Fruit of the Earth Aloe Vera Gel Review

Enough of random posts..Today, just wanna do a simple review on a skin care product. It's nothing but Fruit of the Earth Aloe Vera Gel... Alright!

Let me bring you to understand more about this product.

As you can see, I'm holding the product [and my face is telling you how much I love this baby here]. I've introduced this awesome product into my regimen and love it after using around 1 month. This product contains 100% Aloe vera gel. Yup..the aloe vera that we can get from the garden.. Do you know that aloe vera gel is very good for the skin? It has antibacterial property, anti-inflammatory, aids with digestion, heals cuts and wounds and so on..It also can relieves sun burn and dry skin. Aloe vera gel perfects as a skin moisturizer for dry skin, but I also notice that it's perfect for oily skin too like mine.

Reason? The gel consistency works well on oily skin because gel means less oil and more water inside it. Which means less oil to have potential to clog your pores. Erm..for me, I think this aloe vera gel is not moisturizing enough when used alone. I find that it's good to help regulating my sebum level, but, not moisturizing for my skin.. After watching some review on YouTube, I tried blending the gel with other moisturizer that I used which tends to make my skin oily after few hours.

Surprisingly, blending the aloe vera gel and my moisturizer (Cetaphil) in 2:1 ratio, the effect on my skin is perfect. My skin is matte, and moisturized. In addition, I used aloe vera gel as my healing gel for wounds. Dramatically, my wound healed in 5 days time. Awesome! After using this gel in my skin care routine, I can notice less pimples nowadays. Skin is no longer oily and flaky... Happy ^_^

But no matter how good product is, beauty is skin deep..It's also reflects you health and body. There's no point using expensive products, but your lifestyle, diet, rest and habit are terrible..

Remember to drink lots of water as water will flush out all the toxins from the body, making your body and skin hydrated. When your skin is hydrated,

less oil will be produced to hydrate it = less chances of breakouts..!

I drink a glass of green tea everyday as it is packed with antioxidants, detoxify and cleanse the body from inside out... Also, try get lots of sleep, find ways to release stress and if better go for exercise..

That's all for this time

Remember, beauty is the eye of the beholder...

You are beautiful in your own way..

Planning for Painting my Hair

My hair is longer now so it's suitable to braid and style. As you can see, I've braided my hair. This style is french braid. At the top side of my hair it is the french braid, and reaching the side of my ear, it is the ordinary braid.. Usually this braiding can be used to create curled hair when left overnight.

I've bought Revlon Hair Color. The shade is in light brown color, so when it matches with my black hair, it will create a darker brown color. I've not tried it yet. Really excited! =) Finally I can have a different color hair for the coming CNY! Yay!

Happy Painting my hair!!!

Camwhore queen

Presenting the camwhore queen of this blog..Miss Pig @ Lai Peng...

Obviously this pig is a beauty obsess and she loves to take pic..of herself...camwhoring is part of her daily activity if she's free...

Getting ready to go out for lunch with her baby boy

Another shot of a cool look...fail!

Today I had some fun curling my hair in two hours time WITHOUT heat! All I need was to get my hair damp, then start twisting..just like the video shown...

In this video, Bubbi made one twisted hair bun, but for myself I made 6 small little buns coz my hair is way shorter and making just one bun is no way for me... it will be very difficult to tie the bun..

The end product?!

My left side view of the hair after 2 hours..

It's slightly curled

Pretty liking the effect

Sorry i was trying to look more friendly by smiling..

Here's another side of my hair but can't really see the waves...

Right now I'm still having my DIY mask on..Been breaking out badly last week, but now thanks to this mask, it's healing already..It's made from simple ingredients: oatmeal, honey and natural yogurt..Check this link out for the information: Mask

Camwhoring rocks! wtf!

Bel Pasto Italian Restaurant

Today I went for lunch with Baby at Bel Pasto Italian Restaurant at Kepong Baru. The have two branch one in Kepong Baru, and another one in Kepong, near Aman Puri Condominium. The food prices there are pretty standard for those dine-in restaurant. The only thing we find worth dining is their set lunch. Their set lunch ranges from RM9.90 to RM29.90. The cheapest set is the one that me and my love always go for. The set consists of a soup of the day, main course and a glass or drink.

My favorite choice of main course is always the Spaghetti Olio while my baby boy is Pizza Margeritta.. Their soup of the day for today is Cream of Chicken..which I personally find not as appetizing as the pumpkin soup..

Forgotten to take my Spaghetti Olio..my bad! Sorry..But this is how the pizza and soup looks like:

You can see the ambiance and the surroundings in the restaurant. Well it looks quite bright in the restaurant but the lighting is quite dim and will be very romantic for couples at night. Minus the noisy conversations by other people, this place is suitable for couples as a romantic date. But today there was a lot of people and it was very very noisy..i can barely hear what my love was talking about! =.="

My custard pudding is done! My first time experience of making caramel...

This is the best pudding ever...I love it.!

Besties Genting Trip September 2011

Right..I know it's already 2012 and kinda late for this post wtf! Sorry..but then since I'm 'pretty' not occupied by my cancer notes now, I wanna update about our little trip. Well, this trip was a successful one as we besties have known each other for so many years but never go for any holiday together for once..well outing was too much and most in Ipoh..This time we wanna go OUT from Ipoh together! It took us few months to plan everything ahead, buy the tickets for transport, buffet and also booking rooms. Miss Ngeaw was in charged to book the room while I will be the on providing accommodation a day before the trip, buying the tickets and the manager of the trip..LOL..

There are many photos we took but difficult to post all here. If you are interested to view the pictures, kindly add me in FB and view, or you can clink this link: Besties Genting

We arrived at Genting through GoGenting bus. You can get the package at GoGenting booth in Gombak LRT station, KL central, Pudu Raya and One Utama. The one day package they offer are two way transfer for bus and cable car, one inter-changeable ticket for either buffet lunch at Coffee Terrace or Outdoor theme park entrance ticket. All these are only RM47. I can tell you that the buffet lunch cost about RM55 per person. So the package is a good deal actually. Unfortunately this package is only for one day trip. So if you plan to stay over at Genting like us, the ticket is still worth it if u go for the buffet! [at least u can avoid cracking your head thinking what to eat]. The buffet has loads of choices from local cuisine to western, indian and japanese food. Delicious! That's all I can say..check out these links for more information : GoGenting & Coffee Terrace

The pictures are randomly arranged..Lol..sorry about that...

The weather was good..windy..bright and no haze..this means we can go play

This picture was taken by Jyn Ling..she entered the cable car before us...so she was left alone at another cable car..she took picture of us..

So, playing time...the good thing about Genting themepark is that, adult can play children games but not the other way round..

One thing about me, camwhoring is there all the time

Our lovely Miss Ngeaw been pretty obsess with the Worm Height Measurer..

Our Chia Wen is so cute...

Got no idea why Jyn Ling gave such reaction

Group picture while waiting for our cable car. We waited for 1 hour that day. Lesson learnt: NEVER go Genting during peak season! ='(

Our SECOND ride for Space Shot. Jyn Ling and I was so thrilled after the first ride and dragged Wai Leng together for the 2nd time but unfortunately, she was not that 'brave' for this..ended up crying after the ride..Sorry!

W.Leng dragged us to play the water boat and I wanted to curse her as I ended up wet for the whole body + with the cold wind, I caught a cold and could not breathe the whole day..

Flash back to before the boat ride..you can see how excited she was..We waited for so long also and the stupid boat took ages to go up the slope..OMG...wtf! There was two slopes, means we will be wet for two times.. I was already wet after the first slope and the boat was moving soooooo slowly to the second slope...I was shivering like helll..... wth! That's how I got my cold! TQ wai leng!!! Cis..but it was fun!

Killing her already!

Up next is some crazy or cute individual pictures

Chia wen loves green color which makes her loves plants too

Too tired..but still wanna be cute!

Hello! I'm cute Mashi

See how lazy Miss Ngeaw was...

