As the leading global colour authority, AkzoNobel is committed in making the world a more colourful place to live. To that extent, Dulux – AkzoNobel’s leading decorative paint brand – has been identifying a Colour of the Year (COTY) for the past 16 years to showcase the correlation between colours and one’s everyday life. This year, Dulux’s Colour of the Year isSpiced Honey.
Its warm amber tones, Spiced Honey (also knowns as Crème Brulee 00YY 26/220) is best described as versatile, sophisticated and timeless. Depending on the palettes the colour is complemented with, Spiced Honey can induce a sense of calmness, cosiness and burst of energy, and so will give one’s household a spruce of life this Chinese New Year.

The home is an integral element of the celebration as families reunite under one roof, and a fresh coat of paint will signify new beginnings and a fresh outlook for the new Lunar year ahead.
Indra Laban, General Manager, Decorative Paints, Malaysia, said: “Our theme for Dulux’s Colour of the Year in 2019 is ‘Letting the Light in,’ so we truly hope that we continue to make a difference in the lives of Malaysians, not only during this auspicious time, but for many generations to come.

[Review] Utena Skincare from Japan

When it comes to skincare, I adore Japan skincare brands because they are always produce with intense research and highest quality. When I know that Utena is coming to our shore, I was very delighted. Utena is one of the leading cosmetics manufacturer in Japan that provides innovative skincare, haircare, and bodycare products. Understands how important taking care of yourself is to lifelong health, satisfaction and happiness. Utena is now official launched in Malaysia not long ago.
Established since 1927, Utena has over 90 years’ experience in manufacturing beauty products in Japan, which are currently being distributed in Japan, China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Thailand, Singapore and now Malaysia.

Skincare is essential no matter how your routine is. It has changed dramatically over the years with the influx of immensely inventive and trendy solutions. This year we have seen the biggest skincare trend - Jelly masks and Utena was one of the first brands to infuse jelly essence (a premier ingredient for hydration) into skincare products.
Utena’s star product, the Premium Puresa Golden Jelly Series has made its debut at the Kuala Lumpur launch recently. The series was first launched in Japan four years ago, and has since won numerous awards such as @cosme, iVOCE and 女人我最大 (Nu Ren Wo Zui Da – Queen).
The number one best-selling golden jelly mask in Japan, the Premium Puresa Golden Jelly Mask is a luxurious, moisturizing product containing one of the highest-known concentration of beauty serum in a mask (33g, a box of 3's is retails at RM 39.90). It is a high-quality sheet mask that undergoes a 6-day soaking period to ensure that its serum is fully absorbed into the mask, which is free of artificial fragrance, artificial colorant, mineral oils, alcohol, silicon and UV absorbers.
The jelly texture also makes it easier and more comfortable to apply, as the mask has comparatively minimal drips. The masks can be used alone or after the Premium Puresa Golden Jelly Lotion (190ml retail at RM 99.90), a rich jelly-type lotion containing 5 different moisturizing ingredients and Kanazawa gold foil that acts as a booster to deeply hydrate and nourish the skin, leaving it with an envious glow. I like how Utena Premium Puresa Golden Jelly Lotion plump up my skin almost instantly without any greasiness after that.
I like how generous the serum in the mask, it comes with mild flowery scent that I like. The result is good on my skin. My mild sensitive skin is boosted with hydration and oil after just 20 minutes of masking.

The Premium Puresa Golden Jelly Mask comes in a few variants, from the original Utena Premium Puresa Golden Jelly Mask Hyaluronic Acid to Utena Premium Puresa Golden Jelly Mask Collagen, Utena Premium Puresa Golden Jelly Mask Royal Jelly and Utena Premium Puresa Golden Jelly Mask Rose. Each of them works wonder to your skin.
In addition, Utena is also bringing a handy solution to keep their up-do hairstyles in place at all times with the Matomage Hair Styling Series, featuring an improved formula for Malaysia’s tropical climate.
The Matomage Hair Styling Stick (13g retails at RM 34.90) is inspired by the vintage “tique” men’s styling pomade and is perfect for controlling flyaway or stray hairs. It is an award-winning hair wax formulation, fortified with natural ingredients such as beeswax, shea butter, beauty oils and added moisture-absorbing ingredient to make hair look smooth and shiny, even in hot and humid weather. The stick applies wax directly on the hair to prevent hands from getting dirty, and its compact size allows anyone to tame rebellious hair on-the-go.
The Mamotage Hair Styling Water (100ml for RM 49.90) is a liquid wax that tames wild and frizzy stray hair while keeping tresses soft and healthy. This revolutionary product works like regular hairspray, except that it will not harden keeping hair looking natural throughout the day. They are certainly helpful when it comes to hair styling especially during the coming CNY.

