Mask of Magnaminty is face mask that can be used as back mask too. This mask contains China clay and fresh peppermint that helps to deep clean your pores and leaves your skin squeaky clean. Ground Aduki beans is also included in this mask to exfoliate flaky and dry skin. Other ingredients such as vanilla is used to calm redness and honey to soothe troubled skin. Mask of Magnaminty is one of the LUSH's 'fresh' range therefore you need to use the mask in the duration given. For example, my Mask of Magnaminty was made on the 26th November 2013 and will expire on 26th February 2014. The duration is 3 months but just check your tub for the expiration date. The reason for the short shelf life is because LUSH 'fresh' range does not contain chemicals that usually used to keep a product's shelf life longer.

LUSH is against animal testing and the plastic pot or tub is made out of 100% recycled plastic.

The texture of Mask of Magnaminty is very thick. It has harsh particles which I believe is the Aduki beans. When you touch it, it is a bit wet and cooling. The scent is definitely peppermint. The way to apply this mask is as same as you apply any clay mask. Cleanse your face, apply the mask all over your face and neck, avoiding your eye and lips area. Let it sit on your face for 15 minutes. 

The moment I apply it on my face, I can instantly feel the cooling sensation. I really like that! Reaching towards the end, I can feel my skin tightening and you know it's time to wash it off. After 15 minutes, rinse it off with water. Massage your face while rinsing it off. Despite being a clay mask, Mask of Magnaminty does not leave my skin dry. I do not experienced the 'tight-feeling' after using. As a matter of fact, my skin feels soft and supple, I enjoy that feeling!  I have dry/combination skin so at first I thought this would be too drying for me, but I was wrong. I use this mask once or twice a week after exfoliating my skin to get best result. What I noticed is that, whenever I have break outs and I use this mask, it totally helps to calm down the redness. I highly recommend Mask of Magnaminty if you have acne-prone skin or if you have that occasional breakouts. I can really feel that this mask really pulling out all the impurities I have on my face.This mask can be a great deep cleanse mask!  I love this mask so much but sadly LUSH is not available in Malaysia. WHY OH WHY??? :(  But if you happens to be in Singapore (that's the closest to Malaysia) or any parts of the world that have LUSH, make sure to check out this mask. ^_^

Assalamualaikum and hello lovelies!

I was so busy last weekend with my baking jobs to the extend sometimes I don't even have the time to eat. Sometimes I just forget, well, that happens all the time. I can not focus on something else besides finishing my cakes. When everything is settled, then I can relax. Since I am living with my parents, my mom usually does the cooking. Whenever I am busy she will always have food on the table. Thank you Ma. :) 

Anyway last weekend my parents went back to our hometown Perak and I was left at home with my brother. I was dead tired and I don't have the energy to cook. So I decided to try out a food delivery service by Foodpanda. Yes! food delivery to my doorsteps! How awesome is that?? :D The website is so easy to navigate, you won't get confused. But just a heads up, make sure you key in the right location (I will tell you more about this so keep on reading).  Without wasting anymore time, let's get started, shall we? ^_^

Go to  Foodpanda website ------   http://www.foodpanda.my/

Choose your CITY and LOCATION.

Okay so my address is in Cheras but technically my place is closer to the Pandan area. However when I typed my address (as in my housing area) , the location did not appear. If I were to choose Cheras, it will be so far away from my home where as if I choose Pandan area, it will be so near to my place so logically I chose Pandan Jaya area. I clicked at FIND FOOD NOW and the  website takes me to another page consists of restaurant listings.

There were quite a selection if you are staying in the main city centre. Scrolling down the choices, I decided to order from TGI Fridays. :D My brother didn't want any food so I ordered for myself only. Click to the GO TO MENU and it will take you the restaurant's menu.

I decided to have the Chicken Caesar Salad and 6pcs of Buffalo wings. My favs from TGIF! :) Just click ADD at the menu and it will be automatically added into your order (Look at the right side of the page). The total amount will be inclusive of  tax and delivery charges. After finish selecting your order, click PROCEED TO CHECKOUT.

You need to fill in your details as above. If you have additional instructions or comments, you can include them in the comment box. I want my salad dressings to be separated  from the salad so I wrote that. You can actually pick up your food , meaning you just pre-order your food and self collect them at the restaurant.

There are 3 ways to pay for your food either by CASH ON DELIVERY, PAYPAL or ONLINE PAYMENT. I chose to pay with PAYPAL. After selecting your payment method, click PLACE ORDER NOW.

