Go Shopping for Natural and Organic Beauty Products
For a long time, I am a believer of natural products. Though not everything on my beauty shelf is filled with organic and natural ones, I am often opened to trying new beauty or homecare products that are made of natural ingredients. This is something I look forward to when I go shopping in the beauty department.
With more people choosing alternative therapies for their health complaints and conditions, the world of complementary medicine is growing. The natural and beauty industry is in a good rate too. As we all know, the skin is the largest organ of our body thus many products are aimed at taking care of it. But wth so many choices out there, it can be hard to sort out what’s best for your skin. Looking back, I only wish I had taken better care of my skin before I spotted the first sun spot or the first fine line!
In the world where emergency medical assistance can be obtained easily, there are also more holistic skin care options to choose from. If you are still too confused with the many natural beauty products out there when you go shopping, take a look at these few trusted brands:
1) Dr Hauschka Skin Care – With more than 40 years experience, it has become the leader in the holistic beauty care industry.
2) Eminence Organics – Products contain the highest possible levels of all natural organically grown herbs, fruits and vegetables, hand selected to guarantee their highest quality; the company just added a new Biodynamic Collection.
3) Jurlique – Made with biodynamic ingredients from Jurlique certified and biodynamic farm
Go Shopping in Singapore and Enjoy!
All I need is go shopping in Singapore and I will somewhat rejuvenated! Given a choice, I would prefer a beach vacation but since this isn’t possible this season, a short trip in Singapore was good enough to make me feel recharged!
Friends have already been telling me about the new ION Orchard at Orchard Road. I have to say that I am impressed with the architectural design of the mall though I was lost at the basement on the first day. I couldn’t find my way out to Wheelock Place! I didn’t even have time to comb the whole mall since I wasn’t in the mood to buy. I am rather happy that Sephora is opened and one of my favourite mineral makeup labels, Bare Minerals can now be bought in Singapore! Though the prices are higher than buying them US or online, it is just good to know I can see the colours of the cosmetics and makeup range for myself, without making any mistakes.
It was enjoyable to go shopping without my boy tailing behind but I am sad that this ‘freedom’ may not last for too long! For those who love individual and innovative wear, don’t forget to drop by Womb by local designer K-Mi Huang. This is my favourite place to find creative tops and clothing with a twist, in a simple and elegant style. I was trying to find something unique after receiving a couple of wedding invitations from my girl friends.
For my beauty stock up, I bought some Dr Hauschka skincare products and it was so timely that they are celebrating their anniversary. There were lots of freebies and goodies when you buy above $160 or $350. Even more when you buy above $500. I couldn’t resist the promotion and bought the Regenerating Day Cream set, the Intensive treatment serum and the lipstick. The Dr.Hauschka Lipstick Novum – 01 Hazelnut is a chic lipstick that comes fully loaded to refine, refinish, and renew beautiful lips with craveable color and rich ingredients such as Rose Petal and Carrot to hydrate and rejuvenate dehydrated, lackluster lips. It is lovely if you are someone who love neutral or brownish tones on your lips.
I can never get too tired when I go shopping in Singapore. It’s just a great place to hang out and feel like a woman again!
Plan to Go Shopping for Eye Treatment Products
I wasn’t too happy when I saw this fine wrinkle underneath my left eye area 2 days ago. My eyes are looking tired too. No thanks to the few nights of disturbed sleep when I had to wake up to get some juice for my preschooler! Looks like I would need to go shopping for a good eye treatment product when I’m in Singapore this week.
For the last couple of years, I have been using La Mer’s eye concentrate and La Mer eye balm. Both eye care products from La Mer are great and did a wonderful job to keep my eye areas looking youthful and ‘fresh’ but I have been feeling a pinch in my pocket with the current economic downturn. If you can afford, these two eye treatment products do wonders for your eyes. But if you, like me are looking for some home remedies to care for the eye areas, then consider these tips:
1) Take some boiled tea in a cup of water. Once the water cools, dip two gauzes in it, place each of the gauzes on your eyelid for 15 minutes. Once the gauzes are dried, dip it again to gain the most from this remedy.
2) Lavender oil is another soothing agent which helps to keep your eyes fresh and radiant. Add a drop of this oil in two and half cup of water. Shake it well before using. You can use two cotton pads as eye pads which are dipped in this solution.
3) The first thing in the morning you see in the mirror is the puffed eyes. You can use two chilled and soaked chamomile tea bags and placed them on your eyelids.
4) Place couple of slices of chilled cucumber on your eyes and try to relax in a quiet place.
Just keep in mind that home remedies do not replace the need for good eye care and treatment products. I always believe that it is better to start caring for your skin when you are young than to wait till you reach middle age. This afternoon, I’ll be checking out on some pond supplies for DH. After that, I plan to go shopping for a few organic eye care beauty options at Skin Botanica, the stop for natural and organic beauty products.

Go Shopping For Jurlique Biodynamic and Organic Skin Care
It’s every woman’s right to keep herself beautiful, youthful and attractive. Yet, many of us women hardly find time to pamper ourselves – to look better, for ourselves and for our husbands or boyfriends. I haven’t been to facials for a while. Life’s daily routines and demands made it hard for me to schedule a regular facial lately. But last week, I decided to go shopping for good facial promotions and landed up with Jurlique biodynamic range of skin care therapies.
I had a 90minutes facial with a skillful therapist before ending up with a few Jurlique skin care products. Personally, I am using a few Jurlique skin care products including the Jurlique Balancing Cleansing Lotion, Jurlique Biodynamic Beauty Serum, Jurlique Rosewater Balancing Mist, Jurlique Intense Recovery Mask, Jurlique Moisture Replenishing Mask and the entire range of Jurlique Hand Creams.

And if that’s not enough, I’ll be making an appointment for the full body massage! My good friend is going for the slimming massage to complement with her top diet pills program months before her wedding.
I like the fact Jurlique products are made of mostly organic or natural ingredients. Each product is a custom blend of biodynamically and organically grown herbs and flowers, which serve to re-balance skin naturally. Therefore you can expect a refreshing and uplifting scent from each of Jurlique’s products. Most importantly, I know that my skin is absorbing the goodness of herbs, plants and flowers at their most natural forms.

Go Shopping for Birthdays or Anniversaries Gifts
Sometimes it’s easy to get confused on what sort of gifts are appropriate for birthdays, engagement or wedding. I often get too lost with choices when I go shopping for birthday presents or anniversary gifts. A
Choosing a gift for someone can actually be a daunting task especially if you are running out of time for a special occasion. Sometimes you might find a gift at one go but sometimes it may take hours before you could actually find one. What better way can you think of other than gifting your family and friends with a nicely wrapped gift basket. For years, gift basket is the one of the best ways to appreciate your family and friends.
Gift baskets help you when you are far off from your dear ones and wish to send them a token of your love and feelings for them. You can give a gift basket not only on special occasions but also whenever you feel to gift a symbol of your feelings. Whether you are husband looking out to give your wife with a special gift on the eve of your anniversary or one who wish to gift your special friend on your first date. Even if you wish to present a gift for your kids, relatives, friends, colleagues you can manage well with customized gift baskets.
Coming to buying a gift for kids, my son is asking for a ping pong table for his coming birthday! I’m not sure if he’s ready for a gift this size but I may go shopping for my gift ideas in the coming weeks. One thing for sure, a gift basket may not be right for a kid his age so I’ll reserve the gift baskets for special birthdays, thanksgiving, Christmas and other special occasions!
