HAPPY NEW YEARS EVE!!

FAVORITE PRODUCTS 2011

Top FIVE Holy Grail products that I've been loving:

#5 Tresemme Moisture Rich Shampoo & Conditioner

My hair suffered a great deal from my frequent hair dyes in the past.  It became very dry and unmanageable, and it got to a  point where I just stopped coloring my hair.  I have had my share of high end hair care products, but Tresemme is hands down my favorite.  It consistently makes my hair smooth and silky.   The scent is also very delicate and feminine.  It's perfect for those on a budget and the performance is great.

#4 Imju  Fiberwig Macara

Words can't describe how much I LOVE this mascara! It never leaves my lashes chunky.  This mascara lengthens my lashes in the most natural way and is so easy to wash off at the end of the day. 

#3 ThermaCare HeatWraps

 

Every month I turn to this ahh-mazing product.  Two words: It Works.

#2 Aveeno Active Naturals: Positively Radiant

Daily Cleansing Pads

Since I started using the Aveeno Cleansing Pads, I've noticed my skin becoming more smoother and radiant.  My friends and family have given me lots of compliments on the improvement of my skin complexion.  It really does what it promises, so I added this to my skin care routine.  I only use this product about 1-2 times/week, but can be used daily.  It does have a dual purpose -- one side is smooth for daily cleansing and the other is textured for exfoliation.  Since I have a great cleanser I only use the textured side of this pad for exfoliation only.  It's very gentle and it works great on my skin.

#1 Marc by Marc Jacobs 'Classic Q-Natasha' Crossbody Flap Bag

I recently got this purse as a birthday gift, and I am sooo in love with it.  It matches with practically all my winter wardrobe.  Very stylish indeed, and the fine Italian leather is soooo soft.

REFLECTIONS~

I can't believe in a few days we will say goodbye to 2011, and hello to 2012.
How was your 2011?
As for me, this year was full of experiences -- some being positive and great (such as having the opportunity to blog here =] with you guys!)..while some were..errm just trying.
I learned a lot this year about myself and what happiness really is.  To cut things short, let's just all realize that wanting "something" and achieving "something" are two completely different things.  Wanting "something" is only the beginning to achieving that "something".  So from this, let's all remember to add fuel to what your passions are in life and enjoy the ride...and most importantly don't look back because the future is only forward.  Cheers~

Hope you're enjoying the holidays because I am! Sorry about the lack of posts lately.
I will continue to add more posts and reviews soon =) so stay tuned!

Delicious Instant Miso Soup

BRRRR.....It's been so windy and cold lately and all I want to do is drink warm soup.  I recently found a really tasty instant miso soup from the market.  Silly me I forgot the package name, but regardless it looks like this:

The packaging is very compact and it comes with one serving of a nice warm bowl of miso. 

Here's the block of dried miso soup.  It contains seaweed, tofu, green onion, & dried bean curd. Don't believe me? Keep reading.

Miso soup after pouring in hot water to the bowl.

Yes.. it's that easy.

Stay warm guys!
