Wrinklelift Retino Science Lotion AA by Shiseido

I was aware of this product when it was launched, but I thought it was really expensive. Little that I know, it was just selling at affordable price, so I got one to try out.

As you know, I don’t sleep much, so my skin can be very dry sometimes. Dry skin tends to create more fine lines, and if you continue to ignore the lines, they will turn into wrinkles. Thus, I need something that will prevent the lines from forming up, and Retinol ACE can help to firm up the skin and smooth the lines away. However, all Retinol products are very fragile and they break down easily by sunlight and heat. That’s why I only use this product at night, after cleanse and before my Casmara enzyme with botox.

When the lotion is pressed out, you can feel the tiny texture in the liquid, just like scrubs. But they are actually microcapsules of Retinol ACE, so you have to massage the lotion until the capsules break down and absorb into your skin. I tried for 2 nights and I can see the glow instantly after applying the lotion. I massage it all over my face, including my eye area and neck too. My eye area is very dry, so I have to take good care of it.

Hopefully, after prolong use, my skin will remain youthful and radiant.

Get a Nice House with Mortgage Oregon

I saw a few houses that I like in Ipoh, but they don’t have big gardens. I’m very particular about the size of the garden than anything else. The house can be in reasonable sizes, but if the garden is small, I don’t fancy them at all. I got used to staying in a house with a big garden, so please bear with my preference. LOL! That’s why I have no intention of getting an apartment, I don’t like the one we have in KL, but luckily, we only stay there once in a blue moon.

But getting a big house means getting a bigger mortgage. If you are from Oregon, you can easily get an Oregon home mortgage. Oregon Best Mortgage can help you to get the best mortgage by giving you the quote based on the amount you would like to borrow. On top of that, if you already have a house, and you would like to consolidate your debt, you can also try Oregon mortgage refinance. By refinancing you house, you may get the extra cash that you need when it is urgent.

As for me, I would rather wait. If we don’t get to pay out a huge amount of down payment, the debt will be too much to bear. So, I would rather wait until we are really ready for a house.

Camping

I went camping a lot when I was in high school. I camped at least twice a year, and I loved camping because I could be with my friends for days and nights, and it made me feel “grown up”. :)

Most of the camps I went were training camps, which were something like a military camp. LOL! We had tight schedule to be followed, and we had a few courses like first aids, marching, arts and dances, general knowledge and etc. I loved them the most when we had cooking competition, it’s fun to me because I didn’t have a chance to do so at home.

So, if you are wondering about how camping will be, you can also check out Camping 101, an introduction to camping from Camp Earth. This site provides a comprehensive information about different types of camping, camp sites, and also tips on having a memorable camping experience. I will definitely bring my kids for a camp when they are ready for one, so I will bookmark this site to provide me more insights on how to haveĀ  a great camp with young children.

There is a forum that I can join in and provide my own experience also. I think it’s a great site for any camping fan like me.

Some Beauty Products I Bought

Firstly, I got something for hubby. He doesn’t have an eye cream, and I think his eye area is pretty bad. I got him the eye cream from Clarins Men to try out.

It has been years since I last bought the products from Clarins. I was looking for highlighter and concealer, so I decided to check out Clarins’ counter because they have one product which is quite good. Of course, I ended up with a few more products like base and tinter.

I have always been using Shiseido products, until the time I was pregnant with my girl. My skin was super sensitive, and I couldn’t use any products. Now, I’m back to get a few products.

I wanted to try Revital WrinkleLift Retino Science Lotion AA, so I got it. I put it on just now, before my Casmara enzyme with botox. I felt that my nosee was a bit oily, so I will have to avoid putting it on my T-zone. For the rest of my face, it feels ok. I will need sometime to really try it out. I’m still not sure if it will make wonder to my skin.

Another thing I like about Shiseido is they always give a lot of samples. So, I will pass the Beneficiance series to my mum.

 

I got a few products that I will try on later. Then I will update about them individually.

Keep in Shape

I’ve just bought myself a pair of bikini for my trip to Bali next month. I haven’t worn a bikini before, and the most I would go for is tw0-piece swimsuit. But this time, I am hoping to try something new. If I don’t wear a bikini now, when will I be wearing one? When I am 40 years old? LOL!

So, I have to start watching my weight and keep myself in good shape to look good in bikini. I don’t like to go on diet. I have always believed that a combination of a well balance diet and adequate exercise is the best way to lose weight. On top of that, I may also use a calorie counter to watch my calorie intake, if it is necessary.

I used to have a manual calorie counter which I can’t remember where I placed it. But never mind, it’s easy to get a free calorie counter online. Just sign up with My Fitness Pal, and I can easily do my calorie counting anywhere and anytime, as long as I have internet connection. I can also create my personal food database and this site can help me to keep track of the food I took in the past, and it’s easily to keep track of the indulgences that gave me the extra kilos!

So, what is the calorie for a plate of nasi lemak? It’s my favorite breakfast….
