A ring for me



The YSL arty ring is one of the signature fashion pieces that I want for quite a long time. It has been sold out quickly even thought it has quite a numbers of different colours. The most favourite colour is turquoise and lapis.


I have been trying to buy one for quite a long time. I can only found it in US website at quite a high price and limited size and colour available. So, I try to find one in ebay for quite some times and luckily I am able to find one that fit my size and not overpriced. It is a great fashion item that you are not going to miss.

Scales and Ales

Garlic and Rosemary pizza bread



Scallops , pork belly, sweet chili caramel sauce



Crab spring roll



1kg mussel pots with white wine and garlic

Scales and Ales is one of the best fish and chips restaurant in Brisbane. Tao wanted to bring me there for quite a long time and we have decided to try it on Tue.


I wanna try some nice seafood for quite a long time and this restaurant did not disappoint me.

We did not wanna order chips because we want to try more varieties.


We order the pizza bread as starter, two entrees and 1 kg mussels. The pizza bread is so crispy and smelt very nice. I seldom eat more than two pieces of bread at night and I broke routine...hehe.....


I must recommend the scallop and pork belly. It is so yummy and soft. It is a nice combination for the pork belly and the caramel sauces. It is one of the best I have ever try and it is a must try dish for this restaurant. The crab spring roll is quite ordinary and I guess I will try something else.


We have mussels as main and it is cooked nicely. The mussels is well favoured ...yum...yum....and it is the special on Tue so it cost 15 instead of 25...what a good bargain. We did have a great dinner and I guess I will for sure to try again in the near future..

Best cleaning tool



Clarisonic is very popular in recent years as it can clean the face more effectively leaving the skin smooth and fresh. It removes all the dirt from the pores and enables the skin to absorb skin care product. I heard a lot of good reviews and decided to get it even thought it is very pricey for a brush. It is retailed for over 350 AUD in David Jones / Myer ...(charged too much compared to US) so I think it is better to get it overseas.



I got mine in HK thanks for Tao. It was around 200 AUD from Joyce Beauty in HK. I have been using it since I got it in November last year and I believe that it is a good time to have a thorough review .


During the first few times I used it, I felt so itchy around my nose. However, I got used to the feeling after around a week . It works very well cleaning my face. It leaves no dirt at all. When I wipe the toner with cotton pad, I found no residual on my face. After using it for more than half year, I can see a gradual reduction of black heads. For anti-aging result...um....I did not see much difference yet. I guess I need to use it for longer time to see the result.


I think it is a good investment as I always believe cleaning is one of the main factor to better skin. By the way, I got the Clarisonic Pro and it can be used to exfoliate the body with the body brush. It works like a massage which is definitely a treat for the body.

Where is ur dream land?



This is a necklace by Disney Couture I bought yesterday. It have lovely pendant that engraved 'the Secret World of Pixie Hollow ' at front and 'off to Neverland Land' at the back. You can even open the locket which is a paper map of the Neverland. I always like accessories with special details... I can not resist to buy especially it has a big discount....I think it will be good to wear it with a plain T shirt....

rosehip oil



Rose hip oil is one of the effective anti-aging beauty product that loads with fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants. It is good to smooth the skin, even out the skin tone, reduce any scars and pigmentation. Although it is a oil, it does not make my skin oily at all. I usually use it at night after my hydrating serum. I put around two to three drops on my palm to warm it up and then massage it to my face. I will try to do a bit of massage at that time....After that, I will put face cream moisture to lock the moisture.


I found my skin is getting brighter and smoother in the next morning when I wake up.....For a anti-aging product that is able to deliver, it is for sure not a expensive investment. I bought the Kosmea Rose hip oil which is a certified organic oil. It costs around 25 AUD for 20ml. I guess it can last you around 3 months if you only use it for the night time.


For dry skin to normal skin, it can be used in the morning . It will provide a very smooth base for putting the foundation and give your skin a dewy look. I cannot use that in the morning as I have oily combination skin. But I will definitely use it every night to keep my skin hydrated.


Rosehip oil is a wonderful budgeted anti-aging goodies. It is good to buy the certified more....hehe..

what is cruel...?!

When I came across the news yesterday and I cannot believe someone can be so cruel. Just like digging a lovely person 's tomb. How can you broadcast the photos of the beloved dying Diana. It is already a long long time ago and what the reason behind it. Money...fame...or just to defend himself not the cause of the deadly crash....Even though what he did , there is no way he can be free from the conspiracy.
