Talika Lipocils and Black – the secret to long lashes?

I’m about the laziest girl you could ever meet when it comes to make-up and skin care. Recently I have made efforts to take better care of my skin and I have been diligently using Shiseido White Lucent Intensive Spot Targeting Serum+ for my skincare routine.
In the recent 1 year or so, I was hardly ever seen without my fake eyelashes. Both the Shiseido serum & fake lashes were about all l I have done for the sake of looking good. Oh, other than my gym routines of which I’m a very dedicated gym bunny.

I seriously wish I can transfer the same dedication to my make-up/skincare routine. To be honest, sticking on the lashes each morning is a pain. I have mastered the technique and now takes no longer than 20 secs max for both eyes. But still, if only I don’t have to do so! If only I have natural think long lashes that I can just go out without having to put the fake ones on!
The fake lashes cost money and spoils instantly upon contact with water; meaning no getting caught in rain or swimming with them on. Also, I have to carry the eyelash glue with me wherever I go, just in case the eyelash falls off or got loose. The glue also melts if it’s a very hot day, leaving an annoying sticky film on my eyelids. Needless to say, the eyelash doesn’t stay on long if the glue melts.

At the end of each day, when I take them off, I have to rub my eyelids to get off the glue residue from my eyelids. I could use a make-up remover but it will still be slightly sticky.

When I’m not glued to my Asus Zenbook, I do read books and magazines.

Yes, REALLY. 😛

The thing about reading books and magazines is mostly about nostalgia for me. Sometimes, in an unexplained way, holding and reading a hardcopy does feel good and “cosy”. From hours in front of the laptop formulating online campaigns, editing pictures and blogging, it’s a relieve to grab a book and be spared the glare of the screen at times.

And of course, you can drift off to sleep without worries! 🙂

When I was in Tanjung Jara Resort earlier in April this year, I tried the their Spa Village services for the first time. The mandi bunga ritual was really fun, and the attentiveness of the therapists and consultants really impressed me. My treatment – The Asam Roselle (ROSELLE BODY TREATMENT) was thoroughly enjoyable; indeed a terrific mood booster and left me feeling truly relaxed (well, being in the resort helped, since I didn’t have to battle KL traffic to get home after!), as how an effective spa session should be.

I asked a few friends recently if they would buy flowers for special occasions and I was most surprised to their responses. A cynic and a total unromantic female, my idea of gifts are limited to cash or diamonds.
I have since expanded the list to include properties and return flights to exotics countries but NEVER had I appreciated FLOWERS.

Fortunately for mankind, people do still queue for flowers on special occasions such as Valentine’s and Mother’s Day.

Last year, thousands of specially air-flown tulips were snapped up as Malaysians grabbed these unique blooms for their special ones (I’m sure some were for their other halfs and not only mums).

Spa Village Tanjong Jara – The philosophy of Sucimurni

Anyone who has met me; at first impressions, thinks I’m high-strung and incredibly impatient. At my most natural self, my gestures and mannerism are brisk, my movements hurried and my speech rapid. People find themselves exhausted attempting to keep up with me, if they even attempt at all.

Underneath it all, I admit I’m fatigued. Both physically and mentally. Keeping the blog going takes dedication and effort, and running a company is no joke, even if it’s just a boutique consultancy firm.

Though this trip was planned months back, it was timely as I was near burned out recently. Finally admitting to myself that I just had to get away and take a step back from it all, I gladly turned down invitations, postponed meetings and switched my mind off work.

Tanjong Jara was beautiful in every way possible, from the accommodation to the hospitality, the facilities and the bewitching but serene surroundings.

For today I’m sharing my Asam Roselle body treatment at the Spa Village within the resort itself. It was one of the highlights of my stay simply because I’ve got beautiful pictures to show (meaning pictures of ME! 😛 ) and because it was truly one of the most enjoyable activity that one could possibly experienced here at Tanjong Jara Resort.

I was recommended the Asam Roselle Experience, and being a fan of the flower (both as a drink and in food) I was game to see how this flower can be incorporated in massage oils and treatment.

BACKGROUND:

ASAM ROSELLE (ROSELLE BODY TREATMENT)
More than three centuries ago the Roselle plant (Hibiscus sabdariffa L) was introduced into Malaysia from India. This pretty plant with dark red flowers, and unique healing powers, very quickly adapted to the fertile soil and tropical climate, and now grows wild throughout the country. It is known by different local names across peninsular Malaysia: Asam Paya; Asam Kumbang or Asam Susur.

This was last Monday, the opening night for the week-long Stylo parties.

I had 6 Stylo parties to attend, and now 6 days after, I have to admit that so far I have only attended this one, as the whole week I’m down with flu and fever and work was crazy.

Anyhow, nothing going to stop me from gracing the MERCEDES-BENZ PETRONAS F1 TEAM BASH tonight!

It’s at this NEW swanky gastrobar called “The Pool” (yup, this is the secret location!) and I just googled yesterday & here’s what I found; their FB page: http://www.facebook.com/thepoolkl where they are rewarding 2000 FB fans in 4 different parties!
Crazy! Head over to http://www.facebook.com/thepoolkl if you want to score yourself an invite!

An enterprising friend recently opened her own little natural skincare products outlet at The Mines Shopping Centre.

Naturally (pun intended) I had to check out this range of “natural” skincare products, since I’m a big fan of all things healthy and organic. However, I missed the launch as I was nursing a fever that day but Belle kindly passed me my goody bag anyway.

Yay! Thanks Belle!
Merry Christmas to me! 🙂
