As a woman, I always look after my health and try to learn how to maintain a healthy lifestyle. And when I grow older, I started to worry about menopause. Reason being, I have seen a few of my aunts have been suffering from menopause, from anger, anxiety, tired, bad skin and hair condition, and even depression.

Last Sunday, I was glad to be invited to the ‘A Woman’s Journey Through Heatlh with Menarini’ workshop happened at Saujana Ballroom, Saujana Hotel Subang. It was a sunny day to spent with all the beautiful woman. I was happy to see a lot of woman turned up that day, and some even came with mother daughter pairs! It was a great day to learn more about woman’s health and things we need to take care.

Firstly, Dr. Ho Choon Moy, the consultant O&G of Pantai Cheras has shared with us the wonderful years and the golden years of a woman.

When we are in our wonderful years, we are young, energetic, and enjoy intimate relationship. With the frequent sex, we could get pregnant easily during the wonderful years. Some are plan, but most are unintended. Unplanned pregnancy is the main reason to abortion which is illegal in Malaysia. And hence abortion is also dangerous for us as it will be done in non government recognize clinic or so. Hence, it is very important to know how to prevent from conceive using contraceptive method.

Each year, contraceptions prevents 188 million unplanned pregnancies, which results in 112 million fewer abortions. Contraception gives women opportunities to pursue education and lead a normal life, and the best part is, there are modern methods which are more reliable ways of preventing pregnancy than traditional techniques now. The modern methods include the short term contraceptives: barrier (using a condom), oral daily (hormonal), patch weekly (hormonal), vaginal ring monthly (hormonal), and injection 2-3 months (hormonal); as well as long-term contraceptives: 3-5 years of non-hormonal procedure, 5 yearly hormonal procedure and 3 yearly implant hormonal procedure.

I was told that non-contraceptive benefits of combined pills will improve acne skin, regulation of menstrual cycles, treatment of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and many more.

Now, in case of emergency, there are also some emergency contraceptions available. For more information, do consult your doctor to get professional advice ok.

Now come to the Golden years. This is a nightmare to many women as we have our final menstrual period, and post-menopause happens 1 year after the last menstrual period, Peri- menopause begins anytime from 40 years old onward until the beginning of post-menopause. In conclusion, menopause is a natural and inevitable event that happens on average at age 51 years. According to some research, women spent more than one-third of our life in the postmenopausal years. Feeling scared already? Don’t! In fact, Dr. Ho told us that menopause is a new beginning. We say good bye to PMS, our children is graduating, finally we have time for ourselves and our friends, continue to grow wiser and empowered, and have fun, enjoy plus live life to the fullest!

So, don’t let menopause scared us. In fact we shall accept it and embrace it.

There were some booths set up at the main ballroom for participants to join and redeem goodie. I was attracted by Pupulex skincare for acne skin as well as atopiclair skincare for the sensitive skins. In fact, I am using atopiclair cream for my girls since few years ago to fight eczema. Menarini has also setup a booth to provide free analysis to us.

The participation fees were all donated to Mr. Ragunathan family. His family is suffer from financial problems with too many kids, and we hope that his life is better with our donation.

Not forgetting to take a pic with the pretty emcee, Christina Wong

It was truly an inspiring day for me, thank you Menarini for organising the A Woman’s Journey Through Heatlh workshop.

My girls are picky eaters, they don’t like to eat solid food and hence I always buy snacks for them as I thought it’s better than nothing. I always buy organic or natural snacks for them, but in fact I tasted them and found out that they don’t taste good.

Back in August, I found a new and healthy snacks for them. Even better, this snack taste really good that I have to fight with them to get to eat some. Let me share with you, the Frutzee Family that was launched by Nutrio Food.

Nutrio Food is a food company by parents who understand the challenges that a family faced especially in maintaining a healthy family lifestyle. Derek, Frutzee’s managing director is a father of 3 adorable children, but turned out they are very picky eaters. With his 10 years background in the food business and immense commitment in providing the best for his family, he and his partners, Eddie, has came up with this new concept of snacks that’s not only healthy, nutritious, but also super tasty.

Frutzee Family is the first healthy fruit snack series that is available in 4 real fruit varieties, including Banana, Grapes, Apple and Strawberries. Frutzee Family is designed to cater the needs of children from 12 months old onward. Frutzee Family tastes crunchy at first and juicy later, hence do supervise your children with care when consuming the snacks.

