oOpS..WAIT!! This is NOT A SNOW WHITE fairy-tale.
Ok, let me rewind and start over!
So, this is the story of a princess named Cheryl, ermm...more accurately, a SELF-DECLARED PRINCESS named Cheryl. Let me begin with some description of my look...
First of all I rate my look as just above average. I have a neither so-tall nor so-petite figure (~160cm), medium long natural wavy curls, and a pair of Chinesee "pheonix" eyes which, even my long lost ex-classmates could recognize when they saw my eyes from the reflection of the front mirror of my car! I inherit the charming features of my dad, which the majority of the people I know always say, "You look like your dad!".
I like my eyes the most, but once I didn't really like my eyes that much... WHY?? If you are my close relatives or my childhood friend, you'll know why. I was a chubby little girl with a melon-like face, not-so-big eyes with single eye-lids, and bulging curly hair. My relatives used to call me "Little Jap", because they said I will look totally like a Japanese cutie if I wear a Kimono. The only word to describe me....CUTE. CUTE, CUTE, CUTE...but if today you tell me that I'm CUTE, I'll faint..
Undeniable, I am a poser since day 1 I was born.
Mum and dad sent me for baby contests and I won prizes at the age of 1 or 2.
My aunts kept snapping my photos since I was a baby, and growing up under the "paparazzi flashes" had made me a camwhore today! But due to my height, I never think of participating as a beauty queen.
I can't live without cuddly stuffed toys. I think I'm being pampered too much with soft toys during childhood. Everywhere I go I brought along my teddy, my bunny, my kitty, my doggie, my horsie...you name it!
Then one day, I got my first pair of pet bunny (Benji & Ruby), and ended up having 60 rabbits in my house the next year! So mum and dad had to give them away because we couldn't afford to keep so many pets in our house.
Since then, I 'compensate' my love for pets to stuffed toys...then ended up having 50 over soft toys during my primary school years. Maybe mum wanted me to learn how to share (I have no siblings), and also maybe because my bed was so full of toys until I had to squeeze them aside before I could find a place to sleep, she persuaded me to donate my little cuddlies to the orphanage. After thinking for a few weeks, I eventually packed and gave away my toys batch by batch to the orphanage.
What about now? Hmmm...I think I've been giving away 200 over toys to the poor and also orphans, but I still have a collection of over 50 over koala bears, teddy bears, dogs and a giraffe. Every now and then you'll see another "new family member" sitting on the sofa or on the computer desk because I just couldn't help from stop buying stuffed toys!! Even my office desk is full of my little cuties.... Help~
I have good fashion sense -- credits to my mum. She always tells me, "Wear what you are suppose to wear according to your age!" I know she cannot accept women who still wear like a 20-year-old dolly at the age of 50. So under her influence, I always maintain my style as - casual and elegant. My favourite clothing styles: urban-chic, smart casual, Korean/Japanese designs, retro, mix-and-match, hippie, alluring but not exposed. And I like those bling bling accessories: earrings, bangles, hair clips, bands, rings, necklaces, watches...and my favourite -- SHADES!
As you can see from my childhood photos, I've been chubby and a little muscular since small. So I don't go for body work out because very easily I will develop muscles...then I'll be very upset with my appearance especially when I wear sleeveless tops. Therefore I read a lot of articles and books to tailor-made my fitness regime.
Frankly speaking I am not a dieter because I love to eat...cheese, desserts, pastas, ice-cream, spicy food, roasted/BBQ pork, etc...., I just couldn't stop enjoying food. You might think that it is ridiculous that I can actually plan my fitness regime without a professional trainer's guide, but it really worked for me. I don't like to spend $$ on going to gym, losing weight and doing spa; might consider to go to Marie France Bodyline or Terimee or Slimming Sanctuary after childbirth in future, not now because I'm still on track what. Unless there is an emergency case that I've put on weight in the last few months before wedding. =0
But too bad...I do not inherit the smooth complexion of my mum, I suffered a lot from my sensitive skin because it's just too delicate. Weather change, food and skin care products play very important roles in my daily skin routine, these are the reasons that drive me to launch this beauty diary of mine. I know there might be dozens of babes out there who face the same problem as I am, butstill haven't I've found the solution! That's why I'm sharing here with the babes out there~
I might not be as professional as the beauticians, but I seek for health and fitness through the natural way, the less chemical the better. I try to detox through eating the right food, use natural ingredients for my beauty routine, and I only make up when there is a function to attend. So most of the time my face is clean with minimum foreign particles except my toner, emulsion and sun block.
I had always dreamed that one day I might have the chance to publish a book about health & beauty, just like some of the celebs had done -- 李倩蓉，蔡依凌，大S，伊能静 and so on. Reading through the lines of their articles made me feel their effort in keeping a balanced body and a healthy mind, though variations in the process of transforming into a beauty is quite huge among them. And for sure, mine varies as well; but my articles shall serve for sharing purpose.
Beauty tips, clothing, accessories, diet & fitness, slimming tips.... Join me in my newly launched beauty diaries -- "Gorgeous is the language of her style". Let's share our knowledge on beauty and style!
