A trip to the dentist

I don't know why but I feel seeing the doctor is more nerve wrecking than seeing a dentist.

Have you felt so? Well, probably because if the dentist wanted to do something to your teeth, it is not as painful as a doctor doing something to your body, right? *laughs*

I mean how painful or scary can scaling, patching up a cavity or fixing a gum problem be? Rather than getting an injection at your arm, swallowing tons of medication due to fever or finding out that certain pain at your abdomen can be something big like cancer or what not! *touch wood*

So, I really feel going to the dentist have less pressure than going even for a check up at the doctor's. I mean the worst that can happen when you see a dentist is that your tooth cannot be saved and have to be pulled off. There's nothing life threatening about it!

I went to the dentist today after 3 years due to some cavity. It must be all those chocolates I have been eating lately LOL...Anyway, I found myself being very calm even when the doctor was doing whatever he was doing with my tooth =p

I was definitely calmer than I was 10 years ago. See, this dentist knows me way back. When I was around 9 or 10 years old, I had to pull some teeth to make way for my new teeth to come out. Back then, whenever I step foot in the dentist's room, I will start shivering and won't even open my mouth for the dentist to see *laughs* My mom had a hard time persuading me for the dentist to check my teeth.

After much bribes and much persuasion, I finally gave in. But there was once I threw a terrible tantrum, my mom had to bring me back because there are other patients and the dentist cannot 'layan' me for so long haha

So yes, after 10 years, I found out going to the dentist is not so scary after all *laughs* But of course, I don't intend to go to the dentist in the nearest future however un-painful or un-scary the experience may be =p

Products I swear by...

I'm definitely a girlish girl and you cannot find a more feminine girl other than me among my friends =p Yes, I do mix well with guys and I do sporty stuffs like jungle trekking but at the end of the day I'm still that girl who is so obsessed with PINK, it makes everyone crazy, prefers wearing dresses rather than t-shirt and trousers and loves shopping too much till being nicknamed 'shopaholic'...

So, naturally I would also love products that enhance my feminity, so to say *laughs* As the title suggests, I do have certain products I swear by and use very often...

Firstly, I so very love the perfumed body lotion by Calvin Klein called Euphoria blossom

Not only does it smell so nice, it makes your skin soft and supple. It's not patchy and not sticky at all! At the first application, the scent may seem quite strong but after awhile it will just be a hint of flower blossom smell lingering around your skin =)
Very recommended for girls who love scented lotion *smiles*

I cannot get enough of perfumed stuffs LOL I love perfumes...Sometimes when I'm sick of my own perfumes, I will sneak through my mom's closet to use hers =p I love varieties!

Among all the other different perfumes I have, the best one is Ralph Lauren. The perfume doesn't have a different name and it's named after the brand. The smell is a blend of fresh floral and fuits. It's not too strong and very light. It's just nice for a young lady =)

Of course I don't mix the body lotion and the perfume together or else people will be wondering whether did I just pour the whole bottle of perfume on myself LOL The smell will be too strong and instead will create a pungent smell *laughs*

Besides that, I also use Garnier Aqua Defence Essence..

This moisturiser is in a form of gel- it's what I like best! I dislike using moisturisers because others are in a form of cream and it feels sticky on my face. This one, however, does not and it work wonders. It's like putting a whole load of water on your face =)

Enriched with anti-oxidants, Fruit Waters and Vitamin E, it claims to build an invisible barrier on your skin which instantly replenishes moisture and repels external aggressions and free radicals. I was once badly sunburnt after coming back from a beach holiday and it cured my sunburnt after putting it as a night gel for only three days! It really replenishes your skin moisture and hydrates the skin well. 
The best part is that it's very affordable and won't cost more than RM20 in any shop =)


Lastly, I cannot live without my lip balm!!!!

Mentholatum lip ice lip balm is the best so far!! I've tried other brands and I found out lip ice's lip balms are NOT too moisturised and slippery where it can break easily. This lip balm is the perfect moisturiser for my lips. I always put it before I put lip gloss so that it'll last! Besides, it also acts as a sunscreen! Among all other flavours, I love lemon =)

Well, these are the products I really live by so far. No kidding!! I'm sure many of you out there who have certain products that you really stick to as well especially girls. We girls tend to have many products lingering round our rooms because we have so much features to take care of like our face, skin, eyes, lips, legs and the list goes on *laughs*

Black Swan Review

So I went to see Black Swan on Friday night at The Magnolia in Dallas. They only had one theater in the area showing the movie because it was only open in limited release this weekend. I had read some reviews of the movie that said it was to be a psychological thriller about Natalie Portman, who is cast as The Swan Queen in Swan Lake, and Mila Kunis who is trying to take her spot. When we arrived at the movie we about 15 minutes early we discovered everyone and their mom was at the theater. If you're planning to see it somewhere this weekend buy your tickets early and arrive early; trust me.

