Attending Madam Ell's Birthday Bash X Luslimlabeb Launch
Being a breastfeeding mom, the struggle of consuming what is safe for the baby can be challenging at times. And to some mom’s out there, you would understand the amount of food we have to eat in order to keep the supply available for the baby constantly. And with that, its actually very challengknf for a breastfeeding mom to maintain an ideal body weight since we tend to overconsume at times. (Inserts sad face here)

With the birthday girl / entreprenuer
Presenting tea that is safe for breastfeeding mommies
So, when i found out about Olathee Luslimlabeb, i was amazed to encounter that they offer a slimming tea that is safe for breastfeeding moms. Like, you heard me right huney, its slimming tea designed to be safe for breastfeeding mommies. As a mum, I understand the struggle of juggling with a baby at hand which usually takes up most of your time where you can say bye bye to you evening exercises as the baby starts crying the moment you try to leave the house. But with Olathee Luslimlabeb, now its possible to lose weight without the need to go on a crazy intensive diet, not require to keep up with an exercise routine.



Before i go into the breastfeeding friendly variant, they started off with 2 variants offered by Olathee Luslimlabeb Slimming Tea, one to be consumed in the morning and the other to be consumed just before you head off to bed. The Morning Boost Tea has been designed to give you a boost of energy in the morning, while the Evening Doze Off relaxes the mind and body while giving the body natural slimming benefits. The secret behind these tea's would be that Luslimlabeb uses a secret herb that is usually expensive when bought in stores individually and can be hard to find due to its availability.

Based on Madam Ell's first hadn experience
Luslimlabeb has made it more convinient for consumers to consume slimming tea while reducing the time of preparation that usually takes up a lot of time, especially when preparing the ingredients is not conveniently pre-packed in a tea bag. Luslimlabeb has proven to have assisted women who are obese and overweight concerns to achieve their ideal BMI, giving them more confidence in appearance and in maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Got my eyes on the Luslimlabeb Rooibose & Roselle Tea Mix
Ready packed in tea bags for easy preparation
Now with the product being proven to work, Luslimlabeb now has a team of Ultimate babes with Ultimate results who has lost at least 10kg's to be non-categorized within the obese department, and that is impressive! This beats your regular slimming tea as its also designed to be safe to consume for mommies too. Being a fully breastfeeding mom, i was surprised to find that they have another variant specially designed for mommies too! With a year of R&D, Luslimlabeb has managed to design a slimming tea that is natural and safe for breastfeeding.

Dip the teabag in hot water for at least 3 minutes and its ready to be consumed
Now i dont have to worry about enjoying tea while breastfeeding! Thank you Madam Ell!
The Luslimlabeb for mommies uses 7 types of herbs that functions to help in losing weight but yet still safe for mommies to consume when they are breastfeeding. Im surprised to see Luslimlabeb taking consideration for mommies who want to lose weight after delivery too. I had a taste of it and i would have to say that the flavour is pretty decent. I was expecting it to taste bitter, but surprisingly i love the slight sour taste it has and i actually enjoyed it without sugar. Yums!

Thank you for creating 
All in all, i would have to say that Olathee Luslimlabeb is worth trying and it may help you with losing weight without putting too much effort in commitment. I still believe that if you consume slimming tea while also making some time to exercise at least once a week, that would help speed up the process of losing weight. Honestly im enjoying the fact that i can enjoy drinking tea without the need to worry about breastfeeding my baby. Do check out their official sites below for more info on what Olathee Luslimlabeb has to offer.

[FOOD REVIEW] Barnana Leaf Restaurant in Kuala Lumpur by Masala Wheels

Check out this delicious plate of Briyani Banana Leaf
Being in food heaven a.k.a Malaysia, one of the most popular dishes that we have here would be Banana Leaf. It may be a struggle to find the best Banana Leaf that Kuala Lumpur has to offer, but I've stumbled upon a very unique place within the heart of Kuala Lumpur called Banana Leaf Restaurant by Masala Wheels located just next to Red Sirocco Hotel. Skipping all the hassle, let me share with you a review of what this store has to offer. Scroll away!

The shop is located right nextto Red Sirocco Hotel
The humble menu of what they have to offer
Now, you may see and heard of the basic Banana Leaf, but what if I told you that you can enjoy Briyani and Banana Leaf at the same time? Well, surprise! Instead of the usual banana leaf, this restaurant offer Briyani served in Banana Leaf. YUMMY! There are 3 varieties to try namely, the Vegetable Briyani, Chicken Briyani, and Mutton Briyani. Also, let me just highlight this to you that the Briyani exlusive is available every Sunday ONLY.

