Nice Thing Today!
So this is something new I've been working on. Finally I get to reveal it! YAYY! :D
I realized that I've been quite negative about life. But everyday, there's always something nice to see, do or something nice that has been done or spoken unto you. No matter how bad your day may go, there'll always be something nice that happens. And with that, I'd like to introduce to you, Nice Thing Today (NTT) *smile*
I would start by tweeting about what is something nice that has happened to each and every one of you. You can add to this via tweets, or comments onto my blog!
The reason why I am doing this, is because I think that it's really important for each and everyone of us to be grateful at the end of the day. No point ending the day, being angry or disappointment. There'll always be something for us to be happy about, regardless of how big or how small. :) I am looking forward to your responses and I look forward to us sharing our happiness!
The most important point to this, is that we should always be happy!
The NTT posts will be starting tonight! I will be posting your responses by tonight. :)

Announcement!
Hey guys!
I know it's been quite a while and I have yet to post up my Lush Review Part 2, but please wait for it!
Also, I would like to announce that I am currently on a break from making hauls, due to the lack of time (not to mention cash!). However, I will try and vlog as much as I can. I'm currently in the midst of working on some other new ideas. To try and be on the lookout for it!
As per usual, LOTS OF LOVE!

Lush Review: Part 1
Dear all,
I am currently in the midst of editing my haul video. Did some crying today, so my eyes are quite hurting from all the staring at the screen. Anyway, here's a written review on some of the things I got from Lush :) Kudos to the person who brought them back all the way from USA for me.
I am currently in the midst of editing my haul video. Did some crying today, so my eyes are quite hurting from all the staring at the screen. Anyway, here's a written review on some of the things I got from Lush :) Kudos to the person who brought them back all the way from USA for me.
These are called "Dragon's Egg" Bath Bombs. I happened to get 2 of them (costs USD$ 4.95 each). One of them got crushed in the process of "transporting them over". But, in actual fact, since I don't have a tub, I was planning to crush them anyway. But one of these bath bombs got salvaged. :) If you wanna see how these things look in real life, do check out my haul. Once it's uploaded, I will post a copy here as well! The smell is AMAZING! I totally adore the citrus-y smell that it emits. I took pieces of it and put them in a tiny pail of water. It turned the water soapy, milky and smelling like a farm of oranges and lemons and pineapples. Beautiful smell. I sorta used the water as very liquified soap. It was amazing. I love the milky feeling it had on my skin. But I made a bit too much, so I saved some for my mum to use! :) Hope she enjoyed it as much as I did!
The 2nd bath bomb I got is the "Twilight" Bath Bomb (I got 2, and each costs USD$ 4.95). I have yet to use this, but apparently, it would turn the water a dark pink with a mixture of blue, and the end product, dark purple colored water! :) The smell is more lavender-ish. Very nice smell. However, both bombs got crushed in the process of "transportation". :( But I got to see the inside of the bomb. There is a smaller circle inside that is blue in color. The outside is a light purple shade. Very sweet colors. Smells like a mixture of Lavender and Lime. I would have to try it out before I actually give it a verdict, but apparently, if you're tired, you should use this because it's supposed to help you sleep.
I also got 2 of these. These are called "Seanik" Shampoo Bar (costs USD$ 9.95 each, and buy one free one Shampoo Bar Tin cost USD$ 3.95 each). This is AMAZING beyond words. First of all, the color is awesome! For those of you who don't know, I LOVE BLUE! So this really made me smile! :) It doesn't really emit a very strong smell, but it does smell like the ocean. It's made of sea salt, and seaweed. I'm currently using one bar. It makes my hair smell like I just got out from the ocean! I totally love the after-effect. To be honest, it's not the prettiest thing to look at. It actually looks quite disgusting because of the odd pieces of seaweed. And when you wet it, it makes it look even more disgusting because you get these blue foams, and then you get soft oozing dark green seaweed on your hands. But after that, WOW! The smell is amazing, and it does make my hair feel like I just got out of the ocean :) Amazing stuff! I really pray for Lush to one day, open a flag store in KL. <3
The next thing I have for my hair, is the "Veganese" Conditioner. Only got one bottle (costs USD$ 26.95). This is a very very light conditioner. Unlike those from Pantene and all, they feel super heavy. I like that it smells a LOT like lemonade. The smell is more than enough to make me faint to the floor. I really adore the intense lemon smell that this product emits. It really works very well with my Seanik Shampoo. I've used this twice now, and the effect is amazing. Very well-produced and the best part? This entire product is VEGETARIAN (not that I'm a vegan!). So if you're some vegan who doesn't believe in using non-vegan products, this is the one for you. :)
The next product I got is this "9 to 5" Facial Cleansing Lotion (costs USD$ 17.95 each) and I got one bottle. So this is (as per the picture) made of almonds and orchid oil. It doesn't smell of either. Kinda smells a bit like the kiddie sunblock. But I was quite astonished. The product doesn't lather at all. So I presumed that it was just like a moisturizer? Yet, it says "cleansing". I was quite curious, so I googled "Cleansing Lotion". Apparently, you can just apply it, wait for 5-10 minutes, then do one of two things. One, wipe of the lotion using a wet cotton pad, or two, wash it off. So I did just that. My face feels a teeny bit moisturized after using this. Again, I've only used it twice, so I'm really not sure of the results just yet. But this is supposed to be good for "after make-up" :) Good for me as I have been using make-up quite recently!
