After three months of twice daily application, I do see an improvement in the color tone on my face. I used to have uneven skin tone and looks yellowish at times. Now the color is more balanced and I do look fairer. I believe credit for this improvement goes to Shiseido White Lucent Intensive Spot Targeting Serum which I was first introduced in March. $159 for 3 months of usage, its not that expensive afterall. I’m on my 2nd bottle now, which I bought on White Day.

The other products in the range are finishing soon; either that or I aren’t using them as regularly as the serum. I’m a very lazy woman lah. Skin care is a touch and go thing for me. Morning and before sleep cleanse, tone and serum. That’s it.

Anyone of you using the serum too? Or has got other recommendation that worked? Would love to hear from you.

Reality check: Houses in Singapore is becoming smaller and smaller and pricing raising and raising. We’re in the stage of looking for a suitable nest and facing many problems. Location is one, size and price is also major concerns.

We both agree that the house should not be too big as keeping it clean is going to be tedious chore. But it should be able to fit our family (of four perhaps) in it comfortably.

While the search for our nest is on-going, saving few interesting videos of very small homes that’s functional and pretty cool here for future references. I’m always amazed at these houses!

Its been 3 weeks since we moved to our new studio at Joo Chiat Road.

And yes, we are now known as Dice Studio! That’s our signboard at our entrance. Nice?

Before we moved here, we were excited about the vast variety of food outlets around and the options we will have. Alas, when we finally settled and started going lunch daily, we realised options though plenty, it just isn’t as economy as compared to when we were at Upper Serangoon Shopping Centre. All of us miss Jia Yi Curry Fish Head stall very much. So grass isn’t always brighter nor greener on the other side. Ok, I talking cock liao.

So what have I been eating at Joo Chiat so far? Keeping a food diary on Facebook to help me keep track, and here I’ll share some of my hits and misses.

“我感觉有pimple要pop出来我就用，果然pimple就不出来了！”

That’s what my Mum told me after she tried the LMS Spotlights. I equipped her with the range of LMS Spotlights – 24, 8 and 3, few weeks ago, and she’s been using it every night before she sleeps. Though the recommended usage is to do it three times a day, Mum said she don’t have time to use so many times. She does carry the LMS 8 in her bag wherever she goes. I can picture her using it in the car while my Dad drives them back from work. Beep beep beep beep… for one minute.

On Monday, 3.14, I attended my first “public appearance” for 2011 at TANGS Orchard. The memories from Blogathon flashed back when I stepped onto stage. Almost felt there’s something about me and TANGS that got me back again. Perhaps its a sign? Hmm…

This time, I was invited by Shiseido to share about my whitening journey with White Lucent with guests at White Day 3.14.

From now till 20 March (Sun) at TANGS Orchard
Receive a Business Class Set with every $160 nett spent. Two sets for you to pick, the White Lucent Set or the Revital White Set.

PLUS! You’ll receive an exclusive White Day Limited Edition Chocolavion treat from Shiseido Parlour in Japan when you top-up your spending to $180 nett. This is available in limited quantities!

Surprise surprise! Never have you imagined Claudia the Panda will be sharing about beauty in this blog right? I did write some pieces before but this time, I think I’m pretty serious about it. When Shiseido contacted me, I couldn’t resists but to accept. My mum used to love Shiseido products and she’d been telling me how good they are. But being the panda me, my face is like the least I spend time on, except for the daily routines and the facial package which I rarely use these days.

2011 is such an exciting year ahead for me, I’m beginning to pay more attention to my skin and body. So this opportunity came in the right time. I would like for you to join me on my journey towards clearer and brighter skin…

To help kick start my whitening journey, the above were what I got in my personal “starter pack” with compliment from Shiseido.

If anyone tells me life gets simpler as we grow, I’m so going to tell him bluff. It gets tougher and tougher. My mind has been overclouded with too much things and I needed something to distract me. Something that will not need me to be online. And I was at Junction 8 and found this!

I love craft and I love to color/ paint. Sadly I suck at drawing. I’m so glad I found this Paint It Yourself set. It’s like those coloring book for kids where you follow the numbers and fill the spaces with colors. But this is a little more advance. Painting on canvas with acrylic paint. On the left is how the package looks like.
