Tea Tree Pore Minimiser and Tea Tree Oil Review

Recently, my Goddess was given a complimentary The Body Shop Tea Tree Pore Minimiser. Initially she was pretty skeptical about it.

That was because a few months back she spent a bomb purchasing the Estee Lauder Idealist, which promises to illuminate the skin and minimise pores. But ended up her pores were more clogged than every due to the silicon-based formula used. The Horny Devil even commented every day then that her skin seem more 'jialat' (in a bad condition) even though she had no stress from work then. So she stopped using this after one month and her skin got slightly better, though once in a while she still experiences clogged pores which leads to breakouts.


Back to The Body Shop Tea Tree Pore Minimiser. My Goddess was skeptical about the effects it claims to bring. But since it was free, she decided to give it a try.

Path to a HDB Tai-tai: Craftstones

My Goddess has been wanting to get some brick looking/ wood planks looking wall for her place. Doesn't have to be real bricks/wood - can be tiles or wallpaper as real bricks take up too much space, are ex and tough to maintain. So she first searched around for wallpaper - a less space consuming alternative. Went to Goodrich and Asro. Goodrich have a lot of nice brick designs! Totally what my Goddess was looking for. But it also comes with a hefty price!

Path towards a HDB Tai-tai: Electricals & False Ceiling

False ceilings and electrical re-routing got to be done together as the electrician will lay the wires while the false ceiling structures are in place, and once they are laid properly, the plaster boards of the false ceilings go up followed by the necessary touch-ups and cementing/plastering.

False ceilings have the following purposes:

1. Demarcate a special area for the house.

This will be my Goddess and the Horny Devil's dining area

 2. Hide cove lights - mood lighting that shines on to the ceiling.

Path to a HDB Tai-tai: Balcony Decking

My Goddess new place has a super big planter hole, and the Horny Devil and her has no intentions of setting up a farm or a garden using the hole.

Hole big enough for a fish spa pond
And so the two of them decided to get decking for their balcony. They spoke to several decking companies - Woodpro, Supreme Floors, Floor Expert, Timberlist, Goldhill and Evorich, trying to find the best material and deal for the balcony.
