Weekend Reminder: Housemate Rules to peacefully Co-exist

Hooray to Friday, it’s been awhile Ladies. I know this space is about sharing fab finds, sweet deals, and making everything else pretty, but today I am inserting Ladylike Laws to peacefully co-exist with your roommates/housemates. 

Sometimes having to live with an unfamiliar person can be very very tricky, and (ha ha) annoying, but Ladies that shouldn’t be the case. Dressing and looking good isn’t the only recipe to be fully truly beautiful but having that feeling of peace and calmness in your own house, makes a better you. Here are my 5 pointers to help you maintain the Zen in your home.

The Décor – kitchen, living, dining and laundry areas are shared, your style might not be their style. Be considerate to consult before adding anything or making a drastic change.  These shared spaces design should be mutually agreed upon.

The Kitchen- Do your own dishes, that’s the most important. If the utensils and cookware are both for everybody’s use be attentive enough to make sure that it is clean, and no food residue will remain on them ( I personally have horror stories about this, Yikes!).  This creates the most resentment if one has to constantly clean and wash the dishes, follow the Last Touch Rule! The one who uses last should always be responsible to wash it.

The Food – if you want to share food, I think it’s also ok to split the cost evenly. Oversharing sometimes can lead to a misconception that your food is free. Let them know and ask politely, we don’t want money matters to be the cause of an argument. And oh remember people are happy to share but eating their treats … ask permission.

The Guest – always give your housemates a heads up if you have family, relatives and friends who are coming over. More importantly talk and discuss if the stay is for an extended period of time, not cool if you overlook this, the golden rule: be considerate.

Your Behaviour – admit that many of us girls are passive aggressive – to translate tendency to be bitchy. I have read and reposted this – To be a Lady, never let another’s rudeness, diminish your good manners.  Sort out the facts and calmly talk to your housemates to figure out a solution. Some people aren't confrontational but if we don't try this and just let the bitchiness go on, no peace will be achieved.  Keeping your composure while being thrown into a difficult situation is a lifelong skill that is essential.

They say its hard to find "the one", I agree I also have my fair share of my horror flatmate stories, but as you experience these unpleasant things you also get to learn something which can lead to you being the best roomie one can ask for.

Shout out to my flatmates, Carla and Faye who manages to still keep the zen in our now called home.  Enjoy the weekend loves, only pillow fights are allowed.

Love your face - try some facemask!

Maybe lots of you are not really a big fan of facemask, but believe me, if you are  one that doesnt have the time and extra bucks to go to a spa, you definetly should be trying this, its Korea's  No. 1 Hydrogel Mask Brand and its finally available now in Singapore. Faith in Face is a hydrogel mask that contains a high percentage of water soluble ingredients to deliver maximal hydration and superior rejuvenation.  It also have a gentle formula so its suitable for all, it cools the skin, thanks to  beta-glucans which also rejuvenates stressed out skin. If you love watching all those Korean series,for sure you will begin to wonder how to achieve a more luscious looking skin - try some Faith in Face Facemask.

Available in  five variants:

1. After shower look hydrogel mask- intense hydration and moisture retention capabilities

2. Black and white film star - anti- ageing effect that improves and lightens skin tone

3. Nourish Me- provides the ultimate nourishment - to protect, maintain and strengthen your  skin to prevent damage

4. Invisible Pore - effectively minimize pores 

5. Hold me tight - restores moisture level to restore elasticity and bounce

  Exclusively available at Watsons
 for $14.50 for box of 3 sheets

The mask is split into two: bottom and  top part of the face. Its not a regular microfiber nor cotton sheet, its a Hydrogel mask so its flimsy, it holds more serum compared to other face mask. To apply, place the mask onto your face using the smooth side and then peel off the other plastic sheet. Allow 10 - 20 minutes before taking it off.  I suggest putting it in your fridge before using, it makes it more colder, I believe it becomes more effective too.

Happy pampering ladies and enjoy the rest of the week.

An IQ technology is also one of the ingredient which increase the number of water channels in the skin cells 3x so water flows better and faster from cell to cell, to restore, supply and balance moisture.  Lastly the SPF 25, as we all know we need protection. It’s basically moisturizing your body and protecting it from the harmful UV rays, saving you the hassle of using sunscreen after applying body moisturizer.

Scented Tips

The week ends again, and this is also the last Friday for the month, how time flies! Very soon it’s going to be the BER month, so to welcome the festive mood, I’d like to share and I’m sure you’ll love to try these scented nail polish. We ladies like to smell great from head to toe, so this is our chance, cuz I know I few (ehem boyfriends) who does not like the smell of newly painted nails.

Ladies I’m sure you’re excited to try Revlon’s Parfumerie Scented Nail Polish Collection

The Revlon Parfumerie™ Nail Enamel Collection reveals a light and enticing fragrance when dry, for a whole new way to experience colour.

September is Thyroid Cancer Awareness Month, in honor of losing my Mom to cancer,  I'm going to try to wear pink or pink nails next month, to express that I really miss her so much.

If you have girlfriend who is nail polish addict, I have one who collects and do her own nails weekly, this is a nice gift for a coming birthday or say Christmas present/Exchange gift. Revlon is more affordable, but if your willing to spend more or plan giving it to a very special friend you'll like to get the Christian Dior version for her.  

Enjoy the weekend loves!