Now, you must be curious how did they made Frutzee Family? Using the patented and proven cutting-edge technology, Nutrio Food washed and placed the fruits in a vacuum chamber to be cooled up to -30 degree Celsius. By freezing the fruits at fresh point, the natural freshness and taste are retained. In addition, air is pumped out in the vacuuming process, changing the frozen water crystals into gas and leaving the fruit dehydrated. The nutritional benefits are preserved for over one year through this particular process, while also giving the products its trademark crispiness.

Frutzee Family is great to consume directly, and it can be use to make creative snacks too. I have made the Frutzee Family’s parfait for my kids, they love it so much. It’s easy to made, just prepare 1 pack of Frutzee Family snacks in each flavour, and 2 big scoops of yogurt. First, I place the yogurt as a base in the tall glass, and then I layer up with Frutzee Family snack. It is so colorful and delicious, yet very nutritious to them.

Frutzee Family has a very cute and colorful packaging. There's atory on the back of the box too, so creative isn't it? Each box of Frutzee Family contains 4 small packs of snack, which is really convenient to bring out to anywhere.

The Frutzee Family is available online at www.frutzee.my and www.motherhood.com.my

They are also available at Babyland SS2, Chubby Chubby at The Waterfront @Parkcity, Rising Sun Health Food at Kepong, Kedai Ubat Wei Yip at SS2 and Lobbee at Publika.

I am a fan of live cooking show, I always admire those who cook in front of many people and within limited time. For me, I definitely can’t do it as it will be stressed and panic. So I rather enjoy looking people cook. Thankful to a lovely invitation, I was glad to witness the five finalist teams of the Jom Airfry dan Menang cooking competition’s grand finale cook-off at Tropicana City Mall last Sunday.

The five finalist teams of the Jom Airfry dan Menang werecarefully selected from the numerous entries received. Organised by Institut Jantung Negara (IJN) and Philips Malaysia. The Jom Airfry dan Menangcompetition is a part of their continued partnership for the FATCHECK For A Healthy Heart programme. In the grand finale organised in partnership with AEON BiG, the five pairs of airfrying enthusiasts battled it out to win prizes totalling over RM35,000.

The Jom Airfry dan Menang competition was organised in support of the World Heart Federation’s annual World Heart Day celebration, which aims to increase awareness on cardiovascular diseases (CVD). In line with the World Heart Federation’s ‘Power Your Life’ campaign, Philips aims to encourage people to take personal responsibility for leading heart-healthy lives, starting by eating healthy. For the competition, participants in teams of two were required to submit low-fat recipes of heart-friendly meals made using an airfryer to be eligible. The finalist teams were then selected based on the healthfulness and presentation of their recipes, the creative usage of the airfryer as well as the amateur chefs’ own personal story using the airfryer.

“Philips’ focus on heart health encompasses prevention, diagnosis and treatment. Our new partnership with the World Heart Federation is an important element of our commitment to drive prevention of CVD by highlighting the risk factors associated with CVD and to help people make better choices and develop healthier habits for life,” said Mr Muhammad Ali Jaleel, Chief Executive Officer for Philips Group of Companies in Malaysia. “This is also our second year working with IJN for the FATCHECK for a Healthy Heart community education programme as it is our shared mission to create deeper understanding of heart-healthy eating among the public.”

Mr Muhammad Ali Jaleel, Chief Executive Officer for Philips Group of Companies in Malaysia

“This year, we are happy to see the participation of people who enjoy whipping up airfried dishes and are conscious about leading a healthy lifestyle through heart-healthy meals. With kitchen appliances such as the Philips Airfryer Turbostar, Philips strives to continue improving lives by offering innovative products,” Mr Ali added. “The Philips Airfryer Turbostar is the latest addition to our range of kitchen appliances. With it comes the option of enjoying heart-healthy,low-fat cooking that is easy and fuss-free without compromising on taste. The dishes prepared today by our finalists with their passion for airfrying are great examples of what the Airfryer can do with less to no oil at all,”

Prior to the grand finale cook-off, the final five teams attended a masterclass session where they had the opportunity to learn from Celebrity Chef Zamzani Wahab and Puan Mary Easaw, chief dietician from IJN, on cooking under pressure and recommended nutritional requirements respectively. The teams were able to apply their knowledge from the masterclass in the grand finale showdown.

