[REVIEW] Unboxing CubeCrate ; July 2017 Box

Unboxing my July Cubecrate box

Hey guys, i present to you CubeCrate's July 2017 Box and this time around the box seems a little heavy. Hehe. Im a little excited this for July's mystery subscription box because i would like to consider it as my birthday box from CubeCrate since im getting it during my birthday month. Hehe. I cant believe that CubeCrate has really gone a long way from the beginning, but i see them actually going strong with orders still being as active as ever! YAY!

Here's a little sneak peak on whats inside

Now as usual, i would like to spill the details on whats the featured items in this months mystery subscription box! This month surprisingly has a really cue picnic theme box as mentioned in the pamplet and it features 4 brands namely Oishi Green Tea, Tinkerberry Natural Body Treat, Kon'nichiwa and amoura Scarlett. Looks like im ready for a picnic getaway this weekend. Hehe.

OISHI GREEN TEA

Oishi Green Tea anyone?

I dont think i need an introduction to Oishi as they've been very much well known for providing really good green tea especially when you're on the go. I would usually grab a bottle from convenient stores when im craving for one, and i appreciate that CubeCrate included a bottle of Oishi Green Tea in this months box. Since one bottle wont be enough, I'm thankful that CubeCrate actually gave me the idea of what would be the perfect drink to surprise my guest during my picnic soon to plan reunion. hehe.

TINKERBERRY Natural Body Treat

Tinkerberry Shea + Rose Lip Balm

Next would be a little something from Tinkerberry Natural Bath & Body Treats. It has been described to produce dessert inspired range of bath and body products which has been carefully crafted with the finest organic ingredients without any preservatives or chemicals. I believe that in todays era, it is indeed a trend to introduce non harmful products which im all in to support.  TINKERBERRY is a new brand to me, and i managed to check out what other items they have on their site. Psst: Price is really reasonable!

Just look at those bits of rose! I like!

I got myself a Deep Moisture Therapy lip balm that contains shea and rose as the main ingredient. A personal thought on the lip balm is that I have to say that I love the fact that it has raw colors and when applied it not at all feels sticky! #perksofhandmadeproducts. It's actually VERY MOISTURISING without leaving my lips feeling uncomfortable, and truth be told, this is now in my handbag for daily moisturizing. hehe.

RACKUN.KISS

Here's a little something from Rackun Kiss

Yummy cookies which dissapeared within seconds!

I also got myself some sweet treats from Rackun.Kiss. I believe that they bake japanese inspired desserts and im assuming that they are very new in the industry. Their cookies were surprisingly really good and im in hopes to order more for ocassions! I hope CubeCrate would collaborate with them once again for some goodness and i really hope theres a special code for first time orders from Rakun.Kiss. They really have potential. AHHH! I actually feel lucky to have a bag of cookies in being available in my CubeCrate mystery subscription box. hehe.

AMORA SCARLETT

Shades with an Engraved casing with my name on it from Amora Scarlett

Last but not least would be one of the highlighted items found in my July Box from Amora Scarlett! Amoura Scarlett is famous for their array of eyewear collection which ranges from classics to edgy desings to cater to any style preferrences. I managed to scroll through their instagram account, and im already eyeing on another eyepiece from them. LAV! So i warn you, keep your card on standby if youre planning to browse through their online store. hehe

Got myself their Yellow Lens Aviator with Gold Frame worth RM112.90 which comes with a custom leather pouch exclusively by Amora Scarlett! Never really thought this existed anymore as i would consider this design rather rare being it a classic design for aviators. Way to go by bringing back the classics into trend! Im also amazed that it has my name written on their leather pouch! THANK YOU CUBECRATE for making it possible! AHHH! But its also thanks to you, i'd be spending more on shades from Amora Scarlett.

VERDICT

Here's an extra gift from CubeCrate i assume. hehe

And here is what in my July 2017 box 

And thats about it! I personally LOVE July's 2017 mystery subscription box as it features 75% of new brands that i've never heard of, but i have imediate love for once i got a taste of it. This month's box has been really exciting and it has triggered me to plan a picnic with my friends. YAY! Time to start planning and thanks for the idea CubeCrate. I have to say that my favourite item of all in this box would be the Amora Scarlett. Hehe. Cause honey, you can never have enough shades in life. I believe that i also got an Aloe Vera Natural Soothing Gel as a gift from CubeCrate as a bonus item. So tadaa! Thank you CubeCrate and thanks to you for reading my humble unboxing post. Till my next post gais xx

[HEALTH] Preventing the 3 Highs with Anlene

I know that im only 25 as of 2017, but believe me when I say that I believe that taking care of your health is very important. Both my parents being doctors at home, I really have them to thank for guiding me to take care of myself the right way. With high cholesterol, high blood pressure and high blood sugar is a serious issue which Malaysians take very lightly till it's too late, I would like to emphasize to you on a few facts and ways to prevent yourself from suffering from the 3 Highs.

"Nearly 1 in every 2 Malaysian adults has high blood cholesterol, 1 in every 3 has high blood pressure, 1 in every 6 has type 2 diabetes and 1 in four heart attack patients are below 50 years old" - Dr. Chee Kok Han.

High cholesterol, high blood pressure and high blood sugar being known as the 3 Highs, are main risk factors for non-communicable diseases, which accounts for an estimated 73% of total deaths in Malaysia. Its pretty scary when you really think about it, and it can happen to anyone who lacks knowledge on preventing the 3 Highs. Cardiovascular diseases including heart attacks and strokes are the biggest contributor to non-communicable diseases and these diseases usually depends on your dietary and lifestyle habits to achieve better heart health.

PREVENTING 3 HIGHS with ANLENE

Anlene has been the leading adult milk brand and I had a one in a lifetime chance to be present with its ambassador Dato' Sheila Majid who calls out to Malaysians to care for their hearts. Fonterra understanding consumers healthy living needs have driven the company to innovate the latest heart caring formulation and to initiate campaigns that raise awareness of heart health. This year, the new product Anlene HeartPlus features both MoveMax and HeartMax which is a combination of nutrients that cares for the heart while supporting movement of the body.

HeartMax nutrient bundle includes Plant Sterols to reduce cholesterol, Omega 3 (DHA & EPA) to help reduce triglycerides or fats in the blood and Potassium to help maintain normal blood pressure. On top of that, Anlene HeartPlus formulation is tested to be low in the glycemic index to help manage blood sugars in the body too.

"So I urge Malaysians, young and old to start taking care of their hearts and control the 3 Highs. Exercise regularly, eat a balanced diet and drink two glasses of Anlene HEART-PLUS daily and you can continue to do what you love." - Dato' Sheila Majid

Anlene Heart-Plus is now available at major retail outlets nationwide. For more information about Anlene Heart-Plus and ways to stay heart healthy, go to Anlene's Malaysia Facebook or Official Website to find out some tips and hints on keeping yourself healthy and active to keep your 3 Highs in check.

The array has always been overwhelming and i always, i repeat 'always', get excited on which dish to eat and on which dish to save it for last. Mmmhmm.

Some catches from the live stations

The highlights of the dinner buffet include live stations dishing out chicken shawarma, roasted lamb shoulder with rosemary just, freshly grilled chicken and beef satay and salt crusted baked whole sea bass to name a few.
