Shopping via Lazada Malaysia App & Pay by MOLPay/MOLPay Cash

If you don't already know, Lazada Malaysia has launched their very own mobile app and you can now enjoy the shopping spree over your smartphone. Groceries, electronic gadgets, men & ladies fashion, beauty products and household products, they are all just a click away. I don't know about you, but I'm personally very thrilled to know that Lazada Malaysia has launched their mobile app. I spend a lot of time on commuting so I'm delighted to know that I can shop on Lazada Malaysia anytime, anywhere. This also means that I won't miss out any of the good deals and crazy promotions! You can download Lazada Malaysia app from App Store / Google Play store, I just downloaded mine over the last weekend and had fun exploring the app. To my surprise, Lazada Malaysia app is actually very user-friendly, easy to use and I have not experienced any bugs or app crashing issue so far. 

The app's interface is simple and yet, it's not boring at all. It has features similar to their official website. For example, on-going promotions and awesome deals will be highlighted on the main page upon entering the app, so that you won't miss these good deals out. 

Summer Is Here! Let's Have A Mangotella Spree at Caffe Bene, City Square JB

Living in a tropical country lying on the Equator, we basically do not get the chance to enjoy the change of seasons. All we have is hot and humid weather all year long, which provides us with concrete reason to enjoy more bingsu. Recently, Caffe Bene Malaysia has launched their summer seasonal menu themed "Mangotella", a menu combining sweet refreshing mango and rich indulgent Nutella.

Beware, this is a photo-heavy post that is going to make you drool! 

I was really excited to try the Mangotella series dessert out because I'm a hardcore mango lover. If you happen to find this review a little biased, I can assure you that yes this is a biased review because I'm already in love with the dessert even before I dig them in. Tell me who can resist a big bowl of mango bingsu drizzled with rich Nutella?

Libresse Let's Get Real Launch with Adibah Noor

Everyone has blind spots. We all go about doing things everyday out of habit and accepting things as they are without being aware if they are REAL or NOT. There’s your friend who exclaims, “Well, I don’t remember seeing this restaurant – and I have driven through here like a million times!” Or the colleague who believes that she is “on top of things” when she has clearly missed out on a few spelling errors in a document after the 15th draft. Then, there are the sanitary pad ads with girls wearing white, laughing and dancing, skipping around with joy – but, have you ever wondered how realistic these behaviours are when women are having their period? 

The hardest thing about blind spots is that we don’t even realize that we have them…until someone points them out for us. So, how ARE “blind spots” on these ads impacting us?  

众多怪梦中的其中一小个

昨天晚上做了个很可怕的梦。

我推开门，步入一间黑漆漆的房间。中间有盏刺眼的日光灯，就像电影里常见的梦境现场。躲在黑暗角落里的，都是我曾经非常熟悉的朋友和亲人。他们一看见我，一个个都涌上前来说“我们等你等了好久，你终于来了”。

“什么？你们为什么等我？我们都在这里做什么？”

没有人回答我。

“他们说你是被杀死的，可是却一直找不到凶手，也没有证据，什么都没有。所以你真的是被杀死的吗？是谁杀了你？他为什么杀你？你死后都去了哪里啊？怎么那么久才过来？我们等你等了好几十年呢！”

“什么？我死了？！”

“早就死了啊！26岁时就死了，尸体是在森林里被发现的，警察都说是被谋杀的。所以是真的吗？你当年真的被杀了吗？”

我很努力很努力地回想，但不管怎么想，脑袋里的最后一块记忆就是一个再平凡不过的上班周日。我还记得我特别早关灯睡觉，睡前还从阳台收了衣服。我怎么就这样死了呢？怎么会死在森林呢？是谁杀了我？怎么可以死在26岁呢？我什么都还没做啊！我死了之后爸爸妈妈一定很伤心，而且我还要是被杀死的，他们一定很难过，养得那么大的女儿就这样没了。我越想越难过，一边想就一边掉眼泪。

