Corset Looks

I love corsets, but I stopped wearing mine a few months after my second labor. I was wear the corset, which is part of my body shaper, to help me to get back in shape faster and it worked! Of course, I did watch my diet and do some simple exercise to speed things up, but I didn’t take any pills even after reading the diet pill review. Oh ya, I breastfed for 17 months! LOL!

But if you have a nice body, get some corsets or lace tops from Victoria’s Secret and wear them as normal clothing. Check out some of my picks:

Polkadot corset dress

On top of that, there’s a semi annual sale for up to 50% on selected items, so don’t miss it!

Do It Myself…

I don’t trim my eye brows by myself and I have always been depending on my beautician or my hairdresser to do it for me. I know, I should have learned to do this on my own since I will be staying in Bangkok soon, and I’m not sure if I will find a salon that suits my taste. There’s a few that I will try out later, but I’m not sure if I will like their service.

But luckily, thick and well trim eye brows are trendy now, so I can just let my grow back to its own shape. As long as I pluck away the baby hair under my brows, that should be alright.

Thick eye brows

The next thing I need to worry about is where to continue my yoga and pilates? I hate home gyms so don’t ask me to exercise in the house. I wonder if I can find belly dance classes in Bangkok too?

Jill Stuart Beauty

I must be living in the well for some time. I knew about Jill Stuart Beauty cosmetics, but I only found out that they are only available in Japan!!! The packaging caught my attention as they are lovely and gorgeous. Of course, they won the Package Design Award at Japan Packaging Contest 2006 too, so there’s no doubt that they will be great collectibles.

I think most of us are aware of the clothes by Jill Stuart, but if you are a big fan of the brand and if you happen to stay in Japan (lucky you!!!), don’t miss the pretty cosmetics. Of course, you dress up from head to toe in Jill Stuart, but the makeup will also look nice on you in only body stockings.

Need Money!

I was tempted to get a set of exfoliating products days ago but I told myself not to do so. The set is quite costly, but of course, the products will help to keep my skin radiant even if I don’t go for facial in Bangkok later.

So, maybe I should blog more for money now? That’s why I was so happy to see the pending job available for me at Bloggerwave. If you are interested to make money from blogging, check it out.

However, I don’t think I can blog that much to buy that set! So, it’s still best to ask hubby to pay for it. LOL!


Healthy White UV Protection Lotion by Vaseline

I like the Healthy White UV Protection Lotion by Vaseline. I was being exposed to the sun more than usual during my stay in Bangkok. I didn’t bring my usual sunblock along and my SIL recommended that I get a bottle of UV protection lotion by Vaseline. It’s really popular in Thailand, and most girls use this too. Maybe the lotion is non greasy and it’s truly affordable, that’s why it’s so popular there.

I can actually see the instant brightening effect if I only apply the lotion on one of my legs. It’s like it’s being shined by chandeliers, and it looks more radiant. Nonetheless, I’m not sure what’s the SPF and PA reading of this lotion, so I think I will top it with my regular sunblock for better protection, when I move to Bangkok.

Body Resculpt Svelt by Biotherm

I’ve just bought another bottle of Clarins Total Body Lift at the airport duty free, so I guess I won’t be trying out other slimming products for the time being.

If I knew about the Body Resculpt Svelt by Biotherm earlier, I would have given it a try.

The active ingredients in this body sculpturing cream includes bioactive silicium which stimulates the collagen synthesis to rebuild the skin support network as well as caffeine, which is an effective ingredient in slimming treatment. Most importantly, I don’t have to use it with lots of massage as I really don’t have time to do so twice a day.

But well, I will have to finish my existing body care first before getting my hands on Body Resculpt Svelt. I don’t have my shopping passport now because I’ve spent so much in Bangkok for the past 2 weeks. :P

Trying This Salon…

One of my worries about relocating to Bangkok is I have to find places for facial, spa, massage, hairdo and etc which provide great service at good price. Some of my friends are surprised with how affordable my month pampering is as I really found a few nice salons in Ipoh which are worth your money. So, I hope that I can do the same in Bangkok too.

Firstly, I don’t believe that an expensive salon will provide a better service but the environment might be much better. So, I think I will try by trial and error. I went for Thai massage the other night and I think the masseur did a better job that the other one I tried.

They offer facial and spa too, so I might try them out once I move there. Hopefully, they suit my taste.

Dreaming Of Vacation

A friend of mine is planning for her next vacation now and another friend is having a nice honeymoon away with her husband. I know that I’ve just come back from Bangkok, but it’s not a vacation. We were there for business and setting up a new home, so it’s not only tiring, there’s nothing special about it. I came back being sick now, so that’s how tiring I am.

How I wish I can afford to plan for a vacation this year, and if possible, I would like to go somewhere other than Bangkok! If possible, I would like to go to New York since my brother said it’s such a nice place to go. It’s not only for shopping, New York City Sightseeing is something not to be missed as well. I think going on day tours on a double decker bus sounds very nice as we have time to relax during the journey and just hop down once we reach the famous tourist spots. Besides that, my kids love to ride on the buses as they hardly have the chance here. But if you can afford it, check out the helicopter ride from City Sights NY. It would be nice to see The Big Apple from the sky! However, if you prefer to have a free and easy trip on your own, this site offers tickets to some tourist attractions in New York too, so check it out if you are interested.

So, let me just go to bed early tonight and dream all about having a nice holiday. I don’t think I can have any vacation for months to come!

I Bought These…

I didn’t have a lot of time shopping at the airport. I was basically rushing in and out of Gucci and Coach and then grabbed some skincare products. I already planned on what to get, so it’s pretty easy to grab and go in less than 10 minutes. Hubby was a bit shocked seeing me with 2 shopping bags when he’s back from the toilet. LOL! If it’s not because of me carrying my big handbag and a laptop bag loaded with a laptop, charges, HDMI cables, books and stuffs which are really heavy, I would like to buy more. Besides that, hubby is already carrying 2 heavy bags, so it’s best not to have too many hand carries with us.

On top of that, I can always shop for more next time. I have too many unfinished skincare products on my messy dressing table now. Gosh, I really don’t know if I can finish them soon.

Shopping At The Airport

I’m leaving Bangkok tomorrow and I hope that we can arrive at the airport a few hours earlier as I have some shopping to do. As usual, I will try to grab some skincare products there, and I’m eager to try a few types of foundation and mascara again. If possible, I will check out some handbags too, if time permits.

We are not carrying as many stuffs as the time we arrive, so it’s only a hand carry for me with my laptop, camera, HDMI cables, and charges. I think I can carry a few more shopping bags if I manage to buy more.

Let’s see what can I grab tomorrow. I hope to get some great products at cheaper price!
