My Classic Search

It’s mine! It’s mine…finally I found it. I’ve been searching all over the place for the classics look kerongsang or dokoh. Ramadhan this year, I’ve actually set an eye for one, which is selling at one of the stalls in the Curve, Ramadhan Bazzar, but its way too expensive for me. So I had to close the desire to own it till recently I start my hunt again as I’ll be wearing a soft baby blue lace trim kebaya lining with gold colour satin. It’s sweet but I need more that just a sweet look, I want it to look sweet yet with a bold character into it and this is were the dokoh or kerongsang will play its part.

So for the past few weeks, I’ve start looking through hopping from one shop to the other, or from stalls to stalls and always ended up not buying as it’s too gaudy, too small, too many stones or to bla bla bla…nothing like the perfect classic look that I’ve imagined. Till yesterday, while browsing online and image googling with the word kerongsang & dokoh klasik, Paulini Collection’s name pop up and yes this is it...My search has come to an end. At an instance I feel in love with almost all of their collection. And yes the very same nite, I purchased my 1st Paulini Collection and trust me, there will be more!! Just look at that….ah..klasiknya..

Aromatherapy & Fertility

Pressure and stress will decreased your fertility as both makes us sad, the feeling of depressed, tired and no positive spirits to believe in good things. Modern women including me suffer a great deal of this. We woke up early morning, rushing to get to work, honking and speeding to avoid dreadful traffics, attend long tiring meetings, handling office issues and stuff, skip breakfast / lunch, rush again to get back home, handling house chores and resting the day off with the heavy feeling coz tomorrow we will face the same things again…

Over years you get used to it…and starting to believe this is part of you without realizing the tension and stress has actually decaying your good long life without you even noticing it…the major contribution to the issues of fertility that affects the hormonal imbalance.

I admit that I’m a victim of this environment ( stress + other factors) …environment that has taken a lot of good spirits within me...at times the feeling of loss in dismay and the feeling of accepting everything as fate or nothing can change no matter what I do. Thankfully being a Muslim we will always turn to our Creator to ask for continuous strength through prayers or supplication...and there are times when my motivation is elevated so high that nothing matters as long as I still believe that one fine day it will eventually happen to me…I have trust and faith in God…so for the time being besides prayers, good medication and supplements, there are many alternatives that promotes fertility …so while browsing I found about aromatherapy, which can help improve a woman’s reproductive health and increase one’s ability to get pregnant by reducing stress and promoting overall good health.

So check out : http://www.gettingpregnant.co.uk/aromatherapy.htm
Here are some points taken from the site.

"In aromatherapy, essential oils are used in order to stimulate relaxation in the muscles and to relieve tension. Essential oils are highly concentrated plant substances, distilled from roots, seeds, barks and leaves. They are usually costly because of the tiny amounts of oil present in a plant and because of the difficulties in extracting it."

"Because essential oils are so concentrated, they should not be applied directly to the skin. Instead, try the following methods:

• Massage: dilute the essential oil in a base such as grapeseed oil, wheatgerm or almond oil; the essential oil should be in the region of 1 to 3 per cent of the quantity of the base. Massage can also be an excellent getting pregnant aphrodisiac and you and your partner can take turns massaging one another. Daily massage can be especially helpful to your reproductive system starting on the final day of your period


• Oil Burner: add 3 to 4 drops of essential oils to a container holding water that is heated by a small candle, allowing the aromas to gently fill the air. It is believed that the healing properties of aromatherapy enter the body through the capillaries of the nose


• Baths: add 5 to 10 drops of essential oil to a warm bath in order to reduce stress, depression and anxiety. If you’re sensitive to essential oils, try diluting them in some base oil or a little milk and allow the oils to disperse before entering the bath
  

The Best Essential Oils to Use when Trying to Get Pregnant

• Rose: aroma therapists recommend rose to regulate the reproductive system. Rose also helps alleviate feelings of sadness - My perfect pick essential oil from Crabtree & Evelyn’s only at RM 44.90.


• Geranium: a calming oil which is said to have estrogenic properties, which have a balancing effect on hormones. Geranium combines particularly well with rose


• Melissa (also known as Balm): a relaxing essential oil which improves your overall mood, Melissa also helps with menstrual problems


• Chamomile: a calming essential oil that relieves menstrual ailments such as pain


• Basil: a strong oil that helps improve overall energy and which helps strengthen reproductive health


• Relaxing Oils: these include lavender and jasmine and promote relaxation as well as improve libido"
  

So ladies, start stimulating your senses with the sense of your choice : )

About Stacy Claire Boyd

Stacy Claire Boyd began designing invitations over 20 years ago in her small New York apartment by hand-painting each invitation.

