Costumes Clearout

Author: CCW  //  Category: Amusing/Musing, Beauty & Beast, Shopping, Useful Links, Useful Tip

Like any smart mom and wife – I only buy things when they are on sale.  You all know how expensive  halloween costumes can get during Halloween – so when I saw costume clearout online – I just had to go look at it – to see if there was a real discount.   And I’m pleased to let you all know that there is a REAL discount – almost half price – for most of the costumes that I see here.

Last year, Chloe wanted to be Hannah Montana and I didn’t buy the costume for her because it was way too expensive – but since it is on clear out now – I think it’s reasonable enough to get it for her.  Like I said – I only buy things when the deal is really good – so Chloe is going to get a surprise this Halloween.

Author: CCW  //  Category: Amusing/Musing, Asia Gossips, Beauty & Beast, Health, Useful Links, Useful Tip

Those who don`t recognize Joyce Cheng  – i don`t blame you – coz`she sure lost a lot of weight!  Awesomeness rightÉ  i wonder what kind of weight loss pills or weight loss plan she used.  But she sure looked a lot different when she first started out when her mother – the famous Fei – Fei was still alive.

Recently Joyce and her ang moh boyfriend Mark Ryan was in the news.  They had been dating for 4 yrs now before Fei Fei passed away. Looks like Mark Ryan is a man of many talent from being a triathlon to a teacher and also a designer and an artist.   Mark don`t seems to want to talk too much about their relationship and want to do what makes Joyce happy.   I do like Joyce – moreso, because of her mother Fei – Fei – whom I have grown up watching her on tv.  I wish Joyce happiness and continue to stay healthy and slim.

Marathon Movie Weekend

Author: CCW  //  Category: Beauty & Beast, Entertainment, Useful Links, Useful Tip

I love our marathon movie weekends – but whenever we do the over night movie thing – i have very bad skin problems.  What about you?  I think it’s because of not getting enough rest and eating lots of junk food in the meantime – and the body just does it stuff and show me that it’s upset – hahahah!  So each time after a marathon movie weekend – i end up having to look for natural acne treatments , else I won’t be seeing any customers for a week or so.  Some of my friends have acne at the back of their shoulders – now that’s hard too.  Can you imagine the scars if they don’t take care of it?  No more swimming or sun tanning during the summer !  So love the marathon movie weekend but hate the skin problems that comes with it – but after finding the natural way to cure acne – I don’t have to worry too much.

Too Much TV Of Late

Author: CCW  //  Category: Beauty & Beast, Health, TV Shows, Useful Links

Some people say that too much tv and late nights causes blackhead – and I don’t if it is true – but the kids – nephew and nieces  – everything you see them – they are right in front of the tv – yes! just like the picture above – it seems.  One told me he needs  blackhead treatment and asked me – if I know anything that can take care of his blackhead.   I took a look at his face and even his back – the shoulder part has blackhead !  my oh my! that boy needs blackhead treatment for sure.   Acne and blackhead combine – i better get him something real fast – in the meantime – I told him to stop gluing himself onto the tv – and get lots of fluid into his body!  these kids!  don’t know how to take care of themselves!

Movie Habits

Author: CCW  //  Category: Beauty & Beast, Health, TV Shows, Useful Links, Useful Tip

We really have a bad habit that we had  passed on to our kid -  we need to watch a movie when we are eating – or just before going to bed.  Movies! movies ! movies!  we are tv and movie addict !  and because of our late night movies instead of sleeping enough and sleeping well – sometimes we don’t get to sleep good.  A customer at the store read about  melatonin when she found me yawning all the time at the store – and asked me to read it up.   Maybe the shows and movies are disturbing that keeps my brain running even though it is late?  or is it just me – not able to sleep well – because the body is over tired – but whatever it is – I better do something – being so tired just isn’t good for work.

Late Night Movies

Author: CCW  //  Category: Beauty & Beast, Entertainment, Movie Reviews, Shopping, TV Shows, Useful Links

I watch lots of movies and tv shows as you all know – and sometimes – some movies are so interesting – I give up my beauty sleep time to finish the movie – coz’ i had to see what happened in the end right?  Yes! i’m that terrible or what!  because of my late nights watching movies – I get acne!!!!  yes!!!  but luckily there are acne scar removal cream that one can use!  hahah!  I’ve gonna read up on it and see which is the best – but if you know of any – feel free to leave a comment – and let me know.  I get some pimples too – if I don’t get at least 6 hrs of beauty rest – what about you ?   The price to pay for being a movie & tv addict.

