</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Mmm..Those donuts and cakes look ''delicious'',don't they? When I first saw this picture I thought they were just some of those yummy pastries from a cake shop baked right out of the oven. But they are more than that actually. These are all made from soap, ''freshly baked'' by hand and they vary in shapes and patterns. Good for the eyes but not to be eaten. <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It usually takes a long time to be ''baked'' by hand, and even longer than baking ordinary cakes. Soap cakes are perfect for special occasions or for gifts to friends. These yummy-licious soap cakes smell good enough to eat and are usually rich in moisturizing ingredients to feed your skin. I really love how the soaps were decorated just like real cakes and they all looked real pretty.<br />

If you promised yourself you would shape up your diet, why not scroll down and grab the easiest and healthiest habits to start today. Here's a list of New Year Food Resolutions to kickstart your new year with a slender body. =) <div><div><div><div><div><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420714542613922770" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 396px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 253px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivNdc06aeJ9vp34aFQu6ULuf2K27OLtHJARmywAfAzNAHQxCGshCYIbf9GVhE_MW0eyJ-GN5g6Mxlei99c7OM4rTurfJapPdQYrtd-UM_Rx1yBPHMm55rWPeB5h1VDQOc5sxL71w2Qoz98/s400/food-labels-101-1.jpg" border="0" /> No.1: If your food has a label, don't eat it. Spend less time reading the fine print for calories and grams of fat by eating stuff that has no label. Whole fruits,vegetables, grains and food that haven't been chemically processed have no labels.<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420714517799742386" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 391px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 250px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhm18RfM-KU2hZsSQmBqpa0rLphI1e9hgJv1RIlNJu6-qvzcF7M3Dh9HPuxxtnESIoEYrTTG_2-nL2NY-KtABlGgbePfG4EH3N8NxOoqHM-WtgwTVLcF8x_dK_5wRbRQmib66eKxhL41wz/s400/broccoli.jpg" border="0" />No.2: When you are in doubt, saute with garlic.

