Trollbeads...
How many of you out there are familiar with Trollbeads? (❦ ᴗ ❦ ✿)

To be sincere, I'm not familiar with Trollbeads as I'm not really into jewelry field. I always wanted one, but it's a bit pricey for me to afford it. If you have a good look on the above image, you will notice that the concept of Trollbeads is 'beads on bracelet'. If we talk a about bracelet in Malaysia, most of the people will probably think of Pandora and Thomas Sabo instantly (I can guarantee).

☆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━☆☆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━☆


The Differences
But, do you know the difference between these brands? (≖ ‸ ≖ ✿)
Or you just following the trend blindly just because people share about them on social media?

Let's have a quick review on the differences between Trollbeads, Pandora and Thomas Sabo.

Trollbeads
Founder: Lise Aagaard
Origin: Copenhagen, Denmark
Founded Year: 1976
Known for: Beads, Bracelet

Pandora
Founder: Per Enevoldsen and Winnie Enevoldsen
Origin: Copenhagen, Denmark (Manufacture in Thailand)
Founded Year: 1982
Known for: Charm Bracelet


Thomas Sabo
Founder: Thomas Sabo
Origin: Lauf an der Pegnitz
Founded Year: 1984
Known for: Sterling Silver, Charm Club collection


As I was researching about the brands, I was shocked on a few facts. One of it was about Pandora. it was manufactured in Thailand (that's a shocking fact for me). Another shocking fact according to the above information, Trollbeads is the senior among these three brands.

Since three of them have the similar range of product, let's have a look on their bracelet:
From my personal view, 
Pandora's design is more feminine, suitable for girls.
Trollbeads' design is more classic, suitable for both guys and girls.
Thomas Sabo's design is more simple, suitable for girls and maybe guys.

Of course, each one of them have their own specialty and concept. 
Which is your favorite? (❦ ᴗ ❦ ✿)
 

☆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━☆☆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━☆

The Trollbeads Story

Trollbeads was founded in year 1976 at Copenhagen, Denmark.

The story of Trollbeads began when Soren “Silversmith” Nielsen created the first Trollbead, Faces.
The Faces consists of six silver beads with different faces. Instead of hanging the bead from an eyelet, Nielsen placed an opening through the center of the bead so that it could pierced through by the leather cord, which made it special during that time.


Later on, his sister, Lise Aagaard who is also the founder of Trollbeads, began to place the beads on silver bracelets instead of the leather cords. That is how the signature bead bracelet was created.

☆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━☆☆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━☆

The Trollbeads Now
For every Trollbeads they made, every each of it has their own story and memories. As of today, more than 90 designers have contributed to Trollbeads and Trollbeads has more than 600 beads in their collection now. Can you believe how many memories was created?! Although some beads already discontinued but more new collections are coming for example:
The Valentine's Day Collection
Isn't it beautiful?
The design is so classic and elegant. And each of the product actually carried a certain meaning or story which make it a perfect gift for Valentines Day. Guys, if you haven't decide what to buy for your girlfriend on Valentines Day, this might be a good choice for you. (✧ᴗ✧✿)

Trollbeads Tiara
Yes, they even have their own Trollbeads Tiara, which is awesome!
Elegant and nicely placed beads on the tiara, it is very innovative and new for me. It's every girl's dream to put on a Tiara right?  ♡  (ʘ ꒳ ʘ✿)

Moreover, you may also personalize your own 'Beads on Bracelets' to create your own stories and memories too! How great is that!
Just three simple steps and you are on your way to tell your own story.

🌟 Select a Bracelet

🌟 Select Beads

🌟 Select a Lock

**To be honest, the above selection is my own personal favorite combination. A combination of purple theme is definitely my favorite, with beads that symbolize the galaxy and soul. For me, it brings the meaning of being hopeful and be passionate in my life, especially in what I want to achieve.**

Other than beads and bracelet, Trollbeads also expanded their product range to necklace, earring, ring and so on which made more selections available for their customers.

☆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━☆☆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━☆

Where to find Trollbeads?
Trollbeads can be found in 50 countries across the globe including Malaysia.
If you want to look for Trollbeads in Malaysia, you can look for it at:
✨MidValley
✨Sunway Pyramid
✨Vivacity Megamall, Kuching.

