WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN GEL CLEANSER, OIL CLEANSER, BALM CLEANSER, BAR SOAP, WATER CLEANSER (MICELLAIRE) , LOTION CLEANSER , PEELING GEL, MILK CLEANSER AND MASSAGE CREAM?

Hi beautiful,

*what to do?* I am out of post and since I have already did the post about those essence, serum and another post about masks, I might as well do one for the cleanser.  I think there are people that find choosing a cleanser as confusing as other sort of skin care.  Besides, not many people would really bother about choosing a cleanser for themselves too.  Some might just choose whatever their mother or family are using.

However, I think it is important to choose a suitable cleanser according to your skin type and preference because some certain cleanser can aggravate your skin conditions especially when you have skin problem such as mine.

1.FOAM CLEANSER

Description: Most common cleanser used with water to clean the skin.

Usage: Add water to the cleanser and rub the cleanser until it foam up.

Skin type: for oily skin or for those who love lots of bubbles or those that can withstand harsher treatment. Those with acne prone skin or sensitive are recommended to stay away from this as it can hurt the skin.

Examples: 
Pyungkang Yul Cleansing Foam
Beauty of Joseon Silky Moist Cleansing FoamBaviphat Natural pure Lemon Facial Foam (dislike this)

Clean and clear fruit essentials facial cleanser Purifying Apple
23 Years Old Pergillus 15Sec Foam Cleanser
Cerave foaming facial  

Klavuu Pure Pearlsation Revitalising Facial Cleansing Foam

2.GEL CLEANSER

Description: Gel cleanser that has gel texture.  It usually does not much foam and some doesn’t foam up at all.  Cleanses the skin without being too dry. It is good to use it during winter or summer.

Usage: Add water to the gel and rub it on the skin.

Skin type: Usually suits all sort of skin. It is generally gentle to the skin and there is less friction on the skin.  Suits acne prone and combination skin.

Examples:
Pinkpage gentle wash
Oxygen women and teen 2 in 1 Cleanser
A'kin Sandalwood and Neroli Pure Facial Cleansing Gel
Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser ,
NUXE Gel DÉmaquillant Fondant Melting Cleansing Gel
Himalaya Purifying Neem Face Wash


3. OIL CLEANSER

Description: It has oil texture. It is for double cleaning - means using oil to remove makeup or sunscreen and then use another water based cleanser (foam, gel, milk). There are skin that doesn't like double cleansing.  Depending on the oil cleanser, there can be many type of based- mineral oil, camellia oil, olive oil etc .

Usage: Apply on dry skin and massage. Then add a little water to emulsify (turn into milky water) the cleanser. Follow up with a gel or foam cleanser.

Skin type: This cleanser is usually for dry skin type or clogged prone skin.

Examples:

Sulwhasoo Gentle Oil cleansing Ex
Natural Pacific Fresh Herb Origin Cleansing Oil
Dr.Lewinn's Essentials 4 Fusion Cleansing oil
Hada Labo Gokujyun cleansing oil
skii facial treatment cleansing oil
Klairs Gentle Black Deep Cleansing Oil
Kose Softymore speedy oil cleanser
Trilogy Rosehip Transformation Cleansing Oil


4. BALM CLEANSER

Description:  Comes in form of a balm waxy texture.   Balm cleansers are usually more expensive for the effort put into manufacturing them. It comes in form of jar.

Some bar soap are handmade and generally the soaps are less harsh but these type of soaps are more expensive than the one in drugstore.

Usage: Foam the bar of soap with water and apply it onto the skin.

Skin type: For the body or very oily skin.  People with sensitive and acne prone skin should avoid bar soap at all cost.

Examples:

Seri Emas Facial Soap Savon Visage Tonique 
Tebe Lavish Soap Bar 
Vivtoria Sweden Egg White Facial Care Soap (LANOLIN-ÄGG-TVÅL)

6. WATER CLEANSER/CLEANSING WATER ( MICELLAIRE)

Description: It has watery liquid texture. The mechanics of attracting the dirt away from the face makes it interesting and makes removing the makeup so easy. Gone are the days when women have to tug on my skin to get rid of those eyeliner and waterproof mascara. Water cleanser doesn’t have the greasy feeling of oil cleanser.

