when normal routine just don't cut it.

yes. i'm very obsessed these days. to the point of going beserk if i couldnt figure out how.

How to get that smooth, scale-free skin.

now i'm still hunting, for a good body scrub that doesnt dry your skin. ones that i tried were either too drying or has not as much of the grainy bits as i like. a loofah or sponge just dont cut it. not enough ok. but no, i don't have OCD, or else i (and the whole house) will be sqeeeeaky clean.

cakap pasal tonyoh2 ni, semalam punya la beriya tonyoh kaki dgn pumice block, sental punya sental, tersental ibu jari (tangan) sendiri.

hambik ko. pastu melolong bila jari tu terkena sambal ayam penyet.

padan muka.

this, on one hand sound sooo yummeh, but on the other hand, its ridiculously expensive.pic from Soap 'n Sorbet

from the looks of it, it can be emulated. you can choose either you want a salt scrub or a sugar scrub and start from there. a few homemade scrub recipe that caught my eye:

Honey Almond Scrub

• 2 Tbsp almond
• 2 tsp milk
  
• 1/2 tsp flour
• 1/2 tsp honey

Applelicious Scrub Recipe

1 apple, pureed
2 tbs. dark brown sugar

1 tbs Olive oil

"Olive you, honey!" body scrub (from bellasugar.com)

• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 4 tbsp. honey
• 2 tbsp. cinnamon

sounds delish, aint it? some of you artsy people might even make them as a DIY gift! oh wow! seronok nya kalau dapat! (bukannya nak buat sendiri. heh)

while i'm at it, the domestic guru, Martha Stewart has a page for this, and here's another link for DIY body scrub basics at myinspirationlounge.squarespace.com.

macam masak-masak lah. happy trying!

ok. there goes the make up phase. thats because,

now i'm into skincare phase. hahahaha.. my vainpotness is gonna be there forever so this is something ur gonna see forever as well.

maybe it has something to do with having the big THREE OH in a couple of years maka i'm freaking out.

hell, yes.

not to mention skin issues that i never had to face.

before.

so when i went to the beauty counter, punya la panjang SA tu gebang, prung prang prung prang last last hambik ko, berderet2 produk dia kata aku kena pakai.

thats only the basics.

two different masks for different concerns, cleanser, toner, essence and mosturizer.

see? B.A.S.I.C.

tapi poket kering jugak. lets see if i can maintain the routine and see any difference in my facial appearance.

a shoutout

just because i wear baju kurung doesn't mean i can't understand an english phrase.

honestly, "krim manis(whipped cream)"???!!!

how thick do you think i am?

obviously as thick as the 'krim manis'.

sneak peek!

i was hopping around, happily clicking until i found this image.

OH.EMM.GEE.

salivating!!!

its MAC summer 2010 collection! the seahorse is absolutely to die for. but i dont know if i ever have it, will i ever have the guts to defile it?

a movie date!

was on a wayang date last night. colleagues kat office terkejut tengok me in baju kurung, then in blouse n jeans the next minute. i guess i got some people a bit jealous that hubby n i are able to do that whenever we want to. but of course when there are just the two of you, nothing's a boundary ey?

had a full line of meals, first stop ayam penyet (which left my behind in a hissy fit the next morning), tutti frutti for desert, then join hariz's colleague for carl's jr. oh, i just had their milkshake, nothing much (!!!).

that was BEFORE wayang.

watched legion, thank god i brought along a quite sheer pashmina. hariz's palm would cover my face entirely, so i wouldn't be able watch the movie at all. see, i admit, aku ni penakut, maka selalu sembunyi belakang tangan dia. but then legion was kind of interesting, hiding behind pashmina was good enough.

it about God being mad with human, and releasing a troop of angels to exterminate them. only thing is, the one instructed to kill the baby that would save mankind, Michael, defy the instruction given to him, and he's helping the humans instead.

a fair part of the movie was interesting, n a little gory (Michael sewed his own back after he cut off his wings, goodness sake!) n other scenes as well, granny who eats raw steak and climb the ceiling of a diner etc. but almost at the end, at the back of my mind i was thinking,

'hey, this is like another version of TERMINATOR (cue background music: dudum dum dudum!)'

well, except that the terminator is in the form of Gabriel.

the scary nenek.

pic googled.

overall its not bad, really. well, at least to my expectation. :)

coming... and going away..

pls excuse my previous post. pompuan emo memang camtu, kalau takde peak hours memang bukan la siti yuhanis.

a kind soul (meaning you, fatma :)) noted that my blog is becoming a blog promoting beauty products. it is, in fact, what i'm interested in at the moment.

keyword : at the moment.

i think i've been vain all my life, its juz that it came in waves, like there are peaks and troughs, exactly how my emotions are. sometimes i even think (especially when i'm in clinical setting), 'eh, chop, ke aku ni bipolar?' kind of thing. gila diagnose diri sendiri. but then again,

orang gila takkan mengaku dia gila. heh.

what you're seeing ladies and (looking around if there's any) gentlemen, is a very classic CANCERIAN frantic to find a suitable facial care for herself now that her current routine's stock is fast diminishing.

(i already see myself turning into the cooking phase again).

while i'm at it, hariz has made an almost scary request: for me to make FIVE CHEESE LASAGNA. my hips shudder (or jiggle is a more accurate expression) at the thought.

if i ever find all the cheeses i need, and finally summon all my courage to make it, i'll post it here okies!

tengah tunggu hariz balik ni. bosan la dok rumah sorg2. pening otak aku, lama sangat menghadap pc.

baru tgk up semalam. the first 20 minutes already left me in tears. god i'm such a sucker when it comes to lovey-dovey old childless couple. deep in my heart, if we ever have to face a childless future (ya Allah mintak la simpang), i hope that we ended up like that, romantic and loving, till death do us part.

there's one episode in house pun macam tu. sama la, last2 the wife died. aku tengok sekejap dah meleleh airmata. bongoks la siti yuhanis.

see see?? sekarang pun bergenang. bodoh. nak buat review pun nangis.

i'm outta here.