I always started my day with a breakfast.
No matter it's a simple or hearty breakfast, it brighten up my day, gives me energy to startup my day.

During my high school time, I always neglected the importance of breakfast. I thought that breakfast is not a necessary meal therefore I skipped my breakfast almost everyday. Until some days, I often have gastric and doctor told me to have my meals in the right time. That's the time that I learned the importance of every meals, especially breakfast.

Normally when we talk about breakfast, most of the people will think of milk because we were educated that way. A glass of milk always appear as part of breakfast no matter it's a TV commercials, advertisement or in text book and even in the cartoon. But how many people actually have milk as their breakfast?

As for me, I didn't have the habit to drink milk every morning. I still have my breakfast, but without milk. Therefore, I took on the Dutch Lady 7 Days Milk @ Breakfast Challenge, to challenge myself and to learn more about the goodness of milk.

Firstly, would like to show you all my everyday continuously breakfast (except the first and the last day). Since I am working during weekdays, there's not much I can do to have very super hearty breakfast. So I just gonna show you all the real breakfast that I'm having nowadays, lolz...

Dutch Lady Milk, Fried Meehoon, Sandwiches, Kuih-muih
Super hearty breakfast preparing by my company due to company activity.

Sunday, 25th September 2016
Glutinous Rice Chicken, Dutch Lady Milk
Uncommon combination, breakfast prepared by my boyfriend.

Monday, 26th September 2016
Turnip Cake, Dutch Lady Milk
Turnip cake made by my grandma.

Wednesday, 28th September 2016
Big Breakfast, Dutch Lady Milk
Company's monthly wellness program, free breakfast!

That were my 7 days breakfast routine. I think my body gained some essential nutrients throughout the week, thanks to Dutch Lady.

When we talk about milk, we will think about calcium intake. You get calcium when you drink milk, which is why people say that "if you want strong bones and you wanna grow taller, drink more milk". However, milk does not contain only calcium, it contains other essential nutrients too. Dutch Lady PureFarm milk is rich with essential nutrients, some of which our bodies cannot generate on its own. For example:
  • Protein which helps in our growth and development, such as the building of bones, muscles, and tissue. 
  • Vitamin A is crucial for healthy eye function.
  • Vitamin B2 supports cellular functions that transform food to energy.
  • Vitamin D3 aids absorption of calcium and phosphorus.

Do you aware that most of Malaysians are not getting enough calcium from their daily food intake?
Calcium is very important in building strong bones, teeth, muscles tissue and good nerve. Therefore, we must intake sufficient calcium everyday. Two servings of milk a day helps to meet our nutritional requirement while 1 serving of milk at breakfast can provide 200mg of calcium to jump start our daily nutritional intake.

Thanks to Dutch Lady, I have learned so much about the importance of having milk during breakfast. Since it brings so many goodness within one pack of milk, it's the best to start my day with it being part of my breakfast.

Hello everyone~

Today will be talking about another place for me to shop online for beauty products. It is a very new website which I wanted to share with you all here...

~Althea~

It was a new website which was often shared by many girls recently on website. I always see it on Facebook, Instagram, websites... All sharing about the awesome shopping experience with Althea, can you see how popular the website is after the launch?

By having the clear Vision and Slogan, 
I believe they really can deliver the Korean Beauty to the world!


Since everyone is sharing the awesomeness of the website, I have a look at it also the other day. The header of Althea clearly stated 4 points:

1. Free Shipping above RM150

For me, free shipping is a really good benefits for buyers to consider on buying at that particular website. Althea provide Free Shipping when your purchase more than RM150, which is reasonable. When I really need to stock up beauty products, the price can easily surpass RM150, so I think is quite reasonable condition setup there. Somemore the products are all directly pack and ship all the way from Korea, the courier fees will be expensive, so with this Free Shipping, you no longer need to worry much about the courier fees.

2. Authenticity

Nothing to doubt more as the products are all the way from Korea. It is serves as a one stop Korean beauty product shopping website. You can get the latest products from their website and they guarantee all the products are authentic. If you found out that the product is not authentic, just prove it, and you shall get your refund right away.



