Have you guys heard of MURAD? If not let me give a quick intro, in 1989, Dr Howard Murad a dermatologist and pharmacist founded Murad, Inc. the first modern doctor brand of clinical skincare products. Hence for over 30yrs they have been developing the next-generation dark spots solution based on a patented technology to minimize the look of dark spots you see.

Which brings me to the product I wanted to share with you today. The Rapid Dark Spot Correcting Serum for pigmentation and dark spot correcting. Especially for women above 25, your skin is rapidly aging from age 20 onwards so its important to have a good skin care routine in hand.

So I tried going to a random korean saloon lately for their free trial treatment and it was some kind of machine used to lighten my blemishes and pigments on my face however to go back again is a hassle and a hefty sum for me, plus in just a week whatever effect that machine did faded and my skin went back to normal, it was experimental for my anyways because I already had my natural solution that works. And that's when I came across this brand and just thought lets see how this brand compares to the one I am using. And I will say it is pretty okay especially for the price of it.

See, this Rapid Dark Spot Correcting Serum has a hydroquinone-free intensive serum that promotes cell's turnover for even brighter skin. At first usage it was tingling on my skin. So I used it on one blemish spot on my skin instead to test out the 14 days and see what changes.

Rapidly reduces pigments without seeing the doctor, means no need to go for saloons too.

Apart from this Serum, it is best to pair with a sunblock and I tested this together with the City Skin Age Defense Broad Spectrum SPF50 PA++++ as it is a matte type of solution that leaves the skin with no shiny surface and protects from UV light.

I will say, just see at the before after 14 days. Pretty good if you want a quick solution for your pigments and dark spots. If you have any questions to ask about this product on my experience using it, feel free to get in touch with me anytime.

Being a woman who just loves my hair! Actually, let's rewind back a lil. Since young, my mom always ask me to cut "boy cut, boy cut" and it's really annoying really. I never liked short hair, she liked it because it's easier to manage but she never considered what I really like for myself. So anyways, I had my fair share of humiliation when I was short haired and disliked myself and as I was growing into my own personality, I make the decisions for myself. You would also say that my hairstyle do change according to trends. However, lately my hairstyle has been pretty similar because I like the way it is, it is who I am. So I've been having this long luscious, voluminous wavy curl hair that is easily manageable for many years now - especially during the pandemic as we're home all the time.

So I splurged on these because they are affordable, of good quality and comfort, most importantly, I can wear it in style with my daughter anytime we want! And my daughter really love to model the beautiful collection as she also loves it on herself as well. Hence the kiss she gave herself in the mirror (hahaha)!!

One day, my daughter will probably have long hair like me or however way she wants to style it to her liking, she will probably need a good hair brush to keep her crowning glory well kept. So my hair brush haul I've gotten are these.

So I did a good research and identified each brushes and its features and the purpose and true enough I put it to the test while on my family staycation holiday last year in 2020 in the midst of the pandemic, when the numbers were way lower, we had a quick holiday at Melaka and I definitely brought these along because I wanna look good when I'm out. So enjoy the 3 min video giving a good introduction and demo of these beautiful brushes that accompanied me throughout the day.

I think these will make a perfect gift for all the ladies and lil ladies out there! The best gift for best friends to match and pair with, a lovely collection your girlfriend will adore, the best gift a mother and daughter can down with it today! I heard Madammoselle is now available at most hypermarkets near you, you can also check it out at Tesco Malaysia or Sogo Malaysia too.

Recently, been taking lots of notes at home on my online courses and leadership sessions that I have been exploring various gel pen to take my writing experience up a notch. Grateful that I was able to come across Faber-Castell Malaysia latest launch of the Fast Gel Z, a new retractable gel pen that has a new precision tip & ultra low viscosity ink technology; Which offers an unbeatable smooth writing experience, which makes this the smoothest gel pen I have ever had before.

I also looked up more info online and found out more about why is this pen so different that it deserves an entire post dedicated for it. 

Firstly, in engineering the Fast Gel Z, Faber-Castell developed a new and innovative multi-channelled tip that is paired with ultra-low viscosity ink that results in an unrivalled smooth writing performance. This innovative combination results in The Fast Gel Z Pen delivering the smoothest writing performance out of any other pen in the market. Basically, like some gel pen out there, especially gel types, it gets pretty darn annoying when the gel don't dry up fast enough that it smudges everywhere, I repeat E-V-E-R-Y-W-H-E-R-E and it is just horrendous like a horror story waiting to happen. Did I mention, the gel ink gets stuck on your hands too? It does on mine. But this Fast Gel Z, I don't have any of such issue. 

With the new tip technology, there is less friction between the pen and the paper, resulting in a smooth laydown. In laboratory friction tests conducted with other competitor gel pens in the market, the Fast Gel Z pen achieves the lowest friction. Basically what this means is, you don't scratch your paper for once. And even the feeling as your write on the paper and feel the smoothness as the pen tip glides throughout the entire piece of paper as you scribble your note down, that feeling is very enjoyable. It just makes you want to keep on writing. It is that smooth!

“Faber-Castell always strives to produce innovative products that cater to the demands and needs of consumers. Some of the concerns we noted among consumers when using a gel pen is its inability to glide smoothly coupled with constant ink smudges and slippery especially during a long writing duration, which do not give consumers a good writing experience. This has prompted us to innovate the Fast Gel Z pen that can take users’ writing experience to new peaks,” said Mr Andrew Woon, Managing Director of Faber-Castell Malaysia.

