7月26日- 波羅密素食- Trial at Paramita Vegetarian House (D2)

人生第一個出席既blogger event 就係多得白羊女既邀請去7月26日- 波羅密素食, 所以呢一份喜悅我更要同老公分享,帶埋佢去!

26 July 2017- My very first blogger event took place at Paramita Vegetarian House as of invitation from Aries Kate.  As soon as I received this invitation, I am so happy to tell Nelson about it and I was able to invite him to share my first success too, so I took him with me.

試食既menu 有D 咩, 請睇相及相下既菜名...
Well, OK, sorry about not having the menu in English but if you do read my blog, just show the waiters and waitress the photos of what you want to order instead

1。花之戀壽司刺身- 呢個唔係第一度菜, 不過佢係最觸目全場的, 老公最鍾意的一道菜
This is like the sashimi rose thing, but it's not the first dish being served!  However, this one has the best feedback that everyone were amazed by it

2。法式多士- 素蝦, 食落真係好似pizza- Veggie Prawn toast- I think it looks like pizza, but it taskes so nice with the pumpkin soup!

3。香濃南瓜素翅羮- 我最不能決少既湯水 (The pumpkin soup was so nice that I took 3 bowls)

4。中西日小食大拼盤 (Platter)

5。三色串燒：猴頭菇，素牛柳，素雞（配秘製醬汁）- 老公話我有素牛,我就可以安心食牛
It's the grilled platters- Nelson told me I could finally eat beef without throwing up!

6。黑鑽松露石榴球- 自己個最愛
I loved this one, it's like those xiaolong dumplings!

7。秘製香脆叉燒王配酥皮，青瓜
BBQ pork with cucumber- Just not that they are NOT real meat!!

8。素海鮮黃薑紅米飯- 平時一D 都唔好炒飯既我今次真係好鍾意呢個飯
Normally, I don't eat fried rice but for this one, I gave it a chance without any hesitation and it didn't disappoint me either! Loved it!

仲有就係甜品... (Finally ends with dessert)

總結:

人生第一個blogger event 廣闊左我視野,加埋可以帶埋老公去,令佢更認識素食同可以一齊活得更健康, 除左淨係傾飲食喜好,原來大家, 包括老闆娘Maria 都好樂意分享旅行心得,加埋老公對每一碟野食既活躍好評令成枱既氣氛更開心唔陌生

This experience had broaden my views and knowledge and I was so happy to share it with Nelson together to get to know more about vegetarian cuisines and enjoy more ways to live healthier.  In this event, not all of us know each other but we all talk about different topics, even the owner Maria shared her travelling experience with us.  Moreover, Nelson was very active to speak out his positive impression on every dish he took.

希望每一位認識素食既朋友會再更上一層樓活得健康, 或者去開素食既,不妨同其他同枱既陌生人交流心得, 多一個選擇素食, 從素食減低人與人之間既距離

I hope those who already have the knowledge of vegetarian meals will take another level on a healthier lifestyle.  For those who had not yet tried vegetarian cuisines, you should enjoy the experience with hearing what other strangers on the same table have to share, so you will have more options with good vegetarian meals.  And it is a very good ice breaking type of communication to make the world a better place too!

多謝Kate 安排既event, 因為呢次event, 我地再進一步了解對方同其他blogger 點樣治療都市上俾自己壓力同減低各方面既困擾

I have to thank Kate again for this experience as we got to know each other better too.  And through other bloggers, I've learnt more ways to release from the urban stress.

感恩節篇-So Thai So Good

This is my first time literally talking about hang out places or dining places in general.  But I think this time, So Thai So Good is worth mentioning for the good times they gave us.

There's always a MUST-HAVE a reason between the 3 of us to meet up so far during these 4 times we've seen each other in 2016.  Started off with our first meet up on 30 June when the next day was 1 Jul (the public holiday for Handover). then so on.... we continued to meet up for different festivals within a year, even Hong Kong and UK had never considered Thanksgiving as public holiday or a festival in their cultures.

這真是我第一次打關於餐廳, 蒲點的博文呀, 但這一次, So Thai So Good 真是值得一提, 因為我真的很感激這地方能給我們快樂的一聚

這一年, 我們3個見面了4次, 這4次, 就是總有要見面開心一聚的原因... 由6月30號見面, 慶祝回歸(笑左)之後, 我們陸續的見面都是同節日有關係, 

But we made Thanksgiving a celebration between 3 of us.  

