Against the Odds: An Autobiography of James Dyson

For someone who have never use a vacuum cleaner before and never feel the need to get one, I read this autobiography from James Dyson, who is the famous inventor of dual cyclone bagless vacuum cleaner. 

I grew up without carpet in my house, so the cleaning method was always sweep and mop. When I got an apartment in Japan with carpet flooring, I just got myself a sticky roll to roll away all the dust, luckily I was in that apartment for only one year, I couldn't stand carpet flooring, I felt that it was too dusty and in my mind, anything that is not cleaned using water is not clean!

Kose Cosmeport Clear Turn White Sheet Mask

One thing I noticed in Japan was that the sheet masks are more varied than in Malaysia. Although some high end sheet masks are really expensive, most major brands came out with cheaper alternatives, like the Kose Cosmeport Clear Turn White Sheet Mask. For a box of 5, it normally cost 500 yen or less in some discount stores. It is quite affordable and the quality is good compared to the price. So, this is the sheet mask I bought when I was in Japan. 

Although I have acne prone skin, my skin is actually on the dry side. So, this moisturizing mask is quite useful for me. During the winter months when the heater is on most of the time, applying a sheet mask like this really soothes the skin.
