Lush

 Excuse the background



ZANKEUWW PETER





 I know that in Malaysia we don't have Lush. And bear with me because I'm not trying to brag but holy mother of cow their product is amazing. Also, I'm sorry that this blog post is such a delayed blog post. Delayed as in for almost half a year. Whoops :3

So, a few months back my parents went to Macau, China and at that time, I was extremely into Lush products. I used to watch videos on YouTube having YouTubers rave about how amazing Lush products are. I told my mom to maybe pick up some goodies for me. My mom isn't a big fan of over-powering scents so she picked up some basic products which are the Honey Trap lip balm and the Lemony Flutter cuticle butter. Yum. Let me just tell you how great they smell! Also the packaging of their products are amazing. SO quirky and cute and it also organic. The tubs are made out of recycled plastic. If you bring back 5 clean full sized pots or tubes you'd get a free mask (which I'll never get). Now I have to say it is pricey since it is a UK brand but the products does give justice overall. Oh and did I mention that all of their products are handmade? They have a sticker on the back of the tub that says who made this product so, thank you Peter.

Now I have to say, when I first got it and smelt it I was like urgh. But the scent did grow on me. It does say that it's a cuticle butter but you can use it on your body and it absorbs quite quickly so it does not leave you feeling greasy or whatever. That's most important so 100 points for Lemony Flutter for that. As for Honey Trap, I wasn't too keen on sticking my finger into the pot but I use it mainly before I sleep and I wake up to soft soft lips. Hmm~ And it smells like white chocolate and honey. Psh talk about sweet dreams HAH GET THAT? No? OK :(

In other words, I don't mean to brag about what I got but I just want to share with you guys so that we could all smell good and look good hah. If you ever happen to go somewhere wish Lush do try their products. It smells so good as if you can eat it. But don't eat it literally. Unless you want to die.

Hang Zhou, China.




















Someone should yell at me to update my blog. Not everyday but more frequently.
I should feel much ashamed that my China trip was two months ago and I'm uploading it now. I feel like my apologies are useless and not worthy anymore. 

So, I went to China for the first time and it was my first time being out of the country (not kidding). My mom  got tickets early to Hang Zhou as Air Asia was having some flight deals. It was after my SPM so it felt great to finally finish school and travel. I really really like travelling. I was quite happy to know that it would be cold and stuff like I felt so fancy wearing winter jackets, scarfs and beanies with boots. Hey don't judge me, like I told you it was my first time travelling to somewhere else. Our flight was quite early so it was such a drag to leave my soft and comfy bed at 4am. 

So when we landed and headed to the custom, I could feel the cold air in the airport which was quite exciting. It felt kinda nice to be able to walk around without having to sweat. We took a taxi to our hotel which we took awhile to find and the driver was really nice but I swear the people in China drives insane. They would speed and honk and speed and break. Our hotel wasn't anything fancy but we didn't really wanted to stay in somewhere above budget because we'd be out sight-seeing early and throughout the day and get back late so we really didn't need much of a fancy hotel. 

Hang Zhou is a beautiful city. Filled with Chinese authenticity but I guess the only downside of it are the people. Okay this is personal preference but I swear the people would spit their phlegm wherever. I'M SERIOUS! On the streets, in the malls, in restaurants and just wherever. They don't close their cubicle doors when they excrete. They push you when you're in the way like hello, 'excuse me' isn't that hard. Oh and they let their kids pee by the side of the road. I even saw this father who carried his son in the airport to let him pee in the trash can. 

After all, the trip was amazing and the food was yum! Well, I would like to travel more soon. I would love to travel with my friends too. It interests me to learn more about different countries' culture.
