100 Yen Shop: RM4.90 for most Household Products!

Ever since the opening of 100yen shop near the hostel that I am currently staying at, I would sometimes take a short trip to the shop to get those household products for my daily use. 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.

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.

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....

I must admit, not all the household products were imported from Japan, but those foodstuff and beverages definitely were. Here's a sneak peek on those stuff I bought from 100 yen. They were priced at RM 4.90 each. =) There are loads of affordable products to cater to your household needs and these are just some of the itsy-bitsy that I can show you..

I have been wanting to buy a teapot because I used to love drinking tea. Some of those glass teapots out there are kind of expensive and since I am staying at a hostel so it's not such a bad idea to buy a RM 4.90 teapot from 100 yen store.

Except for this mop which costs RM 9.90. But it is still considered cheap right if compared to other superior magic mop selling at higher prices. And of course in order to form a complete set there comes this packet of 30 pc towel for floor cleaning. Wet and dry towels are available at the store catered to your preference.

I absolutely love Japanese snacks and candies, although they were priced at RM 5.90. Some are worth buying though, while some I considered it a bit pricey. Cream collon is delicious, the taste,biscuits, and flavour are different from those chocolate and strawberry Loller from Glico Thai. You will know what I mean if you love snacks like I do. =P

Japanese rice sake..maybe I was not used to the taste but somehow I tried it anyway because it cost me RM 5.90 and previously I haven't experienced it. Next time if you wanna purchase affordable household goods, try 100 yen store if there happens to be one near your house. Why spend more when you can get them at cheaper prices.

Spend Less $$$ and STILL look gorgeous!!

Wanna save on some hard-earned bucks by learning a few simple tricks and yet look stunning?Here's some beauty-savvy tips that are worth taking into account for.....

Tips No 1: Mix the last few drops of your favourite perfume to an unscented cream. Voila, the result is a moisturizer that smells good on your bare skin.

Tips No. 2: Cinnamon oil can be used as an alternative for lip plumpers. For your information you can easily get it online on sites such as eBay or any drugstore. But before you actually apply please try to do a patch test to ensure you're free of allergy.

Tips No. 3: Next time when you're thinking of pampering yourself with a DIY facial mask, just mix honey and brown sugar together to form a scrub. This solution is gentle, non-abrasive and removes dead skin.

Tips No 4: If you are running low on face moisturizer, try using olive oil. It contains vitamin E, an antioxidant which is good for skin. All you need to do is place a few drops on a cotton pad and dab it on dry areas to moisturize skin.

Bubba Gump Shrimp & Co.

There was one time I went to Sunway Pyramid to shop for Prom Night evening gown and right after reaching we decided to have our lunch there. 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.

But before I tantalize you with their delicious menus, I would like to talk about some interesting regarding the history of the company. =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.

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.

Here's plenty of delicacies that we had for our meal. Super yummy!!But don't forget to try on their specialty-loads and loads of shrimp..............

During our dining, we ordered cheese baked seafood rice because it looked delicious on the menu. Real creamy and smooth enough to satisfy your tastebuds! With loads of cheese and seafood topped with cream sauce,it's definitely not for the faint-hearted.

Well,as for me, I ordered a B.B.Q back ribs for a nice try. But you'll need a lil' effort and patient to cut the meat though. =P

Strawberry-licious vanilla ice cream for desserts...

The chocolate version on the right side..
Calling all ''sweet tooth''..there are still many other yummy desserts to try. =)
Although these garlic bread looks ordinary,but actually they tasted really good. Experience it for yourself when you grab your first bite!

Run!Forrest,Run!

Oh, I forgot to mention that I ordered the value lunch ---> garlic bread + salad + BBQ back ribs + Ice Lemon Tea + Dessert= RM 55 =D

I am sure some of you might have heard of Bubba Gump's sountrack before. If you really like it just play it and enjoy! ^.^v

Etude House: Precious Mineral BB Cream

Just recently, I bought a Precious Mineral BB cream at the lovely korean Etude House during my typical shopping trip at Sunway Pyramid. With the intention of buying a tube of BB cream for daily use, right away i headed straight to the section which I found it most appealing to me: The new arrival Precious Mineral BB cream with a fancy packaging. The sales assistant immediately recommended me with the new products =)

There are basically 2 different types Precious Mineral catered for different types of skin. The white tube is more suitable for those who have oily skin, whereas the other pinkish tube is for those who have a rather dry skin. Be sure to choose the right one according to your type of skin. These products have 3 efficacies;

1) UV Protection (SPF 30/PA++)
2) Whitening

3) Anti-wrinkle

These Precious Mineral BB cream contains adenosine and arbutin for anti-wrinkle and whitening efficacies, with pearl infused sheer coverage. If you have oily skin, try using the white tube (#1 Sheer silky skin) because it helps to keep your skin looking matte. For those with dry skin, try using the pinkish tube (#2 Sheer glowing skin) as it promotes moisturized-looking skin with an instant glow.

Each 60gram tube enables you to use it for a long time and that's what makes it value-for-money. For your information, each tube is priced at RM 65.90, but I was given a 10% discount off the price =P. Probably due to its new arrival promotion though.

Oh yes, with a purchase of each Precious Mineral BB cream, one is entitled to 1 free cute,teeny version just like the ones shown above.You can even hang it on your mobile phones too.. ^.^

Plus, I was given a free poster of Lee Min Ho..hehe..
