2012 台湾之旅 hauls

哈咯，消失了一个星期的我终于回来了。趁着全国公共假期，我们一家人带了小公主重游台湾。夏日的台湾天气真的有点让人吃不消。尤其是南部，如高雄一带天气更加闷热难受。我和公主都撑不住病倒了。

由于这一次旅行是带着一家人一起去，所以没有shopping得很尽兴。要照顾老幼大小还真是不简单。还好的是临回国之前，老公陪了我去康是美一趟，买了我喜欢的护肤品。

以下开心地分享我的战利品：

KOSE softymo Speedy Cleansing Milk 180ml TWD 198 上次在澳门买了它的 cleansing oil 使用，觉得还蛮好得很，所以这次就尝试 cleansing milk，看看是否一样好用。

Entrepreneurial Instinct - MALAYSIA SME™ proudly presents the 1st ever 13-episode SME Sitcom entitled Small Mission Enterprise (S.M.E)

The right connections might get you places, but its perseverance that gets a thriving new business off the ground. Acknowledging the difficulties that budding entrepreneurs go through, MALAYSIA SME™ decided to take a light-hearted approach by announcing a 13-episode million dollar production SME Sitcom entitled Small Mission Enterprise (S.M.E). The first episode will be aired on NTV 7 on October 4 2012 and subsequently be aired every Thursday at 9pm.

Directed by comedian Douglas Lim, it has the makings of a rib-tickling affair even as it looks to create awareness of the various stumbling-blocks encountered by entrepreneurs from all walks of life – whether it be a family stationary business, a tailoring shop or a pastry café. The quirky premise pays tribute to the gung-ho spirit and determination of those who decide to strike out on their own accord.

“This will be the first time that we’re producing a sitcom with a business angle,” jokes Douglas. “I’m very glad to be part of this project. The challenge is definitely weaving the educational aspects without boring the audience to death – it still has to be funny yet intellectually relevant.” The well-known comedian will definitely strike a cord

MALAYSIA SME™ also organised a dinner soiree at the Petaling Jaya Hilton, attended by a select group of guests and members of the media who were treated to a first-hand preview of “Small Mission Enterprise” (S.M.E) – that sees snippets of show played to rib-tickling effect. And as the trials and tribulations of each character experiences mould their outlook on the ins-and-outs of funding, running and ultimately growing a business, viewers will be treated to insights into the ultimate triumph of the entrepreneurial spirit in highly relevant local scenarios.

Reverse time with Beaubelle's latest skincare

Swissceuticals is the professional beauty industry's first advance free radicals scavenger cosmeceutical range that includes pharmaceutical grade natural ingredients utilizing stem cells and oxygenation technologies. Expect quick results with the precise efficacy similar to a doctor's prescription minus the chemical-laden formulations found in most cosmeceutical skincare in the market.

After 3 years of intensive research, the Swissceuticals range is designed to counter the 3 main causes of skin aging, biological, environmental and mechanical. Biological aging is the result of changes, often genetically determined, that occur naturally within the body. Environmental aging occurs as a result of daily exposure to trillions of free radicals from a variety of sources: the UV rays, cigarette, pollution, smoke, harsh weather, and external stress. These free radicals damage the cell lipids, proteins, and DNA, all of which limit the ability of cells to function and cripple that integrity of overall cell composition. Years of accumulated environmental stress on cellular structures result in the premature aging of the skin.

Unfortunately, as with many natural functions in our bodies, our ability to generate new stem cells that allows the tissue and the organs in our bodies to rebuild and regenerate decreases too as we get older. This is one reason why we tend to heal more slowly with age.

Guests salutation by Master of Ceromony, Ms Kim Tan

Speech by BEAUBELLE CEO, Mr. Julius Lim

With this in mind, Swissceuticals is a scientifically proven cosmeceutical range that fights free radicals using stem cells technology to overcome wrinkles, dryness, enlarged pores, uneven texture, saggy, blotchy and pigmented skins.
