Natural Beauty Inside Out
I was quite surprised to see the following comment from Betty Brock in one of my entries concerning the usage of body lotion. In the comment, she stated that body lotion shouldn’t be used as a hand cream as it isn’t rich enough. In addition, she wrote something about avoiding glycerin as a key ingredient in hand creams.
I was quite amused after reading this article Face-Off Brewing Over the Anti-Aging Claims of Spa Facials in Jakarta Globe which discusses the views of dermatologists about facials and the views of aestheticians towards beauty treatments offered by doctors. Interesting topics included: treatments offered by doctors are harsh for the skin and facials are a waste of money.

I’m really pleased with myself this week. I managed to score two new dresses without spending more than S$10! Well, actually, these are my old ankle length dresses and I just had them shortened to above my knee. I was clearing my wardrobe a bit and found them lying at the bottom. I think they must be about 10 years old now but because they still look so brand new and I hardly wore them, I was reluctant to throw them out. Well, good thing I didn’t because vintage is in and they’re wearable now. Never mind they’re not pretty dresses but they’re good enough for work. So go dig your wardrobe…you might have something you have use for now.
