Kaki Shopping

Hurrah!  I got my Rumparooz diaper at an amazing discount of 30% off retail price.  Tiny Tapir is currently running a clearance sale on all Rumparooz cloth diapers.  So…yay for all cloth diapering mommies and daddies out there. 

Solid colors (snaps and aplix) are on sale at 30% off and patterned designs (snaps and aplix) are priced at 20% off retail.  Can’t get any lower than that, I’m sure.

I’m gonna prewash mine soon, so I can start using them on my daughter.  And if I love them after I use them, I might just get a few more! 

Have you gotten yours yet?

With a name as long as that, I was beginning to wonder if this lotion would live up to its name.  I’ve heard a lot of good things about this lotion and I was incredibly happy when I got the chance to sample this lotion for myself.  The people at Hada Labo sent me a tiny 9ml bottle of the Super Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Lotion to sample and they were also kind enough to include a 3g sachet of the Moisturizing Cream.

The Super Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Lotion is to be treated like a toner.  So I applied it after cleansing my face.  I currently use the Dermalogica toner which does not require a cotton pad, so similarly with the Super Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Lotion, no cotton pads were required.  I simply poured a small amount into the palms of my hands and patted it onto my face, starting with my cheeks, then forehead, then nose, chin and neck.  Because the lotion is rather watery at first, I had to perform this patting motion for about 30 seconds at least, before it actually got absorbed into my skin and surprisingly, after that, my skin felt really soft and supple to the touch!

Here’s a list of benefits listed for this amazing lotion:

* Instantly hydrates skin and helps preserve its optimum moisture balance.
* Replenishes and locks-in moisture for complete hydration. Skin feels significantly soft and supple.
* Helps improve dry and dehydrated skin, leaving it silky smooth.
* Skin pH balanced. Low irritation.
* Free of fragrances, mineral oil, alcohol & colorant.

The sample bottle of 9ml lasted me about 10 days, and I used it twice a day, morning and night.  I find this incredibly economical, because the 170ml bottle of Super Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Lotion retails for RM40.90, which means one bottle could last me about 19 weeks or so, which is close to 5 months.  That’s what I call stretching your ringgit!  It’s easily available too, at all Guardian pharmacies nationwide.

Another thing which I absolutely love about this Super Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Lotion is that it’s completely FRAGRANCE-FREE.  It actually feels like applying water to your skin and after that I use my moisturizer as per normal.  By the way, the Moisturizing Cream sample that I was given was also to be applied using the patting motion, but I only had enough for about 2 uses, since it’s only a small sachet.  It’s also fragrance-free though.

Bottomline, if you want a toner/moisturizing lotion that truly works and you don’t want to burn a hole in your pocket, the MY Hada Labo Super Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Lotion is your solution.  With 1 bottle sold every 4 seconds in Japan, you’ll never go wrong, I’ll bet!

Have you tried the Super Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Lotion yourself, and what was your experience with it?

By the way, Hada Labo has also released an Arbutin Whitening Range, which I bet would appeal to all you people out there who would give an arm and a leg for porcelain WHITE and FAIR skin.  Go check out their Facebook page now.

Hey y’all…I know I have been MIA for the longest time ever.  It’s not that I have eliminated shopping from my system (horror!!).  It’s just that, well…I’ve been keeping a rather low profile on the shopping front and haven’t been shopping just as much as I would have liked.

Nevertheless, I am back now…hopefully with more frequent updates and news on shopping, bargains, reviews and whatnot.

The weekend’s almost here, and today, I have TWO hot shopping highlights.

The first one is for all of you out there who are into mineral makeup.  Your favorite mineral makeup store, Loving Minerals, is on sale, baby!  From now through September 15 2010, just use the code LMHRD to enjoy a discount of 10% off your total order.  Whether you need makeup for Hari Raya, or even if you are stocking up for Christmas or New Year, now is always a good time to get your makeup fix!

Next, I’m so loving the new GAP Black Magic pants.  It looks really good in the advertorials…I’m wondering if it’s because the model is tall and slim…in any case, I’m waiting for October when I will get my RM50 birthday discount voucher (YES!  Because I am a GAP member), and just maaaayybe, I’ll drop by and give the Black Magic pants a try-on.

Affiliate marketing is one of the most popular forms of online marketing nowadays.  Online stores seek to promote their services and products by utilizing the powerful method of affiliate marketing, which is really a referral system, but not in a manual manner.

In order to run an online store that uses affiliate marketing as one of its tools, choosing a good affiliate software is very important.  I’ve come across online stores, blogshops especially, who promote a referral system, but without the use of affiliate software, and I personally find that very haphazard.  These stores could very certainly boost their sales and online presence if only they’d invest in a trustworthy affiliate software such as iDevAffiliate.

Installed on the server which hosts the online store’s website, this means that the purchase of the iDevAffiliate software is a one-time purchase, after which the online store is able to use the software for as long as they want.

Customizing the iDevAffiliate software is a breeze, and if you do run into any problems, help is just an email away.  The graphical user interface is very pleasing to the eye, and easy to navigate, making it an enjoyable experience both for the administrator of the affiliate program as well as the potential affiliates who sign up.

As a person who does online shopping most of the time, I personally feel iDevAffiliate is the affiliate software of choice, if you want your online store to perform seamlessly with the affiliate tracking and integration.  For the price of USD99.99 for iDevAffiliate Standard, you get a year’s worth of free upgrades and on top of that, your license never expires.  There are also bulk purchase discounts (e.g. 10% discount if you purchase 2-5 site licenses) and additional optional upgrades at a nominal fee.

Definitely worth your while and investment!

While driving home today, I listened to a brief discussion over the radio about male nurses, and how competent they too can be.
I honestly believe that the public mindset should be altered so that male nurses could be more acceptable too, because I am sure they can do just as good a job as a female nurse.

After all, all nurses are earning an honest living and are a great asset to the medical community.

Incidentally, anyone who is interested to take up nursing as a career can enrol themselves in this rewarding field, which is very much in demand worldwide.  Information about Certified Nursing Assistant programs are available online, where we can check the average salary earned, qualifications needed, skillsets to be possessed and also interview questions.  Also available online are cna training schedules and classes.

Shopping for a career?  This might just be it!