Moving onto body products, I got a tub of "Rub Rub Rub" Shower Scrub (costs USD$ 17.95 each). This smells a bit like the Seanik Shampoo. Smells of the ocean, but feels totally like salt! What I did was during my shower, I took a small scoop and rubbed it all over me. As ticklish as it feels, after washing it off, my skin actually felt so smooth like you would never believe! This is one product that I'm really very happy about. The smell is just totally amazing, and the feeling of the product is just WOW! I would definitely recommend this to my friends who have yet to feel or touch anything from Lush. This feels so natural. Loving it!
I have yet to actually use this. This is called "The Joy of Jelly" Shower Jelly (costs USD$ 10.95 each). The description of this, is that it's supposed to be a joyful, sensual jelly for lovers. Supposed to be used on your partner and vice versa. LOL! But to be honest, I bought it because...... IT'S PURPLE! Hahaha! The other ones were blue and black. It's not that I don't like blue and black, but I don't really like black cherries and the blue one? I already had the blue scrub. So I got this in PURPLE! :D The color is so pretty and the smell, it kinda smells like blueberries, but it's not stated in the label. In fact, it's supposedly to be heavily concentrated with seaweed, jasmine and rose. Once again, since I have yet to use it, I can't review it, but I am amazed by the jelly-like substance and am looking forward to using it.
I know that this post is relatively long, but I am not done yet. Please be patient for Part 2. Look out for "Dream Cream" Body Lotion, "Wiccy Magic Muscles" Massage Bar, and "Shimmy Shimmy" Sparkle Bar. Coming up all in Lush Review Part 2!

FormSpring Question: Relationships!
I have a Formspring account and I was asked a "weird" question today. So the question was:
"If a guys cries in front of you, because you had hurt him, what does it mean?"
The reason why I think this question is weird is because, never ever have I considered myself good in relationships. In fact, I don't think I'm quite good at it. But then again, since I've been asked, I might as well answer it properly. But before I get sued or whatever:
DISCLAIMER: All thoughts poured out here are of my own opinions. It is based on personal experiences and no thorough research has been done on this issue. Therefore, do not hold on to my advises and then sue me later, ok? :P
So, back to the question. If you have hurt a guy somehow, and he cries? I can come up with a few reasons:
"If a guys cries in front of you, because you had hurt him, what does it mean?"
The reason why I think this question is weird is because, never ever have I considered myself good in relationships. In fact, I don't think I'm quite good at it. But then again, since I've been asked, I might as well answer it properly. But before I get sued or whatever:
DISCLAIMER: All thoughts poured out here are of my own opinions. It is based on personal experiences and no thorough research has been done on this issue. Therefore, do not hold on to my advises and then sue me later, ok? :P
So, back to the question. If you have hurt a guy somehow, and he cries? I can come up with a few reasons:
- He really is hurt. No explanation needed.
- He trusted you, and you broke his heart. This could only mean one thing, he will never trust you in the same way he ever did.
- He has lost all hope on you. Again, no explanation needed.
If it's the first option, there are certain things you can do to "brighten his day". The best thing is to take him on a date, like how he would to you. Just basically "manja" him, but don't overdo it. Just make him realize that you really care about him, and apologize a million times until he accepts it and forgets the whole thing. Secret? They will never forget what you did.
If it's the 2nd option, your relationship won't last very long. Because no relationship will last without trust. Trust is a HUGE part of your relationship. It takes a lot of work to trust someone, and sometimes, you may never ever trust someone. This goes to show that you're not with the right person yet. Or at least that's what I think.
If it's the 3rd option, again, your relationship wouldn't last. I mean, ask yourself. Why would a guy be with someone whom he has lost hope on? And I would agree with him.
Personally, the right way to feel about a guy, and a guy about a girl, should be that, "I can live just as happily as I can without him, I just choose not to".
Again, I am not a professional and I believe that everyone has their soulmate. Every one has to find the wrong person, to know that they've found the right one. This is my personal motto. Please do not hold on to every word I say and then sue me after that. The disclaimer is up there. READ IT!
I also believe that everyone deserves to be in love, and stay in love. SPREAD THE LOVE! <3

Question of The Day: Simple Pleasures!
Today's question by @motivationMY is:
"What is (are) your simple pleasure(s)?"
