Anyone whose been wearing glasses know the importance of choosing one that suits the face just right. A pair of spectacles can make or break your look and never underestimate that for a second. Always make sure you bring someone you trust to help you choose your new pair especially for folks like me who won't be able to see a thing once I've taken off the pair I'm wearing. When you are peering at the mirror with your potentially new pair, things always don't look as good further away.
And of course there's always pricing to consider. The right pair also means the right one with the right price and I know exactly where I can find one or two. You have to try it too over at zennioptical.com. They carry the latest fashion and with just about any kind of lenses you can imagine. The prices are also to die for! Just check out the selection below.. Awesome?

Summer is here! And although that means it's extremely hot for me. It also means getting a tan for many. So I was thought this might be useful information as I myself was a bit blur about it...
What is the difference between SPF and PA?
Well the SPF number helps you figure out how long you can be in the sun before burning, which is caused by UVB rays. So if you usually burn after 10minutes and you have an SPF25 sunscreen, you can stay in the sun 25 times longer without burning which is 250minutes.
PA is the Japanese unit of measurement for UVA protection. The PA rating is usually followed by "+" signs - so the more pluses, the higher level of UVA protection.
Get Tanned not Burned!

I've been blessed with non-problematic complexion. For that I am thankful. As you can see from the Beauty Secret Meme I did a few days back, I don't give my complexion any special treatment except for the moisturizer I use daily due to my combination skin, (we can't have the dry part wrinkling before the oily zone, now can we?).
But you know what, I feel a zit coming on and I'm reminded of a cousin of mine who did have problematic skin once but now her face have cleared up. Totally cleared up. She told me that she used this natural acne treatment as recommended by a friend of hers and that seemed to do the trick. Within a year, no new acnes popped out and her skin is now clear of all her previous blemishes. We did not get into details as the timing was totally off (I met her at the wedding in SG) but I'm wondering now what it is... hmm.. I'll call her and find out soon.

I'm blessed to be living in a country where the sun always shine. However for those of you that live in places where you experience the four seasons, winter might find your skin at its dryness. Here's a tip to beat the winter dryness.
To repair and fully hydrate your skin - simply find a large basin and fill it with steamy hot water. Take a small dab of pure olive oil and place onto the dry areas of your face.
Hold your head over the bowl and let the steam open your pores and moisturize your skin. After about five minutes you just wash away the oil, and you skin will stay silky and soft for weeks!

Everyone know the importance of good posture, be it for health or beauty purposes.
Health because it makes sure that the force of gravity through our body is distributed evenly so that no one structure is overstressed, and beauty because no one likes to see a sloucher. Also, for me, standing up and sitting straight always makes me feel more confident and when you are confident, you are more beautiful.
That is why posture correction is so important. If you are unfortunate enough to not have anyone comment on your posture or help you to correct yours, you can try the posture corrector like the one shown below. This supportive brace helps you to correct your posture while offering support to back strain which is a big possibility if your posture is bad. Best of all, it can be hidden well in most kind of clothing.
Here's to a healthier and beautiful you...
....is at your fingertips. I got this tip from a contributor over at daytipper.
Most makeup artists recommend using your fingers to blend eye shadow, eyeliner, brow shadow,
blush and concealer. Your body warmth helps to heat all types of makeup which causes them to blend more completely. It saves you money and works much better than brushes, so use your fingers ladies, but make sure they are cleansed every single time!

I remember back when I was growing up and how I hated to wear my glasses. So when I managed to get into junior college and as a present for doing so well in my "O" levels, my dad brought me to the optician to get a pair of contact lenses. I was the most excited 16 years old I tell you!
However, being young and a bit careless, I contracted conjunctivitis in my first year of wearing it and had to forgo the lenses and reverted back to my glasses. Oh well, such is life. However, here's some quick tips for lens care in case you are interested:
However, being young and a bit careless, I contracted conjunctivitis in my first year of wearing it and had to forgo the lenses and reverted back to my glasses. Oh well, such is life. However, here's some quick tips for lens care in case you are interested:
- Thoroughly wash and rinse your hands with soap and rinse them until there is no soapy feelings left before handling your contact lenses
- Always apply and remove your lenses one at a time in the same manner, to avoid mixing them up
- Never use anything to clean your lenses except for the recommended multipurpose solutions
- Never sleep without removing your lenses
- Clean and disinfect your lenses every time you remove them
- Keep your multipurpose solution bottles tightly capped when not in use
- Make sure the tips of your solutions bottles never touch any other surface besides the cap (that includes your fingers, eyes or lenses)
- Always throw away expired multipurpose solutions
- Never try to scrimp on multipurpose solutions by re-using them
- Never ever share your lenses
- Rinse your lens storage containers with multipurpose solutions everyday and let it air-dry
- Don't wear your lenses when you're going anywhere near irritating fumes or vapors
- Never swim or soak in a tub when you have your lenses on

A woman with beautiful bustline always turns head. That's why wonderbras are so famous. I noticed, however, some ladies failed to care for our bosom buddies going bra-less all the time and not doing the recommended pectoral exercises. I also see ladies going jogging without their bra!.. This is an absolute "no-no" unless of course you don't mind them sagging before their time. Don't follow the examples of celebrities and the likes of them. They have all the money in the world to correct minor and even major flaws. We don't! So here are some tips to keep our bust in their tip-top condition.
- To check if your bra is giving you enough support, slip off the straps - your bra should stay in place
- Wear a sports bra when exercising, even when on fitness equipment and doing housework, to prevent premature sagging.
- To prevent or reduce sagging, work your pectoral muscles with 1kg weights five times a week. Hold a weight in each hand. Repeat 15 times on each side. Or stand straight and roll your shoulders forwards and backwards in a circular motions for 15 times
- Swimming is also an excellent for shaping and firming the bust
- Apply breast care products in a circular motions, starting below the breasts and moving upwards - this goes against gravity and gives breasts a lift.
- A combination of yoga and weight training can help develop and tone the pectoral muscles under the bust, which gives the appearance of fuller and more shapely breasts.

