Charlene's 2016 : A year of Traveling
It's Day 365. A day to review everything in this year. It's indeed a Year that from something to nothing, and from nothing to something. Lol, kinda complicated but yes, I've grown up a lot in terms of EQ and IQ.
My 2016 started with this memorable trip to Maldives! Sounds like a wonderful trip, actually yes and no, as I went there because of breaking up with my ex lol!! But the trip was remarkable because I experienced their crystal clear water and went to a sand bank! Also snorkeling with baby sharks, how cool! Actually I miss it already, wanna go again with my MR. Right in the near future, for the glow in the flow. ( glowing phenomenon at the seaside, kinda feel like get into an Avatar world )
20 Christmas Gift Ideas 2016
Time flies and all I would focus on is - people. Thanks to everyone who always stand by me and support me all this while. I'm truly a blessed girl to have y'all.
As Christmas is approaching, everyone starts to shop for christmas gifts. Choosing what to buy could be more of a dilemma if you have a budget to stick to but fear not - as there are lots to choose from whatever your budget.
1) Scented Candles
Something to bright up your home and it makes people feel blessed to stay in scented room. I got my BFF a Yankee scented candle during last year christmas and she loves it! Especially for those who are into lifestyle, this gift couldn't go wrong.
My Travel Hack: How to save money on flights with Travel Cat
To travel is to live, obviously for me.
I'm a travel junkie as you can see. I feel so blessed to explore the world while I'm still young and energetic. They often asked how I did it as travelling might cost a lot of money. It does cost a bit from air tickets to accommodations, food and transport while you are exploring the country. Here a little travel hack that I'm gonna share with y'all who love to travel like me!
First thing first, Save money on Flights with Travel Cat!
I'm a full time blogger and that's why I can choose the cheapest flight and fly whenever I want. But what if, you have your full time job and a certain date to travel on?
Found this cute little website that actually sending us the flight deals before anyone else! How cool is it! You can sign up for Free, and start receiving deals right away. But this will only be 20% of the deals available. As a premium member (only $5 per month) you will receive 100% of the deals - and trust me, its definitely worth it!
They are currently providing the service to the United States, Australia, New Zealand and United Kingdom. So if you are flying from these countries, you can save the big bucks! Most flights are not last minute, meaning you have plenty of time to book and organise your holiday.
A new perspective.
It's been awhile I didn't share my personal thoughts and feelings on my blog. Hey lovely people out there who read my posts, I miss y'all.
I'm a girl who put my happiness on priority. When I hang out with my bff, I feel happy. When I have my Starbucks mocha frappe, I feel happy. When I'm travelling to other countries, I feel happy. There's a lot of reasons for me to smile and I woke up every morning with a passion, to create and enhance what I'm doing right now, to improve every little thing in my life.
I'm glad that my online florist shop Floratorie.co is running so well with all your support! Thanks to everyone who mentally and physically support me. Thanks to my business partner cum bff, Catie who always stand by me. I will definitely do my best and I believe, we will go to the next level very soon.
As a travel ambassador and lifestyle blogger, I get a lot of chances to explore new places, try out new products and meet a lot of new people. So happy that I met a lot of nice people through my recent trip to Indonesia, and that's also one of the reason why my gallery is so beautiful as there are a lot of talented people who can take stunning photos.
I appreciate those who sincerely good to me, especially those I met since long time ago. They are my childhood friends, primary classmate and secondary schoolmates. I treasure good people more than any other thing. Never forget my followers and readers, who always support my pictures and blog posts, Thank you!
Thanks again everyone for coming into my life, y'all like my guardian angels.
Love,
Charlene

