Feeling tired and need some pampering “ME” time? Well, get a good rub at The RUB Bar.

Located just beside Red by Sirocco hotel in Kuala Lumpur, The RUB Bar offers massaging services that will melt your stress away.

The RUB Bar (a word play on ‘raba’ which translates to ‘to rub’ in English) was recently opened to both Malaysians and tourists at RED by Sirocco Kuala Lumpur. The spa offers premium quality services and products at a really reasonable prices.

There are complimentary refreshments and light snacks for you to enjoy while you wait for the therapist to attend to you.

The RUB Bar has its own natural wellness products such as aromatherapy oils for detoxification, muscle relief and relaxing.

Checking out the Fun Soap section at The RUB Bar. These are among their bestsellers and customers’ all time favourite. From afar, I mistook them for sliced cakes. They look delicious enough to eat.

Cute and colourful looking Wanderbath soaps and bath bombs spotted too over here.

You may also customise your own ‘The Rub Bar Body Scrub’ or lotion to your own liking.

But as much as I like the soaps and stuff, what I was really there for is their massage. With more than 10 treatment areas for guests to enjoy some private “ME” time, The RUB Bar is a sanctuary for those who wants to rejuvenate their bodies.

They have plenty of things on their menu, but I had my eyes on the foot Reflexology and Body Massage package and here’s my therapist giving me a footbath before proceeding with the massage.

Getting massaged. It feels so good but here’s trying my best not to laugh out loud when the therapist was massaging my feet cuz I’m awfully ticklish there.

Once the foot reflexology session is up, I was ushered upstairs to the curtained area where I was given my full body massage treatment.

Sorry guys, no pictures. I was in nothing but my panties and a towel as my therapist massaged my body. I was told that it was just a basic traditional Malaysian massage, but it feels pretty much like magic to me. The massage took about 1hour and a half I feel so relaxed that I fell asleep during the treatment.

A picture of me after the treatment. I felt so rejuvenated and relaxed that I feel like going back to just sleep.

Now, let me be honest with all of you here. I’m not a huge fan of body massage, cuz I have bad experience in a spa before where the therapist exert too much energy and I got sore for two weeks before I feel better again, but I am glad that I gave The RUB Bar a try as the therapist knew how to control the pressure when she massaged me. Being ticklish on my foot aside, I felt nothing but fully relaxed and refreshed after treatment. Now, if your body are feeling tired and need an effectively quick recharging, I suggest you get some good rubbing at The RUB Bar.

The list of services include:
– Body massage, with or without aromatherapy oil (from RM69),
– Foot reflexology (from RM49),
– 3-in-1 massage, which combines the foot, neck, and head and shoulder massages (from RM79),

Who says makeups are only for the ladies and only the feminine sex should use them? I don’t believe in such stereotype and discrimination. I believe that men too should be allowed to use makeups to groom themselves to look good and presentable too without being condemned for being vain.

If you’ve read my previous post, you’ll know by now that I recently received a makeup box from Althea.

I’ve done a simple 2 minutes tutorial in the previous posts, featuring simple makeups for ladies but this time, I’d like to share with you some simple, natural look makeup tutorial for teenage boy/men using some of the products that I’ve gotten from the newly released Althea make up sets.

1. First, prep and cleanse the face by removing dirt, excess oil and inpurities by using Althea Milk Peel Cream Mask.

2. Next is to cover up sprouting pimples and sooth them wity Althea Skin Relief Spot Film Gel. This stuff not only helps to cover bulging pimples prior to any foundation application, but it’s really cooling and it not only helps to sooth irritated skin due to pimples, but it helps to reduce them as well after using them for long term.

3.Once the impurities are removed, pimples are ‘covered’, hide the skin’s flaws Althea Flawless Creamy Concealer. Here, the lightest shade Althea Flawless Creamy Concealer in Vanilla is used to cover up any imperfections.

4. Next is to warm and brighten panda-like eyes by applying BCLxA Sunrise&Moonrise Eye Pallete’s eyeshadow. Here, the shade #1 and #2 is applied together on the eyelids.

5. Althea Watercolor Cream Tint in #04 Marron Cream can be used to hide chapped lips and to brighten the pale lip shades a little. Simply dab on a little for a healthy lips effect.