To add to the challenge faced by the finalists, the grand finale cook-off featured a mystery box which held a secret ingredient that had to be included in the final dish. In one hour, participants had to whip up a two-course meal for two consisting of a low-fat nutritious main course and a dessert using the Philips Airfryer.

“Reducing fat intake has emerged as one of the public’s biggest challenges in Malaysia. In fact, the Malaysian Adult Nutrition Survey in 2014 found that most of us are eating way too much fat, with median intake standing at 46.43 grams per day. These observations were very significant because excessive fat intake increases your risk of a heart attack. Moreover, the National Health & Morbidity Survey 2015 showed that 30% of Malaysians are overweight with 17.7% of them being obese. 47.7% also have high cholesterol. This is extremely alarming for Malaysia. In fact, over 90% of heart disease patients have at least one of those cardiovascular risk factors – a point that was made by the Malaysian National Cardiovascular Disease Databases - Acute Coronary Syndrome (NCVD-ACS) initiative,” said Dato’ Seri Dr Mohd Azhari Yakub, Chief Executive Officer of IJN.

He added on, “I am glad that the participants had the opportunity to learn more about the importance of a balanced nutritious diet and were able to apply their knowledge from the masterclass to the grand finale cook-off. Educating Malaysians on their recommended nutritional requirements is a crucial part of the programme and helps Malaysians lead a healthier lifestyle.”

The cook-off finale was judged by Dato’ Seri Dr Mohd Azhari Yakub; Puan Mary Easaw; Celebrity Chef and cookbook author Marina Mustafa and Mr Muhammad Ali Jaleel. The dishes were judged based on their taste, appearance and nutritional value.

The winning teams who have won the following prizes were:

· Grand prize winners (Team Yummy Mommy Happy Tummy consisting of Angeline Ng Geok Kee and Chan Hee Mooi) - RM10,000 worth of Philips products and IJN Men and Women Wellness Package worth RM3,000

· Second prize winners(Team Yummy Yummy consisting of Ng Lee Hong and Tan Choon Siong) – RM7,000 worth of Phiips products and IJN Essential Wellness Package worth RM1,900

· Consolation prize winners – RM1,500 worth of IJN Fitness and Wellness Package

Congratulations to them, well done to all the participants! Apart from the grand finale of the Jom Airfry dan Menang cooking competition, the weekend roadshow at Tropicana City Mall in conjunction with the grand finale also offered free public health screening by IJN to first 100 visitors, promotions on IJN Wellness packages and a showcase of Philips’ appliances.

作为一个广东人，我很喜欢吃，尤其是新鲜又不会吃胖的海鲜类。我记得我在日本吃的鱼都很新鲜美味，原来他们除了使用新鲜的渔产，他们还有先进的技术处理渔产以保持渔产的新鲜和美味。现在，我们在马来西亚也可以吃到这个使用‘Ikejime’技术处理的渔产。

源自于日本，‘Ikejime’技术是在鱼棚里处理鱼只，减少Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)和消除鱼腥味，俗称为‘放血’。GST Group of Companies在成立三十一年后再次带给马来西亚食家最新鲜美味的‘Ikejime’鱼。

IKEJIME Fish Pearl Grouper

IKEJIME Fish Red Snapper

上个星期，我们一行人率先在Sunway Mentari 的Wellcome Seafood尝试了‘Ikejime’鱼。我们点了两条‘Ikejime’鱼，分别是黑色龙虎斑和红枣鱼。两条‘Ikejime’鱼都很肥美鲜甜，各有三公斤多重！师傅把每条鱼一分为二，总共准备了四种不同的煮法让我们味蕾大开。看下四种不同的煮法是什么？

１) 唐酢黑色龙虎斑

唐酢黑色龙虎斑有点象日本的剌身。GST Group of Companies将鱼血放净后，把鱼送到餐馆。师傅将鱼肉切成薄片，晶莹通透。我们把鱼肉片浸入香甜的上汤后就可以食用了。