Utena is now available in Sasa stores, Play Up Advance stores; selected Aeon departmental stores, selected Ben's Independent Grocer stores, Jinnovation beauty studio, selected independent pharmacies, major e-commerce platforms including Tokyoninki. Besides, it will also be launched in Watsons stores by February 2019.

Beaconhouse Kickstarts The Year of Championing Breakfast for Kids

We all know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, it's a must for everyone. Especially for the school kids because they need more energy than us to kick-start the day and stay focused throughout the day.

As a parent, we try our best to provide a
 nutritious breakfast for our kids so that they can grow up healthily and helps them with concentration and productivity. A breakfast jar contains healthy ingredients such as muesli, fruits and yoghurt will be one of the best choice for them.
To create awareness on the importance for children to start the day right with a nutritious breakfast, Beaconhouse has teamed up with Yogood Malaysia to held the 'Build Your Own Breakfast Jar' event on last Wednesday, 23 Jan 2019. We were honoured to be invited to the event that was held at Beaconhouse Sri Inai International School in Taman SEA, PJ. Squeals of laughter and excited chatter filled the air of the hall as 60 year six pupils turned into young chefs to take part in the exciting activity that day.
The school invited a parent to team up with their child to help foster precious bonding moments during the activity. Empowering kids to take ownership of their breakfasts is great move to ensure they eat their breakfast the way they want to, and creating good habits on nutrition. In long run, this saves parents' time and the child will be more likely to eat a good breakfast if he/she is part of the delicious creation.
Celebrity guest and hands-on mum Daphne Iking led the children in creating their own unique versions of breakfast in a jar using crunchy Muesli from Yogood, yoghurt, fresh fruits and honey.

"Breakfast jars are quick, healthy and delicious and they're super easy to make no matter how busy your mornings are. If it's a struggle to get your kids to eat breakfast, this is a fun way to engage them. Kids will have fun making it themselves and eating it out of a jar is a treat on its own," shared Daphne, a busy working Mom of 3 young children.
Mr. Ali Raza, Regional Director of Beaconhouse Group of Schools said that no matter how difficult, parents must make it a priority for their kids have a nutritious meal before heading to school.

"Breakfast is the meal that fuels the beginning of the school day. After a rejuvenating night of sleep, the brain and body need fuel to operate. Studies have shown that kids who eat breakfast perform better academically than kids who don't. This is our initiative to educate the kids on the importance of good nutrition and what this means," explained Mr. Ali.

Yogood, the renowned brand that produces healthy food made from wholesome grains, quality nuts and fruits was the main partner advocating good nutrition for children alongside Beaconhouse. Ms. Junita Ee, Brand Manager of Yogood Malaysia said the brand came on board as it sees a great opportunity to create a positive paradigm shift to get more Malaysians to take healthier eating habits starting with breakfast.
"While having breakfast is crucial, what goes into the breakfast is just as important. Whole grains are absorbed by the body more slowly so that you don't get a blood sugar spike, and they, along with fiber and protein, are more likely to keep your child's belly feeling happy until snack time or lunch," said Junita.
We have tried out the overnight Yogood Muesli prepared by the team at the event. They are indeed an aromatic and delicious breakfast for the kids and the adults too! With the Breakfast in a Jar project, Beaconhouse wishes to get more parents on board to fuel their children's morning with proper nutrition leading to better learning and performance in school.