I thought about this for quite a bit. There are different kinds of "pleasure". I can sorta give my own definition of simple pleasures! There are simply too many for me to name but be patient! I really wish I could have all this at one go. Sigh. *dozes off into daydream land*
Food:
I believe my simple pleasures in terms of food are, anything cold/ice-blended from Starbucks, ice-cream/froyo, mash potatoes, Mcdonald's French Fries (drowned in salt and chili sauce), cheesecakes, and so much more! In terms of food, it's quite easy to please me. I eat a lot so in terms of food, I'm quite easy to please :)
Activities:
In terms of activities, only limited activities to me are considered "pleasurable" *wink*. For one, I really love dancing! NOT teaching, but dancing for myself. Learning, or even just freestyle, can make me very happy! I also enjoy shopping. Shopping, to me, somehow is very very therapeutic. Ok, the after-effect isn't that good when I've realized how much I have spent when I'm at the counter, but the process of it is just amazing. Sigh. If only money was available in an endless barrel for me to pick up from!!! *dozes off into dreamland... AGAIN!* I miss the times when I could shop and shop and shop. Yes, at one point I could do just that. But then, age sinks in. You'd have to pay for super a lot of bills, and then, support your meal-fetish (yes, I have a fetish for comfort food, which can be expensive!), followed by a lifetime of Starbucks (which is super not cheap!), and just so many more things which I have to pay for. OH.MY.GOSH! It has come to my attention that I have really been spending a lot lately. :P Very very bad! Please do not follow my actions! I'm a well-acclaimed shopaholic! It's very tiring to calculate spendings and stuff, so I would suggest that you get an iPhone, and get a budgeting app. I tried it, and it failed miserably 'cos regardless of the warnings that I was off-budget, I'd still eat and buy my stuff anyway. HAHA! Hmm. What else do I do? I enjoy playing Starcraft2!
I have an entire story about SC2 so please bear with me for a while, aite? :)
Well, I learnt about SC2 when it first came out. My boyfriend's brothers and himself plays a lot of this and they each got a copy of it so that they could play this. So I watched them playing a few games. But I didn't really think about playing it. In fact I actually thought that playing SC2 was taking up a lot of his time. To be honest, initially, I thought it was like Counter Strike (which I despise, to be honest! Don't ask me why, I just do!). But one day, he was taking a shower if I'm not mistaken, and I got really bored, so I took out his laptop, and started fiddling around. Obviously his SC2 was still open, and I clicked the "video" logo, which actually shows replays. So I watched a few of that, and it got me hooked! I was interested as I could read the typed-out conversation happening between him and his alies, while they were fighting with their opponents. It was interesting to see how they could combat the rest. They were using a certain type of army to combat another type of army. SC2 has 3 races which you can play. Terran (human), Zerg (an alien-lifeforce, kinda bacteria-like), and Protoss (an alien-lifeforce, kinda technology type). When I found out all these, my intrigue got the better of me, and when my boyfriend got out of the shower, I asked him if he could teach me how to play. He can play all races, but is more proficient in Terran. So he taught me how to play Terran. Since then, I've been playing Terran.
Unlike others, I learned how to play the game, as a Terran, step-by-step. I played the entire mission, which is a story-like mission and you basically get to learn how to play as Terran and Protoss from there. So I still consider myself a newbie, and I kinda suck because my APM (Action-Per-Minute) is super low, but I'm learning and catching up. I'm currently in the Bronze League, like number 100+++ for 1v1s. I haven't been playing in quite a while and I hope to play more with the boyfriend when he gets back. The reason why I don't play is because your internet has to be super stable when you're playing. For me, the only place where I can get super stable, unlaggy internet is at the studio. Usually, when I'm at the studio, I'm either teaching or dancing. So there really isn't much time for me to play. But thanks to the boyfriend, I've found SOOOOO MANY people I can learn from. I'm crazy over Day9 because he really inspires me as a newbie, and especially Adam and Jeff of LAGtv. Adam (NovaWar) and Jeff (MaximusBlack) are FUNNY as heck! They really make games so much more fun! Although it's meant to be funny (especially their series of When Cheese Fails and Say Cheese with MaximusBlack!), they make certain points of certain mistakes which you will learn to take note of. They are really hilarious and all, but there's always a lesson behind every WCF. You either learn it or you don't. Your choice.
So yeah. That's how I got to love SC2 and regardless of what people say, I'm a girl and I love StarCraft 2 and I'm super proud of it :) So I enjoy watching YouTube videos about StarCraft 2 and playing SC2. I find it quite therapeutic as well. I don't intend to be a pro-gamer, so there's really no stress in me climbing the ladder. My boyfriend, however, has every intention of climbing the ladder and I wish him all the best!
I also enjoy watching YouTube haul videos, or make-up tutorials. I find that relatively therapeutic as well, since I myself make haul videos (speaking of which, find my Diva Haul video as below!)
Quiet Time:
Personally, quiet time (regardless with the boyfriend or not!) is a very rare occasion. Quiet time for me constitutes 2 things.
1. Being with the boyfriend and doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
2. Being alone and doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
I believe those statements hold for themselves :P
Those are my personal simple pleasures :) Thank you for taking the time to read this, and for shameless advertising, please subscribe to my YouTube channel (Link here!!! http://www.youtube.com/user/sherylhosulynn?feature=mhee). Thank you <3
Again, thank you for reading, and taking time out to read my "simple" pleasures which apparently aren't that cheap or simple! I just hope you enjoy! :)
