Review : Ginseng Flavoured Mouthwash? — Meet IBKEEO!

There is no denying that oral hygiene is an important element, one which we ought to give extra attention to. But how often do you actually use mouthwash after brushing our teeth. For me, that was something I’d do occassionally mainly because I’ve never been a fan of the strong minty aftertaste and the burning sensation that it leaves you with. All of my life, I’ve only known of these bright coloured minty mouthwashes only. Little do I know that there are actually another type of mouthwash… like the one from IBKEEO, which is a Premium Oral Hygiene Mouthwash.

Beauty: The SEP JEJU MASK PACK Review— Honey, Cactus, Tangerine, Green Tea

Growing up, I remember the days where I had my share of acne and skin problems during puberty. Gosh, it was such an awakward time as girls growing up and facing puberty. That time, I was naive and I didn’t actually know that there were a wide variety of beauty or skincare products to help address these problems. What I did back then, was to try out many different Do-It-Yourself (DIY) remedies to solve my acne problems. I’ve done tomato mask where I smashed raw tomatoes and placed it on my face, as I read that this will help me pimple scars. It’s hilarious thinking back those days, because the juice from the tomatoes will keep dripping down my face.

EAT: A gem of Japanese food in Butaya ISAKAYA, Sri Hartamas

For the longest time whenever my friends come to me for recommendations on where to eat isakaya,  I’d be stumped. Stumped because there are just too many options out there to choose from and I’ve only tried a handful.  There were mostly hits and misses, but I may have stumbled upon a place worth recommending to Japanese food lover.

In areas such as Hartamas, Damansara or Bangsar, you’ll definitely be able to find establishments like bars and pub at these “happening” locations. But for some us, travelling to these areas can be quite a nightmare-ish given the distance from where we live and considering how ridiculously jammed it can get. Parking in these areas are virtually impossible during peak hours.

This is when you wished that there would be a neighbourhood bar for you to chill and hang out without going through the hassle. Why, say hello to Vin Wine Bar, a cosy boutique wine bar located in quiter side of the bustling Sri Petaling area.

Beauty : Trying the Curél Sebum Care Trial Kit, by Kao!

Growing up, I’ve had my fair share of sensitive skin episodes where I found out the hard way that I’m allergic to excessive chlorinated water. The skin exposed to those water would itch so badly that I needed to take medication or apply calamine lotion. Besides that, I also suffer from exfoliative keratolysis, where the skin on my palm and feet would peel, most of the time for no reason at all. It took me years before I realised that the products I was using was not suitable for my skin.

As a Malaysian, I'm proud to say that I can take spicy food with a fairly good tolerance for them. Not only can I handle spicy food, I actually love them passionately too.

Riding on the wave of the hype they have created, the couple which hails from China came up with another “viral” social media  concept of serving their seafood dish but this time, a jumbo sized version. It’s called the Jumbo Seafood Platter, which comes in several different sizes too and a whole lot of different type of seafood too!
