Mysterious and enchanting, that was what Syaiful Baharim's collection projected as the models strut the runway, accessorized in reflective sunglasses and gas masks. His garments are intricately detailed and filled with drama. Major LOVE!

It's about three to four weeks away from my Big Day and the stress is starting to take a toll on me. There's not much to do, but you just... stress out, you know?

I haven't been getting much sleep either, trying to juggle the pre-married life with work, relationship, family, friends, blogging and sorting out the little things regarding the wedding. My routine usually consists of waking up at 8am, go to work at 9.30am then I would be in the office until about 6pm. I would meet up with point8cam for dinner, or buy groceries then cook in our office and it would finish about 10pm. By the time I rest until 11.30pm it would be time to go home. I'd reach home about 12am, or 1am if I'm out to meet people and sleep at 2 so the cycle just continues until the weekend comes. Most weekends, I don't get much sleep either due to family plans, or my schedule would be filled with appointments. 

I honestly miss having time to pamper, de-stress and walk around worry-free. So I take tiny hours in my daily routine to slot in some self-pampering session. 30 minute foot or body massage, 2 scoops of ice-cream, 30 minutes of Tumblr browsing and sometimes, a quick facial treatment. All that work and little play makes Hanie a dull babe... and it shows on my skin.

Other than all the health drinks, detoxing and what not, I still allocate some time to do quick fixes like a 30 minute mask to exfoliate so when Luxola sent me this de-stressing kit that comprises of a a face mask and a very, very expensive candle I did not hesitate. Why would someone reject a thoughtful offer, no?