“所以你们也和我一样，都死了吗？可是为什么你们全都没变老，你们的样子还是很年轻啊！” 我尝试厘清思绪，心里偷偷希望这只是一场梦，或是场恶作剧。

“因为你的记忆只到26岁啊，所以你看到的我们就是60年前的样子。我们当然都死了，不然在这里干嘛？”

后来我就只是不停地哭，真的太难过了，一想到来不及孝顺的爸爸妈妈我就觉得受不了，眼泪一直掉个不停。哭着哭着，就从梦中惊醒过来。

还好只是个梦，真的幸好只是梦而已。非常感恩，感谢所有看不见的力量让我还健康平安地活着。我从小就有很多奇怪的顾虑和隐忧。每次睡得太深太沉，我就会感到害怕，害怕睡着睡着我就醒不来了；害怕万一夜里发生什么事我也无力防抗，来不及逃生。可最近我偏偏睡得格外沉，夜半的大雨都没办法让我醒过来，所以我才会做这样的梦吗？婆婆和外婆都是在梦里离开人世的，以前我觉得那是个美好的离开方式，但后来又觉得这样无预警地离开非常不公平，好像还没做好准备就得离开了。但生命这种事从来都不在我们的掌控之内，所以想做的事情就要去执行、想要表达的感受就不要隐藏。对人对事都要尽自己的全力，不要留遗憾，不要总是到了最后才说“要是当时我这样这样那该有多好”，因为任何时候都有可能是最后的时分。上班之后我总是觉得累，有时候会变得懒散且容易将就妥协，或许这个梦是个启示，想要告诉我这样混混沌沌地过日子是不行的。好吧我知道了，也被这个梦给吓死了，接下来的日子我会好好生活，努力在每个角色上尽力做到最好。

今天就这样，希望今晚能有个美梦。

Love,

Uriage Eau Thermale French Skincare: Thermale Water, Micellaire Thermale Water & Crème Lavante

It has been a really long while since I last received pretty hot pink boxes from HiShop. One important feature that stands HiShop out of the other online beauty stores is that it carries many beauty brands that are unavailable in Malaysia. Recently, HiShop has added Uriage to the wide range of beauty brands that they offer.

Since its creation in 1992, the Uriage brand has been meeting the needs of sensitive skin thanks to its internationally renowned dermatological expertise. I have tried thermal water, micellaire thermale water & cleanser from Uriage, let's scroll down and read my verdicts on these products.

Althea Vitamin Box: When Happiness Only Costs Me $39

Hello guys! I'm extraordinarily excited to compose this post because guess what, I got myself an Althea beauty box, like finally! I have been eyeing on Althea's value-for-money curated beauty box since their launch back in October 2016 but unfortunately, it seems like I'm always a little slower than the other customers because the boxes are forever out of stock when I check my cart out. Can you imagine my frustration? These unbelievably cheap beauty boxes come in limited quantity so they are selling like hot cakes, only the fast fingers can bring them home. When I received newsletter from Althea regarding the launch of Vitamin Box, I told myself that I need to get this box after so many times of failure in checking my cart out, my determination is unprecedentedly strong!

The Plant Base: Nature Solution Hydrating Bamboo Water & Nature Solution Skin Essence

I'm a huge fans of Korean beauty products because they are affordable and they work well on Asians' skin. There are so many Korean beauty brands out in the market and I never get tired and bored trying them out. Established brands such as Laneige, Etude House, Innisfree, Skin Food and The Face Shop never let me down, and at the same time, new brands never fail to surprise me. I have seen The Plant Base products at Watson outlet and I thought their skin care range is interesting. Further studying the products, I found that it's a skin care brand from Korea! I'm going to give them a try, I told myself. 

Bamboo water? I was immediately attracted! Despite being an irrational consumer who emphasizes on aesthetic pleasure, I love how simple and clinical-looking the product packaging is, it somehow gives me reassurance that the product is safe, natural and organic. Well, this is exactly what The Plant Base promises their customers.

The Plant Base insists only hypoallergenic and high performance products formulated with only natural plants and certified organic ingredients. They have been doing a wonderful job in exploring and utilizing the skin care benefits in natural plants.
