In the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, health has taken center stage in the lives of many, including my own family.
The past few years have been a journey of heightened health consciousness, particularly since both my parents contracted the virus.

While they have recovered, their health hasn't been the same as before.

This experience has made me more vigilant about seeking out effective supplements to bolster their immune systems and prioritize their overall well-being, with a special focus on respiratory health.

I stumbled upon GKB Tiger Milk Mushroom, a fungus health supplement developed by GK Bio International Sdn Bhd, a company specializes in probiotics and fungus health products with certifications including GMP, MeSTI, ISO 9001, ISO 22000 and HACCP to guarantee highest product safety, quality and manufacturing standards.

If you've been following my previous posts, click HERE, you might recall that I've shared insights about GKB products before.

GKB Tiger Milk Mushroom specifically aims at relieving cough, cold and sinusitis; a good thing to have now, because a lot of people are worried about breathing problems in the current climate.

As Malaysians gain more knowledge about skincare and become more mindful of the products they use, there is a growing interest in formulations containing natural ingredients that are less likely to cause skin sensitivities and irritations.
Taking this into account, Herbalife, a renowned health and wellness company and community dedicated to enhancing people's lives through great nutrition products and business opportunity since 1980, introduces the Herbal Aloe Personal Care Range.

This range offers nature's nurturing essence of aloe vera, alongside other calming plant-based extracts and botanical compounds.

Together, these components harmonize to rejuvenate and protect the skin, providing a skincare regimen aligned with holistic wellness, allowing people to look and feel their best. 

I've been a Herbalife fan since my late twenties when it was introduced to me by a friend.

I was drawn to their protein products for years, and I particularly appreciate their commitment to quality and efficacy.

Glad to know that they are now launching a  comprehensive personal care line infused with Aloe Vera, which has always been my all-time favourite for soothing and calming my skin.

So, without further ado, let's check out the new Herbal Aloe Personal Care Range.

I've never been to Japan before. #surprise?!
But I've heard many great things about the country from people around me who had visited multiple times.

These days, more and more people are focused on staying healthy.

They're always looking for new and smart ways to boost their overall healthy and energy.

Eating healthy food, and exercising regularly are important, but I personally believe that taking daily supplements is also important for maintaining good health.

Recently, while I was shopping at Watsons, I came across Haircarebear that really caught my attention.

What first stood out to me were their cute, colourful packaging. 

I also found it interesting that their supplements come in the form of gummy candies.

Plus, they have a a wide range of supplements that claim to support different aspects of our health.

Just imagine how fascinated I was by the brand, I received a special invitation from Haircarebear to their big launch event on Wednesday.

It was sad to hear, especially for girls.
Though I'm not very sure how bad eczema can affect the everyday activities, I hope my little sharing for today could be another solution for you, perhaps?!



The Olive Tree was founded in 2015 by parents of the kids who suffering from eczema.

No matter how often the parents clean the house to minimize the dust and dirt, such as changing the bed sheets, sunning the quilts and pillows, the skin problem in the kids is still exists.
Till the sister found the plant based soap bars which is free from petrochemicals (harmful chemicals in body care products could be one of the triggers for the kid's eczema) while she was travelling in Australia.
After using the soap bars, they noticed a great improvement on the kid's skin, also the soap bars help to improve the very dry and itchy skin that the mum has.
Since then, they never stop buying these natural soap bars as well as shampoos and body lotions every time they visit to Australia.
They realized there was a demand for body and skincare products which made from natural ingredients as their friends were having a hard time finding them in Malaysia.
Hence, that inspired them to bring in these great natural body and skincare products as an alternative to commercially produced products laden with potential harmful chemicals, detergents and unnecessary additives.



Olive oil is one of the Mother Nature’s most precious gifts, with a long history as a healthy remedy for skincare and also culinary benefits.
It is the core ingredient for all of The Olive Tree products to create the most natural, authentic and affordable skincare products for the discerning consumer.

My thoughts on Pure Olive Soap
The bar of soap is hard and less likely to become soft after used.
Since it won't become mushy and soft easily,  I believe it can last for quite a long time.
Also, there isn't any smell from the soap, however it left my skin very moisturized after that.

Lavender Chamomile Shampoo is suitable for?
Lavender Chamomile shampoo is great for sensitive skin or scalp.
It's so mild and gentle that making it also suitable for babies, young kids and eczema and psoriasis skin types too.



My thoughts on Lavender Chamomile Shampoo
I don't really like to use the organic hair care products because I always think organic hair products are not good in the fragrance. I like good smells on my hair. :)
Yet, this lavender shampoo changed my mind as it has a very light scent of lavender and leaving my hair so cleaned and refreshed after that.
It stated that it has less foam when washing, but I find it has almost the same foam like the other conventional shampoos I used before.
Overall, I really like this products and would like to get the conditioner as well for the extra softness on my hair!
