If you have been following my blog or social media for a while, you would notice I have a thing for Swarovski. I mean the brand is super affordable and yet luxurious. You don't have to break the bank to cop many of their pieces. And also I like the fact their diamonds are ethically sourced-lab grown. I don't have to worry about it being a conflict or blood diamond.  Last week, I went shopping at Dubai mall. I had a specific design in mind. But i ended up getting something else. I got the Attract Watch, the Angelic bracelet and Constella ring, all in silver. I only wear silver jewellery so it's just easy to go for it. I would probably get a matching necklace for the set later on. You can get the set here: Constella Ring Attract Watch Angelic Bracelet

My favourite part of the year will always be Christmas. There is something about this season that's just so different from every other season of celebration. The feeling is different. The vibe is infectious. Of course for some people, it can be a mix of emotions. For me too it can be a mixed feeling. But the dominant feeling is happiness. 2022 has been a roller coaster of ups and downs. But in all, I feel a sense of gratitude so far. Wishing you all a merry Happy Christmas 🎄.  Silver.

  I first came across The Ordinary product 2 years ago randomly on YouTube. Recently, I had a skin consultation at Skin Laundry in Marina. The Beautician recommended some Skin Laundry products. After using the products, I noticed an instant improvement on my skin. The products were super pricey, so I went online trying to find a good brand which was cost effective. My search led me to The Ordinary. I wanted something with Hyaluronic acid, Vitamin C and Retinol, which were some of the ingredients in the Skin Laundry products. I started with The Ordinary toner, Hyaluronic acid, Vitamin C, Retinol, Lactic acid. So far, the products have been working well except the Lactic acid i had to discontinue because the top of my nose itches me whenever I use it. Overall, I would recommend the brand. Their products are effective and super affordable.

    This is one topic I like to talk about. Personal hygiene is a big deal for me. Body odour is like a stigma. When you smell so bad, people would not want to be around you. It can be so embarrassing that your close friends are just not bold enough to tell you how bad you smell.  There are several reasons why people smell bad. It could be excessive sweating, diet, lack of proper personal hygiene or genetics. If you fall in the last category and still have bad odour, then it's time to see a doctor. Most people may have no idea that their personal scent doesn't smell good.