Check your total amount to ensure it is the right order.  Key in your email for PAYPAL account as well as the password to log in your PAYPAL account.

Once you are logged in, your details will be displayed in this page. If everything is correct, click PAY NOW.

You are done!  The confirmation email or text message will be sent to you and all you need to do now is to wait for your food! Yipeeeee no need to go out and search for food. :D The food will be delivered in ONE hour, so all you have to do now is relax. Hehe

BUT, I received a call from Foodpanda customer service stating that the location I chose is incorrect because I was supposed to choose the Cheras area. I explained to him that my location is not included in the listings.  -_-  Well, I was a bit bumped about it but the guy from the customer service said he will check with the delivery boys if any of them can send my food. This is because they have delivery boys for certain area so my route is not in their way. I asked him if it's not possible to deliver my food, can I get a refund and he said yes. He asked me whether this is my first time ordering from Foodpanda and I said yes. He apologized to me because all of this happened but he said he will call me back to confirm. So he called me back and he said one of  the delivery boys will send the food to my home. But he did say that delivery time will take slightly longer because the delivery man is not familiar with the area.  Woot woot! Thank you so much, I appreciate it! :) I didn't get the guy's name from the customer service, thank you for helping me out and thank you for the great service. ^_^

About one and a half hours later.....

My food arrives!! :) And they separate my salad dressings too. Yeay! (or they usually do that?)

Don't you think it is super easy to order your food via online? The best part is you can choose for the restaurant listings and you are not bound to one restaurant only. But I do wish they will widen up the restaurants selection because when I search for Cheras Leisure Mall, there were only 13 restaurants available where as there are 71 restaurants to choose from if you are living in Pandan Jaya area. But overall, I am happy with their great customer service, easy navigation of their website and I love the fact they have 3 payment options to make it easier for everyone. Do you know you can download Foodpanda apps in your smartphone too? For Iphone users, search Foodpanda in your App Store and as for Android users search the apps in your Google Play! ^_^

1. LUSH : Mask of Magnaminty (RM51.33/ AUD16.94)

Yes I know, I have been talking about this non stop. I am almost done with the post but unfortunately I accidently deleted the draft post. So stupid of me. I don't want to go into that. Urghhh -_-  Anyway I will redo the post, so hang in there ok, I am so sorry! :( Anyway I included this mask in my 2013 Beauty Favourites. This mask is awesome. I absolutely love it! Wait for my review okayyyyy.

2. JUICY COUTURE : Viva La Juicy EDP Spray 30ml  (RM78/AUD26)

I bought the EDP in Perth Airport, right before departing to KL. Honestly I wasn't sure about the scent, I just want it because the bottle is so cute and the price is such a bargain. At first I thought the scent is quite similar to my Burberry Brit perfume. But after using it for quite sometimes,  I fell in love with the scent. I am not good in describing scent but this perfume is a florally sweet scent. I like the last note of the perfume, it is so sexy. ^_^

3. ETUDE HOUSE : Eye Shadow Brush (RM19)

I bought this end of December during their buy 1 free 1 sale. I mainly use it for transition colour on my crease but it works well for blending too. The bristles is soft and the short handle makes the application easy. I have nothing to complaint about it. 

4. NATURE REPUBLIC : Botanical Eco Crayon Lip Rouge in #1 (RM31.90)

I am not a big fan of bright lip colours. I have always been into nude shades. But when I swatched this lip crayon for the first time, I knew I need it in my collection. It is a fuchsia shade which is buildable. You want a subtle look, use it lightly. For that bold lips, layer it up baby! It is gorgeous! Do you want a full review on this? :)

5. BENEFIT : The PORE fessional Agent Zero Shine (RM115)

For this month, I have been loving the English Tea Shop "Apple Rosehip Raspberry Ripple" organic tea that I bought in Fremantle, Australia. I am a coffee addict, at times I always feel If I don't drink coffee every morning, I won't have a productive day. I am trying to change up a bit of my morning routine by incorporating organic tea in my breakfast. Of course I do not want to completely stop drinking coffee (I don't want to), I try to alternate between coffee and tea every morning. This tea is certified organic and it is naturally caffeine free. The taste is not like the typical tea taste, this is a fruity tea with a lot of sourness. The tea contains raspberries, sweet apples, hibiscus and rosehip that act as anti-oxidant and also pomegranate for that extra taste. I add a teaspoon of organic agave to reduce the sourness. I only bought a box of 20 sachets (RM15/AUD5) and I am almost out of it. I need to search for new organic tea. :)

