Amethyst

Amethyst, a semi-precious gemstone, is a violet variety of the quartz often used in jewelry. It has a unique colour and this gemstone is often believed to be a natural tranquilizer for dispelling intoxication, relieving stress, soothing irritation, balancing mood and inspiring the intellect.

In fact, the origins of the name came from the Ancient Greek word 'amethystos' meaning 'not intoxicated', a reference to the belief that the stone protects its owner from negativity. A large number of further miraculous powers are attributed to the amethyst in all sorts of cultures, including bringing you good luck and abundance.

For thousands of years, known more commonly as the representative of the February birthstone, this gemstone has been a jewel coveted by royalties in history and more recently, made available to the larger population.

Even Moses has once described it as a symbol of the Spirit of Greater Powers and the Russian Empress Catherine the Great sent thousands of miners into the Urals to look for it.

Amethyst is well known as a natural aid for our body. It produces small, detectable magnetic field & emits beneficial far infrared radiation & negative ions that enhance circulation, promote anti-oxidation & rejuvenate skin cells, all of which are essential to help smoothen & beautify skin.

A coveted gem desired for its power to heal and rejuvenate, this purple quartz gemstone, Amethyst, is uniquely incorporated into the latest skincare series from Amethystory, which contains real amethyst granules with triple functions:

•  Cell-rejuvenation, anti-oxidation & promotion of micro blood circulation for a healthier and more luminous skin. This could be more than a fairytale come true!

Most of us would have heard of cold mask, but hot mask?? 0.0

The hot and cold masks, respectively.

The full range of masks to help you identify on the type of masks that you need. ;)

I Shall focus on the hot mask instead, since its rather RARE to see people using/raving hot masks. :)

I have with me, the Royal Jelly (Anti-Aging) 3D mask. Its is formulated with Royal Jelly Extract and is enhanced with

• Dipotassium Glycyrrhizinate that prevents acne and outbreaks,
• Vitamin E and Collagen for firmer, smoother skin,
• Hamamelis Extracts that tightens skin and pores!

One of the reason why I love Benico mask is because its make in Korea. Yes. I've always love Korea masks. They never fail to bring a smile on my face, and most of the Korea masks doesn't irritates my skin/ breakouts.

TIP: 

Try this today! Apply it as a hot mask instead of your normal chill mask and experience the difference! I can assured you that you'll be pleased with the result!

Heat the mask by soaking the seal packet in a bowl of warm water (preferably around 40 Degree Celsius) for 5 minutes. After that, apply on your skin for 5-10 minutes and let the mask work for you! ^^

Before

After

**PS: I'm trying my best to get the same lighting. But apparently it fails. So please ignored the difference in the lighting and color tone.

My Review: 

Pardon the difference in the lighting. I got to admit that the lighting and color tone doesn't really matches with the "before" photo. Pictures can't do any justice to how wonderful this mask is actually. It definitely helps brighten and somehow, slightly lighten my skin tone, but its not as exaggerate as the "after" photo obviously! Haha! If you ever noticed, pores did somehow shrinks and face become smoother. I believed that with regular usage, skin will definitely turns out better and firmer! 

What's more! Its affordable, reputable and its so packed with goodness in every sealed packet. Okay, it might be slightly pricy for some readers, but think of the good side, its always better to invest on a good product rather than investing tons of your money on some other cheap, yet not really obvious improvements, yeah? :)

Price And Where To Get It:

It is exclusively available at all Watsons Outlets Islandwide (Singapore), and is sold at SGD$2.90 per piece.

Its not like we won't be loney?

Love so much, and yet, been hurt even more.　
Done so much, and yet, been more lonely.
I thought you were my last, thinking that being gentle won't hurts.
But, I'm wrong.

I've said everything and my heart's been withdrawn.
My spirit's been drawn out and my dreams have collapsed.　
If I can't make you understand, then I can't make you happy.
So, I would let it go.

I return you back your freedom,
While I still feel you.
For, I'm the one who love you the most.
What benefits does love gives?
Its not like we won't be lonely either　
And we still lose as much.

I'm once again forsaken in your world
And staying on has no more promise　
Its not as happy as we used to　
I'm silent, you're emotional　
I'm lost, you're feeling nothing
We no longer used to yielding, instead, we like to pursue now.
And finally, I understood

[Advertorial] Love More Aquamask

Just as my face is screaming out of thirst, I received box of Love More mask lying on my letterbox, with the kind sponsors from Love More and Secretive.sg.

I guess all of us would have heard/tried/known of Love More yeah? And this time, I was been sponsored on their latest launch, the aquamask and its endorsed by a sweet Taiwanese Celebrity, Cyndi Wang.

In order to get the perfect and transparent looking skin, other than having a healthy looking and sebum controlled skin, it is important to provide prolonged moisture for your skin underneath too!