Usage: Apply the liquid onto a cotton pad and place it for few second on the area with waterproof makeup. Then gentle swipe it off. Rinse the face with water or follow up by cleanser.

Tips: If you have expired micellar water or one that contains ingredients that break you out, soak your cushion puff in it overnight and your cushion puff will be very clean.  Oil cleanser never works to clean the puff enough for me.

REVIEW ON SWISS LINE CELL SHOCK OVERNIGHT “V” MASK

SCULPTING WITHOUT A SCALPEL 

500 years ago Leonardo Da Vinci commented that when drawing portraits, the facial shape was the most important indicator of youthful attractiveness. He favored the proportions of the V-shaped face, as seen in his renowned painting of the Mona Lisa. Da Vinci`s aesthetic preference has since been reinforced by researchers who have concluded that the v-shaped facial contours, typically seen on famous celebrities such as Kate Moss or Madonna, are the most beautiful.


Unfortunately, not all of us are lucky enough to have been born with the picture-perfect V-shaped jawline, and even if we were, aging can cause the skin to sag, giving the face the appearance of a broader base. But, no need to worry, Swiss line`s newest, highly innovative skincare product, Cell Shock Overnight “V” Mask, can help you rectify the situation. Comprised of the Sculpting Patch-Mask and Lifting Infusion-Mask, the two-part Overnight “V” Mask addresses facial architecture and volume like no other anti-aging product. It acts not only as a shape transforming facial mask, lifting the facial contours where needed and sculpting where puffiness or sagging has compromised the oval shape of the face, but also as a night cream. Welcome to the new era of facial architecture!

Swiss Line Cell Shock  Overnight “V” Mask

SWISS LINE`S NEWEST ADDITION TO THE CELL SHOCK COLLECTION 


Swiss line, a revolutionary, anti-aging Swiss skincare brand with both a consumer and professional range, combines a proud heritage in the field of cellular therapy, a paramedical approach to beauty and a penchant for innovation. The Overnight “V” Mask is the newest product to join the Cell Shock collection, a results-oriented, cellular skincare collection launched in 1995 to combat the visible signs of aging.

Swiss Line Cell Shock  Overnight “V” Mask

CELL SHOCK OVERNIGHT “V” MASK

As we all know, one`s facial shape, contours and proportions impact our perception of beauty. While you cannot alter your bone structure, unless you opt for invasive surgery, you can impact the shape of your face by sculpting the contours and lifting the skin with Swiss line`s Cell Shock Overnight “V” Mask, a two-part system including The Sculpting Patch-Mask and Lifting Infusion-Mask.

From the left: The Sculpting Patch-Mask and Lifting Infusion-Mask

1. SCULPTING PATCH-MASK


Formulated to drain and “slim” the facial contour areas, the roll-on, amber-colored Sculpting Patch-Mask is easily applied as you gently roll the applicator along the jaw line and under-chin areas.

KEY ACTIVES : 

Cellactel 2 Complex, Swiss line’s signature ingredient, maximizes cellular turnover.

V-Slimming Complex: This powerful toning and slimming complex, comprised of two synergistic botanical extracts: gingko (Gingko biloba) and butcher broom (Ruscus aculeatus), activates microcirculation, helps stimulate tissue oxygenation and fight free-radicals, soothes the skin, and drains it to fight water retention.

Swiss Snow Algae extract: This rejuvenating and protective active ingredient utilizes the latest anti-aging strategy of caloric restriction. Various studies have established a link between lower calorie intake and lifespan extension. By mimicking the effects of a “diet” on the skin, the extract of Swiss snow algae offers the benefits without the discomfort! This extract activates the longevity gene, klotho, and thus increases antioxidant defenses and cell repair.

Collagen Chrono-Protector The point of this polypeptide system is to preserve the integrity of collagen fibers by limiting the degree to which they become rigid. This is due to an anti-glycation effect that in turn preserves the elasticity and compactness of the tissues along the jaw line and under the chin. 

2. LIFTING INFUSION MASK

Acting like a “second-skin,” the Lifting Infusion Mask delivers facial transforming benefits throughout the night.

KEY ACTIVES

Cellactel 2 Complex, Swiss line’s signature ingredient, maximizes cellular turnover.

