McDonald's X nanoblock

Rachel June 22, 2016 0 Comments

Hello, peeps and welcome back to my blog!

It is already Wednesday and how are you guys holding up so far?
Hang in there, we are halfway there to the weekend!

And today I decided to blog about one of my favourite collections from McDonald's.

I am a 25-year-old adult (am I really an adult now?) but when I see toys or plushies, I am back to my 5-year-old self.

Being able to spoil myself with some toys or plushies is like being a grown up kid who can actually afford all the toys or plushies that I want!

Being a grown up can be fun too until you have to pay your bills, haha!

One of my favourite places to get my toy would be McDonald's because you get food and toy at the same time, what could be better than this?
I have a legit excuse to feed myself some junk food and make my soul happy, who doesn't like that? xD

Okay, let's move on to the fun part!

I am going to share with you guys one of my favourite toy collections from McDonald's, McDonald's X nanoblock.

First thing first, I am sorry that my blog is having some problem in keeping up with the times.
If you noticed something about this image, you would realize that this set of toys came out last year October.

I wanted to blog about this like forever and finally now I have the time to do so. My apologies if this comes a little too late.

One thing about collecting toys from McDonald's is that you need to wait patiently for weeks before you get the complete set of toys. Patient, the key to everything.

It was the longest 3 weeks that I have had in my whole life when I was collecting this set of toys but the satisfaction when you finally got them all was amazing.

In the end, the time that you spent waiting was worth it!

Okay, I am being so dramatic again, back to the toys! xD

Here is the complete collection from McDonald's X nanoblock, I am so in loved.

There are total of 7 different designs and I think they should add McDonald's Sundae Cone in it, don't you guys agree with me? What is McDonald's without their signature Sundae Cone?

Do note that all these nanoblock are prebuilt and you can't disassemble them.

It is fine for me that I can't disassemble them because I tend to lose small stuff easily.

Let me introduce you to one of my favourite McDonald's toy collections.

They seriously need to add Sundae Cone or Chicken McNuggets into the collection because I feel that this is not the complete McDonald's, haha!

Week 1: Big Mac and Fries.

Big Mac and Fries would be my favourite set from this collection.

I am a fast food lover, I love burgers and fries and having your favourite food in this cute nano bricks form is priceless.

You know that kind of joy of having your favourite food printed on a shirt or something. You get what I mean right? Like a pizza sweatshirt maybe? I would love to have that, haha!

Week 2: McFlurry and Pie.

We already have the McFlurry nanoblock so can we have the Sundae Cone next?
Pretty please.....

Week 3: McCafe and Cold Cup.

Do you want to have a cuppa coffee?

Week 4: McDonald's Restaurant.

The McDonald's Restaurant is slightly bigger than the other 6 designs and it is so cute!

Now I have a mini McDonald's at home (which doesn't sell any burgers), haha!

Added another new set of toys to my collections and I love them so much.

I love how tiny they are that I can fit all of them on my "full of junks" desk, they are so cute!

A desk full of happiness (and junks).

What else do you collect from McDonald's?

The famous Hello Kitty plushies?

Because I have them too! ;) I am not a Hello Kitty fan but somehow I felt the need to collect them too.

If you are interested to know, Christopher Tan is the man behind McDonald's X nanoblock.

Thanks for bringing McDonald's to life, in tiny bricks form!

Okay, that is it to this blog post.

I hope you guys enjoy reading and I shall update you guys soon!

Happy collecting toys and plushies!

The toy collector,
Rachel.

10 Questions Review : Natural Clenx Tea

Rachel June 11, 2016 67 Comments

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.

1. What is this product?

Natural Clenx Tea is actually one of the detox/slimming teas that you can get at any drug stores or pharmacies. It is not a new product that is selling in the market, I just came across to this product and decided to give it a try.

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

2. What does this product do?

Natural Clenx Tea helps to regulate your digestive system and bowel movement by cleansing your tummy and flushing out any unwanted toxins.

