shoulder up~

hey all!


It's been on the runway for quite a while..the structured jacket or top that emphasizes the shoulder..i remembered once tyra banks quoted that her favourite fashion trend would be shoulder pads.I love how it automatically make u look stylish and smart and suprisingly it could be worn for a casual or glam up look..My favourite look would be wearing oversized shirt,skinny jeans and gladiator heels...pair with a jacket..and damn!that's hot!!!I have everything from jackets,cardigans,tops,lace tops that have accentuated shoulder pads..but i have a problem finding structured jacket/blazer in white...im dying to get one of those...for any of you out there who sells/knows where I could find one please share!pretty please!!...I think Balmain was one of the first who came out with this kind of stylish babies...so LOVE U u sexy thang!Fashionistas out there...please get one of these.....invest in a nice structured jacket as You can wear/pair it with any tops/jeans/pants/skirts/heels/flats etc...and ouh ouh i the best accesory to work this style is definitely the bib necklace..i don't know..It looks Fabulous!!!!

love,

sleeping beauty~

hey all..

oh my god.What is with me?I am so terrible at getting myself asleep at night.YES.I have been suffering sleeping disorder since the age of 15 and there's absolutely nothing I can do about it or at least get a proper sleep for more than 2 days.OK i know this post has NOTHING to do with fashion but it concerns beauty and well being plus I know a lot of people who can relate themselves to the problem I am having.The day before I slept at around 5 and I woke up at 8!Waking up early is not that hard for me but my main problem is i take long naps in the afternoon..I cannot help it.I just dozed off..and I end up staring at the ceiling for hours and hours at night.I just hate this because number 

1. I need to sleep early and get enough of it to get beautiful skin because everyone knows that skin revives itself when we go to sleep
2. I get cranky and tired when I don't get enough sleep
3. I feel that my day is wasted by taking naps in the afternoon/evening cause I feel that I can do much more
4. I really really need to adjust my sleeping pattern because im gonna start going back to school soon and I need plenty of sleep to really concentrate in class

And I think that the contributing factors that causes my sleeping disorder is

1. I do not have strong will
2. I take long naps
3. I drink tea(which contains caffeine) at night
4. I have so many things to do in my mind that sometimes I forget and only remember when Im tucked on my bed then..I cannot stop thinking about it
5. Im a very very very light sleeper.A slight noise,light or movement wakes me up and I just cannot go back to sleep.

What I plan to do about it

1. Work with myself to get a stronger will power and wake up earlier
2. Avoid naps..so friends and blog readers.Help me by requesting any kinds of topics and keep me busy and besties..please call me and harass me throughout the day so that I don"t go to sleep plus I would do activities away from my bed to avoid myself to have some zzzz time.
3. I will never stop enjoying my tea but I will restrict myself from drinking tea after 5pm.
4. From now on,I would get myself more post-its or any sort of reminders and write down whenever I think of doing something and finish everything before I go to bed
5. I cannot do anything much to help my "light sleep syndrome" but to just make sure my door is locked to avoid people especially my mum to come in and out,silent my phone,turn off every light,and get rid of any source of light like the beeping light from laptop etc..

I did some research on how to improve sleeping patterns so here goes

1. Set a condusive sleeping environment
   
2. Maintain consistent wake up and sleeping time
   
3. Stay away from sleep stealing stimulus
4. Exercise
5. Cool of your body temperature
6. Don't force yourself to sleep
7. Avoid naps

I would like to add one more thing..COMFY AND PRETTY NIGHTWEAR..