And here’s the final result; a naturally healthy and clean look for a young man.

Looking good is not just about the looks. It’s about having enough self respect to look confident and presentable. I have always emphasized this to my son; looking presentable is a form of respect towards the people around us.

QSR Brands (M) Holdings Bhd (QSR Brands), operator of KFC and Pizza Hut restaurants,  embarks on strategic partnership with FatHopes Energy Sdn Bhd (FatHopes Energy) to deploy sustainable practices and eco-friendliness in its operation by processing oil wastage into industry fuel.

The initiative is an effort in driving change towards social and environmental well-being while generating a consistent sustainable stream of biofuels originating from Malaysia.

A Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) was formalized with a document exchange between Merrill Christopher Pereyra, Chief Executive Officer, Restaurants Division, QSR Brands and Vinesh Sinha, Founder and CEO of FatHopes Energy. The exchange was witnessed by Dato’ Kamaruzzaman Abu Kassim, Chairman of QSR Brands and Dato’ Seri Mohamed Azahari Mohamed Kamil, Managing Director of QSR Brands in a ceremony held at KFC Wangsa Maju, Kuala Lumpur.  Also present during the ceremony was Dato’ Eddy Leong, COO of FatHopes Energy.

Dato’ Kamaruzzaman noted that the partnership with FatHopes Energy is a firm step forward in QSR Brands’ sustainability journey and is fully aligned with its renewed focus on an Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) framework, pointing to the many benefits derived from this initiative.

“The social outcome of this initiative focuses on channelling the used oil produced towards traceable, industrial application instead of running the possibility of any Malaysians consuming repurposed used oil in their everyday meals. Its environmental impact comes from the diversion of these oils towards biofuels which means significant amount of carbon* will no longer be emitted into the atmosphere. Lastly, the initiative has economic benefits too as a result of a significant increase in used oil income due to the added volumetric yield of used cooking oil recovery from the KFC stores,” he said.

Meanwhile, Dato’ Seri Mohamed Azahari also noted that the proprietary FHE iTank System by FatHopes Energy, an innovative used oil aggregation solution that will be installed in all KFC restaurants, is designed to enhance operational efficiencies within the restaurant’s kitchen by eliminating direct handling as well as increase recovery yields significantly.

“We are very supportive of FatHopes Energy’s innovative waste recovery technologies, the speed of their commercial scale rollout targets as well as their passion for waste to energy creation.  Besides that, having them as our sustainability partner allows us to focus more on our core business, serving our finger lickin’ good chicken to the millions of customers every month,” he added.

Expressing confidence on the partnership, Vinesh Sinha said that the tie up with QSR is another significant milestone in FatHopes Energy journey and an exemplary initiative that should be adopted across the industry.

“We are fully aware of the multifaceted nature of climate concerns and recognise that there are limits to what a company can do independently in addressing such challenges. But we remain persistent and proactive in creating or exploring solutions that are not just economically sound but also bring about significant social and environmental benefits. We are grateful to have the support of QSR Brands and are happy to offer our expertise and capability to provide innovative solution in managing waste oil from all KFC restaurants in an ethical and highly responsible manner.” Vinesh said.

The initiative with FatHopes Energy will be rolled out in stages starting with the installation of FHE iTanks in KFC restaurants across Malaysia and potentially Singapore. The parties are now in final stages of discussion on the second phase of the initiative, whereby FatHopes Energy will operate QSR Brands’ biodiesel plant in Port Klang for waste based biofuels production. Operated by FatHopes Energy, the operational capacity of the existing biodiesel facility will be increased to drive the global agenda of decarbonisation – positioning Malaysia as a pioneer in the area of waste based biofuels production. 

My favourite online shopping portal for Korean skincare and makeup finally released their own line of makeups and I got myself a boxful of them to try.

Here’s sharing with you what’s in the box:

Althea Makeup Box contains; Althea Skin Relief Spot Gel Film, Althea Flawless Creamy Concealer, Sunrise&Moonrise BCL×A Eye Pallete and Althea Watercolour Cream Tint.