Cell Longevity Booster Slowing down the expression of the senescence factors and limiting dermal degeneration, the Cell Longevity Booster has been shown to favor the synthesis of SIRT-1 proteins, involved in cell longevity. It operates on a molecular level, effectively reducing the total number, surface, and length of wrinkles.

Oligo Catalyst Complex Uniquely designed to respond to the nutritional needs of overtired, stressed skin, the Oligo-Catalyst Complex has the ability to stimulate cellular metabolism, boost the synthesis of intracellular ATP, and increase cell growth. It is an optimized association between a physiological vector (“transporter”) and molecules of sodium, magnesium, zinc and manganese.

Hyaluron-Skin Film Comprised of sodium hyaluronate and liquid crystals, this film helps preserve the most important characteristics of youthful, healthy skin, such as suppleness, elasticity and tone. The multi-layer liquid crystals network, which is formed around each oil droplet, replicates the structure of the human skin and contains similar components, including phospholipids, fatty acids and triglycerides.

APPLICATION TIPS:
The Overnight “V” Mask may be applied two to three times per week, or for an intensive cure it can be used every night for as long as needed.  Cleanse and tone the skin as usual, and then follow with serums and/or ampoules, eye care and neck care.


1. Use the Sculpting Patch-Mask roll-on applicator to dispense the product along the jaw line and under-chin areas, while applying gentle pressure to the tube. Only a small amount of the product is needed as the gel forms a “patch”. Smooth the gel with the fingertips as needed to even-out the application.

2. Apply the Lifting Infusion-Mask over the entire face, neck and décolleté. When removing the mask from the jar use circular movements with your finger so as to “melt” and activate the “second-skin” film texture, making the application of the mask even more enjoyable. 

The Overnight “V” Mask belongs to a new generation of masks which work while you sleep… it should not be tissued-off or rinsed-off like a common mask.

If you feel the need to apply your usual night cream on top of the mask you can do it, but this should only be done in the case of very dry skin conditions.

I know many have already underwent some sort of surgery to get the V shaped face but I don't have the gut nor the money to undergo such kind of procedure.  Jaw line trimming is one of the TOP 10 most dangerous procedures in the world.  Now that I going to be 30 years old soon, I am getting worried about my sagging face and fine lines because that is sure not something that I don't think any women would be proud of parading it to anyone.  I was extremely ecstatic when I got this and can't wait to share the result with beloved readers.

Swiss Line Cell Shock  Overnight “V” Mask

Swiss Line Cell Shock  Overnight “V” Mask

 Here is the list of ingredients.
I noticed that there is Arginine which is a critical building block of skin collagen and hair keratin, synthetic versions of this wound-healing amino acid are found in anti-aging topicals.  This is super good for my skin!

Swiss Line Cell Shock  Overnight “V” Mask

 The products need to be finished within 6 months.

The Sculpting Patch-Mask has amber like liquid in tube.

The Sculpting Patch-Mask

 There is the ON and OFF which you need to turn (anti clockwise / turn to the right) when you are going to use it. You can hear two clicks.

One only needs a small amount of the sculpting patch mask. Press enough amount and apply on the jaw line using the roller.  The scent is nice but since you only apply it on the jaw, you won't be able to detect any scent at all. The sculpting patch goes on the jaw line without feeling heavy at all.  In fact, I can't even detect the anything but it is there helping to lift the jaw line without the discomfort.

Swiss Line Cell Shock  Overnight “V” Mask Lifting Infusion-Mask

Lifting Infusion-Mask is in an elegant frosted jar because we need to activate it by using the heat from the fingers.  Love the packaging as the golden mirror alike which doesn't fade and remains in the same beautiful state shows how much of effort are put into their packaging and their effectiveness of the products.  The frosted glass also feels heavy and luxurious. The soft light cream has a heavenly soothing relaxing scent  that lulls me to sleep.  Every session with the lifting infusion mask just makes my heart flutters =) .


After using it for a month, my face feels more lifted and there is this beautiful glow on my face.  Even many were asking what I am using because my face has a healthy glow but it is not oil.  My skin is also soft to the touch.  I am really pleased with the results and of course can't wait for the launch soon.



Here is the results after using it for a month.

