[Review] Back To The Origin | The Notion of A Good Night Rest With Origin Mattress Malaysia

We have a little secret to share - we were having neck issue while sleeping when the MCO lockdown started in March this year. We noticed the problem persisted throughout that stressful duration - must be the sudden change of lifestyle, working from home, extended period of time spending in front of the laptop working those virtual meetings, honestly, it took a toll on us, physically and emotionally. That stress somehow transferred over into the night. The next morning, when we woke up from our sleeps, we had fairly severe neck and shoulder pain. So, we thought, perhaps it was a good time to change our pillow already. The new pillow did ease the issue and we noticed improvement over time. 

So, when we were approached by Origin Mattress Malaysia (they recently launched their Malaysian website at Origin Hybrid®️ Mattress) offered us to give their  Origin Superior Coolmax® Latex Pillow a try, we were excited to give it a go as we are a strong believer of a good night sleep! Not only that, it was also being featured as one of The Best 8 Pillows In Singapore, to boot. So, we slept on it *_^

[Inspiration | Musing] Distancing

Life took a detour and arrived at a place with no name, no identity, no words could have ever described how deserted this stop looks like, an island without visitors. 2020 was, and still is remarkably unbelievable and truly unexpected. The wind looks kind of stagnant, the sky looks awkwardly gloomy at times, most of all, the human hearts turn terribly fragile and inward (can be a good thing when one goes into self reflective mode). 

Social distancing leaves us further apart in physique but draws us closer in the heart, thought and mind. We attempt to embrace the change, the new normal as much as we could. Could possibly pass off as "not too bad", given the circumstances. Life is unpredictable anyway, but was never such a huge surprise that comes with adverse impact to almost everyone, and the world at large. 

A great deal have changed, we fumble, we pick ourselves up, we forge on and continue to look ahead and forward. We hope that everyone else are doing well, evolving and growing. We will say a huge thanks to what we have at this moment, feeling the gratitude and the lesson learnt. Time is irrelevant and has become a luxury. 

Never let what needs to be said unspoken. Now means so much more than the next moment.  

Human are very distinctive and highly adaptable to change. We will be all right after all. When all this has to come to end, or at least, way better, we have healed ourselves with so much hope and love that our strength and tenacity will shine through. We can do this!

[Review] Booster With Vitamin C by Novexpert Skincare Paris

We are always intrigued by a beauty product that could possibly tackle our pigmentation and overall dullness in our complexion and improve our skin texture and radiance in general. Novexpert Paris is a skincare that was introduced to us by a friend and by works of fate, one of their best-known products eventually landed in our mailbox many moons back. We were advised to give their Vitamin C range a try, hence we received their star vitamin of anti-aging approved by dermatologist, Booster with Vitamin C serum (here for more). What really got our attention about this cosmeceuticals brand is the fact that it is 100% natural origin, hypoallergenic and ...

0% preservatives
0% parabens
0% phenoxyethanol
0% silicones
0% mineral oils
0% animal origin ingredients
0% PEG and more.

Dubbed as "my anti-aging cosmeceuticals signed by French doctors", Novexpert is a skincare brand created by a team of four French doctors who are recognised experts and researchers in the skincare industry and believe that effective anti-aging formulations should be suitable for sensitive skin as well as safe for long term use - based on medical research. In fact, certifications issued by Ecocert guarantee and highlight the best environmentally friendly and socially conscious practices, and Novexpert is one of them. Ecocert certified products contain 99% ingredients of natural origin but this French brand goes beyond that, they are 100% natural, vegan  and hypoallergenic certified.

Let's talk a little about the Booster with Vitamin C Serum, shall we?
