  • The Brush Guard

    Recently I have been looking for a cute case for my make up brushes but all I can find is a black and boring case. So, the other day when I was surfing net as usual, I found this very cool product that helps in storing our brushes. After doing some research on this product, Im  100% sure that this is the thing that i need to get in order to keep my brushes in prefect shape. It arrived a few days ago and after I tried it I, just couldn’t wait to share it with all my readers and friends.

    So here we go,

    Here it is, The Brush Guard.

    I bought the variety pack, it came with..

    1 large-Powder/Kabuki

    2 medium- Foundation

    2 small-Blush

    1 extra small-Shadow/liner.

    You can also get them individually.

    It’s actually a stretchable, breathable plastic tube. So it helps your brush stay in shape and also keep it away from dust.

    Let me show you how this cute little thing work.

    First, hold you brush like this. (I’m using my powder brush as an example)

    Then, slip the correct sized brush guard ( large) over the brush handle.

    This is the end result. It’s really easy and handy.

    The brush guard is really tough and  it can even hold up the brush. So, you don’t have to worry if you put your brushes in a normal soft case without any protection.

    You might need to leave half an inch of the brush guard sticking out to keep dust away from your brushes.

    Another benefit of the brush guard is right after you clean your brush, you can use the brush guard during the drying process.

    This helps your brush stay in shape and also keep the water out of the brush. So, basically we are using gravity  to pull moisture away from the ferrule. In this way, the water won’t wick into the ferrule and spoil the glue.

    I’m glad that I can use my old case that I have been using for my brushes without worrying about the shape of my brushes.

    Isn’t it easy and useful…Love it!

  • A day at work

    As I promised I will blog about a day at work.

    Ok, straight to the point. My shifts are Monday and tuesday from 2pm-8.30pm, yup 7 hour shift.

    Well I have nothing much to write about my work so I’ll let my pictures do all the talking.

    On the way to work…

    My first shift on Monday is the Grill, which is my favorite shift of all.

    First thing I do when I get into my station is cleaning the hot plate.

    Then the fun part begins… start making grilled cheese, hotdogs, vege and turkey burgers.

    Placing all the prepared grilled cheeses at the left hand side of the grill (my personal preference)

    then placing vege/ turkey patties in the middle

    Another fun part of my job, wrapping the food. It’s just like playing cooking mama in real life, if you know me you know I LOVE cooking games!

    Preparing the pizza to be served.

    Mixing the salad of the week.

    Making sure the salad bar is clean and full.

    I also learned how to make pepperoni, sausage and cheese pizzas.

    First spread out the tomato sauce over the surface of the dough.

    then layer it with cheese.

    Then place pepperoni on top of the cheese.

    Done!

    Last but not least, placing them into a cart and pushing them into a giant fridge.

    Well, I think thats pretty much it. It’s fun and tiring at the same time, but I kinda like it.

  • Hey guys, so sorry for lack of updates. I was on vacation last week…guess where was I???

    *hint hint*  (if you read my new year resolutions entry you should probably know)

    Yup! I was in New Orleans to celebrated Mardi Gras 2010 and Miami to completed my places-to-go-before-going-back-for-good list.

    I had lots of fun, I always love traveling with my dahlink.

    I’m actually uploading all the pictures into my laptop and I will definitely  blog about my trip soon.

    so …stay tuned.

  • Happy Valentine’s Day

    Happy Valentine’s Day to all my friends and readers.

    Woke up to a rose beside me, I was so shock and happy.

    Thank you so much my love.

    We give on this day candy and flowers,
    But we never stop to say thank you for the many hours.
    You have stood by my side and gave a smile,
    As if to tell our hearts it’s been worth every mile.
    No need to buy a teddy bear or even a card,
    It’s pretty simple and not at all hard.
    Just put your arms around me and hold me tight,
    And say without words that in your heart all is right.
    You may say I Love You throughout the year,
    But on this day you need to make sure.
    The words so sweet and straight from your heart,
    That your life would be lonely without my part.
    So put forth the effort and take the time,
    Look me in the eye and say I’m glad you’re mine.
