Nature Republic - Aloe Vera Soothing Gel

I bought this Nature Republic - Aloe Vera Soothing Gel other day at this Asian beauty store.




I think it was like $18 or something....I can't exactly remember the price, but it was under $20. The tub is really big so it would last very long time so it is a really good value. 

I bought this because I saw this video from a youtuber that I follow, and she was using it.
I usually use this after I use my toner and then let it dry and put moisturizer. I really like this product because it makes my skin really soft!

Koko black's chocolate




So today I bought some chocolate from Koko Black. 
Their chocolates are quite expensive, but really yummy! 
I love eating their chocolate :) 





So I bought two of nine chocolate boxes. 
One for us and one as a gift! 







My favourite chocolate from this store is, pistachio! They're so nice :)

Organic/healthy snacks


We recently decided to eat some organic/healthy snacks instead of unhealthy snacks. 

We bought two kale chips, pumpkin seeds, whole grain crackers, and veggie chips. 



Kael chips






To be honest, kael chips wasn't that great, but pumpkin seeds and veggie chips was nice :)
Whole grain crackers was ok, it was really hard tho! So if you have weak teeth, be careful :)

Alison Nelson Chocolate bar


The other day, we had a lunch at Alison Nelson Chocolate bar!
It opened in Melbourne Emporium on the August 20.





We ordered two main and one dessert. 
For the main, we ordered, iced peppermint tea, Portuguese chicken burger with salad, classic linguine marinara.
And for dessert, we ordered, blueberry cheesecake. 












Overall, the food was great! Seafood was cooked perfectly, pasta was really nice and I liked the chicken, it had really nice flavoring. Cheese cake was great, it had some real blueberries on it. Service was good! 
Bad thing was that, food was little bit oily.

I bought this early this year from this Asian beauty store for like $18 (I can't remember the price, but it was under $20) I bought it because it has good reviews from online, and it was cheap! Too bad they don't sell it at that store anymore, but I did find this some other Asian beauty store in China Town, but they were expensive...it was like $25-$28! 



The bottle is so big and it last so long time so it is really good value! :)

Here is a link to a youtube video on how to use this product~! :)

I usually use this when I have really dry skin. 
When I'm using this lotion, I usually wear as masks so I soak the mask or eye mask sheet and put it on my face and leave it on for 5-10mins. 
This lotion is great for people who have sensitive skin and it makes the skin really soft.

Sora's sleeping spots!

Sora has many beds and so many different sleeping spots. 

She has at least 5 cat beds at the moment, but we ordered another bed from eBay other day. 

There's a cat bed on mine and my bf's working desk and during the day, she love sleeping on there. 



She love sleeping on top of my laptop. 


I think when we are about to go out, she normally like to hide herself and sleep in this cat tent bed. But if she want peace and quiet or if she is cold, she like to sleep inside this bed as well :)


She also love sleeping inside this basket and inside the bag. 



She also like sleeping on the cat tree/cat tower as well. 



Sora's new bed!! She seem to like sleeping here too :) 


But at night time, she like sleeping with us on my side of the bed.

Shiseido Ultimune

Shiseido Ultimune is the newest skin care product from Shiseido. 





I got this for my birthday present and I really like using it. 

I've been using this for everyday for a month now and, so far my skin feels great! I have a really sensitive skin, and I usually breakout now and then, but I haven't for awhile now. 


It is very light feel, absorbed into the skin fast, not oily or sticky, it smells nice and it soften the skin. 


How to use: 

Apply the product morning and night, evenly over clean face after using toner, before serum and moisturizer. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4zAfM6EgRc  <- This is a video of how to use this product.


Bad thing about this product is, it is quite expensive! 

I think in Myer and David Jones, it cost $90 for 30ml and $125 for 50ml. 






"How it Works

A powerful and protective botanical blend, including antioxidant ginkgo biloba leaf extract, Japanese shiso leaf, and wild thyme promotes healthy-looking skin. Meanwhile, the formula’s fresh, green floral scent both energizes and relaxes."
