[EVENT] : U.S. POTATO FEST CULINARY CHALLENGE

   Potatoes are just one of the common food for me until I discover more about potatoes in the U.S. Potato Fest organized by U.S. Potato Board at  KDU University College, Utropolis Glenmarie. I love to eat french fries, wedges, and mashed potatoes but I never know that potatoes actually contains so many vitamins and minerals that are good for our body.

Said Indra, 'According to the research of JACN, people can eat potatoes and still lose weight!' What I good news for me because I'm a potato lovers.

[BEAUTY] : MOJO NAIL CAFE






  I had checked out the new Mojo Nail Cafe located at SS2 Petaling Jaya few weeks ago. Received an invitation from Vivienne to try out their express manicure and pedicure so here I am to try out their service. 

   Before I started to do my manicure and pedicure, let's walk around and take some pictures of the cosy environment first! Look at the decoration here, so elegant, especially the comfy sofa.



   They provided a series of nail services from gel nail art to digital printing nail art. You may choose the design that you like from the sample shown or let them know what kind of design you want.



   Alright, it's time to enjoy my manicure and pedicure! As usually, it started with hand and leg spa. The manicurist will then shape your nail before applying nail color.

The manicurist applied scrub onto my leg and started to massage.
After exfoliation, the manicurist applied lotion on my hand and leg.
Started to applied nail color.
