乾淨又滑溜

試了clarisonic兩個星期,效果不錯.第一次試用了在臉上,又用了在左手前臂.讓老公感覺一下左右手的分别,他即時分到左手滑溜很多,原來不是幻覺.初次試用隨機附送的gentle cleaner,很乾淨又不乾燥.幾天後我試用BE的洗面粉,效果更佳.還未試用其他兩種clarsonic的cleaners,用完現在這支才會開它們.
皮膚開始更有光澤,毛孔也清潔得很好,與只用雙手清洗有很明顯的分別.這是第一次感到皮膚這樣清潔,塗上護膚品時,皮膚好像海棉一樣吸收,完全沒有誇大宣傳的效用.It's a keeper.

clarisonic 送到

等了幾天的Clarisonic Mia終於送到家中,未充電之前按捺不住要試試刷頭,好軟的刷毛,好舒服呀!第一次用之前要充電24小時,好心急想試在臉上(我己經愛上它了,雖然還未真正體驗).我估計最後mia會"讓給"老公,然後買plus.這樣就由頭到腳都可以清潔滑溜,好似日日做完spa一樣,護膚品可以吸收好一點,化妝又易上一點.我相信這將會是另一沒有買錯的產品,試驗之後再向大家報告.

Finally bought the Clarisonic

Saw it on TV for a while and heard it is a great product, however the price tag for a cleaning brush is quite expensive. Really want the Clarisonic Plus (because I kind of want the body brush) but I ended up ordering the Mia. It is a traveling size Clarisonic, very new to the market and the price is much more reasonable. I don't really care about the speed mode and such, the reason for wanting the Plus is able to do the body too. Eric said I should order the Plus but I can't stand the idea of paying almost double the price for one extra function. So, I ordered the Mia to try it out and hope Eric will not steal it from me (a lot of men use it and love it too). Maybe I won't mind if he steal it because I will have a reason to buy the Plus (if I like it that much, haha). I can't wait it to be delivered.

母女購物記

自從成功帶囡囡去診所,隔了一星期我終於有信心帶她去街.當她一吃完早餐,我就駕車外出.第一次去了costco買wipes,路途其實頗遠,幸一路順風安全回家,她只是在回家途中累得哭起來,但一兩分鐘後便睡著了.第二次是去超市買餸,目標是在她要小睡前回家.當我們入到超市,她已經開始疲倦,我盡快地完成購物清單.但在等候付款時,囡囡已累得要命,想睡但又想看周遭的新事物,結果第一次在購物途中發小脾氣.幸好我一抱就安撫了她的情緒,可憐想睡的小傢伙,一上車就睡著了.

一連三天我們都外出,今次去了買電動牙刷的刷頭,還看了新玩具.本來打算影相問問老公意見,誰知新的iphone 3G S竟然顯示無sim card???(心想:每次換新電話,都只是我的有問題,不會又這樣"幸運"嘛?又話新的好過舊,還未夠十天就有問題…雖然是老爺奶奶送的,但全家的新iphone都無問題,為何又是我 — 黑仔王)我嘗試開關機三次,最後一次我輕輕地拍在手上,終於回復正常.但囡囡這時已經開始不耐煩,收銀處還是回去買玩具,都是先回家.

第四天老公留在家中上班,又是晨早會議,可憐;但我們可以一家人吃午餐.爸爸趁午飯時間,帶寶貝和我去買玩具,新的鼓和peek a block,兩樣她都很喜歡(媽媽想買block給她很久,嘻嘻).

Christmas in July

I still don't understand what is Christmas in July, all I know is they started
to display some Christmas stuff in July. Normally, we won't started Christmas
shopping until October as the earliest. But we started quite early for Alexis
this year since one of the presents is quite high demand. 

Eric and I saw these American Girl Dolls last year while I was pregnant
with little princess. If we could ensure she is a girl, we would have bought
some already. Anyway, we decided if the baby is a girl, it will be her
collection on top of whatever she likes. These dolls honestly is quite expensive
(actually very expensive in my opinion) but very well made. They pay so much
attention to details and come with all kinds of accessories that you can think
of and more. We got her the doll of the year 2009 and some accessories to start
the collection (since it is the year she was born) which does not count as a
christmas gift. Then we got her the Bitty Twins special set as one of the
Christmas presents. I had a hard time choosing the color of the hair, I like the
blonde one but also the brunette. We ended up choosing the bernette one and may
be I will buy the blonde one for myself in the future, haha. Until she is old
enough, I guess 4 is the right age, we will let her choose one of the
look-like-me dolls. (I kind of want one too…already being teased by Eric so
many times). 
Here is the doll of the year – Chrissa

