Another Monthly Surprise Bag of Love

Yayy, today talked about some girly stuff!

I am super excited about this! Just received yesterday but can't wait to share with you guys d!

Bag of Love! Coincidently saw this product from other's blog and I found it quite interesting cz it is no longer box instead it comes in a bag! There are too many existing beauty box monthly subscriptions so there are nothing special about it.

Usually I will review what products is featuring for the past few months before I proceed with the payment. And I found out this is quite attracting so I did not hesitate much! Lol..

The team of Bag of Love is very efficient! I did not expect my parcel would be received after 5 days of payment. It comes in different design of bag every month so there is another thing to anticipate for! Anyway the idea is awesome at least we can use it as travel pouch which is way better than WonderBox which I received earlier. :-( I got nothing to do with the empty boxes! Think gonna leave it till the next spring cleaning..XD

I really love the bag for this month..silky smooth touch and pearl white colour! Tadaa all the goodies in it!

Everything in the bag. I personally fancy Crabtree and Evelyn new launched Somerset Meadow Hand Therapy!

First to go!

Kerastase Bain Oleo-Relax 250ml RM78

It is a smoothing shampoo that disciplines dry, frizzy, unmanageable hair. It delivers optimum nutrition, control, and anti frizz protection to leave hair soft and silky. Use it frequently and it will benefit from improved softness and long-lasting volume and control.

Last time when I received WonderBox, I am so desperate for this brand, and finally Bag of Love deliver this to my doorstep! Hehe..

Dove Beauty Nourishing Body Wash, Full Size, RM6.90

It features 100% natural moisturizers that can absorb completely to nourish skin deep down. Plus, an improved formula gives your skin the proven best care. Dove gentlest cleansers ever, a rich lather and clean rise to leave your skin feeling soft and smooth.

Calvin Klein Eternity EDP, 50ml, RM254 and Eternity for Men EDT, 50ml, RM209

Eternity, inspired by the ideal lasting love intimacy, is a romantic floral fragrance. This harmonious blend of both classic and contemporary scents is a perfect combination, created to reflect timeless quality and modern style.

Crabtree and Evelyn Somerset Meadow Hand Therapy, Full-Size, RM30

Dry hands including cuticles and nails will delight in this superior moisturising and conditioning blend of macadamia nut oil, shea butter, antioxidant rich vitamin C and E, and water lily and ivy extracts. This restorative hand treatment also leaves a subtle, tantalising aroma on the skin.

This products is heavily promoting in the fashion magazines lately and I'm so glad that I'm able to try it. I don't usually walk into their store to buy their products as I perceived it is too expensive for toiletries.

Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Capsules Daily Youth Restoring Serum, 60 capsules, RM320

A lightweight, silky-smooth yet no greasing serum for your face, neck and decolletage that instantly infuses your skin with youth-restoring Ceramides. Absorb quickly to strengthen and repair the appearance of skin for a visible improvement in overall appearance and a noticeably more youthful complexion.

Overall review about this products is great stating in Elizabeth Arden official website. Most of the customers say it works magically to their skin and is highly recommended. Some even say they can't live without it!

I think I will lend this to my mum as maintaining youthful appearance is her main concern at her age. :-)

Bag of Love has a humble beginning with only three months of launching but I think they did pretty well! Most of the customer feedback is positive with much love! ♥

If you are interested, kindly browse through Bag of Love website for subscription.

Hope you like this!

Flash Back Homestay.Cafe at Lebuh Acheh, Georgetown

Blog as frequent as I can in this week. Blogging is never an easy task especially you have to squeeze your time between tight schedule yet this is solely an interest. To be honest, it is self discipline and perseverance that drives you a long way in blogging.

I wanted to treat it as my habit cz I found my sense of belongings here. Moreover, I want to know how far blogging can leads me to, and I know I will never regret to choose this as part of my life. :-)

Here I am, squeeze time from my study week and two more weeks would be my final exam already. Thus I will make my recent posts as simple as possible. :-)

Flash Back Cafe at Lebuh Acheh.

*bad photo quality due to the program mode of my camera. Didn't noticed about it until I've seen the pictures from my laptop* Ishh...next time would be extra cautious about it.

Just a street away from Armenian Street.

They are offering homestay booking as well but this promotion is over so now will be back to the original price.

Greetings from the bear!

His order.
Hazelnut RM4
Erm, don't expect much, just a very normal cup of coffee, don't forget you are not paying premium price for it. :-)

My food hunting partner aka boyfriend who are always willing to explore nice cafe with me.
He is checking the flipping table whether can it afford the *laptop, gadgets, coffee* weight. Lol..

As you see..clearly written here so better double check. Lol..but obviously it is just a laugh la..

My order.
Iced Cappucino RM4.50
Ain't your expected nice brewed coffee.

Anyway, I am contented with a cup of iced cappucino at this price.

I didn't realized it is that blur. =="

I once raised at Lebuh Acheh by my nanny. So Lebuh Acheh 打石街 has lots of my childhood memories. I always sneak to Khoo Kongsi when I am small. At that time, they have many entrances lead to Khoo Kongsi and it is not a tourist attractions yet so this place used to be unagitated.

All in all, this area has been very commercialized with cafe and hostel everywhere so nearly all the uncles and aunties who stayed in this neighbourhood has moved with their children.

Thinking of this, I am feeling the same like the teddy bear here. :-(

Anyhow, Georgetown is evolving so there must be some sacrifices that has to be made. Homestay is provided everywhere in Georgetown area, Flash Back either.
Reminder once again, this promotion is over, I am just showing the leftover flier in their cafe.

The current room rate is based on the original price which is stated in flier.
Single Bed Room RM55
Twin Bed Room RM84
Double Bed Room RM88
Triple Bed Room RM132
Quad Bed Room RM168
Family Suite RM350

Kopitiam and Rumah Terbalik in Tuaran, Sabah

Third day we were driving to Kundasang but morning drop by somewhere else to have breakfast.

First stop for Sabah type of Pork noodle, they called it 生肉面. They told me KL have it as well but not as good as this. :-)

Kedai Kopi Melanian 金沙园生肉面

I like the noodle but some of them prefer the soup. I think both also nice la..worth a try. Figured out Sabah got lots of handmade noodles like this..every shop have their signature noodle. This is uncommon in Penang.

Anyway I love the chili, shop like this must have exceptional and extraordinary chili to accommodate the noodle, sometimes is not the noodle that nice in fact is the chili. Haha..

Magnificent duck meat I should say. Lol..not a duck meat lover but this fit my taste. Love it!

Next stop, we were hunting for custard bun in this coffee shop.

Unfortunately the baked one is not ready yet so at last we pick the steam bun. Anyway I like the Q-ness of the bun and they have variety of fillings. I chose butter and char siew, both also not bad.

Sorry I forgot how much it is exactly, around RM1 to RM1.20 I guess.

They are famous for the baked custard buns anyway, but it starts selling at 11.30am.
