It’s a long weekend for some of us in Asia and if you’re in the mood for shopping, here are details of L&L deals to keep in mind.
LashMantra Tuesday Sale
Leon has started a Tuesday Sale, where she’ll be offering cash discount or free product with each purchase of LashMantra on that day.

And what’s good to know is that the prices of these new products are all within the affordable range.
For those who like to pamper your feet, you can try some variations of DIY foot soak in the comfort of your home. Earlier in the year, I shared an Epsom foot soak & scrub recipe and this time, I’m going to share another foot soak recipe using lavender tea leaves.