I am sure that many of you lack the awareness of cervical cancer, a type of disease which kills approximately 300,000 women globally every year. If you girls are not aware of the high risk of getting cervical cancer, then I think it's about time you buck up.<br /><br />This post mainly talks about everything you need to know regarding HPV and cervical cancer,including the types of vaccine and the immunization schedule. I've narrowed down the research so as you can get the very best information. Hope you'll find it useful. =)<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416197087299888578" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 350px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 264px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs2T1z544wM9ZhBE1pIUqVCDlQjTMlYKIQn0z-QF70CbTjgNcxXfDeQkzi8aFln-MbhC5kDi20XFhgQGGfB_odxrQ2eQ59nINfF-lu9M5jtpflM8dRuILg_B4KEpQF4TmoEsdL-vE0wvyq/s400/hpv.jpg" border="0" />Okay, first thing first. You must be wondering what is HPV. HPV is known as Human Papillomavirus, is a viral infection that spreads by skin to skin through sexual contact. HPV is a group of over 100 different viruses, which at least 30 strains known to cause different types of cancer. And one of them is the cervical cancer.<br /><br />How can you get HPV?<br /><br />HPV is transmitted through vaginal, anal, or oral sex. It can manifest itself in flesh-colored warts that show up one to eight months after you become infected. However, some people infected with HPV have no symptoms at all, which means they could pass it on without even knowing it. Pretty scary isn't it?<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416197082563071186" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 335px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 250px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBcEjFMyKns_HpziGbMMJe3ahOgfmExf2zPcCuvSoDeOBWLL0qz_ygwqdwCmWm5AUqQ1REz9KYpqHJ7flXbE0UAlIkKAFCiw1gHoO4RZgSMthqCxMc5vWWiGb4GYfH8FENeorxjabgn7my/s400/hdc_0001_0003_0_img0277.jpg" border="0" /> <p>Aside from causing genital warts, if a woman has HPV and it doesn't go away on its own, it's possible that the virus can cause abnormal cells to develop in the lining of her cervix. If not discovered early and treated, these abnormal cells can turn into cervical cancer. Cervical cancer is a disease that affects the cervix in the female reproductive system, as illustrated above.<br /><br />What are the symptoms of Cervical Cancer?<br /><br />Many women often pass these symptoms off as PMS or ovulation pains because they mimic common ailments. The symptoms include abnormal bleeding (can be heavy or light bleeding during the month), unusual heavy discharge, pelvic pain, pain during urination and bleeding between regular menstrual periods, after sexual intercourse, douching, or pelvic exam.<br /><br /></p><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416197095690188274" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 349px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 262px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6WuflawYHTyJtMJN-LaaShuAH2yd6OBWYZvM7vgy6MmUb1F6N9HK063FjIA6YzKNEyFM0dN9JqvOqlHKbQDd1PPjaa8e4ld6QnwA_a_YYwj8UXE8jT6RJvAtKa-Hsq_sdgvmkz2XBifNs/s400/vaccination.jpg" border="0" /> Now it's starting to get on your nerves, so what can you actually do about it? Or we say, prevent it before its too late? The answer is pretty much obvious; get a vaccine if you can.<br /><br />Now back to my own experience. Before the injection took place, the doctor explained to me there are 2 types of vaccine, Cervarix and Gardasil. The doctor suggested Gardasil for me, as it protects against four types of HPV (types 6, 11, 16, 18) compared to Cervarix which only protects 2 types. It can be given to girls as young as nine years old, and any woman can get the vaccine if she feels at risk. After all, people used to say, prevention is better than cure, right?<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416197069747362258" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 191px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPbewsN56o27oeQnhvJQqL2JH31l_fgRoMpX3JI1cLZOaI4VKg7MSdomTb29MYTamrF0Ui1M9PKb8onFX0wMkVOnNAAmB8O9UUslz9cKbUIB7rhzg1koTBvZRgr_LPkua1MuhWPN9nUahH/s400/Gardasil-logo.jpg" border="0" /></p><p>So, I just had my first dose before proceeding to my second dose which is due on Chinese New Year. For your information, the Human Papillomavirus vaccine (HPV) is recommended in a three-dose schedule with the second and third doses administered two and six months after the first dose. Remember, you must have three doses to form a complete protection!<br /><br />Also, get consultation from your doctor before you proceed to get your injection. You might want to ask for Gardasil vaccine instead of Cervarix, as Gardasil protects against 4 types of HPV. You can also go for a Pap Smear test which can detect abnormal cervical changes years before they become cancerous and begin to produce symptoms.<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416197077559164418" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 404px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 294px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicLQoa3xtCTlXvYXdbtbmy7JktdxAV8hcrjGm7vUhI0-UFlRr552E6HMnpnuEy5oWO4Q7IOI5uSe0NXXOQ8bwIU1h7984PyRVUKu7qD0iGM18SnoG86RnQ5b_LzufltV_QCFUPz2xNsTWH/s400/398729970_8e97b12689.jpg" border="0" /></p>Credit to About.comYuen Yoonghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13433397787534915685noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2031644187848389638.post-57988640444930963432009-12-12T04:19:00.000-08:002009-12-11T11:49:58.614-08:00Do-it-Yourself Beauty GuidesOkay,admit it.You love to pamper yourself. After a tiring day jammed up with lots of stress, your face shows significant signs of fatique. You want your skin to look gorgeous, and yet you're too lazy to go outdoors to shop for your skin care products. If this is so, then now's the time to get creative. Head on to your kitchen cabinet to grab those ingredients and start playing mix and blend.<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413992444579308034" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 380px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 251px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCl-nYYkaBDrPLkTRwBJKtnai0cDdJqX89siKZ8FXMQRZih3IZ07ylin9rE4fT7qTT2ELw_WRb5YRF7_Y61Vft-YqFstfbyPQg3cFgKGHyPqlWqxg3vFLUqX7KEjYfZe7aUYKu_Hd8AdBN/s400/200462932-003.jpg" border="0" /> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414016537132721858" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 310px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 224px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgahRQlI8Un1Z39tos32n_lqP2yB7i01RX7zsZagL6mzjPsyrvRxekcBo-YYO7k1CDp-YSSTblpxFRS3wU1Yx__IOv56ScL2vuuvBVx9sIDMgribCzpJ9IpJceMMtSJfEwIsMBjl7p8GqC3/s400/hot%2520tea.jpg" border="0" />Don't have a face steamer at home? Just remember the next time when you want to treat yourself with a cuppa hot tea, try and have some steam facial right up from the hot boiling tea. Better still, if you have a bigger mug to fit your face just right. Oh yes, do this before you wash your face with a cleanser or even before dabbing on some moisturizer. Face steaming opens up your pores and this way it helps to easily absorb the nutrients from your skin care products. <p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414026079299131410" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 318px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 259px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxaVYE1qPIBI1wTVW9dXRWbCK2KG0GYNitNhpKuANOefBdNNAgRpDNMPZUej0FuBTomVbVDZEDBTwYuiPhGw37B5VnTwOh8Cc8Yx8859mqEH7fu4Mzjd1s4t-xxajEdeof9Pt24ZgkpJhD/s320/the.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413991855826156418" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 289px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 233px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGtGudoY9KVztJKLG1f32CUbodiQZPhep8AghKcP5_W94uzhK-3vV6Xo8MRrpKvnHgGUx4ouwYoF1MR5aXXsogw9rRzKcFDIk92vXOQDxvUlJcqdXFbu1ASuKb2FnwvDBmaBWkYtTg1sO6/s400/untitled.bmp" border="0" />Besides using green tea powder for consumption, you can also use it to make your own homemade green tea facial mask! All you need is a tablespoon of water and plenty of powder to form a smooth green paste.

