Like what I said on the previous post. CLOTHING IS POWERFUL. Be selective in what you put on your body to portray the correct image. I believe if you project a positive self-image, people will be more likely to see you as a positive, capable person.
Now I have an interesting question =). Should we follow fashion trends? Well In my opinion, everybody should have their own style and a sense of self-awareness before deciding to follow any popular trends. I don’t follow the trend blindly and I don’t stick to one style. Today I can be girly the next day I can be the grunge look street girl =). Further, from a perspective of individuality, everyone has his/her own personality, identity, and preference, which leads to a diverse world. However, this diversity will significantly lose if people follow the same stylish trends and hence choose similar colour and clothing.
Always remember everyone is special in their own way. The mixing up and matching of colors, styles, and material that goes along with searching for new styles is also a fantastic way to harness your creative imagination. In fact, lots of folks express their individuality and uniqueness through their style of dress. So if you haven’t had a chance to try it yet, then you might find that assembling different clothes to fit your personality can be very refreshing.
But to those who love to keep up the fashion trends here’s some trend report:
NEON IS THE NEW BLACK
The trend that is popping out everywhere this season is the NEON fashion trend. Get ready to bring a pop of electric neon color to your wardrobe. It can be fun and can look very chic if worn subtly- just don’t wear it head to toe! Pairing it with neutral colours such as khaki, black, light blue, navy, white or brown can help tone it down. It takes courage to wear neon because you’re guaranteed to be the centre of attention!
IN FULL BLOOM!
You can't really think of spring without thinking of florals. Celebs have all been spotted wearing an abundance of statement floral prints. Whether it’s Lily, daisies, roses, or any other type of foliage, I’m fawning over this season’s photographic and digi-printed blossoms! Now I’m aiming for the perfect floral pants =D.
Statement Necklace is AWESOME!
The chunky statement necklace is a perfect complementary accessory that adds instant glamour to look, whether you’re layering it onto a collared blouse or adding a feminine touch to your worn out, vintage t-shirt. The main key is to keep the rest of your outfit simple.
There actually a lot to talk about =), so just watch out this page for more trend report =)
Besides all prep up and being pretty with the latest fashion trends, we still need to stay healthy and look healthy right? Being in my early 20s, I was lucky that my mom is always very particular with our skin and health. I was given a proper skincare, especially one that has to do with pigmentation. But I have a rather shameful admission to make, It is a confession that would likely shock my beauty-obsessed readers and bring shame upon my household … perhaps that last bit's a tad dramatic, but I just want to really impart upon you how disreputable I believe this admittance to be. I have to admit due to laziness I simply didn't care about my skin. My skin care regimen consists of...washing my face once a day. That's it!
So why am I admitting this dirty little secret? Two reasons: one, I believe I am not alone in this -- I can't be the only woman feeling too busy or lazy to deal with a 12-step skin routine every day, right? And two, I need to learn how to lead a busy life and still take care of my skin. Why am I admitting this dirty little secret? Two reasons:
Intrinsic ageing (internal) and extrinsic (external) ageing. Intrinsic ageing is the natural process, which begins in our 20s. Extrinsic ageing is caused by external factors like the sun and pollution that age the skin prematurely. As we age, everything from collagen production to cell turnover slows down. This results in wrinkles, thin and sagging skin, larger pores and dry skin. Though it starts in your 20s, the signs are usually not visible till you hit 30. So choosing the perfect skin care is important!
As you know I've been using Pure Beauty Pomegranate range for the past few weeks. I have to say I love these products! I found the Pomegranate 2 in 1 foam cleanser makes a good cleanser. My skin was already looking much brighter immediately after the facial. It was great!
used a kidney bean size and foamed it and washed my face.
After I cleansed my face, I dropped a few drops of the toner onto a cotton pad and gently smooth it all over my face. I always feel that it very important to use a toner as it not only helps to brighten and tone my skin, it also helps to remove any remaining impurities from the skin.
My favourite product in the range is the Pomegranate Antioxidant Essence. Upon contact with the skin, essence just melts into it creating a soothing veil around the face. It made my skin both soft and supple. It baths the skin with hydration the whole day. I do notice a difference on my skin after using it for 2 weeks.
use the Pomegranate Antioxidant Facial Mask once a week. The mellow scent of fruit complete the whole experience and helps me relax at night. My skin is intensively hydrated, lifted the next morning.
The eye cream does not feel oily at all, in fact it absorbs very well into the skin. I like the fact that the pomegranate extract helps in hydrating the eye area.
Now that I’ve used it for 3 weeks, the lines have greatly diminished and my skin looks radiant, brighter and well hydrated. But I’m telling you that do not take my word for it, try it out for a month and see the results for yourself. =)
I guess now you probably know alot about the Pure Beauty Pomegranate range but have you heard about the latest range? The Pure Beauty Youth Restore with Black Pearl Skin Care line. This range of products was created to specially combat the 1st sign of aging, helps to diminish dark spots and pigmentation. It also reduce fine lines, boost elasticity and revitalize our skin stem cells. One more thing I have to add is that advanced nano technology was used to create the products!
Well the good news is Black pearl is out in Watson store, Keep a look out!!! Oh yea and not to forget on the 2nd of June Fish Leong The ambassador of Pure Beauty will be appearing in both Kinta City ( 12:00pm) and Sg Wang ( 5:30pm). Remember to mark ya calendar for June 2nd~ =)

I personally think that style is important, the way a person dresses can affect a person's self image and affect how others will treat them. Dressing appropriately is very important in any occasion. You’ll be surprise that People do judge others by the way they dress. You are what you wear. Clothing gives people an identity, changes moods and influences behaviour and attitude. When you get right down to it, clothing is powerful. Be selective in what you put on your body to portray the correct image. I believe if you project a positive self-image, people will be more likely to see you as a positive, capable person.
Do you know what your clothes say about you? In the business world, those who project a Total Image often pass by others—regardless of who has the stronger skills. Successful people know that a Total Image makes them appear credible and polished to those around them. Let your inner beauty shine. Your image is the first thing people see. It should reflect the best of you.
I know there’s a big question popping up HOW TO DRESS UP CONFIDENTLY. Well, no worries because I will create the look and style you desire, while making sure you stay comfortable in your own skin. This is the time to unlock your confidence by looking and feeling radiantly beautiful inside and, out. .

