Natural Beauty Inside Out
Earlier this week, I picked up a Chinese book in the local bookstore about beauty and came across some interesting information regarding the best time to wash our hair. It stated specifically that we shouldn’t be washing our hair early in the morning and late in the night. Oh geez…I wash my hair first thing in the morning when I jump out of bed every day for almost my entire life now! In fact, some days as early as 4am! So what gives?
If one of your new year’s resolution is to slim down, then I have very good news for you if you’re a lover of Korean food, in particular, Kimchi.

Hello Vivabellas! What new beauty treats or products did you get this new year? Well, for me, I went for an eyelash extension and got myself brand new fluttering eyelashes! Well, even I was surprised at my decision to do this, considering I am someone who repelled against wearing falsies and the one time I had them on was during my wedding but I actually tore them off as soon as the makeup artist was out of sight. Ha! So should I say vanity and curiosity got the better of me this time and since I didn’t have to pay for the service and was promised that I won’t emerge from the extension looking remotely like barbie doll, I decided to give it a shot.
I know a number of you use face mist frequently and it probably counts as an essential beauty item for you. This means that it’s a repeat purchase and if we go by the usual brands around, it’s quite easy to chalk up anything from $70 to S$150 per year, depending on how much you use this item on a daily basis. I use my face mist on a daily basis, often doubling them up as face toner and to mix products, and this means my usage is high and it would be definitely be lovely if I can reduce this expense. Well, I recently received a face mist that allows me to do just that because I can refill using simple spring water such as those from Evian, Volvic, Fiji, Ice Mountain or even purified tap water and yet enjoy several skin-activating benefits because of a special technology within the bottle.