吃时可依个人喜好加入师傅特别准备的特别佐料来调味及伴食。这鱼生正体现了粤菜口味清淡、鲜嫩爽滑的特点，特别是用料新鲜的风格。

２) 瓦煲芹香焗黑色龙虎斑

瓦煲芹香焗黑色龙虎斑色香味具全，超好吃的。师傅把龙虎斑放进瓦煲里焖煮，加上芹菜等调味料，让我们吃得津津有味。

３) 风味酱炸红枣鱼

风味酱炸红枣鱼有点象我们时常吃的asam 蒸，浆汁丰富，很好送饭吃。

４) 果皮姜丝蒸红枣鱼

果皮姜丝蒸红枣鱼很特别，师傅加入了果皮姜丝和冬菇一起蒸，味道鲜甜又保持了鱼的鲜味，适合一家大小的一道菜。

总的来说，‘Ikejime’鱼肥美鲜甜，没有任何欲腥味。肉色都是白白嫩嫩的，好看又好吃。现在回想起来还在吞口水呢。如果要预定或尝试‘Ikejime’鱼，请联络GST Group of Companies　或　Wellcome Seafood.

Kids love sugar, and sometimes too much! But as parents, we need to be more informed and empowered to make good decisions to reduce sugars in our children’s diets. It’s essential for us to take care of our diet, especially on the sugar intake per day. I personally think that it’s best to start them young, and keep your kids off added sugars as long as possible so the taste for sugars does not get in the way of them enjoying more nutritious foods such as vegetables and fruits.

Do you know how much sugar your children consume in a day? I believe most of the parents can’t answer this simple question. There are many types of added sugar in foods and even milk too, hence it’s time for us parents to learn how to read labels.

Thanks to our Ministry of Health, all the foods in the market come with a clear ingredients list. However, the amount for most sugars fall under the carbohydrate amount hence making it difficult to differentiate between natural sugars and added sugars. As a rule, ingredients that are listed first are in the highest volume. So if you recognize added sugars in the first few lines of the ingredients list, alarm bells should go off! Added sugars come in many names which makes it trickier to identify them. Look out for brown sugar, corn syrup solid, dextrose, fructose, glucose, glucose syrup solid, maltose, maltodextrin, and white sugar. If you see any of these names in the label, it indicates that the product has added sugars.

When a kid has excessive added sugars per day, it will increase the likelihood of obesity, develop a sweet tooth which is hard to quit and increase risk of dental cavities. In fact, Malaysian Dietary Guidelines (MDG) for Children and Adolescents 2013 recommends that children who are 2 to 6 years old should have no more than 3 teaspoons of added sugars per day.

For more information on reading labels and identifying Added Sugar, please go to www.anmum.com.my/happenings/added-sugars

Both my 3 year-old and 7 year-old are still drinking growing up milk everyday hence I make sure their milk does not contain added sugars. Anmum Essential is a growing up milk with all the important nutrients, but no added sugars.

How do I gain my knowledge? I found a very interesting Curious Kid Video from Anmum Essential which I would love to share with you all.

As you see, if Adam can ask these questions, you can start asking too! Parents, let’s start reading food labels to make sure we only give the best nutrition without added sugars to our kids. As for me, I am certain that my daughters are getting enough nutrients for their growing needs, without added sugars!

Living in downtown KL, I seldom visit Sungai Long or Cheras area. Finally I paid my first visit to Sungai Long last Saturday. Nope I did not go to the famous college but I went there because of food! Yeah, we Malaysian love to eat, and we could travel miles and miles so long there’s nice food, don’t we?

So my friend told me that Sungai Long has a new hawker centre, the ‘Sungai Long 668 Food Court’ which has just opened for nearly a month. We drove all the way following the directions by Waze, passed by Cheras Batu 11 and not long later, we turned left at the Sungai Long’s main road junction and saw this big and bright food court at our right hand side. It has a big neon sign hence it’s not easy to be missed.

Sungai Long 668 Food Court is attached with a sport centre, hence there’s ample of free car park available for the customers.

There are variety of food available for us to choose from. Since we had travel so far, we ordered a lot of food to try!

Char kuey teow, our popular local cuisine for the whole family. The Char kuey teow there has a strong aroma and taste very nice, strongly recommended for all.

Ikan bakar (Malaysian style grilled fish) is another must have at Sungai Long 668 Food Court. There are variery of fishes to choose from, we had ordered 2 fishes including stingray. The fishes were fresh and the sauce was spicy and tasty.

Satay & Grilled Chicken Wing are very popular at Sungai Long 668 Food Court. Make sure you order them once you reach there to avoid long queue ya.

Nasi Lemak there has a lot of side dishes to choose from. We love their sambal petai (sambal with bitter beans) a lot, yummy!

