Eats & Treats: Bushido Shabu Shabu

It's all about healthy living these days. Trends come and go, but this is one trend I sure hope will stay because who doesn't want to be healthy and lead a long, happy life? I digress though. I've blogged about a steamboat restaurant previously and now I'm back with another one but it's Shabu-Shabu which is Japanese hotpot.

Thank you Dillon from Bushido Shabu-shabu for inviting us for a food review and thanks Jen for extending the invitation to the Ma Cherie girls! It's a lovely day for an afternoon of eats & treats with my friends. Now, it's really hard to miss this restaurant when you're driving past the main road Jalan Kuning, Taman Pelangi. It is located at a cornerlot and is below a Korean BBQ restaurant. Previously, this particular lot has been taken over by other Japanese or Korean buffet restaurants as well.

Giveaway: Etude House Hello Raspberry & Cranberry Body Wash & Body Lotion Sets (Mini May Giveaway)

Good Sunday Morning! 

I woke up this morning feeling kinda pumped to blog. With one more week left to May, I realised that I have not done a giveaway for this month, so I decided to host a quick one now! It's just to reward you readers for being patient with me as I update not-so-regularly nowadays but still giving me your full support whenever I post a new post. This is totally random, I know. I've been feeling really lucky and happy lately, and I thought I'd like to share the joy :)

Carinn x OOTD: Bohemian Chic ft. Shiny Happy People (shappytats)

Did I mention that I'm super happy that my camera is back so I can go back to shooting again? :D Anyway, just wanted to share with you guys my latest obsession - flash tattoos. Not only are they easy to use, they are the perfect accessory to add the right amount of style and sexiness to your outfit! Yep, it can make even regular T-shirt and jeans look good!

I am no stranger to temp tattoos, simply because I love how festive it looks and how a little design on my skin can make my day. To apply the tattoos, simply cut out your desired piece, peel off the plastic layer and place the print face-down on your skin, wet the back of the paper and hold for about a minute. Peel off slowly and voila, you are inked! Well, at least temporarily. It's great for people like me who long to have a tattoo but does not have the guts to. The best part is, these babies last for 3-5 days (depending on level of care, mine lasted for a week the last time) and you can get crazy and tattoo any place you want, with no pain at all!

[Guest Post] Why You Don't Have to Look Like a Model to Be Gorgeous

Fashion Friday is back! This week, I have another guest post for you, lovingly curated by Gabriella. If you have not read her previous guest post on my blog, you HAVE to! All her posts always contain useful and inspiring materials which I'm sure will be helpful to most of you girls!

In this post, Gabriella talks about the different kind of clothes, hair, makeup and skincare tips for all body shapes, hair type and face shape. This post was written so that even a petite girl like me can be confident and look like a model! Well, maybe not really but you get the point. It's a good read, so make sure you read it!

You do not need professional make up and expensive clothes to be beautiful and enchanting. Without tons of make-up, you can be gorgeous. You don’t think it is possible? It is more than possible. If you are interested in this, continue reading. I promise you will love what I have to say.

Body Type

In order for a piece of clothing to suit you perfectly, it should appropriate to your body type. There are five basic body types. If you have an inverted triangle-shaped body, wear a dress with tight waist or pants in bright colours. A pear-shaped body type is opposite to the previous one. So, embellish your upper part of the body as much as you can and wear dark colours for the bottom part. When it comes to rectangle-shaped body types, the most important thing is to accentuate your waist as much as you can. On the other hand, apple-shaped women should wear a V-neckline in order to elongate the upper part of the body. If you have an hourglass-shaped body, lucky you! Any colour and piece of clothes suit you to a T.

Girl Talk: Anigan Stain-Free Menstrual Period Panties

Disclaimer : This might be quite a sensitive issue to discuss for some readers. The reason that I am sharing this is because I find this bit of information/ item educational and helpful for most women. Please read at your discretion :)

Someone once told me, women have their periods for a quarter of their lives, yet it is still a taboo to talk about it publicly. It is not just about bleeding, it is about sustaining life for mankind (chehwah!). I don't know about you, but I face so many problems when it's that time of the month :( I have bad cramps, loss of appetite and if that isn't enough, I still have to worry about leakage. 0.0

Girls, you know what I'm talking about, right?

While we have medicines or some comfort food and hot water bottle or heat pad to dull the pain, it is hard to avoid leakage. Anigan is here to help save you from that embarrassment with these Anigan Stain-Free Menstrual Period Panties! Yes, these things exists! I was thrilled to discover that there is a solution to protect yourself from stains because lets face it, sometimes super absorbent pads just don't cut it. Anigan carries many other items too to protect women from leaking accidents and make that 7 days of period more bearable.
