      Mummies, some tips I’ve been using to save time when in

      A rush- I no longer use foundation just tinted sunblock- so at least removing would be easier too. No mascara- if really need be just fake eyelashes.
      No more painted nails- just top coat so that nails looks healthy and shiny.
      My only problem now is weight loss- cos there is no short cut! Boo!

          Very easy....cut down rice! exercise,exercise n exercise.

          A quick way to lose at least 1kg in a week:

          Meal: fish soup wf mee hoon,drink tea(best green or chinese tea) after each meal....

          Jog or swim at least 20min 3x per wk.

              Mintymin, at least a lip gloss la :hugs: don't bear face la.

              I also do not use any makeup. I just make sure I dress in nice clothes (loves dresses and skirts) and match with appropriate footwear and accessorize. Makeup is seriously too troublesome for me. I have allergic skin so always must keep my face clean.

                Me too. Dropped foundation. Using a tinted sunblock. I don't use mascara and fake eye lashes. But I use lip stick and blusher.

                Just did gelish mani before cny. Nice but a bit too glam for me, perhaps I shd have chosen a less glittery polish.... Usually my finger nails are bare - no polish. Cos need to do housework, how to maintain?!

                Weight loss? I decided I will stay like hello kitty - η™½η™½θƒ–θƒ– :sad:

                    I don't like the idea of putting on makeup...no matter how many times I use cleansing milk, I don't feel my face is clean.

                    Without maid, if we want to eat restaurant food, we just go ahead. Bring maid out for meal, buying her a meal is ok if she can work. Without a maid, we do not face restrictions. Save on water, electricity, gas, cooking oil etc etc.
