Cookware for my Halogen Oven

I love my Halogen oven but I am still not sure if I can use my casserole cookware in it. I mean it’s the halogen oven is like a convection oven only it is supposed to speed cooking up and make it taste better. I wonder if it would help if I used ceramic insulators for instance or any insulators for that matter. I am so worried that it might explode in the oven.. Then I would not only destroy the cookware but my lovely oven as well 🙁

Resting Weekend

I’ve had been extra busy these past few weeks. From rushing out jobs and leaving last minute to Singapore to yet another busy schedule, I have not had moment rest at all. I’m trying to take it easy this weekend and thank goodness I was able to do that just that. I am able to just sit back and relax on my yoga mat that I got from some yoga supplies wholesaler and sit around and play with my fur-kids and spending quality time with Azwaj.

Yes, life is bliss when you work on your own time 🙂

I Love BB Cream

I don’t normally used foundation as sometimes I feel like my face becomes more oily than it usually is. I also don’t like that my nose becomes extra oily making me feel like I need to touch up all the time. Having said that I do love the way my face looks polished with foundation though.. lol..

I’ve recently heard about all the buzz around BB cream and decided to give it a try one day. I chose a reputable brand and all I can say is that I am loving the way it feels on my skin. It gives me the polished look minus the greasy feeling and the 50SPF coverage that is given by the BB Cream of my choice, makes it the best cream for me right now. . I found my face is less oily although I have been out the whole day and I don’t feel like I need to touch up all the time.

Anyway, although the BB cream that I am using makes my pores smaller and makes the face looks more polished, I must admit that I think I need to look for a good concealer (I heard napoleon perdis is good) as there are some blemishes that needs extra coverage. Ahh.. the price of vanity… lol!

Jackets Can Get You Through Most Events

When I was a nine to five office personnel, I love wearing jackets and cardigans. I found I can be sporting a casual top for a hot weather but the moment I put on my jacket or cardigan, I am ready to face the corporate world. Of course shorts like the one shown here is a no no for the office but throw a quick slip skirt over it and you are set for that meeting. Don’t you agree?

I don’t use my jackets as often as I would like to nowadays as  I don’t attend a lot of meetings as most of my clients are overseas and we just use Skype as our mode of communication, . Hubby said it’s ok though to wear it at home if I wanted to ..lol (ya he’s funny that way..)

Anyway, I simply love this jacket that this model is wearing. It’s a classic cut with nice soft lapels and the length will correct most figure flaws. It can look formal with a pencil skirt or nicely cut pants or with this sexy shorts, you look awesome enough for a day out shopping or outing with some friends during the weekends! Love it!

12 Signs of Breast Cancer

One of my aunt just got diagnosed with breast cancer and since there is a history of breast cancer in my family, I want to make sure I am free of it and if I do have it then I get diagnosed earlier than later. So I have made an appointment for a mammogram on my next trip back to Singapore. My mom had done hers and she said it was a piece of cake with no pain involved so I reckon I don’t have anything to worry about .

Having said that, here are the 12 signs of breast cancer than you can look out. If you think you have any of the signs, consult your doctor immediately!.

Business Card: Done!

I just recently designed and made my business cards (FINALLY!..lol). It’s simple yet informative and I love it! So now when I go to events, I can give them out as oppose to telling them I ran out (totally untrue since I don’t have in the first place).

Anyway, next I am planning to make some form of wholesale catalogs to showcase my work but I reckon not so soon coz as it is, I am already drowning with work and not enjoying life enough.

Have a great weekend all!

Airbrushing Makeup

I don’t use a lot of makeup. The only makeup I use daily are eyeliner and lipstick. However when I do go out for special occasion or when I need that extra boost of confidence, I do tend to go all out. From foundation to blusher, from eye-shadow to even lip liner. Yeap, like I say, I go all out to look polished and “gorgeous”..lol..

Anyway, I recently found out about airbrushing makeup and I must say I am extremely curious to find out how it works. The website gave full instruction on how to use the gadget to apply foundation and blusher (me being a gadget girl, simply loves that) and pro tips on how to achieve the look you want. There is a Signature Started Kit as shown below and you can choose three items, namely foundation, highlighter and blusher for USD199.  My interest is peaked.

Anyway, I really would love to see a live demo and so I looked around for a video. I found this one and I was like.. WOW!! It’s literally airbrushing your makeup onto your face. I am really impressed though I reckon I would need a lot of practice so as not to look like a clown right? hahahha

Learning a Musical Instrument

When I was in primary three, our music teacher told us that all of us are required to learn to play a musical instrument. We thought we could choose our instrument but as it turned out the teacher already selected one for us. It was the harmonica. Now of course we didn’t need to buy them from harmonicas guitar center, but we still need to get a specific kind. In the end, since lots of parents were complaining they couldn’t find the same one as the teacher wanted, we ended up asking the teacher to order for us.

What happened to my harmonica? I really don’t know but I do know if you give me harmonica now, I couldn’t play it even to save my life. Lol!