Althea Skin Relief Spot Film Gel. This is generally used to create a thin layer of transparent cover for bulging pimples prior to any foundation applications before makeup. It also gives a soothing, minty effect. Apart from using this myself before painting my face. I also let my acne infested son use it and they works wonder on him. Will be talking about them in another post, soon, so KIV for it.

Althea Flawless Creamy Concealer. They come in 4 colour codes; Vanilla, Ginger, Honey and Mocha.

Here’s the swatch for each shades on my hand.

Sunrise&Moonrise BCL×A Eye Pallete. A collaboration between Indonesian actress Bunga Cinta Lestari and Althea.

The Sunrise&Moonrise BCL×A Eye Pallete contains 8 shades, with a mix of matte, shimmery and glittery shades.

Althea Watercolor Cream Tint. They come in 4 bold and lovely shades; #1 Plum Cream, #2 Strawberry Cream, #3 Peach Cream and #4 Marron Cream.

Check out the swatch on my hand.

And here’s how it looks like on my lips with minimal makeup.

Although I’m really a vain person and loves to dress up simply to impress myself whenever I look at myself in the mirror wherever I go, I hate to spend a lot of time to paint my face. I prefer to keep things simple as I believe that less is more where makeup is concerned. Here’s sharing with you my 2 minutes Althea makeup box tutorial:

Step 1: Prep the skin with Petal Velvet Sunaway. Apart from providing UV protection throughout the day, it also helps the skin to stay moisturized, even after applying makeups.

Step 2: Use the Althea Flawless Creamy Concealer to cover up your flaws and imperfections. I usually will dab on some Althea Petal Velvet Powder in Lavender pink after applying the concealer as base, but I ran out of them and I yet to make a purchase and stock up on them, so this round I forgo the Althea Velvet Powder and just make do with the Althea Flawless Creamy Concealer. The outcome lacked the radiant effect without the Althea Petal Velvet Powder but the concealer works well to cover the flaws on my face.

Step 3: Brighten up your eyes with BCLxA Sunrise&Moonrise Eye Pallete. I’m not much an eye-shadow person. Most of the eyeshadows that I tried before in the past did nothing but dissapoint and frustrates me with their lack of pigmentations, but the BCLxA Sunrise&Moonrise Eye Pallete is such a joy to use. It’s easy to blend and glides on easily on the eyelids. And the best part? Every single colours on the pallete are highly pigmented and great to wear for long hours. For sparkly eyes effect that will help you stand out in the pictures, use some Althea Spotlight Eye Glitter as well. You may also complete your eye makeup with eyeliner as well for a more dramatic effect. I’m not an eyeliner person though and therefore, I exclude them in this tutorial. For this makeup look, I used shade #1 as base and #6 to fill in the eyelids.

Step 4: Create flushed cheeks effect by using Althea Watercolor Cream Tint. Yes. This cream tint is awesome. It’s originally meant to be used as lip colour but it doubles as a blusher as well. I used Althea Watercolor Lip Tint in #01 Plum Cream as blusher. The shade might be kinda overwhelming for those who prefers subtle blushing effect, but I like my cheeks looking healthily flushed and bright, so feel free to use other colours, whichever makes you happy.

Step 5: Apply the Althea Watercolor Cream Tint on the lips, and voila! You’re done. Since I’ve already used darker shade for my cheeks, I used Althea Watercolor Cream Tint in #03 Peach Cream to give the overall makeup look a sweet and youthful effect. Althea Watercolor Cream Tint in #03 Peach Cream is my favourite among all other colours available. It’s a cheerful colour that’s definitely a mood booster.

Here’s the pictures of overall look after about 2 minutes under natural sun lighting. It’s not my usual makeup look but if anything, I was told that I look younger than my age. A friend on my Facebook even commented that he thought I look like a girl in Blackpink (A currently famous Korean Kpop Girl Band). I’m definitely a happy camper and will definitely go for youthful look like this more often.

Happy skin, happy you. Won’t you agree with that with me? I surely agree with this statement. Sadly, I am not very happy with my skin lately. It has turned rather dull and somewhat lost it’s radiance. Someone commented that I looked rather tired and haggard. I am not quite sure what contributed to that, but I guess it’s mostly because of stress and the lack of sleep that I’m getting lately. And I’ll blame the dry spells as well. I wasn’t exactly sure what to do to remedy my current predicament, but a friend of mine says that maybe I need to exfoliate my skin to allow it to breathe and regenerate. She introduced me to Dr. Glamogenic and I decided to give it a go.

