First I’d like to say, I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving =)… I managed to snag a great deal on Orofluido at one of the recent sample sales. You never know whether or not you will like a product by purchasing online without seeing it first. I just decided to take a risk this time …

Hallmark Limited Edition Ornaments
I’ve been trying to wrap up my stocking-stuffer shopping for this year at Hallmark and Pier 1. I have many people to shop for. I found this sweet little 2011 limited edition cupcake ornament at my local Hallmark and discovered that they began their holiday cupcake series last year. I was off to search on …
McCormick’s Szechuan Style Pepper Blend
I was very disappointed to find out that McCormick had discontinued my favorite pepper blend of all-time! I loved to sprinkle it on my eggs; made everything very tasty. This disappointment came a few years ago (circa 2006) and today it’s still on my mind. I proceeded to re-create the Szechuan pepper blend last year …
My Kitchen Necessities
Just a list of some kitchen necessities I cannot do without. It really depends on how often you cook and what you like to cook; you may not need all these items. This is simply food for thought… slow-cooker rice cooker or a small pot will do electric kettle rotating spice rack (if you work …
Lisa Stickley & Stephanie Johnson: Vanity Case Innovation
Cute little makeup cases excite me! My current favorite is Stephanie Johnson’s Mumbai Collection. I love seeing the new designs that people can dream up e.g. the double pocket, the tall vanity, etc! Really wish Lisa Stickley would have more American stockists. Paying for international shipping on top of an expensive vanity case is a …
Lush Review: The Ex-Factor Bath Cocktail
A perfect bath to chase away any blues (post-breakup or otherwise). This bath cocktail has a citrus-lime fragrance punctuated by a muskiness/woodsiness. It’s quite masculine; I didn’t mind though (kind of like sleeping in a boyfriend’s t-shirt). Reminds me slightly of Aquolina’s Blue Sugar (would be great to use post-bath for guys). Once I bought …
Pedicure Recommendations
This post is about some of the great affordable products I use for my at-home pedicures. As an aside, I’m planning to review several Lush footcare products in the near future. I’m glad there are some quality products out there since I do greatly benefit from more frequent pedicures and don’t always want to go …
Lush Review: Tang Bath Cocktail
This bath cocktail is a small reward for all the recent organizational milestones reached so far and for the 5 big loads of laundry I did yesterday (quite exhausting). Very Tang in color and scent (orange, citrusy). This may seem rather strange, but the woodsiness of this bath also reminded me of pre-lit orange incense. …
Storage Recommendation: The Container Store Like-It® Translucent Stacking Drawers
Been loving The Container Store’s Like-It® Translucent Stacking Drawers! Some models come in translucent white or translucent smoke to compliment your decor. I’m impressed how sturdy they are as well as how much they can hold. I’ve been storing toiletries e.g. bar soap, body butters, and massage bars in mine. They are also ideal for …