How could we missed chicken rice! Chicken rice is an important and popular local dish, many of us including my girls are growing up with it lol.

For noodle person, you will be delighted as you will find pork noodle, asam laksa, prawn mee, Jawa mee and many more there.

Now, if you want something light, do go for the dim sum and bao as they are fresh and tasty.

Or you could even choose Yong Tau Fu to share with friends and family.

If you are not fancy for local foods, don’t worry there are Western food at Sungai Long 668 Food Court too.

I am drooling even when just thinking of my dinner at Sungai Long 668 Food Court. We will go back for more for sure.

It was a crowded day at 1 Utama last Friday, 14th October 2016 as Mamonde’s brand ambassador and popular Korean actress, Park Shin Hye arrived in Malaysia to officially launch Mamonde Flower Day. Mamonde Flower Day is celebrated to inspire us to show love and appreciation to those we love and admire with the gift of a flower. It is also a day dedicated to admiring the beauty around us, be it the beauty of people or the beauty of Mother Nature.

Park Shin Hye, Mamonde’s brand ambassador and popular Korean actress

Arriving in Malaysia for the first time, Park Shin Hye greeted fans and exchanged flowers with Mamonde’s management staff as a gesture of appreciation and love for welcoming her to the launch of Mamonde Flower Day.

Themed around Mamonde’s flower of the month – the Hibiscus, the LG, Oval Concourse of 1 Utama Shopping Centre is transformed into a flower garden with Hibiscus as the main highlight amidst Mamonde’s other four key flowers i.e the Honeysuckle, Narcissus, Lotus and Camellia. The event was a fun-filled affair featuring a myriad of activities and flower attractions. Participants at the event were treated to game stations such as the Flower Dice and Cotton Candy, photobooth, 5 Key Flowers activity booths and a contest with a chance to win prizes. At the Mamonde Flower Garden, the public was given an opportunity to experience of Mamonde’s Five Key Flowers while enjoying special sets and gifts with purchase.

“The Mamonde Flower Day is a significant event for the brand as we wish to instil among Malaysians an appreciation for flowers as a symbol of love and gratitude towards nature and mankind. We are truly honored to have Park Shin Hye grace our event as she personifies the true beauty of a flower and what Mamonde stands for,” said Celine Diong, Brand General Manager of Mamonde Malaysia.

Park Shin Hye was appointed as Mamonde’s brand ambassador in 2014. She began her acting debut in 2003 in the Korean drama Stairway to Heaven.

Since its launch, Mamonde has transformed women through the amazing benefits and energy of flowers. Years of research by Mamonde have revealed the moisturizing and skinnourishing ingredients of flowers which have helped women radiate with blossoming beauty. Mamonde Flower Day will be a yearly celebration of love and appreciation by Mamonde in the month of October, which coincides with Mamonde’s introduction in Korea in October 1991.

Apart from celebrating Mamonde Flower Day, Mamonde also launched two new additions to its Moisture Ceramide range which was an inspiration from the Hibiscus flower – the Moisture Ceramide Skin Softener and Moisture Ceramide Emulsion. Utilizing the powerful moisturizing substance of the Hibiscus flower, the Moisture Ceramide range is formulated with the exclusive Hibiscus Ceramide Plus ingredient to give the skin a completely moist skin barrier. The moisturizing ingredients found in the Hibiscus are thoroughly filled into the empty spots in dead skin cell layers. On the other hand, the high-content ceramide which was exclusively developed for 20 years tightly packs loosened dead skin cells.

The MAMONDE Moisture Ceramide Range contains the natural moisturizing agent found in Hibiscus and ceramide that are similar to skin components which keeps the skin feeling well moisturized and healthy.

The range contains the following benefits:

· Exclusively Developed Hibiscus Ceramide Plus which contains essential ingredients to strengthen cellular walls

· Similar to the skin’s structure, it has a binding effect which adheres and absorbs upon contact with the skin

· Fortifies the skin’s moisturizing walls to regenerate the skin daily

· Exfoliates dead skin cells and maintains a smooth texture to give the skin a glossy finish, making it easy to blend makeup

· Naturally derived and safe ingredients to offer long-lasting comfort and moisturizing effects to the skin

Moisture Ceramide Skin Softener, 200ml (RM69)

I am a loyal supporter of Guardian People’s Choice Awards(PCA), I have been participating the voting of PCA for a few years in a row already. I am glad I was there to witness the Guardian People’s Choice Awards(PCA) 2016 winners’ announcement at Nexus Bangsar South back on 30th September 2016.

