Ro Argan Body Conditioner

Ever since i came to Perth, the weather has been playing with my skin. Its so dry!!!! I have a body lotion in my toilet, so i can lather on after i come out from the shower. One bottle on my desk, whenever i am doing my work, i can put some on and another one bottle on my vanity shelf, in case i forget to put some after i get out from the shower (which is MOST of the time).

This went on for a few months before i gave up. Thats when i headed over to Lush and found this miracle. Yes, miracle? because my skin says so. The first thing you would notice when you smell the conditioner from the tub is the SMELL. The tub says it is suppose to leave you smelling like Rose jam. To me...it smells of cream rose jam. its heavenly. Seriously, try to imagine a tub of creamy rose jam. 

I have gone through a tub and i am on to my second tub. So, Ro's Argan body conditioner is like hair conditioner for your body. You slather it on in the shower while you are still wet, leave it on for a bit and wash it off. I was abit skeptical at first, but after i rinsed myself. I WAS SOLD! My skin was moisturised and i smelt amazing. 

I have been using this every night and have been skipping my body lotion routine, but i might have to cut back a little and use it sparingly because its AUD32 a tub/225g. Sometime, i accidentally scoop out too much for one use. :( Its works so well because its packed with richly moisturising ingredients such as argan oil, cocoa butter, cupuacu butter, brazil nut oil, almond oil, shea butter and it goes on. 

This is definitely one of my Perth's staple. i dont think i would like it much if i used it in Kuala Lumpur, due to Malaysia's humid weather. 

EXCELLENCE

I went back to Malaysia for 5 weeks and out of that 5 weeks, i worked for 4 weeks. Back to Zalora, helping Fazil and Azian with some BM translation project. I have to say that 4 weeks working there, i learn most compared to my one year stint before i resigned back in January.

Going back to Zalora, i could relive my love for excel. I never knew i had a hidden love for nerds or a nicer way to say it, someone who excels at excel. :P sorry! i just had too! If you told me 2 years ago i would HAVE to learn excel, formulas, macro and etc, i would have probably stared at the person and say, right? Excel? What else can you do with excel beside creating a school timetable with it? I was wrrroonng. After learning the basics of excel, i was hooked. I thought i was the coolest person when i learned how to =vlookup on my own and NOW i can create my own PivotTable and send out reports. ya, i know right? im the coolest (please shoot me now).

My obsession with excel is crazy that i have been looking for excel training courses here in Perth.

ok, just needed to share my current crazy obsession. its 12.51am, i really need to sleep now.

i need some air

 I care about my skin care regime, i read up about ingredients (i have alot of free time) and what is products are good for my oily/combination skin and etc, but at the same time, i am lazy, less steps the better! I find myself skipping toning.

I concluded that toners are just a waste of time, initially i thought toning is just to get rid of excess dirt that your cleanser didnt get rid of, but i use my clarisonic every alternate days, i am pretty confident that there is no excess dirt or make up on my face. I would look over my toner and move on to my moisturiser. After a while, i found my face tight and dry, i would lather up my Khiel's Midnight Recovery Concentrate at night and break out the next morning. It was really frustrating and annoying! 

I went by Lush to pick up some winter supplies (more on that next time) and randomly decidedly to get their toner water. I used their Tea Tree Oil toner water before this and still had some left, so i got the Breath of Fresh Air to try it out. One of the reasons why i got the toner water....was that i could spritz it. Before i left to Perth, i got the Keihl's Herbal Extract Toner 500ml bottle!! Freaking huge bottle that took so much of my luggage weight and i barely used a quarter of it. I love the product, but im so lazy to wipe it all over my face, especially in the morning because i am always late for class! (keyword: lazy). im loving i can spritz my Lush toner water. ~spritz spritz spritz~

After 3 days of using it, i could feel the difference. My face felt hydrated and i could feel my moisturiser sinking in my skin alot faster! Seriously loving it now, i want to make this as permanent in my skincare regime BUT...i can ony do so after i finish my Herbal Extract Toner...which might take years...

Size comparison :'(

OPI

 

This is long overdue.

Tomorrow marks one month of me being away from home. how time flies. i can still remember trying to pack all my life into two suitcases. i thought i brought ALOT of things, but now when i am settled, i realised...i didnt bring enough things! i need more baju rumah, i need more shorts (i only brought one and its the shortest i own, wth was i thinking?) i need more long sleeves tops because the weather is so confusing, its hot, its cold! and i need a freaking gayung. WHY DIDNT I THINK OF IT?? i cant seem to buy clothes here, everytime i see a piece i like, i look at the price tag, i put it back. i saw a lovely silver sweater at Forever New. its 69.90 AUD after converting its around rm210. i think, i can get the same one at H&M for cheaper OR i say, i might as well get it at ZARA, it'll be more worth it. I try not to buy from their chain stores because everyone dresses the same here. especially the boys, its like copy and paste.

As much as i dont want to admit this, urghh, i am bored. i am bored of being on campus all the time. Should have gone to Melbourne.

Other than my rants, i am officially an aunty!!! my sister in law gave birth to baby Alani Diyanah on 16 March!!!!! my dad who usually talks to me "through" my mom or my cat, he will text me things like this "Mommy wants to know what are you doing?" "Ash thinks your room is messy" - hint to clean up my room.  Now he says "Baby wants to know why you are not studying?"

Its so cute to see my parents swoon over this little baby.

Speaking of studying, IT.IS.SO.HARD.TO.GET.BACK.ON.STUDYING.MODE. i swear, everyday i write down things i have to do which includes doing my assignments, mostly research stuffs but i somehow find other things to do during the day. Cleaning the kitchen seems more interesting, doing my laundry seems more fun and etc. i got to get my head in the game because when April comes, i will be quite busy with my assignments and i have to catch with the rest of the students here.
