ArE yOu mOist enOugh?

1 Malaysia Greetings to All!

How many of you out there (whether you are female or male) wish to have smooth, silky and adequately moist skin like baby's skin? If you are raising your hand to indicate yourself, you are at the right post and at the right time.



Since the day you started on skincare products, you might have heard your beauticians or dermatologists emphasizing the need to always moisturise your skin especially areas such as the neck and hands. You may have the face of an angel but a woman’s age is written all over her hands and neck. I heard of this when I was in my teenage years, from my "Grooming" teacher during one of the extra curriculum activities. Similarly, one can have beautiful nail art done on her nails but if the skin is not moist enough, wrinkles on the hands will spoil the overall look of the hands. For instance the picture below:



To most Malaysians living in this particular hot & humid climate, we are usually expose to Mr. Sun and there's no doubt that most people would admit that their skin is indeed NOT MOIST ENOUGH.

Don't despair

Recognising the need for daily skin hydration and replenishment, Vaseline unveiled its Amazing Skin care range with products designed to meet specific skin care needs:



Total Moisture which ensures 10X more moisturisation and protection, especially for dry skin. Equipped with vitamins E, soy and oats, it infuses sufficient moisture across all layers of skin, leaving adult skin feeling supple and healthy. Ideal for application during the day especially for those spending time in an air-conditioned room all day long.

Intensive Rescue contains Glycerin, which triples moisture and Occlusive, which helps to lock moisture in all day. This advanced formula specifically designed to prescribe strength moisturising to help heal dry skin. This range suits my family and myself ,to be used during bedtime and to counter the dryness from overnight air-conditioning:


I would also use it for my crack heels:



and also on my twin's eczema dry areas especially after their swim.


Aloe Cool and Fresh enriched with aloe vera and cucumber extracts to deliver refreshing hydration. Its light formula ensures skin is smooth and silky while staying nourished. It’s so fresh and I love the aromatic scent which is soooo irresistible. This is ideal for an active day out during travelling or when on vacation.



Healthy White contains yogurt serum and vitamin B3 with triple sunscreen protection to hydrate skin and bring out the healthy fairness & radiance of the skin. This range would be ideal for my freckled skin especially when I’m out in the sun alone or with my family.





The wide range of Amazing Skin from Vaseline offers consumers like me an option to look youthful below my chronological age (age shown in my I.C)!!



The consolation would be when I hear friends and relatives commenting that I don't look like a mother of 4 (in fact some thought I'm single/ no children yet!).
Quote from my friend Susan "You look more like a "Tai Kar Cheh" (Big Sister) than a mother to your 4 kids". These are the PRICELESS compliments you will get when you know the secret to keep your skin moist enough to look younger!
(Sssssh !tell you a secret- I'll forever be in my 30's this year - 2010 my last year to be below 40)

For those NUFFNANGERS who are contest freak/ contest addict just like me, Vaseline is having a contest especially for you Nuffnangers so that you can all celebrate YOUR amazing skin.

All you have to do is tell them – Are You Moist Enough? – in the most creative way possible, and you could win invites to the Celebration of Amazing Skin by Vaseline poolside party, exclusively for Nuffnangers!

Online Maths Tutoring

Maths is one of the subjects I used to fear & dislike in school.

Perhaps things would have been different if I had found this online tutoring way back during my school and college days.

At least kids these days have the options of online tutoring such as TutorVista's online tutoring which can help them ace topics in the following Maths Subject:

1) Pre Algebra,
2) Algebra equations,
3) "How to divide"
4)Standard Form (Standard form is a way of writing down very large or very small numbers easily.)

5) Slope Formula (The slope can be defined as the tangent of the angle the line makes with the x-axis or the derivative of a function, )
6)Math Word Problems

At the end of the tutorial students are given Maths Practice Test to help them study more in less time and also to check the math knowledge they have gained. The test will test their mathematical skills and can be written in many ways based on the topics; few topics only need general calculations and few need complex calculations. After completing the test, it gives out the result based on the student's performance.

Would you consider signing up your kids for such online tutoring if you are a busy mom who does not have time and not so skillful in Maths like me?

Address Plaques, Numbers & Signs

During recent public holiday of Nuzul Quaran, hubby decided to spend some time taking us round to see nearby showhouses and some new residential area with newly built bungalows & houses.

Some of these big bungalows and houses have address plaques which are rather unique and nice. Some of the address plaques and numbers were pretty cool and stylish.

After seing those address signs, address plaques and numbers, I was inspired to get something unique for my own home.

After searching through the internet, I found out that these address plaques generally come in three sizes: petite, standard and estate. Petite size address signs are smaller and are a perfect fit for smaller areas and doors like my home.

Standard size address signs are larger and may display extra lines of text.

Estate size address signs are the largest and work well for larger sized homes or yards where a large-scale sign will better accent the home.

This search also gave me a new idea of what to get for a friend's housewarming or rather "bungalow warming" next month. Perhaps I will get more ideas of these sorts here.
