It’s been a pretty busy Ramadhan for us and I’m really looking forward to a nice chilled break while celebrating Raya MCO style. If anything, what this pandemic has taught me is to cherish every moment that we have and to be grateful for our health.

I’m also extremely grateful to everyone who has been so thoughtful in sending me Raya gifts. I love them all! And how beautiful are the packagings?!!

First hamper is from @marksandspencer_my. Healthy chips totally rock my boat, and the chocs are delicious! Thank you 🙏🏼

Second hamper is from @poiesis.my. Beautifully curated items all neatly arranged in this gorgeous basket!

Third is from @mooshiemellows, delicious sweet rice cakes that my daughters absolutely love! You guys have to try it.

Lastly, is a basket of my favourite brand of sauce, @hamadayasauces 😃 The quality of their selection of sauces are superb and I totally use them when I cook.

Thank you so much for the lovely gifts! This momma feels cherished 🥰

Have a beautiful Raya everyone!

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication🤍

I stan for @kosemy Sekkisei Clear Wellness’s minimalist, sustainable packaging; free from labels & printing, but absolutely beautiful🤤
The outer packagings are made of recycled cardboards too!😌♻️ 📦
Love that this initiative is helping our earth & our environment🤍 🌍

I’m loving the lightweight milk-like texture of the products, formulated with their special ingredient ITOWA, sourced from Japan’s natural environment & herbs 🌿 to clarify, hydrate & smoothen the skin☁️✨

Key ingredients 🇯🇵 :
1. ITOWA (Alpinia Speciosa Leaf Extract, Peony Extract, Noni Juice, Glycerin)
2. Job’s Tears Seed Extract
3. Bay Laurel Extract

A brand that improves sustainability while improving the health of our skin? Yesss🤍✨

❤️ THƯƠNG HIỆU CHOCOLATE THỦ CÔNG HƠN 100 NĂM TUỔI Ở ĐÀ NẴNG - MORE THAN 100 YEARS OLD CHOCOLATE BRAND IN DANANG 🍫
C thực ra biết đến Pop Kẹo - nay đã đổi tên thành Savall từ hồi mới thành lập năm 2016 cơ, nhưng rồi cũng chưa có dịp thử, cho đến tận Valentine vừa rồi J mua tặng C một hộp 🥰
Chủ của tiệm là người TBN, cùng quê vs anh J, mà thanh niên này giờ định cư ở đây, mở xưởng làm kẹo và scl nối nghiệp truyền thống của gia đình từ năm 1892 😗 Cái hay nhất mà mà 2 đứa thấy là scl ở đây sử dụng nguyên liệu địa phương, như tắc, dừa, hạt điều, đậu phộng, dâu tây,... Sản xuất ở ngay tại cửa hàng :>
Trên hình có 3 loại scl, 2 hũ nhỏ là hạt điều (88k) vs đậu phộng (88k), phủ carmel, xong đến scl trắng và bột cacao, ăn giòn, rất thơm và bùi vị hạt. Còn hộp mix vị (199k) kia thì có scl trắng vs dừa khô, scl đen bánh gạo giòn và scl đen nhân mứt quất (tắc) 😚 Tất cả đều ngon, dù thực ra C ko thích scl trắng cho lắm, vì phần lớn các loại mua sẵn đều bị hôi mùi bột sữa và quá ngọt, mà ở đây thì ko bị thế. Mn nên thử scl nhân mứt quất nhé, C thấy ngon hơn mấy loại scl cam 😗
Bọn mình thấy scl ở đây khá là đắt, nhưng đổi lại chất lượng vượt xa, kể cả so vs những hãng có tiếng luôn. Ngoài ra thì nó cũng đắt do cách đóng gói nữa, vừa thân thiện vs môi trường, lại còn gần gũi với văn hoá Việt Nam ❤️

I've known about this brand since 2016, when the owner just opened the place, since the name was still Pop Keo, now he changed it to Savall - his last name. Last Valentine, J bought me a Valentine Edition box 🥰
The owner is a Spanish, just like J, but he decided to stay here and continue his family's tradition : making candies and chocolate since 1892 😗 The best thing about this brand is all of their ingredients are taken from locals farms, like kumquat, coconut, cashew nuts, peanuts, strawberry,... The product are produced right at the store.
On the pics, we had Cashew nuts (88k) and Peanuts praline (88k) coated with white chocolate and cocoa powder, very crunchy, nutty and sweet. The mixed box had White chocolate with coconut powder, Dark chocolate with puffed rice, Dark chocolate bonbons with Kumquat jam 😆 Normally I don't like White chocolate, cuz they all tasted like milk powder, but I like those one. The kumquat jam bonbons were really interesting, for me, they were better than any orange chocolate 😚
For us, the price in here are quite expensive, but what you get are way better than any other brand you can find in here, from the quality to the packagings, environment friendly and close to Vietnamese culture.

Tried out 2 very popular blackhead masks because I love to watch videos of blackheads being removed LOLOL?
If you’re lazy to watch the whole video, the last 1 minute I did mention which mask I prefer ?

Price comparison:
Shero Ching $30 (50g)
Maskingdom $38 (50g)

Pain level:
Maskingdom is more comfortable,
Shero Ching is a bit more painful, but not the unbearable kind for me.

Drying time:
Shero Ching dries faster than Maskingdom

Both did well in removing blackheads.

As with other brands sold online, please always buy products from authentic sellers as it’s very easy for factories to copy entire packagings, but the formulas might be totally different.
These brands would have gone through the proper lab testings & attained the required certification to sell in SG, so it’s wise to get from authorised sellers only!

Side note: if you hear snoring in the background while I was talking, that’s Sean ?
Another side note: I’m not selling either masks, this is just a review to share my experience ?
