女人Update

嗯⋯⋯是的！

我把头发染深了颜色。虽然刚出来的效果真是黑得让我无法接受。
不过后来跟发型师商讨了以后，她总算把颜色恢复为原来的深棕色。
虽然灯光下隐隐约约还是看得出那一塌一塌的深棕色，不过我想她应该已经尽力了⋯⋯

刚开始的时候，我对这头深棕色感觉有点小陌生。是我维持了金发色太久的关系吗？
两种颜色，两种不一样的感觉，我应该会比较喜欢自己头发浅色一点，你呢？

⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯血拼分割钱⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯

上午的时候，原本有约在身，要做Facial。
出门的时候，想到即使化了妆最后还是要被卸掉的，所以干脆不化就这样素颜出门了。
而且原本也很单纯的打算做完Facial 后就马上回家，路途上应该没什么机会碰到认识的人。

怎么知道后来突然心痒痒想跑一转服饰店去看看！毕竟换季的时候特别多折扣，于是我找个借口说进去看看而已，看看而已⋯⋯ 不用多，真的十分钟就好。结果我的十分钟一下子就变成了一个多小时，而且那小个多小时都待在同一家服侍店里。

我说女人啊⋯⋯ 还真是死性难改啊。
我是怎么陶醉得完完全全忘了自己素颜这回事啊⋯⋯？

因为春季的关系，店里大部分的衣物都是以超鲜豔的粉红色、黄色与橘色为主。
而且有碎花图案的上衣和裙子特别多！店里几乎每一件衣物我都很喜欢！

像这件奶白色的外套，我超喜欢它的线条，想穿formal又行，想穿casual也ok！
橘色那件外套颜色好猛好sharp，喜欢它的时尚风格，所以两件外套连想都不想都买下来了。

除此之外，我也买了春季和夏季都能穿的轻便上衣⋯⋯ 还有一件黑色亮片斜肩连身裙。

当女人真好啊⋯⋯ 偶尔宠一宠自己是应该的嘛！

 ^_______^

接下来的日子因为要筹备圣诞节的来临，所以可能忙得不可开交。

希望工作一切顺利，加油加油！

有鹤到访

在我们这里，飞禽走兽的突然出现，就犹如平日里看到乌鸦一般，早已司空见惯。

只是我这个村姑大惊小怪，就⋯⋯ 什么都想拍就是了。

I ♥ Drug Store Products

Hi hi... It has been more than a week since my disappearance - probably the longest time I have been away since I started on this blog. I have been working like a trojan and barely had time to rest, let alone blogging. So this is going to be just a quick post to share some of my favourite lines at a drug store level.

#1 Schwarkopf Daily Oil Elixir is yet another product on the market with argan oil as an ingredient. I got this as a freebie from the company and some expert told me that it can be used on towel dried, fully dried or freshly styled hair although it seems to go farther on towel dried hair.

#2 Natio Facial and Exfoliating Scrub is fragrance free and carries only a faint hint of almond scent. The micro beads makes deep cleansing especially around contour area a lot easier. It is one of my most favourite products for use during winter time.

#3 Neutrogena Eye Makeup Remover remains as my favourite eye make up remover. It dissolves all traces of make up effectively but what distinguishes it from other brands is it leaves no greasy residue on skin. Believe it or not, I actually like this better than Clarins!

#4 Witch Hazel Solution was introduced to me by a friend who is a big fan of this product. I have been using it as a cleanser as well as a toner for almost two years now. A quick wipe down helps removing any remaining makeup residue (after cleaning with a makeup remover) and leaves my skin feeling clean and refreshed!

#5 Maybelline Gel Liner does not dry out too quickly and I like it better than Shu Uemura gel liner.

#6 Revlon Customeyes Mascara is my favourite mascara at a drug store level. The brush itself features a short but densely packed bristles hence allow me to reach every lash and apply mascara with ease. It is definitely a much much better mascara than Maybelline The Colossal (which I was using before).

#7 Max Factor Masterpiece Colour Precision Eyeshadow provides a subtle illumination and accentuates areas that need a good highlight such as eyelids and nose bridge.

#8 Natio Spa with Organics Heavenly Hand Cream provides just the right balance of moisture without feeling too greasy or heavy. It has a refreshing citrusy aroma - attributed to its blend of aloe vera extract, sweet almond oil, panax ginseng extract, sesame oil, lavender oil and citrus peel oil.