Thanksgiving for our friendship, laughters each meet up and exchanging lovely presents.

甚至香港和英國都是不一定會慶祝感恩節也好, 我們約了的一天都是感恩節的前一天....

感恩我們3個的友誼, 每次見到的笑聲交換小禮物..

Check out what we ordered from the menu: I remember what they were but unfortunately... Translating every piece in between Chinese and English is honestly very hectic.... But we've ordered the Signature dish such as the "Pomelo Salad with Deep Fried Camalari" (泰式金柚沙律配魷魚) and our top favourite Cheese wedges 芝士薯角

The drinks we had:

Mine: Banana Hazelnut Yogurt

Alice: Mango Yogurt

Jennifer: Cheese Masearpone Milk

Enjoy the food porn by Jennifer!

During the night, I decided to pick a table that's low profile enough for us to swap gifts.  But in fact, we weren't the only group who were swapping presents between us as the other 2 tables were swapping presents.

當時, 我是選了一張較低調的餐枱交換禮物, 但交換禮物的真的不只是我們...還有我們附近兩枱的OL們都有一樣交換禮物

For once, we can stay in the same place for dinner, dessert and swapping presents!  But we were the last to leave, the waiters probably were really mad at us.

我們終於都不用轉場的一次過吃飯,吃甜品,交換禮物,但都是最後一班離開的客人.... 我猜服務員一定很生氣呢...

Not everything I bought from Japan were all for myself, souvenirs for Jennifer and birthday presents for Alice are always well prepared.  I promise I will blog about the eyeliner Jennifer got me and the nail stickers Alice got me.

我不可能在日本買的所有東西都是自私買的, 還有準備了手信(Jennifer)及生日禮物 (Alice).

我必定會為Jennifer 送的眼線及Alice 送的指甲貼紙打博文吧

BEFORE

AFTER

今次分享已經是我第2回用這個脫毛神器，用的感想是我真的覺得幾分鐘的時間就能解決我多年來不能解決而不段被取笑的問題，而且只是大約HKD150左右能解決的問題

This is actually my 2nd time experience removing hair with this Smooth Away scrub.  I can't believe it only took just a matter of minutes to solve the long term problem I had for years.  And it's not expensive either!

溫馨提示：

用的過程因磨擦而出現乾燥而輕微的痛，所以完成脫毛後請記得塗上乳液給皮膚舒緩滋潤，但最後我亦不建意皮膚較薄的美女們使用

Warm reminder:
DOs: The scrub may cause pain on the coarse skin, so don't forget to apply lotion to sooth the coarse area after hair removal.

Don'ts: I honestly don't recommend this product to ladies with delicate, sensitive skin.

朗朗- 奶類護膚系列 (Ronron's skincare regime with 'milk')

Recently, I just love all those things skincare that smell of milk, milk textures, even with milk essence!  People tend to expect milk skincare as most likely to do with whitening, for softer supple skin, so what should I expect when I use milk for cleansing, exfoliating and the masks made of 2 different kinds of milk?!

First, starting from a cleanser- Beauty Buffet Scentio Milk Plus from Thailand.  I use this as my daily cleanser, I love it as a night time cleanser especially after a long hectic day at work.  I felt this product has the characteristic of soothing every time I use it and I love the smell as well.

最近我真的愛上了不同奶類的護膚品, 很喜歡奶味的護膚品, 奶的質感, 甚至是精華吧

很多人對奶類護膚品要求就是美白, 期望皮膚更柔軟, 那用奶類來清潔, 去角質, 敷面膜的我該期待甚麼?

首先就是這個泰國牌子的 Beauty Buffet- Scentio Milk Plus.  這是我日常用的洗面牛奶泡, 但我比較喜歡夜用-尤其是下班最累的時侯, 因為這產品給我的感覺就是舒緩, 還有,我很喜歡聞這味道的...

The pink exfoliator scrub from the same brand- OMG, I am a total exfoliate addict, especially when I can rub old skins out the way!  I've also took pictures of myself after I removed my makeup and started exfoliating until I rinsed off the flakes to show the results.  I know the beauty mode on my phone may be automatic but the truth comes from the flakes on my skin as that I am already showing the differences.

