Approximately a month ago I was proposed to partner with this brand named Kainda and after looking through their website I have decided to collaborate with them as requested in their approach.  At first, I was just unfamiliar with what does this brand does or manufactured and the main reason I have decided to partner with them is because of their quote above. Of course the reason is not solely on that but then I was really impressed with their products by just browsing through their websites.  Knowing that they claimed to made a conscience choice to use natural organic ingredients whenever they possibly can and only uses ingredients which don’t deplete or harm our earth's natural resources. 

How many brands nowadays does this?

Below are products from their fabric care range

Brought to you by Kainda, I will be reviewing this two laundry solutions for today.

DELICATE GARMENT SOAK 

MYR 44

 A gentle water-based formula that is specially formulated to clean your delicate fabrics.  The interesting fact is that while other detergents may caused skin irritation due to its harshness, Kainda's delicate garment soak actually nourishes your skin while you wash.  Which means there is no need for you to worry about rashes and wrinkly palms after hand washing your clothes.  

To use it just add 2-3 pumps to soaking container and gently swirl garments around. Soak for no longer than 30-45 minutes, rinse and hang to dry.  Remember to only soak it maximum for the suggested time only especially when it comes to inner garments, specifically your bras. :P  I was once told by an inner garment promoter that, soaking your bras for too long will actually shorten its lifespan no matter how expensive and exclusive the quality is because the particles in detergents will loosen the rubber stripes.  

The picture below describes how will you feel like after hang drying your laundry.  The sweet florally scent is just light and graceful like a body mist.

Upcoming next is the thing that I shall label as a must have travel item!

GARMENT SPRAY 

MYR 37

 Familiar with dry shampoo?  This works exactly like how dry shampoo does, dry cleaning!  Need to refresh your sweaty outfit immediately but the sky is pouring, so how?  Easy pitsy, just hold the mist sprayer farther away and spray on the garment evenly and leave it to dry for a few minutes.  That's all and you are ready to walk in your instantly refreshed outfit.  Suitable for all types of materials and definitely a perfect solution that must be brought along for your travel trips.

With KAINDA in your household, you do not have to worry about the need to go in your birthday suit no matter if it rains or shine.  Kindly check out their website here.

Thanks for dropping by, goodnight and sweet dreams earthlings!

Valedictory Meetup @ 2F+ Coffee by Yellow House

Just because I felt like writing something here I am working on a long drafted post that has been neglected for few weeks.  Definitely not writing for the sake of writing to keep this virtual space of mine happening but then yeah I find what I am about to write synchronizes with how my feelings are.  

As the title suggested, this is actually somewhat a farewell casual meet up with my best college mates which of course I will be forever reluctant to admit that it has come to the time we part.  It was just like yesterday's story we met each other, felt awkward with each other worrying that we might not fit in and then surprisingly our bond became so close till we are always being seen together whether it is for assignments discussions, food hunting, travelling and also family visiting.  I mean like what is the probability of being able to be like so especially in college life whereas some students could be clearly seen as a lone ranger.  Imagine that if you are constantly being ignored and isolated or having no one to really ever care about your existence nor disappearance.  

Only three out of five of us managed to hangout which was somewhat a sense of missing something but then I am glad that we were  able to enjoy ourselves throughout the evening.  Perhaps within a circle of friends, we should really learn how to be more tolerant and understanding when others could not make it due their own reasons and priorities.  No doubt everybody have their own things to be kept busy with and the elder we grow or upon stepping into the job market or working world, meetups like this might just become a merely possible thing to gather everyone again.   So who should we put to blame?  The person or life?  I will choose to blame life instead since it is because of the need to makes ends meet in life which somehow forces us to manage our time according to priorities.  

Excuse me for my wordy introduction, actually I did not intend to review the food at first but then since I have already torture you guys to read such a lengthy welcome back message I might as well share my thoughts of this cafe.  

Fyi, I am really into this sort of rustic interior which already clearly clarify why I am so in love with this corner aka their bar which you could watch baristas carefully preparing your artsy cup of drink.

Some random one point colour shot (red)

Some inspirational quote that you should absorb it as your #qotd.

Seriously, never underestimate what a simple quote like this can affect you motivationally and keeps you going throughout tough times.

We were sitting in front of the wall of various quotes and phrases.