Swiss Line Cell Shock  Overnight “V” Mask

Can you see the glow?  My face is not oily and I already bloat all the oil away so what you see here is really my skin. =)

FOOD: CHINESE NEW YEAR TRADITIONAL NIAN GAO

Hi beauties,

I know Chinese New Year is very near and even my family is making preparation to celebrate it and this involved making a lot of cookies and food.  One thing I always look forwards during New Year is food because I get to eat many kind of traditional food.  One of it this Nian Gao. It means New Year cakes.

This is sure a heavenly made New Year cake that I only get to see once a year making the suffering long wait really worth it.

Nian Gao

It is called Nian Gao in Mandarin, Kuih Bakul in Malay, Ti Kueh in Hokkien.  I don't know what it is called in Cantonese.

Nian Gao

The real traditional one has the banana leaves wrapped around it.  I don't like the plastic one because it taste far away from the real Nian Gao.  It is already hard to find now knowing the effort and time to make it is really long.

The ingredients are simple and it is actually white in colour before cooking.  So, if it doesn't turn red brown, then you have failed in making the Nian Gao.  It is not an auspicious sign if that happens and the reason why many prefer to leave it to the expert.  A real Nian Gao can last months without changes in taste or cause food poisoning.  I personally have eaten one which was already one year and it tasted so GOOOOD.  It taste really good sandwich in between yam and sweet potatoes.  The melting of the caramel Nian Gao can rival some chocolate lava cake or praline chocolates.  The taste is just superb provided one know how to cook it right.  Done wrongly, you will lumps of inedible burnt Nian Gao which is such a waste.

The Nian Gao comes from an incident done during a war.  The family made a wall full of Nian Gao bricks.  Since it is a wall, no one would think that it is something edible.  Years passed and family were run out of food supplies since there was a war.  One of the family members  suggested that they eat the 'brick'.  They cut away the outer layer of the bricks and just steamed them.  No one dares to eat it at first but once they ate it , the taste was so good that they decided to share it with the neighbours.  The name came because it was New Year and they have that as their food.

Now, it has become a traditional food for the Chinese community and eaten during New Year.  I love it very much. Did I say how much I love it again?

So yummy that I wonder why I have to suffer so long and yet only get to eat a few each year?  Too many Dinosaurs at home and I eat slower than all those Dinosaurs




Do love Nian Gao or do you have traditional food that you like too?

FOOD:CHINESE NEW YEAR PEANUT COOKIES RECIPE

Hi beauties!

Just want to share with you what I bake for Chinese New Year and before chinese new year, it has already goes down into my stomach.

Peanut cookies are one of my favourites cookies but too bad I can't eat them too much or my skin has to suffer the consequences later.  For those having acne prone skin, better avoid eating too much peanuts.  It is actually cheaper if you make it yourselves and generally it is cheaper than you buy outside.

FOOD:CHINESE NEW YEAR PEANUT COOKIES RECIPE

So here is the cookies.  Does it look delicious? I used the straw to make the pattern.

Here is the recipe:

Ingredients:
200g blended peanuts
150g icing sugar
150g vegetables oil
200g flour (Blue key brand if your are in Malaysia)
a pinch of salt


Steps:
1. Pour all the blended peanuts, sugar, oil and flour into a bowl and just mix together.
2. Then just mold it into a round shape.
3. Glaze with with egg yolk for a nicer colour.  I don't use it because am afraid I will burnt it.
3. Put in the oven and cooked it at 180 celcius for 15minutes.


*I am using a medium Khind toaster oven so if you may need to change the temperature and time according to your oven.


So it is really easy to make it right?  Why not try it yourselves at home?

SKINCARE VIEWS: WHY SHOULD YOU SPEND MORE ON SKINCARE THAN MAKEUP?

Hi beauties,

I wanted to write about this for some time. Since I have the time now, it would be better for me to share my views.

Depending on people, some people prefer to spend on skincare products for a smooth canvas for their makeup while some prefer to use makeup to cover up all their skin problems. Most people think that having makeup is important but it is not an excuse to neglect the skincare part.

Here is my opinion on why it is important to invest in a proper skincare routine and really put effort into choosing skincare products rather than getting the latest limited edition cosmetics.


You do not want to scare the daylight out of the husband or boyfriend-I think some might think that the husband might not mind it but most men want to see girl's bare face. The huge differences can scare men away and the reason why some men like to say 'natural beauty'.

