I started using bedroom slippers after I issued the Viva Challenge on wearing your socks to bed. In the post, I had mentioned that Traditional Chinese Medicine suggest that when the feet get cold, it affects the upper respiratory system and impairs the body resistance and this may in turn leads to common cold, upper respiratory infection, abdominal pain and painful period, even cardiovascular diseases. Hence, I decided to wear bedroom slippers to try promote better body resistance by keeping the feet warm and protecting the body from the attack of external cold.

How soon do you replenish your skincare items?
Tuesday, 29 June 2010
Recently, several readers who purchased skin care products based on some of my reviews have been sending me emails asking me the same questions. How long do you take to finish the product? Why do I use up the lotion so quickly? How can I stretch the usage of the product a little longer? Well, the products in question are costly and hence, these readers are hoping that they won’t have to replenish them so quickly. On the other hand, a number of you have also shared through comments left that you take a very long time to finish your creams and lotions. I have also heard that some customers who use the same products as me can actually stretch the usage of the same item by another two or even three months! How is that possible?
Lomi Lomi traditional massage at St. Gregory
Monday, 28 June 2010
When I was invited to a complimentary body massage at St. Gregory in Park Royal Hotel, I wondered if it was the same spa I used to visit for my Javanese facial about nine years ago. It was strange that I am familiar with the name because of their Tui Na Massage my husband had tried but had actually clean forgotten that this used to be the fitness club we got our gym fix for about a year then! It was only when I took a lift up the fourth level of the hotel that I had a sense of dejavu walking down the long corridor to get to the spa. A nice warmth feeling I must add because it reminded me of my carefree life then!
My favorite color: in the mood for green
Sunday, 27 June 2010
I don’t know when my penchant for green began, but green colored clothes, green colored bags and green colored accessories are always my first choice of preference. Even my favorite everyday wear at home is an army inspired shorts in camo green. And no prizes for guessing that my favorite choice of eyeshadow is also green. What I’m currently in need of, are green colored nails.
