The Pink Package

I am planning to have a little tea party with my friends this year (dunno when yet). Someone will be in charged of the whole party...and I will only take part in the door gifts! I get to pick what I wanna give to my lovely guests! ^___^ - So...which means, my guests will get the items that I personally like! (I like giving people things that I love/like...and make them happy! - Hopefully! hehe)

So my mom already bought some things that I ordered from her, while she was in Indonesia last week. And my friend bought for me some other things that I want as well, while she were in Thailand...and I heard, someone is going to sponsor me some other fun things to put in the package too! Awww...thank you! (Will let you know, once it's confirm! ^_^)

So basically, the package for my guests is 70% done...thanks to them! - Although the tea party will not be held in these couple of months, with Ramadhan and Syawal coming up! huhu.. Oh well, better be prepared earlier, no?

I will definitely invite some of my lucky readers for the event... So stay tune! hihi

Won't show you what are the items exactly, but...I guess from here you can already guess what they are, right? LOL. 

There are 7 items altogether in here! But I might add more! (Because I'm nice like that..lol) 

^__^

So anyway...the other day, when HiShop gave me some credits in my account to buy whatever I want, I went crazyyyy and purchase lotsa soaps, that my maid thinks my crazy!!! haha. - I got the idea to include the soaps in the package too! That's why I gotta haul everything! LOL ;p

So these are the package that HiShop gave me.. Guess what are those!

Tada!

Mmmm... They're 100% natural, handmade soaps!

With lotsa scents to choose from!

Anyway, I gotta say HiShop's service is awesome! I placed an order on Wednesday, and I got it on Thursday! How fast and efficient! They even gave us a report card for us to fill in, and rate them! And if you're unsatisfied, they'll send you a full sized product, absolutely FREE! 

There's a campaign going on right now.. they want you to rate your online shopping experience with HiShop.My - Because they believe in keeping promises, so they dare you to shop with them and challenge the HiShop's FOUR promises!

This post contains a lot of pictures. You have been warned ;p



A couple of weeks ago, I received a private message from Sheila, saying...

Hehe. Cute.

^_^

.......I love helping people buying stuff and help them pick 'em up according to my eyes. So.....yeah, of course I said yes to it.

So on that Sunday morning, I woke up feeling excited.. because it has been awhile since I last shopped. And I already had some things in my mind to buy..

So....I woke up, and get dressed.. And asked Sheila to pick me up a little bit late, as I overslept - I did not get to sleep well that night..as I couldn't sleep =/

So anyway, around 12-ish she arrived and picked me up. And I asked her excitedly,

"So where are we going? And what are you gonna buy?!"

"We're going to Alamanda. They have this new shop, my friend told me. It's an art shop. Very cool stuff.. They sell like handmade stuff or something like that...so I wanna see what do they have there!"

"Oh my God...Really?! (I super loveeeee artsy stuff by the way) Bestnyaaa... Okay okayyy! Let's!"

*****************

And about 20 minutes later, we arrived Alamanda....



The moment we stepped into the mall, I saw...the Baskin Robbins counter, and I wanted to go there to buy myself some ice cream, but just before I ordered some, Sheila stopped me and said we're going to have lunch first and the place that we're going, have so many yummy desserts and better than B.R. =__='

At that time, I still didn't have any clue why and what is happening, and why won't she allow me to have my ice cream? LOL. For a moment there, I was feeling kinda weird, like why this girl didn't allow me to eat my ice cream???! Whyyyyy oh whyy? I want maaa ice creammmm! haha. JK.  ;p

So then I thought to myself, maybe the shop we're going to didn't allow outside food or something. So okay, fineee. I'm cool with that. hehe. And maybe Sheila was right, maybe they have awesome desserts. So okay, let's just try and imma follow her..  :)

Anyway..then I asked her some more,

"So which cafe we're going to have our lunch? What do you wanna eat?"

"Oh, it's this new place... It's somewhere near the bowling area."  

"Oh, okay.. Alright. We're going to eat first, then to the shop that you talked about..?? What's the name of the shop, by the way?"

"Yup..yup..we are. We eat first, then we go to that shop. It's called...something-something arts. Uhh....I forgot what it is called la. Later, I'll ask my friend"

Not having any clue whatsoever, I just followed her footsteps, where she wanna eat... And she brought me to a place called Garden Lifestyle Store and Cafe. Before we reached the entrance of the cafe, excitedly I said,

"Oh great! So it's this cafe, ha?! I've never tried here before! Great! I've always wanted to try, but dunno why still haven't try. haha"

"Great! Come, let's go inside!" 

