Clear Forest: Purifies the Air within Your Car

SOURCE: http://www.businesstimes.com.sg/government-economy/malaysia-closes-schools-as-indonesia-smoke-haze-worsens
With the seasonal haze issue, daily combustion from at least 10 million vehicles, and city development - our air is pretty much screwed. Even with the current rain season, the rate of air pollution has risen to an alarming level that poses many potential respiratory health risks as we breathe.


Most Malaysians are well aware of the potential threat that the current state of air causes thus, almost every household has an air purifier but what about the inside of your vehicles? Malaysians LOVES to travel by car (do we?) and we definitely need air circulating within the vehicle (unless you are not a human). However, all vehicles' air-conditioning does not have a built-in air purifier neither does any of the air freshener available in the market are able to purify the air that circulates within the car.


In short, our respiratory organs is still pretty much screwed when we are driving and to make matters worst, within the small space, we are breathing it in and out for at least 30minutes to an hour depending on the destination and traffic that you are in.


But, what if I tell you that there's a new product in town that is made in Japan, is able to purify the
within your car?


 CLEAR FOREST
Instead of the conventional air freshener that works only as a deodorant and carries antioxidant benefits, Clear Forest contains 100% authentic fir forest oil that provides air purifying effects. These air purifying capabilities is said to help our respiratory system by balancing the way we breathe in and out of home or while we are on the go.


The menthol-like fragrance that Clear Forest emits also works as an air purification filter by binding nitrogen oxide (NO2) air pollutant, forming them into bigger particles and then dropping them to the ground. The fragrance also emits a chemical property known as β-phellandrene that helps in soothing tension and reducing stress.


PRICE & WHERE TO FIND THEM
Clear Forest can be found exclusively on 11street and it is available in two sizes:
Home use/Vehicle use (36g): RM49
Vehicle use (32g): RM39

Go Bare with Bubble Gum Wax @ Casa Tropicana


If you're all too familiar with Bubble Gum Wax and lives in PJ area, good news! BBGW has finally open a brand new outlet at Casa Tropicana Condo. If it's your first time, read on as I'll share with you my first waxing experience with BBGW at Plaza Damas and how I'd become their loyal customer to their second store opening.

The first time I heard about BBGW was through one of CLEO magazine 2014 issue. The endless positive reviews from bloggers, cosy-looking pictures and promotions convinced me to leave my very first Brazilian wax to their professional hands.

The thought of someone looking, touching and even yanking those hair off around the intimate area of my body was nerve-wrecking. To make matters worst, Jessica from BBGW told me that my intimate area was really dry due to the frequent use of feminine wash and pantyliners.

After going through what I would described as a horrifying experience due to the low level of pain tolerance, I pretty much swore that I would not go back for a Brazilian wax ever again. I mean, I had lived with an Amazon forest for the past 10 years of my life, no harm letting it to continue being one, right?

But, well...as time goes by, I actually landed myself back into BBGW store for my second Brazilian wax experience and this time it was at their new store opening, Casa Tropicana Condo.


I decided to go back for the Brazilian wax because I miss the sensation of not having an Amazon forest down. It was refreshing, clean and airy. I stuck with BBGW instead of trying any other waxing store because other stores that I'd been to before for other areas of my body such as underarm and legs weren't as chatty, welcoming, and friendly as the wax experts at BBGW.

So, my second Brazilian waxing experience at BBGW's, Casa Tropicana Condo outlet was definitely way better than the first. It was 80% close to painless as I gave extra tender and loving care to my intimate area as instructed by Jessica. Of course, the almost painless experience was achievable due to their expertise in waxing.

Besides providing a top notch customer service, they did not forget to maintain an excellent hygiene control. They will apply antiseptic cream on the wax area and there wasn't any wax sticks reused.


If you're ready to try your very first Brazilian wax, do try it at BBGW as you can be rest assured that you are leaving your precious Amazon forest to be professionally stripped. If you had done it before, do drop by, give them a try and let me know what you think. I am all open for a discussion at the comment section :)

They are currently having an opening promotion at Casa Tropicana Condo for new and existing customers. And that's not all, since Valentine's Day is just around the corner, BBGW is having a promotion for Him&Her at the price of RM99. Trust me, you don't want to miss this promotion.

Tara

Reasons To Go On Dutch

WHEN you are out on dates with your guy(or your girl), have you ever experience etiquette dilemmas on who picks up for the check?

As most articles these days had stated that there's no longer any chivalry that would come by and make you their queen. A guy that pays for every bill when you're out on a date with definitely deserves to get a plus point! So, guys like this are definitely meant to be kept. However, this does not mean that us as girls should always expect this out from them. In this day of era, talks on guys and girls should be treated equally has been brought up countless of times. So, in such case, why should guys only pay the bills when they're out on a date?


Yes, some guys do offer to pay or all the best insist on paying those bills but as a girl, we should have some decency to show that we are capable of getting the things we want by ourselves and we do not need to depend on them for it. Most guys actually crave for girls who are independent and they respect such girls more. "I find it a turn off whenever a girl just sits there and expects me to pay every bill", says Nigel. It does not make us stupid if we do reject such offers, it just makes the guy appreciate you more because he knows that you are not easily bought over with goods.


Dating scenes now starts from as young as the age of 13 years old or maybe even 11. If both are at the young love romance stage where most often people label it as the puppy love stage, both are definitely not working at all! Even if you are both out of the high school scene and currently studying in college, neither of you would have a stable income to support "the love of your life". Most guys still do pay for the bill as they find it a manly thing to do but it does not justify anything if the guy is showering you with all his pocket money as he should not be supporting you just yet! It is oh, so romantic that he pays for everything at such a young age, but this just makes every 'present' no longer carries any special means to it. We girls will end up being dependent and will only contribute to a higher expectations that would only kill the relationship.



All in all, relationship is a two-way thing. If he loves you, he would want to be your man. And if you do too, you would care about it. So, talk it out with your guy and decide on a paying plan. 'Go Dutch' is always the best choice at the young age of love.To take your relationship to a whole new level and rather than sitting down there like a dumbo waiting for the guy to make the move of paying the bill. Why don't you take up the role and enlighten him. Because at the end of the day, if you really and truly love someone, you would not want to leech the hell out on his wallet. =)
