I love nail polish

I like to have some colour on my nails. I used to have OPI but I find that it is not that worth it. My new favourite is Chanel nail polish.It is very easy to control and can last for a week. Although it is more expensive than OPI, it is worthwhile the money as the quality is better. Even though I did not use it for long, the texture smooth and still slide on the nail easily.

I have bought No.18 and No. 482. I guess these two are on the top list of Chanel polish as the colour are great and elegant. I love to paint that when I want to have a mature look.
My new favourite is the new collection especially the 503 Inattendu and 505 Particuliere. The colour is very classy and are great on most outfit. They are both limited edition and are sold out in most of the store now. I know that Chanel will have new nail colour coming soon but I guess I am not much interested even though it is green. I feel weird to have green nail......like a witch....

New clothes for Cookie

Cookie gets his new clothes from Hong Kong. This is not the one that I wanted to get the most , but Cookie is too big now and cannot fit into the one that I like. I get him this jacket and seems that he does not like it so much. I guess because it is still very hot for him to wear such a thick clothes and hopefully he will love it when the climate is cold.

電影談

這陣子並没有太多令人期待的電影，我只是看了中外票房很好的其中兩部. Alice in Wonderland 是講述愛麗絲成長後重回仙境的經歷. 在 Tim Burton 的執導下，把各樣的奇幻的人及事呈現出來，令我真的有進入仙境的感覺. 女主角的表演雖為遜色，其他演員如 Johnny Depp , Helena Boham Carter 演得最為傳神，令故事吸引度 大增. 雖然故事的情感並没有太特出，但是兩個小時電影並没有虛場, 仍是很值得一看的.


另外一部很值得一看的電影是 艋舺. 這是一部少有的台灣的黑道電影. 故事描述五個小口子在黑道中的友誼,義氣及恩怨. 導演把整個故事描寫得寫實, 兄弟互動的情感很細膩. 而且劇中的新人如阮經天及趙又廷演出很老練，並没有生澀味道, 是近年來一部很值得欣賞的電影

new favourite

Love this handbag a lot although it is so heavy. It is good to carry this with casual outfit but still looks so chic and modern. It is one of the smallest daytime handbag I own even though I am a big bag lover.

Another favourite is the Woodford co Armed Denim Jacket. I have been looking for denim jacket for a long time. Previously I wanted to get a classic Levis jacket but found out that it does not fit me well. After I tried this jacket today, I love it. The texture is very soft , not as thick as the normal denim jacket. Also, I like the should pad a lot as it flattering the arm. The pads do not make the shoulder looks wider but enable the outline of your arms looks straighter.

童話不再?

童話故事都是每個小孩必聽的故事。兒時都對這個美好幸福的故事充滿憧憬，希望自己長大後能成為其中的主角。當我漸漸長大，明白到很多東西並不完美，現實生活中的童話故事其實少之又少，出現了也很難長久。想成為其中的故事人物更是天方夜譚。雖然童話没降臨在我身上，但對於別人的童話我還是抱着祝福的心情，希望故事的結局能美滿。可是很多事情都不能盡如人意，每當我看到美好幻滅都不禁感到可惜。
最近我便因為一個本是王子公主的童話終結而很不快，慨嘆現實中没有童話故事了! 男友很奇怪我會對這事不關己又無聊的新聞有着這麼大的反應，其實我自己也不太了解。我想我是完美主義者，容易傷春悲秋，總是希望美好的事能延續，所以才不自覺感傷事情的發展。
雖然公主王子開心生活下去，不過我也看到一個令人興奮的新聞。澳洲一個動物園的未出生的小象本己被宣佈在母親的肚子裏死亡，可是卻奇蹟地活着出生，現在正開始慢慢健康成長 。這個生命的童話是否証明了在現實上美好的故事仍是有生存的空閒呢?

中女

中女話題是全城熱話。有很多女士看了星期二檔案後很害怕，擔心自己的將來也會跟其中的受訪者相同，有的男士對節目中對大部份男士形容為花心，多心等很不認同，也有人更稱這是港女的報認。
我雖然也是中女一名，暫時並没有中女的危機感，不過朋友中也有人很擔心自己會變成"賣剩蔗"..

