Lotsa Luv from Down Under~

My Lush loot from Captain, when i get back to Aussie in May, i am going to grab all the bath bombs!!

Brazened Honey Fresh Face Mask


This has crushed almond flakes in it so when washing it off, try to make use of the almond flakes to give your skin a good scrub:)A great mask for detoxifying.Lots of spices can be found inside this mask.



Ring of Roses Buttercream soap
I am slightly disappointed that there are not a single dried rose in this...but it is ok as it smells quite good. It has been ages since i use a SOAP.

Loccitance Shea Butter Hand Cream Trio
to keep my hands moisturised...i am using Loccitane's Rose Velvet Cream at the moment too.The shea butter hand cream does take a longer time to be absorbed but i am pretty sure it does a better job in replenishing the moisture in your hands too.

Captain brought back my favourite chips- Red Rock Deli Honey Soy Chicken. I love potato chips in Australia and i believed i have tried all the flavours of potato chips from Red Rock Deli and Smith. Where can you find heavenly Pepper Lime and Chilli SourCream potato chips???Red Rock Deli....they can be found in Singapore but are overpriced...I am trying to control my cravings for them now...i am trying to lose some weight but i love my carbohydrates so much...

Captain got the Coles bag for me too. I missed my days in Australia, going to Coles with my Coles shopping bag, buying baking items and other groceries. Almost everyone in Australia uses those eco friendly bags, i certainly hope that Singaporeans can do the same thing too.

I baked some blueberry muffins last night too and they turned out pretty well.
Arent these lovely?




My Cheng Teng that i made for Captain.


My Strawberry Crumble. I will never follow that recipe that i found online again though.

Next baking project? Mini fruit tarts and egg tarts.

I am going to switch my cleanser to another brand. Kiehl's? I heard that their whitening line is quite popular.I am going to buy their face scrubs too. Kiehl's products really works wonders.I need a Vitamin C serum too..so many things to buy to maintain my skin...i am just so envious of those who are born with flawless skin. But no matter what, maintenance is of high importance to every woman.Need to get some beauty sleep now or my dark eye circles are going to haunt my face again.

I need to stock up on these Bihada Ichizoku masks too when i go to Japan next month! Cheap and good masks!


This tonic drink is raved by many girls in Taiwan, 大S claims to drink it regularly. It's a pity that we can't get this in Singapore. The herbs used in this drink can be obtained easily from chinese medicine halls but it might be a hassle to some to boil it themselves. Just grab one bottle of this drink and you are ready to get out of the house and start your day with it. The herbs used in this drink can promote good blood circulation and is suitable for those suffering from cold feet and hands, girls who have just had their periods and etc. It tasted quite nice to me as i like the taste of chinese herbs but for some, it might not taste too pleasant but for the sake of good health and beauty...why not?There's another flavour made from papaya that claims to boost bust size....hmmm.....

Marbled Cheesecake







This is the marbled cheesecake that i baked many days ago and i have forgotten to blog about this. It's pretty easy to make as all the ingredients were provided in a small box from Muji. This was sold during Valentine's Day season and everything from the range was completely sold out!


I will be making strawberry crumble and peach tart next....
And finally....i found the tart moulds for my egg tarts!!!!!!!!!!!!

SoyJoy

I collected my release letter from my tuition grant bond today at Ministry of Education after much procrastination. Another thing off my mind now:)
After that i made my way to Vivo City to preorder my Hello KittyXMAC goodies.Tangs members will be able to preorder from the collection since last friday.
I bought a lipglass(it's actually lipgloss, MAC call it lipglass anyway)in Nice Kitty and i will be able to pick it up on 6th March, the official launch date for this collection.
This is the whole list of items from the collection and their prices.



I bought 3 SoyJoy bars for instant energy in the flavours, Apple,Hawthorn Berry and Raisin Almond. I can't find the Strawberry flavour:( These SoyJoy bars are made in Japan and made mainly from soybeans and fruits. Soybeans are essential for producing healthy female hormones and is important for great skin too.They do not taste fantastic and Captain agreed to this too but for the sake of beauty and good health, it is all worth it.....Hope that i can get the whole collection of the range when i go to Japan.
Captain is coming back tomorrow and i have made some Cheng Teng, a chinese dessert, for him.

Citrus Fun and Pink Ladies

I have just created two new sets on polyvore....Citrus Fun brings out the vibrant style of a lovely young lady while Pink Ladies plays with the sophistication of Pink~

Lush Affair

I am so in love with Lush products...too bad that we can't get them in Singapore. I remembered that Lush used to be in Singapore but i have no idea what made them move out from this sunny island.




I bought this bath bombs trio from Gold Coast last year and had a bombing great time, in the bath tubs....but for this last bath bomb,i have to use it as a foot soak as i dont have a bath tub in my house:( This is actually called Champagne Supernova....not Sex Bomb, i cut up part of the box that held the bath bombs to decorate the bottle of stars for Captain and as a result, the part for Champagne Supernova was being damaged.
The smell or should i say aroma, from Lush shop, may be a tad overwhelming for some or maybe most people, including me. However, after you have stepped into the shop, your senses will be amazed by the products in the shop. Ever tried soaps that look like jellies and puddings? They have it all. I love their lip balms to bits!

I bought this mask in Sydney months ago and i love it~ choked with loads of blueberries!


Captain is in Melbourne right now and he has promised to help me buy Cupcake, a face mask with the goodness of chocolate that aids in cleansing and purifying the skin, besides that i will be getting Ring of Roses, a buttercream soap with only 20% soap and 80% of essential oils and moisturisers...this is one of their best selling product. Lush is a big hit in Lush as well, where local marketing plays a great part in helping the brand to gain and maintain a firm stand in the Japanese market. All of Lush products packaging in Japan are in Japanese and there are so many products that one can find exclusively in Japan. I am going to Japan in late March with Captain so i might be getting some Japanese Lush products too. There will be a never ending shopping list for facial care products when i go to Japan.....and i am definitely getting the Shiseido Collagen drink again:)

Singapore Airlines Calendar for 2009...a bit late but it is alright...the colours look more intense than last year's calendar. I am taking a picture of it to practise some photography with the aperture mode...

Crabmeat soup with dried scallops and pumpkin paste, this picture is a bit blurry as my hands were trembling in hunger.....:)

Steamed fish...the fish was fresh and tender


Desserts on deck 12...these hazelnut chocolate cakes were hard to resist...how can i resist temptations?
