Strawberry Manicure

Ok. It was very sudden. I showed my sis a pic of strawberry nail art pedicure yesterday night. I said I can do this design for her next time. Then she was like saying 'okok do it now also can' LOL so I did for her since I was free too.

 Done. I wasnt really satisfied with this cos my drawing s*cks & Im still practicing like crazy.

And this was another strawberry nail art I did today. This time was on my colleague's toenails. A pedicure for her. She asked me to do for her & as a practice for me too =D It was a sudden request from her because I was actually just showing her the pic of my sister's manicure & wanted her to give some comments LOL

* My sis was actually feeling not satisfied because she said I did for colleague's one nicer which is very true. But I wonder why XD Maybe it's because I used different colours.

Mani & Pedi @ Work

Mani pedi mani pedi. My passion is here. Im currently working as a junior manicurist @ Jovial Beauty & Nail Spa which is located at Kota Damansara. Learning more & more everyday! =D These are some pictures of mani pedi I did by myself @ work.

 Basic manicure.

 I love red! So I coloured my nails like this LOL

 This was applied by my colleague. Another type of mani from Gelish. It means gel-like nail polish. It perfoms like gel & applies like nail polish =D

 Then I did this pedicure randomly when I was free that day.

 Some of the nail art design over there.

This pedicure was done by my colleague today. Im loving it! My ladyboss was asking her to practice her drawing on my toenails =D

Our 1st Year Anni

13th October is the date we'll remember forever. Everything started on this date in year 2009. So we went back to the place where he used to first hold my hand there which was @ Tropicana City Mall. We had dinner there too @ Sushi Tei. Last year, he purposely asked his friends to come along for the dinner but his purpose was he wanted to have dinner with me actually LOL.We went Desa Parkcity too because this was the place where we first went for a 'date'.

 

Anyway, these are the things I had for him.

 

Rabbit candles =D

For his room.

We both love the GREEN LED NIGHT LIGHT! =DDDD

The stars I made for him. Another lighting inside.

Then we went to Sushi Tei for dinner.These are our orders.

 Went to Desa Parkcity after that. He forced me to bring Baby along too.Swt. Then I started to camwhore with them =D

I love the view there. It's also such a nice place for couples & family!

Dry Damaged Hair

- Mix few drops of Olive Oil with your conditioner & apply on hair. Rinse thoroughly after 5-10 minutes. (You can actually replace it with Baby Oil too)

- You can apply Olive Oil on your hair before starts shampooing too.

- Spread some mayonnaise fromn the root of your hair to the tip. Massage it well & leave for 20 minutes. Rinse with lukewarm water before starts to shampoo.

- Dont blow-dry your hair till it's fully dry. Let your hair air-dry by itself when it's more than half dry already.

- Dont wash your hair too often / everyday. Unless necessary. If not, it will cause more breakage & split ends.

- Trim your hair every 1-2 months (If you're willing to LOL).

- Love your hair! Always use conditioner after you shampoo. Do treatment by yourself / saloon at least once a month.
* TRY NOT TO DO REBONDING / DIGITAL PERM / COLOURING TOO OFTEN AS THEY'RE ALSO THE CAUSES OF DRY HAIR.

Outdoor Photoshoot (Jonz Photography)

Went for photoshoot for cousin's portfolio on Saturday morning. Gotta get ready by 6am for make-up & hairdo. I slept for 3 hours only actually OMG! Woke up around 4.30am & went McD for breakfast with boyf. Lol madness! After we're done with the preparation, we went to somewhere @ Kota Damansara for the photoshooting. Reached there around 8.30am & got bitten by mosquitoes like hell ; forest-like place.

 Touched-up makeup before the shooting starts.

Zebra Nails

Zebra nails? I suddenly thought of doing this design because 1 of my close buddy said she wants me to do for her nails next time LOL.

Nails painted with base coat & while nail polish.

Take 2. Closer view.

Line the white nails with black.

Done! Top coat after that.

Acne / Scars

- Lemon juice acts as a natural bleach. Soak some lemon juice with a cotton ball & hold on the affected area for 5-10 minutes. It will lighten the scar.

- Apply egg whites onto the scars using cotton balls & remove after 15 minutes.

- Dab a small amount of toothpaste only on the affected area before sleep. It will reduce the redness.

- Slice up a tomato & place it on the affected area.

