Boycott Israel 2015 - Part 1

"Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one's weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart..." ~ Mahatma Gandhi

Hello readers,

It has been a while.

The world is an uproar. We all know the details. Sigh

I have been busy.

Anyways, I have found an awesome product to aid in your boycotting Israeli products effort. 

3 in 1 coffee hehehe. If you fancy coffee and malas nak pergi beli dekat coffee shop and nak a quick fix. I found Kopiko 3 in 1 Latte Mix.

I accidentally deleted my own pic so this is from google. What makes it awesome is the choco granules (top thingy you see in the pic above) which you sprinkle over the coffee and then slowly mix in. Absolutely yummy for a 3 in 1 mix.

And yes, it passes the Buycott test.

So there you go guys. A great alternative. Israel free. 

Download the 'Buycott' app on your android and iphone and lets get in on the BDS campaign. It works!

Have a good week ahead.

Much love from Airiel and I.

Peace and love to everyone.

Boycott Israel 2014 Part 5 - Support for LUSH Products

"I don't want to die without any scars" ~ Chuck Palahniuk

Hey guys,

I am sorry for the lack of updates. Things have been busy. 

I am trying out some new products from Lush. I first came across LUSH on my hols in UK and Europe.

They are simply awesome and have the catchiest names for their products.

I bought these items recently:-

They are like tablets you put between your teeth and then you brush. As a coffee drinker these are absolutely necessary I think. Aren't the names funky and awesome?

And when I checked them out on Buycott and BDS, I found that LUSH not only does NOT support Israel, it has made efforts to endorse a single in trying to raise awareness for the human rights violations committed in Palestine. Check out this piece of news on Electronic Intifada.

How nice is it to have a brand which is not only natural, but is also conscious of human rights and makes a stand in support of it?

I bought my LUSH products from Shop USA Mall since they are not yet available in Malaysia. If they are though, please drop me a line or email me.

You can also find LUSH products on Instagram at "lushbyaira" on a pre-order basis.

Much love from Airiel and I.

Peace and love to everyone.

Have a good weekend ahead.

My Stretch Mark Cream

Hello readers,

A reader has asked me what kind of stretch mark cream I use. During my pregnancy with Airiel, I used a variety, but mostly 2 brands

I realised this 2nd time around that I am allergic to Bio Oil, and when I use it I start getting red splodges on my skin that itches like mad.

So now I am using Pureen and it has worked like a charm so far.  Invest in these creams because those stretch marks are FUGLY babes!.

And I have checked both products and they seem to be Israel free. If anybody knows otherwise,  please let me know.

SKII

I promised that I would update you guys on how my skincare regime with SKII is working out so far...I have tried it for about a month I think. So here goes.


These are the list of products that I use:-

This is the cleanser. I used to use L'oreal cleanser (it was the red one) but SKII was way more suitable for me. It made my skin supple, but did not overdry it (I have very dry skin - I still remember Adis telling me in honors class dulu 'Iza, kulit dahi ko mengelupas lagi laaa....'hehe). 

This is the toner I use after cleasing. When I first used it (the first 2 weeks) it stung my skin quite a bit but now it is just cooling and refreshing. I also realise that my pores (I have quite an issue with big pores) are getting smaller! How lovely!!

This is the magic essence. The pitera that they say will stop the aging effects and all. To tell you the truth, the product smells quite a bit like yeast...so its a bit stinky when you put it on. But I tell you, I saw immediate effects after using this essence for 2 or 3 days. I have an uneven skin tone, and this evens out my skin tone almost immediately. 

This is my fave product from SKII at the moment, their new Aqua Physics line. It moisturizes my skin perfectly. No more dry skin for me!!! 

This is the loose powder I use. I use ZA compact powder which I love and which I do not plan to change. But I love how the loose powder provides a lovely, slightly shimmery effect on my skin.

I love the SKII products I am using and would recommend them definitely! Try their trial pack if you do not want to buy the huge 150 ml skincare bottles and products which only retails at RM99. I bought them a month ago and I still have not finished them! Lasts ehh?

Best of all, I get to dump the L'oreal products which apparently supports Israel! Sheeesh...Another step closer to boycotting products affliated with Israel.

PS - I am absolutely excited about Aries' upcoming project!! Good luck Aries! Wifey supports you all the way..!!!
