MY EYELASH EXTENSION EXPERIENCE

Have you ever thought of doing an eyelash extension? Well, eyelash extension is a process where we apply extension to the eyelashes to enhance the length, thickness and fullness of natural eyelashes. Of course we don’t simply do it ourselves, we ask a professional to do it. Unless you don’t mind having no eyelash for the whole month. If you ever wonder of getting one but still not sure about it, let me help you get your answer!

BEFORE GETTING IT

Before you decide getting one, I suggest that you do some research about places that did eyelash extension professionally. Search for a place that have a good review and maybe ask people around you whether they know any good places. BUT! Before you listen to your friend, make sure you do a proper research about the place. Search for their website, Facebook or Instagram to see their eyelash extension masterpiece.  Remember, once you did it, you will have to stick with it for few weeks or months. Well, you can actually remove it, but you have to pay for it and it’s a waste of time. Don’t forget to search for the tips on how to maintain it where I will mention it in this post.

DURING THE PROCESS

The process will require you to lie down and you will have to close your eyes for the whole session. The session duration will depends on the place you choose. It usually takes 40 minute to an hour. But sometime it can reach to 2 hours. It really depends on the situation. The process basically involve fake eyelash and… glue?

AFTER THE PROCESS

Well, after the process. You supposedly get you desired eyelash. You will look like you are using fake eyelash but it don’t feel like you’re using one. People that used to wearing fake eyelashes will eventually know how it feels wearing fake lashes. If you end up choosing a good place, it will eventually feel like nothing.

HOW TO MAINTAIN

1.       You are not supposed to get it wet the first day you do it, keep it dry.

2.       Wash your face using a towel. Instead of rinsing it with water, wipe the foam with wet towel until your face is totally clean.

3.       Comb it daily with a lash wand or maybe a small comb.

4.       You can also dry it by using hairdryer. But make sure you use the cool setting for it.

5.       Use cotton bud to clean your eye make-up and try using water-based make-up remover

6.       Do not rub your eyes!

7.       Don’t pull the extension by yourself. You might accidently pull out your real lashes.

PRO’S AND CON’S

PRO’S

1.       Save time in terms on doing your make up. No more Fake lashes and mascara.

2.       Save money? Yes, if you are the person who wears new pair of fake lashes everytime.(ME!)

3.       You don’t rub your eyes often because you are taking care of your extension. (Rubbing your eyes is bad)

4.       Your face will still look gorgeous without make-up.

5.       You will eventually learn how to wash your face gently.

CON’S

1.       Removing your eye make- up will be a little time consuming.

2.       It will look a little weird sometime. (Rarely)

3.       Expensive for those people who does not care about eyelashes.

4.       You have to take good care of it, which is quite annoying for some people.

5.       Sometime, your real eyelashes will shed together with the extension.

HOW TO HAVE A GOOD START IN 2017?

Let’s not specified the year and let the title change to “How to have a good start EVERYDAY”. In my opinion, we have to start  our day with a good start to have a good end of the day. Is it hard? Let me share with you a little tip to make it easier for you;

Think Positive

If anyone of you here have no idea on how to think positive, the hack here is…. Try to think other way around. Negative people prone to think of something bad. Rather than spoiling your mind with a bad thought, why don’t you try to think the other way around? For example, I am quite a negative person sometime, I will constantly think that something bad will eventually happen to me. But, think at the bright side, do worrying about it makes it better? NO! You will eventually be afraid of everything. “Why should I blog if nobody will read it?”. But isn’t it better to try rather than making your own assumption. Can you get what I mean? Think more of the good side.

MAKE GOAL THAT IS REACHABLE

It’s easy to make goals for your life. But is it easy to reach it? Try making goals that you think it’s possible. If you like sugar so much, try NO SUGAR FOR A DAY. Don’t try to go for NO SUGAR FOR A MONTH thingy. When you eventually reach your goal, trust me. It will make your day. Rather than setting higher goal that will result to failure and ruin your day. But! Don’t set a goal that is too easy for you. Setting goals mean reaching for something that you haven’t reach before.

MAKE A HABIT TRACKER

Above is an example of a Habit Tracker. I’ve been using this Habit Tracker since the last few months and it helps me a lot especially in motivating me. I usually use this to track my habit such as, making meal, making the bed, cleaning, laundry and etc. Habit tracker helps me a lot in making sure I don’t forget small things like making my bed and laundry. Whenever I saw my meal planning is mostly tick (√), it will motivate me to do more. It makes me feel like I have achieved something. It also teaches you on how to be more discipline.

3 THINGS THAT YOU ARE THANKFUL FOR

Have you ever sit down and think about things that you are thankful for that day/month or year? If you haven’t, give it a try. We are too busy complaining about life until we forgot to notice things we should be thankful for. You don’t have to be thankful for something big. Small things are enough for you to remember to appreciate each and every thing that happens in your everyday life. For an example, food that we got to eat, day that we got to spend and vehicle that we got to ride. Not everybody got the privilege to have what you have. If we learn to be thankful on small things that happen to our life, we will eventually learn to appreciate more.

