Hi my loves!  How's the weekend treating you so far? In my part of the world, it's the last day of our weekend so it means it's back to work by tomorrow!  I've been working for 5 months here already but honestly, I still sometimes forget that work week starts on a Sunday here instead of a Monday.  Personally, I'd still prefer Sunday to be a rest day.   ^_^ Anyhoo, for today let me tell you about some stuff from The Body Shop that I am currently addicted with. It's the Wild Argan Oil collection that was released I think about a month ago.  The products in the collection are enriched with Community Fair Trade Wild Argan Oil from Morocco. I first came across this collection when I was looking for the anti-dandruff shampoo that the husband asked me to get for him.  I'll be talking about that as well soon, because finally after a long time of searching and trying out anti-dandruff products, the husband finally found something that actually works!  ...

July is almost over and in a week, so is Ramadan. For those wondering how is it to live in a Muslim country during Ramadan,  it's not really difficult. You just can't do your usual munching and drinking while at your desk, and it's not really because it's forbidden, but it's more like about respect.  Our Muslim brothers and sisters refrain from any food and drink from just before dawn until sunset and I think this year, their fasting takes about 20hrs a day because it's summer time.  Yes, they can be used to it already but still, they would appreciate if people around them won't be tempting them with food or drinks.  In our office, most of my team mates are Muslims but they told me I can eat/drink as long as I keep it discreet. Maybe they know I am usually stuck at my desk and they notice that I hardly go down to our pantry to eat or drink.  Anyway, I wish I can say the same thing for summer…I mean, that it's gonna end soon. It's so freaking hum...

Hi, my loves!  And so I went POOF on a few days again.  But no, it's not because I'm back to studying for another certification exam but because of I've been..well, watching too much TV.   (laughs)  I've recently got copies of The Vampire Diaries and have been watching it like crazy for days.  'twas like I've been glued to my seat and nothing else matters!  LOL.  But the good thing about it is, I haven't been eating much. I guess seeing Damon (the hot Ian Somerhalder) is more than enough to keep me full.  Hahah! Anyways, for today I want to share with you some of the awesome goodies I got as gifts from our friends from The Body Shop UAE (thanks!).  As you all know, their Spring 2014 collection is now out and so that's the first I'd be showing you…plus, some more!  (Thanks to The Body Shop UAE for these gifts!)

Months ago, The Body Shop launched a new line of lipsticks called Colour Crush that is said to have replaced their Colour Glide lipsticks.  There are 24 shades available split into groups of reds, pinks and browns. The Body Shop Colour Crush Lipsticks According to The Body Shop website, these lipsticks give a stunning pop of color and rich moisture and are infused with a subtle rose scent. For today, I'll be sharing with you swatches of the two shades that I got (thanks a bunch, Dinna!) and a bit of review.

Are you an LYB (Love Your Body) member of The Body Shop?  It's The Body Shop's club with a membership card that rewards you with discounts, free gifts and access to different perks and privileges. I've been a member of LYB since 2009 but I always lose my ID card.  Yes, I am "burara" like that. (laughs) Now, The Body Shop decided to put an end to plastic membership cards and adopt a technology that enables its members to access their LYB membership anytime, using an iPad, iPhone or iTouch.  Android users need not worry, as it will be available for you too in a few months. PVC is the most used material for membership, loyalty, or credit cards. On average 36 grams of CO 2 is generated for every plastic card produced. Globally, over 10 billion plastic cards are produced every year for marketing purposes. Hence, 50 million kilograms of plastic waste and 200,000 tons of CO2 emissions are generated . To counter the CO 2 effects of card production, we ...

  The Body Shop Shimmer Cubes (from the Lily Cole limited makeup collection) Pick one, two or more shades to blend and create your own look. Shimmer cubes come in a range of iridescent pinks and lilacs.  Think Pink, Live Lilac, Go Violet and Tint in Pink.  Crease resistant and suitable for contact lens wearers. As I've mentioned in my previous post , this is the second time I got Shimmer Cubes from The Body Shop.  I gave away the first one since I wasn't too happy about it.  I got so fed up with the fall outs and the disco-ball look. So when I got this as a gift during the event, I was like "Uh-oh, not again!"  But now I am just so thankful, for I am loving this quad to bits! Comes in a sealed transparent square compact which makes it easier to see the shades The cubes are individually packed, so you can just pop out a few for travel in case you don't need to bring all four. The case is sturdy and is of the right size to...
