Why mother-in-laws and daughter-in-laws always have problem?

Exactly whose problem is this? For centuries and all throughout history, this seems to be a problem that cannot seems to be solved. So... I am not going to be giving you a solution either.

However, being a daughter-in-law and a future mother, i tried to understand what will cause me to be upset with someone who i think is trying to spend her rest of her life with my son. So let's try to analysis this together!

First of all, any girl who finds a man whom she love wishes that he will develop into the man she always what him to be. She may even wish that the man will be somewhat close to how their father is like. At the same time the man wishes the woman will grow into the likeness of their mother, In that process, it is inevitable for the couple to grow into the soul-mate of one another.

Then what causes the mother-in-law to be upset? Every mother loves their son just the way they are, the way they brought them up to be. When the son develops in the relationship, he slowly changes from the mummy's boy into the man the woman of his life yearns for. Hence, it causes the mother to think that the girl is trying to change her son, in her (protective) perspective, she believes that it is against the will of her son.

Believe it or not, i think that one of the way to make things better is for the son to bridge the gap. If the son remains loving to the mother and shares with her what is going on and let the mother grow together with his changes, it will be easier for the mother to see and develop together with the son, to love this woman whom he loves. At the same time, build the relationship between them, spending time together.

Only when the man loves and honors his mother, will the woman of his life learn to love and honour his mother. Many times, the man avoids talking to the mother about this woman and gets all defensive. So, whose problem is this exactly?




If the man could be a good bridge, mothers and daughters-in-law can be the best of friends! To the mothers, instead of losing her son, she can gain and daughter. And to the woman, she will gain a family and it will be a heaven on earth rather than a living hell. :P

Firming Sculpting

Is it necessary to put firming sculpting cream? and when should we start?
I always believe that prevention is better cure. Yes you should start way before you bust starts sagging and wrinkles starts forming at your décolleté.

So what do i feel about this Maria Galland Firming Bust Sculpting Veil?
It has firming, lifting and moisturising effects!
I suggest not to put excessive amount when using.
Small amount at a time and massage it into your skin.
Excessive amount can cause you to feel oily and sticky after application.

I remember once i met a lady and her neck was totally smooth with little or no lines. She looks like she is in her 30's but her neck looks like 20's. When i ask her about her age, she was actually in her 40's! She started putting neck cream at the age of 20! Did it help her and her neck remain smooth? of course! Would her neck be so nice if she only started at the age of 40? i doubt so.

Prevention is always always better than cure! Everything should start young and anywhere between 25 to 30 will be a good age to start!

Jyunka Miracle Fluid

Heard of the Jyunka M+? When i first hear about it, it sounds unbelievable.
This small bottle in gold contains pure vitamin C. Most people will say that it is impossible to keep Vitamin C in their purest form because they change when exposed to air.

And so i tried it. The 'M' actually stands for miracle. This is the first essence i know of and have tried, that is so good, so rejuvenating.. but yet suitable for both young skin and mature skin!

For the young skin, it helps to balance the pH and control the oil secretion. At the same time, if a mature skin uses this essence, it is rejuvenating, helps with cell regeneration and renewal to minimise fine lines and wrinkles. Overall, it gives the skin a healthy glow and radiance!

If there's anything worth it's price, it will be this miracle fluid!

KEEPCUP *Go Green*

These irresistible colourful cups are so pretty and it makes you happy looking at the colours! I bought 2 different series, the glass with rubber and the glass cork edition.

So after using the cups, here's what i think:

Cup Size
KeepCups are available in many sizes. Mini, Small and Medium.
Personally the one i have is the latest 'Cork Edition' that only comes in Small (8oz) and Medium (12oz).

Material
There are the plastic range and these glass range. If you are intending to hold really hot beverages, my advise is to get the glass ones. After using the rubber one and the cork edition, the cork edition will definitely beat the rubber one hands down, because i have very low torrance for heat and honestly, the rubber do not help to offset the heat, it is only for a better grip.

However, for the cork edition, you should be careful you do not spill your drinks or coffee onto the cork area to prevent staining of it.


Heat Retention
The heat retention ability is not bad, my drink is still warm after an hour. But this is NOT a thermal flask, so please do not expect that your drink will still be burning hot after leaving it inside for awhile.

Overall i'm happy. I'm currently using it when i make my old beverage or coffee. Stilling trying to explore how to pass the cup to the barista when i order coffee from a cafe! Will definitely try that soon. Just worried that they will stain or dirty the cork area.

216 Gentle Soothing Mask

This is one of the newer product by Maria Galland, 216 Gentle Soothing Mask. What does it do?

- Restores tire and fatigue skin
- Replenishes hydration
- Soothing to sensitive skin due to tiredness and environmental changes

I always use this after my trip because everytime i travel, i realise that my skin feels very tire and dehydrated due to the change in the atmosphere and humility.

The texture of the Mask is like a moisturising cream. It doesn't leave a sticky feeling. It's comfortable and almost like you had nothing on.

Recommended to apply the mask once a week :)

B1 Food Cafe at Dongdaemun Seoul Review

As agreed, i will tell you the full story of my encounter at this eatery...

Most of the time, what draws our attention to a eating place are the beautiful photos of the food. As it was the many nights into our trip so we decided to try something different from our usual eating place.

Entering this cafe, you are greeted by a lady who do not really seems to be happy that an customer is coming in to disrupt her peace. Throwing down the menu, she went back to where she was sitting and continued watching her show. Still, that was ok, so we went ahead to order what we want.

Then while waiting for our food, i heard the neighbouring customer who just went to make payment commented "Why this lady so rude one?" So i was prepared for whatever pattern the lady is going to have towards my table.

Food came, they look far from the photo. Dumpling Ramen (with 5-6 dumplings in the photo) only came with 2 dumplings. Kimchi soup with white rice, turned out to be yam rice. So my friend tried to ask her if they have white rice instead, pointing to the photo.

She rudely pointed that the following part of the menu, rolled her eyes and walked away. Went to the older lady who is doing all the cooking and started to complain about us asking for what is shown in the photo.. *confused*

Here's what she pointed to:


I'm sure many of you are thinking, where is this cafe? I'm glad you asked. Below is the name and logo of this food cafe. It's located at Dongdaemun near Good Morning City Shopping Mall. :) Eat at your own risk.

S H A D E S

There is not one lady i know, that owns only 1 lipstick at a single time. Most of us will agree that we have at least half a dozen or if not, even more!

I started with MAC lipsticks because it was a gift. Then in search of nude colors, i went into exploring different shades that MAC has. I had 3 different shades, liked them but when i was looking for something hot red, i could not find the exact shade i was looking for...

So i went into Dior.. Dior lipsticks are more moisturizing and less sticky compared to MAC's. Got myself 3 different shades and sticked with them for awhile.

Received a lip gloss from Make Up Store as a gift, tried but i didn't like the glossy sticky and thick feeling of lip gloss so i went back to my lip sticks :)

When Chanel came out with the matt lipsticks, i tried and i loved it! The color is so beautiful and the texture is so light!!!

VDL famous Tint bar triple shot came as a popular hit! I bought 4 out of 6 of the colors that they have! The triple tone in one lipsticks forms shades where you can make your lips looks bigger or smaller with the same lipstick!

So guess my favourite pick? Chanel, VDL and followed by Dior! Hope you will love them as much as i do!
