If you ever get into my car, you will hear me apologizing the minute you get in all the way till we reach the destination. That is because my choice of music genre is not everyone’s cup of tea. Well, not everyone’s cup of tea to be precise.  I was friends with Slyde of Poetic Ammo back then (he has since formed Dragon Red) since I was 14. I remember I asked him about rap music, as he’s a rapper who had won several music awards ICYMI. He told me about a genre called black rap. It’s a rap that swears from top to bottom lol. I find it amusing but I could never understand a word. Then I found the music genre that I like, and that is hip hop as well as R&B.

When Clozette approached me for my playlist. I panicked. How do I put out my playlist when there’s too many mention of F, P, D, C and so on? Lucky for me, I have another playlist which consists of songs I listen to when I run. Funny enough, I run with more mellow songs. Chill R&B as I called it. Some songs are not even R&B at all. They’re just songs I discovered on Spotify and I totally love it. I bet you wouldn’t have figure out that I like Frank Sinatra’s Witchcraft, eh?

Go on, find out what’s my playlist and read all about it at Clozette! It’s a rather different feature than beauty and fitness that you girls know me of

A few days ago Sabrina B from Malay Mail asked if she could interview me for her special report on selfies. She said it is one of my forte. And I’m like…me? Selfie? My forte? *shock face*. It has been a while since I appeared in any media coverage . Today, I am on Malay Mail page 7! A half page mention with a full blown photo of me doing the jumping-for-joy shot. Ohhh that is what they called, eh? It is a part of Malay Mail Special Report: Dying For Selfies.

I started beauty blogging purely for my love for beauty and being someone vocal I could not keep all the excitement to myself so I started Street Love. I did not have the intention to put my face out as much as it is now. A year ago if you notice, you hardly or almost never see my face in my blog or on my Instagram. Even if I go out to events or any readers meet up, most people don’t know me until I introduced myself. A year later, which is now, all you see is my face LOL. I have jumped into the selfie bandwagon but I always like the idea of creating conceptualized type of selfie. Funny or interesting one I would say.

So don’t get bored with my running selfie ya. It took a lot of effort to get the right (non-blurry) shot

Sometime end of January, I was approached by CompareHero.my, a financial comparison website in Malaysia on contributing my thoughts to their upcoming Valentine’s Day article. Now, usually I do not do this but this time round I agreed with no promises as I wanted to see the questions in advance. You know, just in case I have agreed and I was not able to answer the questions properly? lol

So the article was out a few days ago

I could not copy the whole article into this post although I wanted to as I would be deemed as plagiarizing. Here is a snippet of a quote from me. It is interesting how they quote me throughout the whole article. Love it!

You may read the whole article including other blogger’s contribution to the feature at this link. Enjoy!

Happy Valentine’s Day to all Street Lovers!

Remember the review I did for DHC Deep Cleansing Oil and DHC Mild Soap back in July 2013? The story on how this mini appearance in the product booklet begin when I met up with the brand people from Watsons (exclusive retailer for DHC in Malaysia), where she handed me a bottle of Deep Cleansing Oil and a bar of Mild Soap to try and for review. Then came a small request to provide a testimonial for their upcoming DHC Double Cleansing Essentials Booklet.

It was a rush project. Initially the brand people requested for one liner testimonial but she also told me I can do a longer one if I wanted to. Being a thorough product reviewer all these while, you bet I gave her a longer testimonial

I have forgotten about this project until last month, where I was browsing inside Watsons and I tried searching for a DHC booklet just to check if it’s out. I was delighted to find two copies left on the booklet stand. I took one, flip directly at the back page and voilà! I saw me in it.

So, here’s the DHC Double Cleansing Essentials Booklet. Click on the picture to enlarge to read if you want to

It’s just a small feature but nonetheless nothing is too small for me. It turns out good although my testimonial is a bit lengthy among three. I actually think it’s too short for these two wonderful products! lol

Thank you Watsons Malaysia and DHC for the mini feature.
