I have been keeping my hair for more than 2 years. It’s curly most of the time as I would perm it every 6 months. While most ladies think that permed hair is very hard to be managed, I have the different opinion. You just need to apply some hair styling products on it after washing your hair and that’s it. I don’t even blow mine. It’s a bliss to me as I don’t have to comb it. LOL!
But if you want your hair to look romantically curly, you might need to have a hair curler at home. I have always thought of getting one but I know that I won’t do it by myself. I’m too lazy lah! Just get one of those battery operated hair curlers like the Japanese girls if you want your hair to stay in that way all day long or while traveling.
But I don’t have one, so I always ask my hairdresser to curl it for me a day before I travel. At my hair treatment yesterday, I told my hairdresser that I would like to have a bob cut. I might not look nice, but I’m willing to take the risk. She asked me to think about it as I won’t have curly hairstyle as I am having now, and it might be boring looking the same with a bob cut. I have a week to think about this, and I haven’t make up my mind. Hubby said just go ahead if I want to get a haircut. It’s not like I can attract any hot hunk as he might be more interested in Dodge Charger accessory than looking at me. *angry* So, short or curly?
A friend of mine asked me this question, “How much do I spend on my face, including the skincare products and facial treatments?” Honestly, I try my best not to get the exact figure as I know I would have a heart attack knowing the truth! Luckily, I hardly buy makeup as I don’t use them much. For a woman who takes good care of her face and applies makeup everyday, the cost will be more as you will need to get some seasonal cosmetics to update your look. Stuffs like these need money, and if you make a lot from real estate flipping, you don’t have to worry anything about it.
But for most stay-at-home mothers who don’t have an income, they hardly take good care of themselves. It’s not that they don’t want to but they set other priorities when it comes to spending money. But in my opinion, you just have to look for the right products for yourself. Forget about the advertisements as not all expensive products are good as claimed. Sometimes, they are expensive just because of branding and packaging. I personally tried a lot, so I know but can’t tell which are lousy. LOL!
So, how much do I spend? I think it’s about RM500 per month. Not much huh? I don’t use makeup mah!
I didn’t shop a lot of myself in Bangkok and the only thing I got is a blouse from Zara. It’s one of my favorite brand, but I won’t get anything unless there is a sale! We bought lots of clothes for the kids, so they are all prepared for Chinese New Year. Hubby wanted to get some camping gear but after some thoughts, he let it go. It’s too troublesome moving those things back!
So, when we reached Bangkok International Airport yesterday, I quickly grabbed some skincare from the duty free as Lamer is cheaper here!!! I’m not sure about Clarins, but I needed a blusher and a base, so I simply grabbed them. Besides, hubby was willing to pay mah. LOL!
Too bad I didn’t have much time for more, if not I will end up with more than a dozen bottles of beauty products!!!
Check this out:
Beauty is something everyone admires and perfumes and fragrances can be a big part of that. You can get discount perfumes online for those interested in buying fragrances like mens cologne.
The moment I got down from the plane and reached Bangkok International Airport, I went to check out the prices of skincare and perfumes. I didn’t notice any big difference in the prices as comparing to what I can get in Malaysia, and it’s not cheaper either after conversion. I thought of getting a lot of products here, but how I doubt about this.
I will do some shopping in Bangkok city tomorrow and hopefully I can get some nice products here. Even if hubby keeps saying that I don’t have to spend so much products on myself and I will be better off getting those vitamins for women, I just won’t believer him!
I don’t care. I bought a set of Casmara days ago and now I’m trying to shop for more. LOL!
I wonder if I should get a copy of this makeup book called Beauty 103, written by Li Qian Rong? I am not good at Chinese, but I will try to figure it out by looking at the photos. Besides that, I’m more interested to know more about the products she used that the makeup tips. It’s not easy to figure out which products should we buy and most of the time, we will just ended up with tonnes of unfinished products on our dressing tables. All these books may have some commercial influence, but they provide insights on which products are better too.
Let’s see if I have time to grab a copy from the book store…
I’m leaving for Bangkok in 2 days and I’m totally excited about it! It’s been years since my last trip to Bangkok and I miss shopping there like a queen. The things are cheap if you know how to bargain for a better price. However, I will be going there with my kids and I doubt I have time for shopping. It’s not easy leaving them to hubby’s care and I don’t want them to waste their time waiting for me to do my shopping as well.
If only we can stay somewhere near the shopping complexes in the city of Bangkok, then I will sneak out when the kids are taking their afternoon nap. I found some cheap hotels in Bangkok from the directory of Hotel Guides, but I know that hubby will not stay at the hotels. We can just stay at FIL’s home, unless we are going to Chiang Mai. I told hubby that if time permits, we might just make a trip to Chiang Mai since I haven’t been there. The kids might like the cold weather too and I have packed well for them.
But what about shopping then? I guess I will only know how our travel plan goes once we reach Bangkok later.
I wanted to get some skin care and cosmetic from Jusco this afternoon, but the car park was so parked! I couldn’t find a parking space and so I went to get my set of casmara skin care instead.
I wanted to try the latest foundation from Shiseido Maquillage and besides, there is a member promotion of getting some cash vouchers, so I didn’t want to miss it!!! But too bad, I really couldn’t find a space, so I can forget about the foundation for the time being. I wonder if I have time to shop at the airport later in Bangkok? If I do, I might want to try out the foundation from Chanel Mat Lumiere collection.
I read some nice reviews about the foundation from these 2 brand names, and I’m eager to try them out!
Both hubby and I don’t wear watches. If we need to check the time, we will just use our handphones. But do you think that it’s more convenient for us to have a pocket watch?
But we will look very old fashion if we bring it around huh? LOL! In my opinion, it’s more for collection instead of daily use. If you haven’t got a Christmas present for your father, how about a pocket watch?
I’m using a Nokia N95 which is not a lady phone. It looks very thick and manly. If it’s not because of the wide screen and how well it’s rated, I won’t buy the phone in the first place. Frankly, I prefer something more feminine, just like the Prada phone by LG.
Of course, guys can get it too, but I think it’s more like a fashion product than a ordinary phone. But I won’t buy another phone now since I’ve just spent a lot on N95. Unless someone gives me a new unlocked phone by Prada, if not I don’t think I have a chance of getting one. Should I give hubby a hint? LOL! But it’s a long way before my next birthday!
I try my best to hit the sack before 1am these days. I don’t stay up for blogging now, and my dark circles improved a lot. To have a good night sleep, it’s best for me to cut down on my coffee intake and I try not to drink too much water at night to prevent frequent bladder movement as well as water retention. Besides that, a nice bedding in purple might also good to sooth myself to dreamland faster if it’s comfortable and relaxing enough.
Of course, you can just pick any bedding graphic of your choice like the Flag Bedding if it makes you sleepy and patriotic. LOL! As long as your bed looks comfortable and inviting to you, any bedding will be good enough.
I want to have mine in cool colors. It’s just my personal preference.
