NuNature Complete Anti-Aging Hair Solution

How are you taking care of your hair to prevent early signs of aging?

I’m someone who keeps trying different shampoo and conditioner. Although there are a few brands that I enjoy using, I think that finding the right hair care is a fun task and a challenge at the same time. Sometimes you like the smell but not satisfied with its promise of giving you shiny, healthy hair. Sometimes you see great improvement yet you don’t like the scent. Sometimes you want to test if it really works but then the price is too high.
We all want healthy, shiny, glorious hair. But hair is not easily convinced. Some people are blessed with naturally beautiful crowning glory while some of us need to go for scheduled treatments to make our hair presentable. And we also need to continuously find the correct hair care products.
I was happy to join fellow gorgeous ladies of The Butterfly Project a few weeks ago to be introduced to a new hair care range in Malaysia that provides anti-aging hair solution. That’s right; anti-aging solution, not for the skin, but for our hair. It was a warm and bright Saturday afternoon when I got to meet this brand for the first time at the cozy coffee shop of Dal.Komm in Uptown Damansara, PJ.

Welcomed by the sight of a beautiful basket containing bottles of shampoo and conditioner, I got excited. All these are for me to try? What a happy day.
Nünature Hair Care is a complete anti-aging solution that harnesses properties from a unique blend of natural ingredients that provide anti-oxidation and moisture. Nünature products come with 3 essential hair benefits: strengthening of hair roots, reduction and prevention of hair fall, and protection from daily damage.

The Nünature team shared about the benefits of this anti-aging solution and how it has helped two women in regaining healthy hair. Daily pollution, stress, pregnancy and chemical treatments are just some factors that can damage our hair and result to hair fall, dandruff, dryness and more.

So what’s inside each Nünature hair product?
Indian Kino Tree Extract
Pterocarpus Marsupium Bark, also known as the Indian Kino Tree, is the key ingredient in all Nünature Shampoo range. As the scalp ages, glycation (hardening of peri-follicular collagen) occurs, causing hair loss. Indian Kino Tree Extract delays aging with its powerful anti-free radical properties, thus preventing cell damage and improving cell metabolism while containing excellent water retention’s properties to keep your hair in good elasticity all the time.
Silk Amino Acids
Extracted from raw silk, Silk Amino Acids are naturally-occurring water-soluble glycoproteins. These molecules penetrate deeply to strengthen, rebuild and nourish damaged hair without causing any build up. When the scalp soaks up its benefits, hair also becomes softer, fuller-bodied and stronger.
Hydrolyzed Soy Protein
The essential amino acids in Soy Protein deliver nutrients to the scalp to maintain its balance. It provides the scalp with essential nutrients for cell renewal, and over time, Soy Protein improves cellular metabolism.
Nünature offers an all-encompassing range of products, formulated to suit all types of hair concerns. With 6 shampoos and 2 conditioners, you can mix and match for a tailor-made hair pampering experience:

Magic Eye 3D Museum in Thailand

Visiting Amazing Thailand soon? You gotta check out the 3D museum in Hatyai!

thailand-travel-hatyai-places-magic-eye-museum
My husband, my son and I had a holiday trip to HatYai, Thailand last month. Aside from seeing the elephants, we also took the time to visit the Magic Eye 3D Museum. Although it is a bit far from our hotel in HatYai, my husband rented a car and driver to bring us to the place. We heard that it’s really nice to visit this museum so we might as well check it out while we’re there.
The staff there were very friendly, I guess most places in HatYai have very friendly customer service staff. Food and drinks, by the way, are not allowed inside the hall so they politely asked us to leave them at the guest services. You also cannot wear shoes inside, of course, to help preserve the beauty and quality of the paintings as most of them are also on the floor. White socks are provided for customers.
If you’re planning to visit the museum, bring your fully charged camera phones, digital cameras or DSLRs. The museum is filled with amazing paintings and visuals, you will definitely spend an hour at least of taking photos at different angles. I was disappointed that I didn’t bring my DSLR with me so I had to make use of my phone. It’s not bad but I knew I could have done better, darn!
And here are some of the photos we took:

Melvita and Women’s Weekly Anti-Aging Workshop

The battle against anti-aging is a never-ending challenge, isn’t it? So when The Malaysian Women’s Weekly announced an interesting workshop last August, I took the chance to learn more about anti-aging…
melvita-anti-aging-beauty-skincare-free-items-goodie-bag