同一個牌子去角質用的scrub- Oh my god!!其實我是一個去角質的毒癮子, 尤其是最喜歡看見舊的皮膚層面被清走的.
有圖有真相,我是故意下班了最累及落妝後開始拍下過程的...雖然本身電話已自動了美肌, 但中間的照片仍能看見我在拍照皮膚用的前後的分別呢...

Milk mask (IMIIX) & Goat Milk Mask (About Me):

Actually, I really have never tried any milk masks before, but I would know they have whitening as the characteristic.

On 6 Nov, I've tried the goat milk mask out of my curiosity before I sleep. But since I couldn't sleep well, I would think that I wouldn't look goid enough to meet Jovan and Britney...

Learning from the research I've done, goat milk has the characteristics as recovery and whitening.  It's sad but true that I still get dull skin after having enough sleep...Luckily, the goat milk mask literally saved me from the dull skin I hate most and I even woke up with a dewy complexion the next day.  Therefore, this maak is suitable for anyone who sleeps late but still preys for beautiul skin like me

牛奶面膜 (IMIIX) & 羊奶面膜 (About Me)- 其實我真的沒有試過奶造的面膜, 但我大約知道的是奶造的面膜都是美白功效...

11月6日- 下了班之後真的很累, 但仍想睡前敷一次面膜, 好奇心重的我真的試用了羊奶面膜

但也沒法子睡得好, 所以也很擔心第二天約會我的女神姊妹們看起來欠佳了....

在我搜查的知識之下,原來羊奶膜是有修護,美白的功效, 雖然我常常都說: 有足夠的睡眠都不能改善暗啞, 但是... 幸好的是這羊奶面膜就是拯救了我暗啞皮膚的問題, 翌日皮膚看起來還有光擇的, 真的很適合"晚睡但愛美"的我...

On 9 Nov, this was my first time using the milk mask of IMIIX, I had the feeling as after having Mesowhite injection treatment (recovery in progress). So I tend to have a better imoression of the goat milk mask... But my skin literally got better after trying these products for blogging as my complexion has became more dewy.  However I surely like this mask because of the mask sheet texture is thick and it just makes me feel the tightness with my skin while absorbing every bit of the essence.

11月9日- 第一次用了 IMIIX 牛奶面膜，感覺大慨是像完成了微駐粉底後看到的感覺，皮膚在

進行修的過程，比較上我還是覺得羊奶的印象較好，但看見了的是在我開始打這一次blog的過程皮膚的光澤又更多了，這面膜我喜歡的優勝之處就是面膜的紙質很厚但軟身，而且我就是喜歡自己皮膚及自己面膜貼得很近很，能把精華吸收得最多的感覺

結婚第2週年東京之旅- Happy 2 years wedding anniversary

19/10~24/10: 六天日本為你準備，我們今年的結婚週年紀念10月20日就是跟老公在日本東京慶祝， 19號早上出發到了日本後，一心只想輕鬆素顏的準備最佳狀態拍照留下今年美好的回憶，及準備誤打誤撞而有驚喜的心情

We've spent 6 days in Tokyo to celerate our wedding anniversary.

The actual date of our wedding anniversary is 20 Oct, we've started our trip the day before, and make the best preparation I could to settle down first and hope to take lots of good photos, just to make sure every moment is beautifully memorable and also the upcoming surprises.

20/10- 第二週年快樂！ 我們去的地方有東京駅，銀座，築地

Happy 2 years at Chiyoda, Ginza and Tsukiji

我們找到的驚喜有從東京駅去銀座的路途找到了老公英文名字的酒吧，

還有是從銀座一路的走去築地路途中休息的下午茶地方： 浜離宮恩賜庭園

On our way from Chiyoda to Tsukiji, we've found Nelson's Bar which really made my husband happy.  Then as we set off from Ginza and walking to Tsukiji, we had a traditional japnaese afternoon tea at Hama Rikyu Garden.

21/10- 淺草，秋葉原

我期待了很久的是人生第一次著上和服的一天， 每天還在想像自己第一次穿的和服會是甚麽樣子，我這個再貪靚的女漢子除了擁有的口紅及內衣可以接受粉紅色，幾乎真的沒有喜歡的粉紅色，竟然老公在場之下就為我選了粉紅色的和服

21/10- Asakusa, Akihabra

I've been waiting for the moment of my first time kimono experience for so long that I imagine everyday of what my first kimono would look like all the time.

I'm quite a boyish girl, so my acceptance to pink was limited for lipsticks and lingerie items only.  But Nelson picked me a kimono in pink, oh my god!

