        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.

        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

            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

                  Yup, I don't use accessories much too. Just necklace (perpetually on the neck, never removed except for cleaning), earrings, ring and watch.

                  Aiya, office airocn come from ceiling right? Never mind la, wear dress! Works wonder.

                      My skin is in an acceptable condition. I only use makeup when I attend functions or special occasions. Apart from that, nah… Too lazy and no time for that… I love dresses, match with suitable belts and heels and off I go…

                        I love dresses too! Save the time and effort to coordinate but the ironing is terrible! Iron the top, the bottom will crumple. Pants are the easiest to iron heh
