Imagine seeing a human being, hanging by one hand on a precariously steep cliff, and down there is a long drop into a sea of spiky stones. That's how my relationship is, with my current only phone.

This phone I have now, it was my father's, bought at the dawn of 2014 and then passed to me somewhere in 2015. It has served the two of us well, and now more often than not it's showing signs of "please let me die, the world is too cruel". I'm talking about how it heats up real bad when I'm using certain apps (God why), how it crashed or hanged when I was doing something very urgent (again) and how unforgivably terrible the camera has been despite boasting 20.7MP that was good at the beginning. Maybe the phone has been through so much, maybe it's time for it to retire. 

A few days ago a little birdie came knocking, he told me that Huawei has something new. Something sleek, something extravagant, something powerful. I peeked into the virtual box, and I was stunned. They call this beast Honor 8. I feel the need to get it. 

As simple as it looks, Honor 8 is power packed. It houses a number of crucial elements of an excellent smartphone that everyone craves for and everyone would pay for. The adjective clean, sleek, sharp, fast and fabulous, Honor 8 owns them, and more. Allow me to show you 8 reasons to get an Honor 8, I promise the ride will be fun ;)

#1 It Runs Faster Than You Can Say The Word 'Processor'

Well that's what you can expect when the beast is powered by 2.3 GHz octa-core CPU and completed with its ideal counterpart a 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM. You can multitask peacefully, you can lower that lagging expectation when gaming, and I believe that with Honor 8 thing doesn't get hot too easily too! *cough* some phone heats up too fast *cough* but not Honor 8!

It's rapid smart file processing system is there to assist users for a smoother experience, making lagging phone a history of yesterday. The i5 co-processor and the Kirin 950 SoC chipset too does not sit prettily inside the phone for naught but it's there to enable maximum processing speed, response time and most importantly the battery life of Honor 8.

#2 Yeayy to Dual Camera

You know when people say 2 is better than 1? Here's a solid proof. Honor 8 is equipped with 12MP dual camera and that promises a better quality, crispier picture for your eyes to feast on. It does not matter if you are a photography enthusiast, avid Instagrammer, blogger, or none of the above, everyone deserve a smartphone with excellent camera and Honor 8 is the answer. With Honor 8, you can be a photographer in training if you dare to play with its Contrast, Depth and Laser focus modes while capturing your journey around the world. 

#3 The Future of Front Camera is Here

Honor 8 brings you a realistic looking selfie with its 8MP front camera. You can say goodbye to grainy selfies, you can march proudly in low-light conditions and still snap the best selfie with Honor 8 in your hand. If it's still not enough, Honor 8 brings you their Perfect Selfie Mode for an enhanced selfie quality ;) Hey, you asked for it!

#4 Bye Swipe, Hi Touch

Say you can unlock your phone in 0.4 seconds by a 3D fingerprint scanning, you can get it with Honor 8. Yeap it's THAT fast :) If you think the fingerprint scanner is only for unlocking Honor 8, here's a surprise. It does more than that. You can set it to open various apps of your choice with single press, double press or a long press, it's up to you.  

#5 Display Like A Dream

When the world is on your screen, you don't settle for less. Honor 8 embraces that, so it brings you a full HD display on its 5.2-inch screen that has 96% high colour Gamut. This means your eyes are seeing things with better contrast adjustment. Worry not about eye strain as Honor 8 is shielding you with their eye-care mode, where the blue light is filtered out to ensure you can safely and comfortably enjoy looking at the screen.  

#6 Battery Life - Worry Free Day 

It's painful when your phone battery drains so fast and you still have so much to do and the day is still so far from over! Wanna put those days in your memory box? Get an Honor 8. This beauty can stand up to 1.77 days for normal usage and 1.22 days for heavy usage, thanks to its 3,000mAh battery capacity. For a wanderlust backpacker like me, a phone that can have up to 10 hours offline video playing is all I need to accompany me during my bus, plane or train rides and hence why I am in the category of homo sapiens that need an Honor 8 in my hands ^_^

#7 Charging on The Fast Lane

You plugged in your phone to charge, you leave it be for an hour to do some chores. When you come back to check on the battery, you found out that you actually forgot to switch on the plug #firstworldproblem. Get an Honor 8! Their in-house test has proved that Honor 8 can charge up to 47% battery within 30 minutes, and that's more than enough for someone who needs their phone charged fast. What if you only have 15 minutes to get ready but you need to be on the phone for a very important call exactly on the 16th minute? Well, Honor 8 can give you up to 2 hours phone call for a 10-minute charge. Fast enough?

#8 Smart is The New Beauty

Now here is my final hammer on why you must get an Honor 8. Look at the smart design, the sleek feeling to the phone with a sexy glass back and think about the smart decision you're making when you buy Honor 8 from Lazada. Honor 8 comes with 32GB and 64GB internal storage, priced at RM1699 and RM1899 respectively with 4 colours to choose from.

Don't forget that MyCyberSale is going on now until September 30th so grab this opportunity to get your Honor 8 now along with other items that have been sitting in your Lazada shopping cart and wishlist ^_^ It's time to bag them all home!