 LOVE

late night post~

hye darlings!!!
sorry for the late blogging ..It was really hectic today..first wake up very very early for appointment to dentist ..then found out I have to go through a mini surgery to remove my wisdom tooth...then to my personal doctor clinic to get medication (im allergic to penicillin and bacterium),then..i love this part...I WENT TO THE TAILOR TO MAKE BAJU RAYA!!!i know it's kinda early but my regular tailor gaved me warning that she won't do anymore tailoring till june!So i don't really have much time.Next,go to the bank to bank in my latest on9 purchase which i will blog about on maybe friday,then to the bank again to activate my on9 banking,then accompany my mum to bring her sick rabbit to the vet ...i think the female vet is in love with me cause she kept on asking my mum about me..then go to GIANT supermarket to get the cleanse tea for my dad(actually i've been secretly stealing his tea cause it works!!my tummy has never been this flat before...) next go home do some more on9 banking..take a nap..help my mum to update her facebook profile that took me SOOOO LOOONNGG ..then go and bake some bananas..made my mum go to sleep and talk and wish goodnight to my dear Hafiz..and now BLOG : ).SO what would be my topic today?hmm MAKE UP..yes make up..my favourite thing ever..ok so before i start..once my 2 dear friend that i love so much..zeng and clarissa..they gave me an idea..they want me to be the next Datuk Farah Khan..For those of you who don't know who she is..well she's great..she's got her own fashion boutique in KLCC and she brings in international designer items into Malaysia.Isn't that cool???ok so since Datuk Farah brought in stuffs like ensembles,shoes,bags etc I am trying to bring in International make up stuffs into Malaysia..My dream would be NARS!(since MAC is already in Malaysia)..But NARS wont be that easy so Im gonna start small first.Have you ever heard about a brand called Nyx?Ok it's a very affordable make up line from the United States(It's very very cheap there and when it reaches Malaysia it'll be more expensive but definitely cheaper than MAC) and I don't really think it's available in Malaysia as yet..but shipping is available.I found out about it when I saw a video on youtube by Juicystar07..She's a very very well known vlogger in the US where people actually pay her to go shopping and comment on their products: )well she tried the Nyx product and it works wonders on her. Iwill attach the link of that particular video for you guys to watch.I got excited and i ordered a few items to try..and i managed to get it shipped to Malaysia within 2 weeks.I am gonna try it and if i really really am confident with it I will start bringing more stuff in for YOU yes YOU guys!Do e-mail me or contact me on facebook if you are interested already : )

trip to the gym~

hey darlings,
aahhh what a day!i didnt go to the gym these past 2 days because im involved in my parent's company convo/annual dinner..so once it's over.."BACK TO WHERE YOU BELONG!"..SO ok i dragged myself there and do my usual 30 minutes running on the threadmill,30 minutes cycling and 30 minutes of weight lifting(i love it)..while doing my usual running suddenly i hear a woman shout..and when i turn..it's Alice the gym instuctor..she was being a commander ordering her slaves to go run on the treadmill with the speed of at least 8.5kmph...and i and the other hand  merely on speed 7.2kmph..and panting like a gorilla..aahh what a shame!So Alice's slaves is girls with really really tall slender body and they are wearing those skimpy gym exercise attire that i only DREAM to put on...their abs is perfect!how i wish i have a body like that and being able to wear what they are wearing and I AM VERY VERY SURE that i am not alone in this one.Plenty of girls like me feel a little bit insecure especially at the gym when hot gazelles running gracefully on the threadmill next to us.So what i am gonna do today is share exercise tips to get those hot bodies and come out with great idea on how to style yourself to the gym/park to exercise : )

Choose how you want your body to look like proceed to A or B
A.Beyonce (slim and slender but still have those junk in the trunk)
B.Britney Spears(slim,toned and muscular)

A.Beyonce's workout routine

• 5 days a week
• run 6 miles a day which is around 9.7km!
• 100 squats
• 100 lunges
• 100 step ups
• For upper body she will lift 5-pound weights while she listens to a song she likes. Or she will run around the track using 3-pound weights

B.Britney spears's workout routine

• run 120 minutes a day
• 5-20 minutes warm up
• 30 minutes of cardio
• Stretching and toning for 10 minutes

try doing one to three sets of eight to 12 repetitions of exercises such as:

• Leg extension
• Leg curl
• Seated row
• Chest press
• Bicep curl
• Tricep extension
• Shoulder press

 YES oh my god that is a lot but once u get into it you and i will be fine..since im a fan of junk in the trunk im gonna go for Beyonce's workout routine and and don't forget with proper diet...eat whatever you want but just remember....eat less calorie than calorie that u burn.Ok letS do it!

And after we get daa boddyyyy....now sexy hot exercise outfits..i find the ones from NIKE is fabulous!!

l

I love this kind of tops.Its very dry and breathable and not to mention very sexy..why not?show off your amazing abs..and pair it with

Yoga pants..very slimming and stretchable..or if you don't feel comfortable wearing pants you can always go with

running shorts...comfortable and very cute!rawwrrr.Not to forget the most important item is the running shoes..I always go for the light and feminine ones..i love purple so i would go for this

To look more fashionable..don't forget the fabulous gym bag and funky water bottles

For those gadget freaks get these too!

I JUST LOVE EVERYTHING!

