Windows to Your Soul

When you are in your twenties, you will enter a new phase in life and it's also when your youth will slowly start to disappear if you don't take care of your skin. I admit that when I was in my teens and early twenties, I was such a slob when it comes to beauty routine. But okay until now I still do feel that way but if I were to continue to be absolutely nonchalant about my beauty routine, chances are I won't get my youth back and I will be in my thirties even if I have yet to reach that age group :s Scary sh*t.

Anyway, one of the key things that you just simply must have is moisturizer which you just HAVE to include in your daily routine if you want to continue looking youthful because a dry skin is such a no no. Plus, we are not all blessed with good skin so just suck it up and do something about it before your skin condition gets worse.


But what kind of facial moisturizer is good for you? It really depends on your skin. Like my skin is oily so I have to use one that does not clog my pores. The one that Im using doesn't and it has a brightening effect on my face which is good to me because it makes me less tired looking. But it's a sample product. Otherwise I will be using the tub of facial moisturizer from St Ives. But I can't use much of it or my face will look gunky. At night, I use Garnier Brightening Facial Cream. I know they are not miracle products and it takes a whole lot more than just using the right cream because ultimately, your lifestyle also plays a part.


While we have the moisturizing part down to pat, many of us tend to forget about the eyes. They are right when they say that your eyes are the windows to your soul. Other than that, a pair of tired looking eyes with dark circles and wrinkle lines can be a tad bit scary :S 


Don't we all want nice bright looking eyes like this?



Plus I want to look as beautiful as her but doesn't seem to work..hrmph.


Let me reiterate the fact that a facial moisturizer CANNOT act as a replacement for your eye cream because an eye cream is specially formulated to care for the delicate area around your eyes.



An eye cream is a specially formulated moisturizer that in most cases has been tested as effective to use near the eyes, and that won’t damage the soft tissue around the eyes or cause eye irritation. Many of these creams are made with special ingredients that help either reduce the look of wrinkles around the eyes, provide anti-aging benefits, or help to reduce darker skin tone around the eyes.

But everyone's skin is different so if the products don't work for you but instead causes irritation, I suggest you stop using them and change to one that works for you.


I've done my research and based on your budget, you can make use of this guide to get the right eye cream. See, the things I do for you (^^)


High Range





Mid Range






Low Range







I just bought the last one because you know at this point of time, my budget isn't fantastic but based on reviews, it seems to work. 

You should get an eye cream based on your needs. I agree that it's never too late to start on an anti ageing eye cream but if your problem is dark circles, then it's best you get one that helps to reduce the puffiness around your eyes and lighten the dark circles. Once you have solved this problem, then you can think long term by getting an anti ageing eye cream. Remember to work your way up.


I don't do product reviews because there are plenty of beauty blogs out there that are specially dedicated to help you in your beauty finds. That's where I get to know these products. So now, instead of the usual routine of cleanse, tone and moisturizer, add eye cream to your daily routine too! :D

Birthday Gathering & House Hunting

Last week, I celebrated a friend of mine's belated birthday together with another friend at her condo. Sadly, this would be the last time we would hold the celebration at her place because she has finally managed to sell off her condo unit after one year of looking for a buyer. Mostly we used the swimming pool facilities although the two of us didn't swim at all but just chill under the shade. We brought home cooked food and I really appreciated my friend for doing this for us, thinking about how the young son of a friend of us would love the swimming pool for kids. She is so selfless and kind to her friends and I'm truly blessed to have her in my life.  While one was selling off the house, the other friend was on the verge of getting a dream house for herself and her young son. In life, we have many priorities and things to look forward to. Each of our dreams and aspirations are different from one another, like for me, getting a house is not a priority at the moment.  ...

A Reminder to the Living

Recently, we lost our former President when he passed away at the age of 92. He was known to have his heart for the people although those who worked closely with him couldn't actually picture him as that for he was a taskmaster when it came to work. He did his own narratives and do the best that he could as he knew where he came from and wanted to make good out of his life.  He showed that the circumstances that we are in can't stop us from going far in life. We should continue to focus on our actions, has strong dedication and when things get difficult, look at the bigger picture and understand why we are here. Ultimately, we should all be working towards the purpose we have in mind which makes things easier to cope. Thank you for helping the Singaporeans especially those who needed help most. You would always be the people's President. On the other spectrum, a young child had also lost his life. A few of my colleagues witnessed the events which unfolded in front of...
