My 1 million and 1 skin care steps.. (as jo puts it)

So, as most of all know, Jo was with me on my birthday weekend.
I specifically told her not to bring any makeup or skincare cos I have plenty.

The 1st nite.. as I was going thru my skincare steps, I was at the same time teaching Jo which comes 1st and what comes after the next..

And for 3 consecutive days.. she complained that I have 1 million and one skin care steps..
and NO! I don't.. she is just exaggerating.

Morning:-
Cleanse
Tone
Eye gel
Moisturise - serum
Moisturiser
Sunblock
Make up base

Night:-
Cleanse - milk lotion
Cleanse - gel cleanser
Tone
Eye cream
Serum
Moisturiser

Don't everyone go thru the same routine?
Ok.. maybe I doublt cleanse at nite but that's cos I have makeup on during the day.. I am sure your beautician will give the same advice.
I was shocked when I brought her to MAC and she asked me what is an essence/ serum..
OMFG...

JO!!!!!! I nearly fainted.. and I told the make up artist to educate her..

I have tried plenty of products and I will just share some of the best products I have used so far..
I have started using anti-aging products 2 years ago.. prevention is better than cure.. If you wait until that crow's feet shows then it's too late..
As you age, the collagen level in your skin will decrease and it will cause your skin to lose it's density and hydration level.. and that I am not too sure but google it..

My last post was in Sept..
And for some reason.. 05/01/10 I decided to blog again..

Anyways... much has happened since I last left my footsteps.

My 3 months has been real good.

I've went to 3 weddings, 1 engagement party, Rekindled my friendship with my old friends, Realised that somethings are just NOT meant to be, celebrated my birthday with loads of good friends around me (I flew Jo down for my birthday and that dress is from Zara Jo), Celebrated Xmas with new friends, and NYE was loads of fun.

Omfg I've got so much to say I don't even know where to start..

But 1st things, 1st...
My resolution:-

1. To have boobs. (it might happen)
2. Learn to forgive and forget. (kinda in the progress)
3. Learn to cook 5 course meal.
4. To be less of a bitch
5. To drink less but still maintain a good drinker title.. (ah... not!)
6. Learn how to drive manual... again..
7. Spend more time with my family.
8. Try to overcome my fear of cats.. (I hate them.. I really do)
9. Do not be so easily deceived by people. (I should really learn to judge)
10. Stop buying shoes.. and dresses.. (that will never happen.. in a million years)


So nuff bout me..

How's your New years btw?

Much love,

Fran

Oh em gee..

Went phuture last night with the babes and saw my highschoolmates there..
It was a hell of a party.
Get to bed by 5.30 and was awaken at 7.30am by a loud bang on my door.
My sis Zoe was yelling.. "Lena lena lena, sang jor baby!!"
I ran down and was surprised with 3 cute darlings.
Unfortunately, 1 of the babies died shortly after death.
Now, we are left with the twins of the pack.
A boy and a girl..
I decided to name them Jack and Jill..
cos I have always liked that nursery rhyme.
Jack and Jill went up the hill, to fetch a pail of water...
Muchos pictures coming up..
Once I get my hands on em' cos it was not my camera..
and speaking of which, I brought my camera out but left the battery pack at home.. what a dumbass.. LOL

Mask.. I am sworn by it..

Hello peeps,

as you guys know, it is no secret that I will be turning 26 end of this year.
And I believe that beautiful skin needs to be maintain, maybe you are born with smooth and silky baby skin but trust me, if doesn't stay that way forever. So, for the past few years, I have been experimenting loads and loads of skincare from different brands. There was one point I was so intrigued by SkinFood that I go completely bonkers everytime I see a store. I still use some of their products such as the cucumber gel-like toner and their BB cream. I love it.

Though I constantly change my skincare routines and brands, there is one thing I am sworn by, and that is sheet mask. You will not know how much a pc of sheet mask means to you. Of course I do use those traditional cream type of mask by sheet mask is a must.

I always love those sheet mask from the Face Shop. Different kinds for different effects and for different skin combination. My favourite will be the Vitamin K mask. When I was travelling alot back in those days, I will always bring along a few sheets. The best time to put on the mask is when you are in the plane. This is because the skin will feel more hydrated in the plane because of the air-pressure (and that is why sometimes you feel like your skin is going to crack). Best part is, a lazy-girl's guide, you don't have it rinse it off..

Recently, I fell in love with "My beauty diary mask". Jo love the Q10 flavour and I love the Black Pearl 1. It was a total life saver when I was in Cambodia. The weather there being almost 40 degrees and the dust were like an inch thick in the air almost killed my skin until the mask saved me.
I bought my 1st in Guardian and it was RM16.90 for 2 pcs.


Being the most famous mask in Taiwan

Black Pearl (ma fav)
There are also many diff flavours, just google them.

Yesterday I was in Pasar Malam and omg, it was selling for RM23 for a box of 10. Are you kidding me? So I decided to stock up some of my fav. kind which are the Q10, Black Pearl and also Red Wine. Speaking of which, I have to squeeze in between 2 person.

Ok, I understand that your friend is choosing and trying to buy something but, if you are not involved, why can't you quietly stand in one corner. You don't have to hog the whole stall you know.. it's not like mandatory..
Do you know how annoying is it for people who actually want to buy something?
And what is worst is, you don't get the hint that "excuse me" means fuck off and stand far away. You are space-polluting.
It's like 1 person is actually buying something, but the whole family of 7 is standing in front of the stall.

Geez...

Driving lessons..

Dearest Jo,

Eventhough you headbang to Pink and swear at people when you drive, there's something I need to tell you... Your parking still sucks.. I have a gut feeling that it still is..

Sorry!

XOXO

Inspired by Jennifer's body

I can't wait to watch Jennifer's body.. once again, Megan Fox is super duper hot.. Talking bout possessed, if I were a ghost and I could choose to possess someone's body for a day.. I will choose to possess the body of the person I hate the most. That way, I can:-


1. Jeopardize her work by yelling and swearing at her boss



2. Wear the skimpiest and ugliest outfit I can find so that she would win the drag queen title



3. Make her pee in public at broad daylight.



4. oooh.. and eat all fatty food and stuff dairies and carbs down her throat.



5. For once fulfill men's fantasy of having butt sex and make sure she gets crabs.. I mean I won't feel the pain right?




6. Wear a "Bitch sign" around her chest



7. Donate all her money to charity.. at least I am kind



8. Reveal her darkest secret and warn people about her evil plan.

Yes.. payback's a bitch..