Although most known for birth announcements, Stacy Claire Boyd has expanded her line to include holiday and wedding cards, party invitations as well as stationery for both children and adults. She also designs infants and childrens apparel which is available at department stores nationwide. ( I'm sure the design will be really cute and adorable : ))

The original price is RM 310, which is a saving of almost RM 170, yup taking into consideration that RM 40 that she had to pay. A very good deal indeed!

Plates & Napkins

Mysury came across to a very interesting website, which offers all about plates and napkins. Plus many more interesting table ware items that excites you. (Tips: search hit tableware design)

It’s no ordinary plates or napkins because this website offer plates and napkins that can match or suits almost all personal occasion from Birthday, Weddings, Seasonal Celebration and etc.
What is even better is that you can shops by colors, by product, or by theme. They even have a blog at http://giftaria.wordpress.com which they claims as an online group of specialty e-commerce stores created to bring hard to find, unique, and high quality product to consumers worldwide. Mysury totally agree with the hard to find and unique claims.

Here in Malaysia, Mysury is quite sure to say that as at today’s date we still do not have this kind of shops / or online shops that offer this kind of stuff, it would be really great if we can have it here rite. Surely we can decorate our table with beautiful stuff that suits the mood. It will surely lift up dull to dazzling!

However, napkins that came with designs can be purchased at IKEA (the design is a bit modern, price range around RM 9.90 to RM 15.90) or you can a get a variety floral design selling at Ace Hardware or Metro Jaya under household item with price around RM 12.90 to RM 12.90 depending on the size and material thickness.
As for Mysury, she bought a green floral design, plain blue and plain red napkins from IKEA all around RM 9.90 to RM 12.90 and an English floral design from ACE Hardware at the price of RM 15.90

Tea at Chinta Mysury

It’s been somewhat a tiring day for Mysury , but a tiredness accompanied by the abundant of joy makes a person feel good about it. Mysury is very much grateful to life and God especially for all 28 years of her life she has never once felt that her close family ever ignored or abandoned her. Though she’s married and has a busy life of her own, close family always remain in the circle of her life.

Always being the sweet niece to every uncle and aunty, they would just care for her just like she a small kid, still getting hug and kisses, phone calls, dinner/lunch treat, still receive small gift during birthday or after their visit from holiday, all this remind her that all of them care about her just as much as she did. Yes, she thank God for that and for the rest of their life, Mysury pray that they will have a pleasant years ahead of them...cause for a moment yesterday, when she look at their faces, a feeling of scared loosing them to death that can never be avoided just make a sharp pain in her stomach, though we cannot escape it, but at last … we hope we may have a peaceful end. God willing…Amen

Anyway, yesterday, some of her aunt and uncle, also her parents, sisters and cousins paid a visit to her house, the house that has always been occupied by only 2 persons was welcoming and extra 15 guests. Their visits was rather a short notice, as they decided to take a peep at their niece new home, …so from the restaurant where they had a small gathering during lunch hour, they decided to extend the gathering to a tea get-together at Mysury very own house “ CHINTA MYSURY”. She’s happy but a bit nervous as thinking what would they say about her house from the choice of location , to size of the house and the interior deco and yes, what would she served them once they get there. Everything was just unplanned. The entire questions come to and end when her aunts and uncle smile proudly (the moment they entered her house) to her and praise, young women you have decorated this house finely, it’s very lovely and neatly arrange. After this, when want to take a break at our own house chores, we will definitely come here : ) . That’s a very sweet comment to Mysury.

So in this entry Mysury would like to share some tips to the readers when you have an unexpected guest to your house especially those who you always want to show a good example to them as a good host.

