Rice is the new Potato

Advertorial

I'm a night owl, so I normally wake up between 3-5pm. Then I'd wait for Mike to come home, and we'd go eat his dinner and my lunch (I skip breakfast).

Then every night, at about say 2am, I'd start to feel hungry again.

But more often than not, THERE IS NO FOOD AT HOME!! Well either no food or I'm too lazy to cook whatever is in the fridge.

And I'd start to do crazy things when I'm delirious with hunger.

For example...

Open and close the fridge door despite being disappointed 1,670 times.
The only thing that grew in the fridge is probably mold.

I'm sure many of you do this!!!

Then I'd try to convince myself that I'm not feeling hungry at all. And that the pangs and salivating just means I'm like cold or something.

Then, subconsciously, I'd start biting my nails.

I think that's coz my body thinks that eating bits of dead skin is better than eating nothing at all.

Unbeknownst to my body I'm actually eating bits of French gel, so that shouldn't be good at all.

Still I'd be hungry, so I'd try extreme methods to curb my hunger:

No, it doesn't work. Still hungry! Roar!!

Method 2: Distract myself by doing small-talk with myself




Ok that doesn't work either.

Method 3: Distract myself by pretending I'm a movie star



And belting out relevant soundtracks. AND ALL THAT JAZZ!!

I bet Catherine Zeta Jones never feels hungry!!

After a while more I'd start contemplating eating everything.

For example, would this stuffed rabbit taste nice sauteed lightly with butter and asparagus? Would about this boot? Maybe it would be ok-tasting if I boil it with some chicken stock.

After a while I'd realise that these household objects will not be yummy.

Then I would....

BITE MIKE!!!!!!!!!!

FHL hahahha!! But yummy as he is, he doesn't satisfy hungry coz my teeth are not sharp enough to eat him. How do cannibals do it??


But not to fret... Now I have a new and mega easy HUNGER SOLUTION!!!


Presenting...

Brand new Rice Crisps by Mister Potato!!

Made with a secret combination of potatoes and rice for a light crispy snack that will satisfy any hunger cravings!

YUMMEH!!

Being Asian, I obviously LOVE rice. And now I can haz rice with my potato chips, making it even healthier!

I was totally surprised when I bit into the chip... It tastes almost exactly like normal potato chips but just that little something is different. Like the aftertaste is sweeter or stronger or something. My favourite is the Sour Cream and Onion!!

Actually I got given 4 canisters of these chips but within 2 days 2 cans are finished already by my friends who came over for mahjong -_- They said it's really nice.

But it's ok to munch on these chips, coz the Rice Crisps have/are:

No Added MSG

No artificial colouring

Cholestrol and trans fat free

20% less fat than conventional fried potato chips yet taste just as delicious

First of its kind in Singapore

And an awesome alternative to other snacks!

Comes in four flavours too!!

And even can eat it on the go since it comes with these handy aluminium canisters. :D

Hello!!!


I love camwhoring! Why not? Only young once so much take more, more, more photos! And if those photos are chio it's a great way to get attention online! After our online personality is more and more important nowadays so it's smart to put your best face forward :D

Obviously make up is a super important element in snapping super chio photos so today I'm gonna show ya all how I put on make up!

If you think it's excessive or whatever please, click this page away. You may not appreciate it but other people might, so why spoil the fun for others? It's like going to some vegetarian recipe webpage and posting "EWWW WHY NO MEAT ONE IT'S SO GROSS MOCK MEAT IS JUST FLOUR YOU ARE AN IDIOT OF A CHEF PLEASE POST A REAL RECIPE NEXT TIME."

Like what's your point? You wanna see meat recipes? Go to a relevant webpage. You wanna see simple, natural make up? THIS IS NOT THE URL FOR IT.

Back to the topic: I think the last time I did a make up post was back in 2005... Super long ago.

So this is my "no make-up" picture.

Fresh after a bath. As explained in the photo, I couldn't remove my lash extensions... And obviously it's photoshopped... But hey, I left my moles on!