The free Melvita skincare items in the goodie bag

It’s always interesting for me to attend beauty workshops. I find it worthwhile to discover latest products and to observe how consumers respond to what different beauty brands have to say during such events. It’s also amazing how thirsty we are for advice and knowledge when it comes to techniques, tips or secrets to combat the dreaded ‘a’ word…aging.
How did I acquire a seat for the workshop? The Malaysian Women’s Weekly announced the Anti-Aging session in its August magazine issue. For a minimal fee of RM30, you secure a seat to the workshop, which also comes with refreshments and goodie bag.
womens-weekly-melvita-anti-aging-beauty-skincare-workshop
The session was held at Lavender Bakery in 1 Utama, at the open air section, where we enjoyed the breeze of a cool morning. Before the session started, Melvita conducted this ‘spin the wheel’ mini-game to get something that addresses aging. I got a small packet of fresh raspberries. So cute.
Refreshments from Lavender were provided, together with a lovely bottle of Esprit Raspberry Sparkling Water. Don’t worry, what you see on my plate here isn’t all of it. I just chose to take a little amount of food.
melvita-anti-aging-beauty-skincare-workshop-food

Workshop items such as sponge, wash bowl and mirror were provided for each guest. We got to sample and apply different anti-aging products from Melvita, ranging from cleansers to beauty oils.

Some of the products tested at the workshop

melvita-anti-aging-beauty-argan-oil

melvita-anti-aging-French-beauty-skincare-organic

Melvita also introduced their latest skincare range, Bio-Excellence Naturalift, which consisted of 3 products: Youthful Day Cream, Youthful Night Cream and Eye Contour. These can be combined with other items such as beauty oils and floral water.
melvita-anti-aging-beauty-skincare-day-night-eye-cream

Melvita Bio-Excellence Naturalift Skincare

This formula offers the protective and firming action of the bud complex, to smooth wrinkles and fine lines. It also contains shea butter, to nourish the skin, and the combination of rye, oat and hibiscus, which together redefine facial contours. The skin is deeply replenished and firmer; it appears visibly smoother.
I think this is a good product to try, especially for those who are looking for organic skincare solutions.  
The rich texture of this cream sinks gently into the skin, to nourish and moisturize throughout the night. In addition to the firming and protective action of the bud complex, which smoothens wrinkles and fine lines, this formula also contains nourishing shea butter, as well as evening primrose oil, known to help prevent skin ageing. These ingredients are combined with rye, oat and hibiscus, which help redefine facial contours, to provide intensive regenerating action.
For rejuvenating the skin overnight, it is good to have a night cream, which is normally a bit thicker than the usual moisturizer. This night cream has a lovely texture that is suitable for overnight skin recovery. I like the gentle scent, too.  
Formulated with the firming and protective bud complex, this eye cream is enriched with plankton – known for its draining properties, which help to reduce dark circles. It also contains rice powder, for a delicate powdery finish. Rye, oat and hibiscus provide complementary action, filling out wrinkles and fine lines.   
This cream has a light texture that doesn’t feel thick or heavy around the eyes. I guess with the rice powder ingredient, it leaves a nice powder finish so you have no risk of developing those oil seeds or milia.
  
The session ended with a Q&A game where 3 lucky guests bagged gift sets. Too bad I wasn’t listening carefully; I didn’t answer the question correctly, ha!
Ooohhh, and I enjoyed this yummy dessert!
melvita-anti-aging-beauty-skincare-workshop
Overall, the workshop is fine and enjoyable, except for the set-up of the venue. The seating arrangement is too tight, squeezing in around 30 guests. Where I sat, in front, I had to keep asking other guests to stand up so I can access food. I can’t blame the other ladies who were probably rolling their eyes but they also can’t blame me. Well, it was a non-working day for me, I don’t want to be a bitch on a weekend, and so I just keep my cool. The table setting was also tight to conduct self-application of the products. I hope these points will be considered by brands when conducting workshops. Guests must have comfortable space for beauty sessions.
We were given a RM30 voucher to use at Melvita outlets, so it’s like giving back the workshop fee paid to reserve a seat. No worries, you can buy an item with this RM30, such as natural or organic body soaps.