Vegetable Briyani - RM12

Vegetable Briyani 
Starting off with the Vegetable Briyani, I must say that this was surprisingly one of my favorite Briyani that they had to offer. Despite it being vegetarian, it's very rich in flavor and very much enjoyable with curry and dhal that is also served with the dish. Not to forget, it's only priced at RM12 per serving and the best part, it's always served hot! So when the Briyani touches the banana leaf (that serves as a plate), the aroma just fills in the air to give you a little teaser of what is going to fill your stomach.

Chicken Briyani - RM18

Chicken Briyani
Especially for chicken lovers, the Briyani rice is actually cooked with chicken leaving the rice grains to be packed with the essence of chicken. Personally speaking, I was surprised to find the dish being very generous with the amount of chicken. The spices of the chicken actually went really well with the biryani dish and I would have to highlight that the chicken was really tender thus really enjoyable to indulge into. The flavour was not at all too strong, and it had just the right amount of flavour within the dish.

Mutton Briyani - RM24

Mutton Briyani
And last but not least would be the Mutton Briyani. I was expecting the spices within this dish to be pretty similar to the chicken biryani, but I guess I was wrong. When I had a bite on the Mutton Briyani dish, im surprised to find that the taste of mutton was all over each grain of rice. The portion of the mutton wasn't as much as the chicken, but I guess it does fills the tummy pretty well when youre hungry considering mutton is a little more on the heavier side when it comes to digestion. If you love mutton, then this is a must-try!

Always served with a clay pot where the Briyani is prepared and served on banana leaf
Nothing beats enjoying Briyani with a glass of Teh Tarik Ice
I guess to conclude my visit here, I would have to say that I love the presentation and the taste of the food! The biryani is served in a clay pot being poured onto your banana leaf plate, accompanied with a whole egg, fermented onions, curry and dhal for you to enjoy. Im usually not a fan of curry from the typical 'Mamak stalls', but their curry is definitely one of a kind. It's very rich in flavor and trust me, you'd have no regrets dining here! it's reasonably priced and won't burn a hole in your pocket. The menu is pretty straight forward and what they offer is what they take pride in. So, if youre looking for some good Briyani Banana Leaf in Kuala Lumpur, I recommend you try this!

ORGGA | Malaysian Organic Skincare

Reviewing ORGGA, Natural Skincare that works!
I cant be more proud to share with you a Malaysian Skincare, ORGGA, offering the Natural Skincare that works! ORGGA has a mission to be the first Malaysian skincare brand that offers the best quality of all natural and organic ingredients that gives the skin positive results. And personally, i was won over the brand when i found out that they are natural, organic, cruelty free, safe and effective to be used on the skin. If other skincare goes wrong, this may be your safest bet being available right here in Malaysia.

The 4 products to be reviewed today
As you would know, i have combination skin and it pretty much sucks that 1 skincare range is never good enough because of all the types of concerns that i have for mny skin. Well yes, i had natural glowy skin when i was pregnant, but after giving birth, i was surprised with acne popping up here and there, and dont get me started on the oil production my skin is producing (yucks!). Stumbling upon ORGGA, i found their values very trustworthy and i decided to give this skincare a go. And since the results were rather impressive, it definitely deserves a blogpost on what i think about it.

In today's post i'll be sharing with you 4 products from ORGGA that caught my attention, and plus, its very versatile for any skin-type. Skipping the typical skincare set, i decided to go for the Bacca Bliss 3 in 1 Daily Cleansing Powder, the Rose Otto Nourishing Face Mist, the Libra Luxe Beauty Oil and the Rose Quartz Face Roller. Now lets get into details!

Bacca Bliss 3 in 1 Daily Cleansing Powder

Orgga French Rose Daily Cleansing Powder
Comes in powder form, and can be used as a cleanser or mask
Honestly i was intrigued by the idea that its made out of Rasberry, Strawberry, Grape Seed and Licorice Root. Being a berry fan, i was already hooked to the idea of having berries within the list of ingredients. Skip the boring cream cleanser, the texture of this is in a form of a cleansing powder which i find to be very unique. There are 3 functions of this which would be that it cleanses, exfoliates and also can be used as a mask. Woohoo!

Feels like gentle exfoliation
To use this, i would usually remove my make up then rinse my face so that its slightly damp. Pour around 1 tsp of powder on palm, mix it with water till it becomes like paste, then gently massage your face in circular motion. Then rinse and pat, its as easy as that! If you want to use this as a mask, you may also use leave it on as a mask for 2-5 minutes. I've been using this as a cleanser for a week now, and my skin seems to love the formulation of it as i havent experienced any break outs! Yay!

