The air is cool and the trees are turning golden yellow caressed by the gentle breeze. The grounds are covered with a sheet of gold. Ahhh...what a pretty sight. Yes, it's the time of the year, yet again. Fall is here, marking the time to shed our leaves and start anew. Which also mean, time to bring in some fresh new additions into the wardrobe. Fall has got to be one of my favourite season. It's not too hot, yet not too cold. It gives you so much flexibility when it comes to fashion. You can either layer it up or thin it down.

I was suppose to shop for a waterproof snow boots as winter was predicted to be colder and more snowy than last year. However, my vanity gets the better of me. I ended up getting these:

my Kelly & Katie suede riding boots

Isn't it cute?

Imma Bee...Imma Bee...Fan! I'm an official convert of Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm. True that Artistry Lip Conditioner (ALC) works well but it's not as nourishing and long lasting as Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm (BBBLB). And yes, I'm a distributor for Artistry's products and saying that BBBLB is better than ALC may seem like a bad choice but hey I'm a consumer and an individual just like everyone else. Certain stuff works for me and certain stuff don't work quite as well.

Artistry does have a huge range of high quality products but I'm always aware that everyone has their own preferences. Thus I always tell my clients to try, try, try and see if they like it. If it works for them, great! They are happy with their product and I made a profit but if they don't, no harms done and they get their money back. I always thank them for giving me and my products a chance. My clients' satisfaction is my top priority.

Anyway let's get back to BBBLB. For those of you who have been using the regular lip balm and have seen no result, you might wanna give BBBLB a shot. It's 100% natural and most importantly it does not contain petroleum base ingredients. Petroleum base ingredients can actually irritate certain people and make their lips dryer. I've been looking for a lip balm that works for me for my entire life and I've gotta say BBBLB has to be the one. I've been using it for almost 3 days now and my lips has been soft, supple and moist ever since. I'm in love! It contains peppermint oil too. Every time you breath in with your mouth, there's a tingly cool feeling to it :D.

Have you ever experienced dry, chap lips and when you slap on your favourite lip colour, your lips end up looking like some crack butt hole? Well I have, all the time actually, and so I dare not wear lip colour until I tried the ultimate Lip Care Kit by Artistry! It comes with a Lip Polish and Lip Conditioner.


Lip Care Kit .34oz each - $20USD
(180 days money back guaranteed)

The Lip Polish gently exfoliates away dry skin cells to instantly reveal soft, smooth lips while the rich creamy Lip Conditioner moisturizes and hydrates to soothe and keep the lips soft and supple. With the benefit of antioxidants, Vitamin A and E, your lips will feel as soft as they look. Together they give you the protection you've always wanted without being heavy or sticky. It's so pouty-licious good that I've decided to become their rep and start selling them.

For the first 4 to order it from me will get a 10% discount off on all purchase (US residents only). To order or if you have any further questions regarding the products, email me at samanthaang.h@gmail.com

This full week, MoofMoof, Roccio and I will be them piggies in the oven. The sun is out everyday and the temperature is soaring high, way higher than what I've experienced in Malaysia. It was 42C/108F in the afternoon today. According to the people who lived here all their life, this is abnormal and this is the first time it has happened. Did I bring the sunshine all the way here with me? I wonder...Thank god it isn't humid here. Every time the hot air is blown my way, I felt I would suffocate and my heart would stop beating. That's how bad it is (at least to me, it is). As much as I would love a warm day, this is way too much for me to handle.

BUT, the day wasn't all bad. A parcel that arrived at the door today did brighten up my day. It was some skin care and makeup products by Artistry. I tried the samples given to me during Bite Of Seattle (food fair that happens every year in the summer) and I find myself falling in love with them thus I ordered a bunch of them online. Best of all it comes with 180 days money back guarantee even if the product is almost used up.

The Time Defiance Skin Refinishing Lotion has to be one of my favourite skin care product now. It leaves the skin so silky smooth after only the first time applying it, I kid you not. It's amazing!

As for the makeup products, I can't find a reason not to love their Essentials Mineral Foundation and Essentials Concealer. I have very dry skin and numerous brands of foundations and concealers made my face look very cakey and wrinkley after a while of wearing them. However the Essentials ones are so fine and light they make my skin look natural. Even on a hot day like today, they didn't melt and didn't make my face look blotchy and shiny. Ahhh...those are what I call, products well made...

Even though it'll be a HOT WOK for the whole week, I at least won't have to look like a blotchy, shiny roast pig :D

After much debating and tons of researching, I finally placed an order for this lovely palette from BH Cosmetics.

My super high footylicious pumps by ALDO arrived in the mail today.

Went dress shopping with my new gal pal today for her prom in David's Bridal.

We both found our dresses at an amazingly bargain price and trust me, they are not cheap looking dresses.

We just got lucky to find those 2 stunning dresses priced below $50 each *gasp*.

No I did not get the red dress since it's not 'wedding photo' appropriate. Just tried it on for fun but still love it very much. *hint, hint*. Well I have no events to attend so no need for a statement dress like that.

Since MoofMoof and I decided not to have a wedding ceremony, we thought it might be nice to just have a photoshoot of me in a wedding dress and him in suits or some sort to commemorate our marriage. We've booked our photoshoot with new and rising photog JenniferTai's Photo Artistry (check out her work, she's really talented) for next month. Btw she's from Malaysia too :D . 

Heya! I'm home! Miss me ke? Phew I'm brought back home by AirAsia.


Was so afraid they'll leave me in Singapore and separate me from my Mama and I'll go "Wa wa waaaaaaaaa bring me back to my Mama. I want my Mama" *stomping my feet on the ground*...Hehehe I'm just being dramatic. You know me, I get very drama when I'm over excited. Why? Because I went with an empty luggage and came back with an excess baggage =O ...I didn't only buy things I wanted to buy but I bought stuff that I accidentally stumble upon. Here's how it went...

On our way searching our way to Clark Quay
Me : Hey which way should we go?
Gaz : I think we should go...*trails off*
Sue : Hey I know, instead of taking the traffic lights, lets get across through that store and go straight...
All of Us: Wokie!

So there we go, trotting hastily towards the store hoping to get to Clark Quay ASAP BUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuT

Me : Wait wait wait! *Droools. Staring wide-eyed at the pretty red thing in front of me...Oooh come to mama, baby!*

Our mission to Clark Quay came to a halt! Sue and I began prancing in the store in green, red, pink, blue you name it we tried it shoes. A shoe lover like me can't resist slipping my feet into those gorgeous heels, can I? Orh lovely lovely shoes...I'm sure the store assistants would have chopped us, grind us into small little pieces and throw us into the river of Clark Quay to feed the fishes if we didn't end up buying something from the store. But of course a shoe hoarder can never come out from a shoe store empty handed right? teeheehee. So here's what mi got for miself :

First of all, thousands of apologies for not having updated my bloggie for centuries. Been real busy collecting various documents for my visa application which fortunately and with much reliefs are finally almost done.

Anyway, I was down in Kay-EL last Thursday to collect my final piece of paper. My stay there extended for another 3 days for the sole purpose of blowing a humongous hole in my savings to the point of having to squeeze every last bit of the juices left in my savings. What can I say, I'm an impulse shopper after all. When I don't shop, I don't spend a penny but when I do shop, expect a catastrophic impact to my financial status >.< ... ok, here goes my transactions history by order:

By the way it was a great pleasure to meet up with Perky and Bibik Nyonya on Thursday, thanks to BigFatWitch. They are a lot of fun to hang out with.

Looking forward to another awesome weekend! I hear it's gonna be FUEL this round.