If you want to spice up your mist spray, add your favourite essential oil or whatever that comes to your mind.Have fun. =)Yuen Yoonghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13433397787534915685noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2031644187848389638.post-25288023606620684312009-12-11T23:00:00.000-08:002009-12-06T06:03:06.160-08:00Hada Labo Skincare Range<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411359454714889298" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 380px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 280px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx3oD7anZPcQAXElH0zwNkmMvxxbU7lEjkuq5fa2nXLrcWjpsMXP42n5CEHPEhr4PaYZ8xnzPTS0sLYLRe55rBhBjYXnRRFZsdEBgwGk4uTWPd4LnHDQ7tz8NL6cf-ml9598n-dvPwFGuG/s400/Hada-Labo.jpg" border="0" /> There was once I flipped through my favourite magazine and saw this advertisement that attracted me. It was about the Hada Labo range of skincare products from Japan. This bottle of Super Hyaluronic Acid (SHA) moisturizing lotion displayed on the page was claimed to have sold at a rate of 1 bottle every 4 seconds in Japan. Amazed with the popularity, I went to a Guardian pharmacy to have a quick glance at those products. I wanted to buy a bottle of the said SHA moisturizing lotion since it was claimed to be super beneficial. But unfortunately it was out of stock..Phewww..try my luck next time.

