How would you categorise your skin? Oily? Dry? Combination? Explosive? Warring? My facial therapist used to always say that my skin is very dry. I'm not sure what she's seeing because I always thought it was kind of oily. Anyhoodle, dry skin is bad because it means wrinkles and wrinkles are bad because it means I'll look old and that's bad because I'm vain. I think you get the drift.

My friends JF and D introduced me to something awesome - Laneige's Water Sleeping Mask and since using it, my facial therapist has concluded that my skin is 'not so dry anymore' which I guess means it's working and I'm going to have youthful skin forever and ever or something.

As the name suggests, it's a mask that you wear to sleep. It's like a clear gel that you apply (I lightly apply it) and let it dry, kind of like a moisturiser I guess. But since the package says it's a mask, I'll just believe them. Since it dries clear, it doesn't stain your pillows or anything. I wash it off in the morning and I can actually feel the bounciness of my skin after so I do think it's legit. I don't use it nightly but rather 2 or 3 times a week alternating between my regular night cream and this.

Anyway, if you're looking to add yet another thing into your beauty routine, I recommend this!

Thanks for reading!

Sharing is caring

I struggled with a bout of stomach flu last week which made me too exhausted to think about what I was going to wear to work so I threw on my trusty ol' black sack dress and super comfy H&M flats and called it a day. I actually really like this sack dress because it's very forgiving when I have a huge lunch and it matches easily with other things and it allows me to take naps in dark places with less chance of being seen.

I hear that the stomach flu bug is actually going around so protect yourself, don't go sharing your food and beverages with just anyone. In fact, be like me, don't share it AT ALL. Because 'selfish' is my middle name. I don't actually know how I got it, but I did meet the mouse squad and CC had had it the previous week, and although we didn't share food, I imagine her germs, being the nasty little creatures that they are, jumped from her Nam Nam noodles into my bowl, and then I ingested them and then they became runny poo. THANKS A LOT CC. Friendship over.

Anyway, as the ever-doting girlfriend, I've shared my best friend's gift to me, with my boo. THANKS A LOT CC.

Protect yourself. Thanks for reading!
