Papaya and Mango Massive Moisture Shampoo

by Freeman

This was just okay for me. The smell is AMAZING, but as far as its claims of “massive moisture”, I’m not so sure. If you coupled it with a conditioner it’s just fine, but used alone I found it left my hair a bit dryish.

Why I recommend "Blueberry & Champagne Clarifying Peel-Off Facial Masque"

Blueberry & Champagne Clarifying Peel-Off Facial Masque

by Freeman

I randomly saw this at the supermarket and picked it up mostly because I’m a fan of peel-off masques and it’s not tested on animals. I have to say that I’m not at all disappointed. My skin feels tight and clean and considerably less oily than it usually is.
The gel is easy to apply and even easier to take off, and after you’re done you can just give your face a quick rinse with warm water. The only complaint I’d have about it is its somewhat strong chemical-ish smell when you’re applying it (something like nail varnish remover) which can be a little irritating. The smell only lasts for a few seconds though and quickly dissipates, after which it actually has quite a pleasant smell.

YUMMY!!! (rated 5 stars)

Mango CousCous

This turned out so good!! I added about a teaspoon of curry powder and 2 extra jalapeño chilies for a bit of a more savory / spicy flavor, about half a cup of tofu cubes and a bit of chopped up mint leaves thrown into the mix. I also made a glazed grilled chicken which was an awesome addition to the couscous. This is really really easy to make, healthy, and yummy!!

Mango CousCous

I’m going to make this sometime this week.. I shall update on how it turns out! :D

INGREDIENTS

1 cup couscous
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 mango, peeled, pitted and cut into 1-inch cubes (about 1 cup)
1 jalapeño chili, seeds and ribs removed, finely chopped
1/2 cup raisins
1 ripe tomato, chopped
Juice of 1 lime (about 2 Tbsp.)
1/4 cup cilantro sprigs, chopped
1/4 cup parsley sprigs, chopped
1/2 tsp. salt, plus more to taste

Prepare couscous according to package directions. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large sauté pan over high heat. Add garlic, mango and jalapeño. Sauté until mango begins to color, about 1 minute.

Stir in remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, couscous, raisins, tomato, lime juice, cilantro and parsley and toss to heat through, about 1 minute. Season with salt. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Advanced Care Therapy Shampoo

by Dove

I love the Dove Advanced Care line.. My hair went completely dry after a very very bad coloring experiment, and this was just the thing for it. Had my hair back to normal in about a month.

Mmmmm... slim, silvery goodness (rated 4 stars)

Motorola L6 mobile phone

by Motorola

It has a few user-friendliness kinks that could use improving, but all in all, a functional and value for money phone. Do not get this if you intend taking alot of photos with your phone or if you like all those ‘additional features’ that more expensive phone have that you never really use, this is not for you. I’ve heard people whine about the L6 saying it’s too basic, but IMO it’s stylish, practical, light-weight and most importantly, lets me take calls and text which is really all I want in a phone (The USB connection is pretty spiffy too :D ). If I want to take photos or listen to music, I’d get a camera and an ipod, so should you..

Why I recommend "Invent Your Scent - The Collection Pack"

Invent Your Scent - The Collection Pack

by The Body Shop

It’s well worth to get one of these. The scents are amazing on their own or mixed together to create something totally new (albeit not always very nice :p ) .. If you’re like me and hate sticking to one kind of smell every day, then this will be perfect! My favorites are aztique, amorito, chymara, velique and zinzibar.

I can't get enough of this! (rated 5 stars)

Oceanus

by The Body Shop

Amazingly fresh smell.. unfortunately it doesn’t last as long as I think it should

Why I recommend "Passion Fruit Lip Butter"

Passion Fruit Lip Butter

by The Body Shop

YUMMY!!! Excellent lip moisturizer, smells awesome, and adds just a bit of shine for that ‘juicy’ sort of look. Yey for soft lips :D

Another 3 star..

Passion Fruit Body Butter

by The Body Shop

As with most of the Body Shop Body Butters, the smell is simply amazing.. it’s just too bad it doesn’t absorb and leaves your skin feeling greasy. Good for a light rub around the elbows and knees before heading out if they tend to dry out (or if you just want to smell nice!), wouldn’t recommend it as a daily moisturizer though – for that try St Ives Cucumber & Melon lotion, works wonders and absorbs really quick

Meh.. (rated 3 stars)

Shea Body Butter

by The Body Shop

The smells are definitely awesome and the best thing about the Body Shop body butters.. The bad part about it is it doesn’t absorb into your skin and leaves it feeling greasy and looking shiny (in the bad oil-covered sort of way).. Maybe if you have excessively dry skin this would work better.. Yes I was aware that there are different butters for different skin types, and I’ve tried the Shea Nut and Passion Fruit butters (for normal to dry skin) and neither of them absorbed.. 3 stars just for smell alone though.. Simply yummy!!

A review of "The Science of Sleep"

nobody@allconsuming.net (WhatAboutHer) — Mon, 13 Aug 2007 17:22:59 GMT

The Science of Sleep

by Michel Gondry

I liked it. The ending could have been better I think, but overall it was very light-hearted, moved at an easy pace and something I could relate to (albeit in a far fetched kind of way). I won’t say it’s deep and meaningful, I just thought it was very playful and imaginative and a bit of a refreshing alternative to your typical Hollywood-esque movie.

Bleh (rated 3 stars)

Why I gave up consuming "Chariots of Fire (Full Screen Edition)"

Chariots of Fire (Full Screen Edition)

by Hugh Hudson

I tried.. I gave a wholehearted effort, but I just can’t get through it.. It’s slow and kinda boring and while it maybe one of ‘those’ movies that everyone should see in their lifetime, I’m gonna have to give this one a miss
