Atypical Desigual art bag to color my world
Yesterday was a lousy day for me and although I was in town for a haircut, I didn’t have much mood for shopping. However, I chanced upon a sale at Desigual, popped in to take a quick look and ended up with this.
I love the brand and own some of their atypical hip and funky clothing. However, I’m not so keen on the current season’s as they just seem like a riot of colors and are way too over-the-top for me. But their bags did catch my eye awhile back. I stayed away only because of the prices but with a sale, I have a better excuse.
Cherry-picked cult beauty products galore
My senses were immediately heightened when I opened the box that came from Soap n’ Sorbet containing these lovely cult beauties. They are such a delightful visual and olfactory treat and I totally heart all of them! In fact, after going through the online store, I have to say that these products will definitely appeal to both our right and left brains because they’re not only pretty, they’re affordable as well!
Beware of buying cheap facial packages
Beware of spas offering facial packages that are that extremely attractive, because you could be getting “more” than your share of the bargain. You can’t tell actually, since your eyes are always closed during the treatments. And by the time you realized, you may have paid a hefty price for it.
DIY Beauty: brown sugar honey hand scrub
I’m quite afraid to use sugar in my recipes because I’m always worried about attracting the ants. However, my curiosity got the better of me when I picked this up while watching a local Chinese drama. It’s a hand scrub said to make the hands smooth again after doing too much housework and definitely sounds like something I’m in dire need of!
