Success is simple. Simply to be successful.

True. Its a cycle people. 
Where are you at now? and TELL ME HOW SUCCESSFUL ARE YOU?!! :P

Life Group Lunches - Henley Beach

I truly enjoy my life group Sunday lunches with my besties. Not to mention all those great themes and ideas they come up with. The recent one was held in Henley beach where it was my turn to prepare the lunch with some friends in my life group. So yea, the theme that was basically made up by me was - Support. Indeed, without it, we are nothing, everything and everyone support us in our lives right?

We made Nomads Special Burger which consist of egg, tomato, iceberg lettuce, chicken or beef patties, cheese and of course buns! 
See, Our one and only Nomad's Special Burgers! HEHE! >-<



Comes with choices of wholemeal or plain buns. Great idea huh? :DD

To fry the egg, monkey spatula! Thanks to Abby and her cuteness.

Brought own cooking stoves :)

And I made Entree - Green Tea cupcakes!! <3
Thanks to Angela and her great photography skills!! Looks like its from the magazine right?

And I decorated them with 100's and 1000's to make them look pwettttyyyy!

Melting in the sun! :P

Best weather, Thank God for it! <3

Played the umbrella support game! Got ourselves wet. Super fun! It was like both teams need to play paper scissors rock and who lose the team will be splashed by water but then this is when the umbrella comes into action! So funnehh!! :3

Me in action. How cool is that swaying of the hair over the face :P

How can I not praise the photographer! Great picture!

Self splash to our team leader. Laugh-OUT-Loud. Yes, everyone laughed!! << to >>

HIDE FOR OUR LIVES!!!! 

Then everyone got a self jump shot and this is what I posed.
Apparently we need to jump where this (broken bucket handle stuck-into-the-sand as an indication) but I still haven't thought of any idea so I did this silly pose =.=0 I'm not even ready yet.

The cheerleading squad??? HAHA and the flat salmon >>

Watermelon by the beach - Best way to end our picnic.
Of course, last but not least

DESSERT IS ------>>>>>>

This is only part of it. We do this every alternate Sundays.
From home lunches to botanical parks picnics to beach picnics.
Ohh..how I love my life group! :3

Can't wait for next week.
Stay tune folks!

Delicious Dessert

I just came back from this dessert place called Delicious Dessert in North Adelaide because I've got a voucher from Living Social website where theres 2 desserts+ 2 drinks for $10. I know it was a long time since I blogged but oh well, I'm sorry :D haha! *back to topic* It was quite worth trying but but but...delicious just defeats the whole name. In fact, everything is super sweet and now I can't sleep because of my sugar rush.

These are the desserts that I ate. Can't even finish them all, I do not recommend other people to come to this dessert place since it's so expensive and not really that good anyway.

The free Iced Mocha.
Iced Coffee tasted and looked the same. :S

The Chocolate Fondue - I wished there's strawberries instead of those stuff. +_+

The second dessert - 3 ice cream choice on the big waffle. This taste better than the one above. 

I can't really give much compliments because I think that there's a lot to improve. The menu. The environment. The food. The presentation. The people. The price. The location. The..omgosh..Am I too harsh or what? :S I really do expect a lot from these dessert places that I go to. Nahh, don't say that I'm fussy because there are really good ones around Adelaide to compare to. So, yea, if possible, this is not the place you're looking for. Full stop. =P

CCCream


BB Creams are trending in the US and Korea at the moment and you’ll probably see more to come. So far Smashbox, MAC, and Boscia have introduced BB Creams stateside with a special appearance by Korean brand name, Dr. Jart exclusively at Sephora.
BB Creams have been toned down a bit for the US market but the concept remains the same in some aspects. A creamy base product to flatter many skin tones that offers sun protection and a flawless finish that evens out skin tone. Whitening benefits, pigmentation, and some anti-aging benefits are missing from US versions but hopefully we catch up sometime soon to our Asian friends in the market.
Now that BB Creams are on the rise here what comes next?
That would be CC Creams or Color Control Creams. What’s a CC Cream? It’s the next generation BB Cream.
Jumps up and down! Have you ever heard of CC cream? :)))
CC cream is simply an improved version of a BB Cream. It offers pretty much the same benefits as a BB Cream including whitening, moisturizing, sun protection, and skin repair.
Where as BB Creams offer all these same options CC Creams promise a lighter texture with a non-oily formula (and in some cases a matte finish) plus some will have Vitamin C for better brightening and whitening abilities. CC Creams promise to have a lighter texture with more nourishing ingredients offering a beefed up formula with the ability to repair problem skin better than BB Creams.
CC Creams mainly contain White tea extracts, Green Tea Leaf Extracts, Hyaluronic Acid, Mineral Powder, Macadamia Extracts, Deep Sea Water, Aloe leaf Extracts, and Natural Vitamin E etc...
So it basically provides sun protection, hydration, agents to help soothe and calm skin, anti-aging elements, plus a long lasting formula.
I haven’t personally played with any CC Creams yet and if you have experience using them or heard of them. 
Do share! :3 

I personally saw this Singapore CC Cream by Rachel K. Never tried them.

Lotsa <3, Avril.
