Happy CNY 2014 & my visit to FGS Dong Zen Temple in Jenjarom

 

My OOTD on CNY eve. Was wearing a pink blouse with horse prints and Cotton On skirt.

Happy Chinese New Year everyone. Hope I'm not too late to wish you all a prosperous in this year of the Horse. I know I been away for too long. I was back to my hometown Segamat, Johor for 2 week. And in case you are wondering what I'm busy in that 2 weeks, besides helping my mum to prepare to celebrate CNY... 

I was busy munching away a lot of CNY cookies, playing hangingwith my siblings, catching up with old schoolmates.. and right after that after that I felt sick and had a really bad allergy attacks. Went to doctor twice to take 2 jabs...and haven't actually recover yet.. until yesterday. Now still coughing and having headaches... I think this is post holiday symptoms.. Well let me do a short post on where I went yesterday :)

Since I got a little better yesterday, we went to our annual CNY visit to Fo Guang San Temple in Jenjarom. Well like every year... this year is also crowded... we are stucked in the jam for an hour when we are just like 15 minutes away.  

Each year FGS Temple has different theme and they really put up a lot of effort in decorating it. Entrance fee is free and it's only opened for public visit within the 15 days of CNY. This is a tourist attraction so expect the crowd.

Happy to know that we arrived just in time to see the flower parade.  

As you can see it's really really crowded...the lightings are really beautiful so recommended to go at evening or night. FGS Dong Zen temple are opened from 10.30am to 10pm (from the 1st to 15th day of CNY). More information visit http://www.fgs.org.my

The bird view of FGS Dong Zen Temple in Jenjaron for year 2014. We paid RM6/each person and took the ferris wheel. It was breezy up there and the view was really beautiful.

 Yesterday OOTD. Wore Dorothy Perkins Blue Floral Bardot Dress which I bought for CNY

This is the wishing tree, where you can buy a small paper and write down your wish and hang it on it.

Spotted this and got to share this :) Self reminder for this year..to practice the 3 GOOD 

And if you like taking pictures, don't forget to bring your camera along :)

I think I am going to rest a bit more, catch up with my work and I promise to come back to my blogging asap :)

GONG XI FATT CHAI everyone! I hope you have a galloping good year ahead!

Light Up the Season with L'occitane Christmas Holiday Un Noel a Grasse Collection!

In conjunction with the Christmas Holiday season, L'occitane introduced additional two new limited additions of scents & body products to the existing La Collection de Grasse which was introduced last May. 

 The NEW Fleur d'Or & Acacia (for her) and Cedre & Oranger (for him) fragrance

L'occitane Fleur d'Or & Acacia (For Her) comes in orange/gold packaging and consists of 8 products.

Key raw materials: Mimosa Absolute from Grasse, Acacia from the Mediterranean Basin.

Family: Musky Floral

Head notes: Lemon, Bergamot

Heart notes: Mimosa, Acacia

Base notes: White Wood, Musk. 

By looking at the ingredients, it would be a sweet scent for sure. My first thought of L'occitane Fleur d'Or & Acacia EDT (75ml for RM225) when I tried it on my hand is that it has a very strong warm honey scent which is too much for my liking. To my surprise it smell quite different when my friend tried on her hand. So I guess the chemical reaction is different from persons and you got to try it to see if the scent suits you personally. 

 Besides fragrance, L'ocittane also produced a whole series of body products for this range such as

Luminous Oil (100ml, RM110)

Glitter and light, shimmering particles, shea butter and sweet almond oil…Nourishing yet lightweight, mist this sheer, fluid dry oil over hair and body for a scented veil of moisture.

Shower Gel (175ml, RM62)

Lit up by golden pearly particles, this velvety-soft gel melts into a dense, rich foam on contact with water. Skin is deliciously scented with a powdery floral scent.

Perfumed Soap (50g, RM21)

Bathtime is now a luxurious experience with this soap bar, which gently cleanses with a creamy lather.

Body Milk (175ml, RM92)

The feather-light texture skins in to leave skin smooth and soft with Shea Butter and Sweet Almond Oil. Skin stays comfortably hydrated and wonderfully scented.

Lip Gloss (15ml, RM56)

It has smooth, creamy texture that nourishes, protects and leaves a beautiful sheen on the lips. 

Hand Cream (30ml, RM38)

Rapidly absorbed, the scented hand cream nourishes and moisturises hands anywhere, anytime of the day.

Scented Candle (270g, RM135)

Light up your living space with this luminous scent with bursts of refreshing orange that will definitely relax frazzled minds.

While L'occitane Cedre & Oranger (For Him) comes in forest green packaging offers a total of 5 products.

L'occitane Cedar & Oranger EDP (75ml, RM225) offers a fresh woody scent of cedar wood that bring back memories of good times as a child are paired with the scent of orange trees, laden with ripe, juicy fruits. Solemn and majestic yet cheeky, this fragrance is sweetened by hints of musk, to create a bold, intense impression.

Key raw materials: Virginian Cedarwood Essential Oil, Italian Orange Essence.

Family: Citrus Woody

Head notes: Orange, Bergamot, Pine Needles

Heart notes: Cedar

Base notes: Vetiver, Musk

For this men range, there is only 3 products to complement the EDP i.e

After Shave Balm 75ml, RM120: Housed in an understated aluminium tube, this post-shave balm soothes, moisturises and leaves skin lightly scented.

Shower Gel 175ml, RM62: Perfect for the gym or weekends away, this gentle 2-in-1 formula is ideal for skin and hair.

Perfumed Soap 50g, RM21: This non-dying soap bar cleanses without stripping away skin’s natural moisture. Perfect for hands and body.

Between this 2 scent, I would prefer L'occitane Cedre & Oranger although this is the men range. Although usually I don't like very woody or musky scent, but this L'occitane Cedar & Oranger EDP scent caught my attention. The citrus scent seems to balance the musky scent very well. This is worth checking out! 

Just like the past years,L'occitane also would be offering limited edition gift sets which is perfect as Christmas gift. Below are the set for this Christmas collection:

Fleur d’Or Leur Collection For Her RM341 (worth RM379) comes with Holiday Box

Fleur d’Or EDT 75ml

Fleur d’Or Shower Gel 175ml

Fleur d’Or Body Milk 175ml

Shine with Fleur d’Or For Her RM201 (worth RM379) comes with Holiday Pouch 

Fleur d’Or Lip Gloss 15ml

Fleur d’Or Hand Cream 30ml

Fleur d’Or Sublime 75ml

Cedre Dargent Collection (worth RM407) comes with Holiday Box

Cedre EDT 75ml 

Cedre Shower Gel 157ml

Cedre Aftershave 75ml

Apart from the products, I would love to share some of the pictures from the event where I had my first Christmas lunch way back in October which I would love to share with you guys :) 

Love the beautiful table set up :)

The food in PLOY is really good! Oh we even have turkey after that! 

Last but not least, want to thanks L'occitane because I had fun :) 

And with Christmas just few weeks away, let's shop for gifts!