melvita-organic-French-skincare-brand-soap-floral-water-oil
My beauty loot that day:
Organic Rose Floral Water 200ml – RM122.00
Certified organic and fair trade (EFT attested), our floral water is obtained by steam distillation of fresh Rosa damascena petals. Our unique extraction method enables us to obtain a floral water that is particularly rich in active ingredients, making it a naturally powerful formula. With its fresh, delicate scent, our floral water helps to combat dehydration and regenerate the skin.
I love this floral water. I’ve been using it for more than a month now and I’m enjoying the immediate hydration and convenience. It comes with a spray so I don’t really need to use cotton with it. I used to have reaction to rose products but this one proved to be safe for my skin. I spray it on my face in the morning, afternoon at work, and at night.  
  
Eye Contouring Avocado Oil 50ml – RM112.00
100% of the total ingredients from Organic Farming. Very rich in non-saponifiable components, avocado oil is obtained from the flesh of the persea gratissima fruit. An excellent natural anti-ageing treatment, this oil is recommended for dry and delicate skin. Extremely nourishing, it is recommended for the eye contour, the neck and for stretch marks, especially if used with shea butter, which contains non-saponifiables that are remarkably complementary.
I think it’s amazing that this product can be used on the eye, neck and body stretch marks. So I bought one for my mum-in-law. She’s enjoying the multi-function, too.
I also got myself these 2 soap bars:
Lavender Flowers Soap Bar 100g – RM20.00
Vegetable Soap Bar 100g – RM35.00
I am using the Lavender Flowers Soap Bar every morning. The light scent is just nice, unlike other lavender products that often have a strong aroma.
For an organic beauty brand, I think Melvita is worth a try. I signed up as a member as well to enjoy more privileges. My next purchase would probably be a brightening eye serum and another bottle of floral water. I’m now addicted to spraying rose water on my face every day.

flexWorkLife.my Empowers Women with Flexible Work Practices

Balancing time for family and career is never easy…but what if you can get the best of both worlds?

family motherhood

I’ve always believed that women have the toughest jobs in the society. We work hard to build our careers, climb the corporate ladder, be the best of who we are and then we reach a point in our lives when we have to raise or take care of our family, being forced to make difficult choices between career accomplishment and nurturing the family. This applies not only to mothers but to women who will eventually have to choose between succeeding and allotting their time to take care of their aged parents. Women are always expected to be THE caretakers of the family and THE ones who have to sacrifice their jobs. And while men are accepted to have their ‘me’ time or time with their friends, women, more often than not, have to sacrifice all these in favor of time for the family. We sacrifice our time, our careers, our potentials to reach the peak of our success…and don’t even get me started with expectations to stay fit and beautiful after birth or as we age!


work-life-balance-challenge-in-career

I’ve been in the corporate work force for more than 10 years now and I’ve seen many women who had to make the painful choice of giving up their jobs for the sake of having more time for the family. I’m not saying that it’s wrong to choose family over career BUT it’s sad to see intelligent, results-driven individuals leave the organization where their skills and strengths can lead to more successes. It is a known fact; the long hours and demands of a job give us less time and strength to lead a balance between work and life.

How to balance work and life if work eats up all of our time in a day?

It was a very interesting and enlightening afternoon when I encountered Urban Mom’s talk show in One Utama last weekend. Did you know that there’s an organization in Malaysia that recognizes the need among individuals to have a work-life balance? For the first time, I got acquainted with a portal named http://www.flexworklife.my, an organization that aims to build a network of employers and talents to optimise work-life integration while maximising work efficiency and enhancing employee engagement. The talkshow, “I Made A Career Comeback”, featured 2 women who experienced the challenge of giving up their career for a while and successfully managed to regain their fruitful careers. But the great news is, this time around, these 2 women have made a career comeback that gives them flexible working arrangements or flexible hours, giving them the work-life balance they need. Say what again??? Flexible hours? Work-life balance? These are possible?
urbanmom-flexworklifemy-flexible-work-hours-for-women

At the Urban Mom & flexWorkLife.my talkshow, “I Made a Career Comeback” (from left: 1. Ms. Salika Suksuwan, Head, Industry Partnerships, Talent Corporation Malaysia, 2. Ms. Nisa Hidayah, Talent Acquisition Specialist, Standard Chartered, 3. Ms. Pauline Teo, HR Analyst, BASF Asia-Pacific Service Centre Sdn Bhd, and host)
Women have strong potentials and capabilities to make significant contributions in building businesses and economies. But did you know that in Malaysia, the labour force participation rate of women is lower than neighboring countries like Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia?
And why do women stop working?
TOP 3 REASONS WOMEN LEAVE THE WORKFORCE:
1 – To raise a family
2 – Lack of Work-Life Balance
3 – To care for a family member

Should it really be a choice between motherhood/family and work?