~To Mysury sister, Ms Lola Lisa, you too will get married soon and we shall ambush your house… : )) ~

Quick Tips:

• Always, and always expect that you will get a guest to drop by at your house especially when any gathering / meeting place took place near to your house (Msyury place and the gathering place was only 15 KM away)
• Always have something ready to serve to the guest. (Luckily she had chocolate cakes and donuts), you can keep some frozen foods like nuggets, curry puff or frozen popiah, perhaps some bread and tuna/ sardine for a quick fix sandwich.
• Prepare some hot drinks – coffee and tea so that your guest may have some choice to drinks. ( Mysury served a black coffee and flavored peach tea)
• Ask them whether they need use the washroom, or the guest room to refresh themselves or for the Muslims guest who might want to perform their Solah, you can place a complete set of telekung, kain pelekat, and the prayer mat ready in the guest room (Mysury trick is to complete the guest room with a complete set of toiletries like a accessories kit, dental kit, lotion, body wash, shampoo and etc– some of this item comes in miniature size from the her hotel personal collection. It’s free, nice and handy!)
• At the living area, switch on some music to create a positive mood but keep the volume low just as background music. Also switch on the aircond/ fan to have a breezy air around, place some magazines / light reading material, albums of your own or family or have some group games items . (JENGA, cards, PS 2 set – this really help to make the small kids stay focus, and etc)
• Talk to all of them no matter how occupied you are with arranging / preparing things. Listen to their comments or feedback regarding your house with a smile or note of thanks.

Lastly, Mysury favorite’s tips, which she got it from http://interiordec.about.com/old/guestroom2/a/tipshouseguests.htm

• Don't Try to Do It All

There's no better way to make a house guest feel uncomfortable than to be working, cleaning, and cooking the whole time your guests are with you. Give you and your guests a chance to relax and really enjoy each other. No one will care if the kitchen is sparkling or the sheets are ironed. And when there is work to do, accept every offer wash the dishes or set the table. Be a team and let everyone enjoy!

• At the end of the visits, thanks your guest and invite them to come again, send them right at the door or gate.

Every little gesture counts a point to a good host ;)

P/s : This entry makes Mysury so excited to have a proper tea get together at her house, with cup cakes, mini sandwiches , pie and pastry, beautiful tea set, 3 tiers cake plates, decorative serviette, fresh flower , invitations cards and door gift…ohh there’s so many joyful things to do..Anyone interested to come? : )

JC Penny Malaysia

Mysury is so excited when she gets to know that JC PENNY is now available in Malaysia. At least that was what she thought when she saw the banner of JC PENNY.com.my via Maybank2u website.

For your info, JC PENNY is one of the most leading American brands that support online ordering as well as physical store located widely in US.

Product ranging from women, lingerie, juniors, SEPHORA, jewelry, shoes, men, kids and baby, bedding, bath, window, furniture, home décor, houseware, gift and etc.

For the Malaysian market, the choice is a bit smaller (yup, no furniture available). If you happen to browse their online catalogue you will definitely fall in love with their design.

So she browsed and browsed happily and almost (yes almost a click away to purchase this completer set) when the final page shows the price of RM 245. What? It was supposed to be RM 94 only ( ohh that is excluding the handling fee / transport fee ) an extra of RM 148 which is even higher that the cost of the completer set..

With a broken heart, Mysury just left the page idle for an hour, after that she just click the close button.

I guess it’s just way too expensive for her...

But for those who is really interested in buying this beautiful completer set with a lace motif on it, you can do so via http://www.jcpenny.com.my/ , they come in 3 colours i.e lilac, pink and white.

~LOVELY.DOVELY.BLUELY~

Weekend has always been the most looking forward day of the week as weekend is the time Mysury could spent her precious hours with closest ties, friends and of coz the beloved husband.

Last weekend, Mysury paid a visit to SSF Home Deco in Bandar Sri Damansara (accompanied by beloved husband and a close friends) while eyeing around, she stumbled upon to one corner and her eyes was mesmerised with this beautiful sight of the corner. She just could not move, feel like taking e'thing there and bring back home and arranged everything back just like it was : )
Everything was arranged in the mixture of pastel/soft blue and white, the furniture is pastel blue decorated with white flower / deco, everything is just so well decorated and place at the right place and the sight is just too beautiful to let go, so Mysury capture that particular moment and here it is. A bit blurry as it was captured via phone camera and dim light around the area is not helping that much either, but at a woman must do what she has to do and that will be to “capture moments to last” at least.

P/s : SSF is a great place to look for fresh ideas since the furniture or similar to it, is not readily available in common furniture places. Though its a bit expensive to some people like Mysury but the price reflect the good quality and design especially this lovely dovely bluely set ..!!

In the mood of Green

Mysury has always belief that God created everything with reasons, reasons that sometimes we realized at the instance of our clear state of mind or sometimes reason that we somehow overlook and only realized when it happen to us.