Step 1: PUT IN CONTACTS! Uber important, do not neglect this step!

Step 2 is to apply 2-way cake foundation! I've been using ZA's foundation all my life. Another great brand is Revlon's colorstay liquid foundation with SoftFlex technology... Because of its LONGEVITY! It really really won't come off for the whole day! However, the colours are not that nice so I apply ZA on top of it.

Notice I put foundation on my lips. This is to conceal any inconsistency in lip colour before I apply lipstick. Important also!!

After drawing brows and putting on Bronzer!!

My brow pencil is dunno what brand from Japan and my bronzer is from Victoria's secret.

I'm in love with bronzer recently! It really gives you a healthy glow!

And I used my eyebrow pencil to shade my nose bridge also!

Sorry there are no photos of me actually doing the make up coz it's very hard to snap yourself doing make up... You ownself imagine lah hor.

This is after eye make up...

White highlighter eyeshadow all over, brown eyeshadow to enhance the double eyelids, and a thin line of liquid brown eyeliner (mine is $4.90 from Aries) to line the eyes.

At this point you make apply falsies if you don't have extensions like me.

Also, stuck on lower lashes, and put some MAC glitter on the inner eye corners! :D

And here's what I meant by brown eyeshadow to exhance the double eyelids.

After blusher, lipstick + gloss and a hair bow! Tadah!!

For blusher any pink toned blusher will do. Lipstick: Mac's "Honeylove" as a base, Chanel hot pink gloss on top.

More camwhoring shots!

LOL...

Wondering why I'm posting all these make up tips? Coz I'm very NICE ok! I'm trying to help you WIN AN AWESOME CONTEST!!!

The CamQueen of the Year contest!!

Very simple one!! Participants just need to create a profile and upload two photos of themselves... One BEFORE photo and one AFTER photo!!

Before and after what? Make up, of course!

Just to illustrate, here's a video of one of the contestants...



Erm... She is quite... unique. But don't worry you don't need to take video, photo can already!

And the prizes... Oh so generous!

CamQueen of the Year will win $5,000!!!!

This will be chosen by a panel of judges.

There will another prize of $1,000 for the People's Choice Award... For the babe who manages to get the most people to "like" their picture!!


But of course, somebody generous must be sponsoring the prizes right!!? And that someone is YOU.C1000!!

I'm sure you have seen You.c1000 drinks in our local supermarket/convenience stores before. I love it! Even though it's in a smallish bottle, it is SUPER GAO (I have no idea how to translate this I suppose the closest is 'thick) and very very fizzy and the strong lemony flavour immediately perks you up!

And not only is it yummy, most importantly of all it's chockful of Vitamin C!! 1000mg in the bottle!

I suppose that's why it's called "C" 1000... Just in case you don't know how much vitamin C that is, our recommended intake of Vitamin C per day is 250mg to 4,000mg! Your body doesn't manufacture or store excess Vitamin C, so obviously it's better to get more Vitamin C goodness daily! And I've been reading reviews and loads of people said they felt better after drinking this when they are ill. :)

Plus Vitamin C is totally anti-aging!! Super important for me!!

Also comes in orange flavour and bigger bottles of isotonic drinks!

So back to the topic:

JOIN NOW!!

CamQueen of the Year!

Good luck!!

p/s: There are already 350 participants before I even posted this blog entry... Wah it's getting so much traction!! Even got well-known bloggers taking part! Some of the before and after shots have really drastic differences so you can just go look-see even if you don't wanna take part. Very interesting!

For c1000

This is without any make up except for eyelash extensions, which I couldn't remove since they are semi permanent.



Put in coloured contacts and applying two-way cake foundation.

Tip 1: Contacts make a huge difference to eyes so you should always wear them!! Check the diameter before buying, anything more than 14.5 enlarges your irises!

Tip 2: I apply foundation on my lips so as to conceal any unevenness in colour before applying lipstick.



This is after drawing eyebrows and applying bronzer

Tip 3: When drawing eyebrows you can use the pencil to shade your nose bridge, like I did. Just remember to smudge it out so it looks natural!

