I don’t go for manicure/pedicure or facial sessions. Even when I was working. I do put on foundation and lipstick. I have never really perfected the art of using eyeliner.


Now that I am a homemaker, I still put on B.B. cream and tinted lip balm. I feel good when I look good.

my fingers and toes are disastrous.
I still draw eye brows everyday and apply lipstick whenever I go out. hair is important...crowning glory mah.
haven't gone for facial for a long time.
nights, I put sleeping mask. I feel confident when I look presentable. dressing wise, not that fantastic...since I patronise supermarkets and nearby malls, but I would make an effort to wear long pants when I go to town.

my son ran into our room excitedly near bedtime...he received 3.9 for his GPA in the first semester exams.

Congrats! He has done very well.

Went for a company organised grooming workshop once. Was in my early 20s then. Left in the middle of it.


Basically the trainer told us that we should never leave the house barefaced and perfume completes the package. She basically said that it is rude for women to leave the house without any makeup on. It is akin to leaving the house without clothes. Those were the times when in the corporate world, women should wear stockings and preferably wear skirts or dresses and not pants.

Did not agree with me. Even then, I was very sensitive to smell and a lot of times I end up being nauseous or with migraine because of some overpowering perfume someone was using. I kept thinking why need to draw this and that on our faces. What’s wrong with our natural lip colour? Why need to turn it pink or red or purple? A lot of times I see women looking worse than before they slapped on all those makeup. For me, even during my corporate days, I use very minimal makeup. Most of the time I am bare faced or if I look a bit washed out that day, some loose powder and blush.

Thanks Starlight.
I hope daughter will get motivated to work hard...I explained to her I'm not comparing, but the feeling of getting good results is really great and it's a wonderful reward which cannot be bought.

You shared an interesting insight.
I think there are just many interesting pple around and though I shared my encounter, I will not take it to my heart much.

To continue, when dh saw the chicken parts, he asked how many chicken did I buy

The in thing is to look natural. Gone are those days of makeup and artificial look with liners.

It's more impt how we carry ourselves & what comes fr our speech. A heavily made-up tai tai with expensive adornments & dressing does not make a refine person.

We shld look beyond makeup into the beauty of each individual & not the prop-up, artificial external. Just being yourself, and being friendly & pleasant is what I prefer to deal with - the inner beauty of each friend I meet.