在淺草雷門寺，我也被當是明星的一樣被捉住一起合照

At the temple, people took photos of me like I were a celebrity.

老公也替了一個穿了和服的台灣美女拍照，我看得出她真的很喜歡老公為她拍照， 如果美女早一點告訴我，我當然樂意給您們合照一幅好看的照片，還要影得好看才能放美女走吧（在香港的我，一定會吃醋到跟老公吵架到地震了，哈哈）
Nelson helped a beautiful stranger to take photos of her in kimono and it was an obvious instinct I have was she liked Nelson to take pictures for her, in fact probably more. If she asked, I'm really most happy to take photos of them both for her and it has to look good before she leaves (Normally in HK, I would've been so mad at Nelson and argue until the ground shakes)

交還了和服後，我和老公就一起到了秋葉原，從那一刻開始，我要shopping的精神病開始發作了，老公就在這一天很有效率的買好了給同事們的手信，我會在下一篇分享我為自己買了甚麽，希望亦能給大家分享我買了給同事，閨蜜們的生日禮物，手信吧

After returning the kimono, Nelson & I headed off to Ahkibara. From then, my shopping disorders are coming up.  Nelsin also managed to make his souvenir shopping very efficient for his coworkers. Well, for me, I will share shoppings in my upcoming blog entries.

22/10- 澀谷，原宿，新宿

第4天，到我大出血了！ 不停不停買買買，但全部都是給同事 & 閨蜜們的手信，老公亦當然找到能滿足自己的地方，包括是他最愛的Under Amour (澀谷）同Nike store （原宿）,拍照了店中display 的23號 (我不知代表甚麽的）

22/10： Shibuya, Harajuku and Shijuku

On the 4th day, I couldn't stop shopping, but it was all for coworkers and bffs.  Luckily, Nelson has found his favourite shops Under Armour (Shibuya) and Nike (Harajuku) where he took the no.23 (Got no idea what no.23 stands for though).

而我就在澀谷與原宿之間的公園中的市集找到了我自己的滿足感： 市集找到的禮物為手信

For me, I've found a flea market in a park betwwen Shibuya and Harajuku for my own satisfaction, bought 2 necklaces as souvenirs (one for Jen and one for my mother in law).

在新宿的夜景下，我影了一段小片是我們22～23/10 去過的地方， 片在instagram 可觀看到，enjoy!

This photo is of Nelson and I in Shijuku.

Got most of the highlights in the video I've uploaded in instagram, so enjoy!

24/10： 臨回香港的最後一刻前，我和老公就爭取了最後在日本的一刻參觀在我們酒店對面的晴空塔，我們還去了晴空塔裡的水族館，真的很近距離的跟企鵝合照，很可愛呀！！我會努力完成晴空塔的影片給大家分享吧！

24/10- Just before leaving vack to Hong Kong, Nelson and I spent the very last moment to look around the Sky Tree Tower as this attraction is just opposite side of our hotel.  In the Sky Tree tower, we've also took a tour in the aquarium of where I find very cute penguins.

A video of our visit in the Sky Tree is in progress, will work hard on it.

Coup D'eclat Ampoules 妝前補濕精華

There are some facts about why I need this product to secure long lasting makeup daily.  I highly recommend those who may have dehydrated skin or having issues with foundation getting oxidized.

- In real life, I am a front line staff in a luxury department store.  Therefore, the first impression from customers come from grooming standards.

- I am a combined skin person, dehydrated at worse.  My skin condition is pretty much affected by the atmosphere and pressure, my makeup fades off by the end of the day and I tend to look awfully tired by day end.  

- In Summer, my skin becomes oily.  In Winter, my skin becomes coarse/dry.  So basically, when my skin is under pressure, super ugly acnes will pop out and bother me!

大家好, 這次給大家介紹的是一個自己每天個人必用的妝前精華, 我亦用我最大的誠意推薦此用品給缺水皮膚的女生或本身對粉底氧化後的問題不滿做一個了結吧!

我的職業是一個在名貴高級的百貨公司的禮賓部 (前線人員之一), 所以客人對我的第一印象都會是跟儀容會有直接密切關係的

本身我是混合性皮膚, 最壞的情況就是缺水的皮膚.... 我的皮膚好與壞真的是在乎環境及壓力的高低.  工作時, 差不多下班時就會看見我的妝是疲累中的淡退....