Good news is, women (and even men) who find it challenging to return to their careers after some time can now gain support from flexWorkLife.my and organizations who have recognized the need to retain women workers and talents in the workforce. More and more companies are now working towards providing the best working practices for women such as flexible working hours, working from home and even childcare centres at the workplace. I was happy to find out that established companies are now part of this drive to empower women. Here are some of the companies that have started providing flexibility in the workplace:
flexworklife-malaysia-companies-with-flexi-hours
flexworklife-maybank-pwc-TM-standard-chartered

Whether you are a job seeker or an employer, you will find a lot of support and benefits via flexWorkLife.my and the organizations that have started flexible work practices. There is even tax  incentives support for companies that practice parent-friendly working environment and efforts to retain women in the workforce. This is amazing.

Several times in my career, I did experience sacrificing my job to spend more time with my family, mainly my growing up son. It can be stressful and frustrating when a mother has to sacrifice family time for the sake of holding a job, making an income or working to succeed. Personally, I don’t believe that longer working hours directly translates to productivity (in the same way I don’t believe that those who work overtime are necessarily hardworking or efficient). Flexibility in the workplace is a smart, strategic concept if a company aims to maintain diversity, strong talents and, most of all, the significant value that women play in the organization.

GlamGlow Launches Thirsty Mud for Super Radiant Skin

It’s finally here! The much talked about brand loved by Hollywood celebrities now has a new addition to the mask family. And it’s now available in Malaysia…
  
glam-glow-thirsty-mud-for-instant-radiant-skin
Wouldn’t it be great if you can have a product that dramatically and instantly makes improvements to your skin in 10 minutes? Sounds far-fetched? Too miraculous? Well, that’s what GlamGlow is famous for!
I’ve been hearing about GlamGlow for quite some time now and it was a wonderful experience to discover it first-hand with other beauty addicts. You’ve probably seen faces of your friends or friends of friends on your FB news feed with some gray, gooey stuff on. Chances are those gals (or guys) are raving about how GlamGlow’s YouthMud or SuperMud has done wonders.
GlamGlow was originally designed for exclusive professional backstage use in Hollywood for celebrities, supermodels and other people who need instant camera-ready skin in less time and effort. GlamGlow YouthMud is popular among celebrities like Natalie Portman, Jennifer Aniston, Ryan Seacrest, Giuliana Rancic and more. Because of the wonders it does on the skin, GlamGlow was eventually introduced to consumers. We all want the good, fast stuff, don’t we? And another great thing about GlamGlow is that it can be used by both women AND men. You can buy one and share with your hubby or partner, and do ‘GlamGlow-ing’ together!

Last Saturday, GlamGlow in Malaysia hosted a wonderful morning filled with discovery about this amazing mask brand at Sephora’s boutique in Sunway Pyramid. Entering Sephora, I was welcomed by this catchy ‘Walk of Fame’ or should I say ‘Walk of Glam’. Several blue, glimmering stars styled in Hollywood Walk of Fame adorned the floor. Clever and glamorous.

The Walk of Glam

GlamGlow’s assistant product manager, Cindy Lim, shared more information about the brand, satisfying our curiosity on why this is so famous among celebrities. It was followed by further explanation about the products from Janet Low, trainer and skincare expert. She also conducted a demonstration showing how to use YouthMud and ThirstyMud on the face.

This mud has a very delicious texture and scent. It is creamy and oozes with sweet, tantalizing fragrance. ThirstyMud can work as a quick wash-off mask, can be left on overnight as a sleeping mask, can be used in-flight and like the rest of GlamGlow products, also works both for men and women. That’s a truly multi-tasking item in a beautiful jar!

