Beauty is only Skin Deep..

and apparently, so is happiness.. :)

since big mammal's been gone.. it's hard to find joy in life any more.. (yes.. i'm STILL mopey).. sigh..

BUT.. i believe things are looking up..

since D's wedding is coming up in 10 days.. as her maiden of honour.. i thought i'd best look after myself so i won't ruin her wedding photo forever.. (imagine the amount of cutting i have to do to remove my face from all the pics) .. i've been experimenting with skin care products.. i tried dermalogica.. which smells great and feels great.. except my skin didn't like it.. (btw, if you got recommendations please let me know. i was also eying the philosophy range too..me just LURVE girly stuff..only if i'd approach my own phd with the same degree of gusto and relentless rigor.. *sheepish grin*)

so i'm thought i'd try H2O sorta liked their rationale of using water as their primary ingredient.. so guess what was waiting for me when i got home today!!!

YIPEEEEE... icing on the cake.. i've only bought the travel kit (5 pieces) and they gave me a WHOLE BUNCH of other samples to try!! (this appeased both the chinese and the beauty queen in me :P..)

all this made me the happiest woman on EARTH.. for.. well at least 3 hours so far and still counting! ("happy happy happy" i sang tunelessly as i bounced, swirled and danced around the kitchen with my parcel in hand.. my sis thought it was a rather odd parcel receiving ritual i have..)

although it felt pretty good on the skin.. what amazed me was how simple it was to make me happy.. small things amuse simple minds? *shrug*

BUT!! ahhh.. the joys of online shopping.. now i'm a believer.. who says money doesn't buy happiness obviously haven't discovered how to use their credit cards yet.. :D ebay here i come!
