I passed by Boots just now, and caught my eyes on some beauty supplements. There are these whitening pills by Boots which are claimed to help in whitening process. Previously, I tried beauty supplements by Fancl and DHC, but after that I totally stopped. I’m not one of those who loves to swallow pills, except the prenatal vitamins which I was “forced” to take during my pregnancy.
I wonder if those whitening pills really work?
My mom has always thought that I wasted my degree by not working and choosing the path of being a mother. She has high expectation of me since young, and I had been a grade A student throughout my schooling years. But after working for a few years, I had that mothering instinct of putting my kids in front of anything else, so I gave up my work and business.
But now that my kids are older, I felt like going back to work again. Nonetheless, it’s not that easy, considering that I’m an expat in another country now and I don’t know much about the language. Some said that I should make good use of my free time, while my kids are at school. Maybe I should consider an online university and pursuing an online nursing degree. Not that I’m really interested in nursing, but it might be a good opportunity to me, considering that I’m so curious about working at one of those plastic surgery hospitals in Bangkok. LOL!
Anyway, please take a peep at the links if you are interesting in pursuing an online degrees or master degrees, provided by Western Governors Online University. There are various programs here which are cater for health care professionals. So check it out.
I like to check out the things at Boots because most of the products are very affordable. Furthermore, it’s the leading pharmacy from UK, so the products are more reliable. My SIL tried the diet pills by Boots and she lost some weight. Thus, out of curiosity, I got myself a box of carbo block by Boots too. 
I’m not sure if they are the best diet pills as I start taking the pills when I’m having my holiday back home.
I know that I will be feasting like crazy back home, so I better swallow some pills and see if I will gain weight, maintain or lose any in one month. I shall check my calorie count too, as no matter what pills we take, as long as our calorie intake is high, you can forget about losing weight. So, let’s see how.
 I’ve bought myself a pair of FitFlop and I’ve been wearing it for days. I didn’t snap a photo of my flip flop as it’s quite dirty now. It’s been raining, and the white bottom is not as nice as it was when I first bought it.
Too bad there are not a lot of choices here, so I had to get myself a pair in Strawberry.
So far, I haven’t seen any significant difference on my thighs and b*tt, but then, it’s very comfortable walking in FitFlop. Maybe you still need some fat burners after all, if you want to lose weight faster. As for me, I just enjoy the “cushioned’ feeling of walking in FitFlop. 
I know that I’ve been mentioning about going back to yoga for a million times, but I still haven’t got myself registered! It’s so hard to have my free time without a maid here.
Nonetheless, I’m doing some simple exercise at home, but without a yoga mat, it’s kind of hard to do most of the poses. I’m asking hubby to do me a favor of bring my old mat over, and that map is really good! I’m not sure if he’s willing to do it though.
I don’t have any fitness equipment at home, and judging from the size of my house, it’s impossible to fit one in. LOL! So, hopefully I will tone up a bit from simple exercises at home.
I went to Lancome just now, but too bad, Lancome Oscillation Mascara will only be at Future Park in April, and the promoter suggested that I drop by other shopping malls to check them out. Upon hearing that, I’m too lazy to drive all the way to the other side of the town just for a tube of mascara.
But anyway, I went to browse for some products at Boots at got myself some slimming products by Galenic Elancyl. I’ve always wanted to try them out but my whole set of L’oreal slimming products are not finished yet. Anyway, I still went ahead and bought them! LOL!

I can’t tell if they are good yet, but I’m willing to give them a try. I’ve gained weight after Chinese New Year, and it’s time to get shed them off by watching my diet, and using the slimming products.
 To me, Chinese New Year is over as I started my normal routine on the 3rd day of Chinese New Year. But over the weekend, I over eaten and I have gained 2 kg in 4 days! We were having some guests and all of us spent some time at the beach celebrating Chinese New Year. Besides dining out, our guests brought along lots of goodies and I could not resist myself on snacking more. Thus, I became fatter just in days!
I guess my metabolism is getting slower, and with lack of exercise, I gain weight faster than before. Thus, it’s time to watch my diet again, and get myself moving around! Previously, I learned ballet, and I would go to the class twice a week. Even if ballet might sound like soft dancing, but it’s a great exercise for flexibility and body movement. I used to sweat a lot after each session, and I was definitely more toned and lean at that time. But ever since I have kids, I stopped dancing, and I left my dance shoes back home in Malaysia.
Frankly, I miss my soft ballet shoes. If I have them with me now, I may just put them on and do a few simple steps and stretching exercise, if I can remember how! Gosh, I need to get back in shape and put off that 2 kg fast!
I know that I haven’t been exercising, and my thighs are kind of flabby now. Those slimming and firming cream alone won’t help much, so I better do myself a favor and get some exercise. In this chilly weather, swimming is not a good idea, unless I swim under the hot sun at noon. LOL! So, the only exercise I can easily do is chasing my kids when they are cycling and it’s way much fun than ellipticals. LOL!
 My Perfect Slim Drink EX by FANCL is finishing soon. Once I’ve started this fat burner drink, I’m kind of depending on it. I’m worrying that if I don’t take it, I might gain some weight later on, or will it not happen? That’s the thing about slimming down with the help of food supplements or diet stuffs, I’m too depending on them now!
Gosh, I better go shopping again soon. Too bad FANCL counters are so far away from my office…
 I seldom exercise in Bangkok. I miss yoga and belly dancing, but I can’t seem to find any near my house. I found a gym near my work place, but I don’t like gym! To me, it’s boring to be working on those exercise machines.
Anyway, hubby is enjoying himself a lot in Bangkok. The golf courses are great and we can easily find golf range anywhere. He has started playing football too, and maybe it’s time to get him some nfl jerseys, if he can fit in. LOL! Most men like football, and even if it might be too tiring for someone at hubby’s age, it’s a good exercise. As long as he’s enjoying the game with his brother and fellow workers, I don’t mind him going for football at least once a week.
But for me, I’m still struggling to get some exercise. Unless hubby can take care of our kids, if not I don’t have time for it. However, there is a possibility of getting fit if I wake up earlier than usual. If I can get up at 6am, I might be able to do some yoga stretching before starting the day. That should be better than none!
In short, it’s time to be sporty again.