Thanks for having me at Guardian People’s Choice Awards(PCA) 2016 & Guardian 49th Anniversary Night

Hurray, the year end examination is finally ended! To reward my girl for studying hard in her exam, we have decided to throw a summer splash party for she and her friends to beat the heats as well as to release the stress. Hence, we have invited a few good friends to join our summer splash party which was happened last weekend.

To kickstart the summer splash party, let's prepare some checklist;

Inflatable tubes – checked

Watergun – checked

Swimming goggles – checked

Sunblock – checked

Snacks and water – checked

Last but not least – swimming suits– oh oh they have outgrown their old swimming suits!

So, I quickly brought them to Parkson @ IOI City Mall to try our luck to get some brand new swimming suits. Parkson @ IOI City Mall has quite a lot of swimsuits brands, and we were attracted by Schwarzenbach counter. It has everything we need including swimming suits for the kids, swimming suits for myself and swimming suits for my hubby! Not only that, the latest Schwarzenbach’s Tropical Party Range which was put on the mannequins is stylish, beautiful and practical to wear.

My girls fell in love with the kids swimsuits while I fell in love with the bikinis. We of course tried out the swimming suits and bought them home at last.

So now, everything is ready for our summer splash party, yay!

We invited 2 of their male playmates to the summer splash party at our condo. It was indeed a fun outing day at the outdoor pool to keep cool and quench the summer heat.

I am happy that the kids had a wonderful splash time with their new swimming suits.

The kids look cute and adorable, while I look trendy and hot with Schwarzenbach swimming suits range. Now, I can’t wait for the upcoming new range from Schwarzenbach.

From my further study, I found that Schwarzenbach is a swimwear brand that is designed for swimmers and lovers built on colorful, trendy and fashionable designs. They have a full range of swim and beach wear for the adults and children complemented with swim accessories. Schwarzenbach offers a variety of designs and sizes for the whole family.

What I like about Schwarzenbach is the swimming suits are made with quality material, and yet the price is affordable. In fact, we fell in love with Schwarzenbach since 3 years back, while my elder girl had her first pair of Schwarzenbach swimsuits 3 years back and it last until now. It’s just that she had outgrown in few sizes and the swinsuits doesn’t fit her anymore, anyway we have passed it down to our younger girl. Oh, just a little tips to always hand wash your swimsuits and dry the suit out completely before putting it away to keep their lifespan longer.

Schwarzenbach is available in AEON and Parkson.

How many of you are still using the conventional cleansing oil to remove makeup daily? For me, I was a cleansing oil user for many years, but it had caused some skin problems to me a few years ago. My skin felt irritating, dry, and it also causing breakouts on my skin.

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water

Luckily I had discovered the Micellar Cleansing Water last year. Micellar Cleansing Water works like a magnet, micelles capture and lift away dirt, oil and makeup without harsh rubbing, leaving skin perfectly clean, hydrated and refreshed without over-drying. In fact, there are quite a lot of Micellar Cleansing Water brands available on the market but I have found the one that is working perfectly and also insanely affordable, that is Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water.

Launched not long ago, Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water offers a few functions in one bottle. We can use it to removes makeup, cleanses and soothes our skin all at 1 gesture.

I like its no-rinse, gentle and easy-to-use formulas which made it perfect for travelling and late nights. I just pour it on a cotton wool pad, and wipe off my makeup with it.

See, my skin is perfectly clean after just one gentle wipe with Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water. I don’t have to harsh rubbing to remove my makeup. It even removes waterproof mascara like magic. What I like most is its lightweight enough to leave skin feeling revitalized, soothed and comfortable.

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water contains No Oil, No Alcohol, and No Fragrance; It is a quick, easy, effective and gentle makeup remover, even for the sensitive skin.

I must say Garnier had done a pretty good job for their first Micellar Cleansing Water. Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water comes in two variants, namely the oil control and gentle. They are available in 2 sizes, the bumper-sized bottle 400ml and travel size 125ml.

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water 400ml is priced at RM29.90, but HERMO is having a promotion for only RM 24.90; while the125ml is priced at RM 14.50, and HERMO is having a promotion price for only RM 9.90.

