10 things you need to get done before CNY!

Here's what.

Many of us dread the idea of spring cleaning. The image of hair bunned up, sweat dripping, hands in glove...well isn't all that pretty. And the grey (y my fave color?! =_=) dust that's flying around as u wipe cause u to sneeze nonstop doesn't help as well.

U know what??

The idea & image aren't that pretty..yes, given that u just think about it. Thinking is the hardest part. & of cos u r thinking the actual process of work itself!
However if u think of the end result- ur room clean, free of dust, well organised, spick & span, smelling good - may be a better encouraging image!
Try that!
I picture myself with lesser stuffs stuffing my drawers, boxes, cupboards, cabinet, wardrobe, I felt so driven to get to it!
So I put on my mask, took some plastic bags & get to work!

Right! So 10 things to do before cny!

1) Clean the room
2) Donate some clothes
3) Reorganize wardrobe
4) Clean the table
5) Throw away unnecesary papers & mags
6) Review ur files in thumbdrive, hardisk drive & laptop
7) Paint the room & living room
8) Wash laundry
9) Repay ur debts
10) Discard expired makeup & skincare

Do at least these & have an awesome rocking new year, luve!

Burlesque goes on...

Some people say 2010 was a year of Burlesque.

Like its for Dita Von Teese.

Christina Aguilera's latest debut movie "Burlesque" starring also Cher, where she steps into the City of Dreams, LA. One day, she stumbled upon a Burlesque bar and performance was on. Immediately she was mesmerised and her heart is flying out to meet it. She wants to be a burlesque! She knew that is her destiny. To express.



Smashbox collaborates with Sony Pictures to create Smashbox Burlesque collection launched in Jan 2011.

Beauty university

Hihi babes!
It's a drizzy day with the sprinkle down since 6pm. If u noe me, u noe Nice chilly weather is to my liking!!!

And I like to say this to everybody i meet...

...if I have the power to control the education system, I will delete "Literature" AND put in "Beauty School" as a COMPULSORY module in high school/college/ polytechnics & universities!

Or perhaps added into our ART classes!!! ;) good idea eh?
I wld Luve to be a school teacher then.
Draw on paper
Draw on faces
Draw on wood
Draw on canvas
FUN FUN FUN!!!

Geography/ literature has given me no direction/meaning in my career or life...srsly.

In the module, I will teach you all the makeup fantasies you ever have secretly or openly!
Makeup has no boundaries. Leave it to the widest imagination & possibilities and let them unravel its beauty before you. Sooner or later, you will be hooked to the feelings of being prettier and people want to talk to you more than before!


As Nathan Johnson (ANTM) famously said,

"I think makeup should be taught to women in high school. So many ladies have no idea what to do with color. They apply it wrong, or stick to the same 3 colors or worst 1 color for their entire life!! "

I totally agree hands & feet!!!

Unsettling for me to look into a weirdly made up face or a blank unmade face. I cant help but stare.

Yesterday I was at Watsons to get mosquito patch and I asked a girl for help in the crowded shopat far east. She looked up & scared the whole wits out of me! She has 2 wiry thin as cockroach legs, black brows almost going to meet in the centre!
I wish I could tell her & help her.

Girls, what u prefer?
Q: Would u like ppl to tell u nicely when ur brows (or anywhere) looook like cockroach legs OR not at all cos u'll be hurt?

I would luve an answer.
