Hello Bloggies, welcome back to my blog!

It has been a while since I updated my blog and I just want to let you guys know that I am still very much alive! Today I am back again with another review post on a gym bag (or a multipurpose bag?) that I am currently obsessed with. I have been using it for the past one week and I am excited to share with you guys this gem that I got not longer ago from Kickstarter.

Before we get into the review, let's briefly talk about Kickstarter in case if any of you guys have not heard it before. Kickstarter is actually a crowdfunding platform to help creators to find the resources and supports they need to transform their creative ideas into a reality. There are a lot of projects available on Kickstarter for you to browse through before you decide on what project to fund but before that, you will need to have an account with Kickstarter.

One day when I was browsing the internet aimlessly, I came across BOW's project on Kickstarter where they introduced Quiver: The World's First Multi-Bag to the world. The name itself had already caught my attention because who does not love a multi-bag? Looking through their information and videos on Kickstarter, the first thought I had was "I am gonna fund this project and please make that pink Quiver happen (Pink Quiver can only be unlocked at $50000)". The main reason why I decided to fund this project was because of how compact Quiver is, but still, able to fit quite a lot of stuff in it so yeah, of course I am going to fund them.

Every gym goer, at some point would understand the pain in finding a perfect gym bag that could fit everything from your sport shoes to your sportswear and that of course, including me. I am quite a fussy person when it comes to buying a perfect bag or my dream bag (maybe I should just customize my own bag), be it a handbag, a backpack or even a gym bag. Things such as the size, color, number of compartment and even material will be taken into consideration. I normally go to the gym right after work and I will carry along my gym essentials with me when I leave the house for work in the morning. Honestly, it was quite a hassle to carry both of my handbag and shoes bag (I could not find a gym bag for myself and I decided to settle down with just a shoes bag) at the same time. I could only fit my sport shoes and sportswear in the little shoes bag and had to squeeze the water tumbler, food container (I usually pre-packed my pre-workout meal) and everything else in my handbag. You can imagine how heavy my handbag was and this eventually, hurting my shoulder. It would be great if I could pack everything in a gym bag and carry it on one hand but too bad, there was no luck in finding a perfect gym bag because they were either too big or too small for me.

My life has changed ever since I received my Quiver, it is literally a lifesaver. I am able to pack everything in just one bag and carry it around without any trouble. I love the shoulder strap that comes with Quiver (BECAUSE THEY HAVE IT IN PINK) where I can simply sling the bag over my shoulder and the best part of it is it has a card slot in front of the shoulder strap where you can easily access to all your cards in it. The next thing that I really love about Quiver is the water tumbler compartment at the side of it; simply zip it up to fit a larger water tumbler or zip it down to fit a smaller water tumbler. The main reason why I love Quiver so much is actually the number of compartments it has in just one bag.

Gudetama or as I like to call it, Eggy is one of the adorable cartoon characters from Sanrio (one of Hello Kitty's friends I guess). Eggy appears to be a lazy egg who is feeling "meh" all the time; feeling unmotivated and lazy, just like how I would feel sometimes when I decided to lie in bed doing nothing but feel sad of my life. Yeah, we all have that one moment in life once in a while, nothing to be ashamed of (proud to be me, haha!).

Why did I fall in love with this lazy egg again?

I first saw Eggy a few years back when I was surfing the internet where people would share a bunch of videos of Eggy in a yellow bun form and people would poke its butt with a chopstick to create a pooping Eggy.

Here is a YouTube video of pooping Eggy if you don't quite understand what I was trying to explain earlier. Oh, and it pukes as well.


Don't call me a freak or weirdo first, that is not why I fell in love with Eggy. Uh-uh, not a fan of pooping and puking Eggy. Before I actually fell in love with Eggy, I used to hate it because this egg looked so depressing and I would be like "couldn't you be happier?". Until one day I realized I could actually relate to this egg because feeling "meh" was basically what I felt when I didn't want to face the world. Slowly I started to notice a lot of shops selling Gudetama merchandise and some of them were really cute especially those t-shirts that I got from Uniqlo (click here to read more).