As a beauty blogger, I visit hair salon to get my hair cut, colour and treatment done at least once a month. It’s a monthly routine to get my hair fix by the professional.

Last month, I had an amazing experience at Hairworx Studio for a hair color and treatment. Today, I gonna tell you the 5 reasons why you should visit Hairworx Studio.

No. 1: Originality - Hairworx Studio is using MoltoBene Professional productsthat are fully imported from Japan.

Hairworx Studio is owned by Trendz Empire Sdn Bhd, which is the sole Distributors of MoltoBene Professional products, a top hair salon brand and products are fully imported from Japan. Apparently Hairworx Studio has 2 outlets in KL, one at Kuchai Lama and another one at Menara RuYi, Taman Seputeh. I had chosen Hairworx Studio Taman Seputeh because it is near to my office.

No. 2: Professionalism – The hair stylists are professional and will provide advice when necessary.

I was attended by the hair stylist, who then offered me a pre-service consultation. He has asked me the color I wanted and what is my concern for my hair.

No. 3: Efficiency – The hair color and treatment is fast and showing immediate result.

After chosen the color, he then started to dye my hair. The color leave on my hair for 30 minutes, and I was glad that the coloring has no unpleasant chemical smell at all. I did not feel tingling feeling during the hair coloring, what a pleasant experience.

Then, he used the Moe Moe Graceful Trip (Hawaii inspired/feel hair products) for my hair treatment. First, he started the spa treatment by applying Spume Soda P which is a scalp mouse to clean my oily scalp, and then shampoo off with spa treatment shampoo. Follow with the steps below;

Step 1: apply Spa Treatment Care Keeper evenly on hair, leave on for 5 minutes

Step 2: Apply Spa Treatment Daily Serum M then wash off

Next he apply Spa Treatment Vita Drop Hair tonic on scalp with a relaxing scalp massage.

One big and bouncy blow-dries and my hair had a mirror-like shine, it look so healthy like never before.

He finished off with applying Loretta base care oilon my hair. I love the Loretta base care oil a lot, it is a hair oil that has very nice rose scent as it is made with tasmaca rose. I feel like putting on fragrance on my hair, lovely.

Few weeks later my hair is just as soft and lustrous as on the day.

With the fabulous services I’ve experienced, I would visit Hairworx Studio again knowing that my hair will be in good hands.

I am a dessert lover, and when given a choice among many cakes, I would always choose cheesecake. In fact, cheesecake is also my husband and my girls’ great loves. However, it’s hard to find a tasty creamy cheesecake in Malaysia but I am glad I found one - The Cat & The Fiddle Cheesecake. Originated from Singapore, Cat & The Fiddleis the first online specialist cheesecake store in Singapore that is specially created by Singapore’s iconic dessert chef, Daniel Tay.

Tasty Creamy Cheesecake from Cat & The Fiddle

Inside these brown boxes are some of the most delightful cheesecakes I have ever had the pleasure of trying. It's Cheesecakes by Cat & The Fiddle. Using only imported cream cheese and premium ingredients, Cat & The Fiddle’s cheesecakes are rich in flavours, tasty, creamy and melted in mouth.

Last Saturday, we had a cheesecakes affair where we have tried the 6 flavours of Cat & The Fiddle available in Malaysia below at HOPP Café;

1. Over the Moon (New York Cheesecake | RM 99)

A classic New York continental cheesecake with rich cream cheese and vanilla beans, the cheesecake itself was simple and stood on its own. This cheesecake is everything you would expect from a phenomenal New York-style cheesecake: it’s creamy, tangy and melt-in-your-mouth fantastic.

2. Queen of Hearts (Strawberry Cheesecake | RM 99)

An all-time favourite, strawberry cheesecake swirled with sweet and velvety strawberries. With a taste of sweet and sour from strawberries and cream cheese, this a classic pairing will never go wrong.

3. The Modern Duke’s Pudding (Oreo Cheesecake | RM 99)

Smooth and creamy cheesecake with crunchy bits of oreo cookie crumble, it’s the best Oreo cheesecake in existence, The Modern Duke’s Pudding is a fail-proof pairing of rich cheese and dark chocolate. The smooth, creamy cheesecake interspersed with crunchy flecks of Oreo cookies provides the palate with textural excitement, while the tempered sweetness of the overall dessert keeps it far from cloying. A timeless treat that for all ages!