Shopping Therapy

Author: CCW  //  Category: Beauty & Beast, Shopping, Useful Links, Useful Tip

Or is it retail therapy it is called.  I never really believed that shopping does good for one – but after staying in Canada for this long – I can tell you – if the woman wants to go shopping – please let her shop – it may only be for  running shorts or even a warm up pants – the difference after she gets home from shopping – you can tell the difference.

I think shopping does good for the women because – it gives us some sort of control over our life – I feel a lot better after buying something for myself – and taking care of myself.  If men thinks that women are out to bust their bank cards – they are so wrong.  All the women want is to feel good not only for themselves but for their men too.  So hear it from the experienced woman here – let the wife or g/f go shopping whenever she wants.  I never shop for very expensive things – I just buy one or two  – and we will be very happy.  What about you?

Me & My Hair

Author: CCW  //  Category: Amusing/Musing, Beauty & Beast, Health, Shopping, Useful Links

This is not me !  this is someone whom I admire for a long time – not only is she beautiful, smart and fashionable – she has a head full of hair!  we are about the same age – but I have been losing lots of hair since my daughter was born.  They say that stress causes hair loss also known as stress hair loss and it’s not all about genetics – when it comes to losing hair.  I think I am highly stressed up not only because of work but because I miss home too – and the anxiety of giving my daughter the best stuff in life.   I need to try and relax a lot more and find time for myself – so what do you do to relax?  are woman and their hair the most important thing?  I think so – what about you?  Can you guess whose hair this is?

Detoxify My Body

Author: CCW  //  Category: Beauty & Beast, Health, Useful Links, Useful Tip

Sorry i have been sick lately and cannot keep up to date with the show’s synopsis – and not on time – not because I am a slacker though.  I know! I know!  i need to take good care of myself and my health – so I’m looking into a natural colon cleanser which i’m told can detoxify my body.

When I first heard of detoxifying my body – the word can be quite frightening right?  but nope not so – when I learned more about it.  You see – we have terrible toxins in our body – from the smoke we breathe in, the food we eat and the environment around us and our surroundings.  So detoxifying can make  one’s body healthier, eliminates acne and lose weight! I’m dying to try it – if anyone has tried it – leave me a comment and tell me how it went eh.

HouseWives Belly Dancing

Author: CCW  //  Category: Beauty & Beast, Entertainment, Health, Music, Useful Links

Belly dancing housewives is the norm around this town – because there is someone offering belly dancing to anyone who is interested.  I know of a bunch of housewives looking to  reducing belly fat doing belly dancing and having a lot of fun with it.  Looking at this amateur video – you can also hear all the whistling and hooting for these housewives right?  I’m interested in losing some belly fat too – so when the girlfriend showed me what they were doing in class – I was kinda intrigue.  What do you think?  one can even belly dance your way back to your spouse’s heart too.

Lets Talk About Fashion On Sex & The City 2

Author: CCW  //  Category: Amusing/Musing, Beauty & Beast, Entertainment, Hollywood Gossips, Movie Reviews, Shopping, Useful Links

So I’ve just finished watching Sex and the City 2 last night – well – lets just say – I missed them in the movies but am glad I found it online and watched it.  Was I disappointed?  kinda !  because – it was supposed to be hotter – sexier and better than the first one – but I think I liked the first one a lot more.  And did you see the clothing that the ladies wore?  Not just cardigan sweaters but really glamorous clothing even when they were in Abu Dhabi.  We know that Jessica Parker has some outrageous clothing but this time round – just about everyone has outrageous fashion – in such hot, hot weather – in the middle of the dessert and riding a camel’s back.  Tell me about outrageous! but for me – I loved the first sex and the city movie more – but the tv sitcom was much better.