 “With the inclusion of the latest technologies, such as the precision tip technology and ultra smooth ink feature, one can now experience pure writing pleasure using the Fast Gel Z Pen as it ensures an effortless, vibrant and intense line; without skips, smudges and lags,” added Andrew. Andrew said the gel pen is an important business segment for Faber-Castell Malaysia. According to a study by Kantar, the world’s leading data, insights and consulting company, the market size of gel pens in 2019 stands at RM43 million in Malaysia.

I had to quote the above excerpt from Faber-Castell because I totally agree with Andrew. It's one thing to find the right pen to fit your hands, it's another to find one that gives you just the simplest pleasure of writing smoothly without the mishaps and pressure. The new Fast Gel Z pen includes the following features:  

- Ultimate smoothness in writing performance 

- Fast-dry ink with no smudges 

- Intense, vibrant inks

- Extra-soft grip for superior comfort when writing 

- Refillable 

So if you haven't already, you better go and discover the ultimate smoothness of the Fast Gel Z for yourself today! This gel pen comes in two variants - 0.5mm and 0.7mm, both of which are available in black, blue and red ink.

Each Fast Gel Z Pen retails at RM5 a pen while its refill retails at RM3.50. They are also now available at major stationery stores and hypermarkets nationwide as well as Faber-Castell’s eShop at https://shop.faber-castell.com.my/ (that's where I got my pen from, safe from home)

Still cleansing your face by hand? It may not be as clean as you think it is. This was what people told me before last time and it is true. I always thought, we can just be natural. Just water and hand can already. Like my video below.

But like a sociopath, it doesn't do justice to our skin health in the long run. Because I had shingles in 2018, it left a mark in my life that I knew I had to start taking care of my health, taking care of my skin, taking care of my body. Because I still want to be alive, young and healthy until my kids grow up, get married and succeed in life. I don't want to be a burden for them or leave them hanging unto life halfway, that is selfish. If I can choose, I would love to gift them a life that I never had, a much better one for sure.

Although many may say that the best way to wash our face is using our hands because it is gentler than many devices or cloth out there. However, this was before technology and science evolved. And in today's digital era, with such advanced technologies we have in hand, definitely we want to leverage on it to have the best for ourself. Which comes to why I am inspired to write this because, I was once a washing face with hands user. I don't even believe in cleansers for that matter.

Just a quick flashback of when I had shingles in 2018 {You can read here} and I had an unhealthy weight loss of 10kg and also the shingles breakout all over my body, front and back, my face and my scalp as well. The pain was excruciating but bearable, I basically attracted it anyways, I was asking for bedrest but I wasn't specific so I gotten my big bedrest for a month long because of shingles. But many people told me that the shingles scar was hard to go away, I didn't want to accept that at first. But when I saw how bad it was on my body and face, I thought alright, let's start learning makeup and maybe some skin lotion and stuff. 

At first, I tried to do explore into the beauty niche and explore skincare from various brands to see which can help me the most. But after trying various brands with various ingredients on my face, I had different reactions and breakouts and caused my skin to be sensitive. And the pores on my face didn't shrink. So finally I knew, enough is enough, I was determined to buy my own beauty product instead and my first and only choice was Lumispa then. So after 3 of my friends shared with me, 2 left a good impression for me and while I was waiting for 1 of them to come back to me, the other 1 came first and I decided to get it from her and wait no more. I was damn skeptic then, I wanted to buy but not join. Because I failed at 5 other MLM before, ended up spending rather than earning or even making a difference in others or my life.

I've tried many cookie's in my entire breastfeeding journey, especially the ones that promotes boosting breastmilk. And out of the many I've tried and reviewed before, this one was my favourite, because it was really yummy and chocolatey. 

I love how it tastes and I don't taste too much of the other herby ingredients that some cookies has it very strongly. And it's not too dry and coarse like some who is super high in fibres. 

It was just the nice blend in combination and the chocolate was really like a melt in your mouth type and it was chunky! If you love chunky chocolates you will love this for sure.

At first I was thinking, like all other cookies maybe this will take time to work too. But I didn't know that even after breastfeeding consistently for 7yrs in a row with several months break in between when I had shingles back in 2018 and now still breastfeeding my baby girl; I would still have the feeling of getting engorged! 

And at first I thought maybe I was just excited and happy to try out something new that got me to feel boosted. However, I tried again 2 to 3 pieces of cookie and true enough, in just 24hours I felt somewhat fuller. In fact, it wasn't just me who enjoyed the cookies, my kids as well. My baby girl was the happiest, cookies and milk just for her. Breastfeeding for 7 years in a row and feeding on demand via direct latch helps to keep the flow going and also takes away the concept of, how many ounces you can produce because I believe the breastpump and milk bottle, cannot measure the amount of milk one can produce. 

Only your mindset, your emotions/feelings and your baby can measure the amount of milk you have. I was always positive about breastfeeding and never listen in to naysayers or negativity, to the point even the cabbage couldn't stop me from lactating. Since then I knew our mind is a powerful tool! That with support from cookies like this helps. Also, because cabbage didn't work for me, when I was engorged, the only 2 things that has helped me this time around was my Lumispa and Cholestin! Because Cholestin supplement helps to reduce any blockages at the milk ducts and allows smoother flow in our bloodstream because one of the ingredients in it is Lecithin. As for Lumispa, it helps to gently massage and unblock milk ducts that is stuck, works much better and efficient than my knuckles or the back of the comb or warm bottle water.

Here's where to get some cookies to indulge in for leisure with your family or for your breastfeeding journey. Trust me, this works! And check out the other reviews on their Instagram channel too! Lotsa mummies attest to this!
