed like mine – but they loved a good clean hair if possible – so no stiffening stuff or gel on hair – coz’ they can’t run their fingers over your hair if they want to get intimate. Other that that – I think you are ok – so don’t go get drastic for your date with a new guy or an old guy that you’ve been with for a long time, dress up for yourself and make up for yourself.

March 3rd, 2012Spa Decor

Murad Transforming Skincare

I recently went to a spa in the city because I was up there with some girlfriends and this spa came highly recommended.  But what’s most impressive about the spa was its decor – I loved it.  I loved the ceiling lights there and I had wanted to ask them where they had gotten them from – but they were so busy I didn’t get a chance.   So guess who is going to the spa again next week – just because I need to find out where they got their ceiling lights.  I hope to find something on line that was just theirs but am having no luck – so I have to eat humble pie and ask for the information.  But as soon as I find it – I will post them up and let you see.  I had forgotten to bring my camera – but if you see it – you will know that I was right about the uniqueness of the ceiling lights.

How many times have you gone window shopping and end up buying the most expensive thing that you never set out to get?  I’m sure a lot of ladies out there are just like me – but don’t blame yourself for it – because you ain’t the only one doing that.  I’m so guilty about it – I’m sometimes shocked at myself.  So I did end up eying on 2 rings and couldn’t decide which one to buy and guess what I did?  bought both of them !  terrible ! terrible!  now I’m going to have to have toast for lunch, dinner and breakfast everyday.

February 27th, 2012Dream Prom Dress

Murad Transforming Skincare

This is dream prom dress I want for my daughter when she goes for her first prom  – isn’t this pretty or what?  I saw it on a show -  Something by design the name of the show – Jane by design – the spouse told me a minute ago.  When I was younger – my mother would never think of buying such an expensive prom dress for me.  All my previous prom dresses were make shift ones – or borrowed ones because my school friends would take pity on me for not being able to afford to buy one to attend the prom – so they would loan me one of theirs from a previous years so that I can go.

So when my daughter goes for her first real prom – I’m going to get a nice dress but of course, I’m not going to go crazy and get her a $1000 prom dress.  I want a big puffy dress for her and a classy one.  What about you – ?  what was your dream prom dress?
