I’m always amazed by the perfect porcelain skin Koreans have. It just gets me every time, wondering whether it’s their food, living environment, or efficient skin care… Perhaps it’s due to Korea’s No. 1 holistic luxury skin care brand, Sulwhasoo. Having a long-standing tradition of painstakingly selecting medicinal herbs, Sulwhasoo aims to regulate the skin from inside out. Read more about the brand’s history and philosophy on a past blogpost *here*.
Believing in giving back to society, Sulwhasoo started the Charity Quilt Project, inspired by the hand-sewn patchwork quilt traditionally pieced together from old clothing and rags as a gesture of blessing and well wishes.
A limited edition skin care kit is introduced by Sulwhasoo to help raise funds for World Vision Malaysia, part of the global Charity Quilt Project. All donations collected will be channeled to the Children Development Fund (children’s rights protection, education, mental and emotional development, nutrition and health care; locally and internationally).
There will only be 500 Sulwhasoo Charity Kits available in Malaysia. Priced at RMR129, each kit comes with a complete set including two of the brand’s signature products – the Concentrated Ginseng Cream (5ml) and First Care Activating Serum (8ml). Also included are the Essential Balancing Emulsion (30ml), Essential Balancing Water (30ml), Gentle Cleansing Foam (50ml), and Overnight Vitalizing Mask (30ml/tube); all presented in a quilt-inspired pouch.
The Sulwhasoo Charity Kit is available at counters in Parkson Pavillion, Kuala Lumpur and Parkson Gurney Plaza, Penang.

A month ago i blogged about how important it is to take care of your teeth,
and harped on not brushing too hard,
how i had to to patch my teeth cos of that bad habit,
how i spend so much money on straightening and whitening my teeth,
and how i think teeth are just so super duper important in general!
A great set of straight white teeth does so much to increase your appearance by a million points,
which is why i invest so much in them…
The only thing about whitening your teeth professionally is that it can be very pricey and not something you’d do often,
so the in-between phases are when i kinda worry about how white they are staying.
Even tho i brush my teeth a few times a day,
all the food and drink i consume end up staining them ever so slightly
and it irks me when they look a little bit yellow in pictures!
(Admittedly, i’ve photoshopped them whiter in some pix before :p)
There’s a new professional whitening toothpaste that has launched recently,
and i did a home test with it to see how well it prevents tea stains.
Watch how vast the difference is… i’m so surprised >>>
Did you see that??
Darlie Expert White is scientifically proven to prevent up to 80% of surface stains, gives 3x whiter teeth while causing NO damage to tooth enamel,
and it’s only possible because the key ingredient in it is Prophylaxis Silica (PS-mp) – a whitening ingredient similar to what dentists use.
I’ve now switched brands and am using Darlie Expert White 😀
It tastes really refreshing and minty, and is a much more affordable and convenient way of keeping my teeth white just by doing what i always do – brushing!
I was first introduced to it when i went for a bloggers Sunday tea that Darlie held in The Press Room in BSC
With Ringo, and Lumi whom i met for the first time. Lumi is the cutest thing and i kept staring at her with a slight tinge of jealousy on how she looked more fairy-like than me, what with her pale purple hair and tinier frame.
Superstar TV presenter and businesswoman Sazzy Falak was also there to flash me her pearly whites.
Some of the snacks we had there. I like the food at the Press Room.
Now i don’t have worry about brushing my teeth after eating red or brown-based foods thanks to Darlie Expert White.
Seriously, i used to brush my teeth after having lunch especially if it’s red or brown :p
It’s been suchhhh a crazy week!
In between three shoots between Mon and Wed, Sweet and i managed to prepare the stock for the pop up store which officially opened this morning to the public. It’s a great wood and glass structure (in between Starbucks and Brussels) that will be up for only a week so you better go ASAP if you wanna catch sight of it!
BIG THANKS to Tongue in Chic and Jaya One for inviting me to be a part of the debut to their pop up store series!
KinkyBlueFairy will have lots of stuff for sale –
leather cuffs and bracelets, scores of vintage jewelry,
sunglasses, scarves, clothes, bags, shoes, and even festival headbands!
Just you wait till i get my hands on more $… i’m gonna buy even crazier stuff i already have in mind 😉
Just SOME of the vintage earrings on sale there!
I personally hand-picked these sunnies cos they sit so nicely on the face and have great details on the sides!
The pop up store will be open 10am-6pm daily till 10th October!
Saturday would be a great time to go cos Markets @ Jaya One is happening too so you can kill two birds with one stone!
Today is a milestone day for me!
It’s the day i officially moved into my own office space!
Woohoo!
Ok it looks mighty ‘office-y’ right now, but it’s a big space, and we’re gonna do it up real fun!
I already have ideas of bringing over all my fashion mags and books,
posters that never got hung on my house walls, etc.
First, i want to thank my DAD.
I initially thought of moving into another space where a cool bunch of friends already work at,
but my dad offered me this much larger space which actually used to be a boutique so it’s kinda perfect location-wise!
It’s an empty floor below his own office, so it’ll be nice to see him a lot more too XD
Anyway i’m not gonna make this a long post cos i’m knackered.
I had a half-day shoot on Monday, then worked till night.
This morning i went for a 9am Powerplate class and could barely move my arms after that.
Had brunch with SweetEe (who’s gonna be working with me!) at Fat Spoon before tackling our superlong to-do list.
I already moved all the stock to the office last Saturday, so we unpacked today and started preparing for the pop up store at Jaya One this weekend.
Tomorrow i have a shoot at 7am so i need to sleep like NOW.
Sweet and i figuring out the racks. Luckily it wasn’t as difficult as we thought :p
Sorting out the accessories and bags
I took this picture when we left the office at 8pm today.
Things are kinda all over the place now but we’re making do… one step at a time!
Btw it’s Sweet’s birthday on 2nd October so HAPPY 24th BIRTHDAY!!!!
We’re gonna be tagging all the items i’m planning to put at POP, a week-long pop up store at Jaya One that starts THIS FRIDAY!
It’s gonna be the first time i’m putting all my new stock for everyone to see in person (even my friends haven’t seen the stuff in person yet, heh) so if you’re eager and early, you’ll probably get the coolest stuff!