我相信感情婚姻很大是縁份，很多事不是爭取便能擁有。對於Erica對中女告心的回應中認為女性要選擇，為了找到一個好男人要年輕時全職拍拖，打扮要女性化。我不能說這全是錯，不過我認為很多女性也要生活，也要照顧家人。因為時代不同，很多女性不是只為一口飯，也很大部份需要一份好工作生活，不能不專注工作而整天以男為中心。更不要說萬一二人分手，往後的日子又如何是好。所以女性比從前重事業，不能全心在男友上是很能理解的。
現今社會跟以前很不同，兩性對於異性的要求比從前的一輩有很大的出入，更何況香港有着中國傳統觀念及西方思想的薰陶，兩者都希望異性有對兩個不同文化的優點，但又不自覺的互相矛盾。只想到對自己有利的一方，形成社會兩性的分裂。
當然每人有不同的選擇及體會，我只希望香港和諧，不要斷續互相針對，這只有令這個小地方更不開心而己

Body scrubs

I strongly believe body scrub is very important for maintaining the smoothness of skin. I used to have a lot of acne and roughness at my back and also the back of the arm years ago and it gets tremendous improvement after I use body scrub regularly with the combination of diet change (eat more vegetables and drink 8 cups of water per day).

Body scrubs come with many different texture and smell which offer people with different needs. My body skin type is normal but my back is a bit oily. As my problem area is the back, I prefer the exfoliating scrub to be gentle but coarse . I feel my dead skin removed and my skin of so smooth after shower. As my skin is not that dry, I dislike the scrub with strong body oil that leaves the skin a shinny layer.

I have tried many different scrubs and these are scrubs that I like.

Body shop has two body scrubs that I like. One is the papaya body scrub and the other is Africa salt scrub. The papaya body scrub has a coarse scrub that leave your skin smooth. It is a bit runny but still stick to your skin. Also the smell is very fresh and great to use in summer. As it is runny, I use it without adding much water and can use for around 5 times in total. The Africa salt scrub has very fine scrub and the smell is very natural. It has to add water for spreading it on the skin. It can stick to the skin and do the exfoliation. As it is so fine, it may need a bit of pressure for exfoliation. It looks like milk when water runs through the skin. The skin feels very soft and moisturizing. You can use around 12 times.



Among all these, I like the Origin modern friction body scrub the most if price is not a concern. Its texture is the stickiest among all and the scrub is very suitable for exfoliating acne skin. It definitely need to add a bit more water to spread it over the skin as it is quite dry to spread on out of the bottle. It sticks on the skin and leaving it easier to polish. It polishes the skin really well and leaves your skin like a new born baby. However, I hate the package as it is so difficult to squeeze from the tube. As the scrub is very sticky, it stays on the side of the tube and you will waste a lot if you just throw it away. So, iI have to cut it open and squeeze all into a jar for use. For 200 ml, you can use up to 10 times. But for 200ml scrub costs up to AUD 70, it is still very expensive.

Loccitane Almond Delicious Paste is another great scrub. It has crunchy almond shells and sugar crystals which gently refines your skin. The grain is in between of the modern friction and the body shop africa spa salt scrub and can get rid of the dead skin. The smell is very nice and delicious. You really want to eat it when you are exfoliating the skin and it runs like the milk when you shower. It leaves a very mild but not shinny almond oil and your skin will be very soft afterwards. It is great to use in dry climate. It is a bit pricey AUD 54.95 for 200 ml and more suitable to use it as a treat. Hehe....that what I will do in the future.

Natio wellness body scrub is the cheapest at all but I am so surprise with the outcome. I do not like most of the gel-based body scrub as most of them cannot stick to the skin well for exfoliating. You cannot feel the grain at all and feel like you just have a normal gel shower. So, I usually go for the creamy paste. However, I saw good review from others and I got one from the sale during Christmas. I tried this morning and it was really good. It is grainy and can polish all the dead skin. The smell is not artificial but mild leaving your skin feeling fresh. The skin feels smooth after shower and I believe I can able to use at least 15 times. It is just AUD16.32 and it is the cheapest of all. It is good to use either in summer or winter. I always wanted to find one scrub that is cheap and good as I consume quite a lot of amount on single use and this is for sure the one I will choose.
