1. I went to Cold Storage to buy my second bottle of the long-awaited-but-procrastinated Cranberry Juice. I chose Del Monte.
   
   Reason: I needed to find a way to consume more than 8 glasses of water a day. I'm not a fan of plain water so I tried squeezing drops of lemon into a pitcher of water for a couple of days last time but it didn't last because it was troublesome. Cranberry Juice is working just fine. Besides, ladies, Cranberry Juice keeps your urinary tract clean :)
   
   I pour just slightly over 3/4 of water into a huge mug, and top the rest with the cranberry juice. It's better than drinking Ribena ok. If you like, you can add ice cubes but I try not to drink too much cold stuff.
   
   
   
2. I ran 40 minutes and sweated buckets! It felt so good afterwards. Sweating is good because it removes toxins from our body, if you do not know that already. My skin was absolutely glowing as I was leaving the gym.
   Reason: I am fat.
   
   
   
3. After gym, I walked ALL THE WAY to Subway and bought the 6-inch sandwich in Teriyaki Chicken - Honey Oats Bread with everything, extra olives and pickles. I feel so healthy today, I'm afraid I might barf later.
   Reason: I am fat.
   
   
   
4. I bought a huge avocado to make my regular Avocado Honey Mask. I will post pics of the tutorial when I get to it. My avocado is still not ripe yet. I enjoy making stuff with my bare hands and slabbing them onto my face, it's fun and most importantly, they are cheap, extremely easy to do and most importantly, they work extremely well.
   
   I like to experiment around with oats, yogurt, egg, etc but found avocado works best for my skin. Avocados are packed with rich E, B and K vitamins. Those vitamins are essential for a beautiful healthy skin. Wow wee, I sound like an avocado farmer, trying to promote avocados.
   
   Reason: I love pampering my face! I think I might be addicted to masks. I just did a Black Sugar mask last night and woke up with glowing skin this morning. Ahhh... bliss. I like anything that is packed with antioxidants because I am 27 and I am getting very old, you see.
   
   
   
5. I replenished my color contacts. I usually go to this shop at One Utama who has this year-long Buy 2 Free 1 promotion for only RM130. I bought 2 in my usual Green and for once, I am trying a pair in Grey. I hope I don't look like I have cataracts in them Grey contacts.
   
   
   
6. I can't think of a number 6. But I am gonna spend a long time in the shower later massaging my scalp, scrubbing myself thoroughly with my Bodyshop strawberry scrub, and trim my eyebrows later. And then I'm gonna do a hand treatment myself which involves some cuticle cream, gloves and 30mins.
   

Have I been treating myself badly over the past months that I have this sudden NEED to love and pamper myself?!


In fact, I am so totally in the zone of Love Thyself mode that I've decided to reward myself with the Nokia 5800 Xpressmusic phone, which will only be out maybe next month. Ok, mr tay is sponsoring me so that didn't count as self-rewarding.


Also, I did something drastic on 31 Oct that made me feel oh-so-proud of myself. It cost me a lot of sleepless nights, tears, courage and determination to really stand up, face it and deal it. And dealt with it, I did. I could not have been prouder myself. And as 2008 comes to an end, a new beginning beckons.


A new beginning is beckoning indeed and I can't wait to find out what's installed for me :)
