Happy Parcels from Kakjet & OwnDesignBook

Posted in Everyday Life, Good Things, Online Store, Reviews by

Imagine dragging yourself to work because you didn’t get enough rest over the weekend and suddenly.. TADA... 2 parcels were there on your work table ready to be unwrapped and explored.

My first parcel came from a good friend – Kakjet. Previously as part of my ‘parcel kasih sayang project’, I have been sending her and 3 other ladies the occasional goodies parcel just so you know –  make them happy. The contents range from books, shawls, food or silly stuff like pencil cases, pens etc.. I wasn’t expecting anything in return because I’ve been doing it for years now, hence it does come as a surprise to receive a cute little parcel from her. With a note from her son and daughter!

Full of skincare products .. and a shawl. Perhaps she is a fan of the Melaleuca product – I am keen to try that soap which is packaged like a chocolate bar and the lip balm (it smells so nice)

And haruslah tak sabar nak try shawl purple yang baru.. muekekeke

My second parcel was from an Instagram Seller : OwnDesignBook

I’ve heard good reviews about her service through friends who ordered their personalized notebooks from her. The only catch is you have to wait as most of her items are pre-ordered. To be honest, I don’t mind.

Some positive reviews online;

Planner 2016 by Sofie Adie

Birthday present – Nabila Medan

Custom Made Book – Syira Lokman

I ordered the Stickers Package Set at RM65 including postage. I placed my order through Watsapp which she replied promptly. After making the necessary payments online, I sent her ‘proof of payment’ to her email and basically wait. And tawakal. 

The items arrived within the next two weeks and she was very kind to inform me when she delivered the package together with the tracking number.

Now I have enough stickers to last me for at least a year!!!

Review : Handsocks from Kulsocs

Posted in Online Store, Reviews by

I love to buy anything online which has a proper merchandise website. Meaning a proper checkout cart, easy payment system and of course trusted courier service. Which is why Instagram may not be my best place to shop cause you to have to WatSApp or Private Message the seller and this can be a headache and ‘suspicious’. Having this in mind, during #mycybersale2015 week, I bought hand socks from Kulsocs.

The hand socks come in 2 different lengths 19cm/30cm and of various designs. I just wish that Kulsocs would consider the idea of manufacturing hand socks longer than 30 cm to cover the upper arms. It would be great to wear with T shirts.

It is as simple as clicking your items to put them in the cart. I made my payment online and had the digital proof of payment receipt uploaded to the site. I received my parcel in less than 10 days as the company delivers twice a week.

This is me wearing the Glitter Hand socks in Purple (G010) with my baju kurung. If I were any plump-ier, I don’t think the handsock would fit properly as this was snug enough for myself.

I really hope that Kulsocs would continue to become more adventurous in producing more designs and lengths of course. It would be a disappointment if they become content with the current designs they have in the web. Young mothers still wants to look hip and cool at work and also while jalan2. He he.

Review : Another Photobook bizcard

Posted in Online Store, Reviews by

Sometimes you need to have that syok sendiri element to try a particular product. I have been a great fan of Photobook  for quite some time as it offers not only a variety of products but at an affordable price too. I keep coming back to its website to try more of its stuff.

Some reviews related to their products;

Recently on GROUPON, Photobook has a wonderful promotion for its business cards. 50 pieces of personalised business card for RM0. Nice right? Too bad I bought mine before the promo was up. Grrrrr.. geramnya..

BLOG PIC

I loved its quality having bought a set for both my sisters restaurant and my mom’s massage business.

I don’t have to download a software. I just need to log in to its online portal and ‘design’ my card there. The template has boxes and fonts of many sizes to help you get started. It’s good for an amateur like myself who just wants to ‘try’ the product and feel famous important.

Now I can selit2 my blog biz cards at random places around the world. Oh my.. my wanderlust is coming back. Come on Air Asia.. gimme free tickets!!

By the way #MYCYBERSALE has started officially from 28/09/2015  – 02/10/2015. Most online retailers are part of this mega sale including Photobook. Early this morning, I have clicked away to buy a particular ‘thing’ online and hey postage is free on top of the 25% discount for all purchases for that website.I am sure other online retailers are offering equally good deals. *drool* will tell you about that purchase later.

Online Store : Mr Lens .. again

Posted in Everyday Life, Reviews by

My trusted courier service [read: POSMALAYSIA] delivered a wonderful package from MrLens.Com yesterday. My box of contact lenses were packed nicely in a box and also secured in a ziplock bag!! I collect these gems – they can be useful while travelling to hold my passports. He he. And of course those cute personal touches – this time a lollipop although I loved the gummy bears more.

20150801_091345

As usual, I bought my monthly supply of contact lenses. My favourite so far is the Blincon brand specifically in Sweetie Brown and Freshkon Alluring Eyes in Winsome Brown. This time around I decided to try something new and purchased the Freshkon Mosaic. Well, it has been around in the market for more than a year but I have yet to try it as they were not much honest raving reviews from normal bloggers as opposed to the Butterfly bloggers.

Butterfly bloggers  = those who write on beauty related stuff and what not

Having being convinced of its natural and blending features especially in Asian women – through blog posts by non butterfly bloggers and as evident by photos taken by only then the butterfly bloggers, I decided to give it a go. Plus, they are on promotion on the site.

Pictures will have to come later. I have a big big event to go cover as a medical team this evening.

It would be nice if you could purchase the lenses through my affiliate link . See you around. Bye.

Review : Photobook with Foto-Zzoom

Posted in Good Things, Reviews by

This is a Sticky Post. For new post, please scroll down. 

I am a fan of photobooks. Especially after seeing my own wedding photos eternalized in a pretty, thick book back in 2010. The photos won’t be torn, smudged or damaged in any way unless the book itself caught fire. Since then, I have been eye-ing on a few sites which offer these services and lately I came across Foto-Zzoom.

Foto-Zzoom allows customers to create their photobook in less than 15 minutes. I mean who would have time to actually sit down in front of the computer for hours playing editor. Not to mention the pain of having to adjust the settings and size of the pictures especially on photos with poor resolutions. Well, at Foto-Zzoom they will try to solve the headache for you as you order the book in 3 simple steps.

1. Choose the size and design of the book.

2. Key in your personal and payment details

3. Upload your pictures. Do bear in mind that the ‘ORDER NOW’ button would not light up until you have sufficient number of photos uploaded based on the size of the photobook you chose. Having done that, all you have to do is sit back and relax while the designing team does the editing for you. This will take a few days.

Once that is done, they will send you a link for the finished product to your email so you may review and discuss amendments (if any) with the team before it gets published.

The photobook was couriered by City-Link and it arrived on my doorstep safe and sound in one beautiful masterpiece. Even Pekanbaru doesn’t look as mundane as how it was during our little family trip few months ago.

A photobook would look great on anybody’s coffee table. If you place your order now, you will get discounts as the site is having a promotion with the upcoming Raya. Have fun!
