My Fluffy Life~

Most women knows what is SPF, which stands for Sun Protection Factor. But what is it really means and how is it measured?�

The number indicates how long it takes before sunburn occurs. Some volunteers are needed to do the experiments where they are exposed to light spectrum which mimic the noontime sun.

Some volunteers will wear sunscreen while others don’t.  The amount of light that induces redness in sunscreen-protected skin, divided by the amount of light that induces redness in unprotected skin is the SPF.  

So, a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 will delay the onset of a sunburn in a person who would otherwise burn in 10 minutes to burn in 150 minutes. The SPF 15 sunscreen allows a person to stay out in the sun 15 times longer. 

So, dab on your sunscreen before you go under the sun! Yes protect against skin aging, damage and cancer!

With the freaking hot weather, I have to use two fans in my medium sized rented room to cool me down. Day and night.

And I guess is is probably time to get an air conditioner but not the conventional type. A portable one. It is kind of hard to find one in the local shops as I guess the demand is not as high. After some googling, I find that one can always find a best buy at www.buy.com as they have almost everything that you want  to find.

I am still contemplating of getting one right now as it is still pricier than the conventional air conditioner. But how long will this freaking hot weather lasts?                                   

I want to be pretty but I don’t want to spend too much time on it. Here are some of the quick beauty tips that you can count on : - Apply moisturiser at night so you look younger and fresher the next day. - Get makeup base and powder in one for quick application. 

- To make your eyes look more awake and open, try a bit of slightly shimmering neutral eye shadow, nothing flashy - baby powder could help absorb the conditions of greasy hair.  - If your face is in need of a pick-me-up in the middle of the day, try misting some toner on and blotting it off gently using a tissue, being careful not to rub your makeup off. - When washing or applying makeup to your face, always use upward motions. Downward rubbing motions can pull skin down, encouraging sagging skin.

Recently, I met with some of my childhood classmates during a wedding dinner. It’s good to catch up with them and get to know what others are doing. Many of them are overseas. I guess we have ventured to many different professional lines and industry.
To my surprise, quite many of them are practising laws; in my country, Singapore and even

As most of the many older generations, my parents do not have life insurance. Financial was a little difficult in those days for them to afford the luxury of life insurance although it does provide security for most people.

However, as they are getting older, it is not easy to buy a life insurance for them as many companies have very strict rules on older people and their health condition. Of course I’ll have to look for those life insurance with no exam no questions for them.
Well, it is better late than never, isn’t it?

Toner is apply after you cleanse your skin before you put moisturiser on it. But it is a step which many people would like to skip it and I am one of them.

I do not see the purpose of using the translucent liquid which doesn’t seems to bear any good effect on my face. Or so I thought till I googled why do I need to use toner and what is the benefit or goodness of it.Toner will improve your skin tone by tightening your pores helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

It will increase circulation, giving your face a healthy glow, hydrate your skin and restore your skin’s natural PH balance.A skin care toner will enhance the overall cleanliness of the skin by removing dead skin cells, dirt, oil and any residue from tired and lackluster skin. 

So, don’t skip using your toner now for a more radiant and beautiful face!

Finally after 5 days of travelling, I am back last night. Spent 3 hours cleaning up my room and house; the fans, floors, shelves and laundry.

Today I’ll spent the day hanging out, watching DVD and have a real rest. But it is freaking hot! How I wish the weather could be more forgiving! How nice would it be to live in a cold country where you can snuggle in a heated blanket at night.

Anyway. back to work tomorrow, how I dreaded it!

Wooohooo! Four days holiday, a much needed holiday for me. And for many people as well, I believe. Needed a break, I am heading north for some good food and hopefully shopping. A de-stress trip for me or I might need acne treatments for all the pimples that are popping up.

I hope there wouldn’t be bad traffic jam as of usual. Or else, another stressful trip on the road, looking for parking and jostling in the crowd.

After years of no contact, recently I keep getting calls from an ex-colleague. We met up for lunch one of the weekday as we work nearby. It was good to catch up with him until I realise that he might want to sell me something!

He was talking about making extra money through various way and asked if I am interested. Although he is main business is in video surveillance equipment, he is looking at multi level marketing and other opportunies.

Although I have shown a great amount of interest, I think he is still trying to call me every now and then to meet up for more business opportunities.Just how do I resist him in a more determined manner?

Due to work, I missed one important dinner; a birthday of a housemate and a farewell on another housemate. I really wanted to go and I thought I could make it. But to my disappointment, I was tight up on work till about 10.30pm when the dinner was over.

I didn’t even get to see him on the next night as I work pretty late too and he left without saying goodbye. Except in the phone, of course!

I was told that his new place in another country gonna be cool. What’s with fully furnished condo and central vacuum and many cool facilities.

Perhaps, when time and budget allowed, I could visit him in Xiamen!
