Satin With Savvy Sleepers

I've mentioned many times that in the blog sphere, you get to meet many new friends and some stay dear to you. One of them is my blogger friend Dale from Savvy Spice. One day last year, she commented on my blog and I liked her comment so I went to her blog and found it so informative and pleasant to read. At that time, I was about to go to San Francisco for my Spring break and I decided to ask her some questions about where to go and what to do in SF. She definitely gave me some great recommendations.

This year, I found out she started an online business called Savvy Sleepers. Due to lack of sleep, she created satin pillowcases and is selling them on Savvy Sleepers. When I knew about it, I immediately congratulated her on her new adventure. I purchased a satin pillowcase in Nappuccino to try it out. I've never slept on a satin pillowcase before, so I decided to experience it myself for 2 weeks and below is my verdict.

Pros:

1. Sleeping on cotton gives me creases on my face in the morning (that's not too sexy don't you think?). I'm sure as you age, the crease takes a longer time to disappear. Sleeping on satin doesn't give me creases AT ALL! *phew* If only I knew about this much earlier.
2. Smoother hair in the morning and no tangled-ends.
3. I have combination skin so most mornings when I get up, my face is kind of greasy. Sleeping on satin makes it less greasy.
4. The secret pocket inside the pillowcase is a great thing to have. I keep my earplugs in it so I won't keep loosing them all the time.
5. Lately the weather has been really hot and our AC takes a long time to cool down. My bf has issue with heat, so when the pillow is too warm, he can't sleep. Satin cools down much faster and it stays cool even when we lay on it. After using the satin pillowcase, he has no issues with heat and sleep any more.

I only have one issue with it. The pillowcase needs to be clean every week because it tends to absorb dirt quicker.

You can check out Dale's satin pillow on her website at Savvy Sleepers. Contact her if you have further questions about the satin pillowcases. I would definitely recommend it to my family and friends.

Collection #118 - These Are A Few Of My Favourite Things

I had a date with my movie bf (Chris Pine) yesterday. I wore this outfit to watch Star Trek Into Darkness and I totally enjoyed the movie. Have you watched it? I'm not so much of a Star Trek fan but my bf (I mean Mr W), highly recommended this movie so I had a date with 2 boyfriends at the same time. LOL! Do you have a movie or TV boyfriend?

Moving on to fashion, I really like this skirt. I first saw Andy Torres from Style Scrapbook wearing a similar skirt and I totally like the cut and flow of the skirt (link here). So, when I saw this one, I've got to have it. How do you like it?

Collection #117 - Half A Neon

Weather is getting so hot lately and everywhere I go, I need the AC! My car has been registering like 36 degrees (96.8F) for almost a week now. I've been getting migraine quite frequent lately due to this heat. Guess I need to hydrate myself more.

I bought this top from  Korean store and I really like the touch of neon pink on it. The fabric is thin and it's good to keep myself cool in this hot weather. How's the weather like over at your place?

Monday's Fashion Cravings

Over the weekend, I'm thinking of getting a new mini bag. My choices are down to this 2 bags and I'm stuck! Both are nice but I'm thinking of only getting 1 because my bf will give me "THE LOOK" if I ever get another bag again.

What do you think? Which 1 should I be getting?

Cosmobox - Episode 2

As mentioned in Episode 1 of the Cosmobox post (view here), I'm so happy that this beauty box is available in Malaysia. I get to try out a variety of beauty products delivered to my doorstep every 3rd week of the month. A box is only RM33 (USD11) and that includes free shipping. You can choose a 3, 6 or 12 months subscription, whichever that fits your needs.

I was ecstatic when I opened their February box (view it here)! There are some Murad skincare products, which I would love to try. I'm already using Murad's acne control range and now I can try their Whitening range and sunblock as well. 

I did a short video of my journey with Cosmobox with this post. I hope you'll enjoy it, as this is my very first video for this blog. You feedback is much appreciated =) Enjoy!

Precious Possession - It's A Boy! It's A Boy!

It's a Boy! It's a Chanel! What were you thinking? I just had a son?! =D

Due to selfish reasons (my time and travel means a lot more), I would rather have a Boy Chanel than a son....for now. Well, here is my very 1st Chanel bag. I've never paid much attention on Chanel bags until this design came around. When Boy Chanel first launched, I totally fell in love with the design! I believe a lot of people does too because it flew out of the shelves soon after it was launched. I've been waiting to get the color I wanted and now I found it =) 

Guess timing is everything. What's your opinion on a Boy Chanel?

Collection #115 - Minty Fresh Friday

It's Friday night and I'm home relaxing. Made myself a cup of hot peppermint tea, kicked back and share my outfit of the day with you. By the way, I worn a faux leather top today. I believe leather is great for cool Spring weather but it can get terribly hot for warm weather like mine over here.

Ever feel like you just want a quiet Friday to unwind? What are you up to on a Friday night?

Collection #114 - Briefly Studded

Today I'm wearing a mixture of new and old. I bought this pair of studded boots quite a while ago and I got a great deal from Zara. It's half the price! So I grabbed it without hesitation.

