pardon the pun for this post, but really, it helps. this is an emailer from benefit online store, and i have to share it. 
The packaging is really sweet, and the rest is , indescribeable. just like how girls go ga ga over a new actor, eg Robert Pattison, and guys go ‘hell yea’ over the new Monster Hunter or Warhammer or Warcraft.
Pretty much.
Well, been reading The Host, yup, i’m slow, refer to post ‘oops’ and well, it linked for a minute to a book i bought earlier on. It’s a collection of short stories by Frank Kafta. Really deep, and i had to have some one explain the story to me. I am really slow. but it helps. gives me something to ask and talk. ‘
Oh yes, I discovered a new way to enjoy collagen drink. Mix it with honey. Two in one. 
May be it will cause some reactions, but it helps to tone down the taste. Besides, it’s double the goodness!!!
And I wanna thank you all for visiting even though i hardly update. I will try.

ProPeds and the sudden obsession with pedicures, and keeping my feet baby soft. Hmph i wonder why.
Gotten myself a ProPeds package of stockings, sudden urge to try them. Mum says it’s good, but not convinced, anyhow, i’ll try them.
Also, i got a peppermint salt footbath from THE BODY SHOP,which is really refreshing.
Some info about peppermint from wikipedia:
Peppermint is sometimes regarded as ‘the world’s oldest medicine’, with archaeological evidence placing its use at least as far back as ten thousand years ago.
Peppermint has a high menthol content, and is often used as a flavouring in tea, ice cream, confectionery, chewing gum, and toothpaste. The oil also contains menthone and menthyl esters, particularly menthyl acetate. It is the oldest and most popular flavour of mint-flavoured confectionery. Peppermint can also be found in some shampoos and soaps, which give the hair a minty scent and produce a cooling sensation on the skin.
In 2007, Italian investigators reported that 75% of the patients in their study who took peppermint oil capsules for four weeks had a major reduction in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms, compared with just 38% of those who took a placebo.
Similarly, some poorly designed earlier trials found that peppermint oil has the ability to reduce colicky abdominal pain but the oil is an irritant to the stomach in the quantity required and therefore needs wrapping for delayed release in the intestine. Peppermint relaxes the gastro-esophageal sphincter, thus promoting belching. Restaurants usually take advantage of this effect by taking advantage of its use as a confectionery ingredient, which they then call “after-dinner mints.”
Peppermint flowers are large nectar producers and honey bees as well as other nectar harvesting organisms forage them heavily. A mild, pleasant varietal honey can be produced if there is a sufficient area of plants.
Peppermint oil is used by commercial pesticide applicators as a natural insecticide.
GROW MORE PEPPERMINT!!!! GET THE BEES WORKING AGAIN!!! WE NEED THE BEES.
