Book Update: Belle de Jour

belle de jour, by bitsandtreats

If you think that I’m neglecting my books, well I’m not. I was able to finish the last of my magazines, which is Elle, yesterday and now I’m starting with a new one. Upon searching my archives, I’ve discovered that I haven’t made a post about this last book that I finished.

The beginning of this book was quite boring. What made me continue was the witty remarks made by Belle. There are a lot of witty, crazy and smart quotes but one of my favorites is, “Boys, we don’t dress up for you. We dress up for ourselves or to impress other women. But we don’t dress up for you.” Now how true is that??? I love it!

What are you reading nowadays?

    I'm currently reading the final book of Steig Larsson's Millenium Trilogy, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest.

    Try to read his books or watch the Swedish Movie adaptations of the Girl with a dragon tattoo. She's awesome! I different kind of girl power.

All About Eyes

Lately I’m finding myself obsessed with skin care products, prevention in particular. I'm not getting younger and nobody likes lines and wrinkles, right? I should have done this in my early twenties but those were hard times and we didn’t have enough to support our daily lives, let alone vanity splurges. So now, I’m on hyper mode. I did not place any expectations on this product. I’ve had it with products claiming they can do this and that. I just tried the product thinking that if it works then great, if not then I’ll just find a new one. I wasn’t expecting a dramatic change but 2 weeks into using this product, I noticed that my under eye area has become lighter. The lines are also not as deep as they were before I used this product. I stopped using the Garnier eye products because I’m allergic to them so that means I’m not using any whitening products for that area. I am truly impressed with this product. I didn’t take a before and after photo as I wasn’t expecting this at ...

Alone Time

My good friend Kitten and I were supposed to go out yesterday but she had some unexpected things come up. I needed to buy some stuff as I am packing for a trip and so I went alone. I actually enjoy going out alone as much as going out with girlfriends or MB. It gives me a chance to eat whatever I like to eat and explore new restos. It’s also nice to take my time when shopping. After paying my bills, I had a late lunch at Toast Box: I love Hainanese Chicken. I sometimes cook this dish but it’s too tedious so I settle for eating out. I’m so happy that there are now restaurants that serve proper Hainanese Chicken. Well, except that one above was sooooo bloody. It was swimming in blood when I pulled the meat apart so I had it changed. You know what Gordon Ramsay says, bloody chicken is poisonous. This is the second time I ate at Toast Box and in both times, the chicken was so bloody. After lunch, I started shopping. First stop was Beabi where I bought these: The Sakura thermos on...
