Can you guess where I am heading next? Its my birthday month once again and time to have a break! Time flies, a year older, a year wiser and still, there are so many things I have yet to achieve, on a personal level.
How about you? Are you halfway done, to achieving your goals?

Product Description
Mountain Peony extract softens and refines skin texture while Yai Jiu Hua helps improve skin clarity. Spreads easily over the skin's surface and absorbs completely, leaving it soft and supple.
Sulwhasoo Essential Balancing Emulsion EX comes in the trial kit which I owned. A 15ml size. Honestly speaking, other than the extra EX at the back of the name, I am not sure what is the exact difference between the original formula and this latest formula. I believe the additional EX is just so, to be in sync with the whole range of products.
Product Description
Gel type toner infuses skin with deep hydration and moisture. Absorbs quickly to leave skin hydrated and supple without any excess residue.
With "EX" at the back of the name, it is normal for consumers to presume the range has been "upgraded" from the original line without the EX, however, unlike Sulwhasoo First Care Serum EX, where much has been explained about the upgraded status, there was nothing about Sulwhasoo Essential Balancing Water EX and what the EX entails. That is certainly strange from my point of view. Was the EX added so as to be in line with the the Sulwhasoo First Care Serum EX?

The silk pillowcases are said to be beauty sleep's sleeping weapon, keeping hair frizz-free and skin line-free. Switch out your regular cotton pillowcases to satin or silk as this will ensure you have a slimmer chance of being too rough on your skin while you sleep, and will prevent tugging- which leads to ageing in the long run. This tip will also help keep your hair from being too frizzy or tangled because of its softer, more sleek surface.
