[FREE GIVEAWAY] Keep Calm & Take A Bath With Shea

I can't tell you how much I love scents.
I can't tell you how much I love it when my room smells awesomely good.

I've got a sensitive nose since young.
When a food smells bad or something in the room smells wrong, I can tell it right away. I feel satisfied when I can distinguish different scents without looking at a product.

A lot of times I choose to sit in the outdoor areas of a foodcourt because I don't want my hair to end up smelling like cooked food which I can tell right away.It is essential that I use anti-odor foot sprays & deodorants.

I'm obsessed.

When it comes to scents, I like fruity-smells. I know some of you reading my post right now prefer floral scents. Doesn't matter as long we love smelling nice. *smiles*

But whether it's the fruity or floral scent, I can't tell you how thankful I am when Shea entered my life and got just the scents I love!

Shea is one of the proud sponsors of Mint Showcase II.

For all attending guests of Mint Showcase II, Shea has prepared special Mint Choc Chip-flavoured body shower butter for everyone! On top of that, they got us a beautiful lemon meringue delight cake (which is actually made up of 16 slices of soap) for MintShow2 cut-cutting ceremony.

Thank you shea & introducing me to your lovely bodycare products!

I visited shea located at Level B2 of Orchard Central.
Doesn't shea look like a pretty bakery rather than a shop filled with bodycare products?
Be greeted by the wonderful fragrance which greets you as you enter.

Shea products are:

  • Handmade
  • Never tested on animals
  • Made of selected natural ingredients like shea butter & pure honey
So friends with eczema & sensitive skin like me, we are saved!

IMG_7705

Their bodycare products range from scrubs, lotions, soap bombs, cake soaps to scented candles, essential oils and more! On my first visit, I stayed more than an hour in the shop!

You're Gorgeous are cold processed log soaps for very sensitive skin.
From Wales, these pure cold press handmade soaps are made from fine plant oil & extracts & decorated with dried flowers & botanicals.

Bomb Cosmetics are products of England.

They have more than 100 products in the range: super scented bars, ice-cream tub shower gels & scrubs, creamy body butter...

The scented soap bars from Bomb Cosmetics are classified according to their benefits, essential oils & fragrance.

The soap bars are colourful, so pretty!
So many flavours, which one is most suitable for me?!
Well, you may try choosing your soap bar here first.

Bomb Cosmetic Care products are my favourites!

Here are the products I have at home:
Raspberry Bloom cleansing shower scrub,
orange fruit-smelling shower gel,
Vanilla-scent Indulgent body butter &
Big Softee body lotion with a sandalwood scent~

IMG_6780

This my favourite scrub: Pink Marmalade.
It's a soft scrub which smells like passionfruit & lemongrass

The best thing is at the end of the day, it leaves your shower room with a long-lasting pink marmalade scent too!

Diffusers by Nyassa, India.

Accessories from shea equally surprised me.
I thought that herbal healers are the coolest pillows ever!

Filled with lavender leaves & other natural botanicals, leave the herbal healer in the microwave oven for a few minutes and use it to soothe your aching muscles.

I have to tell you about their cutest and beautiful looking soap bombs!
The look edible but in fact, they are for your bath tubs.

Scented bomb plasters will sizzle in your bath tubs.

Last but not least, I'm using scented candles from shea!
Everyone of it smells SOOOOOOO gooooood~

This is currently burning in my room as I'm writing.
A subtle meadow smell, mmmm.....

IMG_7640

Although it is said that the candles can last up to 38 hours of burning, the Springtime Candle is on my table for the past 2 weeks already. I'd lit it for a few hours everyday & the room smells great all day!

Works in both fan & air-conditioned rooms.
In my opinion, this scent is suitable for in both a guy's & a girl's bedroom!

Aww man.. I really wish you can smell from your screen right now how fragrant shea products are.
PLEASE go visit their shop at Orchard Central and sounds wrong but, go SMELL them!

Bata Meets Bloggers Spring Summer Collection 2013 Preview

For the first time in my life, I gate-crashed a blog event!

BATA Spring summer collection 2013

I wasn't supposed to be at the Bata Spring Summer Collection Preview but at a dinner with Hpility. I decided to accompany him and stayed on when I saw so many familiar faces-- my good friends whom I've not met for awhile!

Thankfully, BATA Singapore was hospitable enough & allowed me to stay throughout the preview; Thank you!

*My memory card was accidentally reformatted and all the photos I took that day were gone...

This is what's on my iphone~

After the briefing, everyone got to choose a pair of shoes & bag which they can bring home.
Shopping time!

Please click to see more photos taken at the event venue here.

Meanwhile, Juliana & Darren Ng kept themselves busy using the BATA shoes to make the word  'BATA', how creative!

IMG_6477

Choosing a bag & a pair of shoes was so difficult as we were so spoilt for choices.
I went around the place asking every other friend, "which one, which one? So many nice ones!"

Scroll down to see what MinutemanSG did when come to choosing his bag~

IMG_6484

"This one... or.. this one?"
So uncle OMG!

IMG_6485

IMG_6487

I chose a pair of black wedges but they don't have it in my size and I had to go for another pair.
By the time I was chosing for my bag, most of the bags were already taken down from the display and this was the best choice I had:
