My Favourite Perfume
Are you that kind of person who cannot live without perfume? I am one of them. Before i go out, i will definitely spray perfume. I have more than 10 different kinds of perfume at home such as Calvin Klein, Kenzo, Christian Dior, Burberrys and many more... I simply can't live without perfume. If i forgot to spray perfume, i would feel uneasy the whole day as i think spraying perfume is one of my habit.
Number 1 Favourite:
Calvin Klein Euphoria Blossom (MUST TRY)
(Light and Sweet, it is widely accepted by most of the people especially men love the scent)
Number 2 Favourite:
Kenzo Flower
(Light, Crispy and Flowery scent, Great for summer days)
Number 3 Favourite:
Perfume Brit By Burberrys
(Fresh, Feminine and abit sweet)
My perference of scent is light and refreshing. However whenever i go clubbing, i will use Gucci Rush (Very Strong and feminine scent) because of the smoke and alcohol in the club, it definitely can mask those smell. Perfume is also a great idea as a birthday present or christmas present. I wouldn't mine having a new fragrance as a gift. So have you bought your christmas present? Why not try perfume if you run out of ideas.

Secrets Revealed for Eyebrow Shaping

Eyebrows are a very important features on our face. It changes the look on your face too. If you shaped it too slanted up or archy, you may have that fierce look. Hence, shaping it properly placed an important part in brightening our face.
What shapes are you having now?
First, look at the mirror. Are your eyebrows in attractive shape? Have you got it trimmed the last 2 weeks? How does the thickness look like?
1) Look at the eyebrow thickness
2) They should be wider inside and thinner as it is near to the end
3) Start shaping from the Inner towards the end each time.
4) DO NOT Shape your eyebrow too thin. It will make your face look harsh.
5) If this is your first time shaping your eyebrow, i would strongly suggest you to seek the professional and get it done first. Every day or 2, you can tweeze new stray hairs that pop up. This will help your brow to stay in shape for at least 2 to 3 months.
What to do if you already have Thin Eyebrow?
if you have shaped your eyebrow too thin, not too worry. You still can fill them in with powdered eye shadow on the areas that you want to make it look thicker. Wait for your brow to grow before shaping a new one.
What to do if the "Wild hairs" that grow out are longer than the rest?
Even we continue to tweeze our stray hairs every day or 2. Some of your eyebrow hairs will grow longer than the rest especially the edge of the eyebrows Some even curl.
1) Use a eyebrow comb and comb your eyebrow hairs up and trim off the long hair with an eyebrow scissors.
2) Do it slowly. Slide the fine teeth of a comb underneath to lift the hair up and trim off any remaining long hairs.
When is the best time to pluck your eyebrow?
After a shower. Your pores are open up. Apply some vaseline before your pluck. This will minimise the redness. After shaping. You can apply some gel to make the eyebrow looks neater.

What should we consider when buying essential oils?
Think about why you want to buy essential oils. You want to use it for mixing your facial mask? Aromatherapy purposes ? Alternatives to essential oils such as Hydrosols, Absolutes and Fragrance oils may achieve the needs you want.
For example, Hydrosols(eg: rose water) is essential oil diluted with water. It is always used in the case where dilution is not a problem such as for aromatherapy purposes.
Absolutes are generally highly concentrated essential oils which are extracted with solvents, usually from flowers for which steam distillation is impractical. It can be diluted for the same usage. Using Absolutes is the same as essential oils.
Fragrance oils also known as floral water are usually synthetic compounds which have an aroma similar to essential oils. They are cheaper than essential oils, but are not suitable for therapeutic or culinary uses. Use for soap making, oil burner etc.
These are some of the things that we should take note when buying essential oils:
1) Essential oils are always kept in dark or stainless steel and it should not be put near the sunlight or heat.
2) Beware of essential oils kept in clear glass or plastic.
3) If your essential oils indicate " Do not use neet", "Do not use internally", "Do not use undiluted". Please do not use it for massaging as that means they were petrochemically produced. It can only be used for fragrance purposes.
4)Lower price essential oil mean the oil is a second or third distillation of the plant material, in which case it will have far less therapeutic value.
How to test the purity of your essential oil?
Put a few sample drops of your oils on a blotting paper.Pure essential oils will not leave any residue once they have evaporated. Petroleum solvents will. If it does not leave any residue after it dry up, that means your essential oil is very pure.
What do you know about essential oils?

What is essential oils?
An essential oil is any concentrated, hydrophobic liquid containing volatile aroma compounds from plants, which are called aromatic herbs or aromatic plants. They are also known as volatile or ethereal oils, or simply as the "oil of" the plant material from which they were extracted, such as oil of clove.
Everytime when you light your burner with essential oils, do you know what kind of effect it produces? I personally love the smell of lemongrass and was addicted to that scent for a period of time. I guessed that scent just perks up my day.
Essential Oils are categorized into different grades or quality.
Organic: The plant has been grown organically. Nothing was added during distillation.
Natural Essential Oil: No other plant are added during distillation or after distillation.
Normal/pharmaceutical quality: In this type of oil, other plants can be added during the distillation itself. Other things can also be mixed into the oil after distillation, for example, cheaper oils, hybrid oils.
So each time what kind of grades you buy?

All about cellulite 2
1) Drink about 2 Litre of water every day as water helps to flush out toxin. It helps the body to function more efficiently, increases blood circulation and drainage.
2) Reduced your intake on caffeine products like coffee and alcohol.
3) Exercise more regularly
- 15 mins of aerobic exercise (walking on threadmill, riding a bicycle)
- 15 mins of strength exercise ( carry weight)
- if you want to target on thigh areas, you should do more repetition on leg exercise. (ie: leg lift)
- if you want to target on buttock area, do squats
- Stretching exercise after each set of repetition on thigh or buttock.
4) Proper Diet
Eat more fruits and vegetables to build more fiber and antioxidant nutrients. This can easily sweep away harmful free radicals and toxins. Muscle building and skin firming foods should therefore be eaten regularly to get rid of cellulite on thigh areas. Those foods are those rich in protein and fatty acids. These nutrients can be found in fish, lean meat, nuts, whole grains and beans.
5) Cellulite Cream
With all the proper exercising method, you should also apply cellulite cream daily in the morning and before sleep. Massage on the areas that you want to target for 15 mins.
Building more muscles is the ONLY most effective way to reduce the appearance of cellulite. Although we can't eliminate them but we can make it less obvious.

Staying Cellulite Free is a tough thing to maintain. A lot of people always have the impression that only fat people have cellulite but the fact is Slim people also have cellulite. Cellulite is also one the biggest problem that majority of the women are facing.

How long should we keep our makeups?
~Lipsticks
So far lipsticks is one of the make-up that have longest life-span. Lipsticks cannot be kept more than 2 years. It is very easy to distinguish when to throw away lipsticks and one should stop using to prevent any side effects. You should stop using the lipstick when it taste or smell waxy.
~Powder
Some as long as three years because most powders don't have water.
~Liquid Foundation/Cream Foundation
One year. If it is unopened, it can be kept for maximum 2 years. If the smell or texture starts to change, it is time to buy a new one.
~Mascara
Mascara have the shortest lifespan. 3months to 6 months. ( I was so sad when i heard this and i dumped quite a few today, heartpain, sobz..sobz). As our eyes are the most delicate and sensitive, so it is best to discard it after 3-6 months because every time when we use the mascara, we are contaminating it because our eyes are warm and wet and this can cause bacteria
~Eye Shadows
A year. 2 years for those unopened. If color or smells change, same thing "Throw away".
~Eye Cream
3 - 6 Months.
So is it time for you to clear your old cosmetics? Get rid of those that you should...

Slimming Methods-(Good Vs Bad)
- Slimming Pills
Slimming Pills normally have side effects. The effect is fast but VERY BAD. For those who had tried slimming pills, did you realise the moment you stop taking those pills, you regain back the weight you lost? Or in worse cases, you became fatter after that. You could have side effect like hyperventilation, fatigue, loss of sleep, bad temper, high blood pressure or heart attack blah blah and so on.
- Vomitting
I know some friends who will dig their throat to vomit out whenever food they had consumed after that. They told me that is to prevent their body from absorbing the fats. By doing that, you are not only refraining your body from intaking the nutrients, you become weak and in any cases, you can get stomach ulcers, dyhydration, ruptures of the stomach, swelling and soreness in throat. YUCKS!
- Laxatives
Continuous of Diarrhoea, this also weaken the body immune systems. Some even hospitalised after that.
- Exercising
Exercising is the BEST FORM of slimming. Although I do agree that alot of people are lazy to exercise including myself. Haha. Exercising makes a person healthier, tone your muscles, burn fats, better stamina and better memory too. It increases one person's blood circulation and helps in better skin condition too. People who have exercising habits tend to look younger too.
- Slimming Salon
I used to work in a Spa and Beauty Salon. Going for slimming sessions does helps but it is expensive. It works ONLY when it is accompanied with sensible diet plan. Some people continue to gorge while they are on their slimming courses and complaint the salon for not doing a good job. *Faints* Weightloss require a strict diet too.... A benefit about slimming courses is it helps to target to areas that you want a better contour because of the slimming machines they have.
