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!

:rotflmao:

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 - 白白胖胖 :sad:

I love gelish nails. Seeing them makes me happy!

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.

The beautician in my former company(loreal) told me apply oil-free loose powder as a final touch,will help....For oily face,beta don't put foundation.

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.[/quote]I dun wear accessories too.. I find too heavy for my neck or wrist... Heh... But yes I love dresses... But office was too cold.. Thus prefer pants..

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.

Most impt is balance diet... Have more veg too n if possible eat brown rice instead of white rice, wheat meal bread instead of white bread... N when tempted to snack.. Have dry nuts/fruits or grab an apple to munch..

The Gellish manicure i did was too exp for me to be done frequently. And what’s more the manicurist will usually push packages. Now trying to find healthy snacks so that when I’m in a hurry or hungry, won’t just eat anything that is available and usually which are high in fat and sodium like instant noodles

[Dekora]

Just to add: now I usually buy clothes online to save time on window shopping. When I’m out, I’m like on a mission. Always got a list of things to buy and straight away zoom in on the items heh

[MintyMin]

Same here… I do lots of online shopping… Even for gifts, kids clothes n mine… Except for shoes…

Minimal effort but great effect.