The result? Slimmer tummy and constipation no more!

3. How to use this product?

Take 1 to 2 tea bags of Natural Clenx Tea after every meal but this tea may be a little strong for some people. My suggestion is to drink it after one of the meals, maybe lunch and see how it goes. If your body is accepting it well then you can drink it again after dinner.

4. Where can you get this product?

You can get it from Caring, Guardian, Watsons or any drug stores.

5. What is the price of this product?

I got mine from Watsons and it contains 25 sachets per box for about RM 28.00++.

There are bigger box available which contains 50 sachets. You can get the smaller one first to try and if you really like it then get the bigger one because usually the bigger one is cheaper than the smaller one.

Bigger box with 50 sachets is selling at about RM 50 - RM 60.

6. What is your experience in using this product?

First thought, WOAH! This tea really makes you poo and then I named it the pooping tea. xD

At first, I drank it everyday after lunch and I found out that I had been going to the toilet for way too many times and it was like suffering from diarrhea.

Then I reduced it to once every other day and that was way much better. Usually if I drink it after lunch, I will poo later in the evening around 7 - 8 pm.

Besides than detoxing and slimming, this tea managed to regulate my toilet schedule which I found really good, at least I can poo regularly now.

After drinking it for a few months, I stopped drinking it unless I have not released anything out for more than 2 days.

Did I manage to lose weight after drinking Natural Clenx Tea?

I did a one month Natural Clenx Tea challenge but bear in mind that I did not drink it everyday. I drank it everyday for the first few days then I reduced it to once every other day and if I went to the toilet in the morning then I would skip drinking it for that particular day.

So throughout the one month challenge, maybe I drank it for like 12 to 15 times.

Here are the before and after pictures for comparison.

I don't think there is any huge difference between before and after but at least I can see that my tummy looks a lot flatter compared to the before picture.

As far as detoxing concerned, it really did a great job.

For the slimming part, the numbers on the scale didn't drop but at least I am feeling less bloated now.

7. Do you like this product? Why?

It was a love-hate relationship between Natural Clenx Tea and I.

Why did I love it?

It helped me a lot in releasing toxins and wastes.

Previously, I had this serious constipation issue and sometimes I only went to the toilet for like 3 times a week. And you know what happens when you don't constantly release your waste, BLOATED BELLY.

Another good thing about Natural Clenx Tea, it actually helped me to regulate my toilet schedule.

Before this, I drank it everyday just to make sure that I can poo daily. Then, I reduced it to once every other day and now, I can poo daily without drinking it.

No more constipation issue.

To me, Natural Clenx Tea is really good for those people who are suffering from constipation.

Why did I hate it?

I drank it after lunch and usually waste will be released later in the evening. The problem with releasing waste was my tummy would hurt like hell, seriously hurt like hell and sometimes I needed to go to the toilet for more than twice.

I am not sure how your body will react to it but remember, don't drink it if you have somewhere else to be at during evening or night time. Who knows your tummy's reaction would be the same as mine. Running around looking for toilet is not cute at all, haha!

Overall, Natural Clenx Tea is really a great product and I am really satisfied with it (minus the tummy pain).

8. Will you recommend this product to a friend?

Yeah, highly recommended for those people who are suffering from constipation. Natural Clenx Tea really helped me a lot.

9. Will you repurchase this product in the future?

I will only repurchase it if I need it in the future. As I said in #7, it really helped me in regulating my toilet schedule and now I am able to go to the toilet daily. I don't think I need to poo so many times in a day, haha!

10. Out of 10, how would you rate this product?

I would rate it 9 out of 10.

You know why I gave it a 9, without that crazy tummy pain, it would be a perfect 10.

Maybe it was too strong for my tummy to handle because my sister who is still drinking it regularly seems to be okay with it. She has no pain and no complain at all.

You need to try it yourself and see how your body reacts to it. It may be too strong for some people and it may be working great for some people.