Most of the toners currently available in the market contain low moisture for your skin and is only a short term solution to quench your skin. If your subsequent skin care products do not contain enough moisture, the moisture will not only evaporate but also evaporate moisture and sebum from your skin. In the long term, the moisture level in your skin will become lower and eventually lead to multiple skin problems.

[AQUA Hydrogen Mask] Striking a balance between “skin-friendly water essence” and "fits perfectly on your skin", including peacock ore negative ions into natural silk cotton which is designed to fit the skin tightly without leaving any space which is able to moisture skin with water, moisturises skin and product water. With just 20 minutes, you can feel the elasticity of your moisturized skin!

“Flawless transparent skin + 100% Moisturized Skin + Sebum Balance” is what the Aqua Series masks can provide for every female!

Specially formulated botanical organic ingredients to target the different layers of skin to moisturized skin, improves the benefits of toner and maintain moisture in your skin the whole day, you will definitely notice the difference after you use it!

Love More Deep Whitening Aqua Mask

It absorbs quickly and it leaves a slight floral smell on my face after applying. I love how my skin feels after every application.

Inspiring Story: My Mom

My mom only had one eye. I hated her, she was such an embarrassment. My mom ran a small shop at a flea market.She collected little weeds and such to sell, anything for the money we needed she was such an embarrassment.There was this one day during elementary school. I remember that it was field day, and my mom came. I was so embarrassed. How could she do this to me? I threw her a hateful look and ran out. The next day at school..."Your mom only has one eye?!" and they taunted me.

I wished that my mom would just disappear from this world so I said to my mom, "Mom, why don't you have the other eye?! You're only going to make me a laughingstock. Why don't you just die?" My mom did not respond. I guess I felt a little bad, but at the same time, it felt good to think that I had said what I'd wanted to say all this time.

Maybe it was because my mom hadn't punished me, but I didn't think that I had hurt her feelings very badly.
That night...I woke up, and went to the kitchen to get a glass of water. My mom was crying there, so quietly, as if she was afraid that she might wake me. I took a look at her, and then turned away. Because of the thing I had said to her earlier, there was something pinching at me in the corner of my heart. Even so, I hated my mother who was crying out of her one eye. So I told myself that I would grow up and become successful, because I hated my one-eyed mom and our desperate poverty.

Then I studied really hard. I left my mother and came to Seoul and studied, and got accepted in the Seoul University with all the confidence I had. Then, I got married. I bought a house of my own. Then I had kids, too. Now I'm living happily as a successful man. I like it here because it's a place that doesn't remind me of my mom.

This happiness was getting bigger and bigger, when someone unexpected came to see me "What?! Who's this?!"... It was my mother...Still with her one eye. It felt as if the whole sky was falling apart on me. My little girl ran away, scared of my mom's eye.

And I asked her, "Who are you? I don't know you!!!" as if I tried to make that real. I screamed at her "How dare you come to my house and scare my daughter! Get out here now!" And to this, my mother quietly answered, "oh, I'm so sorry. I may have gotten the wrong address," and she disappeared. Thank goodness... she doesn't recognize me. I was quite relieved. I told myself that I wasn't going to care, or think about this for the rest of my life.

Then a wave of relief came upon me... one day, a letter regarding a school reunion came to my house. I lied to my wife saying that I was going on a business trip. After the reunion, I went down to the old shack, that I used to call a house...just out of curiosity there, I found my mother fallen on the cold ground. But I did not shed a single tear. She had a piece of paper in her hand.... it was a letter to me.

My Son,

I think my life has been long enough now. And... I won't visit Seoul anymore... but would it be too much to ask if I wanted you to come visit me once in a while? I miss you so much. And I was so glad when I heard you were coming for the reunion. But I decided not to go to the school.... For you... I'm sorry that I only have one eye, and I was an embarrassment for you.

You see, when you were very little, you got into an accident, and lost your eye. As a mother, I couldn't stand watching you having to grow up with only one eye... so I gave you mine... I was so proud of my son that was seeing a whole new world for me, in my place, with that eye. I was never upset at you for anything you did. 

The couple times that you were angry with me. I thought to myself, 'it's because he loves me.' I miss the times when you were still young around me.

I miss you so much. I love you. You mean the world to me. My world shattered! Then I cried for the person who lived for me. My Mother.

The start of menstruation is a momentous event in a girl’s life. Some girls greet those drops of blood with joy or relief, while others feel bothered by the discomforting pain each time they menstruate. Whatever the reaction is, the facts don’t change; Menstruation is here to stay.

Every woman is bound to experience a variety of sensations before or during their menses, though some may experience it more often.

Common complains include abdominal pain, backache, pain in the inner thighs, bloating, nausea, diarrhoea, constipation, headaches, breast tenderness, irritability and mood changes.