Tip 4: Bronzer helps give a healthy glow! I love it!



Eye make up done!! Put on brown liquid eyeliner, a white highlighter eyeshadow, and stuck on lower eyelashes. Also added some glitter liner under the eyes for the striking effect!

Tip 5: Lower lashes instantly makes you look for dolly! In Japan now the trend to stick them a little apart from your real lashes at the eye ends, so it gives you smiley, kind-looking eyes.



This is how the eye make up looks, really simple.



After applying blusher and lip colour. Used a pink tone blusher and for lips, first applied a light pale pink all over, then a darker pink gloss focusing on the center of the lips.

Ways to get back your long, lustrous hair!

Advertorial

Hello!! I am here to give you tips on
how to make your hair chioer!!!!

The questions I get asked the most in real life are ALWAYS related to my hair. Is it real? How do you bleach it? How come it's so long and still quite healthy?

I'm totally happy with my hair now because DESPITE being bleached every single month, it is HEALTHIER than it was when I had brown hair!! It's totally shiny and I'm in love with it!! Of course, it's not perfect - but I've never met another bleached blonde who has longer and shinier hair than me! If you wanna know why my hair is so well-nourished...



It's all about caring for the last 15cm!


Q: Why is caring for the last 15cm so important?


A: Coz there is no need to trim your hair anymore!

Let's face it... Most of us girls want super healthy luscious long locks because it compliments the female form the best!

Long swishy hair is super sexy!

However... Most of us resort to regular trimming to get healthy hair ends. The end result? We can't get the long hair we want and it keeps remaining at an annoying shoulder length.

So if you have taken good care of your hair ends, your hair will not need to be trimmed anymore, and you can get the hair length you've always desired!

Qns: Why does the last 15cm need more care then?

Ans no. 1: Your hair ends are senior citizens!

Hair grows at 1.25cm per month, which means it takes 1 year to grow a full 15cm!!

So imagine if you have shoulder-length hair, your hair ends should be about 2 years older than your roots.

Since I have waist length hair I think my ends are about 4-5 years old!!

Maybe I should bake my hair ends a cake.


Ans no. 2: The last 15 cm is pretty much burnt from tonging!



Flat irons or curling tongs usually go up to about 175 degrees.

This is the same temperature used by our clothes dryer to wring out moisture from wet laundry!! Super hot lah!!

So of course this will lead to hair damage!

Compared to hair at your crown, your hair ends have been through a lot!  They are the oldest and have been 'tormented' the most by various hair procedures such as dyeing, tonging or perming.

Hair fact of life: Hair "processing" takes up 60% of a year!

Females in general spend an average of about 2 hours a week just washing, blow drying and styling their hair. Erm, I think this seems inaccurate coz I think I spend a lot more than 2 hours a week wtf.

Anyway, if that statistic is right for you, it means by the time we reach 65, we'd have spent more than 7 months of our lives on HAIR!!!



Giving equal care and attention to your roots and ends simply won't work because your hair ends need so much more attention!! If you wish to maintain or grow out your hair, special care is needed for those fragile ends.

There is a hair care range made
specially for the last 15 cm! ;)

And it's ESSENTIAL DAMAGE CARE!!

If it's able to repair the most damaged 15 cm, it is definitely good enough for the rest of your hair ;)

Shampoo and conditioning everyday is not enough! For advance care treatment options, be sure to put on the Hair Mask and Hair Essense!

To use the hair mask, be sure to apply an appropriate amount on hair ends after shampooing, and rinse off thoroughly! I try to use it at least twice a week :)

As for Hair Essense, I'm freaking in love with the Rich Premier Lotion coz it really really untangles my hair and makes it baby soft! The serum, of course, smoothens out frizz and adds glamourous shine :D

Real easy to use too, just apply on damp or dry hair and watch the products do their thing. Somemore they are totally affordable!

Let's get pretty hair!!!

Essential's range is easily available at supermarkets and drugstores in Singapore. And affordable too!!