Alhamdulillah, my 2014 started with a bang. I was given the opportunity to be featured in Utusan Malaysia, 'segmen Blogger Pilihan' in the 11th January 2014 edition. I talked about my online business, Little Bakerina and my passion for baking. I would like to say thank you to Ruby for the opportunity and Yuji for the wonderful write-up. Never in a miliion years I would have thought to be featured in a newspaper, talking about my passion. I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to all my supporters especially my family, Babah, Mama, Kak Long, Kak Ngah and Qypot, my boyfriend, my friends and of course my loyal customers. I love you guys, no words can describe how grateful I am to meet all the lovely people in my life. Thanks you so much! :') 

This is my second highlight of the month. I never baked a 3 tiers cake before and I am honoured to be given the trust to bake the wedding cakes. I don't always take wedding cakes order because I feel is not my calling. haha anyway, this is the first time I baked a 14 inch, 3 layers chocolate cake. It is huge man! I would never thought I can pull it off. I feel so accomplished because there's always a first time in everything right? If I don't push myself, I would never know my capabilities. :)

Okay guys, that's all for now. I hope you enjoyed reading this post. ^_^ See you darlings soon!

Till then,

Assalamualaikum and hello guys!

I am so sorry for uploading my DAY 3 so so late. I was so occupied with other stuff and today I am finally free to upload this post. Honestly I just want to show some photos I captured on this day. Today is all about the nature. Walk-trail, tree climbing, just absorbing the nature goodness. ^_^

If you haven't read my first and second part of my Perth 2013 series, kindly read that first and come back to this post okay? hehe :D

1st Day : Kings Park and Botanic Garden, Fremantle Market and Margaret River

2nd Day : Cape Leeuwin, Cape Naturaliste and Busselton Jetty

Our first stop was the Gloucester National Park which is located in Western Australia, 281km south of Perth and about 3km from Pemberton, WA.  The reason we went there because my brother in law wants to climb up the Gloucester Tree which is 60 metres tall equivalents to 200ft! @_@ It is so high, I am not kidding you! The tree is used to served as fire lookout tower back in those days.

You see that steel thingy (i don't know what it's called) well honey, that's what you stepped on to get to the top. No harness, no safety at all. 

My brother in law climbing up the tree!! He's the only one doing it. not for me definitely, hahahaha

Yeahhh picnic time! :P

Phewwww! He made it! Congrats Abg Izal, so proud of you! :)

If climbing up th tree is not your cup of tea, you can opt for walking trail. The Bibbulman Track has 3 distance that you can choose from, 400m, 800m and 10 km. Originally we just want to go through the 400m but we ended up with 800m! Kinda nervous because we thought we lost our way, but no worries, they have signage (you can follow the colour of the signage). Pheww.. takut jugak ok because there were signage 'Beware of snakes" Yikes! -_-

Haha over!

Mikel & Ookish

I absolutely recommend this park if you enjoy walking and doing nature stuff. A great place for a picnic too. Relax and enjoy the nature. The weather was perfect that day. And the most important thing that I did not get any mosquitoes bites in the forest. hehe :P

We went to the Visitor Centre afterwards  to collect Abg Izal's certificate for climbing up the tree. and I could not pass on these lovely flowers. Oh my gosh, I wish my future home to have small gardens with lovely flowers. So pretty! ^_^

We headed to Busselton Jetty for the train ride!  

Sorry I don't have many pictures in the UWO, there were just to many people inside. -_-

The train ride is pretty awesome. I love it because I don't think we have that in Malaysia. The ocean is breathtakingly beautiful with crystal clear water. The wind, oh the weather is perfect even though it's a bit chilly. I can imagine myself relaxing and hangout by the beach for hours. ^_^

For more information on Busselton Jetty, click HERE!

After spending some time at the Jetty, we went into town and check out what they have in store. It is a pretty laid back town, not hectic at all. Most of the buildings there is one or two floors only.

Aduhaiiiii -_-

:D

We reached our apartment in Margaret River at about 7pm (I think). We were so tired but hungry so we cooked, ate and slept early because we are heading to Perth on the next day, woot woot! Okay guys, that's all for now. Day 4 will be up soon! Hahah okay maybe not soon, gimme some time. LOL

Till then,

xoxo,
