Japan Hauls

Check out some of the goodies I got from my recent trip to Japan!

(We'll go from Left to Right)

1. Blazer and Shorts Co-ords

These are from H&M. I've been looking for blazer and shorts co-ords for a while now, so when I saw it on their website of course I wanted it. However, the H&M Jakarta don't have them in one set (they only came with the blazer). So when I saw them in H&M Kyoto (as a complete set), I snatched them right away. The fabric materials are fine, they're comfortable and fit very nicely. It looked nice too.

2. PureSmile gold and black pearl sheet masks

These are my favorite sheet mask brand from Japan. My personal favorite has got to be the gold and black pearl one. They came in a pack of 8. I bought them in Tokyu Hands, but you can find them in any Japanese cosmetic/drugstores.

3. Marvel Face Pack (Iron Man and Captain America)

I also love these characters sheet masks. This time I got The Avengers' series. I can't wait to use them.

4. KITTA washi tapes and Alphabet stickers ("K")

I geeked out a bit at Tokyu Hands' stationery aisle.

5. REPETTO Rose Mary Jane in black patent

6. Harry Potter's "Ravenclaw" pin

I got this pin at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Universal Studio Osaka.

7. VANS Old Skool sneakers

8. UNIQLO frilly white tops

9. Fringe earrings in tan

10. High waist trousers in military green

This trouser I also got from H&M on my last day. I saw it on the display mannequin, fell in love, tried it, bought it. End of story.

Current Favorites: Perverse 'Muse'

I really love cool sunglasses. I've had quite a collection. Classic edgy style mostly. None of those weird funky looking ones though.

My current absolute favorite at the moment has got to go to my 'Muse' sunglasses in white (here), which retailed at $42 a piece, from Perverse Sunglasses, a Los Angeles based sunglasses company.

Check out their website for more cool and chic sunglasses to your heart's delight. I highly recommend this brand. Not only they have so many varied selections, they are super affordable and well-made too. I'm eyeing on what to get for my next purchase.

Current Go To: John Masters Organics Scalp

After giving birth to my daughter, I experienced the worse postpartum hair fall/loss I've ever had. It was so bad that I can easily see some parts of my head thinning. I've tried a couple of different hair treatment/tonic. None of them worked to its max potential I think. And they made my scalp itch and my roots dry. A few months after giving birth, a friend of mine recommended that I should take biotin supplement (mine is this one). So I did. And it helped to a certain level. I've got baby hairs starting to grow exponentially. But it still lacking that volume, shine, and oomph that I want.

During my trip to Singapore back in February, I went to Sephora (of course) and went to the hair section. I found the John Masters products and rest my eyes on the Scalp Treatment spray. I bought it mainly because it is organic and there weren't many chemicals within the ingredients. So I decided to gave it a try for a month or two at least. Lo and behold, I've only been using it for over a month and I have found quite a dramatic change in my hair! I find more hairs are growing and thickening in the areas where it used to be thinning post-partum. My hair strands grew its size. Even my hairstylist noticed the difference when I went in her salon to get a trim. She said she could felt it when she grab my hair in a ponytail it felt thicker than it used to. My scalp didn't feel itchy and my roots aren't dry. My hair felt more luscious and easier to style. All in all, I'd say this is a product I live for! Success! Highly recommended if you are experiencing similar problems as me.

Shabu Shabu time!

December 31, 2017

It's New Year's eve. But it's going to be a super short post this time. I think I'm pretty knackered from the previous pack-unpack mode the last couple of days.. We didn't really plan anything special for New Year's celebration. But do read on anyway.

The One About Japan (part 5)

Gion, Kyoto, for some authentic Japanese experience

Let's visit Kyoto for one night!

The One About Japan (part 4)

The famous Gundam statue at Odaiba

This will be the last time I'll ever get to see its glory because they're tearing it down March 2017

Sorry I've been MIA. There has been quite a lot of things going on right now. Nothing major, mostly my own issues that needs to be sorted out. But I'm back now, and shall we return to my Japan trip recap story? We shall. Let's go.
