Naked

Yes..!! completely naked..!!!

Thank you all for being so nice.. for saying i have great skin.. and great finger nails.. yer all are too nice lah.. 🙂 but truth be told.. the pictures you see below.. are completely make up free..! i haven’t put on make up for more than 8 yrs now. After Chloe was born. .sometimes.. i’m in such a hurry.. i forget to even put on cream on my face. And recently because of my surgery.. i really haven’t taken care of myself at all. So yes.. my face is completely naked.. of make up or anything else.. except for some lip gloss and a dab of color.

Doing The Karen Cheng Pose..?? Almost

Photobucket

I was trying to do the famous Karen Cheng’s Pose.. but as you can see the mirror ain’t so big.. so mother and daughter.. here.. doing our best for Karen Cheng from Snippets of Life. We’ll do better next time.. Karen..!! But really folks.. i do look alot better after my surgeries. .and on the road to recovery. I have color on my face.. and my eyelid got blood… woohoo..!!!!

How Do You Know..? You Feel Better..??

You will know you feel better.. when you want to look pretty .. dressed up.. or like me.. wanna get my eyebrows done. Yes.. this was how i felt today.. after waking up. But you see .. i stretched myself a little bit too much.. by going shopping.. and also eating out. 3 hrs.. is a long time to be out.. so by the time .. i got home.. i was quite exhausted.. tummy not feeling too good. .from the food i ate.. and slept for an hour immediately.

But you know what.. ?? after the second emergency operation.. i listened to my body alot more.. and didn’t pushed myself so much anymore. I wanna get well soon.. but the only way to do it.. is not being stubborn. .and pushed myself.. to the limit. So yes.. wanting to look and feel pretty is the road to recovery .. i believed. What about you ..??

Letting My Hair Down

For years.. since the brat was born .. i have my hair tied up.. because of the convenience.. and because looking after a infant means having her pull your hair.. as and when she wants. But now that she is so much older.. and like i said before.. my surgeries.. sorta made me wake up. .that there are other things more important. So i’m going to highlight my hair.. and literally let my hair down.. and take care of myself more from now on. Not that i haven’t.. but truth be told.. i neglected myself.. alot because of the brat and the business. So yes.. as soon as i’m well.. i’m heading out to Francine’s.

Keegan’s Face

The brat’s babysitter, Keegan had asked me to order for her some Proactiv acne cream, since she didn’t have a credit card to order it for herself. We usually do it for her.. with no problems.. but we haven’t found one that doesn’t need her not to sign up for a follow up course. But she didn’t want that.. because she didn’t know if it would really helped or worked for her skin type or not. So in the end.. we didn’t order it for her, I can’t really blame her.. because it wasn’t cheap either.. and for a kid who is still in school.. she definitely cannot afford to spend that kinda money if it didn’t worked.

Prevention Is Better Than Cure

That’s what my mother used to say. I’m 43 yrs old this year.. but i don’t look my age. Whenever i tell ppl .. i am really 43 years old.. they asked what i use as wrinkle cream..?? but you see .. i don’t use wrinkle cream… i used anti wrinkle cream, never wait for those wrinkles to come out before you do something about it. Proactive is the word..!

Manicure..??

Thanks to everyone who commented that I’ve nice hands and manicured fingers. Truth be told.. i haven’t gone for a manicure since I was pregnant with Chloe. I had such back morning sickness.. i can’t go anywheres at all. And if i do managed to get outta the house.. i would be getting a panic attack.. and PB would have to turn around.. and get me.

After Chloe was born.. i was too overwhelm.. in between helping PB at the store..and managing the employees.. and of course taking a chunk of my time was looking after Chloe.. who never sleeps. Plus the main reason for not doing any manicure no more is because they do it quite differently here. The girl who does my manicure .. seems always in a hurry.. it was quite a different experience that you get here.. as compared to Asia. In Asia.. they try to let you relax.. and enjoy it.. here .. they are so pack.. sometimes.. they forget they are not finished with you .. while attending to another customer. And no . .i don’t do nothing with my fingers.. just cut my own nails. What a huge difference from being back home.. where i get a manicure every 3 weeks. I missed home.

The First Impression Counts

Living in a small town like here and owning a business.. you kind of get to know just about everybody in town. We don’t have very many big offices in town.. nor huge corporation or even representative offices here. We do have a call center here that had been doing great stuff for the people in this town, like opening jobs in various department and different areas.

Some gets hired on . .and some don’t. The reasons are pretty obvious… yet they don’t really know. You see in any interview.. the first impression counts .. and as far as I can see it.. some younger people just don’t know how to boost their image .. nor sell themselves. When I do get a customer who comes in dejected and wonder why he didn’t get the job when he was more qualified, I asked him to try a simple make-over, like taking care of one’s body ordour and skin care regiment that can make one look alot more presentable.

Of course like any man, they feel that putting on perfume and cleansing and exfoliating the face is a girl thing. So i recommended them to this range of product BOSS, BOSS FRAGRANCES, BOSS-FRAGRANCES, HUGO BOSS, prestige, fragrance, BOSS Bottled, BOSS Selection, BOSS femme, BOSS In Motion, BOSS In Motion Edition, BOSS Intense, BOSS Woman, essence de femme, BOSS Soul , which is suitable for both man, woman and teenagers. Afterall the brand BOSS is not girly at all and they do not have to worry about getting teased about it. But of course, I also warned them not to pour the whole bottle of perfume on themselves.. when they are going for the next interview.

Home Body Wrap Kits

Body wraps at health centers or spas are awfully expensive and it’s quite embarrassing to get undress in front of a complete stranger. Therefore, I rather not do it even at the regular beauty shop that I go to. But now you can buy Home body wrap kits, at affordable prices and do them at the comfort of your own home. It is easy to do it yourself, everything is included and they even provide those stretchy bandages. Detoxing and losing those few inches has never been easier.