For those who are not familar with Dr. Glamogenic, it’s actually an Australian-made skincare created by a panel of doctors with over 30 years’ experience in the skincare and beauty treatment sector. Although Dr. Glamogenic skincare is formulated to fit Australian’s lifestyle, it generally suits our Asian skin as well as they are made of high-quality, natural ingredients and is kind to both the skin and environment.

Dr. Glamogenic skincare range comprises of 8 products in total (6 for face, 2 for body)

1. Hyaluronic Booster Serum
– Moisturises and improves skin texture for sensitive / tired skin.

2. Antioxidant Vitamin C+ Serum
– High concentration of stabilized vitamin C derivative helps revitalize tired skin and brighten dull skin tone.

3. Perfection Whitening Spot Serum
– Intensive brown pigment spot care for freckles, facial blemishes and dark circles under eyes.

4. Brassica Peeling Gel
– Mild and moist peeling gel with broccoli extract rich in vitamins, minerals and nature-oriented cellulose.

5. Dynamic Brightening Mask
– Whitening and nutritious creamy sheet mask.

6. Vitalize Soothing Mask
– A 100% natural cellulose sheet that nourishes and soothes skin with rich essence made from Guaiazulene, Aloe Extract and Hyaluronic Acid.

7. Enliven Brightening Cream
– Highly concentrated whitening cream for underarm, elbow, knee, etc.

8. Youth Restoring Modeling Shaping Cream
– Improves skin elasticity and creates smooth body silhouette.

Here’s sharing with you a product from Dr. Glamogenic that I recently got to remedy my ‘situation’.

Dr.Glamogenic Brassica Peeling Gel. I got this for RM128.80.

The Dr.Glamogenic Brassica Peeling Gel comes in a convenient tube of 100ml and provides mild and moist peeling gel with broccoli extracts that are rich in vitamins, minerals and nature-oriented cellulose.

This Brassica Peeling Gel is really easy to use. All you need to do  is squeeze a pea-sized amount on your finger, rub them on your skin, and wash off after tiny clumps form on them.

The ingredients in the gel interact with any oil or grime sitting on your skin, and clump up with some friction. The clumps act like the grains in a scrub, but they are much softer and less scratchy. This gel is definitely gentler on the skin, in comparison to the regular scrubs that I got from drugstores.

The peeling gel is quite effective, I must say. I was  immediately left with smooth and slightly glowing skin upon rinsing. Pretty cool, huh? With this peeling gel you don’t have to worry about bacterial growth, nor do you need to remember to take it out of the shower and dry it out properly in between uses.The peeling gel ensures the skin is exfoliated properly. As the oil, grime, and all the impurities are neatly “peeled off”, you are left with supple and rejuvenated skin since. The skin actually feels fresher and healthier than before.

Overall, I really like this gel. It helps my skin to breathe. My skin really feel fresh and ‘light’ after exfoliation with the gel and and hopefully, after long term usage, my skin will be more radiant than before. I haven’t try other products in De.Glamogenic range of skincare yet and would give them a try soon. But I can honestly recommend this Brassica Peeling Gel. It’s fanstastic and makes me feel as if I’m worth a million dollar.

Unlike most ladies, I’m not quite a huge fan of perfumes. Sure, I like smelling fresh all day long but most scents does not agree with me and most perfumes smell really strong and will not only make me sneeze but will make my skin itch as well. And so when I was given this Stay Fresh Body Sparkling Mist by Althea X Titi Kamal, I was feeling apprehensive to try it out.

This Stay Fresh Body Sparkling Mist is basically a body mist produced as a result of the colloborative effort between Althea and Titi Kamal, an Indonesian actress who were shot to stardom after her role in Indonesia’s best films from the 2000s, ‘Ada Apa Dengan Cinta’. Stay Fresh Body Sparkling Mist promises to deliver fragrance that help ladies to stay fresh and smelling sweet all day long, but I honestly left this Stay Fresh Body Sparkling Mist by Althea X Titi Kamal aside for a little while. I was afraid that it will make me sneeze again like other fragrances and colognes that I’ve tried before.