More group photos in Chocolate land

We are que-ing for pirate ship..greatest excitement! Wai Leng left behind to guard bag..she said she will feel sea sick and heart attack if she got on the boat..LOL...

Time for lunch! We were at Coffee Terrace!

From everyone's expression, u know that the food is simply delicious! Here's we found nice Durian ice cream...hehe...

I miss our time together besties...See you all again soon this CNY..

Love u all!

Cooking on the run

Lately, I've been cooking my meals everyday. There will be fruits and vegetables daily and protein. My protein sources are fish, lean chicken breast meat and egg. For rice, I take low glycemic index (GI) source like brown rice. I enjoyed cooking like I said b4. It's been ages since I last posted any cooking recipe..Well, been super busy to try out new recipe.

Tang Yuen Jie just passed not long ago. I totally forgotten to post a beautiful picture of the glutinous rice balls sweet that I made..

I love colors and when you see the glutinous rice balls, you will know the colorful ones are mine..

My plan for tomorrow is to try this Custard pudding out! I've tried out the Pumpkin pottage by this channel and it's super easy to make. Delicious as well... try this out too : Pumpkin

Best of luck to me!

Weather.....

Haiz...weather lately has been outrageously hot and gone crazy. I don't have a thermometer with me or else I would be trying to measure the temperature outside. Now, at 8.11pm, I feel as if it's 11am (reaching hot temperature of noon). The house is stuffy, humid and warm. I can't sleep soundly if the fan is not turned to maximum; 3 and stopped to face me.. OMG...

Weather....

Y u so hot????

Can't you just cool down??

Weather of our beloved earth is getting worse everyday and the hot climate now is due to worsening of global warming. Cut down of trees, increase number of cars on the roads and also open burning have contributed to high content of Carbon dioxide in the air. High CO2 is bad because it will act as an insulator, trapping heat from being released to the outer space. This leads to rise of earth's temperature, melting of ice at north and south poles, and rise of sea level, leading to flash floods...

I hope people are aware of the dangerous of global warming...If this continues, I guess we will be living in a convection oven no matter is day or night ..WTF...Haizz..

Right now, I just want to stay in front of a fan...

Wait a minute?! Why fan but not air-cond??

That is because...

There's no air cond in house now wtf!

Lol...

Happy 'hotting' and roasting

Enjoy this beautiful song to 'chill' myself from the hot weather!

Relaxation

This was recommended by William, and it's a channel called The Food Hospital. This is a UK TV channel about how a General Practitioner (GP), Dietitian and a surgeon work together to help solving various diseases and condition using food as medicine..Very interesting channel and I do learn a lot of things...

Welcome 2012, Bye Bye 2011

Haha..Today is 3rd January 2012. I know it's little later to post Happy New Year, but anyway, HAPPY NEW YEAR people! This coming year is my final year in study life and also a new year for working life. Hope I will be ready soon! Scary! ='(

I know a lot of people have resolution for new year. Honestly I don't have any resolution or goals every year. I face my days without having to think what is coming up next. I guess to me, no point having so much goals and resolutions because I may not do it, or even remember it throughout the year...so my only resolution to be strong to face whatever that comes ahead...

I also must try to believe myself that I'm strong and I can do it. I think by having such belief as resolution, it can help us to achieve other resolutions that we want. Attitude always 100%..

Believe that you can success, and you will!

In 2012 this year, all I want most is everyone I love and care for are healthy and happy...because they happy I'm happy...

For so many years, I reflected myself and noticed that I've learnt to be more mature, to be happy all the time (if can), to trust myself that I can do it and everything will have a solution. I learn to trust my lover more and our relationship is very stable now (been together for almost 5 years), I learn to respect other people and to listen to others as well...

What I can't do until now is to read news daily, to update myself through the Dietetic Websites...and also to be 'OK' at those people that think they are good at something but in fact they are not so! [trying my best to change though]. Well there's a saying goes : Sei Sing Pat Goi (Will never change the attitude), and I believe myself fit to it..I admit that for me to change is not easy! LOL, we'll wait and see ya!

So Happy New Year again and take good care!
