Natural Beauty Inside Out
This is an update to my post on evening primrose oil. A comment left by Ann about her aunt gave me some concern and I decided to run more research into the topic. Apparently, her aunt was diagnosed with breast cancer and according to her doctor, the food she ate – namely, evening primrose oil and bean curd (douhua) – may have contributed to that.
Christmas comes early at Viva Woman with the exclusive VivaBella Bonanza Giveaway! As you can see, there are lots of goodies and even now, I’m still expecting more to arrive by the week. In fact, I’m having a hard time explaining to my curious 6-year-old, who keeps asking me who are these for and when are they going to be given away.
Finally, I was able to get my hands on a bag organizer after months of waiting out. Somehow, I never chanced upon one – either the price was not right or the design was not ideal. So I was of course very happy to find this Pocket-It Organizer at YoursLovingly for S$12.50.
This Pocket-It Organizer isn’t very big. It measures 68cm x 13cm and comes with 6 pockets; it can’t contain everything in my tote bag but is enough for my wallet, lippies, sanitizer, facial spritz, comb, hand cream, tissue pack and batteries.
For the longest time, I had no success trying to use strawberries as a mask. The reason is, every time I want to mash up the strawberries, I end up popping them into my mouth. The furthest I’ve gone with using strawberries is to dab some of juice on my acne, but since I don’t use it consistently, I can’t say it gave me results.
The mention of Renewal Day Spa at Tong Building brought back many memories for me. That was the first spa I visited some 14 years ago and I had enjoyed their spa treatments tremendously for a year or so. It’s a lovely place – the first spa in Singapore actually – and even now, I still can remember the scent of their tea. Anyway, I was contacted recently to test out their organic facial but I decided to ask Jyoan of Positively Nice to try instead. So the following is her review of her experience at Renewal Day Spa.