You have no Future!
Self-help gurus and Zen Buddhists tell us to live in the present, doest it matter?
It matters.
Because when you are happy, enthusiastic, absorbed, in love, you plug into the power of Universe. When you are dissatisfied, distracted and depressed, you are unplugged, and when you are unplugged, you are powerless to create anything better.
Your key to a better life is to feel good Now. Not next week, not when you pay off the apartment, not when peace is declared in the Middle East.
Every moment that you spend regretting the past or fearing the future is an affirmation that life is lousy, and so you get more of "lousy".
Here's another reason to live in the present:
The future doesn't exist. You have no future!
Of course, we pretend it does. We pretend that time is like a piece of string where the past is on once end, the future is on the other end, and the present is in the middle. Not so.
All we have is an eternally unfolding present moment. The only time you will ever meet the future is when it becomes NOW. And when the future is now, it is not the future. There is no value in waiting for something doesn't exist.
It is useless telling yourself " I Will be rich, I Will be happy, I Will be successful."
When your mind is in the future you are spinning your wheels.
Your power is in the present: " I AM rich, I AM happy, I AM successful."
I AM that I AM. The two most powerful words in the Universe are, "I AM"
You are perfectly designed to handle present moments. Remind yourself, " Right this second I have everything I need. I choose to enjoy THIS moment." Every second that you live in the present moment is an affirmation that life is good, and that feeling goodness showers more goodness to you.
Tips to Stay in Shape during Chinese New Year!
It’s a season of family reunions and festivities, a time of happiness and feasting. I have then researched some tips for you to stay healthy and not overeat this Chinese New Year!
1) Hydrate yourself
Drink more water to ensure that your body isn’t dehydrated! Sometimes we feel like quenching our thirst with a carbonated soft drink, do remember to drink water instead of sugary drinks. Water helps to remove your body toxins and good for your digestion. Have a glass of water before your meal helps to limit your food intake as well. Also, we sometimes mistake our thirst for hunger. Don’t commit that error by making sure that you are always well-hydrated!
2) Do not visit on an empty stomach
When you are hungry, you tend to overeat without thinking. Have a light meal or healthy snack of apple, banana or nuts before visiting or in between visits.
3) Be selective
Limit your intake of deep-fried meat such as pork, chicken and seafood as they are high in saturated fat. Choose nuts and seeds over sugary pineapple tarts and bak kwa (barbecued pork).

SkinnyMint Morning Boost as coffee replacement
"Coffee or tea?" It seems to be a very common question for all.
If you rely on caffeine to wake you up and keep you going, you aren't alone. Caffeine is used by millions of people every day to increase wakefulness, alleviate fatigue, and improve concentration and focus.
Up to 300 milligrams (mg) of caffeine a day appears to be safe for most healthy adults. That's roughly the amount of caffeine in three cups of brewed coffee, 6 cans of cola or three "energy shot" drinks. However, a safe amount of caffeine is different for everyone, as it depends on weight, age, and overall health. This makes it difficult to know the exact amount of caffeine it would take for you to overdose. What if, you can control the caffeine intake now with more health benefits by drinking tea instead of coffee?
A cup of Morning Boost contains 80% caffeine compared with one cup of coffee! Besides of avoiding caffeine overdose, the composition of eight super ingredients in Morning Boost helps to boost metabolism, energizes our body, burns calories, improves immunity, antioxidants and curbs appetite. Drink it whenever you want during the day to energy levels up, but avoid after 5pm to influence your night sleep. The research found that drinking 3 to 4 cups of tea a day can cut the chances of a heart attack, protect against heart disease and some cancers. The fluoride found in tea also protects our teeth.
Every time you eat or drink, you are either feeding disease or fighting it. So start your day right and kick start your health conscious journey by replacing 2-3 coffee with 3-4 Morning boost (4-6 for heavy coffee drinker or athletes / high performance professionals) over the day. Take care of your body because it's the only place you have to live in to fight for your dream.

PUB - Water Conservation
How would life be without water?
Watching this video reminds me those days where our parents faced shortage of water supply. It was so inconvenient to live without water supply. Climate change in recent years has made water security more difficult and costly to achieve.
As compared to the countries like Brazil and India, where they are facing imminent water shortages, we are lucky still to be able to get water from our faucets. Currently, there are 1.6 billion people live in countries and regions with absolute water scarcity and this number is growing day by day.
Here's what usually I do to to save water. Try not to toss away the excess rice water, keep them in a lidded glass jar and store in the refrigerator. Once cooled, it will be a potent ingredient for crystal clear skin and super-shiny hair. Sometimes I use it for foot bath or face rinse too. My family's practice is to run the washing machine only on a full load; also collect the rinse water after washing the vegetables for flushing the toilet.

Monthly update - December
Hello December! I know I've been busy for quite some time and I swear I will do more blog updates on this coming New Year. =) It was so crowded in town area as everyone out for their Christmas shopping and celebrations. I'm hiding in my little cosy room now and enjoying my sweet time with wifi and home-cook dinner. One of my hobby is - rolling on my bed.
In this lovely season, cuddle your beloved ones and spend your precious moment together. Give your grandparents a call and say "I love you" to your parents! Let's do it!
Mossimoto : Perfect personalized gift
Christmas is around the corner and everyone seems started to shop for their Christmas presents. A lot of stores start selling their Christmas gift sets, but I'm a person who prefer a special customized gift like this instead of hand balm or shower sets that you can find everywhere. =(
I love plants and I always do. I used to have three plants in my Apple office last time as I have a big table for them. I'm happy to have a Mossarium in my new office as it is super easy to keep and no water needed. Most importantly - it looks super cool and it makes me happy!
