Eden's Paradise Lip Cream in Nude Teddy





Remember the last time I raved about Eden's Paradise Lip Custard Cream in Winterberry?  I still wear it on days I don't want to transfer my lip product to anything (aka Kyle's school days) and I like how it doesn't transfer on my coffee mug too!  I enjoy piling it from 2-5 layers without looking like a "walking lips"

Just a bit after a month, who would've thought the brand created another shade that I call my daily staple?  Just check out this super gorgeous shade from the same Lip Cream line called NUDE TEDDY.

(out of topic: Why do I always think about a Nude Teddy Bear whenever I wear this shade?)

AMW Cooks: Crispy Spring Rolls (Pork and Beansprouts)




Do you appreciate how your Crispy Spring Rolls (lumpiang Shanghai) tastes completely different no matter how many times you cook it?  

Well, for me it is!  I seldom do measurements and cook depending on my mood so it gets better each and every time!  So I was in a phase of "in love with beansprouts" so I've decided to mix the usual Sprint Rolls filling with beansprouts!  Who would've thought just a simple change could totally vamp up a simple dish?

Just like make-up, being creative in cooking will open up so much possibilities of newer dishes!

Introducing: AMW's Crispy Spring Rolls with Pork and Beansprouts


Ingredients:

  • Ground Pork
  • Carrots
  • Onions
  • Beansprouts
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 2 tablespoon soy sauce
  • Spring roll wrapper
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • Oil for frying

Believe in the Power of Tea with Rituali Tea




I have always believed in the power of Tea, especially since I lived in China for 3 long years!  I've been to a "tea" factory and had expensive tea sessions with my students and learned the importance each tea variant gives!  That's why I am NOT surprised when Beauty Companies tap on the power of "tea" to beautify us not only on the inside but also on the outside.

Origins have recently launched their RitualiTea face and Body mask range.

The face masks come in a tin can while the body mask comes in a squeeze-type tube!  Each variant is color-coordinated and each variant has a specific function meant for specific skin types.

Because I Want to Live More...




Hello AMW Friends, I'm Nikki Tiu (aka AskMeWhats, Ms. AMW, Mrs. AMW, AskMeMom).
A lot of my friends wonder how I go through my life each day, when I tell them, I tend to ask myself too: "How do I manage my day?"  

With a lot of help of course!  Before I share to you some of my secrets to stay sane amidst the crazy daily schedule, let me tell you first what I do.. aside from being "Your Friendly AMW neighborhood" of course!


Stripped off from all the glamour of makeup, I wake up every morning and send my son to Preschool.  The school is quite far from where I live so I've decided to wait for him half a day instead of driving back and forth.

They #OwnIt and Are Now Living the Dream!




So can you!
End of 2015, I claimed to my good friends that I will be starting my AMW Workshop Series because it has been my dream for too long (5 years to be exact!).  It may not be a big dream for Big Fishes (businessmen) out there but for me, it meant so much to me it gives me the goosebumps, butterflies in the stomach just thinking about that dream.

Now the year is almost ending and my dream literally unfolded right in front of me!
