QTTO MAKE ME SKINNY PLS

Dr Scholl's QTTO Socks

These have been on the market in Hong Kong for a while now

It's suppose to release fatique and pressures in your legs and also reliefs of water retention problems, which is actually a pretty common problem for girls and causes their legs to look/feel/be bigger than they really are!

I've finally read about a few user's comments and decided to try them out

They retail for about $249HKD (a little bit on the pricey side I think)

I've only tried them for one night but here's what I think:

• they don't feel tight or too snug for sleeping, even for my abnormally massive calves, which is good, because who wants to be uncomfortable when they're sleeping?
• i forgot to measure my legs before and after wearing them to sleep (maybe I'll do that tonight) but my legs felt less tense than usual when I woke up
• i've always had really tense legs (since i was quite young actually), and after one night, i felt that my legs didn't feel as tight and tense after my walk from the train station to work. 

Overall I think they were pretty good for the first night and I'm definitely going to keep using them. I'll keep posting if anything DRAMATIC happens (I doubt it) 

cheap alternative

i thought it over and over

i couldn't justify $2499 for a wallet at the moment

even if it's so beautiful and metallic and pink and mercibeaucoup,

i jus couldn't

so here is the cheap alternative

for a mere $280

my beloved skurvy (that makes 3, a full set!)

mak loves mac

i'm a HUGE sucker for mac cosmetics

i'll buy anything from any of their collections

usually i'll buy mostly eye shadows (i've built up quite a collection of their eye shadows....)

lately i've been buying more nail polishes 

there's a new collection coming out in March (I believe)
RIVETING collection

3 matte nail polishes in a silver, black and brownish tan shade

how to choose? 




P.S. the PENULTIMATE eyeliner that's with this collection is also really good 
i bought it with the previous release and loved it!

Oh, China.

Went to Ocean Park yesterday for Fung's birthday.

Overall it was a good experience but there is one huge huge huge huge HUGE complaint.

Honestly, Chinese people wonder why they have such a bad reputation

Yesterday, probably about 70% of the people in the park were from Mainland China.

They were so rude, so disrespectful, inconsiderate and lacked common courtesy

I saw them actually push MANY people out of the way in order to get ahead in the line

Many of them tourists, children or families. 

Even after they pushed you, they would have the nerve to give you dirty looks.

Seriously, WTF. 

I can't really explain the way I feel about this except that I think it's crap

I can't imagine us ever having to rely on a society like this which seems so uneducated and inproper

What a total turn off.

to buy or not to buy?

mercibeaucoup

wash or not to wash

do you wash new purchases before wearing them?

i know some people are really keen about washing before wearing but how do you stand the wait?! don't you just want to wear new purchases right the way?

i know i do!
