Nice body moisturizer


I used not to put any body cream because I dislike it will leave my skin feel sticky. I tried some body cream from drug store and most of them are quite oily and leave a layer of oil on the skin. The cream just stay on the top without being absorbed. Especailly when you wash the hand or any water get onto the skin, you will feel a layer of oil on top. So, I do not use any body cream for a while.


However, the climate is so dry in Australia and my legs become so dry. So, I decided to give another try. I bought the Cherry blossom body butter from body shop and I really love it. Even though it is body butter , the texture is very light and creamy and easily spread on the skin using just a small amount. The smell is not strong at all which is quite different to other fruity sensed body butter from body shop. More important, no sticky feeling on my skin and you will feel it being absorbed quickly. I have used two tubs already and I will keep using it. But if you have really dry skin, I guess it may not be enough. It is more suitable for normal skin.

Shea Butter hand and cuticle cream


My nails are very dry and not easy to keep it long. They will get peeled very easily so I always look for nail products to enhance the condition of my nails. Apart from apply the OPI strengthening nail polish , I find another good stuff recently.


This is the Loccitane Shea Butter and cuticle cream. I know that Shea Butter is good in moisturization. This cream is thick and smells so natural. I always apply it on the nails and massage them through. Afterwards, I will apply hand cream in order to keep the moisture. After days, I found my nails being more strong and not so dry. I will keep using it to see further improvement.

Dinner @ Tukka

Even though I have been in Australia for a long time, I have not tried the authentic australian cuisine yet. I guess I do not really interest in tasting crocodile, emu and kangaroo. However, Tao has always wanted to try that. We know Tukka @ West end is one of the best australian restuarant and we decided to give a try last sunday.

We have the native platter for entree. The berries are nice and sweet. Most of them I have never seen or tasted before.The nuts salad is very good . The platter has emu, crocodile and kangaroo meat cooked in different ways. I like the smoked emu the most. (I guess that because I always like smoked meat). The most delicious item is the traditional australian bread called damper. With different type of herbs , you can smell it once it is out of the kitchen. The three dips bring different taste of the bread. It isa must try item.


For the main, we have emu fan fillet and mushrooms cooked in 4 ways. The emu fillet is nicely cooked. For the mushroom, it is a interesting dish. I have not try mushroom mouse and pudding before. The taste is alright but I do feel a bit weird having mushroom mouse and pudding as main. I guess it will be better as entree or in the summer menu.

Overall, I like the platter the most. The damper is one of the best bread I have ever taste. I really wanna try to make one at home..hehe..

Women spend nearly one year deciding what to wear ??



"Women spend nearly one year deciding what to wear" - this is the news title I saw this morning and I am really surprised that we spend so much time on figuring out our wardrobe.

Honestly, I am not the type that spend so much time on deciding what to wear but I cannot deny that I try several outfits when I want to look beautiful on a important date or function.
I may even decide what to wear weeks before ensuring I have the right clothes for the function. It may sound silly but I guess most girl will do the same thing. Choosing the outfit and having your make up on will take around 1 hour ....um...I guess it is still reasonable and acceptable for looking great and making yourself to be confident. I believe everyone feel happier when you believe you are looking good.

One year spending for letting yourself being happy and have more confident...it is still a good deal for me.
