tingly
I’ve been getting complaints that I don’t blog often enough. Friends got tired of reading the same beauty product post (which by the way is really good, so remember to buy!) and want something new.
Well, I’ve been really busy lately and believe me it was a really eventful month. One of the worst I would say. But everything is good now so here I am revealing my latest project!
tingly.sg
Yes! You may have already heard that I registered a business, afterwhich I claimed my FOC SME domain name! And yes! tingly is not just the name of the website, it’s the name of the company too! Heh heh.
Please check out the website and leave me a note/feedback/comment. It still looks really bare, but I’ll fill it up soon! With the new website, I’ll probably close this one down or save it for more personal thoughts. Anyhoos, I’ll be more active there for the time being, so if you miss my bullshit, go to tingly!
And don’t forget to give leave comments and feedback!!!
After many bad days…
…all it takes is for one lovely song to make it all a little better. Bad video, but nice song!
Kanga Organics
I’m no beauty expert. I used to wash my face with whatever that’s by the sink and only buy makeup with pretty packaging. Of course, all these changed after my terrible breakout last year. For those whom met me during that period of time, you know what I mean. I now stick to trusty Dermologica, religiously go for facials and try to use mineral makeup (I’m convinced it’s better for the skin though it’s not scientifically proven).
Now, if there’s someone who knows beauty products, it’s Joey, a dear friend and ex colleague. To start off with, Joey has porcelain skin, the poreless kind that barely needs any coverage. She also has a stringent public beauty routine which includes hand cream, lip balm, oil blotters, basically anything that can be carried around. Pharmacies are her soft spot, while stationery shops are mine – we always end up purchasing something.
At some point of time during her beauty products chase, Joey decided to limit her selections to brands that were against animal testing. This led her to discovering organic products and mind you, they’re officially certified organic and certified animal cruelty free products, not just those that claim to be. Realising the lack of organic skin products in Singapore, Kanga Organics was born. They now carry 2 brands namely Skin Blossom and Ola Hawaii from the UK and Hawaii respectively.
I decided to 捧场 and try the Ola Hawaii Passion Fruit Citrus Pacific Salt Scrub. Here’s what I think!
Unlike most scrubs I’ve seen which comes in a textured cream form, this one is a full jammed packed 2-inch thick of pure skin scrubbing salt, soaked in organic Lehua honey. Because of its density, a little goes a long way. For $39.90, it’s very economical!
Breaking the seal of the tub is like pricking the skin of an orange – you can almost immediately smell the strong citrus flavour. Despite its initial strong fragrance, it didn’t leave me walking around like a huge over ripe passion fruit. Just a very subtle citrus smell lingered on my body, which I like. It also left the toilet with a nice smell, great for covering up your tracks (if you know what I mean).
There’s a very thin veil of moisturising oil left after rinsing, so I don’t feel the need to further moisturise my skin. For the non-lazy people, I’m sure the skin will appreciate further quenching.
Overall, I’m really happy with the scrub, I just hope I’ll be diligent in using it so I can say bye bye to my rough elbows and knees. Check out the other products at http://www.kangaorganics.com
I get this too.
Now, iPhone? Or Blackberry?
It would’ve been dope…
RIP MJ.
Lomo has company!
Yup! My darling boyfriend has bought some friends for the lomo lca he bought for me last Christmas! Yipppeeee~!
It’s my 2nd and 3rd birthday present from him! 1st being The Sims 3 (which is getting kinda boring btw). He also made us a nice picnic dinner at East Coast Park on the evening of my birthday. Very nice.
Introducing Coloursplash Flash and L-Case!
Night photography, here I come! And while I’m at it, there’ll be no more scratches! Ok, fine. Not that many scratches!
It’s so spiffy! And just in case you’re wondering if I’d already destroyed the brand new flash…
…I hadn’t! It’s the ‘design’ of the limited edition version. It has a print of a bird and a splat of bird shit! Cool!!!
Thank you darling! I love you! And trust me, your money’s put to good use.
Now, if I can just find time to upload the other photos…
Hairdos
I don’t know about you, but I’ve always had a problem with friends not recognising me after not seeing me for a long time. More often than not, they blame it on my new hairstyle. Do I really look so different? I’ve had many different hairstyles, but my face is still the same isn’t it? Because of this, I’ve compiled all my different hairdos and I wanna share it with you! Tell me which one you prefer!!!
Let’s start off with some of the earliest ones:
The ‘ugly-duckling‘ look. But remember, she turns into a swan! Alternatively, I call this the ‘how-the-hell-did-it-get-into-facebook‘ look.
The ‘Mohawk‘ look. Finally, looking quite decent.
The ‘I-cut-my-own-fringe‘ look, which comes in both short and long version.
The ‘on-production‘ look, which means I tie up whatever I can, usually resulting in a small broom.
The ‘side-swept’ look, which is something I do all the time when my hair grows long and I don’t know what to do with it. This picture is titled ‘The amazing twisty ankle woman’.
At its worst, it’s the ‘I-can’t-tell-she’s-a-woman-if-not-for-her-boobs‘ look. It’s okay, coz I was about to shave it off anyway.
The ‘Super-bald‘ look. I chose this shot so you don’t forget what my tattoo looks like!
Next up the ‘Dyeing-hair-but-act-Victorian-age‘ look. This leads to…
The ‘Bai-fa-mo-nu‘ look. During Chinese New Year, it became…
The ‘Fiery-red-Quan-Yi-Feng‘ look. Incidentally, posing with an Aunt who some claim looks like her too.
Then came the ‘I-don’t-know-what-colour-it-is-anymore‘ look, and as you can tell, I’m still putting sunblock for the crew during production.
A longer and hairband version of ‘I-don’t-know-what-colour-it-is-anymore‘ look. Sick of not knowing what colour’s on my head, I cropped it off into…
‘Ultra-short-must-put-makeup-to-look-good‘ look. If I don’t put makeup on, I look like I just came out from prison. The same applies to ‘Super-bald‘ look. From here onwards, I grew my hair out to…
‘I-thought-my-long-hair-very-nice-but-it-sucked‘ look. Seriously, I have no idea how to maintain long hair. All the split ends and flyaways were quite crazy. But at least I can do this…
‘Can-go-hairstylist-bun-hair‘ look. And this…
The ‘curry-pok‘ look. My best friend often ask me what’s the flavour of the day. It varies from sardine to curry chicken.
I’m currently holding this look called ‘You-probably-can’t-tell-it’s-a-lopsided-bob‘. I like it very much!
If you’ve successfully endured my narcissism, what do you think? Which one do you like best? I’m curious to know!
And totally not related to this post, can I just say that I like Jay Chou very much!
What’s up?
Of late, I’ve been dating my computer. I’ve been spending both time and money on her, in hope that she’ll treat me well when I need her to.
I’ve been offered 2 freelance jobs since my resignation (1 on a monthly basis), so it isn’t as bad as I thought. Also, I’ve signed myself up for 2 months of gruesome work in Chris Yeo’s feature film ‘In The House Of Straw’. He’s not a friend, he’s a sibling! I say sibling coz I can’t determine if he’s a brudder or a sista. So, no more brain deadness plans for me. I seem to be more busy than when I was full-timing. I guess this is what happens when you start taking full responsibilities for yourself instead of seeking shelter under some company with a damaged roof.
Also, I’ve been able to indulge in listening to music on shuffle in itunes, something I stopped doing when I started started full-timing. It’s such an understated joy, especially when you’re surprised by a long lost song. And this is one that crept up on me and it never fails to perk me up, hopefully it works on you too! It’s called ‘Papaya Mango” sung by the very elegant Shiina Ringo.
