Share: have you ever mistaken a boy for a girl?

Wednesday, 13 July 2011

Does this look like a lady to you? Or boy, do I have serious problems with my eyesight? That hairstyle, that complexion and that attire all scream of femininity to me! I swear I thought this is a girl when I first saw the picture and was quite shock to discover this is a ‘he’ and he is Korean celebrity, Jang Geun Suk. Okay, I’m not familiar with Korean celebrities and neither is this a post to discuss about them. But geez, this reminds me of a very embarrassing incident when I mistook a boy for a girl just about a year ago.

Olive treasures: Olivella skin care products

Tuesday, 12 July 2011
♥Guest Post♥ This is a guest review by Diane, a regular reader of Viva Woman. All products featured here were provided to her on a complimentary basis by Olive Shop.

See an olive and it conjures up images of fresh salads with feta cheese and olives with a drizzle of olive oil and yummy pastas cooked with extra virgin olive oil! Enticing us gastronomically is just one of the many uses of olives; it is a much regarded beauty product since ancient times from Greece to Rome – sometimes called as “liquid gold” as olive oil has nutrients, antioxidants, and anti-aging properties such as squalene, beta-carotene, and vitamin E.

How come my eye cream is only for night use?

Monday, 11 July 2011

Recently, I started using a new eye product that was sent to me for review and only upon using did I realize that this product is only for night use, which means I need to use a different eye gel for the day. Why is it we can’t use the same product day and night on our eye area? The answer is actually the same as why you have day care and night care products. While most eye creams are formulated to reduce eye bags, dark eye circles, lines and wrinkles, some formulations may contain more potent ingredients to perform better on the delicate eye area during specific time.

Drinking flower tea for wellness and beauty

Friday, 8 July 2011

Have you tried eating or drinking flowers? Well, as a kid, my brother and I literally drank the sap of some flowers in my mom’s garden. Don’t ask me why; kids will do the silliest things just for fun. But I can certainly understand why the birds and the bees love the sap – they’re sweet and they smell good! So growing up, I am quite comfortable drinking anything that comes with a floral scent and I certainly didn’t think twice about drinking these.