But what’s more outrageous were the Abu Dhabi women wearing Louis Vuitton underneath all their cover up?  mannnn!!!  how can they take the heat right?  If i were in Abu Dhabi – i would be wearing light sweaters, jeans and open knitted cardigan for the evenings because i hear it gets cold then.  But sorry no shiny Michael Jackson’s shoulder pats that Kim Cattrall had in the disco/Karaoke pleaseeee!! that is just so 80s!!   Don’t get me wrong – i love the glamor dresses like the night gown that Jessica Parker wore at the end of the show – when they were watching this black and white movie – because it’s just so right.  But if i were traveling and going on a camel – sorry ladies – i want something really comfy and no high heels for me in the sand – just quite ridiculous if you asked me.  What do you think?  don’t hate me for giving my opinion but i’m no fashion critic but just someone who loves Sex and the City.

OL Supreme Ep 23 is out for watching ! and Lisa Wang needs  anti wrinkle creams badly.  Don’t get me wrong – i mean no disrespect and i loveeee.. Lisa Wang – who doesn’t right?  but mann..!! after she officially got married – she looked a lot older but then having said that Lisa Wang is like 20 yrs older than I .. so one can’t really fault her for having some crow feet around her eyes eh.  On the same note – if i was as fit as her at that age – i would be really proud of myself.  What about you ..?? what do you think..?? do you think Lisa Wang aged..??  Anyhow.. if you want the synopsis .. follow the birdie.. leave a comment there.. for password.


Christmas Decoration

Author: CCW  //  Category: Beauty & Beast, Blog Stuff, Gadgets, Shopping, Useful Links, Vacations

For those who knows me, I’m big on Christmas, not only because I am now in Canada but also because I now have a 6 yrs old who loves the idea of Santas and Santarinas.  So when I was asked if I wanted to do a review for a feedback campaign for Collectibles Today for a  Thomas Kindade snowman , I went like  .. “ME…!! ME!!! ME!! PLEASEEEEE..!! “

As you all can see the snowman is pretty impressive and the second picture shows the detail inside the snowman – a small christmas village that lights up.  The snowman and all the white for snow are really shiny .. and the village also light up .. when you turn the power on.  What was most impressive with a lot of our customers that comes into our store (we own our own business) is the little train that goes round and round quietly.

It retails at Collectiblestoday.com for about $99 and what impressed us most was the packaging, they really packed it so well with styrofoam boxes and was so easy to set up, i received mine thru’ UPS and at first i was expecting a very small package but it turned out to be huge.  I do love my Thomas Kindade Snowman and since i received it as a gift, you can be sure I will be talking about it for a long, long time.  If you want to impress, show your appreciation or buy a meaning gift this Christmas and have money to spare, this is one that the mother-in-laws would appreciate.

This review is a result of a feedback campaign by Collectibles Today. I was asked to give an honest opinion about the product I received.

Author: CCW  //  Category: Amusing/Musing, Beauty & Beast, Entertainment, Hollywood Gossips

Look who is on the cover of GQ..??  January issue. Yes..!!! Jennie from the block. And who doesn’t like Jennifer Aniston from TV sitcom “FRIENDS” right..?  I did.. and i thought what an awesome couple.. when she and Brat Pitt got together.  But after their divorce.. well.. poor Jennie..  was never the same again.

But you can’t blame her for losing her self confidence right..?? and getting into all those bad relationships.  During her recent interview with GQ mag .. you can see how not over she is with Brad Pitt. I truly feel bad for her.. and wanna kick the interviewer’s butt .. for being so mean.   It is afterall, Jolie that was the husband snatcher right..?

Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM

Author: CCW  //  Category: Amusing/Musing, Beauty & Beast, Shopping

Definitely something i need like right now.. and the price is also right.  At $700 .. now is the time for me to buy it .. also because the zip of my current bag is not working properly too.. and i can’t find anything i like here.  This Neverfull MM is definitely a classic.. but i like it.  Nothing beats having a classic LV bag .. and this size is the right size.. because i can put all my stuff.. and all my daughter’s stuff in it as well.  Hey..! i might be able to chuck my lappie in it too..!

Nice and roomy inside.. and look at the workmanship.. and the Louis Vuitton signature.. very, very nice indeed..!  i can sleep with it as well.

I may not look like her.. but i would certainly feel like her.. when i am using the bag.   Some ppl may think it is too expensive to pay for a bag.. but i think it is worth every penny.  What do you think.. ??
