Yay a few days ago I received my Hugo Boss fragrance prize won from blogging about Hugo Red fragrance recently launched at Sogo KL. I can't believe I won (happy until headache) I got the news after midnight from the hardworking people who organized the contest (arigato). Of course I wouldn't have made it so far as a blogger without the support of my readers (arigato). With my blog birthday coming I'd like to see hot guys for a change instead of showing them on my blog. With the fragrance prizes I have - Hugo Red 75ml EDT, Hugo Just Different 100ml EDT & Hugo Men 100ml EDT worth over RM200 each. I will give it away to the top 3 hottest man my readers have. Hot doesn't mean just in terms of looks, it can be intelligence, his style? his smile, his sexy eyes that penetrates your very soul. Show me your Man and three winners will win a Hugo Boss fragrance from me!

The prizes will be processed and you will be contacted by Mentholatum to pick it up (wee thanks muaks muaks Mentholatum!). Congrats again and thanks for joining my Krabi Kayak hand patah but happy and rocking giveaway.
Hi..I never know Krabi would be that beautiful..Thank you for sharing the photos and experience with your readers..I'm definitely gonna put it into a must go place for me then..I bet the kayak part was the most memorable for both you and your fiance because i was once in your situation..thou i'm with my girl bestfriend..and she's very slim and small while me i'm very plus size and big..haha..can you imagine how the canoe will be once we're inside it? I thought it surely be imbalance but surprisingly it does not! A miracle for me! Haha..regarding your question "what takes two to rock!" which I think have the same meaning with "It Takes Two to Tango" idiom but i think "what takes two to rock" sounds much more rockingly crazy and cheeky..haha..so answer to your question I think its just when two peoples that have strong telepathy connection towards each other..I'm not sure what the exact word but its like just through looking at each other eyes you can understand what the other is thinking. There is no need for words. For your situation with your fiance in Krabi I think both of you have the same feeling during the Kayaking..which is let's just get over with it baby! The Kayaking is killing your arms but the experience and memories are priceless and precious to both of you. ^___^
Love the pictures,espcially the one where it looks like the both of you are having such a good time kayaking,making faces and even digging noses. When two people are so connected and so comfortable with each other that's a rocking realtionship :) And that brings me to my answer it takes two to rock an experience, whether it's an awesome moment, a hilarious situation or even a soulful experience, it's always better to have someone to share it with, dont you think?
heyya Tammy, what an awesome holiday you had with your fiance at Krabi ^_^ I wish to go there too, one fine day with my beloved. Well, to answer your question "what takes two to rock?", I would say it takes two to rock a beautiful everlasting relationship :) yeah people can always say that they are content with themselves, but the eternal happiness ? it takes two! doesn't matter with whom we would love the relationship to be, two is the perfect number. relationship between our self and God ? it takes two. between us and partner ? it takes two. or, between us and our pet ? two is still the answer :)
There is PC Fair, Beauty Expo, Wedding Fair, HomeDec and even Education Fair but have you heard of the gifts and premium expo before? I must be living in the dark all this while because I didn't know such expo existed until lately when my friend told me about it. Being quite curios about what the fair has to offer and the prices from wholesaler and retailers, I am going to check this out next week for my company and for myself too. Who knows I could find a really good price to start my own beauty box company? (like there's not enough out there haha) or my own zakka shop. I also think this is a good place for party planners out there in Malaysia. The usual crowd would be coming from corporate to loyalty programme sectors as well as retailers and government agencies. I bet this year since the indie market is trending, they'll be expecting some quite hippie, artsy crowds coming.
The Expo: Malaysia's International Gifts & Premiums Expo (MIGP Expo)
Date: 13 – 15 May 2013 (Monday – Wednesday)
Visiting Hours: 10.00am – 6.00pm
Venue: Hall 4, Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre
looks pretty interesting to check out
I am going to check out the market rates at this expo because when I get married, I would like to make my own wedding favors (that's if I don't turn into a Bridezilla). Also it would be a good place to get inspired with ideas. Example - when I see cute tiny Cinderella carriage boxes I immediately think about having a Cinderella birthday party and inviting all my friends to a magical dinner. When midnight strikes, everyone should tear off their clothes and start disco dancing. Well that's just me and my crazy ideas.
This saying is a driving force in the gift and premium industry. The art of gifting has been practiced on a personal and corporate level. Companies present gifts and premiums to show their appreciation to their customers and partners as well as for branding and incentive programs. MIGP Expo 2013 is making its comeback as the 3-day intensive business gathering for gift & premium suppliers to showcase their latest range of products to potential customers from the corporate and public sector.It is the event where potential buyers visit to source for new gift ideas and meet the industry suppliers face-to-face.
I think this is great to customize your own tote bags