With the Perfect X Simple philosophy, Hada Labo uses only the finest , purest and highly effective ingredients to provide the ultimate result of a healthy and beautiful skin.<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411359438837269890" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGownOenonHCw8JkRKMmqg4fhRXywwGFvmCxqYQf7Gi5JpJFkdWpJAyh7WEO9GtA9F7kzeid2rvAdlww14pJXtEal6WadmT7CsLEJsXB6w4huDy8Vl1PFvmTdbAY-aUhT3jZPsBrIUEegf/s400/hadalabo.png" border="0" />This bottle of Super Hyaluronic Acid (SHA) moisturizing lotion hydrates the skin almost instantaneously and helps to preserve skin's optimum moisture balance. Its hydrophilic nature helps to lock in moisture as it deeply penetrates into the layer of your skin to nourish from within. It is reportedly so effective that one bottle is sold every 4 seconds in Japan, making it the country's No.1 best seller for face lotion. It is recommended to be used after your daily cleansing regime. <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411359459557555762" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 293px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh02QtVBxxbKTzsFjy4Il03UYBir208FoSTWJW3MW45X1wU7ikuZ4DlealY-A_B4H68HYwvIsrRrFMDgc1Lwn8Jj8HfWSX6vsOqP0we3Pbtz8XIk__CLzGO_63Wq-IrVsRoyNeg5Zp40n5g/s400/20091017003258281.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div>What is the main benefit of Super Hyaluronic Acid (SHA)?<br /><div></div><div>Did you know that 1g of Hyaluronic Acid retains up to 6 litres of water?

As a student, I've always liked to purchase 100 yen shop's products mainly because almost all of the products were affordably priced and the location is rather convenient for me.<br /><br />You must be wondering, since the products are so cheap the quality would definitely not be good. Well, I don't know about you, but I find that I can fully utilize those goods that I have purchased so far. Of course, for those who opt for premium quality products, just go ahead and get them at premium stores.</span><br /></span><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#cc9933;"><span style="color:#000000;"></span></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#cc9933;"><span style="color:#000000;"></span><br /></div></span><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#cc9933;"></span><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407639092873448226" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 402px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 289px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-yXuru-HyBevfwDFOgNI9JRDg07SlCmKR6F3dIpA4kCtb09lV6aLoqKM0SdRy4HmjB15i7tHSwWB7UJ5WiL3fHQ6CsTXAVtXQ4L2wRB-i1ucgyJiuaIFlVVLDcWoMtfPEMvhGho7TXS0f/s400/menu_l%5B1%5D.jpg" border="0" /><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="color:#996633;"><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#cc9933;">I can also easily stop by at the shop for some snow ice to relief myself from this hot weather. =) Oh yes, you'll definitely spot a cute penguin at a counter that looks like this....</span><br /></span><br /></span><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407666185972090082" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 292px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 356px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhZCCArkZzu-WEvnHRJmk5kZxh_JwTldxMI7pIlANxVWycSANSRHjcn6WGE6Nfsc8f1VmBUzD_2p0ZEXpsasvOIuAkLsZFg6oH8ugCkZPJrn9MWvLs1qJSKdYlpKfU6Ai1awRA4BKXJauE/s400/penguin+edit.jpg" border="0" /> <span style="font-family:georgia;color:#cc9933;">I must admit, not all the household products were imported from Japan, but those foodstuff and beverages definitely were.

We were quite hungry and wanted to try something big and delicious. That was when we spotted the bombastic logo,Bubba Gump Shrimp & Co. Restaurant & Market, and straight we headed to our ideal place. We really liked the ambience of the restaurant, and the ''Good Ol' Times feel we had when we first entered the restaurant. </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398078884516852402" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjakutjRUJ59u34S3cLMzGanbhRCcG-t05EfRNNpjkutK4SIuvNKhdcqSkqnIYdOKH_KILAuT2ZyIpGKKlEKODH0pWP4Qgk1gkCw0FGopnKnRIsXrxxivwI-sCSnwRcF3KnIjh_2sYnaI_/s400/5119_96601512746_717807746_2041684_1127100_n.jpg" border="0" />But before I tantalize you with their delicious menus, I would like to talk about some interesting regarding the history of the company. =P </div><p>The Bubba Gump Shrimp & Co. Restaurant and Market consist of a chain of seafood restaurants and was inspired by the Forrest Gump film (1994). Watched the movie before? if you don't you can get to watch it during your dining at the restaurant becauses they keep re-playing the movie on tv provided. Nowadays Bubba Gump restaurants are operating worldwide, including Mexico,Japan,Indonesia,the Philippines,Malaysia and Hong Kong.</p><div align="left">The first ever Bubba Gump's restaurant was incorporated in Monterey,California by the distributor of Forrest Gump. Another interesting fact is that the name of the restaurant was derived from the movie's (Forrest Gump) main characters called Benjamin Buford ''Bubba'' Blue and Forrest Gump. It was Bubba who suggested opening the shrimp business, and after Bubba's death Forrest pursued the idea of making the business a success.</div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">Here's plenty of delicacies that we had for our meal.

