DIY Scented Candles Even A Noob Can Make

Like most of my ‘projects’, my first time making DIY scented candles started with a whim: I had a long Christmas break and thought it would be fun to make my own candles at home. Lazada sells convenient candle making kits, most of which are from China. I ordered them in early December, and they came just in time for Christmas! Although I like artsy … Continue reading DIY Scented Candles Even A Noob Can Make

Shop Till You Drop At Pop The Arcade @ Jaya One, PJ

As a child, my parents encouraged me to read a lot, even though they aren’t readers themselves. We weren’t rich, but they’d buy books for me whenever they had money to spare, so I had no shortage of Peter & Jane books and Enid Blyton novels. For that I am truly grateful.

Hey guys! There’s just a few more days to Christmas, and we all know what that means – Christmas promos!

As someone with a weakness for body care products, it’s hard for me to resist the beautiful, sparkly displays and gift packages.
