Gifts From My Sister

My sister came to visit me during the Summer. She lives all the way at the other side of the world in Australia. She's 3 years younger than me, but is already a successful doctor. I'm very proud of her!

Anyway, she brought along a few gifts for me.:

A sweet Japanese lunch box.


It comes with 3 adorable pastel forks.


She stopped over in Malaysia to visit our parents along the way, and bought me this blush from Watson's.

Majolica Majorca Puff de Cheek in Peach Macaron.


It's a pretty peachy pink shade, which I'll do a separate post on later.




From Australia, she bought me a big tub of Lucas Papaw Ointment. It's a multi-purpose balm which I've raved about before. I use it for just about any skin ailments; dry skin, sensitive skin, minor burns and rashes.



My skin used to get irritated and slightly red due to hypersensitivity. I don't suffer from those problems anymore as I slather this on my skin whenever it begins to feel a bit prickly.




Peter Alexander is a gorgeous sleepwear shop in Australia, and my sister got me a pair of pink pajama shorts with black cats.




The cats almost has a velvet look and feel to them!



It was fun having my sister around. Her trip felt so short, but we got to do lots of thing we both enjoy. We watched The Phantom of the Opera (me for the first time, her for the 4th?! She's a bit of a Phantom freak). A tradition of ours is to also go to museums and zoos together to relive our childhood. We had a private tour with the Natural History Museum, and my husband took us to Longleat Safari.

Thanks Jill for your presence all these lovely gifts!

  17. That brand of paw paw balm is very good but pity about the smell. It cures chapped lips and peeling cuticles...