spotted wedding favor boxes!
if you're looking for more elegant & luxurious gifts
this is interesting acrylic display stands, holders!
this is one of the booths I want to check out!
The MIGP website showcases a list of participating exhibitors for this expo which I find quite useful to do research before going because there is a total of 60 booths at this expo! The website also shows samples of the products by exhibitors and a brief introduction on what they do. Here is a list of items that will be showcased at the expo. I hope to find some good deals on clearance favor boxes and organza bags! Tell your friends about this expo because it might help them to save or give them an idea on what to do for their upcoming event or business.

Being a fan of spas particularly the luxurious ones in the heart of the city, my heart melted into a creamy pile of mud that you can almost feel the zebras trampling on it. I live and breath spas, if not shopping, you'll find me hidden somewhere enjoying an hour or two of massage. Imagine my happiness when I was invited to visit Sompotan Spa to hear about the launch of a new line of organic skincare range called Esse (without an i, no the nail polish Essie) from the African bushveld.

skincare that's organic, your skin will love you for it
Let me tell you a bit more about Esse. We know it's an organic skincare and organic skincare means no chemicals were used in harnessing the plant base goodness it carries. Why should we use chemicals anyway to improve our skin condition when mother nature could do that for us? But that don't mean pulling off some leaves and massaging it on your body. There's a science to it and a whole load of more complicated matters involving producing a line of skincare. Which is why I am inviting you to watch this video introduction about Esse by Trevor Steyn, the founder and brainchild of Esse.

Esse products are certified organic with a stamp!
I don't come across many spas that uses organic products. Sompotan Spa here is one of the rare gems that uses Esse organic skincare line that is natural, biodegradable and free of parabens, petrochemicals, synthetic fragrance & synthetic colorants. Ask for evidence to the claim and you'll probably be shown a list of stamps with a cute rabbit. Make sure you know what the stamps are!

Edith Lam and Jaime Yap (directors of Esse) explain why the ingredients are formulated from Africa. Giving an example that I will now try to explain, Africa is a really hot place with wild animals, yet plants are still thriving under the harsh conditions. The plants survival was the key to Esse's formulation. A few key active ingredients used in Esse was Rooibos extract (we drank Rooibos tea earlier), Baobab Seed Oil, Marula Seed Oil and Kigelia Africana Fruit Extract. All which possesses powerful ingredients to maintain and optimized skin health.

Just click here to read the extensive ingredient menu from Esse. There's nothing to hide really, just like Alex not hiding his metro sexual self in taking care of his skin. One of his charms really, just look at his glowing face! He was sharing about the organic facial he enjoyed earlier while the rest of us only had a hand massage. Envious! The facial used Omega 3 oils, such as Rooibos and grape seed extract high in anti-oxidants to prevent and repair damaged skin.

sneak peek at Sompotan Spa (inside)
During the launch, I had the opportunity to meet Megan Tan, founder and Managing Director of Sompotan Spa! (she's such a friendly and open lady). She's been in the industry for over 9 long years with international spa experience. If I had the guts I would ask her to share her stories on how she made it so far to become a successful spa owner (I only dream to own one too but I don't have a clue what the industry is about). Anyway I did ask her about the green spa she was introducing to everyone, her latest spa outlet in Klang that uses only organic skincare products! (I'm guessing Esse all over).
it's a planet on our skin!
As we aged, our skin becomes weaker against pollution and free radicals. We may want to think about the products being used not only at home but the products used on you outside at the spas or massage centres. I still remember Edith (Esse Director) sharing that our skin is an ecosystem of billions of tiny organisms living and playing a huge role in our skin's health. Her and esse's aim is to restoring and maintain that delicate balance while supplementing with actives like Omega Oils, Hyaluronic Acid and potent anti-oxidants.
green spa here I come!
Sounds like a whole new world to me that I have been neglecting all this while. A good reason to go indulge in that green spa when I have the chance to make the billions of living organisms happy.