And for those who actually want to save some hard-earned $$$, here's some tips that I would like to share with you. But before I show you some DIY hair treat that won't burn a hole in your wallet, it's good to know the benefits of masking your hair. </p><p align="left"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392491867611249906" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZfJ9O12vqbmnxUYFoDi8n1FzCFbQty51zvCy0UgIRuK6KSceAKb7C4L6CPQ9xXaHRkWUQdn1TXOjBQecTde8EekksxIQMqYXjyLbLzEI5TjZ6UQd417kDqqXyDZM3ZHIWC7WpYSHcA9Wl/s320/xin_14040423102606085562.jpg" border="0" /><br />Why Mask?Good haircare means making sure your hair is being fed with lot of nutrients and letting it form a protective layer naturally. The best tool is none other than a hair mask. Masking hair at least twice a week for a month is actually sufficient for you to eliminate frizz and obtain manageable hair.

<div><div><div><div><div><strong>Take time to chew your food:</strong><br />
</div><div>My friends and loved ones used to tell me that I tend to eat at a very slow pace and always urge me to ''faster eat lah...''! Little did they actually know that by eating slowly it would actually do some good, in the sense of a better digestion. Wouldn't you want to enjoy the flavours,textures and smells of your food by taking your time eating slowly?Okay, don't get me wrong if you are in a hurry..but it's worth a slow down if you have the quality time to sit down and enjoy your meal. Studies show that eating slower will improve your digestion,as it gives your stomach more time to ''process'' the food. Stuffing your entire meal down into your throat for 5 minutes isn't gonna do you any good and you're likely to suffer from indigestion. Do you know it takes your stomach about 20 minutes to produce the hormones that deliver the message to your brain that you're full. If you slow down, you allow yourself more time to feel full and this gives you a better chance of stopping before you ''get stuffed''. So, chew your food slowly.<br />

</div><div><strong>Avoid eating while having stress:</strong><br />
</div><div><div><div><div><div>When my exams are near or my assignments are almost due, I tend to binge on a lot of junkies. This probably explains why it is not such a good idea to eat while you are experiencing some stress. It will only make you wanting to eat more..! When you're feeling stressed, you might have the desire to crave on something sugary sweet or those fast foods you've always loved. This will not make you feel great, but instead it will only cause you to put on weight. So, the next time when you're stressed out, try some exercises like yoga or pilates to ease your mind. Head on to the music stores to get some dance workout DVD and sweat your worries out. By doing you can achieve a great body too =). Well girls,just go to the mall and shop till you drop!(if you have got the money) =P<br />

<br />
<div><strong>Listen to your body</strong>: <br />
Sometimes you're not even sure that you're really hungry. You may really be thirsty, so try drinking a glass of water first. During a meal, stop eating before you feel full. It actually takes a few minutes for your brain to tell your body that it has had enough food, so eat slowly. Eating just enough to satisfy your hunger will help you remain alert, relaxed and feeling your best, rather than bloat your stomach.<br />

<div><strong>Eat early,eat breakfast:</strong> <br />
</div><div>Starting your day with a healthy breakfast can jumpstart your metabolism, and eating the majority of your daily caloric allotment early in the day gives your body time to work those calories off. Also, eating small, healthy meals throughout the day, rather than the standard three large meals, can help keep your metabolism going and ward off snack attacks. <br />

