Alice In Wonderland has never been my favorite story but because of Johnny Depp, I’m eagering anticipating the 2010 release of  the Disney movie.  There has been quite a bit of hype on fashion inspired by Alice In Wonderland recently and today, I hunted down some lovely fashion jewelry inspired by the classic Lewis Carroll tale at Etsy.

DIY Beauty: 1st homemade stick deodorant

DIY homemade deodorant

Yesh, my first homdemade stick deodorant!  Since discovering that tea tree oil and baking soda make a wonderful deodorant, I’ve junked my commercial product.  Although my earlier attempt was successful, it was a little troublesome as I preferred to make a fresh batch everyday.   That was of course time consuming.  So I decided to order supplies to make my own stick deodorant.

My Secret Skincare Cleanser & Exfoliating Gel

My Secret Skincare

Jennie Huang recently launched a line of natural skin care line under My Secret Skincare based in Australia and asked me to test her products.   I didn’t want to try many items so I only picked the Serene Foaming Cleanser and Serene Exfoliating Gel from the normal/oily range.

Both products came in similar packaging – simple white pump bottles.  It’s nothing fanciful but it’s definitely functional.  I actually liked the smell and texture of both products, particularly the Serene Exfoliating Gel.
