I am not an expert of the environment but I would like to my two cents' worth on this matter. I am now a STRONG proponent and believer in preserving and conserving our seriously fast deteriorating environment. My personal experience having to deal with the negative changes in my skin physiology due to our deteriorating environment prompted me to search for a natural skincare that is suitable for my severely inflamed, itchy and irritated skin. The natural skincare should fit my limited budget and at the same time, has virtually no negative impact to our fragile environment.

My search is considered a success, as I have managed to find one small-time brand of natural skincare from Australia in a personal care store near the place I am staying. Unfortunately, the said personal care store no longer sells this brand of natural skincare, which prompted me to set up a small on line business called Nature's Little Helper.

Nature's Little Helper's main aim is to bring this particular brand of natural skincare from Australia made easily available to all Malaysians due to the very affordable pricing and high quality of its products. I turned myself into a guinea pig, trying the products I managed to buy off the shelf before they were withdrawn by the personal care store near where I live. Frankly speaking, I did not even bother to do a patch test before beginning to use the said products regularly.

I plunged straight away into using the said products and after THREE times using them, my skin started to heal itself. I was encouraged by the results and I realise that going back to the basics where my skincare routine is concerned is the way to maintain a manageable skin health, i.e. to use natural skincare. Believe me, they need not be expensive and would NOT cost a bomb to purchase the complete range because each individual product is priced below RM 100; even its most expensive products (usually in one litre packaging) cost only RM 79 per unit.

I did more research on the Internet by going to the said natural skincare made in Australia by visiting its official web site and I REALLY like what I saw in it. The company that produces the natural skincare REALLY takes good care of the environment when manufacturing their products. They do not use any synthetic ingredients, animal derivatives and chemicals in all their products, and I really appreciate this fact. In short, this company practises GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) as part of its philosophy.

When you wash off the products' residue off your skin it will bio-degrade and won't cause pollution to our drainage system and water sources as the ingredients used are naturally derived. This is actually a small but meaningful step to help save our deteriorating environment. Not to mention the product packagings are made from completely recyclable materials. I will now reveal the name of the natural skincare... it's Sukin-Australian Natural Skincare. If you find my testimony hard to believe you can visit their web site at Sukin-Australian Natural Skincare.

This is just one small step I do to save our environment. The other little actions I do include bringing my own food containers when I take away food, except when I patronise fast food joints and I separate my daily rubbish into recyclable items and items meant for proper rubbish disposal. Not to mention, carrying a bottle of plain water in a reusable bottle whenever I go out for long hours at a stretch. I may be only one in the many billions who is championing environmental issues but I hope with this write-up, I am able to create greater awareness about saving environment, starting with my family and friends; soon to everyone around the world.

Last but not least, I would like to convey my gratefulness and gratitude to Sukin-Australian Natural Skincare for creating such godsend natural skincare products and also made me realise that the world we are living in now is NOT for us to keep and treat it to our whims and fancies; it is for us to take care of it well and properly for our future generations, whom by right should do the same for the benefit of their future generations.

Review: FreshLook Colorblends contact lenses

I was selected as one of the 30 bloggers to review FreshLook Colorblends contact lenses co-organised by Plusizekitten and MrLens. I'm sure you did remember I posted two preliminary blogs about this contest. This post is the REAL McCoy, i.e. the review of FreshLook Colorblends contact lenses, with compliments from MrLens. The colour of the FreshLook Colorblends I had chosen was Brown. I am quite sure many people who know me personally would be wondering why of all colours they had to be brown?  Honestly, I'm playing it safe and not wanting to end up looking like a freak or an alien from the outer space!

OK, going straight to the point - here are the 'before' and 'after' pictures of me:

The change of the colour of my eyes is actually quite subtle because I was born with naturally dark brown eyes. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the result of trying out FreshLook Colorblends contact lenses for the very first time in my life, having been wearing contact lenses for 20 years already. These contact lenses actually enhance and complement my look, without changing it in a drastic manner.

The FreshLook Colorblends contact lenses I'm using is a refreshing change from my current brand of contact lenses and I really like the idea of springing a surprise to my friends I meet at the moment. ;) I like to try out new stuff at least once in the lifetime and wearing coloured contact lenses is one of them. I may not be a fashionista but wearing coloured contact lenses like FreshLook Colorblends that complements my physical features very well is DEFINITELY something I would want to try doing.

I will DEFINITELY buy Freshlook Colorblends from MrLens in the near future because of its affordable prices, and I will WANT TO try other colours available in its range. So always be prepared for a little surprise when you meet me in person at any time! ;) The credit goes to MrLens for supplying the said contact lenses, as well as Plusizekitten for short listing me as one of the bloggers for this review contest.

MrLens is the largest online contact lens and contact lens related products distributor in Malaysia, carrying major brands of contact lenses from Europe. I'm very impressed by the  service rendered by MrLens in sending the FreshLook Colorblends contact lenses to me, I received them in LESS THAN three days after I had first placed my order on the web site. I'd only need to pay minimal delivery fees, however, depending on the area you are staying in Klang Valley, Malaysia, you may be able to get the contact lenses delivered directly to you at NO COST at all when you purchase more than RM50 worth of products.