I just love this tip that I found while surfing today and if you want to look great in pictures, you might just want to give it a try :-)
Cheerio...If you want to look amazing in every photo you take, here are a few simple ways to achieve some great results. First, you should gently stretch and extend yourself (think thin and tall) which will give you a perfect posture. Next, you should keep your chin up a bit (not too high!) to avoid any double chin problems. Lastly, try to place one leg behind the other, as if in mid-walk. This is how the red carpet photos are taken for celebrities and it makes any person's body look slimmer instantly!
Want to get lashes that extend for days? Try this method and see the difference it makes.
If you want to brighten your eyes, what you can use is white eye pencil. Line the inner rim of your eyelids with it. Instantly you eyes will seem to pop out and you'll look more awakened.
- First, use a lash primer which adheres tiny fibers to your lashes, giving you the look of false lashes instantly.
- Next, be sure to curl the lashes, and add one light coat of dark brown mascara.
- After this is mostly dry, curl once more and add a layer of black mascara. This gives your eyes depth and makes for a great smokey eye look.

In the olden times, ladies in the Eastern world have always relied on natural herbs to cure the family's minor ailments and diseases. Along the years, however, these practice lost their appeal and a lot of modern ladies prefer to visit their general practitioner or gynecologist instead. It is nice, therefore, to see a rejuvenation of natural healing being practice again and ladies all over the world now are turning towards herbs for women to keep themselves healthy and their reproductive organs in tip-top condition. Some even find solutions to common conditions relating to uterine and menstruation problems.
One other area that have ladies turning to natural products are natural breast enlargement. Where before, breast enhancement surgery using silicon were very popular and getting all the hype, due to some horrific real life stories told by unfortunate individuals and statistics to back up those details, women are getting extremely worried to go under the knife and looks for alternative solutions to improve their bustline. Vanity is reality and beauty finds a way. Right?
Ladies are nowadays looking for more and more natural approach to increase their bust sizes, be it in the form of creme or oral prescription. There's no embarrassing visit to the doctor's and no surgery! Going Au Naturale is the rage right now :-)

I know if my friends were to read this, they probably gag because they keep telling me "you are not fat"... but i keep telling them.. "yeap.. but i need to tone my body and I'm lazy to do any form of exercise and I don't like seeing myself naked"...heheh..
Anyway..I digress...
I was merrily reading my newspaper one day, a cup of coffee in hand, and I saw this ad...
"Try our slimming package for $10 only - free consultation and advice"
Hmm.. $10.00? I could spare that amount. I called them up and made an appointment to see them. I shall spare you the details of the interview, the part where the consultant asked me to undress, told me to stand in front of the mirror and tell me what needs to go.. what needs to be toned, how much I need to lose... etc etc.... Embarassing moment, I tell you :(
Anyway, after much pestering to get me to sign up for their package and after relentless "no, not yet" from me, to give credit to the slimming center, they did materialize their offer and before I knew it, I was in towels and disposable undies and all prepped up for the herbal scrub and sauna that was to follow. Sounds yummy??.. It was....heavenly :-)
About fifteen minutes passed, the therapist, or so they call themselves, came in and asked me to shower one more time and get ready for the next treatment. This time, she used these electric nodes thingy that is placed on areas that I wanted toned. But not before she took measurements of all the areas first that is, I guess as proof of any reduction...hehehe...
After I got all hooked up, I was asked to lie down on this table, all covered up and made cozy and told to relax while tiny electric pulses ran through me. She told me that if for some reason, I became nauseous to press this button that she placed next to me. Forty minutes came and went off and a timer buzzed and Irene, the therapist, came back in with what looked like plastic wrap. Hmm... After removing all the nodes, she asked me to get up and started massaging me with this cold cream. Next, she asked me to put my hands out and up and to my horror, started wrapping me with the plastic wrap and placed me into a heated blanket.. Now I know how that chicken feel just before it gets baked...lolzz.. To make story ultra short, I lost 3 inches of my waist, 1.5 inches off each of my thighs and 0.5 inches off each of myboobs arms.
On the whole, I had a great experience at the slimming center and I recommend it to anyone who wants to give it a try. However, be strong, this people are trained to brainwash you into signing up for their package. Don't bring excess cash or credit card when visiting them.

Back when I was a career woman, leaving the house with no makeup is a complete "no, no".. Being the personal assistant to the Vice President of a multinational company meant that I would meet visiting clients, so I need to be presentable and "pretty" (actually, more for vanity reasons - hehehe) all the time.
Now, however, since my office is at home, there's really no need to dress up and put on makeup anymore. I also find that I get lazier each day and the only make up that I do put on are my eyeliner and lipstick when I go out. The fact that hubby prefers me without makeup only makes it worse. Special events are the only times that I get "dolled" up for now.
Anyway, recently, I ran out of eyeliner and was looking for my usual brand when I stumbled on this new brand that I've never heard of. It's called "IN2IT". The brand carried the usual range of cosmetic like lipstick, eyeliner and compact powder. Since I could not find the brand I was looking for, I decided to give the eyeliner a try, after all it was only RM16.90 as opposed to the RM25.00 that I paid for.

Not expecting any great result, I was pleasantly surprised. The tip had an easy glide, the color was bright and overall, a great value for money. This one is a real winner. I found me a great product which is easy on the wallet. Woooottt!
