Breathing

I’m currently in Singapore for work and whenever I stay at a hotel, my neck starts to hurt.  I’ve been having issues with pain around my neck and shoulders for years.  It is due to the stress at work and my bad posture at my desk (ie., when I sit for long periods of time, I can’t help but slouch forward). In last few months, it has become so bad that I get headaches and pain along my left arms….

Contour My Fat Face?

Contour My Fat Face?

About eight years ago, I used to go to a famous hairstylist in Hong Kong. He was expensive but now that he is really really famous, he is ridiculously expensive so I no longer go to him. The last time I saw him, he was talking about the difference in the way Asian women and Caucasian women age. He said that Asian women’s face get fatter whereas Caucasian women’s face get thinner. The Caucasian women lose a lot of fat…

Don’t Forget the Sunscreen

Don’t Forget the Sunscreen

My sister got married in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, on December 21st. The weather was perfect — sunny, warm and bright.

How do you feel about that?” First of all, have they never heard of destination weddings? Secondly, he is not Mexican, but even if…

Pearly White Teeth

Pearly White Teeth

When I was younger, I would always have cavities — a lot of them. What can I say … I loved candy, chocolates, anything sweet! I was traumatized by my childhood experiences of going through the painful drilling and filling. I still have nightmares. So as a responsible adult, I REALLY take care of my teeth because I hate going to the dentist — e.g., brush three times a day, floss twice a day, go get my teeth cleaned twice…

Pass the Baton

Pass the Baton

Yesterday, someone asked me why I started my blog. I told her that I started it because I am one of those people who like to try everything, so I figured rather than having all my friends go through the same pain of having to try every product and gadget out there, they can just see what I’ve done. One product that I’ve been looking for is the perfect eyeliner — in particular, one with a felt tip that is…
