Hi there! If you're new here, and enjoy what you're reading, you can subscribe to my feed. Thanks for visiting!
I was desperately in need of a new bottle of shower gel as I had used up the last drops of my previous bottle. I was in a small Guardian outlet that didn’t seem to have that many choices. I’m not very particular over shower creams or shower gels. I only have 2 requirements - as long as they don’t make my skin dry after use and the scent must also be pleasing to my senses.
So without much of a familiar choice on the shelves, I just had to pick out something new to try. After a few minutes of browsing, I picked up a small bottle of Palmolive Aroma Theraphy Vitality shower gel. And I’m glad I did because I really am enjoying it. Read on to find out why.
This refreshing bottle of shower gel claims the use of 3 kinds of essential oils as its main ingredients, namely bergamot, grapefruit and orange. With such a citrus combination, you would expect a lot of vibrancy in its scent and that’s absolutely true. It smells very refreshing and it works as a great pick-me-up for me.
I especially like to use this Palmolive Aroma Theraphy Vitality shower gel in the mornings as a good way to wake up the senses to a fresh start. It’s also great for use after a long and tiring day, having something to perk you up again before you go about the evening’s plans. But for a shower before bed, I wouldn’t quite use it and would prefer something like lavender for relaxation.
This shower gel doesn’t give me a dry skin feeling after use, so I see no reason why I shouldn’t be buying another bottle when I’m done with my trial bottle. I absolutely love it and would recommend it to those who like citrus or fruity scented shower gel fragrances.
You can find this Palmolive Aroma Theraphy range of shower gels at most personal care outlets as well as supermarkets or hypermarkets. I’ve forgotten how much I paid for it but I remember it being an affordable range. There are also a couple more scents available in this same range, namely lavender and rose. You might like to check out the complete range while you’re at it and pick up your favourite scent for every mood.
So for a quick and affordable way to pick yourself up in the mornings or any other time, grab a bottle of Palmolive Aroma Theraphy Vitality shower gel and enjoy!

Would you pay over RM100 for a good pair of walking shoes? Most people would answer yes. If you are one of them and have not tried walking in any Crocs shoes, perhaps you can give it some consideration the next time you are hunting for comfortable shoes. Read on for my personal take and review of the Crocs Capri shoes for women.
When Crocs first came to Malaysia and opened its flagship store at Ikano Power Center, I didn’t give much thought to buying anything there because I didn’t like the initial designs that came in. You know, those Ronald McDonald shoe designs with holes everywhere. And at that time I thought it was incredibly expensive to be paying for such a design that I had found to be weird.
Then over the years, more and more designs filled the storefront and many other Crocs outlets sprouted up in all major malls. Before I knew it, I was in and out of the Crocs outlets checking out their shoes. It is without a doubt that Crocs shoes provide true comfort to the feet. All the shoes are very lightweight and they are designed in such a way that it makes for easy walking. The image below shows the technology of Crocs shoes.

We were out at dinner with our family friends and as usual, my little boy was the center of attention as he freely talked and played with just about anyone he sets his eyes on. He was such a charmer that he came home with 2 presents! And not just any present, but they were Transformers related presents! He got a Transformer figurine and a Transformer food container. I’ve got to say that these Transformers merchandises are terribly overpriced!
Anyways, you know, I think I was the more excited one compared to my son although he dearly adores those cars-cum-robots (excuse me for calling them that!). But it was me who had such a rush trying to transform the robot into a car and from a car back into a robot! You see, it was my first experience ever with a Transformer figurine. I never knew it can be so much fun.
I was very impressed with the detailed Transformer figurine (don’t ask me which Transformer it is, I don’t know them very well). How very well built it was not to mention the ease of transforming it back and forth. I guess that’s the price you pay for such a toy. It doesn’t cost you RM59.90 for nothing!
All the little parts were so intricately made. If I didn’t know better, I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference if I was handling a toy car with Ferrari parts or one of these Transformer toy cars. Real superb impression it made on me. But maybe that’s because I don’t normally get my hands on such mechanical boy-toys.
In any case, my son and I enjoyed his very first Transformer toy. I will make sure that this is one of those toys that will not be breaking up because I think this is one piece of toy that he would enjoy even more as he grows up. Do you agree?

You know, I swear that the famous Malaysian Mega Sale Carnival has already come and gone a few times this year…then I read in today’s papers that the first of the Malaysian Mega Sale Carnival for the year 2009 will start this July 4 and will end on 31 August. Then what were those other big sales all about almost every other month for the last half a year?
It just shows that we are perpetually bombarded with sales and more sales all around us. But as a consumer, I have no complaints. I even welcome the sales as a way to spend less when buying something we need. Of course you can argue that one tends to spend more because of the sales, buying what we don’t need and tempted only because the prices of things are cheaper at sales. Whichever way you look at it, no one can really deny that a sale is a good thing. Except the men, maybe? 
Anyway, get ready to shop in the coming 2 months with the whole Malaysia going on sale!

As much as I’ve complained about Air Asia every now and then, I still do give it up to their ways of cutting down air fares so that everyone can fly (tacky line, I know!). I was pleased to see that they’ve done it yet again to abolish more costs of flying this time, by cutting down on admin fees.
Not too long ago Air Asia prided itself for being the first airline to abolish fuel charges. Now, it is again the leader in the industry to do away with admin fee, so that Air Asia passengers only pay for the air fare and airport taxes. I only hope that the fares will not be jacked up.
Kudos to Air Asia and I hope they will continue to bring more innovation, destinations and good service to us all. I shall complain less of them if they keep up the good work.
For those who are looking for cheaper and smarter ways to travel and go on holidays, this is a great deal and the travel period is until next year. So you have lots of time to plan ahead and hopefully by then the A H1N1 pandemic would have died down and the situation sees some improvement.
Happy travelling to holiday-makers!

I just read in the latest news release that Air Asia is now eyeing to fly to the US! How great a news is that? It’s super expensive to fly there on any airlines so if a budget airline can give us that option to go to the States for a lot cheaper, it will be something wonderful to hope for. Especially for someone like me who have always wanted to visit. Now all those Outer Banks rentals ads that I receive off and on won’t just go to waste. I can actually consider them the moment Air Asia says go!

I spotted some interesting warehouse sales that will be held in Centro Mall in Klang, thanks to the posting of the ShoppingnSales website. I was quite surprised that the warehouse sales are now starting to move to Klang. Some of the interesting ones that I am interested in are the Toys R Us and Times Bookstore warehouse sales.
I am interested in the Toys R Us sale because it’s time to start shopping for a birthday gift for my boy. If I could pick up something great yet at a lot less at the warehouse sales, it would be ideal. As for the books, well it’s only because I’m a book fan but I should re-think that because I am thinking of getting rid of some old books to clear up some space.
But since Centro Mall is quite a distance for me to travel, not to mention that I don’t even know where it is, I will most likely be skipping all these great bargains. I’ll just pretend I never knew about these warehouse sales and pay full price for the stuff I’m going to buy for my boy! I guess when the cashier rings up the bill with the barcode scanners I will just convince myself that what I’m buying isn’t available at the warehouse sales at all! 
Are you going to the sales? Make me envious, show off your loot!