Isn't it adorable? The third black t-shirt is currently my favorite of them all, it is so cute for it to sit in an eggshell and chill like there is nothing else to worry about. The first white t-shirt is what best describe me when there is time where I don't feel like I can "human" anymore, "seriously... I can't...". That is why I fell in love with this lazy egg, I just love how chill and lazy it is, haha!

Okay, I think we should move on to talk about the cafe.



We were seated on this "egg chair" and this question hit me, "can I have one of these chairs at home?". I believe I was not the only one who wished to have one of these "egg chairs" at home, am I right? You guys would love to have one in your home too right? 😁 But seriously, where did they get these "egg chairs", I am curious. 🤔 Can they make a doughnut chair too? Or a burger chair?

Who doesn't love food?

No matter how strict the diet you are on, there will always be cheat days.
You can never say no to food and you can never hate food.

Food is everything, food is life and when we get the chance to eat, we eat like a BEAST!

Few weeks ago, it was my cheat day at Rocku Yakiniku with the beasts!


Ian's selfie skill is ON POINT! xD

Rocku Yakiniku is a Japanese BBQ buffet restaurant and you actually get the chance to experience it in Japanese style charcoal grill.

This is how we grill our meat!


The reason why Rocku Yakiniku is free from all those nasty smokey smell is that it has a good exhaust system (is this how you call it?) around the BBQ pit, something similar to the kitchen exhaust hood where it sucks out all the smoke as it rises.

Greatest human invention!
Thank you for giving us a "smokey smell free" life, we couldn't be more thankful for that. =P

Okay, enough with the "smokey smell free" and let's talk about food.

Before we started grilling, we warmed ourselves up with some sushi, noodles, fried rice and whatever that were available on the counter.

Look at the amount of meat we were grilling at that time.

Never in my life have I eaten so much meat before.
After this, I am on a full body detox program, going vegan for the next few months, haha!

Of all the meat that we ordered, I personally loved the seafood more than anything else on the table.
Just bring me the seafood and I will be happy for the rest of my life. xD

We had salmon, scallop, mussel, prawn and butter fish. They were all freaking amazing especially when we grilled them with the sauce. I'm not sure what kind of sauce was that but it was delicious.


Fresh food and great environment at an affordable price (I still need that free flow drinks though, haha), an awesome place to have a BBQ lunch or dinner with a bunch of friends.

So what are you waiting for?
LET'S GATHER THE SQUAD!

The girl who eats like a beast,
Rachel.

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog.

In this blog post, I will be reviewing on Yves Rocher Pure System Daily Exfoliating Cleanser.

It is hard to get a good facial cleanser that suits your skin. I am not sure about you girls but finding the right facial cleanser for me is like almost impossible.

I had been switching up various kind of drugstore facial cleansers but I still couldn't find one that actually works well on my skin (I have oily skin btw).

One day, I saw Yves Rocher Pure System Daily Exfoliating Cleanser when I was surfing the net aimlessly (basically I was Googling best facial cleanser for acne skin) and I decided to give it a try.

1. What is this product?
Yves Rocher Pure System Daily Exfoliating Cleanser

HOLA ladies and welcome back to my blog!

It has been a while since I last updated my blog because I have been really busy with work and there were just so many things to sort out.

You know that kind of feeling when life gets so overwhelmed and you have no idea what to do next. Yeah, I was going through that kind of phase in life. Tough life, LOL! xD

Phew, let's just put that all away, sit back, relax and start writing or typing in this case.

Recently. I have been obsessing over face masks and I would purchase every face mask that I find interesting, be it a clay mask, sheet mask or any form of mask that is selling out there.

The happiest thing about face mask shopping is that I actually found some great masks that are suitable for my skin. (I have oily skin, like super oily skin)

WIN! It is considered as a great accomplishment to find something that actually suit your skin type.
Girls, you understand me right? =P

Maybe I should write a review on every face mask that I have tried out so far, what do you girls think?