買鞋日

上次買鞋已經很久很久了,我最新的一對鞋是奶奶上年聖誔送的Birki,我自己買的已經耐到唔記得.昨天去為囡囡添置新衣後,當然要逛逛街啦.一連兩天都去了逛,但只是逛了很短的時間,第一天去找我好朋友的結婚禮物,見到一份非常合心意的,誰知所有的存貨都有問題…最後都是選了老公建議的,加上我第二合心意的組合,然後就乖乖回家了.但在途中見到carter's有減價,老公說在電郵收到8折的coupon,所以昨天就回去掃貨,買了很多6-9個月的睡衣和幾件衫仔.

我本來打算立即回家,免得再花錢,因為我這兩個月已經用了很多錢.但老公每次都喜歡"問"我逛不逛近期最愛,但我今次很有定力,在兩間最愛都沒有買任何東西,安然無羔地走出來.雖然有幾樣東西我都頗喜歡,老公又說很好看,但我都堅決不要.奈何我失守在一間新的鞋店.

我原本只是想看看,經常都見到gladiator
shoes,一直都不喜歡;直至我看了某節目,開始改變我的想法,原來適合的可以令雙腳變得非常修長.已經很久沒有買新鞋的我,一心想試試看,估計都不會怎麼好看,始終覺得這種鞋不太適合我.反正是試著玩,就試鮮艷的粉紅色.天啊!怎會這麼幸運,一試就找到那雙會令雙腳修長的鞋子,難得這麼高跟卻算舒適.於是找喜歡的銅色試穿,但沒有粉紅色的那種"嘩".老公也很同意,他非常贊同我要把它買下來.然後找到另外兩對我很喜歡的,款式近似但我非常喜愛,老公也覺得我穿得極好看,讓我同時將它們買回家.今次我又失敗而回,但還是滿心歡喜的.謝謝老公大人.

Fergie是我很喜歡的歌手,可以想像她會穿這種鞋子,難怪會在她的品牌中出現

這一雙是我最喜愛的

款式非常近,但那些微小的差別卻又叫我很喜歡

Bare Escentuals用後感

5月底買的Bare Escentuals試用了個多月,大約45天左右,估不到皮膚真的得到改善,最意想不到是兩邊臉龐由乾得脫皮,變成又軟又滑;毛孔收細了,黑頭也明顯減少.老公說的沒錯,個個都說好是有原因的,尤其是16歲的喜歡,80歲的也喜歡,連奶奶和富貴老太太朋友都喜愛,產品必定有一定質素.幸好他說服我又買給我,不然我可能仍然在努力又煩嫌地試著新產品和品牌.要乖乖,不能再貪新鮮試其他,難得找到適合自己的,就要專一.BE的護膚品推出不久,估不到和化妝品一樣的好.

BE全部都是粉狀的化妝品,初時真的很不習慣,但用了一星期左右就上手了,現在掌握了份量,妝容更自然.最新買的sea yourself全部都有防曬,還有眼線掃.我一向都不能畫眼線,每次畫完都不滿意,所以大部分時間我都不會畫(反正又不是必要的).但新一套有齊顏色加掃,沒有理由不試試看,竟然一次就成功,還容易得很…最重要是很自然,加上新的粉藍色眼影,是我近日最愛.不得不提的是它們全部都防水,又非常持久,由朝到晚都不會脫色,我試過洗澡後,妝容仍與早上剛化好妝時是一樣的,真的難以置信.化妝又可同時護膚,全部都是礦物粉末,不會過期又可雙重扮靚.

大收穫=重傷出血

上個星期去買父親節禮物,出發前老公取笑我要記著今日是買禮物給父親們,並不是ling ling購物日,不要去看手袋和女裝.下車時我一副得意模樣的說,我不會進入賣女裝的店舖.在買完兩位父親的禮物後(老公的一早訂了,所以不用去買),老公見我木無表情,問我是否太悶(真係睇穿晒我…知我去行街唔買都要睇下的小毛病).我矢口否認嚷著要回家,說要買的都買完我不會看其他東西.心想今次一定要成功,唔可以次次都被他說中,明明說逛逛卻變成買買買.結果他還是拉我到最近的新歡逛一圈,指這看那的問我喜不喜歡,又找了合身的著我去試身….(我明明走過了門口卻被他拉住,今次是他逼我買東西的,哼!)其實上次已經買了很多,但他說我上次買不夠,可以多買幾條裙子,牛仔褲和衫,又叫我買一直在考慮的圍巾.結果,試身成功意即銀包出血.上車後,他又取笑我買了很多東西,遠多於買給爸爸的.我相信在夏季完結前,我也不用再買任何東西.(我是這樣告訴自己的)