I seriously wasn’t looking forward to all the sneezing and the itchiness that never failed to happen whenever I tried some perfumes, I must say but I decided to take a sniff of it nevertheless after reading so much positive reviews about it on the Internet, and I am really glad that I decided to give it a go instead of just leaving it on my dresser to gather dust.

Stay Fresh Body Sparkling Mist by Althea X Titi Kamal smell really sweet and is quite subtle in comparison to other body mists, colognes and perfumes that I’ve tried before in the past. This body mist gives off fruity scents of peach, orange and a hint of roses. It smell surprisingly delicious and upon spraying it on, it feels really pleasant instead of prickling on my sensitive nose. Unlike most perfumes and cologne, Stay Fresh Body Sparkling Mist by Althea X Titi Kamal is really subtle on the senses and it really does keep you smelling sweet and fresh all day long as promised.

It may not be a love at first sight for me, but I’m now a devoted user. I’m not only spraying it on my clothes and body but my hair as well as it helps me to smell deliciously sweet without making me sneeze my nose off. Stay Fresh Body Sparkling Mist by Althea X Titi Kamal is now a permanent resident in my handbag and have been my faithful companion whenever I’m out and about and I’ll definitely stock up on this soon. I highly recommend this Stay Fresh Body Sparkling Mist by Althea X Titi Kamal, especially for those who are sensitive towards fragrances. This one is quite subtle and it might agree with you too.

This body mist is exclusively available on Althea . For more info and current promo on Stay Fresh Body Sparkling Mist by Althea X Titi Kamal, head over HERE

So, the kind Mr. Postman dropped this in my mail a couple of weeks ago; Althea Pore Purifying Serum Cleanser. It’s another one of their newly released exclusive product.

Now, I’m not much a skincare or a makeup addict and I don’t know much about them, but the name itself somewhat confuses me at first glance. ‘Pore Purifying Serum Cleanser’. So what is it exactly? A serum? A Cleanser? Or a toner? The name itself is abit of a mixed up for me, but that’s exactly what it is. Althea Pore Purifying Serum Cleanser is actually that; both cleanser and a serum. It promises to clean away your makeup, dirt, and oil with mint extracts while ensuring the skin stays cool and hydrated,effectively minimizes enlarged pores and as a result, keeping it smooth to the touch. Althea Pore Purifying Serum Cleanser also helps to balance the pH levels of the skin and therefore, it’s great for all skin types, even for those sensitive skins. The Althea Pore Purifying Serum Cleanser is really easy to use. To use it as a cleanser, simply dampen the skin and apply on a small amount of Althea Pore Purifying Serum Cleanser and massage onto the skin in circular motions for 5-10 seconds gently before rinsing off with water. To use it as a makeup remover, simply dab some on cotton and use it on dry face to wipe off dirt, sunblock, and makeup.

Althea Pore Purifying Serum Cleanser main ingredients are Mint Leaf Extract that cools down the skin and soothes irritations; Jojoba Seed Oil that deeply moisturizes, and Tea Tree Leaf Extract which has antibacterial properties that helps to purify the skin. Another prominent ingredient is Citric Acid which is known to have anti-aging benefit. Pretty cool, right? The Althea Pore Purifying Serum Cleanser is not overly scented either. It has a really mild citrus smell that’s barely there, and I really like it.

Check out the makeup removal effect. I’m quite amazed that it removes makeup effortlessly. I barely wiped off my matte lipstick and it went off like it was never there. So this is definitely a plus point for those who wants intense cleansing.

I can’t really say much about this Althea Pore Purifying Serum Cleanser for now, as honestly, I just used this for two weeks, give or take. I cannot say that really helps to minimize enlarged pores yet but I can honestly say that it leaves my skin very clean,soft, smooth, and moisturized and I would recommend this to be used even by those who are always busy and constantly on the move. This product is great for those who can’t be bothered with elaborated skincare regime. Both adults and teenagers can benefit from this as Althea Pore Purifying Serum Cleanser somehow gives great result with minimal efforts.

The Althea Pore Purifying Serum Cleanser is available exclusively on Althea HERE.