Neglecting your skincare can age your skin- I mean who wants to look older than their real age? Using a lot of makeup and not bothering about skincare can lead to clogged pores, pigmentation, acne and wrinkles in the long run. Of course makeup can temporarily cover that problem but it won’t help the skin in the long run so there is a need to use different targeted products to help combat the sign or aging and other skin problems. Even makeup can’t cover up wrinkles.

Skincare can save you lot of money- Using the proper skincare products can save you a lot of money, time and tears in the long run. You won’t be having low confidence, having to try so many products and to pay a lot of money to ‘fix’ your skin problem. At least you would feel happier looking into the mirror without those wrinkles or acne staring right at your face.



Makeup is to enhance your looks not cover everything- Makeup is not to cover all the flaws but it is suppose to enhance the features so having a good skin makes most makeup products work easier on your skin. It is also very much easier to choose products on less troublesome skin than to use so many concealer and whole lot of other products to cover oozing acne skin.



So overall, I think investing in using proper skincare products is more important than buying lots of makeup product because to tell you the truth I am just one lazy bum and rather go out bare face than having to put on layers of foundation before I am able to go out. It is always best to start having a proper skincare routine before problems start to arise. Most people start using makeup early but then do not have a proper skincare routine thus the skin problems later.

It does not mean using the whole lot of 20 products but a simple skincare routine such as cleanser, moisturizer, serum and sunblock are really important to save the trouble later in life. You could read Here on how to get flawless skin.

VIEWS: STRANGE FOOD FOR BEAUTY

After watching this Korean beauty show about exotic food for beauty, I was inspired and decided to discuss the kind of food Asians or in my country people actually eat for beauty.

I mean it would be interesting to show what kind of food that people here eat and some always swear that is the secret to their flawless beauty. Please take it with a pinch of salt because I personally tried many of it and truth to say eating that alone without using skincare products or healthy lifestyle is sure not going to make your skin flawless.

1. chicken butt
I am sure where this comes from but many people swear by eating the chicken butt, one face can be flawless and smooth.  I don't know but the friend who told me about eating the chicken butt has super soft and smooth skin.  She said she only use water to wash her face???? Okay. I tried it and it didn't work on me. It only helped to increase the size of boobs and my waist too!  Lucky the effect was temporary because I sure do not want increase in waist line.  I don't know where goes wrong but I heard there is a method to eat the chicken butt to get the best out of it.

2. chillies

This is my mum's" method" of having flawless skin.  To her, the spicier the chillies the better.  Her theory is the chillies kills all the acne bacteria.  She can't eat her rice without chillies in soya sauce everyday.  Her skin doesn't have such problem like I do.  Too bad, I just can't stand her level of spiciness and maybe that is the reason my skin is having the acne problem.  I don't know if it is true but my family members who love spicy food don't have such problem except me. I can't help but break out in sweat every time I have to dip my meals with spicy curry.  Not to mentioned my lips swell in size which is not a good thing to look at.

3. sea horse soup
Sea horse is to said having a lot of collagen and cleanses the blood well which leads to making one's  skin flawless.  Personally, I think it didn't help much because I was just relying on it alone and it was cruel of me to drink such cute creatures up. =(  I mean I personally feel that way but you can try if you really want. I since stop eating or drinking such thing already.


4. Sting ray
This is one of the Korean exotic food for beauty which they happens to eat it fresh. It smells like toilet or ammonia so can't be eating it in 'sashimi' form.  I rather throw it away! Here, it is common for people to eat it in form of "asam pedas" meaning cooked in lots of chillies and Garcinia atroviridis to get rid of that stinky smell.  I don't know about the effect on skin but it is good for those who likes sour and spiciness.



5. chicken feet

This is also my favourite and I think it is common for people to eat it here.  Some people cook in soup but Chinese will cook it black making it has the dark brown colour.  It taste like chicken wings but of course with a lot of bones.  There is the collagen in there and it is good for the skin since there is no fats at all in the chicken feet.  Well, collagen minus the fat right!  Double good for the skin!


6. Sharks
No, not shark fins.  It is cruel to just eat the shark fins.  We decided to eat the whole shark into the stomach.   It is not easy to clean the black colour shark and the whole house will stink of fish.  It is said to cleanses the blood and the skin from toxic.  I am not sure how true it is but it taste good to me. I like it with lots of dry chillies and onions.  It is not the same shark as the one people eat for shark fins and by the way, I don't eat shark fins.