Their coffees are fairly priced with impressive selections.

Yours trully's Coffee Devil

Ordered this since I think coffee infused with alcohol are unlikely served at most cafes but then to be frank I was quite disappointed with this glass of coffee.  Neither the taste suits my preference nor the coffee art is appealing (not lasting).

This spoon seems interesting and very functional as well.  Kudos to the person who came out with this idea!

I was surprised to see them including mocktails in their menu and the prices are not something that you could find at pubs, bars or clubs which are very reasonable.

                        Yong's The Sunset which is a caramaised mocktail beverage

    If you like cool and refreshing drinks, remember to give this a try!

                                                              Rainbow Waffle

It might look instagram worthy and eye catching but then taste wise is not much to rave about.  The waffle was just lackluster.  Personally think it would be better if there were made crispier.

Tiramisu

Three of us agreed that their tiramisu with alcohol is something worth the calories.  Absolutely loving the chocolate syrup. :P

Our family portrait ;)

Do not be jealous, I know we look かわいい

Spot the sunflower

"Good friends are hard to find, harder to leave & impossible to leave"

At the moment till we reconcile, I shall dedicate this to those whom I cared even if you guys are at different states and those whom are abroad creating distance of thousand miles apart:

"Its been a long day, without you my friend,

when I tell you all about it when I see you again,

We've come a long way, from where we begin,

And I'll tell you all about it when I SEE YOU AGAIN"

Still in the middle of adapting to a new environment with new faces and different culture, missing the good ol' days when we address each other with all sorts of weird nicknames.  Those familiar voices are no longer being able to be heard as a routine anymore but then we shall keep in touch and share our updates of life when we meet.  Yes it seems like a yesterday's story we have met, the day we broke the ice and became from strangers to friends, remember that day?  We might have language barriers, different characteristics and personalities, different backgrounds and upbringing, habits and many more aspects but then trying to understand each other and tolerate with each other is probably where our friendship begun.  Till the time comes have a happy life and I am looking forward to see you again.

Yong

Apparently this lil sis is like my best ever camwhore partner who managed to keep up mimicking with all sorts of emotions whenever we take selfies.

WenShie <3

Actually we were both kinda tired that day since we just ended our five days working as kuli lol but still we managed to hang on and remain energetic.

That's all for today!

Livyoung Intense Brightening Facial Mask

Sponsored Review

Excuse the unglamorous packaging, guess this parcel has been going through some obstacles before reaching my doorstep.

Claims to nourishe skin with intense essential nutrients as well as deeply hydrates your skin and leaving your skin noticeably radiant, soft and crystal clear.

This facial mask is a focused facial treatment that:

• Offers superb moisture to skin to give a lustre you have never known before.
• Brightens your skin and reduce pigmentation.
• Maintain the power of skin regeneration
• Protect longevity of skin stem cells.
• Decrease in wrinkles and promote anti-aging of skin.

It comes in a box of 10 sheet masks.

As usual, remove all makeup, cleanse and tone your face before slabbing on the mask to ensure better absorption of the nutrients.

Leave it on for around 5-10 minutes before removing the sheet mask.  As my skin tends to be oilier, I just left the mask on for 10 minutes.  If you guys have dry skin and in need of moisture surge, then you should just leave it on as suggested which is 15 minutes.

Peek-a-boo

Voila!
Post skin pampering session

Do not wash off the excess gel-liked essence after removing the sheet mask but then slowly pat them into your skin for better penetration.  Optionally but you can also incorporate some simple facial massages by applyying pressure or press your face for muscle relaxation which could help to prevent premature wrinkling while improving skin elasticity.

Extra tip: Instead of just tossing it into the trash after being used on the face, I folded the mask into half and use it to treat parts of my body which has drier skin.  Never forget to also give some love to your neck area which most people tned to neglect.  The skin around it is as delicate as your face, so remember to take good care of it as a whole.

Overall review
Love the gel consistency essence (essence will not drip off so easily like how sheet mask with watery essence usually is too slippery). 
Does what it says by brightening the skin.
Unlike clay mask that makes your skin feels tight and sometimes tingly, this makes the skin *doink doink*, guess that is how skin feels after being boost with moisture.

Would suggest this product for people who have dry combination skin.
