Our Honeymoon in Maldives 爱在阳光灿烂的天堂 。马尔代夫 - Part 2, Malé by Foot 第二章，马累漫步走

Though still feeling exhausted, I was waken up by the morning sun at 6am...
Not that surprising though... it is only a mere 3128km between Malé and Kuala Lumpur but there is a three-hour time difference!
Malaysia is probably already 9am. . . No wonder the sky was so bright. . .
虽然很累，但清晨六点钟已经被阳光晒醒了。。。
不出奇吧。。马累和吉隆坡只相差区区那3128公里，却有三个小时的时差！
大马大概是九点了。。。难怪这么亮。。。

Our Honeymoon in Maldives 爱在阳光灿烂的天堂 。马尔代夫 - Prologue 序

If honeymoon is a dream come true, I will definitely choose have it in heaven, and it has to be in an island.
I would love to have a Safari tour in South Africa but it's way too hectic for a honeymoon. After all, we always love the sea, sand, sun thingy.
如果说蜜月梦想成真，我一定会选择一次华丽的奢侈，享受在人间天堂，而且还要是在个岛屿国。
虽然我也很想有在南非的野生动物园上奔跑，但这样的蜜月实在太累人了。毕竟，我们都是爱好海浪，沙滩，阳光的人。

When it came to making choices, we shortlisted Maldives, Aegean Sea, and Seychelles. (Oopss... Baby just reminded me that we thought about New Zealand too...) However, I am a true nature lover and am very concern to global warming issues. Maldives is known to be the fastest sinking islands in another 50 - 70 years, therefore I definitely want to have an unforgettable event there. Our honeymoon.
最后的3个选择，我们列下了马尔代夫，爱琴海和塞舌尔。（老公刚提醒我．．还有新西兰） 然而，我是自然爱好者，而且非常关注全球暖化问题。所以就选择了被公认是未来50-70年里最快的下沉的岛屿的马尔代夫。当然我的决定紧紧牵连着这个令人难忘的目的--我们的蜜月旅行。

How to make your face looks slimmer

published in KoreaCosmetics.kr as "How to make your face looks slimmer"

The golden rule to a thinner looking face – the exposed areas of your face should be more to an angular shape, near to diamond shape. That is the summary from various articles and also personal experience.
Some key tricks to make your face look thinner, these are also my usual practice:

1. Contouring your cheeks with a combination of blush and bronzer. Sweep bronzer along your cheekbones and then blend in pink shade blush below the bronzer. This can create contrast which will reduce the roundness of your face.

2. ALWAYS choose a foundation or powder that is 1 or 2 shades darker than your skin. It does not mean you no longer need your normal foundation or powder. Apply your normal foundation and only blend in the darker shades afterwards; darker shades are used for shaping your jaw line to create a more angular effect. But you have to ensure you do not overdo, else your face will appear two tones like trying to cover up some bruises. It takes some time to master the contour technique!

3. The third trick is a hair technique. Try the eyebrow-skimming bangs rather than keeping your hair one length. It will make your face appears narrower.

More than just an essence mask

I'm pretty sure that most of the ladies are consuming essence mask sheet as part of their beauty rituals. So am I. Nice scent and easy-to-use, and furthermore, no washing required! That's the best part of it.

I super love essence mask~ My weekly usage is about 2 pieces in average. What more can an essence mask supply to you besides the nutrients for your face? Have you think about it? Paying around RM6-RM30 for more than a 15-minute temptation on your face... =)

This is what I usually do after putting on the essence pulp onto my face.