Rose Otto Nourishing Face Mist

Rose Otto Nourishing Face Mist
Next would be the Rose Otto Nourishing Face Mist which can also be a substitute to your toner. I love the idea that it comes in a spray bottle, so i wont need to applying it on a cotton pad but instead apply it directly to my face with just 2 sprays. Its formulated with  hydrosol, fruit extracts, rich essential oils, vegetable glycerin and aloe vera which did a good job in leaving my skin feeling refreshed and moisturised.

All you need is a few spritz to feel refreshed
To use this, i would usually hold it about 15cm away from face and it would be advisable to gently shake the bottle before spraying to face. Spray it lightly over face and neck, then gently pat face till dry or till the skin fully absorbs mist. I love that the mist feels very lightweight on skin, and if you have pore concerns like me, then this works well in closing up your pores after cleansing.

Lindo Luxe Beauty Oil

Libra Luxe Beauty Oil
Next would be the Libra Luxe Beauty Oil which is one of ORGGA products that i was really excited to try. I never thought that oil can actually help the skin condition even if youre facing concerns such as oily skin. ORGGA offers 3 types of oils, but this time around im using Lindo, which has been specially formulated for those having oily and acne concerns, which makes it perfect for my skin type. Formulated with 10 types of botanical oil and 6 high quality essential oils, im surprised that its reasonably priced!

As you can see, the texture look spretty oily
But when applied, surprisingly it feels pretty lightweight
To use this, i would usually apply this after the mist, and just slightly before skin fully dries. If its your first time applying oil to your skin, i would advise you to skip the moisturizer cream cause this moisturizes your skin good enough. Take 2-3 drops of oil then gently massage the skin. In terms of texture, i would have to say that its oily (duh) at first, but after giving the skin a good massage, it becomes lighter and skin just feels moisturized. Not to forget, did you know that after applying this, i find that it works great as a makeup primer as well?

Rose Quartz Face Roller

Rose Quartz Face Roller
To encourage skin with better absorption
The Rose Quartz Face Roller is actually an additional benefit for the skin if youre looking to pamper your skin with a luxurious treat. I've done some research and found that by using a Roze Quartz, it helps to detoxify and rejuvenate the skin. Other benefits of using quartz as a face roller would be that it stimulates collagen production, reduces fine lines, helps reduce pores, increases skin elasticity.

Verdict

Definitely feeling like i have that natural glow #nomakeup
And with that being said, as a verdict, i would like to say that im pretty impressed with ORGGA for developing a skincare range that has been very well thought off, while using high quality ingredients that would actually benefit the skin by using natural organic ingredients. As you can see, i've used 3 products plus a face roller to maintain my skin, and i am loving the results as i do see my skin condition improving. I can conclude that Orgga uses premium ingredients that is afforadable for everyone. I honestly cant wait to try other products that they have to offer soon! Be sure to check out ORGGA by visiting their social sites to find out more on what they have to offer.

5 Great Malaysian Dishes You Must Have

Being Malaysian, i have to admit that im blessed to be surrounded by a varierty of food with tons options to choose from. Be it from indian cuisines, chinese cuisinr, malay cuisines and some even just pure Malaysians rojak style. Thus, in todays post, i’ll be sharing  with you my top 5 Malaysian dishes that you must try. 



1. Banana Leaf Rice

One of my favourite Malaysian dishes of all times! Other than going on with the full Malaysian experience, this dish is loved by many people from different cultures and Malaysia is proud to call this our very own Malaysian Banana Leaf dish. For the complete experience, be prepared to eat with your hands, and trust me that you’d liking your hands to clean of the curry and the essence coming from the banana leaf itself.


2. Nasi Lemak 

Nasi Lemak is an all rounder dish loved by Malaysians at hearts. Its basically coconut rice served with condiments such as anchovies, nuts, cucumber with thr ultimate star ingnredient, the sambal. It can be enjoyed at any time of the day, and its always a dish that Malaysians would keep coming back for from their short travels once theyve returned. It can be pratically be found at any part of Malaysia and if youre feeling extra hungry, you can enjoy this dish with squid sambal, fried chicken and rendang of your choice.


3. Asam Pedas

Asam pedas is for those who loves flavours that has a combination of spicy and sour in one dish. Usually prepared with fish, but it can also be indulged with chicken too. The main ingredients are dried chillies, tamarind, belacan and shallots. One of the most loved dishes by Malaysians as well. If youre a fan of spice, this dish is a must try! 


