I remember seeing my mom in her 40's in pants ALL her life until the time of writing.  She is very conscious of her varicose veins and I wished she would wear more shorts and skirts because she has gorgeous legs!  Perfectly shapes, very flawless --- my sister and I would always tell her that she's got the best pair of legs among us - screw varicose veins but I cannot force my super conservative mom. Growing up with that in mind, I have told myself I'd wear more shorts, skirts and expose my legs as much as I can before I end up having varicose veins!  I do have some on my f ..read more

Possible for me  after this hack and of course, our timings could be different depending on the thickness of your hair and how good you are with sectioning hair and handling heat styling tools!  Key takeaway is to PRACTICE.  Because that is all the investment I did for my hair so I am used to styling my own hair even with eyes....almost CLOSED!  :P All you need are hair ties, a flat iron and a whole lot of skills :P A side profile on how C-curls help you look like you've spent an hour on ..read more

  I love MAC Lipsticks, I have collected them ever since I started Blogging.  I even got my first lipstick (MAC!) in highschool when I reunited with my classmate who immigrated to Canada.   Unfortunately, as much as I love the brand, my favorite shades come in MATTE formulation which looks gorgeous on my clients but doesn't work for my dry lips!  Fastforward to year 2024, when I got an invite for MAC Cosmetics' MACximal Silky Matte lipstick launch, I had to go as it was said that these iconic lipsticks have been maxed out to give lips more with silky matte finish that ..read more