- If you're free & patient enough, put ice onto pimple & hold for 1 minute. Do that every half hour for few times.

- Blend slices of tomato & cucumber. Apply the mixture with cotton pads. Put on the affected area ( You can put on your whole face as a mask too )  =D

* Dont ever pick on your pimples. It actually worsen your face & causes more acnes / scars.

* Avoid leaning your face on your hand & keep your hair away from face.

* Dont stick your cellphone to your face while talking. Once a while, wipe your phone with antibacterial wet tissues.

* Avoid wearing make-up all the time. Only make-up when it's necessary to you.

Dry Chappy Lips

- Keep the body hydrate by drinking lots of water.

- Normally people wet their lips with tongue. DONT. It worsen your lips & makes it more dry actually. Apply lip balm / vaseline instead.

- Before applying lip colour, apply some lip balm on your lips.

- Rub your lips with a slice of cucumber.

- Mix honey & vaseline. Put the mixture on your lips for 10 minutes. You can also just use either one of the ingredients. Rinse off with warm water after that.

- Put a teaspoon of coarse sugar in a small bowl with a scoop of vaseline to form a paste. Put the paste on an old toothbrush. Gently scrub lips in circular motions for 20 seconds. Rinse off with warm water. Remember to apply lip balm after that. ( To exfoliate the dead skin cells & moisturize after that )

* A must-have in your bag, Lip Balm / Moisturizer

Mascara / Eyelashes

- Rest your mascara in some warm water for few minutes to heat the mixture & liquefy it.

- To get the illusion of longer lashes, concentrate your 2nd coat of mascara on the outer lashes.
- Remove your mascara / fake eyelashes with proper make-up remover. Put on your eyelashes with the cotton pad soaked with make-up remover for 5-10 seconds for easier removal. ( Dont use baby oil as make-up remover )

- Curl your lashes for few seconds. Put a pea-size amount of Vaseline on an old toothbrush. Slowly brush on the Vaseline on your lashes. Use eyelash comb to ensure that there are no clumps left on it. Wait for 1 minute. Rinse the eyelash comb with water & brush lashes with it. Repeat these steps twice a day for more effective. It might take around 2 weeks to see the difference. ( For longer lashes )
* Dump off your mascara after 3 months of usage. Mascara normally lasts for 3 months only.

Dry / Dark Patches On Elbows & Knees

- To exfoliate, combine half cup of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of honey & 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a small bowl. Rub on your skin. Leave on for awhile before rinsing with warm water.

- Rub half lemon on elbows & knees to lighten the dark patches.

- Sprinkle some sugar on the half lemon & rub on elbows & knees. This is to exfoliate & lighten the colour of your skin. Wash off after 10 minutes.

 * Apply lotion / vaseline to moisturize them too.

Spend lunch for sister's birthday celebration.

Sis birthday was on the 29th Sept actually. But because she was busy celebrating before this so end up I suggested to spend her & mom lunch @ Organic Recipe, Bandar Utama on Saturday which is today.

 This is the vegetarian restaurant Im talking about.

 Cover of menu book.

 Too many choices. Took us awhile to order. (Mom asked me not to be crazy taking pictures here & there) WTH?!

 My mom ordered these for us.

 Then I ordered this side dish =D But it tasted so-so only.

The bill was around RM50. LOL. Organic food memang so expensive. But we still enjoy eating there.

Honey Face Mask

- You can just apply ONLY honey on your face & leave for 15 minutes before rinsing. OR

- Mix 2 tablespoons of honey with 2 teaspoons of milk. Smooth over face & leave for 15 minutes. Wash off with warm water then pat dry.

- Take 2 large carrots. Cook till they're slightly soft ( DONT COOK TOO LONG ). Then mash it when it's cooked. Mix with 2 tablespoons of honey. Leave on your face for 10 minutes before rinsing with warm water.

* Honey contains powerful antioxidants & acts as moisturizer. They slow down the aging process too.

* Can be use on acnes & it helps to cure a little =D

Egg White Mask

1. Separate the egg white from the yolk. 

2. Mix the egg white with few drops of lemon juice.

3. Beat it up & soak with cotton pads to avoid the mess when you put them on your face.

4. Relax for about 20-30 minutes. 

5. Wash off with lukewarm water.

- Leaves your skin smooth and tightens your skin.

- Reduce pores & blackheads.

- Brightens face & eliminates oil.