I bought this dress from a random Korean store. I wasn't allowed to try the dress but I really like the print and studs on the dress. So I bought it without trying and now when I had it on for the first time, I actually find it kind of short. After the photo shoot I actually put on a pair of black stockings and headed out to work. What would you do if you bought a dress which is too short and unable to return it?

As for the watch, it belonged to a guy friend of mine. I thought it was a cool watch and he let me took some pictures with it. Would you wear a man's watch?

Precious Possession - Andy Warhol Inspired

Cosmobox by Box Culture

When I first found out about Cosmobox, I'm beyond happy! I'm like "Finally this happy box is available in my country and without me having to pay a bomb for shipping!". I first knew this concept about a box filled with beauty products through other blogs from America and Europe. It's called Glossybox in America and Europe.

You must be wondering what's with this Cosmobox? In my opinion, it's a happy box filled with surprises. Once you subscribe to it, you'll never know what you're going to get until it arrives at your doorstep. They're mainly beauty products, which range from hair to face care and even perfume vials sometimes. I love this concept because you get to try out these products without paying an arm and leg for products that you may not like or allergic to. The products in the box are all trial sizes and if you really like it, then you can buy them in full sizes. A box of Cosmobox is only RM33 (USD11) a month! Definitely worth every penny!

I think this concept is great. You can give them as gifts or give yourself a surprise every month. Since Mother's Day is around the corner, you can give your mom a surprise too! If you are in Malaysia, you can start by visiting Box Culture's website here. Let me share with you what I've got and what I did with them.

Collection #113 - An Oriental Touch

Today we celebrate Labor Day here. I know certain countries does not celebrate it today but we do and it's a holiday! Woohoo!!

So since it is a holiday today, me and my girlfriends had a GNO last night. The topic we talked about was pretty interesting. It was about men being the more analytical ones and women tend to make decision based on feelings. My bf will never understand why I should have another pair of shoes or another bag. To him 1 is enough and 2 is too much. To me, it has never been a want. It is always a NEED! LOL! Do you have this issue at home?

Talking about fashion, I bought this outfit from Zara in Bangkok when I was there in March. I just can't take my eyes off this kimono-collar top. I've tonnes of jeans in my closet already but when I saw this one hanging there, I think it would match this top so perfectly and I just have to have it! How do you like my mix and match? If you are reading this Mr W, yes, the jeans is a NEED too =D

Collection #112 - Peplum And Brocade

After going through some sort of house arrest (more like a good rest) for almost 2 weeks, it feels good to be out there running (I mean walking) around and getting some fresh air. Of course I would like to look good too when I'm out and about.

To be honest, I wore these heels for pictures only and maybe minimal walking for the day. Most of the time, I sit a lot =D Well, can't blame me for loosing my grace in heels for now. After the "confinement period" and without heels for 2 weeks, I loose my touch a little. Do you go through that? Where you wear flats for a while and put you back in heels, you tend to wobble a little? Ok, maybe it's just me.

I love it and I love the faint print of brocade on this peplum top contrasting the darker print on the leggings. How do you like brocade prints?

Collection #111 - Sweet Or Conservative?

I've never categorized myself as one of those sweet ones like the Japanese anime or Korean girls type of looks. Somehow the color Pink always ended up on a sweet note in my mind.

When my bf took this picture for me, he said this outfit is somewhat conservative. What do you think? Is it towards the sweet side or conservative in your book?

Collection #110 - Flowers Bring Happiness

This week started slow and pretty relaxing for me. My health has improved tremendously since last week. I can't believe that it has been a week since I had the operation. If you didn't know about my health issue, you can read it here. Well, all is good now =)

Sometimes, life throw you challenges out of no where and once you overcome it, you'll find yourself stronger than before. You'll find family and friends that really cared for you and fill you with much happiness. When I was in the hospital, I've friends who came with beautiful flowers and even brought my favourite drink - coffee. My wonderful sister that sent flowers from the other side of the world and family members that gave so much emotional support. I also have a few blogger friends that send their love and hugs. What more can I ask for?

I find myself mesmerized in the world of flowers lately. What about you? Are you into floral prints too?

Collection #109 - I'm Not Perfect But I'm Limited Edition

This week has been a crazy week. I've been in and out of the hospital so many times like you couldn't believe it. Well, what I wanted done has been done. All I can do now is get a proper rest and I'll be up-and-about again in no time.

My mind went to the days when I was in Penang 2 weeks ago. Time flew by so darn quickly. These are some pictures of my last day in Penang. How do you like my printed tee? I thought this tee was funny yet a very real message. I'm currently not perfect but I'm definitely a limited edition =)

Collection #107 - Weekend Getaway

Last weekend, my bf and I took a short break and head to the beach. We head up north to an island called Penang. It's about 3.5 hours from Kuala Lumpur. Penang has quite a bit to offer as well. They're famous for relatively cheap hawker food, some historical places and ok-nice beaches (don't compare it to the Greek isles or Mauritius).

We stayed at Hard Rock Hotel. Ever since they were open in 2009, it has been a yearly ritual for Mr.W and I to visit Penang and staying in this hotel. Here are some pictures to share with you. 

Btw, I currently fell in love with blue and yellow. What's your favourite color now?
