Clear storage boxes for shoes

Darcy Trevor tipped me off on these ingenious clear storage boxes which she uses to store her shoes.   

Apparently, these clear boxes have been featured in some of the women’s magazines and are are said to be retailing at S$10 per box.  However, Darcy got exactly the same ones at S$1.60 each, which is such a steal!

“I bought a few from one of those odds-and-ends store in my neighbourhood and I thought they are pretty useful. Now, I no longer have to tag or label my boxes as I can see through them, and more importantly, plastic is more durable!”

Estee Lauder Ideal Light Illuminator

This is a product recommended by my sister-in-law.  The Estee Lauder Ideal Light Brush-on Illuminator.  According to her, the application pen really covers up her undereye dark circles and skin blemishes, has long staying power and does not give her a cakey look even with her foundation on the entire day.  In addition, she likes the fact that it is in liquid form, and hence easy to control and apply.

Cotton panties are best

Are you wearing cotton undies?  If not, you might want to think about it as this is apparently the best form of underwear for vaginal health.

According to this article cotton panties can cut down on infections in NCTimes.com, the general medical agreement amongst doctors is that cotton undies are the way to go in the day.

“Wear loose, white cotton underwear; synthetic fabrics, as well as dyes, can be irritating,” advise Drs. Isabelle Labrie and Vincent Nadon on a women’s Internet health site posted by the University of Ottawa.
