Remember these Heineken beer commercials? Hope they help lessen your Monday blues!

Now they have something similar or rather, the sequel of the commercial.

Did you see the new shampoo brand in pink and bright orange at Wastons, Guardian and CK stores?

Yes, it is Essential. Read lots of rave on CozyCot on their fruity and floral fragrances.  The pink one is suitable for flat and limp hair, which will give you a light and bouncy feel. Bright Orange is suitable for dry hair, which said to give your untameable hair a smooth and manageable one. To find out more, you can go to their cute and informative website by clicking on the above image.

I love freebies! Don’t you like freebies too?

To me, freebies = samples.

Why I love freebies/samples?

1. Samples are free, you can try the products without paying any cent.
   Save my money for buying the regular size products.
2. They are compact enough to bring along for travelling and after-sport shower.
3. It will allow to know whether the products would suit me.

If you love freebies/samples like I do, I would like to share with you a wonderful site to get your samples.

fr3b.com doesn’t sell samples. You can click on the image link to Fr3b.com. Just sign up for members today, grab your samples and pay for postage. By the way, there are Breathe Right samples up for grab! Get them to try on your snoring partners, friends or family members. My colleague told me it worked for her husband. Try it!

It is almost 2 years since I last made a loan on Kiva.org. The mood just got to me this morning and I made a loan to Sambath Chhet from Cambodia as part of her loan request to buy more rice for rice wine production. I decided to make a slightly bigger loan of US$75 this time round. If you are concerned about not getting your money back, you can choose the organization and project you can loan to. Do some good with your spare money, make a loan!