ENCOURAGE INSTEAD OF COMPLAINTS

Complaint is the thing we do each and every day. But if try changing our mind-set to encourage rather than complaining, we might get a positive income out of it. Rather that we complaint that we have a lot of paper work to do, might as well we encourage ourselves to focus and get it done so that we have nothing else to think about. We will not get anything done by complaining, it will only make things worse. So, instead of complaining, let’s start encouraging ourselves to do better!

HAVE A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU

DON’T CREATE DRAMA. Have a good relationship with people around you no matter who they are. You don’t want to start your day with anger. Communicate wisely with people around you and be friendly. If you don’t have anything nice to say, keep it to yourself. If you don’t like something, voice it out in a good way. Don’t try to hurt somebody else feeling just because you are hurt. It’s not easy to end a drama, so don’t create it.

WAKE UP EARLY AND GO TO BED EARLY

Starting your day early is a very good start. Waking up early means you will not turn up late to work and you will be more productive. You will have a lot of job done and time for yourself. BUT! This means that you have to go to bed early too. You don’t want to start your day being grumpy and uncomfortable because you don’t have enough sleep last night. Good sleep equal to a good day.

APPRECIATE EACH AND EVERY MOMENT

SLOW DOWN!!! You are going to fast people. Don’t forget to appreciate every moment in your life. Love the people around you and appreciate the beautiful moment in your life. Good things do not come often. So, appreciate it. You will eventually miss it one day. Love your parent and kids unconditionally. Remember that parent grows old and your kids grow up. By the time you realize how important they are to you, your kids are already married. He/she might don’t have the time to spend it with you. So while they are around, appreciate the moment. Create the moment if possible.  Don’t wait until it’s too late.

So that is my entire tip on how to start your 2017 with a good start. Hope it will be useful to everybody and have a great 2017. HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

LOREAL MAT MAGIQUE BB ESSENCE PRODUCT REVIEW

 LOREAL MAT MAGIQUE BB ESSENCE

Price        : 32.00

Type        : Foundation/ BB Cream/ Liquid Powder

Brand      : Loreal

Coverage : Medium

Pro's

1. Very lightweight
2. Matte
3. Last longer than a powder
4. Absorb quickly to the skin

Con's

1. Heavy glass container
2. Caused quite a mess when applying
3. Don't last 12 hours (Like stated in the bottle)

Overview

Loreal Mat Magique BB Essence is suitable for oily combination skin (Like mine). I find it easier to apply using a foundation brush rather than using a beauty blender (Maybe because it's very liquidy). The applicator aka the wand is not that helpful in term of spreading the essence on your face. If you are planning to use it daily, make sure that you apply it BEFORE you wear your OOTD. Because this product is a pro in ruining your outfit since it's so liquidy. So the conclusion is, this product is pretty good in terms of coverage and it feels so lightweight. But do take note that this product would probably make a mess during application. 

May my motivation continue for Vlogging!

Spend my Saturday with love going to the clearance sale in Kim Teck Cheong! Love spending time with Love!

The world had been shocked by the latest news that just happened in Jakarta. Bombing. It is definitely not a new thing to the world because the same incident had happened few months ago to our fellow friends in Paris. This two cases is not the only case that exist, but it is the latest and the hottest news that people had been talking about. But, what's the cause? Racism? Jealousy? Insanity?

People nowadays are too busy to care about others. Most of us society is focusing on improving our own live standard, focusing on making money to afford living, focusing on popularity and fame. Each of everyone of us is struggling to make living and making us forget and ignore everything that happen around us. Popularity and fame cause us human to argue and fight with each and everyone of us. Everybody is fighting to get on top and some people just do everything to get to the top including killing lives. THIS caused chaos to the society. The eagerness to get to the top, the eagerness to be popular and to be known.

Racism is also one of the reason why the world is turning up side down. Extremist? Nothing is wrong in being committed to your own religion and believes. Each and everyone of us have our own believes and our religion thought us to be kind to each and everyone of us human. We have to learn on how to respect other people believes even if they don't. Everything need to start with ourselves. Try not to be too sensitive when others criticize our believes. Don't force others to practice what our religion ask us to practice. We have our own believes and others have theirs. Be wise in anything you choose to do. Religion never asked you to purposely kill others and yourself. Think wisely before doing something that will harm us human and living things. We human suppose to be wise enough to think the good and the bad. But unfortunately, some of us human choose to do something without realizing the consequences.

Dear wise man, sit down and think. Is this what you want for the world? Is this what you want for your family. Make peace with everybody else, set a good example to our future generation. Unite and love one another. We have to stop being selfish, stop thinking about positions and fame. We need to stand together and make peace. Learn on how to stop condemning others and start correcting ourselves. Thank you for reading and please #prayforpeace #prayforhumanity

*PET SCAMMER* BEWARE!!!

