Viva Challenge: slap slap your face every day

This week’s Viva Challenge is to slap your face and I mean it literally.  Okay, no need to slap your face hard.  What I really mean to say is to lightly tap your face whenever you’re applying your skin care products.   Remember some of those SK-II ads?  Did you notice how some of the models lightly tap the treatment essence into their skin?  That’s what I’m talking about.  And what does this do for your skin you ask?  Well, I learnt that this helps your skin care products to penetrate into your skin more effectively.

Royal Retreat Nail Spa

Just from the name, I was expecting a really posh place with the best pampering service, but I was a tad disappointed that the spa’s facade was quite normal looking – just like any other nail salons. But once I stepped inside through the glass door, the vibes were completely different as I was greeted with a very cosy setting, which is somewhat resort like.

DIY Beauty: goat’s milk & banana hand mask

homemade banana milk hand mask

Last week, I visited the goat’s farm with my son and as part of the tour, we were given goat’s milk. My son and I looked at one another in horror. Who’s going to drink all the three bottles? But I took them home and left them in the fridge anyway, thinking that I might garner enough courage to down them sometime in the week. Well, I did eventually because I thought they may not taste too bad since they’re chocolate flavored. Big mistake! The after taste was quite horrible and I almost puke!