夏天時, 我的皮膚是油性. 冬天時, 我的皮膚會變得乾旱了.... 所以, 只要在天氣及工作的壓力, 醜惡的暗瘡就一定會出沒!!

Each package contains 12 capsules, each capsule are for 1-2 days usage before applying foundation.  I use 1 capsule 1 day... but I'm trying to leave at least 4 for my trip in Tokyo.

每盒有12支capsule, 最多可以每兩日一支，但我是一日一支，但來著去日本東京之旅用途，所以會留下4支旅行時用

After using this product 3 times, I felt satisfied with the result of longer lasting makeup, and my foundation doesn'nt get cakey by the end of day either

用了此產品的感想是，我很滿意是更持久的妝容， 下班時亦沒有浮粉的問題

I don't always have enough time to update my blog frequently, so I can only save time for product recommendation on products that I find effective.

我真的不是常常有時間打博文的，所以我的時間只能推薦我覺得對我來說有效的產品

Review on Taiwanese masks (台灣牌子面膜)

這些都是Sylvia 送給我的面膜, 全部都是來自台灣的!

這裡有兩個不同的牌子- 我的美麗日記&Timeless Truth masks

Timeless Truth 就是Sylvia 所說在台灣最受歡迎的

These are all the beauty masks Sylvia has bought me from Taiwan!

There are 2 different brands- My Beauty Diary and Timeless Truth masks, 

Sylvia told me that the Timeless Truth is the most popular nowadays.

Timeless Truth- 青萍果面膜

有抗衰老, 緊緻的功效

我真的喜歡這面膜的 gel 狀紙面膜, 這面膜的味道我也蠻喜歡,因為我本身就是喜歡青萍果的香味, 還很滿意用的過程感受皮膚能與面膜緊貼的感覺

我很喜歡臨床用這面膜,第二天看見很飽滿光澤的皮膚, 我真的很滿意!

Timeless Truth- Apple Stem Cell & Collagen mask

Characteristics: Antioxidant, Firming

What I love most about this mask are the gel-textured sheet and the scent since I love the smell of green apple as always!  The mask gave me the comfortable feeling I love as I love the tightening reaction between my skin and the mask.

I tend to have the habbit of pampering my skin with masks before I sleep, especially this one since I am very impressed with the result I see the next morning- Radiance!!!

Timeless Truth-魚子精華純芙棉面膜

對抗老化， 幫助疲憊肌膚補充所需能量

對我來說， 這面膜是能日或夜用

但我覺得有最佳效果的用家不是我，反而是老公呢 (老公是中性皮膚）！

為了10月1號叔仔婚禮做主人家的重要角色以最佳狀態喝新人倒的茶，我迫了老公前一晚及早上一起床都要敷一次，因為他說他的要求就是抗皺，給肌膚活力的效果

給他婚禮前的晚上及新郎新娘敬酒前敷了面膜，結果是看見了他肌膚很有光澤，充滿能量的！

Timeless truth: Caviar Rejuvenating Pure Cotton mask

Characteristics: Anti-aging, skin energizer

To me, this mask is applicable both day & night

But from experience, I might not be have the best results after using but Nelson has the instant results after using it.

I've forced Nelson to use this mask just the night before his brother's wedding, Nelson's request was on anti-wrinkle and energizing skin.  Just before the new wed couple reached for us, there was an instant result of the glow on Nelson's skin that I think he was really looking ready to go!!

我的美麗日記- 1 盒16枚面模, 每味道4枚

- 珍珠粉

- 黑珍珠

- 角鯊烯修護保濕面膜

-紅酒多酚煥采面膜

唯一曾未試過的就是角鯊烯修保濕面膜了, 亦是這種之中最喜歡,因為我就是喜歡上班前能保持皮膚有濕潤光澤的妝容,而且做微駐粉底前,充份的保濕功夫都是必須的

My Beauty Dairy masks- 1 carton, 16 pcs (in 4 different flavours)

- Pearl mask

- Black pearl mask

- Squalene restorative mask

- Red wine mask

The only one I haven't tried in my life was the Squalene restorative mask, this one eventually became my favourite in the My Beauty Mask collections.

I love picking up the habit of using this mask before I go to work just for the result of suppleness with long lasting makeup for the day.  Besides, I think it is necessary to keep your skin moisturized as a preparation before taking the Mesowhite injection treatment.