Assalamualaikum and hello readers! When it comes to caring for our feet, I believe that not everyone has the time to do so carefully every day, am I right? If I were to ask "how many of you scrubbed your feet every day and then slather it with lotion and wear socks every night before sleep, and wear a foot mask every weekend?" I bet I can easily count the number of raised hands :) 

In my teenage years which was before I hit my twenties, I used to have super rough heels as I never bothered to check on them. Being a growing up teenager, I had a very active lifestyle and I do sports especially running. Up until one day while I was sitting on my bed, reading a novel and I had a realisation to check on my feet. It was an ugly sight XD the problem with me is, I am super duper lazy to use the pumice stone to soften the rough skin on my heels. I did try to buy a tub of foot scrub and I ended up using it once before it was forgotten to expiry date. 

Now I am a working adult who is also struggling with her postgrad studies, joining runs and you tell me where can I find the spare time to even care for my feet? I walk at least 3 kilometres a day from house to the LRT station to the office and then back home, the same route again. If I were to wander off to the mall after work, the number of distance adds up. Do I use a pumice stone? No. Do I have foot scrub? I don't think so. Then how do I care for my feet after those painful distances I covered every day? Putting on lotion might be helpful but it does not 100% help with those hardened, cracked heels right?

Scholl surprised me with their innovation! Named as the Velvet Smooth Express Pedi, this is the upgraded version from the original one as it comes with diamond crystals to help soften rough skin better ^_^

This pink beauty comes with a cover that will make it safe to be put in a bag for travel, and it can also be safe should a kid or toddler managed to get it into their hands as the battery powered roller cannot hurt their delicate baby-skin. To switch it on/off is easy. If you see the metallic grey band that divides the pink handle and the white coloured head of the roller, that is where you switch it on and off by gently twisting it to the right or left. 

The roller is removable with just a press on the button by its side whenever you need to replace it or just for safety precaution. Scholl Velvet Smooth Express Pedi does not require any electrical plugs to be charged as it works simple enough with 4 AA batteries. When you first buy this Scholl Velvet Smooth Express Pedi, the package is already equipped with those four batteries as well so it's ready to be used! 

Close up view to the roller head, you're seeing the sparkles as those are the diamond crystals laced on the roller to make it extra coarse for better removal of dead skin cells on your feet. It will ensure that even the most hideous cracked heels can turn smooth with a routine usage of Scholl Velvet Smooth Express Pedi :)

Assalamualaikum and hello! 

Time really has passed very swiftly, isn't it? We are now approaching September and before we knew it, 2014 is going to end soon. For me, among the biggest changes I am experiencing now is the transition from full-time studying to working. Yes darlings, I have officially and successfully ended my three years journey of being a bachelor's degree student. Since I am not allowed by my overprotective parents to work in KL, I am in Melaka living with my family and doing part-time jobs now to earn some money (after I was lectured about lazing around at home). So yeah, I have been wearing makeup on my face every day to look 'more presentable' though my job does not require me to wear it at all (I'm just gonna admit that wearing makeup makes me feel a lot happier, hehe).
Well, wearing makeup every day definitely calls for extra care during cleansing my face as I do not want zits to pop out like they're the boss on my face, hehe! So thanks to Lazada Malaysia, I got the opportunity to try Po Bling Pore Sonic Cleanser and seriously, I am in love! I have always seen this Po Bling Pore Sonic Cleanser on the internet, especially on Instagram and also on Carousell but I never tried to get one because I have Olay Pro-X and I don't think my pocket can afford another hole. I am so glad when the parcel arrives, and I didn't wait another day to start using this Po Bling Pore Sonic Cleanser. So, let's get to know it, shall we?

So here is how the bottom of my Po Bling Pore Sonic Cleanser brush looks like. It is the same regardless the body colours of Po Bling Pore Sonic Cleanser. There is a triangular base, gold in color and stamped with the word pobling, made in korea, AAA battery, and the voltage. If you look at the picture below, that is how a Po Bling Pore Sonic Cleanser looks like when it is disassembled. Most of the parts are made of sturdy plastic. The brush bristles are synthetic and ultra soft ^-^ I personally feel that the brush is a tad unstable when put in its base so I don't really use the base. I take off the brush head to dry the bristles and I put the body in a horizontal position. To use the brush, I only need to press the power button once and the brush will vibrate. So I usually spend 1 minute brushing my face with a circular motion using this Po Bling Pore Sonic Cleanser after I remove my makeup with a cleansing wipe.  

Since I have used this Po Bling Pore Sonic Cleanser brush for more than 2 weeks already, I saw improvements on my skin condition and it makes me happy :) Firstly, this brush is not abrasive at all so my skin never experience any raw feeling, pain or redness. Secondly, my makeup is properly removed thanks to its super soft micro fine brushes as my pores definitely are not as clogged as before. How can I say that? Because I don't get many of those nasty pimple bumps anymore even though I now wear makeup every day. Thirdly, I can feel that my skin has become smoother and this may be due to the fact that the brush helps in mild exfoliation thus enhancing the effectiveness of skincare products I am using. Another thing that makes me happy is because my nose and forehead looks much clearer than before. People with congested pores and pimple scars will understand this, hehe!

All in all, I can recommend this Po Bling Pore Sonic Cleanser brush to you all because I have used this brush for more than 2 weeks, every night and the result is good. However I might say that I see this brush fits people with flawless skin and super sensitive skin better as you won't feel anything on your face while using it, so it wont hurt. Taking care of it is not a problem provided you have a suitable place to put the brush while not in use. The brush head should be replaced every 3 months or more, depending on the condition and how well you take care of your brush head and maintain its hygiene.