3. Best Price

You can always get the products at the best price. No longer need to worry about the price because you will get the product at the same price as the Price they selling in Korea. No need to travel far to Korea just to get the best price, now you can shop at Althea to get the best price! (The price is cheaper compared to others~ *wink*)


4. 30 Days Return

You may return the product if you are not satisfied with it. Just provide your reason of dissatisfaction, and you can send it back to Althea. It's the best thing they have provided since sometimes, not all is perfect. If really I got a defect products, I would consider to return to the seller too. So the 30 Days Return promises is really a good news for all the buyers.

If you have any questions, just leave a message for them. I never try before, but i heard that their customer service is good. 

Still unsure about their service?
They even have a tab to show why shoppers love Althea. The first comment here already showed the positive feedback from customer. SO why not give Althea a try?

Let's begin a journey to Korea with Althea now.

Now I have a new place to shop for Korean Beauty Products.

Thank you Althea.

Hello people!
Today I'm going to blog and join a contest to win a trip to Taiwan because I really want to revisit Taiwan again! I went to Taiwan 3 years ago and I don't think I explore enough for Taiwan during the previous trip. Always wanna go to Taiwan again but I gave myself to much excuse such as "No Time lah", "No Money lah", "Busy lah" and so on... So I ended up not going to Taiwan yet.

But as for today, I saw The Butterfly Project together with Taiwan Tourism Bureau Kuala Lumpur are having a blogging contest to send one of the butterfly to Taiwan... I was like: "OMG, I am definitely 100% joining this contest!" lol... All of the sudden become extra supportive towards this contest and of course I wanna earn my travel ticket too, an opportunity to travel to Taiwan.

So the above banner was posted at The Butterfly Project Facebook page. Basically there are 3 themes altogether, which are the Time to Eat, Time to Shop and Time for 2 Wheels (LOHAS Lifestyle). If you notice my blog post title, I will be using the Time to Shop theme because I really want to go and shop till drop there in Taiwan.

Why Taiwan?
During my young age, I watched a lot of Taiwan entertainment shows on TV. Therefore, I have my own concept about Taiwan which are... Taiwan has four season and its trends there are pretty much closer to Japan. LOL. As I grew "older", I realized that not only the fashion, beauty trend there were closer to Japan trend, I also noticed that their places, food and cultures there are nice too! During my last visits to Taiwan, I noticed that the people there were kind, polite and helpful. So that's why I wanna revisit Taiwan to explore more.

Why Shop?
Which girl don't like to shop? lol. Well, I'm the kind of girl that likes to shop a lot. Although I didn't buy a lot at a time (because I don't wanna spend all my salary, lol), still I buy the things that I want the most especially shirts, dresses and beauty products. When I saw the photos of my friends went to Taiwan and the things they bought, I was so jealous and I hope I was there in Taiwan together with them and shop. So if you ask me what will I do when I'm at Taiwan, the answer will be shop then eat a lot of nice food.

Which place I wanna visit the most!
1. Xi Men Ding
source
During my last visit, I stayed at Xi Men Ding. It's a very cheerful place full of tourists and locals. And most importantly it's a shopping paradise! At there, you can easily shop for clothes, dresses, shoes, souvenirs, bags, beauty products and a lot more! I still remembered I bought a lot of cosmetics at SaSa and a hypermarket kind of place at there. If you are hungry, there's a lot of shop to hunt for good food. Even during night time, the place still crowded with people, you can simply spot some street food there while you walking down the street. 

Even during night time, the place still crowded with people, you can simply spot some street food there while you walking down the street. Above picture taken during night time at Xi Men Ding with my sister three years ago.

2. Taipei 101 Mall

Another place to shop! But a bit pricey. For me, Taipei 101 Mall is more towards a tourist attraction. People went there for sightseeing more because you can go up to the top of the mall and look at the beautiful scenery, especially the night scenery. 

Here's an example. lol. 
As you can see the view up here at Taipei 101 Mall is so pretty, especially at night when all the lights were lit up! It's a must visit place there in Taiwan. After the visit, you can shop in the mall for more branded stuffs. lol. I didn't buy lot of stuffs there but there's a lot places around the mall that I visited and mostly were shopping malls. lol. I also visited a large bookstore around that area and I bought a lot of books there because it was way cheaper than the book price in Malaysia.

