Natural Beauty Inside Out
I skipped the DIY hair coloring and went to a neighbourhood hair salon some weeks ago to have my hair highlighted instead. The result was fine, and I don’t have much to complain about. I paid S$138 for my short hair with the lowlights and highlights, as opposed to having to shell out $200+ at my usual salon in town. But I declined the colorist’s request to cut my hair because that’s something I won’t compromise on. Only my hairstylist can cut my hair.
Chinese New Year is next week so it’s time to get some new undies! Last year this time, I posted an entry asking if you wear matching bra and panty. This time, I want to ask you: do you wear g-string panties?
Have a ton of old beauty products that you don’t use anymore? Instead of just letting them gather dust, put them to good use with these MacGyver-like tricks.

I received an email from Marie Nadeau, Founder of Marie-Veroniques regarding my gripe about their change in sunscreen formulation. I’m really glad she took the time to read my entry and responded by addressing my concerns, as well as explained the changes to the products. Since a number of you also use their sunscreens, I thought I’ll publish her explanations here regarding the Marie Veronique Organis sun protection products, specifically the Creme de Jour and Creme de Soleil to put some of your minds at ease.
I was going through some of the comments and noticed that a number of readers have mentioned that it’s hard to find the right moisturizer that works for their skin type. In fact, when asked, I often find it hard to recommend moisturizers due to the different skin types. Should you be using water-based moisturizing creams containing mostly water with some oil or oil-based moisturizing creams containing more oil and some water?
