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!

 Staying home will only mean one thing. Staying sane! And staying safe of course! While many are following the news around the pandemic, lest not forget to continue to have healthy good hygiene habits by brushing our teeth daily twice a day and to change your toothbrush atleast every 3 months. It's a common wear & tear basic rule. Plus those brush has been doing all the dirty work for you keeping cavities away from your tooth, you definitely need to replace them after awhile.

Today I wanna share about FAFC Toothbrushes because I've been their secret fan since I spotted them years ago at a baby fair and saw how adorable their Fun Alive Figurine Cartoon toothbrushes would appeal to kids especially! Cos good hygiene always starts from young and starts from home. Over the years, I've gotten them the Robocar Poli collection and my kids just look forward to brushing their teeth every morning and night!

Actually in the image above, the one that is all pink is already few months old. You can see its bristle is already all over the place. Totally just in time for a replacement. Plus this was a mini size for my baby girl who was only 1-ish years old. Now she is turning 2 soon and it's about time to upgrade to a bigger size for her full set of shark-like tooth!

So I gotten for her the toothbrush with the detachable Super Wing figurine cartoon at the handle. I love the handle cos it has a soft grip in the center, a good indicator for my child when she holds the toothbrush.

Recently I noticed new innovations as well from FAFC and some of it is very suitable for us adults especially. Some of the few I really love is these 2 below :

One is the Compact Toothbrush and another is Charcoal Suction Toothbrush. I like how the bristles are made specifically for different purposes. But both are Japan premium made bristles that gives a really good cleaning to your set of pearly whites!

This FAFC Compact Toothbrush is MicroThin, with its Japan Made Premium Bristles, it is extra soft and compact enough to really clean between those hard to reach and tight gaps between your tooth! And because it is gentle, it doesn't brush hardly against your gums, so you don't bleed. Because my husband has sensitive gums but since switching the right toothpaste and also pairing with the right toothbrush, it makes a whole lot of difference!

As for my favourite, it is the FAFC Charcoal Suction toothbrush. Because of the Japan Binchotan Charcoal that actually provides a deep cleaning yet gentle action via its ultra soft charcoal bristles. The best part about this is, it is also quite thin too, not too far apart from MicroThin that it can help sweep away food and plaque from along the gumlines too! And because it is Anti-Bacterial, this is a bonus for me!

And because I love FAFC collection so much as you can see in my pictures above where I still have the Robocar Poli toothbrush collection, I stock up extra for my kids. My daughter would like to show you how she brushes her teeth! She started on her own mimicking us since 6 months old, she is a really good example why kids to have good oral hygiene from young.

Because I love their collection so much I just had to run a giveaway just for my followers in my social media because they deserve only the best and nothing less especially when FMCO was announced! So I have already gotten 4 winners for the giveaway for a set of 3 toothbrushes each. Means each winner get a set of 1x Children toothbrush, 1x Charcoal Suction toothbrush and 1x Compact toothbrush from FAFC! Gratitude to FAFC for this giveaway, I really do hope they my fans will appreciate the gift and also continue to stay in good health and have good oral hygiene habits with the best recommended product all the time!