"Table for two please.."

"Okay, which area you wanna sit? These area..or that one..?", asked the waitress while pointing at some areas..

"Ouh..that looks cozy and nice... Can we sit there? There's a swing or something over there!", I said..

"Sure."

Just when I sank my butt on the swing and started to play a bit with it, the waitress came to us with the menus in her hand..

As I was busy trying to get the best position to sit on the swing, Sheila then said to the waitress,

"Hey, can we sit over there?", while pointing at an area..  - I didn't realized which area she was pointing out to, as I was busy playing with the swing. haha. But that time I thought she wanted to move to another area cuz she didn't like the spot that I chose. =___='

"Oh, no. Sorry, you can't sit there. That's a reserved area. "

"Yeah I know..but my friend is sitting over there.."

"Oh okay... Suree..Alright then" 

At that moment, I still do not have any idea or clue at all.. I really thought Sheila saw her friend or something and wanted to join them or maybe just say hi or something and sit near them or whateverr... So okay... I followed her to the reserved area...

And little that I know, I would be seeing...........

THEM!!!!!

Saying.... "SURPRISEDDDDDD!!!!!"

What's In Your Bag?

If you have known me personally in the real life, you would know that I am so not a sporty kinda girl. I never like or play any sports. Tskk. I know, not good! Since I was in school (primary or secondary) and until now, I would always try to avoid playing any kind of sports (unless you count shopping as a sport activity.haha). So that explains why I am not fit or rather healthy. =(

Reason being, because I am so shy when in comes to doing any kind of sports activity. Saya malu kalau orang tengok saya tak pandai main (especially kalau ada guys yang tengok. Lagi laa malu! Dah la gemok! hehe). And another reason is because I am quite cerewet (or should I say mengada) in choosing what to wear for my sports attire. (Heeee mengadaaa nya! ;p)
Well..the reason why I've been avoiding to play sports since I was young is mainly because of the malu issue and secondly because, I prefer to be 'free' whenever I'm doing any kind of sports activity. And that means, I prefer to wear less clothes on myself, i.e shorts or short sleeved t-shirts or no sleeve t-shirts or whatever that is easy. Dekat sekolah, boleh la. But now that I'm in IIUM, we're not allowed to do that in public or even outside our mahallah/hostel. That's why I didn't join any sports activity while I'm in my uni. Heeee. (alasan tak munasabah langsung! ;p)

So, since I have quit staying in my hostel and decided to travel back and forth to my uni for this semester, I decided to start living healthily. Plus, a few people has asked me to start exercising, and also because lately I've gained tremendous amount of fat! Daymnnn. =/

So recently, my mom has signed me up for a gym. At a place called Phillip Wain. Such gorgeous place!!! This fitness & beauty club is specially for women! How cool, ey? Tak la rasa malu sangat nak exercise, plus I can wear anything I want! hehe.

I really love the place. I've visited a few gyms before signing up for this, like Fitness First, True Fitness, Celebrity Fitness and so on, but none of them are as awesome as this one! Phillip Wain's the best! This place makes me really excited to go there everyday, and makes me motivated to try to make myself sweat like nobody's business! hehe.
Seriously, the place here is really really nice! (and the people too!) =)

Anyways, after signing up and became their member for about a month now, I only had a chance to go there for about 5 times only. That's because I recently fell off a stairs and sprained my ankles. And then last week I had a midterm exam. So I quit for a while. hehe.

But now that I have a lot of spare time in the morning, I think I will start cycling and pedaling and running again! hehee.. I'm excited! I have packed up all my stuff and put in my gym bag just now! Esok nak pergi! Yeayy! hehe.

Now let's have a look in my gym bag!

a Nike hot pink Club Bag. They don't have it in a plain hot pink though..I prefer plain actually. But oh well..I think this is okayy too. Kan?

Let's take a look what's inside my gym bag, shall we?! =)

Pinky stuff!! hehee. Gedix sungguh! ;p

And what are they??