Now one last thing..as we know it's not a very good idea to wear make up to the gym so I have come out with and idea on how to look pretty without make up..
before going to the gym wash your face thorougly pat dry and moisturise with tinted  moisturizer..i love the ones from THE NATURAL SOURCE..them put on tinted lip balm and sometimes I put a lil bit of creme blush on the apple of my cheeks for a healthy glow...tie up your hair in a high ponytail..AND YOU ARE DONE!!!Now GET YOUR ASSES TO THE GYM!

LOVE,
EZWANA EDDY

get beautiful happy~

HELLO again!!!!
ok im gonna put my beauty regimen on a step bt step basis..it's very basic like the ones you always read in magazines but yeah it's the same because IT IS THE CORRECT WAY!My beauty products is very affordable and you yes you can easily get it in pharmacies and even supermarkets..i am not i repeat i am not againts the well-known expensive beauty products like SKII,CLINIQUE,CD,ESTEE LAUDER etc...I absolutely adoree SKII..i have a friend..the famous ZENG ZHOU TAN..he's a sk11 boy and his skin is just...ANGELIC and GORGEOUS! I hate u zeng...anyways..skII is quite expensive and it's not my "time" yet...so here goes!

• ALWAYS ALWAYS and ALWAYS remove your make up first.I know some people who just wash their faces without removing last traces of make up...that is not cool!we don't want any clog pores that causes breakouts right.Yes i understand it is not easy especially with waterproof make up but hey..beauty is pain pain is beauty..so..the best way is to use oil based make up remover..I use Maybelline's make up remover for eyes and lips.It removes make up easily but leaves your skin a lil bit oily but that's ok since we're gonna cleanse the face anyways...BUT!if you don't like this try using non waterproof make up and just remove with a cleansing wipes..the ones from SIMPLE is very good.

•  Step 2 is cleansing..It's always good to use a cleanser that suits your skin.I have normal to combination skin so choosing a cleanser is not really hard for me.I love using olay product so i just opt for the cleanser.It has this very fine microbeads that gently removes dead skin cell.SO I dont really have to scrub my face that often.(over scrubbing causes my skin to be very dry)

• Next step will be steaming....I love this because I've always suffered from blocked nose...and this method helps clear my nose as well..what you do is fill in hot boiled water in a big bowl..i love adding lemon juice into the bowl i don't know ..for aromatheraphy purpose?them drape a towel over your head and just let the steam penetrates into your face for at least 5 minutes.This will open up your pores for a more thorough cleansing : )
• Moving on....time to scrub scrub scrub..what i love to do is i get into the hot shower(with steam) and start scrubbing my face using FREEMAN'S facial creamy apricot scrub(in the pink tube).After around 3 minutes of scrubbing  rinse with lukewarm water and INSTANTLY smooth supple skin : )
• THE MASK!yes again use a mask that suits your face.I don't know about you guys but my face changes its state from normal to dry and sometimes from normal to oily.How I know?

1. well when my face is dry..my skin feels tight and itchy after cleansing and won't absorb foundation around my cheek area.SO,when this happen,i turn too FREEMAN'S facial enzyme mask in pineapple(in yellow tube) to restore radiant skin!try it!it works like wonder.
2. when my face goes oily i can see blackheads on the tip of my nose and the my nose area starts to not absorb foundation..so my saviour would be FREEMAN'S facial clay mask in avocado and oatmeal to purge pores and smoothens skin..i share this with alllll my girlfriends : )

•  Blackheads....don't u just hate it....have you ever talked to a person(or even yourself) with blackheads and could not resist picking on it.well i do.But apparently that's bad..only do it with sterilized blackhead remover and clean hands.I don't really like the idea on doing it so i turned to this one product that helps remove blackheads.INTELLIGE' sebum quick up and sebum remover mask by KOSE'.It works man!first apply the sebum quick up then the mask after 15 minutes..remove and voila!

• Last but not least,something i cannot live without is moisturizer.This is very important for your skin.I've always and will always love olay face cream.This is the only face cream that does not cause my skin to breakout and it's a wonderful make up base too!I have used this since the age of 15 and  it has been 8 years..Nothing to complain about : ).Ouh one more thing please use separate creams for day and night.Both has different ways to nourish your skin.As for the day cream ..it has UV protection and at the same time brightens your skin.I always use this as a face cream and make up base.The night cream on the other hand moisturizes and has revitalising properties and really helps when you are having your beauty sleep.Trust me after using this for only 2 weeks you will see the difference : )

  So that's about it.Very simple right.It's not that bad...and plus it'll save your money on frequent trips to go do facial : )Enjoy and feel free to drop in comments or questions : )
p/s:sorry for the bad quality images