Okay, that is it to my review post on Natural Clenx Tea.

I hope you guys would somehow find it useful if you are planing on trying Natural Clenx Tea.

Always remember, you know your body well. Listen to your body, if you find yourself going to the toilet for way too many times then try to reduce the intake of it.

Different people will have different body and you know your body well.

Happy detoxing and slimming.

Love,

Rachel.

Taking My Cardio Workout To The Next Level

Rachel May 31, 2016 0 Comments

Hello people and welcome back to my blog!

First question, any shopaholic over here?

I am one and is anyone care to join my squad?

We can go shopping together and I won't judge, LOL! xD

My job has been driving me crazy lately and I needed something to keep me sane.

That was one of the reasons why I have been splurging like a rich girl for the past few weeks.

When I am stressed, I don't eat desserts. Stop telling me that stressed spelled backwards is desserts.

Uh uh, it ain't happening to me.

This is what works for me, "Shopping is my cardio."

You gotta work hard girls on that cardio! ;)

And now I am going to share the result of my "cardio workout".

I did my "cardio workout" at H&M, Forever21, Padini, Uniqlo and Kitschen.
These are some of my favourite places to go to when I need some retail therapy.

1. H&M
I had to get this one because it is a freaking box of fries asking you to kiss it.
I love to eat fries and fries are life!

Embrasse-moi means kiss me in French because fries speak French. French fries, get it?

Okay, it is a lame joke and let's move on.

Little black dress is what every girl needs in her wardrobe and I needed one too, especially with the cool back design of it.

I am so in loved with the back of this dress, how cool is that?

Okay, I got the sweatshirt and dress and I needed something casual for everyday wear.

I decided to get this top because I love how casual it is and the peekaboo effect at the back.

Ignore about how crumpled the top is, I didn't have the time to iron it. xD

Rompers, the lazy girl's everyday outfit.

And when you find a romper with pockets, you have to get it!

2. Kitschen
I have been obsessing over crop tops recently and I got these two from Kitschen.

This navy blue crop top would be my favourite one because it doesn't show too much of my skin and I have a statement necklace that actually goes very well with it.
It is a WIN!

The other crop top looks rather simple and plain at the front but kinda cool at the back.

Surprise surprise from the back. =P

Looking back at my new clothes, I realized that I really love outfits with more details at the back.

3. Padini
Another romper that I got from Padini for the lazy girl's everyday wear and yes, I love the open back detail of it.

Why do I even need this?
Because it is a pink shirt with polka dots, so cute!

And that legging pants are from Uniqlo. Trust me, it is the comfiest legging pants on Earth.

I gave up my jeans for these legging pants.

4. Uniqlo
I am a Mickey Mouse fan and if I see anything Mickey Mouse, I must have it.

It is actually a guy t-shirt but luckily they have it in size S.
Although it still looks a little baggy on me but I still want to have it.

You can never have enough t-shirts.

And also singlets, had to get this one too.

I love how this gives you a beach vacation kind of feeling. I am so gonna save this for my next beach vacation.

Shorts are my best friend and I love everything with anchor print on it.

12. Accessories
Lastly, some accessories to mix and match with my new outfits.

That is it, those are the things that I got from my "cardio workout".

This is what I will be doing when I am stressed.
Shopping is the best therapy on Earth until you realize that you are broke, haha!

***Crying on the pile of new clothes***

Sometimes you gotta treat yourself right because no one else will.
A little retail therapy to make your world a better place again!

Rebecca Bloomwood from Confession of a Shopaholic understands this. xD

Back to reality, back to work!
Work hard, spend hard huh?

Looking forward to the next payday so that I can splurge like a boss again!
LOL! I am joking.

Remember, when you are stressed, go shopping!

Happy shopping, girls!

The girl who loves to shop,
Rachel.

BANANANANA

Rachel May 22, 2016 0 Comments

BELLO! BANANA! PAPAYA!