1. The gym bag of course
2. Nike Zoom Trainer Essential in hot pink
3. Nike DriFit - Cool Skin Tank Top in white/pink
4. Adidas Sweatpants in hot pink
5. Tommy Hilfiger ankle socks in soft pink
6. A pair of new and fresh undies (polka dot! Comel kan! hehee ;p)
7. Shu Uemura make up case (to put all my face essentials like toner, moisturizer, powder, etc) - NOT PINK! ;p
8. Juicy Couture make up case (to stuff all my make up tubes like mascaras, eye liner, lip glaze, etc)
9. Adidas Daily Scrub shower gel
10. Toni & Guy shampoo
11. Toni & Guy conditioner
12. Precision Chanel cleansing foam -NOT PINK! ;p
13. Sanex Dermo Intensive deodorant - NOT PINK! ;p
14. Adidas Water Tumbler in pinkish plum
15. Lancome Miracle body lotion
16. Britney Spears Fantasy fragrance

Gloree Gloree Morning Glory

If I were to choose which era I would want to live in, it will definitely gonna be in the 1500's for the food (the era where you wouldn't even know the term 'instant food', 'fast food', 'less sugar, less MSG, less this less that' and can still find great food with original recipes bcuz everything was cooked in the most traditional way!) and the 1800's for the classic houses they live in, and 1950's for the fashion, 1960's for the lifestyle, and 2000's for the existence of Twitter, Mc Donalds' Double Cheese Burger, Blackberry, Blogger, Skype, Facebook, Digital Camera, Blair Waldorf, Gmail, MTV, Starbucks Coffee (okay.. Starbucks existed in 1912. But they only arrived KL in 1990's! =P ) and of course, the Internet! (okay fine. Internet pun dah lama! Tapi Broadband, Wireless, 3Gs, P1 WiMax etc etc only existed about a few years ago! kan?? heh.). Ha. Ha. I'm starting to merepek actually ;p

But speaking about internet..it has been a while since I last tweet or last update this online journal of mine. Real sorry for the sporadic updates, girls! Life's been realllly really busy. =(

Anyways..

Just like I told you earlier, I love love love the fashion in the 50's and 60's era. The fashion back then was so classy and ladylike. Practically everyone seemed conservative, ladylike, and proper. No super micro short skirts can be seen and found, and they wore gloves for evening and social occasions. Isn't that nicee? (I always imagine that their lifestyle was so calm and happy and very the sopan santun..LOL). And I also love their makeup and hairdo too! They were all about big eyes and big hair. I love the beehive hairdo with that bright eye shadows and super black eyeliner on the lids! Oh, so gorgeous!

Just like Sophia Loren! She is b.e.a.u.t.i.f.u.l!!

You know..lately I'm starting to get obsessed with doing the 60's makeup on myself after watching the gorgeous looking girls on The Promise video clip and also seeing VB wears sophisticated-ly all of her dresses these days..

If only I can wear those straight shirtwaist dresses with those pillbox hats! And get myself ready with the 60's makeup, style, hair and everything! And then imagine I'm in the 60's era! Oh, that'd be so grrreat! =P
(Okayy..I'm crazy, I know! You might find these boring..haha)


Anyways..enough about imagination and day dreaming. I have a real story to tell (or to share)! =)
As mentioned, I love vintage stuff, I love classy things, I love ladylike and girly things. So when I dropped by Boots on my last day in Bangkok, I was ecstatic and excited (as usual) to see or rather find some girly vintage looking stuff!! Beauty stuff to be exact! Did I ever tell u that I'm a beauty junkie?? Well.. I am! Like a huge fan of any beauty products!

Oh God bless Boots, that has never failed to offer me some great stuff with super great prices! That is the main reason why I love Boots even though it is just a drug store! (My friends and my sisters think I am a weirdo for liking Boots so much! haha!) =P

Well what can I say.. If none of the baju or designer jeans or even the fabest of a bag that u have in your closet or whatever it is... can't ever make you feel good about yourself..then why not treat your body with some great body scrub and shower gels? Or better yet, go and have a DIY whole body spa and then put on some make up on your nude face! At least you can hide all those imperfections and still look good! (and maybe feel great as well!). These beauty stuff do wonders on your body, you know! =)
So that's why whenever I feel like buying-something-but-I-don't-know-what-it-is-and-what-I-need attacks..I would always buy beauty products (body stuff to be exact) or shoes. These two are the safest things to buy. You can never go wrong with shower gels and a shoe that will always fit your feet! Plus, body stuff are also great for gifts! There are a lot of stuff ready to treat your body these days.. i.e. Body scrub, bath salt, body butter, body mist, shower gel, bath cream, powder bath, body mask, body spray, fragrances, body lotions, potions..and sooo much more!



