Here I was stumbling across a product called neutrogena skin id and the website featured is nothing about the item or anything about the brand in question.

In fact I was just wondering what line of products Neutrogena was manufacturing. Apparently its a line of skincare for acne skin but you couldn’t have guessed reading that site.

Makes you wonder just what sorts of sites are out there eh?

Needless to say, that blog died from want of attention. I would like to assure that this won’t suffer the same fate. But who’s to say what happens in the future.

Fingers crossed we survive!

Its to do with the level of drugs in the lotion.

Of course, for public consumption they cannot fill it chock full of medication. Some people might have skin that is too sensitive. At a dermatologist, they can control the amount of active ingredients that go into a lotion or cream for your skin. I guess thats why they command so much :P

There was a free promo and sample from www.mywomenstuff.com before the Chinese New Year.

The SA at Parkson Pavilion was helpful and took me through the massage steps one by one. There was a noticable lift in part of my face. Quite impressive. Tested it at home and I must admit to liking this one a lot.

Now to save up for it.

Firstly it was hidden behind a wooden duck. A large wooden duck.

Secondly, it quacked. Yes, quacked as you enter the store. I thought it was adorable! Wanted to ask where they got it or if there were other options – a dog barking maybe – that could act as a deterrent for the home!

But the owner wasnt in. Maybe next time.

Quack!

Not an easy task if you don’t regularly file away your documents like a friend I know.

Fortunately I do so when the time comes, I just pull out 1 file and I’m good to go. I’m not yet ready to do e-filing though. I’m afraid my information will get lost in cyberspace :P

At one time, the market for new phones seemed to have stagnated.

But now, with the iPhone and the Blackberry capturing people’s imaginations by storm the race is now on to get the newest hippest mobile. Question is, how long will it last because you get bored and get another? And how much money is getting wasted because of this chase?

I’m happy with mine really even if I feel the tug of a blackberry.

I have enough insurance now and yet I keep getting all these callers offering me more insurance. How much insurance does a person need?!

The worst part is that you don’t really want to use your insurance policy right? that would mean something has happened to you. Such a quandary of life.

Aiyee! Why don’t I get decent custom water bottles from events? Better if they are the BPA free variety so I can carry my water around properly instead of having to buy drinking water everywhere I go which is essential in this heat.

I lost my bottle you see. And I have any number of folders and pens already. It would be nice to get a water bottle. Maybe if someone launches a hydrating product they could consider this?:P
