From Head to Toe

From Head to Toe

My friends are wondering how I have time to even write these blogs, especially when I’m so busy with other stuff.   My answer to this is that I find writing therapeutic.  I have no desire to do this to get free products (like a lot of other bloggers) because I already have tons of creams, makeup, gadgets, etc.   Getting free stuff would take the best part out of all of this, which is shopping for the latest products!…

Nail Art and Hand Cream

Nail Art and Hand Cream

I remember when I was a young associate at a US law firm, I met a female banker who had a reputation for being difficult and demanding, so people called her the “bit@chy” banker (Note:  I have to be careful not to use any profanity because as you know from my previous blog, this website used to be associated with a porn site!). I was young then, so very impressionable and thought that most rumours were true.  I know it…

Bali Essence

Nick and I went to Bali for Chinese New Year.  We have a villa there in Cemagi.  The flight takes about four hours from Hong Kong.  I usually watch a movie, but I’ve travelled so much recently that I have basically seen every movie that they have on their flights.  So on my flight to Bali, I opened the inflight sales magazine and took a look to see if there was anything interesting. As you can guess, I already have…

When Did We Become a “Madame”?

When Did We Become a “Madame”?

I’m so excited because I will shortly be off to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, to attend my sister’s wedding there. I’ve never been to Mexico, so can’t wait. When I tell people that I am going to Mexico for my sister’s wedding, for some reason most of them say, “Wow, is your sister marrying a Mexican? How do you feel about that?” First of all, have they never heard of destination weddings? Secondly, he is not Mexican, but even if…

Snail Cream

Snail Cream

I LOVE this stuff.  In Korea, this is a big hit and as I mentioned in my first blog, I really like the Tony Moly one.  I’ve been using it for six months and it has made an incredible difference in the texture of my skin.  I know, snail slime … gross, but trust me ladies, it really works.  I use it in the morning and in the evening and what I noticed is that my pores are smaller, my face…