Okay, for today's review post, let's start with Annie's Way face mask first.

1. What is this product?
Annie's Way, Charcoal Black Jelly Mask.


2. What does this product do?
Annie's Way, Charcoal Black Jelly Mask effectively helps in oil controlling, deep pore cleansing and also skin whitening.

I have a really uncontrollable oily skin and this was what I was looking for, something to tame the oiliness of my skin.

To girls out there who have oily skin, you know the struggle.


And it says here "Suitable for over oily skin". Yup, that is my skin you are talking about right there.

3. How to use this product?
First, wash your face with a facial cleanser and apply serum or toner afterwards as a base.

I am using The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil and Clinique Anti-Blemish Solutions Clarifying Lotion as my base before applying the jelly mask.



4, Where can you get this product?
I got mine from Hermo Malaysia, an online beauty store which sells a wide variety of beauty products from Taiwan, Korea, Japan and etc.

So far, I haven't seen any drug stores or outlets selling Annie's Way mask so I am not sure where you can get this other than Hermo Malaysia. (Don't worry, I am not trying to promote Hermo)

5. What is the price of this product?
I bought it during a sales for RM 59.00.

6. What is your experience in using this product?
I am using this mask once a week just to pamper my skin a little or when my skin needs help, haha!

It is really a moisturizing mask and it will not leave your skin feeling sticky at all. I love how it always makes my skin feeling soft and smooth after every use.

You can't really tell the difference it has made to my skin from the picture but trust me, this mask has helped me a lot in oil controlling whereas for the brightening part, I am not really sure. Maybe I should use it more often to see the whitening result.

One thing that I don't really like about jelly mask is that it is kinda hard to remove. Hard as in I can't just splash water all over my face and hope that it will all go away. Uh uh, it ain't working that way because somehow jelly doesn't really dissolve in water easily. The whole sink would end up with black jelly, haha!

Apart from that little messy situation, everything else about this mask is awesome!


7. Do you like this product? Why?
Yup, I really like it! I love how moisturize it is to my skin after every use and it does not make my skin feels sticky or oily.

Besides that, it does help in controlling the oiliness of my skin and this is considered as a big YAY for me as my skin gets really oily maybe a few hours after I wash my face.

From my experience, usually sheet mask will leave my skin feeling sticky and oily, not a big fan of sheet mask.

8. Will you recommend this product to a friend?
Yes, whoever has oily skin like me, I would highly recommend you to try this mask out. It doesn't dry out your skin and it leaves a smooth and moist kind of feeling after you remove the mask.

It feels like silk on your skin, haha!

9. Will you repurchase this product in the future?
Yes, if I can't find any other mask to experiment with. Don't get me wrong, it is a great mask but I love to experiment with all kind of mask out there in the market. Plus, it is a huge tub of mask, I have been using it for the past 4 months and I am not even halfway through it.

10. Out of 10, how would you rate this product?
I would give it a 9 because it smells amazing, it doesn't dry out your skin, it moisturizes your skin and it leaves your skin feeling so smooth after using it.

Okay, that is it for this post.
I hope you girls somehow find it useful if you are planning on trying some new facial masks.

Time to pamper myself with a good facial mask, it is ME TIME!

Wishing you all a great week ahead and I shall update you guys soon in my next blog post.

Love,
Rachel.

Hello humans and maybe aliens from Mars!

After so many months and finally, I am back with another review post.
In today's review post, I will be sharing with you guys on my experience with Natural Clenx Tea.

People have been raving about detox or slimming tea and I have read a lot of positive results or reviews from drinking them, so I thought why not I give it a try and see the result myself.

A few months ago, I did a review on SkinnyMint Teatox, another brand of detox tea that I have tried. Don't forget to read on it as well if you are interested in trying some other detox tea brand.

Okay, let's read on my experience from drinking Natural Clenx Tea.

Detoxing + Slimming = One cup of tea 
Who wouldn't want to give this a try?
