Hi folks,
In tropical climate, getting the right shampoo for me is as easy as 1-2-3. With or without conditioner will do since my hair is pretty easy to manage. The only reason why I might be picky about choosing a shampoo is either the fragrant, special offers or merely the thirst of trying new brands. I realize that I had another problem besides immigration and culture shock when I came to the Netherlands for the first time: bad hair day! Cold, dry climate and hard water are a deadly combination for my hair as it became static, tangled and hard to comb. I hate wasting my time applying conditioner after shampooing, but had difficulty to find 2 in 1 shampoo that really works. Finally, my hair is silky smooth and easy to comb thanks to Protique 2 in 1 Shampoo from Amway, Schwarzkopf BC Bonacure Smooth Control and Nivea Care Express 2 in 1 Shampoo.
Well, it is not mentioned that the Schwarzkopf BC Bonacure Smooth Control is 2 in 1 shampoo. But the salesperson said that conditioner is not necessary for this product. She's right, I'm free from tangled hair! However, years later, I accidentally checked this product information online, saying that it should be followed by conditioner. Oops, did she give me the wrong information or did I get her wrong? No matter what they say, I believe what I feel after use matters the most. In a nutshell, they all make my hair much more manageable in unfriendly climate!

MEDICATED OIL AS ANTI ACNE?
Hi folks,
Yes, it's my first time to use medicated oil as anti acne! Check my story:
A big blotch next to my right eyebrow ruined my look; it didn't seem to go away for a couple of weeks. Even my regular anti blemish couldn't rescue me from this "thing". One day, my grandmother and my aunt advised me to apply Minyak Gosok Cap Tawon (Bee Brand Medicated Oil). Well, I know that the oil can heal wounds, burns, rheumatism, suffocation, headache, skin infections, and many more. But a blotch on a face? Hmmm.... no harm to try. Within a couple of days, the size of the "thing" started to minimize gradually and it's going, going,....gone! Wow, I was amazed how fast it works! Since then, this "minyak gosok" becomes "a must" in my dressing room. Just tap a small amount of the oil on cotton or finger directly to the spot, miracle happens! It's the most affordable (and multi functional) anti acne that really rocks. It's time to show some more appreciation for local (Indonesian) products! This product is obtainable nationwide, from "warung", grocery stores, drugstores, until supermarkets. For those who live abroad, it's available online, e.g. eBay, or try to find it in Asian stores.

BABYLICIOUS BALM
Hi folks,
Honestly speaking, even though I love experimenting beauty products on my skin, I never knew there's Vaseline Petroleum Jelly with Baby Fresh Scent until I got it from my sister in Canada. Or may be I just never really look at baby product department?? Originally produced for protecting baby's skin against diaper rash, I mainly use it as a lip balm instead of applying on any part of chapped skin when necessary, and it really works! My lips feel softer, moisturised and free from roughnes. Besides, other things I love best about this product is the lovely light baby fragrant which is not available in any scented lip balms and last but not least, the price is truly affordable!