3. Wufenpu Clothes Market

source
Didn't get any old photos for this one. I kinda regret during my previous visit to Wufenpu because on the day I visited the place, most of the shops were only available for bulk purchase. Individual purchase was at another day, so I didn't get the chance to buy much from there. Therefore, I definitely wanna visit Wufenpu again in the coming Taiwan trip to shop for nice clothes in cheaper price! I wanna explore more because it's a big place and heaven for a shopaholic like me.

4. Night Markets

I definitely wanna go all the night markets in Taiwan. There are few very famous night markets in Taiwan such as Shilin Night Market, Raohe Night Market, Shida Night Market and so on!

source
It's a must go place in Taiwan, the Night Markets. Whenever people talked about Taiwan, they will mention about the night markets there. I went to Shilin Night Market before, and you couldn't believe the crowd there and the amount of stalls there which are selling various kind of foods and drinks. At Shilin Night Markets, most of the stalls sell food. However, I heard that Shida Night Market is selling foods and some clothes too, maybe I should visit Shida Night Market on the next Taiwan trip. Shop at night markets in Taiwan is one of the must must night activities that you don't wanna miss out.

There's still more that I want to explore in Taiwan other than only shop and eat. I can say that Taiwan is a nice place to visit, whether you are there for shopping, food, lifestyle or sightseeing, it's a suitable place. Hope that I can gain another opportunity travel ticket to Taiwan again for more explorations and shopping!

Hello people!
Finally finished my assignments and it's time to blog about an event that i have attended last month.
Thanks to Hair Depot and The Butterfly Project for the invitation. I felt lucky to be one of the 10 bloggers who attended the event. This event was held last month on 18th May 2014, at e@Curve. Basically, it's a makeover challenge featuring their latest hair curling product, the Auto Spin Curler. 10 bloggers will be separated into 5 teams and do a makeover by using their Auto Spin Curler within 5 minutes. The one with the best curl will win a Auto Spin Curler.

So what is the Auto Spin Curler and what so good about it?



The video shows the way to use the Auto Spin Curler in detail. As you can see, it was pretty easy to use. lol. You just need to take some of your hair and curl it by pressing the button. The best thing of it is that you save more time in curling your hair and it makes curling easier for us.

The whole challenge started by the explanation and introduction to the Auto Spin Curler. We have to learn how to use it for the makeover challenge.

Since it's not my turn yet, i decided to stand at the side and watched how other bloggers did. (●ω●✿)

My partner, Jennifer and I are listening and watching seriously on how to use the curler. 

Among the 10 bloggers, my hair is the shortest. I was super extremely nervous because i seldom use hair curler, and i cannot brain how to curl such a short hair of mine. 。・゚゚・(>д<)・゚゚・。 My hair was so short till i can't even see how i did on my hair. lol.

No choice lah... Have to do the makeover challenge also. Kinda yolo all the way and kinda miserable when curling my short hair. (≖︿≖✿)

See my face also know i dunno how to use the curler. 
Was thinking: "Die liao, the direction button so confusing. (◕︿◕✿)"


I still try my best to not burn my face curl the hair. For me, i personally think it was very difficult to curl short hair because i cannot even see how my hair is curled. I have to feel it based on my hand and the curler kept on get stuck on my hair at first because my hair is short and i not really know how to use it.

Luckily after 2 - 3 minutes, i started to get used to it and i managed to curl my hair faster.(〜 ̄▽ ̄)〜

Finished and times up! (っ◕ヮ◕)っ

Let me show you all the difference for before and after the challenge.
BEFORE

AFTER
So much difference! Σ(●゚д゚●)

My pretty partner of that day, Jennifer.

I would also like to thanks Tammy, who guided all of us throughout the whole event. 
Please get well soon. (◕‿◕✿)

Tammy gave her speech before the whole event ends. After that, it was time to announce the winners! And we have 6 winners who won the Auto Spin Curler.


I won the Auto Spin Curler! (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧
Thanks to everyone who helped me throughout the challenge.

Thanks to Kah Mon for helping me took photos when i was doing the makeover challenge.

Last but not least, group photo before we all went home!