STRAWBERRY AND WATERMELON!

If any of you understand Minion language, those are so not Minion language, haha! xD

I don't speak Minion so hello everyone and welcome back to my blog!

Remember I mentioned about meeting my long lost lover at Universal Studios Singapore in my previous blog post?

Here it is, my so-called long lost lover.

Let me introduce you to my soulmate, Minion!

BELLO!

I love Minion but honestly, I don't know what is the name of this Minion.

Yeah, I know. How can I qualified myself to be a Minion fan if I don't even know their names?

Gru knows and remembers each and every Minion's name.

But I do have my favourite Minion which is Bob.

Any Bob fan here? And why do you like Bob?

Because of how stubby he is? xD

ALL HAIL KING BOB!

Bought this King Bob vinyl figure from Takashimaya and it was only $19.90.

How can you resist those eyes? It is like trying to tell you "Please take me home with you and I will be your king."

I MUST TAKE IT HOME WITH ME!

Okay, back to my long lost lover in USS.

First thing that we saw once we walked into USS, Minion Popcorn Bucket.

Sling over this Minion Popcorn Bucket over your shoulder and that is how you eat popcorn in Minion style.

It seems interesting right?

Every Minion Popcorn Bucket purchased will comes with a bag of popcorn for $35.

It was really tempting to buy one for myself but what am I going to do with it after my day in USS?

It would be cool and very theme park style to carry one of those around but, what am I going to do with that?

In the end, I didn't buy it. I was unable to convince myself that I actually needed one. :(

It is okay, let's headed to Minion Mart.

I might find something else there, right?

And we have some painting issue here!

YOU SAY HELLO, I SAY BELLO!

BELLO MINIONS!

Cute tiny potion bottles filled up with Minion Candies but those are too cute to be eaten.

Those would be my decorative item at home if I bought them.

It seems that only Minions can rock with these glasses but not human, haha!

Thought I would look cute in this yellow cap but I actually look like a contractor worker.

There are few distorting mirrors in the store but we look like an alien instead of Minions.
Maybe we should paint ourselves yellow to look more Minions, haha!

My favourite picture in USS, Easter Minions and Us.

At the end of the day, I figured that I seriously need to buy something from Minion Mart.

Just anything yellow that I can keep it as a souvenir so I decided to get this.

It is actually a photo frame with a magnet at the back of it so I can just stick it anywhere I like.

We can have a Disneyland so why not a Minionland?

I would be freaking happy!

Waiting patiently for Minionland to be a reality. xD

I had a lot of fun when I was in USS, another awesome memory to keep.

I am looking forward to another holiday trip!

Okay, it is time to say goodbye to my Minions.

Thanks for making me smile like a kid again. =)

The girl who loves Minions,

Rachel.

Sunday Morning Got Me Like...

Rachel May 14, 2016 0 Comments

Good morning beautiful Sunday!

Picture was not taken this morning, I took this picture a few days ago.
It is not everyday that you get to witness such a beautiful morning sky. #blessed

I hope that you are having fun on this beautiful Sunday since Sunday is #sundayfunday.

I had been working for the past few weekends and honestly, it was really tiring.
I mean like who would want to work during weekend, right?

But now that I don't need to work during the weekend and guess what, I am feeling so bored right now.

Human, you can never satisfy one.

When I need to work during weekend: Oh God, please kill me. I need my "me time" at home.
When I don't need to work during weekend: Oh God, please kill me. I am so bored right now.

So what should I do now?

This is what I have been up to for the past few minutes.

#selfie

And I decided to blog about it. xD
This is how bored I am right now.

Okay, thanks for stopping by to see how bored I am!

To all those people who are having fun on this #sundayfunday, you are one lucky kid!

kthxbye, I seriously need to find some interesting or meaningful things to do in my life.

See you guys soon!

Happy Sunday!

The girl who blogs out of boredom,
Rachel.