昨天老公在公司致電回家,告訴我收到BE的預訂通知,最新產品有我喜歡的粉藍色在其中,全套都有防曬還包括了兩支掃.他覺得很襯我,相信我會很喜歡,但為免估錯都是先問問我的意見.愛上BE的我當然不容錯過,難得他竟然會在我上個月買了幾套化妝和護膚品後,還主動告訴我新貨預訂,一番好意怎能推卻.最新系列全部都加上防曬,扮靚又少一個步驟,化妝同時護膚的BE,真的令我著迷.用了短短一個月,皮膚己經得到改善.老公說別再試其他牌子,難得找到喜歡又適合的,但我想慳dd呀.BE的night time treatment是我的最愛,亦是最貴的產品…但真係唔想用咁多錢….再咁縱我銀包會流血不止.

My BE collection

Tried for so long to find the right skincare and makeup but didn't have much luck. Heard that Bare Escentuals is good for all skin types and I decided to give it a try. So far I like it and it is good to know they will not expire because they are crushed minerals. 

Eric saw a Platinum collection (make with real crushed platinum, wow) and bought it for me. He thought the color is really nice and I may like it. Wearing platinum on the face and body is really fun and sparkly, I love it. He said there are diamond, gold and rose gold collections, I should try them next. (He really want to buy the gold collection and put it on baby, I told him don't even think about it).

After using it for a week, my skin is softer and the tone is more even. I like the night revival treatment the best and will check it again after 30 days. Hope it will minimize my poles and black heads as the description claims.

Here are some of the products


終於買齊bb野

09年1月24日(星期六)

買了幾個月,終於買齊所有bb用品(希望唔好有漏啦).預產期越來越近,老公和我決定要月尾前買好所有瑣碎用品,例如奶樽,溫度計和玩具等等,奶奶老爺也很同意.老公一直都說奶奶可以平日和我兩個人去買所有東西,因為她會知道有甚麼遺漏,而決定權一直在我.最後我們一行四人去了babyrus買東西.一入到舖頭,對著大門口的可愛春裝已經上架,奶奶興奮得立即捉著我前去挑選(但bb已經多衫到不得了,我們要買的用品全部在右邊的貨架).老公說她不買不會心息的,陪她去揀啦.於是又為寶寶添了好幾件衫仔帽仔.

然後,我們走到右邊選購貨品.跟著列好的清單,竟然要走遍全店的每一行貨架,裝滿了兩部購物車,真的很誇張.在付款的時候拿出銀包,奶奶瞪大眼睛望著我問"你在做甚麼?"然後已經站在我和收銀員的中間.跟據過往經驗,乖乖站在後邊讓她付款是最明智的.於是給她兩張早前收到的現金券(她卻想我留起來日後使用),告訴她我們不會走到這麼遠購物,她最後也接受了.

 

09年1月25日(星期日)

今天老公和我到附近的超市閒逛,看看那間有我們用的bb物品,日後缺貨可以隨時補倉.在出發前,奶奶打了幾次電話給我們,原來他們在電器舖內,為我添置webcam和相機.昨天和他們吃午飯時,老公提到要買新的webcam,讓我在港的家人可以見到bb;另外可能要買一部新的相機給我,因為舊的最近不時有小問題,但我還未決定想要甚麼.想不到我們還未開始做資料搜集,今天一早他們兩老就走到電器舖.老爺選好了webcam,打來問老公這是不是他早前看過ok的型號,然後問他我想要那類型的相機,要不要像小叔那種可更換鏡頭的專業型號,有沒有牌子喜好等等.他們買了之後,再致電告訴我們稍後會送來我家,我們不用到他家提貨,真的令我極不好意思呢!

 

09年1月26日(星期一)

今天奶奶約我星期四食午飯,同時告訴我她訂了兩張床褥,用來放在她早前訂的daybed上.但今次是不同的公司,所以我應該會收到另一個送貨電話.另外,她在閒逛藥房的時候,怕我上次買的女性用品不夠,竟然這也為我添貨.有這麼疼我的家姑和家翁,真是蒙主眷顧,感恩非常.在港又有愛我的雙親,不諳英語也嘗試申請簽證赴美探望(真的令我擔心),很感動呢!