I wish I could show you more but my eyes are so heavy I guess I just have to buzz off early tonight.

I shall be back with more updates soon... 

Until then... Good night people! ♥  ^___________^ ♥

喜欢Ella

其实我对娱乐圈的认识并不多，而且也很少八卦明星们的私生活。
不过我相信乐坛上 S.H.E. 应该算是最健康的团体之一吧？
三人之间有默契不再说，能在这行打滚十年依然深受民爱也是因为她们活泼开朗、自然而不作做、搞笑而不害羞的风格而换来的。

三人里面，记忆中我认为最美的是Selina了，当然朋友之间很多都喜欢Hebe，反而当时候的Ella稍稍逊色了一点，也许跟她小男孩的造型有一点点关系。可是听了她们十年的歌曲，也看了她们多年的偶像剧和节目主持，我突然对Ella的感觉有了很大的转变，尤其是看了吴尊和Ella主演的《花样》以后。Ella内外其实都很漂亮，反正就是她那率直的性格让人特别喜欢她。

我才刚刚准备要沉迷贺军翔和Ella主演的《女孩坏坏》，这么快她就嫁人了⋯⋯！
怎么突然间觉得S.H.E.长大了这么多呢？



这部戏里的主打歌《坏女孩》和以往的《怎么办》同样活泼。

Tank和Ella合唱的《懂我再爱我》也很好听，反正有Ella主演的偶像剧Tank的歌声是一定少不了的。

超喜欢这两张Ella的婚照，很可爱呐！
Ella你要幸福喔！

这是Dark Brown么？

我觉得⋯⋯ 我的发型师最近好像跟我有仇⋯⋯

一开始，我向她要求染Dark Brown（是指在灯光下头发里带一点点比较自然咖啡色的那种）

上色当儿，我有点担心颜色不对，可是又怕尴尬，于是便客气问她：Dark Brown 是酱黑的吗？
她信心十足地跟我说：洗了头颜色就会比较淡了⋯⋯ 呵呵⋯⋯

后来洗了头再把头抹干后，我又疑心很重地问她：确定是Dark Brown 喔？好像很黑呐？
她又再一次安慰我说：头发吹干了颜色就会比较淡了⋯⋯呵呵⋯⋯

现在根根头发都吹干了，可是这还算是Dark Brown 吗？
她依然语气肯定地说：头发洗了几次颜色就会比较淡了⋯⋯真的真的！

其实不只是颜色的问题，头发也被剪薄了很多，那一瞬间怎么心口上感觉特别痛心呢？
好想即刻买顶假发来遮丑喔⋯⋯

事后发型师很顽皮地跟我说：那天看你在电视广告上的头发黑黑多好看嘛，不如就试一试Black 好不好？

不是吧？这是故意的意思吗？好过份喔⋯⋯

我也傻傻的⋯⋯ 怎么被整了两次还继续光顾她的发型屋呢？

其实我当时有想过要她立刻给我从新再染新颜色，可是当时我好赶时间，而且觉得如果她真的别有用心，即使再染我也不会满意的，不如省点时间找其他发型师？

十分抱歉，好丑的黑色，半素颜的脸孔，图片不适放大。

Absolutely Healthy

At the beginning of the year, I promised I will make my health my top priority no matter how busy I am.
Now that the year is coming to an end soon I should better continue watching my diet even more closely.
So far we have made quite a significant change to our dietary plan this year. We have totally omitted fish and chips, pizza etc from our list. Not to mention cutting down our portion size, using less sugar, salt and oil in cooking. And even hardly eat out these days other than the Japanese foods!
How good is that?!!! (/^o^)/

I cook dinner at home most nights no matter how late I finish from work. Sometimes we have our meal at 9pm and by the time I finish washing up the dishes it is already time to snooze! But it doesn't really bother me as my recipes are usually pretty simple, straight forward and short. Or maybe bold even?

Dinner tonight 03/09/12 - Steamed salmon and boiled baby bok choy. 

Completely salt-free. Healthy enough?

I used to take a lot of advice from Jamie Oliver's cookbooks but lately I have been making up my own sauce instead. The broth from the steamed salmon is sweet and has a faint hint of alcohol. It is good with a bowl of white rice. 

Home cooked dinner is absolutely healthy although it may not look fancy most of the time.

Don't you agree?