Anyway, during the opening credits my roommate recognized the name of the director, Darren Aronofsky, from his work on Requiem for a Dream and other utterly f*cked up movies. Excuse the language but there is honestly no other way to describe that movie. After she told me that's how she knew his name I knew I would be in for a wild ass ride with Black Swan. Regardless of my expectations I was in NO way prepared for that movie.

Grade- A! First let's start with whether or not I liked the movie, I did. It flowed nicely and in a very relevant way to the story that was being told. I am glad I went in knowing it was to be a psychological thriller because none of the other people I went to see the movie with did and it definitely left them a little bewildered. I definitely plan to see the movie again and that in and of itself says a lot about the movie. I believe The Dark Knight was the last movie I saw where I actually left the theater thinking "I MUST SEE THAT AGAIN!!" I just remember the whole time being so in awe of a movie entertaining me that much and of Heath Ledger's performance as the joker.

Natalie Portman- Speaking of performances, I usually try to avoid the whole "this person deserves an Oscar" spiel but MY GOD Natalie Portman deserves one! At the very least she deserves a nomination because her performance was SPECTACULAR. I have never been let down by a performance from her in the past but this was just completely different than anything I'd ever seen. The way she embodied that character was brilliant. It made me appreciate her as an actress even more. As a side note Mila Kunis and Barbara Hershey, who plays Portman's mother, definitely deserve some accolades for their portrayals as well. Brilliant casting with this movie. I now appreciate good casting so much more after the debacle that was/is The Twilight Saga. Although, that's neither here nor there. Ha!

Story- Great. I think the reason this story works so well is because when you get down to the core of it, it was a very simple plot. It helped all the psychological action and the performances from the cast shine through. Another testament to this movie, after watching it I now have a strong desire to go to the ballet! If I had to some up the plot in 3 words I would say surprising, random, and simple. It worked and not only that it was exactly what was needed to tell this story. It was a good kind of simple so the audience wasn't completely lost in all the madness that was surrounding them but at the same time you don't figure everything out in the first 10 minutes. That is a huge problem in movies nowadays and I can't stand it. Well, that and the fact that every other fing moving being made is in 3D! Again, that's neither here nor there. ;)

All in all it was a very good movie. It definitely made me think and it kept my attention which is hard to do. I can't wait to see it again and I recommend it to others. After all the INSANITY that was Inception I'm very reluctant to recommend movies or proclaim them "the best movie ever" because that's just SO subjective. I think a certain time of person/crowd will appreciate the brilliant concept/acting/directing of this movie and other won't get it or simply won't like it. I do think it's a movie worth checking out though! Below are a couple of pics from the movie. Hope yall have a great weekend and if Black Swan is playing in your area go see it before it becomes even more hyped!




Cupcakes&Kisses-B!

Wake Me When My Prince Arrives

Let's just say it was VERY hard to get up this morning.

Yesterday my roommate asked me if I'd ever had one of those weeks that you think will never end. Um, YES, I screamed! I think were both having that kind of week. The fact that it's Friday and we only have exactly two more weeks until our vacation is also not helping things much. This morning I actually snoozed my alarm and fell back asleep. The only reason I woke up is because I heard the door close when my roommate left. After dragging myself out of of bed I decided 16 oz Red Bull was the only way I was going to survive. I'm currently still sipping on that Red Bull and I can tell you these alleged wings it's supposed to give me have yet to arrive!

In other news, I've decided to go see Black Swan tonight. It's in limited release at one theater in Dallas and I'm very excited about it! I want to see it before everyone else does because I hate when things are over-hyped. I'd like to see it before the masses and form my own opinion on the movie. It's been getting a lot of good reviews and Natalie Portman can pretty much do no wrong in my book so I'm very excited about this! I read that they wanted Natalie to have some dance technique and have a dancer's body so she trained 8 hours a day for a year and actually lost 20 lbs. That's insane to me but very impressive. Irregardless, (Again, I know it's not a word I just love using it! Haha. Thanks again Mean Girls!) it should be fun times for all!


Here's a pic of her from the movie. LOVE!


Anyway I hope you all have a fabulous weekend! I'll recap my thoughts on Black Swan at some point tomorrow or Sunday! Enjoy your Friday and as always here's a little pretty to end the post! :)

Cupcakes&Kisses-Brittany!








I've included this pic again because I really want a dress along the lines of this for NYE! Where I will find one is beyond me.

The social network

The Social Network movie was fantastic if you're a facebook addict! And I'm sure many of you out there are addicts =p

It was a very intriguing story on how facebook came about- the origins and the creator. It was very informative...I mean all of us facebook without knowing actually who is the creator, how he created it and why, right?

We just use it because most of our friends or rather all of our friends are facebook-ing. But this show provides an insight on how it all came about. Mark Zuckerberg, the creator went through many ups and downs and a few law suits later turn out to become a successful entrepreneur that he is today(mostly because of us spending large amount of time on his website *laughs*)

I highly recommend this movie. It'll be a whole new world when you come out of the cinema knowing so much about the website you're so hooked at for the past years!