Colors for Mysury are the most beautiful element created by God, it fills this world with wonders and beauty, remarkable sight is existed with mixtures of beautiful colors. This week topic that excites Mysury is about colors, and she’s more into green and white (her essential choice).

In her journey to create her own style of living, Mysury has personally choose green and white in her living and dining area, simply because for Mysury green is the most soothing decorating color, combining it with white the symbol of purity can create a very positive atmosphere in her home. Coincidentally, through her reading, green is always associated with money, luck, financial success and prosperity, fertility, good crops and harvest, cooperation. Well looks like Mysury has choose the right choice for her home :)

Go Green ladies !!

Some info about the green colors, for other colors reader can go to this link

http://www.truecolors.org/color_meanings.html

Green expresses itself psychologically as human will in operation: as persistence and determination. Green is an expression of firmness and consistency. Its strength can lead to a resistance to change if it is not proven that the change will work or is warranted. Those with Green as a Primary Color value their intellect and capabilities above all else. Comfort in these areas creates a sense of personal security and self-esteem.

Green characteristics seek to increase the certainty of their own values through being assertive and requiring differences from others in intellectual areas. They are rarely settled in their countenance, since they depend upon information rather than feelings to create a sense of well-being. Green expresses the grounding of theory and data in its practical applications and creative constructs.

. One of the easiest ways to leave a lasting, warm impression on first-time visitors to your home and to make those visitors feel welcome is to place an entryway bench just inside your main entryway. Not only do entryway benches create a warm and inviting atmosphere, they are also very beautiful and are practical pieces of furniture as well.
· By incorporating the use of entryway benches into your entry hall you can offer visitors a comfortable place to sit while they are removing their winter layers of clothing or offer them a convenient storage space to keep their coats, hats and gloves. No more will you have to hunt throughout the rooms of your home or in spare closets for coats and hats that have been carelessly strewn about when you have a gorgeous entryway bench in which to store them.
· And there are so many styles and finishes associated with entryway benches that you are sure to find that perfect bench to coordinate with your existing décor, whether your style is eclectic, country or formal. You can choose from popular styles such as Western, Cottage and Antique, just to name a few.
· Take for instance the French Country hall bench manufactured by Powell. This beautiful entryway bench is constructed in the French Country design and features a weathered “linen” finish and a warm French Maple finished bench top. The bench flips up to reveal a storage chest and the back panel is adorned with a mirror and hooks which is perfect for hanging your favorite hat or scarf.
· If you prefer something a little simpler in design, perhaps the Cottage Hall Bench, also crafted by Powell, would be more to your taste. This simple hall bench features a shutter back panel and open slat side panels with a “Black Sand through Terra Cotta Weathered Finish.” An added bonus with this beautiful entryway bench is the hidden storage under the bench seats.
· If you like antiques and a more classic look, you will love the Antique Entryway Bench – Hall Tree. Available in both antique and cherry finishes, this gorgeous bench is exquisitely designed using sturdy wood and wood veneers.
· You can even choose from upholstered hall benches like the Nostalgic Oak Cedar Hall Bench. This bench features a fully upholstered seat in a floral design and a self-rising storage tray. You can also customize upholstered hall benches by covering them with your own needlepoint or family heirloom fabrics.
· And adding an entryway bench to your hall is very affordable. With benches ranging in price from $150 to $600, you are sure to find the bench that will perfectly match your personality, decorating style and budget. Just keep in mind that you do not need a grand or overstated bench to make your entryway truly spectacular. Even a simply designed wrought iron entryway bench will bring that added design element and feeling of warmth to the space in which you welcome your guests and give them the first glance into your home.

As for Mysury, with the end concept in the mind, (a concept that matches her white furniture, a small area, pastel colors, cozy finishing) she has choose the concept ideas like in the picture from Pottery Barn.

Setback: How is Mysury supposed to get this shelf & benches stack with box in Malaysia? This idea of benches is not synonym with the Malaysian concept of living, but to Mysury observation those shelf is available from IKEA and MACY – price range within RM 300 – RM 500. But those benches is a bit difficult to find, perhaps Mysury will have to opt for other thing, maybe a chest drawer or big treasure box covered with soft rug on top or maybe a sofa covered material storage box available at MACY at RM 150 each.

Or maybe, Mysury can customed made the benches from Mr Capenter : )

The choice is her's ; )
