Just tweeted about my "foot fetish" and decided to write a post instead since Twitter limits me to only 140 characters.
Ok not your normal "foot fetish". Nope, i don't like kissing toes or people kissing mine. Nope, toes don't turn me on.
My foot fetish is me constantly touching my feet making sure it's soft. Lol.
I've never used any foot scrubs before in my life because i've always had soft baby feet (because since young i try not to step on wet mopped floors - the detergent really spoils your feet). But this afternoon, at the airport, i sat down and felt my heels and it felt quite rough! So i got reeeeally worried i went to Boots to buy foot scrub and scrubbed my feet in the airport's toilet. LOL.
Then i thought about it...and i wondered...if anyone's like me? Constantly afraid of having rough feet? I doubt so la! It's so bloody weird hahaha.
Yknow it must be the maid who worked for my family when i was 5....she had reeeeally badly cracked heels and it was really scary. Think i started this "touching my feet to make sure it's soft" thing since then because i was scared i'll have cracked heels like hers. Also since then i got really afraid of stepping into wet toilet with detergent on the floor or mopped floors. Maybe that's why my feet is still pretty soft! Until this afternoon lah....i dont know why like that :( does wearing heels all the time cause your heel to become rougher???
So anyway, i did some research on Google to help those who don't have soft baby feet to achieve it!
Pretty simple!
All you need is...
1. Hot Water (we all have that at home dont we)
2. Pumice Stone (this would be best)/Foot File/Scrub
3. Vaseline (this would be the best! you can find it at Watsons under $5 - i think?) or any body moisturizer
4. Cotton Socks
Step 1:
Soak your feet in a tub of hot water for 30-45min. The hotter the better.
Step 2:
Pat your feet dry and use the pumice stone to scrub the hard and dead skin away. Spend about 5 min on each foot. Rinse it clean with hot water. Pat dry.
Step 3:
Slather your feet with Vaseline. Lots and lots of it! Just spam only. Especially at the heels part.
Step 4:
Put on cotton socks!
Do this at night, before you sleep. When you wake, remove your socks and wash your feet. You should have softer feet! Try to do this 3-4 times a week? At the end of 2 weeks you should've soft feet already!
Try it and let me know if it worked for you! I haven't tried it because i already have pretty soft feet - but when it gets rougher i definitely will! A lot of sites recommended the same thing so im guessing it should be really effective!

Skin Care
A lot of people have been requesting for this so here you go!
I know a lot of bloggers have already blogged about their skincare regime but i'm sure everyone uses different products?
I do go for facial once a month to remove blackheads and whiten my skin etc but that's not enough! Everyday, you've to be disciplined and follow your skincare regime closely for a clean and nice complexion!
Shall share with ya'll some pretty awesome products i've been using on my face! I've tried tons of great products and in this post i'm going to share with ya'll products which are relatively cheap (under $30) and WORKS! Also, it can easily be found at Watsons/Guardian!
This is a non-sponsored post!
Some products may not be suitable for you....but you have to try to know whether it is or not!
Make Up Remover
Removing your make up at the end of the day before you sleep is a MUST. Do not leave a single trace of make up on your face! Most make up removers i've tried are super oily and i hate it! Except this...
Biore Make Up Remover Wipes
It's fantastic!!! But i must say it's pretty expensive so what i suggest is cut it into half to save money! Half is actually enough to remove make up on your entire face if you use both sides!
Cleanser
Eucerin DermatoCLEAN Refreshing Cleansing Gel
(the one on the left)
After cleansing, my face is soft and smooth! I've used cleansers which are way too drying i find my face so tight after washing it?? Ok i'm so bad with words but yeah, if you've using too drying cleansers, you'd know what i mean!
Toner
After cleansing my face and before i apply moisturizer, i'd apply Hadalabo Super Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Lotion all over!
With a cotton pad, i just swipe it all over my face. I can also see how well my make up remover and cleanser works cus if there are still traces of foundation on the cotton pad, it means i didnt cleanse my face thoroughly enough and i'd go cleanse it again! Remember, DO NOT LEAVE A SINGLE TRACE OF MAKE UP TO SLEEP. It will clog your pores and cause a lot of unnecessary problems which can easily be avoided.
Don't know why they call it "lotion"? It's actually more like a "toner". This product helps lock in and retain moisture for younger looking skin!
Moisturizer
Clinelle Intense Skin Moisturizer
It is super moisturising! It is great for people with dry or normal skin.
Moisturizing is a MUST to attain good skin!
Sheet Mask
Hada Labo Super Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Mask
Sleeping Mask (if i use the sheet mask, i don't have to use this)
Laneige - Water Sleeping Pack (this one can be found at Isetan)
So unlike most masks where you have to peel off/wash off, this one is different! Apply a thin film and sleep with it! I love it cus when i wake up, my skin looks really radiant and it glows!
Pimple Gel (for emergency purposes!)
Neutrogena Rapid Clear Eliminating Spot Gel
Never, EVER, squeeze your pimple. It will end up looking worse! Sadly, this is one bad habit i've yet to kick. :X I enjoy squeezing pimples/blackheads so much....hahaha i sound sick but it's true! AND EVERYTIME I DO IT, I HATE MYSELF SO MUCH!!! So please, DO NOT DO IT!!!! Easier said than done lah....I KNOW.
Apply it on your pimple before you sleep, when you wake up, the size of your pimple will definitely reduce by at least 50%! Well at least for me it does!
I hope the above products work for you! If it doesn't, wait for my next skin care post consisting of more expensive products!
GOOD LUCK!

