Good morning and a great Monday to you all! I've come bearing gifts today! (^_^) I've picked out two winners for the first part of my giveaway and they are: Cheryl Sarah Ser Congratulations! I will be sending an email to both of you to send your prizes. Hope you'll enjoy them! For the rest of participants, thank you all for sending your entries! I appreciate your support. (^_^) I'm sorry ladies for being MIA again! My work life's gone crazy these days that I really cannot squeeze in blogging. I probably wouldn't have time to create this blog post even but I cannot leave y'all hanging wondering who won. (^_^) Speaking of winning, I'll be opening the second part of my giveaway probably before end of this week or next week. Do watch out for that because it's open worldwide!!! Have a blessed day lovelies!

Hey there, dear readers! As I've promised, I'll be holding giveaways - two in total - because: 1) my blog turned two years old last 1st January, 2) my GFC counter hit past 100 followers and 3) my stats registered 50,000+ hits already. I really appreciate all your support to this tiny space on the web - thank you very much! Luxola.com has sponsored the gifts for this giveaway so in honor of that gesture, I'm opening this giveaway for my Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesian readers only. (Luxola currently only ships to these countries.) Other international readers, don't fret - I'll be holding a second giveaway that will be open to all my readers worldwide. (^_~) They asked me to give one away, the other is mine to keep. But I'm just really thankful and blessed that I want to share my goodie bag to you instead and also, so there's more chances for you to win! (^_~) Also, Luxola.com is giving away a Chinese New Year goodie bag with every purchase of at le...

Luxola just announced on Twitter that they will hold a 30% discount promotion on their online store purchases once they hit 500 followers. Follow them now! (@Luxolasg) And oh, if you don't know yet, they're shipping to Malaysia and Indonesia too in addition to Singapore! (^_^) Don't know what they have in store for your beauty needs? Go check out www.luxola.com today! *I'm not paid to post this - just a fan of Luxola!

the title sounded like a movie title, don't it? (^_^) i figured that since it's the last day of 2011, i might as well wrap up the year by sharing the products i didn't really fancy (Disappointments), to the oldies (staples in my makeup arsenal) but goodies (All-time favorites), to the newly loved products (as in discovered in 2011) i do adore (Promising Newcomers) and recent purchases that looks good but i've yet to try myself (Beautiful Discoveries). i could also tell you of what others things i hate and love about this year that's not beauty-related but maybe some other time - since most of my previous posts have been personal and maybe some are not really inclined to read about them. :) my apologies about not replying to some of your queries or some delay in publishing your comments - i'm really just making "sulit" of the holiday season to spend with my hubby and kids. alright, 'nuff intro already! LOL here they are! *note: all products are s...

hey everybody, i've missed getting in touch with you all! i finally decided to end my temporary blogging hiatus as i really cannot contain beauty-related things to myself anymore hehe. but first, i'd like to thank all of you who prayed for Reni and her family. her body was already laid in rest but her spirit will forever be with the Lord. i think if there is an important thing she taught me best is that i should cherish relationships in my life because i do not hold or even know what tomorrow may bring (James 4:13-14). listening to people who loved her the most at her final day of wake in Singapore, they said she brought out the best in them - making them laugh all the time and make them feel good whenever they are with her. i'd like to leave a legacy as such - that people remember you to impart great joy in their lives and therefore is changed forever to do so themselves to others - when i depart this world and rest in the Almighty God's arms. that is actually why i le...

hi readers. sorry if i haven't been posting for a few days. i was totally swamped with work last week and towards the weekend, things that truly matter happened and today i was really strucked by it's reality, i cannot just for the life of me blog about beauty. one of my sister-in-faith has a daughter who is now in the hospital, in a critical condition. our church are praying fervently for her divine healing. her name is Reni and if you can offer a prayer to the Lord Almighty, our Father who sent Jesus Christ to save us from our sins, for her miraculous healing i believe the Lord will hear out your prayer and i'll be very, very grateful. just saw her an hour ago lying on the bed, with his husband at his side and her mother crying out beside me, praying to God, asking Him for His mercy and grace upon her life. i am realizing again that only living for God's glory matters in this life. i've recently had my own battle with sickness middle of this year, when i discovere...

well well well, if it isn't wowing Wednesday hehe! why did i become cheesy again haha! i think realizing that it's a few days from weekend again that makes me jolly! although a bit on the silly side haha. if my attitude is cheerful, it's because am so excited that i'll be again a part of another important event for our church, which is the Christmas carol competition. hoping to give my best to give God the glory! (^_^) ok, anyway i have to cut my bubbly outlook when it comes to this product - Celeteque Advanced Anti-Aging Power Serum (Concentrated Break Off Capsules with Cytostimulin Lipopeptides). Nikki of Askmewhats was so sweet to include this in her gift to me when we met - thanks again Nikki! since i've recently paid attention to skincare, i was really excited to try a range of skincare items. and anti-aging serums definitely are interesting items to try out - after all, who doesn't want to age gracefully? i really wanted this to work for me, unfortun...