If you notice all these looks, I always wearing heels I’m not a six foot tall model, for me, it’s really all about high heels. I love to wear heels and it’s a must to have a good pair of black pumps. Black pumps go with everything, they won’t get too dirty, and they can also go from day to night.
Besides, learning how to dress confidently, you have to learn how to accessorize and enhance your look...I’m sure everyone have a timeless accessories. My timeless accessories would be my Rado Vintage watch. My dad gave this old timepiece to me as a birthday gift. I’ve always loved the look of Rado watches and was so excited to finally have my own. It’s waterproof, dainty and feminine. Exactly what I look for in a watch!

Cleanser:
What’s interesting about this foam cleanser is it has dual function. It could be used as a daily cleanser, and also a mask!! Amazing huh~ the 2-in-Foam Cleanser contains a natural complex of fruit and herbal extracts that gently de-stresses skin, unclogs pores and detoxifies to leave skin energized and refreshed.
Toner:
I’m always lazy to put on Toner. Maybe because of the packaging, but the Pomegranate Antioxidant Toner Packaging makes it so much easier to apply. Just pump a generous amount and pat on your skin. The Toner actually works like a lotion.
Essence:
Next is the Essence, Gosh I’m loving this Essence, Do you know that Essence is very important for your skin. It’s like the hero of all products. When I put it on my skin. I can feel that my skin is moisturizing, soft and smooth. The texture of my skin looks instantly velvety.
Eye Cream:
Now is the Eye Cream! Pomegranate Antioxidant Eye Cream is perfect for mature skin. It evens out the surface of the skin and makes it softer and smoother. It contains pomegranate seed oil, which is rich in antioxidants and protects the skin from the elements. Hopefully the lines and wrinkles around my eyes become less apparent =).
Facial Mask:
The facial Mask feels so good on my face. This stuff is COOL, as in, cools your skin and pores so much; it kinda feels like you stuck your face into a snow bank! I'm telling you the truth here! Face freeze! Pomegranate Antioxidant Mask provides instant, intensive smoothing and hydrating benefits. If you have dry, combination or only slightly oily skin, the Pomegranate Facial Mask is a wonderful choice.

Last week I was invited to Heineken 'The Art of Pouring' workshop conducted by Franck Evers Heineken beer craftman. I didn't know that pouring a pint of beer can be an art form. All I know beer is the world's oldest and most popular alcoholic beverage, and as such. needs to be enjoyed properly. A nice icy cold beer always does miracles at the end of a stressful day but have you actually thought of what makes a perfect pint?
Pouring beer may sound like a very simple task, But It's not as easy as it seems. I was trained to pour a perfect pint of beer from the bottle when I was working as a hostess. I remember this customer make me pour so many bottles of beer in front of him. I guess that's the happiest day for the boss =D~ but pouring a pint of perfect beer from the draft...hmm I don't think I can do it.
It definitely was an interesting session as Franck began explaining the essential steps that goes into pouring a perfect pint of beer; he also talked about the common mistakes people make when pouring a pint of beer and how they may be corrected. Besides that, he also spent time discussing service standards and the role it plays in providing consumers with the perfect drinking experience.
Jasmine Foong, Marketing Manager of Heineken Malaysia explains, "The Art of Pouring workshop reflects Heineken's promise of quality. Franck's expertise is invaluable and through this workshop, he brings the art of pouring of a pint of Heineken in Malaysia to perfection level. Through our various campaigns, we hope consumers will be able to immerse themselves in the ultimate Heineken experience every time they enjoy a pint of Heineken, one that is shared by millions of fans throughout the world."
Franck Evers also spoke his experience, "There is a real ritual to pouring a perfect pint of beer, in fact, it is an art form. I'm very happy to have been given the chance to travel to Malaysia to showcase the art of pouring. Through these workshop, I hope consumers here will be able to enjoy the ultimate Heineken experience with every pint."
Frank gave some tips on how to pour a perfect pint of Heineken and a short demo. He then invited some participant to try it.
Here's the four steps to pouring the perfect Heineken:
1. Rinse - Rinse the glass in cold water before serving. And never dry with towel as it leaves fibers behind.
2. Pour - Pull the beer tap in one quick motion. Let the build up of carbon dioxide escape, angle. Then close tap in a quick motion when the foam reaches the top of the glass.
3. Skim - Remove excess foam with a wet skimmer held at a 45-degree angle. This leaves a thin layer of water over the foam which protects in from oxidizing. A perfect two-finger thick head of foam ensures that the beer stays fresh and cold for longer keeping it from going flat.
4. Serve - Serve your customers quickly and with a smile. Present their Heineken in a Heineken branded glass, held at the bottom with the logo facing them.
Now this is what we call a perfect pint of Heineken! Frack make it look so much easier.
Thankfully those who were interested in testing out their beer pouring skills had a chance to do so.
Tian Chad was the 1st to try it out~
Then Dusty turn.
My turn trying out my hands on pouring a perfect pint of Heineken!
I failed the first time and had way too much foam in my beer but after getting used to the angle and speed of the pour I got it right on my second try. Yayy!
I had so much fun with the other blogers that night~
Loving the atmosphere, people and food.
It was definitely a great night!