This beauty product comes from Japan and is a kind of a gel-like type of mask in which it is used for firming and lifting up face. The sales assistant even gave me a free trial by applying the mask on my face to show me that it actually works wonders. A few minutes later,I was being led by the sales assistant to take a glance at the mirror to see the results. I wasn't sure whether my face was a little uneven all along or was it the magic of OxyMask. To ensure that the immediate results can be seen, the lady only applied one side of the my face just like the one shown on Ladies First Tv program (Nu Ren Wo Zui Da). The minute she applied the gel onto my face I could feel the bubbly tingling sensation,as the oxygen is penetrated into skin to activate cells.<br /><br /><div><div></div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387610798144821394" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 362px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9rqKm5GgLnzRWMOEbY9DYKucoZKT0bj81x3eSNOVHeloz87Rl-Yup9c4teuGN40X-AYJDM2dyhDlYP6dzh5lKVj6UNcS9eGYqA6JlinNpUmFtUff8noGS4ZaUl5KGL6gJ08cpecbBUAT3/s400/1680001.jpg" border="0" /><em>Ingredient:</em></div><div>OxyMask contains a unique formulation, OxyPearcalin, which derived from a combination of oxygen and beauty ingredients that deeply absorbs into the deeper skin layer.

But before you actually book your tickets for good, maybe you might want to gather some useful information regarding the places of attraction, culinary, types of transportation and the culture of the island. If you really love shopping and craving for delectable snacks and dishes, Taiwan is definitely one destination for shopaholics who can't help buying.. =P<br /><br />Taiwan, which is also known as Formosa(beautiful island) in Portuguese, is the largest island of the Republic of China (ROC). Usually people tend to think of Taiwan as the small, crowded island, but however it is also a place where you can enjoy a beautiful scenery at Alishan, Taroko National Park, Mt. Hehuan, to name a few. Taiwan is a hotspot for its beautiful hot springs, high mountains and stunning beaches too.<br /><br /><p align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385049139734107170" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 298px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 183px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMSM0ytRkEJ2wolR5H4aDmbJdlBq0E5QH7Vzk1u2ZYzHk6Hc5wIU1pET6a9tcl5j7k3VGexSBE9hhYFMzBM8MJP4TIm9Hsk4ihg6BOXX7lQAV1XI459T2yv5caLXhdU2pFZd3OW6nFtOI8/s320/Taiwan_1-09-a.jpg" border="0" /></p><br /><p align="center">The ''Taiwan Touch Your Heart'' continued to represent itself as a tourism logo on international promotions.