I had been searching for pets this few weeks. And last week, i check on Mudah.my to find out whether there is any Pomeranian breed available. Guess what?! there is people selling Pomeranian for RM500. Pomeranian commonly known to be a very expensive breed, and founding RM500 Pomeranian Puppies is something you will not found easily. So I decided to e-mail the owner of the Pomeranian that i am interested. 

The day after, the owner reply my e-mail saying that she is giving me the Pomeranian for free because his job condition doesn't let her spend enough time with her puppies. Her e-mail really convince me that she is an owner who cares so much about her puppy, where she ask a lot of question trying to know whether you are going to be a good owner for her puppies. All her e-mail convince me that she is really serious about everything. So I decided to accept her offer.

When i decide to accept her offer, she told me that i only have to pay for the shipping fee. She said that she is from Malaysia but working in Thailand, and her puppies is advice to be send back to her hometown, which is Malaysia because the weather condition in Thailand is not suitable for the puppies. I started searching for all the procedure about importing pets from outside the country. And, as far as I'm concern, bringing pets from outside the country will need to go through the quarantine process. I tell her that i don't want the dog to go through does process because that process will harm the animal. Yet she convince me that there is a speacialist on sending pet to your door step call movepetsonline.com and she asked me to check it out. Unfortunately, the website is under renovation.

I have that small instinct that she might be lying to me, but i refuse to care about my instinct and carry on with it. I told my fiancee everything about the thing. That night, he asked me the puppies owner e-mail address, so I told him the e-mail and right away he show me the pet scammer list that had just been reported last month which is July. The e-mail is exactly like the address that had been replying me. I was disappointed and thankful at the same time. God is showing me sign before I proceed with all the payment. 

Below is the screen cap of the email between me and the scammer. It is exactly like the case i watched in Youtube last night. Be careful everyone.

The last procedure that she asked me to do is to bank in the RM500 to the movepetonline at the nearest Western Union. I am still replying her message this morning to know whether her scamming style is the same with the others. And YES, my fiancee found the same exact e-mail that they used to send it to the people like me. So, the conclusion is not to buy any pet from uutside the country unless you do a background check on everything. BE SAFE

6 So- Easy Ways To Save MONEY

Money? I think everyone have their own way to save money. But, did your saving plan work on you? If it does, below is some of the way that might help you save even more! Lets digest does tips one by one, maybe in 1 year time you will improve your saving skills!

1. Make It Automatic

Set up a specific percentage of your salary to be automatically deposited into a high- interest online savings account so you're less likely to touch it. It's a fool- proof way to make sure your savings stay on track and continue to build over the year. 

Alyssa Say: Well, this tips is very useful. I prefer setting my own goals every month and keep it by myself (In the bank, of course). I bank in my own money every month in the bank that i created especially for saving. But remember, you have to be disciplined to do this. 

2. Buy "NOTHING NEW" Month

It's exactly what the name says. Give it a go, and depending on your current shopping habits, this has the potential to save you around RM1,000 a month.

Alyssa Say: NOTHING NEW? Well, this is super hard for me. I haven't try it yet. But by imagining it, I think i will save up to RM500 a month since I'm not a shopaholic. For me, nothing new means no trying any new products or no more buying new outfit for that particular month. Stick on the thing that you need, not the thing that you want.

3. Pump Tyres

Pump Tyres? What does it have to do with saving money? Did you know that ensuring your tyres are properly inflated helps with petrol mileage? If they are deflated, you can actually lose up to five percent in fuel.

Alyssa Say: I have heard about it before. But i have no idea how to pump my own car tyres. But people said its easier than doing the bicycle tyres. Anyway, maybe that answer my question why my fiancee always make sure our car tyres is inflated properly. Good Job Mr Yong!

4. Avoid Driving In Peak Hour

Driving at the busiest ties of the day (on your way to work and o your way home) can result in you using a quarter of your tank for each hour that you spend in bumper-to-bumper traffic.
Alyssa Say: This is true. I agree with this tips 101%. No doubt! 

5. Turn Off The Plug
Switch off electrical items at the power points when you're not using them. "You can save up to RM400 a year by doing this, maybe more." 
Alyssa Say: This thing should be applied. Especially in using air- conditioning. I know people who always turn on their air- conditioning in the room just to keep the room extra chilly. I always do that in a hotel room. But, no matter where you are, I don't think its necessary to do that. Because it will surely harm the mother nature. Try not to do that as a habit, it will not only save the mother nature. It will also help you in saving lots of money!! $$$$$

6. Shop To A List
Shop to a list, buy only what you need, use everything you have and be creative with your leftovers, like making them into lunch. Also, stick your receipt up on the fridge as a reminder to eat what you bought, and once you finished a food item, cross t off.
Alyssa Say: From all the 6 tips above. I think this is the most useful tips here. Especially the tips where they ask you to stick the receipt on your fridge to remind you things that you already bought. Forgetting things that i already bought always happen to me, and once i found out that i have those things. It is already too late since it already reach their expiry date. Anddd.. YES. It's a waste of money.

Well, I hope those tips above do help you making your saving even better. Trust me, just by applying those simple tips above, IT WILL MAKE A DIFFERENT. Happy Trying!