4.Rojak 

Rojak is similar to a salad that is served with a lot of varieties. Usually available from a mamak stall, you may consider ordering yourself a bowl of rojak mamak, which would consist of hard boiled eggs, fried dough fritters, bean curds, potatoes, cuttlefish, cucumbers, with spicy peanut sauce on top. If youre feeling like having fruits, then theres another common version called ‘rojak buah’ which also means fruit rojak, where some of the ingredients are substituted for fruits such as pineapple and jicama, and topped off with a special dressing made of belacan, chilli and lime juice.


5. Keropok Lekor

A great afternoon snack for those who want something light for tea time. Its actually minced fish compressed then fried in really hot heat. Usually enjoyed with chili dipping, but it taste just as good as it is! If youre feeling hungry sometime between lunch and dinner, this is a light snack for you to enjoy with friends and family without entirely ruining your appetite. 

Honestly i find that these dishes are a must try to anyone who wants to explore the Malaysian cuisine. These dishes mentioned are also very versatile for anyone to enjoy, not forgetting that its filled with flavours that everyone can enjoy, including the kids. Hunting for it may be a struggle for some, so why not consider ondering some of these amazing dishes online via one of my favourite apps, FoodPanda

Instead of hunting, let the food come to you while you pick your choice of food being safely delivered to your doorstep. So what are you waiting for? If you havent tried any of these dishes listed, its about time that you do! Trust me, a bite of an of these in the list, i can gurantee no regrets! Hope you found this article helpful!

Softest Japanese Eye Lashes | Butterfly Project Gathering X Dolly Wink

Thank you for having me Dolly Wink X Butterfly Project
So its that time of year again where the Butterfly Project community gathers together to celebrate an early christmas celebration! Was so happy to be a part of the event as i got to catch up with fellow blogger friends and had some really fun challenges featuring Dolly Wink. Still cant believe that we had an amazing time and i cant thank enough to Dolly Wink for sponsoring the community and giving all of us the chance tk celebrate the season of gifting.

The variety of Eye Lashes offered by Dolly Wink
We had 4 varieties to explore with
Upon arrival, we started of with a small introduction on what we’ll be doing that day and i was welcomed with a goodie bag filled with Dolly Wink products! I was actually really surprised to find myself exploring 4 different varieties of lashes in the bag, and i had a hard time deciding on which last to pick to actually include in the upcoming challenge for the day.

With blogger friends just casually hanging out and enjoying our time together
Here are the four variants that we all received and all of it has different purposes for different ocassions. I decided to try the yellow boxed lash as i found that to be very unique as the lashes had like a two-tone colour featuring black and brown on the lashes. In terms of texture, i was so surprised that it felt very soft and lightweight. Im not kidding cause its by far THE SOFTEST lashes i’ve ever laid my hands on.

Busy figuring out on how to create unique looks
So the challenge if the day was actually to create the most creative eye look with the products provided by Dolly Wink on that day. We were given lashes, lash glue and eye liner to work with and i’s say it was pretty challenging since we didnt have and eyeshadow. The trick of the day was basically to test our eyeliner styling skills and i guess i managed to create a cat eye pattern with their eye liner which was very thin, smooth and easy to actually draw with. What do you think of the look? 
Congratulations to the top 3 best dressed winners!
We were given 30 minutes to be creative with our eye look and it was pretty challenging to do an eye look with limited period of time. I admit that the deadline and the adrenaline of rushing did affect my drawing skills cause my hands were practically shivering. But on a personal note, im very impressed thaf these lashes are actually easy to apply and it fees really comfortable too! Overall i would say that everyone did a pretty great job with drawing their eye liner and the top 5 who won the best eye looks were seriously neat and creative! Congratulations for their effort and i would have ti agree that they do have the skills in playing with eyeliner. 


We definitely had a great time, and also had Kakiyuki to share while we're there

It was held in Kakiyuki, a japanese concept dessert store selling amazing flavours of shaved ice. It happens to be one of my favourite dessert locations, and getting a bite of it again with fellow bloggers really is a different experience as we would usually feed the camera first before feeding ourselves. Haha. Been wanting to try the christmas edition dessert and got to try both the special limited time dessert namely Chocolate mint and Blackcurrant Custard with Sarah, Fatin and Qhaleesa.

I'd say that the eyelashes does make a difference that gives a natural outcome

Since we only had 2 hours to really spend time together, despite having really short period of time, im happy to say that it was the best 2 hours i had throughout the whole week. It was fun and short and very explorative with Dolly Wink eye products. After getting a chance to play around the their lashes, i would have to mark their lashes as one my favourite brands to work with! Its really soft, and when applied, it literally feels like i wasnt wearing any lashes! Im amazed! Anyways, i’ll end my post here and i cant wait to create more looks with the Dolly Wink lashes. Till my next post! xx