4. The Russian Whiskers (Mango Cheesecake | RM 99)

Decorated all around with curls of shaved white chocolate for an elegant touch, the Russian Whiskers is the crowning glory in mango cakes. Beneath the vivid yellow mango glaze is an airy cream cheese mixed with mango puree for a burst of tropical flair, while nestled within are a pleasant surprise: mango-infused biscuits. So refreshing that it’ll leave you hankering for more!

5. Naughty and Nice (Chocolate Cheesecake | RM119.00) NEW flavor launched on 23 Sep 2016

Non-Baked Chocolate cheesecake: A devilishly sinful chocolate cheesecake layered with rich premium couverture chocolate mousse, topped off with pillows of fluffy sponge, the cake was moist and filling.

6. King Cat of the Mountain (Musang King Durian Cheesecake | RM139.00) NEW flavor launched on 23 Sep 2016

Non-Baked Musang King Durian cheesecake: Creamy Musang King cheesecake arresting facade crowned with cubes of soft sponge with its dreamy innards of durian sponge cake and durian-studded cream cheese and soft sponges dusted with Cocoa powder. The King Cat of the Mountain is truly a sublime, so yummy and we can't have enough of it!

Call me a shopaholic! I fall in love with online shopping especially for the cheap and modern products from China. In fact, I believe we all are! As I see most of my friends have been buying online since few years ago. But buying online from China (e.g.Taobao) is quite hard especially for the people who can’t read Chinese, who do not have AliPay, difficult to sign up, no local customer service available, and poor after sales service. Furthermore, the expensive and slow shipping plus needed to spend a lot of time liasing with seller, limit items or additional shipping fees incurred, and the most irritating part where some forwarders are unreliable have made a pullback for buying online.

However, the situations are not happening anymore with ezbuy Malaysia.

Working in a multi-national company, I have the chance to meet people from everywhere in the World. Recently, some of my Vietnam colleagues from Ho Chi Minh City had shifted to base in Malaysia office. As a local, I invited them for lunch and take them around KL. In return, they also tell me stories and things happening in Vietnam.

It has come to my surprised that Vietnamese in the South prefer sweet, not spicy food and whereas in the central of Vietnam, they eat very spicy food. Hence we could their famous dishes like beef pho, bun cha (barbecued pork with rice noodles) and goi cuon(Vietnamese translucent spring roll) that taste from sweet, sour to spicy. Vietnamese is into coffee too, so as a coffee junkie I would surely grab a few of strong and flavourful Vietnamese coffee when I am there.

In fact, it’s a fun feeling when seeing the familiar Asian faces but speaking in English with Vietnamese accent. They are quite shy but very friendly, just like us! Some of the cities that I would visit if I gotten a chance to fly to Vietnam would be;

Hanoi

One must visit Hanoi as it is Vietnam’s capital city. It has undergone rapid transformations in recent decades. Considered one of the most beautiful of the colonial Indochinese cities, Hanoi is a combination of old-world charm and modern developments brought on by its recent surge in tourism.

We always see Hanoi in movies and reality show; the motorbike-filled streets look really amazing. Besides, I would love to visit its lovely parks and museums to streetside restaurants and world-class coffee. What’s more, Hanoi has 4 seasons in a year, and I would definitely visit it in Autumn and Spring.

Ha Long Bay

Ha Long Bayis another famous UNESCO World Heritage site. Located at about 170km east of Hanoi in northern Vietnam. “Ha Long” means “bay of descending dragons” and it is an archipelago made up of 1,969 islands.

At Ha Long Bay, we could enjoy Bai Chay tourist boats, budget and midrange cruises, or luxury cruises. The more adventurous at heart may also choose to kayak or take a seaplane for more panoramic views of its limestone islands.

Ho Chi Minh City

Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) is the largest and most developed city in Vietnam.Commonly known as Saigon, It is often described as a vibrant, dynamic, highly energetic city that has everything a city traveller could hope for – from timeless temples to towering skyscrapers, classy restaurants to unassuming street stalls, the finest hotels to the cheapest guesthouses.

According to my colleague, HCMC has 2 seasons, which is hot or hotter. The people in HCMC is generally nice, friendly and helpful. So, HCMC is another must visit destination when it comes to Vietnam.

There are so many to explore in Vietnam. Now we know why Vietnam has been one of the favourite tourist destinations in Asia for so many years.
