My First Time.... With Ojon

Ojon Restorative Hair Treatment

Hello girls! (And men, if any).

 

If you had been following me on Facebook and Twitter, then you'd know that I just bought the Ojon Treatment Cream from The ANstore yesterday. I was excited about it because my hair is in DIRE need of some tender loving care.

 

I'm not the type to go for hair treatments often at the salon, because it's too expensive to go often and sometimes, I just don't have the time. So, I'm always on a lookout for a cheaper and convenient alternative. When The ANstore introduced the Ojon Restorative Hair Treatment, I was eager to try it out.

In The Spotlight : Dot Dot's Little Shop

Mothers! Mothers-to-be! Lend me your ears! Or in this case, your eyes.

 

I want you to meet Dot Dot's Little Shop, Brunei's first online Motherhood and Breastfeeding Specialty store. Your new best friend.

 

I stumbled upon this little jewel of a site during one of my daily reads of The Brunei Times last month, where an article on Dot Dot's Little Shop was published.

The Journey So Far...

Hello lovely ladies!

 

It's been some time now since Orchid Row has posted its first blog post and I want to thank all of you for the support so far. The response has been amazing and some of you said the most encouraging things! And as I have told them, I say to you too - 'As long as there are people who still want to read my posts, then I shall continue to write.'

 

Anyway, this post is just to give a rundown on the changes on the site and new things coming our way.

'Apple' Of My Eye

 

For this post, I'm going to go technical and talk about Apple electronics. I'm a newly inducted Apple fan and am proud of it!

 

Think gleaming chrome and silver sheen. Think beautiful display and smooth program transition. The design of their products is so sleek and sexy, which makes them the perfect accessory for me.

The Plastic Culture

Beauty can mean different things to people. For some, to be beautiful is to have a slim figure, while others consider a curvaceous body to be very attractive.

 

For the North East Asians, a westernized look with double eyelids, narrow nose and a defined jaw is what you must have to be considered beautiful.

Style Tips For Mums-To-Be

Who says mums-to-be can't be fashionistas too?

For mothers-to-be out there, dressing themselves could prove to be a challenge. Finding clothes to accomodate your expanding waistline is a hard enough task. What more to stay stylish while that baby bump grows bigger?

 

I may not have had a child yet, but I hear woes from dear friends of mine, who not only wants to look after their growing sweethearts, but also look good throughout their pregnancy too.

World Cup Fever!!

World Cup 2010 Official Logo

Brunei, along with the rest of the world, is overtaken with World Cup fever! Everywhere I look, it's World Cup this and World Cup that. Watch Astro, see World Cup adverts. Check Facebook, World Cup statuses. Log into Twitter, World Cup updates. Go to work, World Cup talk. World Cup, World Cup, World Cup!

 

(Try saying 'World Cup' five times in fast succession and hear whether you are saying 'Were Kap' at the end of it. :P )

Sexy Body Shaping Undergarments!

I knew you ladies's eyes would shoot straight to this first sentence after the blog post title grabbed your attention. I can even hear the thought running through your head - "Se-xy Bo-dy Sha-ping Un-der-gar-ments. Oooooohh!!"

 

Don't try to deny it.

 

Anyhoo, last week, I had met up with SW, good friend of mine, for dinner. It was quite awhile since I've seen her, so you can imagine my surprise when she showed up for dinner. "Wow! SW, you look great! I don't mean to sound so cliche, but did you lose weight?!", I exclaimed. She smiled and said that she'd tell me over dinner.

Five Ways To Boost Your Body Image

Learn to love your body!

Everybody has their own body hang-ups. There's always some part of you that you believe should be smaller or bigger or not there at all. Although, yes, you can lose weight by exercising or dieting, physical traits like height or the shape of your eyes cannot be changed without going through drastic measures.

 

We personally don't believe that anyone's happiness should rest on whether you have the perfect figure or not. The idea is to LOVE what you already have and to make the best out of it.

i Heart My Dad

It wasn't too long ago that Mother's Day was celebrated and now, it's time to honour the other half of the beloved pair in our lives.

 

To start this off, let me talk a little bit about my dad. He is very active on Facebook, and loves to comment on people's photos and statuses. He gets mad if you don't accept his Farmville requests and recently learnt that 'LMAO' does not mean oranges. Dads huh? :)

Styles of Sex and The City

The women of Sex and The City

Beautiful dresses, gorgeous shoes, handsome men, naughty humor, romance *sigh*... What's not to like about one of the most well-known TV series/fashion runway?

 

I have to admit I didn't really follow the series during its glory days and had only recently watched the ENTIRE series of 10 seasons. In a way, I'm glad I didn't follow it then, because it would've been such a pain to wait until the next episode!

Why You Should Get A Bag Organizer

Typical stuff found in my handbag

My handbags are forever messy. They're always bulging with things and it always takes more than 10 seconds to take out something from the bag.

 

Although, my handbags have pockets, compartments and zipped pockets, the routine is always the same - hand dives into the bag, scrounge in front compartment, then search back compartment, poke fingers into both inner pockets, go back to first compartment to scrounge more thoroughly at the bottom corners, then the same with the back compartment, frustrated, spread the bag wide open and push things around until I see what I'm looking for.