How to Raise Kind Kids

Children are born innocent, they need to be loved, learn, and to contribute. I believe parent is the most important role to teach their kids on the value and contribute to society when they grow up. Unlike many typical parents that concerns with their kids' achievement in academic, I am more concerned on how they cared for others and in return, get the achievement and happiness from within.
Over the past 10 years as a mother, I have been teaching my girls to be kind, caring, and respectful. I hope they grow up to be a responsible adult. There's many way we can teach and guide our kids and raise them to become a kind kids.
Firstly, to set priority on caring for others. I started bring my daughters to the theme parks when they were young. Theme park is a common public area where many other kids and adults around. I found that my daughters learn to balance their needs with the needs of others at the playing area. For example, when to cooperate with the teammate to deliver items or deciding to care for friend who is ill at KidZania Kuala Lumpur.
When my daughters show that kindness, I would praise and encourage them. Sometimes I also rewards them with their dream toys for being a kind kid. I can see their happiness of achievement from their face when I do that.KidZania Kuala Lumpur is an edutainment place for the kids to practice caring and gratitude. There are many role plays available in the facilities that teach the kids about kindness. It's a family-oriented place where kids get to play with many roles to socialise and be kind to the others, regardless of races and gender.
Ever since their experience in KidZania Kuala Lumpur, my girls are helpful and kind. They understand that by helping other do things around the school, house or outside, they will gain the happiness from within. Eventually they will become a kind kid and show their character in adults. The World will be a better place if everyone is kind, don't judge, and have respect for others, don't you agree?
Have you been trying to raise a kind kids too? Share me your thoughts by commenting below ok.

Over the decades, Ryo’s hair care is differentiated from the rest of global hair care by its niche products; offering herbal and medicinal remedies for hair loss to women worldwide.” Ryo currently boasts a record holder of No. 1 market share in the herbal shampoo category for 9 consecutive years from June 2009 – June 2018, according to Kantar Worldpanel, a global expert in shopper’s behaviour.
Using ‘Yin’ and ‘Yang’ as the basis of Ryo’s treatment formulation, the ‘Yin’ is represented by Ryo (inner nature) which is the scalp while ‘Yang’ is represented by Yul (surface) which is the hair. Ryo believes that achieving a harmonious balance between the ‘Yul-Ryo’ is important in achieving healthy lustrous hair but any hair issues must first be addressed from the Ryo which is the scalp. Therefore, Ryo’s treatment remains focused on the scalp. Ryo is also the first hair care brand in the market that treats the scalp apart from the hair.
Ryo’s product efficacy stems from the usage of oriental medicinal ingredients as well as natural plant ingredients in its formulation.

Bath time is more than just a chore; it is the perfect time for precious bonding moments. It is a daily routine that children can benefit most from the extra loving care from parents and caregivers. Bathing helps children relax and the physical touch reassures children in the tender loving care of parents.
CARRIE JUNIOR, the trusted brand in children’s toiletries introduces new bath time fun with the CARRIE JUNIOR Bubbly Bar. The new CARRIE JUNIOR Bubbly Bar will give bath time a whole new dimension of fun in the bathroom. The transparent bathing bar imprinted with a 3D image of Carrie comes in 3 bright and attractive colours of pink, green and blue in accordance with the variants.
The new CARRIE JUNIOR Bubbly Bar is a Glycerine soap, making it gentler on skin than most soaps. Glycerine which is derived from natural plant oils makes the soap lower in pH compared to other soaps. It cleanses as it leaves a layer of moisturizing protection behind, helping the skin stay moist. Glycerine in the CARRIE JUNIOR Bubbly Bar also acts as a humectant, drawing moisture to the skin keeping it hydrated all the time. The humectant property does not make skin greasy, but instead it keeps it supple. CARRIE JUNIOR Bubbly Bar is dermatologically tested, suitable for all skin types, very mild and gentle on the skin; when diluted with water, it has a soothing effect and is also softening to the skin.
Keep your child’s skin hydrated constantly, giving it a moist feeling for up to several hours after bath. Regular use of the CARRIE JUNIOR Bubbly Bar makes skin softer and suppler. The gentle scrubbing effect while using the bathing bar also helps relaxes the body.
The CARRIE JUNIOR Bubbly Bar comes in the 3 best-selling, delightfully fruity scents of Groovy Grapeberry, Cheeky Cherry and Double Milk keeps skin fresh and clean.

As Cupid prepares to strike his arrow, WIP and SOULed OUT outlets across the country will be offering unique menus for two in celebration of the month of love. Come 14th February, treat your loved ones to any of these delectable dinners, served with a side of romance and intrigue.
Taking inspiration from the first Man and Woman, WIP’s Adam & Eve menu offers a sinful four-course meal that is set to tantalize your senses.
The set starts off with a deliciously rich Butternut Squash Apple soup.
Followed by a zesty Citrus Mixed Berry Salad.