Wine Talk Exclusive Blogger Event at La Bodega Bangsar

Wine appreciation still seems to be a mystery for a lot of people. But with Wine Talk and with its French Sommelier, David Stephan, wine discovery becomes easier and more fun. 

wine_talk_la_bodega_blogger_event_red_white_wines

Have you ever experienced going to an event where wines are served and you’re not really sure how to look like you’re confident with holding the wine glass? And even if you finally become confident with how you hold the wine glass, you are then faced with the challenge of drinking like a pro? Why do people swirl the glass and sniff the wine? What difference does it make? Is that a requirement or something?
wine_talk_la_bodega_blogger_event_red_white_wines

Comfortable seats at La Bodega Lounge in Bangsar – did you know they have Ladies Night every Thursday where ladies enjoy free drinks between 8-10pm?

Wine Talk held a wine tasting evening exclusively for bloggers in June at La Bodega in Jalan Telawi, Bangsar. Wine Talk’s French sommelier, David Stephan, started the evening by serving the first white wine then followed by 2 more white wines and 3 red wines. There was a total of 6 different wines from different regions and countries. All the wines we tried that night are exclusive to Wine Talk; you wouldn’t find these in supermarkets or other wine shops.

Delicious Cheese Platter by La Bodega


DAVID’s TOP 8 TIPS to appreciate and taste wine like a PRO:
  1. Hold the wine glass by the stem, not by its bowl. In my years of serving wines, I’ve probably seen hundreds of people holding a wine glass by the bowl. It’s not that bad but doing this exposes the wine to your fingers’ temperature. Best is to hold a wine glass by its stem. It reduces exposure of wine to heat and it also makes you look like a pro. Classy and elegant.
  2. Swirl the wine in your glass, be careful not to spill. Swirling allows the wine to release aromas. Just give your glass a gentle swirl. After you’ve done this a few times, you’ll get the hang of wine glass swirling.
  3. Sniff the wine. It’s totally fine to put your nose inside the glass. Learning to appreciate wine aromas is learning how to appreciate the character of the wine. Don’t panic if your friend smells something else than what you smell. Wine aromas can be completely subjective. Your friend might smell flowers while you smell fruits. It’s fine. The important thing is whether you like the aromas or not.
  4. Look at the color of the wine. You can hold your glass higher to get some light. The color of the wine can tell you a lot of things about what you’re drinking or tasting. Some white wines might be lighter than others; it will roughly give you an idea about the taste. Some red wines are very dark while types like pinot noir might have lighter red color than merlot and shiraz.  
  5. Sip the wine. Take note: SIP not gulp. Sipping gives you more chance to appreciate the taste. If you are willing to expand your tasting skills, you can explore inhaling air through your mouth while the wine is inside. This can be tricky but perfecting this skill can give you significant difference in appreciating wines.
  6. Take note of the aftertaste. This is where you’ll notice if a wine has strong or light tannins. Tannins are most commonly present in red wine. It is the textural element that makes wine taste dry. Observe your tongue when you taste red wines, it’s that ‘dry’ feeling or taste when you swallow wine. Some grapes have higher tannins while some have lower.
  7. Swirl, sniff then sip again. This will allow you to rediscover the aromas and the taste for another time.
  8. Be familiar with basic wine terms. Looking and sounding like a pro need a bit of research. Some people might talk to you about nose, legs, fermentation, vintage, corked wine, acidity and other terms. Take a few minutes to read about some wine terms before you attend a gathering where wine will be served. If you’re armed with some wine knowledge, you’ll relate to what people are talking about and maybe even add some comments that make you look and sound like a pro!

Getting To Know the Good Samaritan Home
They arrived, frightened, frustrated, anxieties written all over their faces, undernourished and neglected. They have been removed from home because of derelict parents, or have suffered the heartbreak of a home shattered by divorce, ran away parent, abandoned, or have tragically lost one or both parents. These are the children who come to Good Samaritan home. It takes time to erase the effects of these tragic experiences. Good care and warm love erase fears and dispels anxieties. Every effort is made to provide a homelike atmosphere.
Good Samaritan Home is a non-profit charitable children’s home committed to serve the poor and needy children in our society. Its aim is to provide for the physical, spiritual and educational well-being of the children. The home started operating in January 1999 with just one child and currently has 32 resident children and another 30 children in the Extension Program.