If you must know..one of my fave body stuff in Boots would be these two shower gels!

These two are from the Boots Original Beauty Formula range. The classic range.

Oh. They're amazing. They are cheap. They smell wonderfully great, and they give me a really good clean. And the bottles are so classy too! =)

Apart from loving the Boots Original Beauty Formula range, I love the Botanics range as well as No. 7 skincare range! These products really give you great results! (why oh whyyy Malaysia doesn't have Boots store?)


Nyways..

So on that very last day.. as I was browsing through the entire store, looking for my Bedhead shampoos that were supposed to be my last purchase , my eyes caught on something pinky and girly looking packaging.. They were some new products to my eyes!

It's the Soap and Glory!

Excitedly, I walked quickly towards the rack which were full with those pinky tubes, bottles and jars. I only saw three things at that time; The catchy wordings that they use to name their products, the classic looking girls on their packaging and the color pink for all their products.
Oh. These three factors are my favourite when it comes to packaging. They look girly and cute. They look vintage. And they're pink!

"You shouldn't have to spend an arm and legs just to moisturise one!" =)

Their catchy names, the people and the color they used for their product reminds me of Benefit's cosmetics combined with Juicy Couture stuff! Only thing, this brand is so much cheaper than those two brands! Which is so sooo great!


While I was excitedly trying the products and reading all the ingredients, the descriptions, and etc, etc that were plastered all over the boxes and bottles.. My brother came to me and said that I have to leave the store about 10 minutes time before we go back to our hotel..

Oh darn.. I got panicked! At that point I didn't know which and what to purchase! Honestly, their products are so worth it! I wouldn't want to miss a single thing! I want everything that I tried on earlier..but my hands and my basket were so full..and I couldn't add some other things anymore. So I only managed to take about 17 things with me. (Ughh. I hate shopping in a rush! Ended up making wrong decisions every time! hmm..nvm.)


So these are some of my stuff that I bought from the 60's! hehe

Sexy Mother Pucker Lip Gloss in 6 different colors!

Shhhhhh! Flake Away Body Polish. Now He'll never have to know that all this time you've been flaking it.
Oh it also states here, "It might be fine if her friends are flaky, but a lady's legs should never be". hehe. Cute!

Clean, Girls. It's a creamy body wash that smells very adorable! =)

The Fab Pore 15 Minute Facial Peel. It's a pore refiner that works wonderfully!!! I am hooked with this pore refiner product. It does just what it says on the box!


Scrub 'Em and Leave 'Em


In blue? Well this is one of the Soap & Glory Spa range. It's the Sugar Crush Body Scrub


The Scrub Of Your Life Smoothing Body Buffer.

Hahah. I just realized I bought tooo many body scrubs. This is what happened when u shopped in a rush. U only take what's in front of u at that particular moment..and apparently all body scrubs were standing in front of me while I was panicked on that day! haihh. Nevermind..I will make sure my body would not be flaky and scally anymoreee after this! =P

Clean Mary Cleansing Milk. What a cute make up remover, ey?


Clean On Me Body Wash


Super Eyes, Super Eyes Moisturizing Eye Gel

And some other things from other brands for friends and family! =)





Oh.. and I stumbled upon these sets from Soap & Glory!

I love the box and the shower cap! Sangat gedixcomel okayyy! Suka suka sukaaa! ;)

And these tooo! I want the dustbag!

What a cool case. I could make it as my pencilcase!

Best kan kalau pergi sleepover at your bestie's or maybe slumber party with your friends or sisters at one of your fave hotels and bring this case.. Pastu main2 mask, sambil buat manicure/pedicure, etc..haha. *berangan*

This is a 'Plane Jane' set. It could mean two things: Plain Jane (Someone who named Jane. Tapi Jane tu tak plain langsung sebab dia pakai semua benda nii..) or.. simply Plane Jane (it's Jane's hand carry bag whenever she travels aboard). Ok. Aku dah merepek.
But I like this set as well! Sangat gedixcomel kay! With all those creams and lotions and that pink pillow! Boleh bayangkan tak Jane bawak ni dalam flight? heh.

A manicure set! Siap ada gloves lagi youuu! ;)

Oh, I'm in lovee!





p/s: Can someone from abroad buy me one of these sets? I would love to own one! heh ;P




XOXO,