Easy Roll On applicator
As you can see, it's tinted, so that means it can cover your pimples! Unlike many concealers which do not help treat it, this one will treat your pimple!
This is the first mass market product that conceals and treats pimples. Provides 12 hours of lasting coverage. A concealer + pimple cream for only $22.90! SO WORTH IT! I actually bought it even before i was sent the product because i have a friend who kept raving about it to me. I even bought the roll on one to lighten dark eye circles!

Toner
Ok, here's a product i'm going to introduce to you that'll help you achieve good skin. There are many steps to achieving good skin and one important step is to apply TONER.
What does a toner do?
It helps remove impurities which your makeup remover might have missed.
Your daily skin care routine for flawless skin should be like this,
Remove your make up with a cotton pad > Wash your face with a facial cleanser > Apply toner with a cotton pad > Apply your moisturizer, serum etc. > Apply mask every 2-3 days
Witch Hazel
Treat Acne: Witch hazel can reduce the inflammation on a pimple. Some people claim daily use helps with acne, and witch hazel can be found in many over-the-counter treatments.
Shrink Eyebags: Some people say that the application of hemorrhoid cream to those little baggies under your eyes can take them away. It's not an old wives' tale. One of the magic ingredients in a product like Preparation H is witch hazel, which helps tighten up the skin and reduce the bagginess.
Heal Bruises: But if you bang your leg or arm and are left with a nasty bruise, a thrice-daily dab of witch hazel can help speed up the healing time of the bruise.
Rose Water
Use It As A Setting Spray:
Rose water works amazingly as a makeup setting spray. These days you can get rose water in a spray bottle. Keep it on your vanity table and spritz a little bit after you have finished doing your makeup and it will set it into place. It is the best thing to use if you feel that your foundation is a bit powdery or too matte, it will give you a very nice healthy and dewy finish.
Use it to remove your makeup:
Pour a littel on a a cotton ball and gently rub in a circular motion on the face and around the eyes yo remove makeup.
Use As A Toner:
It can be used as a natural facial toner because rose water helps to absorb excess oil from the skin without leaving a drying effect. Make your own by combining 1 1/4 cups of rose water, eight drops of glycerin and 3/4 cup of witch hazel in a dark glass bottle (this is important because you do not want light to affect the mixture). Shake the bottle well before use, and apply daily with cotton balls or swabs. Rose water toner is perfect to combat acne.
Use As An Anti-Wrinkle Agent:
Apply rose water to your face to tighten pores and prevent wrinkles. Acting as an astringent with anti-inflammatory agents, the rose water will help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Use For Irritated Eyes:
Using makeup and eyeshadows regularly can make your eyes feel dry and irritated. Rose water is very effective for irritation, redness and inflammation of eye. Put 2-3 drops in the eye 2-3 times a day.
Get Rid Of Excessively Dry or Oily Skin:
Rose water helps to balance the pH of the skin, helping to control both dry and oily skin and can soothe many types of dermatitis.
Get rid of Acne & Black Heades:
Rose water is also used to treat pimples and to get rid of blackheads. The rose petals have antibacaterial properties and are soothing to the skin. Mix rose water with lemon juice and applying to the skin twice a week . Another way to use rose water is to boil petals in water and steam the face for ten minutes.
Get Rid Of Itchy Scalp & Induce Hair Growth:
As rose water is anti-inflammatory and reduces dryness it it really good for dry itchy scalp. Rinse your head with rosewater mixed in water. It also nourishes the hair and induces hair growth by increasing the blood flow.
Use To Relieve Headaches:
Use a little bit of rose water on a cotton ball and apply around the eyes, forehead and temples to soothe headaches.

I found a toner which is excellent AND CHEAP!
I have TONS of skin care products. Some good, some bad. Of course i wouldn't wanna tell you which is bad cus what may be bad to me may not be bad to other people. I am always trying new skincare products if you don't already know. When i say a product is good, trust me k? Not paid to do this. :)
It's less than $10 from Watsons/Guardian. GET IT! :D
Alternatively, you can buy Witch Hazel and Rose Water separately! Here's why!