For the main course, patrons can choose between the Pommery Salmon– a juicy salmon fillet with balsamic grain mustard sauce – or the Tenderloin with Berry Coulis served with honey balsamic roasted brussels sprouts, baby carrots and broccoli.
In keeping with the theme, dessert tempts you to take a bite out of the “Forbidden Fruit” itself in the form of an Apple Confit Parfait, served with Häagen Dazs Strawberry ice-cream.
To sweeten the deal, the meal also comes with a specially crafted cocktail called ‘Garden of Eden’ – an ambrosial meld of gin, elderflower liqueur, cider, apple juice, apple syrup, mint leaves and lime juice. The Adam & Eve menu is priced at RM268++ per couple and is available exclusively on 14th February at WIP. And if that wasn’t enough to transform WIP into the Garden of Eden, a snake charmer will be making an appearance for patrons to take photos with.
Valentine’s Day will be celebrated with an Asian twist across the SOULed OUT outlets with its unique menu that will be available on 14th and 15th of February. Offering a four-course meal at RM158++ per couple, SOULed OUT will be giving Valentine’s Day diners a choice between three main courses that feature Asian flavours in typically Western dishes. After a hearty bowl of Chestnut Soup and Lovers Spring Roll to kick off the set, couples will have a choice of fish, chicken or beef. The fish option is a “Ngaku” (or Arrow Root) Crusted Halibut, which rests atop a bed of roasted cherry tomatoes, edamame, watercress and gnocchi over brown butter sauce. For those who can’t have a meal without rice, the Salt & Pepper Chicken Organic Chicken would be the prime choice as its stir-fried ‘Chinese’ style and served with grain rice and steamed nai pak. Meat-lovers would fall head over heels for the Soy & Sesame Filet Mignon, which features bacon marinated in oriental spices wrapped around a fillet of tenderloin grilled to perfection and served with edamame, carrots, watercress and fondant potatoes. No meal is complete without a sweet ending, and in this case it’s the Tangerine Chocolate Terrine – a sinfully rich chocolate cup garnished with a tangerine peel and sprinkled with crushed ‘Hongyuan’ candy.
On top of the mouth-watering menu, a specially curated wine menu is also available at a special price for patrons looking to complement their meal. Those who aren’t looking to purchase an entire bottle will be entitled to a 20% discount on premium pours by the glass.

So, take your pick this Valentine’s Day and sweep your significant other off their feet with any of the distinctive Valentine’s menus at WIP and SOULed OUT outlets.

Happy Valentine's Day to all my lovely readers. It's the perfect time to enjoy and show your love to your loved ones today. However, to be able to love, we must love ourselves first. Knowing about this, Lactacyd, No.1 Feminine wash worldwide, takes a step to beat the norm, encouraging women from all walks of life to love themselves first by making better and healthier choices under the campaign themed ‘Be The Best You on V Day’.
I was honoured to be invited to a tea party held by Lactacyd at Greenhouse by Muir two days ago. I like how it was decorated into pinkish feminine theme with roses and other fresh flowers. There, I met my fellow influencers and media friends from all walks of life and we had a great afternoon together.
Not only we have discussed various aspects of self-care and beauty (grooming) and health. The event also emphasised that loving yourself first is actually the best love you would give to anyone.
Ms. Maynart Mesommonta welcomed all the guests

The gorgeous Ms. Maynart Mesommonta, Marketing Director of Lactacyd Malaysia said, “Lactacyd has been around for more than 30 years and is a preferred feminine wash products by doctors and women everywhere. This Valentine’s Day had us thinking out of the box and gave us an opportunity to reinforce our brand’s belief; to empower women and encourage them to give importance on self-love by starting from taking care of their feminine hygiene. We believe that true confidence comes from within because when you are confident, you can take over the world and Lactacyd is there for you to achieve this. Through this campaign, we want women to place more importance on vaginal care and enjoy Lactacyd products that offer cleanliness, freshness, and comfort for the confidence every woman needs to bring out her best.”

Then, three amazing women shared their knowledge and experience in the healthcare discussion. Datuk Dr. Nor Ashikin Mokhtar, an obstetrics and gynaecology specialist; Weena Marcus, Miss Tourism Malaysia 2009/2010, and beauty lifestyle influencer; and Juanita Ramayah, former HITZ radio host and current TV host discussed ways on loving and embracing yourself by taking care of your personal hygiene and how vaginal PH balance matter for a healthy vagina.
Women, we need to love ourselves better by implementing proper intimate because our intimate area is delicate and can be prone to infection. Hence, using a feminine care products is the best practical hygiene habits. It is simple to achieve, we can maintain acidic pH and keep good bacteria (such as lactobacilli) healthy and bad bacteria in check of our vagina by using Lactacyd.
Through the forum, Lactacyd unveiled the fact that most women do not spend much on feminine products other than sanitary napkins and would only seek help when an infection occurs. It was sad to know. Hence, it's time to encourage all women to love ourselves more by using feminine care products to keep our vagina happy and healthy.
Lactacyd has four different variants such as All Day Fresh, White Intimate, Soft & Silky and all-time favourite Feminine Hygiene to answer different types of women’s need. Every bottle of Lactacyd are specially formulated with natural milk Lactoserum and Lactic acid that help maintain PH balance of your vagina.
Lactacyd also invited seasoned florists from The Florest to guide us step-by-step on how to make our own bouquet of flowers accompanied with Lactacyd products. Everyone was so happy to be able to make our own ‘Loving Me Basket’ and brought it home to express our self-love.
All of us went back happily with more knowledge about feminine care, all thanks to Lactacyd. The event concluded with a group photo with Lactacyd’s key management personnel and guests in attendance. The ‘Be The Best You on V Day’ campaign will run throughout February 2019.

[Review] Murad Age Reform Skincare

January was the busiest time for me to prepare the most important festival we celebrate. My skin was really tired and dry after the sleepless nights and never ending ceremonies. I can see my wrinkles clearly even after makeup! It was a nightmare to me and when I was thinking about how to face my friends and relative during CNY? My lucky star has strike me, I discovered the new skincare set from Murad.

Murad Age Reform Skincare set has replenishes my skin in no time. My skin look plump and nourished this CNY all thanks to Murad. Want to know more? Scroll down to read my review.
Firstly, I clean my skin with AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser (200ml | RM 218)


AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser is a highly active cleanser with a trio of exfoliating acids and jojoba skin-polishing beads to revitalize skin. It helps to softening Skin, cleaning pores of dead skin in a gentle way. AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser does not contain Phthalates hence it is environmental friendly.

I am using this cleanser a few times a week. The texture is quite watery, and I love the gentle exfoliation properties that exfoliate my dead skin gently. My skin seems to glow all day after using this.

Then, follow with apply Nutrient-Charged Water Gel (50ml | RM 320)

Nutrient-Charged Water Gel is a lightweight, oil-free gel moisturizer with cumulative hydration-release technology that locks moisture to skin and increases retention for up to five days. The water gel improve dry and dull Skin significantly, and also reduce appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and rough skin texture.

This moisturizer features a unique blend of five minerals, five vitamins, and five peptides that helps strengthen the skin’s barrier in as little as 30 minutes to prevent water loss while plumping and smoothing skin. Vitamins alleviate dryness, provide anti-wrinkle benefits, and soothe as essential minerals support healthy-looking skin tone and texture. Five potent peptides help visibly restore damaged skin.
The best part is Nutrient-Charged Water Gel is cruelty-free, and formulated without gluten and animal-derived ingredients. It does not contains Parabens, Sulfates, or Phthalates hence it is suitable for all skin type and we can use it confidently on our skin.

I apply a dime-sized amount of Nutrient-Charged Water Gel, it provides enough hydration for wearing alone, or underneath your SPF and makeup. It felt light, fresh and cool on my skin. It would stay hydrated all day, my skin feels plumper, youthful and soft. My makeup even looks smoother too, yay.
What I like about Murad skincare is that their products are scientifically proven, dermatologist developed, and tested on people, not animals. Lastly, let's read what the insider from Murad teaches us below;

"‘Eat your water’ is a phrase I have been using for many years. Staying sufficiently hydrated isn’t just about drinking eight glasses of water a day. When we eat more water-rich foods, we absorb water more slowly because it is trapped in the nutritional structure of these foods. Slow absorption means that water in food stays in our bodies longer to optimize hydration. The same rule applies to skin. Applying nutrient-rich ingredients will strengthen the skin barrier and help our skin trap and hold onto more water, longer. That’s how the formula for Nutrient-Charged Water Gel was born."—Howard Murad, M.D., FAAD
