City of Love; Paris ♥♥

Summer = time for a relaxing holiday!

I recently took a quick one week trip to France's, city of love, Paris! I happened to visit at the hottest time in summer reaching temperatures of 30 degrees!

Although being drenched in sweat, my friend Amy and I were determined to see all the big landmarks in the short time that we had.

We were blessed to have someone to guide us where to go and how to get there, as my sister, Kwan (check out her blog here), very kindly asked her friend, Kamran, who lives in Paris, to help us around. He very generously found us a cheap motel next to one of the tourist attractions in Anvers. He was a great help and would like to thank him for being an amazing guide and friend.

I was surprised how easy it was to travel around Paris... It was just like London! Their metro station was run in exactly the same way as the underground. You could even 'jump' (or 'duck', if your a short person like me) over the barriers and save on a bit of euros (although I don't suggest it...hehee).

We managed to visit the big landmarks (multiple times) and also the smaller areas too! I had an amazing time and would love to visit back one day!

So enough talking, here are the pictures!

Yummy cocktails! (Although I can't remember what it was called)

Next stop: Barcelona!

Barcelona

This was the first trip i've ever gone with a group of friends; consisting of three people, excluding me. Two of which I had met through my University Halls and the other was my flatmates' friend from home. This experience was scary yet exciting. I would have never thought of going abroad with friends, as I have never felt that I would be very safe. However, I felt comfortable with my flatmates and hoping that I would be comfortable with the other friend too. The first day was not the best since I was quite badly ill from going out the night before we flew for a friends birthday. I remember waking up and feeling incredibly dizzy. I slept for a while, then ate some Pandol and slept again. I woke up refreshed! That Panadol was so strong! It probably had enhanced effects on me because I rarely take medicine when i'm unwell. The days consisted of walking, taking more photo's and walking again. We didn't really have a plan so we just improvised as the day came, which...

SANA Soy Milk Whitening Cream Review

Hello guys ! Today I'm going to review a product by SANA which is the soy milk whitening cream which was purchased in Hong Kong for HK$89 which is approx. £7.42 !! Packaging : This product actually caught my eye by its packaging as the style was simple yet attractive. The covering was clear and you can see what the actual container of the product looks like which is a plus point. Ingredients : After I picked up this product I looked at the ingredients. I heard that soy milk was good for the skin so I wanted to try out this product. What surprised me was that the product did not react at all with my dry and eczema skin, it actually hydrated it slightly. Texture : The cream is actually a gel. The product smoothes nicely onto the face but it leaves a 'film' on your face which keeps in moisture (makes your face look oily hehe), so i wouldn't recommend using it right before you go out =P ! Whitening : To begin with, I didn't see much effect on my skin and I...

Garnier Nutrisse truly blonde hair dye Review

Hello! I'm back with another hair dye review by Garnier! I've wanted to go blonde for the longest time, but having Asian hair made this a lot more difficult. Previous people I have spoken to who have also tried to go blonde ended up ginger. Nevertheless, this did not scare me! I was determined! This was my previous colour So, 30 minutes after! Time to rinse! oops, blurry Indoor lighting (with a terrible front camera) Alright, as you guys can see, it's not blonde bu more yellow. However, at the time I liked it - it was different. Outdoor lighting So, I ended up like a strawberry blonde? In order for me to get to a blonder shade, I needed to bleach again but I quite liked my current colour, so I left it as it is. My hair condition was surprisingly good after dying and a week or two after! But as you probably guess - the condition deteriorated, leaving my hair dry and brittle. All is w...
