I’ve been hunting for an affordable organic milk cleanser that does not contain alcohol and have been quite frustrated with my search. I was using Lavera milk cleanser and although I like it, alcohol ranks 5th on the list of ingredients. Anyway, I bought it during their clearance sale for a song and now that it is used up, I decided to move on to try new ones.
DIY skin care therapies by Chizu Saeki
If you’re serious about skincare, The Japanese Skincare Revolution by Chizu Saeki is a must-read! It’s suitable for all ages because like what the book stated, it helps you to maximize your skincare products. I find the methods covered in the book particularly good for arresting wrinkles and expression lines so if you start early with some of the recommendations and are consistent, you may even be able to evade having early wrinkles.

Of all the items I’ve been receiving in my mailbox, handmade items are my favorite. More often than not, they all looked too pretty to open up and you can tell that there is a lot of love that goes into the making of such items when it’s also well packaged. This jewelry set I purchased from Pastel Petals is by far, the loveliest that I’ve received. The whole packaging matched the feminine grace of the necklace and the delicate looking earrings even came in a little glass bottle!

This is slightly embarrassing to admit but I have a habit of getting every last bit from my skin care products, especially if they’re costly. With tubes, it’s easy as I only need to cut them open. But with other types of packaging, it’s not so straight forward. The best that I can do is to tilt them upside down so that the cream or lotion can flow out and then using a cotton swab to dig the balance out.