Taipei 101 is one of the 8 flagship destinations, so don't miss the chance to vist this unique building while you are at Taipei.<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386921529302328946" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBwRnYuu170PQDdLUSYDPtRcx7_yiNVjoWl2KXpRU0e8t3lUPvXUrzLHtvEhyphenhyphen56vKB0zEu6v7zaap0j5gFzkK32lo5GlLiLR-KCvzbiHW2WulWNktcD90NiBA21xpQnlRukA_ro-LbUqZt/s320/1_365873810l.jpg" border="0" />A photo of my Godmom and I standing at the entrance of Taipei 101</p><br /><div align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386921550131557554" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZEAWQ38b5Vi1v9DCAIZedLH25R5MR2V3bayl92TiFbmnw4dI-yyZm3SgpqYAFQu51cAcNsigv4DaefIvEcLxRcowRgs_jdXztxQCcCu4_BYaV1JlNaFIvRxdA9xVnIIxb6IvWNcIvHehX/s320/1_875287176l.jpg" border="0" />Moreover, tourists can also enjoy an exceptional shopping and dining experience at the Taipei 101 mall at its 828,000 sq. feet. The above photo was taken while I was having a heartiful meal at the Taipei 101 food court. If you do not fancy expensive dining at some fine restaurants you might actually want to consider eating at the food court,as the meals cost a whole lot cheaper.<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386921539441394802" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglP7uw6EGo4ZQ2XZ2eZOMNpO8tjctSdy5Si8CI0FZcuwgJWcIJWDGXcrz8Kh1Vh4DdlbeWybW2MTlyKBr-vKykyq4Cto4RSUrXT_mbKdPQ5scvr4oFdfXjkAYCkPRibicbUoXv8OgANnDE/s320/1_433961098l.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385084252365247090" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcN97A5zYjEub8IEDORpmp9AYwLrIUMD7Yu9HUKAG2F4pR8eaUo8Mv18nkbi6SbkVx3HfMOXCaMFA0UZlm2la4sUhdwvbaLbom9QDTVPpfpG8y-3L83iU32pqmUqaMz7rfTpa_4yZLFup-/s320/WU+Fen+Pu.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385078456014431186" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 218px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPKklZkzjHdXCUYlIhgI-JHYtdmtoAYuJrAEvBlTOqWIeDDy7rkaM_21pGpHbUAKL8OzXo3Zwu4zXC4JFvlpu2AW3xS-a5ahjHq_ydynIhUoMBoDKwAadJ4w9GuBnFU2Ohgkxf9eLrcHV2/s320/1_194809267l.jpg" border="0" /> Calling all shopaholics out there! Head on to Wu Fen Pu if you love inexpensive clothes. Wu Fen Pu is famous for its wholesale garment that houses over 1,000 little shops selling trendy clothes, shoes, bags and accessories.The clothes are mostly priced at NT100, which means about RM 11 for 1 piece of top. And I don't mean T-shirt, they are the types of clothing which you can see from the above photo. A great place for shopaholics who want the latest trends that won't burn a hole in their wallet. I bought a few when I was there because I had to rush to another location.. =) Feeling tired after long hours of shopping? Refresh yourself with a bowl of brown sugar ice with toppings according to your likings at at store nearby.<br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386938961151595474" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGbbk75HP7308D9FrFcza6u7Cmj3vAen3gaNY3bLGd98x3zrZzqdmCY2CcFw0CR3SkQpeAyfzaYNH19UQXknthiu_lieOFHYrpczOwabe_Kv5ymjqjlTKB7aZMLBEcGSkOf4l-jXH7e6sW/s200/1_576582199l.jpg" border="0" /><br />Xi Men Ding is another great destination to stop by.

Make your way to Ah Chung Mian Xian for a slurping treat. Famous for its oyster mee sua(noodles),this is definitely a must-try!! By the way, the stall itself has no tables and chairs, so customers have to stand outside while eating.

<br /></a>I absolutely love to indulge in a cuppa Japanese Green Tea at any time of the day.Not only is the aroma tantalizing, it contains many kinds of benefits if a person consumes green tea occassionally. Green tea is known for its anti-oxidant properties, which can prevent the body from the attack of harmful free radicals. If these harmful molecules are blocked from being released,diseases like cancer, cardiovascular disease and aging process can be prevented.

The Japanese are known for their longer life span, and one of their secrets is their regular consumption of green tea. This explains how green tea generally helps to slow down the aging process & promote longevity. Drinking green tea also helps to reduce weight too.<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384005459194457154" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkf1-IZj8GcsmsH8uS_EwnCWzGA9BWUfYb29Y9e9hfUUK-3WhCSxnR3k4ymteZdBzNKfIH9BVXQq7CGImWyuRTuOc4vS3h_sLU9Dwj3Q25mbikFNny-0VVCVOWQQL2KeImblWFCvFQitqk/s200/378-2T.jpg" border="0" />What is Matcha?
<br />
<br />Matcha is the green tea powder originated from Japan and is used for drinking alone, to make mochi,soba noodles and green tea ice cream. The fine green tea powder is made from gyokuro leaves that have been steamed and dried. All stems and veins are removed before the leaves are then grinded into fine powder.

If you're opting for a fairer skin, try using Pearl Powder instead.

Each pack contains 4 tubes of hot oil with an exclusive blend of 5 essential vitamins for shiny and healthy looking hair.It reconstructs damaged hair in just 1 minute! Good for people on-the-go..