7. Pig trotter 
*non-halal* (not for the muslims)   .  Many non muslims eat it because it contains high level of collagen.  Expensive though to eat it weekly.  The amount of time and the effort to cook it are also enormous which makes it becomes a rare thing.  Usually the one cooked in black vinegar, black beans and ginger.



So, what do you think?  Is there any food that people in your countries eat for beauty?

PART 3 : HALAL FOOD &NON HALAL(CAN GET LIQUOR HERE)

I put up a few places for the choices of food here if you are coming to Tioman Island because Mersing is the station to Tioman Island and sorry to say that there is not much choices especially if you are looking for liquor such as beers or even halal food.

Here is the non-halal one where you can get beers and pork.

MERSING SEAFOOD RESTAURANT- a affordable Chinese restaurant that you can order beer.  It is always full on weekends or when there are tourist from Singapore. Quality wise is not bad.

EE LO RESTAURANT 一而海鲜烧腊饭店- this is another restaurant that I do visit for their food but the time to wait for food is quite slow.  So, there early by 30minutes or else you will have to wait long for food. Price is not that expensive but higher a bit than Mersing Seafood restaurant. The lady boss can understand English so no problem in communication.

Here is the halal ones which means no pork or beers.

AL-ARIP RESTAURANT- This one is located opposite the Giant and serves Mamak food.  Service is quite slow but food is not bad.

SYED ALI RESTAURANT- This restaurant is always full with people and patronised by Malays and Indians for their mamak food.  Looks clean but not much choice

RESTORAN AL-HAMID MERSING- Their cendol is really nice but too bad the boss is lazy making that the restaurant isn't hygienic enough. Hard to communicate with the workers too as they are generally not local and so can't understand even Bahasa Melayu nevermind English.

XIANG GUO- This is a cake house next to Ee Lo but there is no beer or pork.  They sell mostly cakes and bread.  There is some other food but generally the price is high and portion is small so if you are looking for local food this is not a recommend place.  It is fully air conditioned.

VALENTINE GIFT IDEAS AND THE TOP WORST GIFTS

Hi gorgeous,

Sorry, I couldn’t update this blog space as much as I want because am having serious writer’s block. My brain is already clogged up and I couldn’t think of anything else to write. I could just sit in front of the laptop and stare into the space because I don't know what else to write. So, to you reader out there, could you let me know if there is anything you would like to know from me? Just leave me a comment or pm me at my facebook. It would be easier for me to come up with a post later.






While I think Valentine Day is probably a day where couples get together while singles stay at home because we couldn’t stand the sight of being reminded that nobody wants us, I think it is a great idea to exchange gifts with friends and here my thought about the gifts that you could give to friends.






Gifts idea

1. Body and bath gift sets. There are many types of brands out there so there are many choices. I think most people like receiving bath products as it practically and everyone use it?


2. Shopping vouchers. Hahaha, this is generally what people would gift so that they person could get what they want rather than making us choosing something they might not like.


3. A nice dinner. I mean it is the experience that most people will enjoy being in rather than the lavish gifts that one might not like.


4. Chocolates. This is one gift that most people would enjoy. Check if the person prefers milk or the dark chocolates as many only goes for the dark cocoa. You could also DIY it yourself or make one =) . Just make sure it is really tasty.


5. Gadgets/Tools- This is men’s favourite. From shaving tools, fishing rods, electronic games, smart phones or others electronics things There are so many to choose from and many love those it.

6. Wallet- I think many would find it useful and there are types of wallet ranging from expensive ones to affordable one. Many love it because it is practical and useful






Worst gift


I think generally many would not like to get this kind of gift. The list doesn’t follow any particular order


1. Photo frames. Usually people would buy it themselves if they want it.


2. Fashion accessories. Unless you are very sure of that person’s fashion sense, don’t get for them.


3. Shoes or clothes. It is hard to know their styles and to know their shoes fit. Some shoes don’t fit that well with certain feet build so you might buying the wrong one.


4. Things for display. I find many told me that they do not like getting unpractical things that are only for display purposes and they can’t do anything about it.


5. Cosmetics- If you do not know your friends’ like, skin types or preference, please try not to get this because if might just make her unhappy.








So, what other gifts or not so great gift that you have received?





How are you celebrating your Valentine this year?
