St Ives & Burt’s Bees

October 7, 2010 – 4:52 pm

If anybody from Watson’s, Guardian or other pharmacies is reading this, can I know why we have so little St Ives products on our shelves?

I want to open a shop just to sell their products since nobody is carrying the full range. Just take a look at their site.

WHY?

It uses natural ingredients, it is paraben and phosphate free. It is good and affordable.

I’ve been looking high and low for their olive facial cleanser. All I found was scrub and products mainly for blemishes and acnes.

Why not sell more of St Ives products? Good products should be affordable to all like St Ives.

Failing to find the St Ives cleanser, I have resorted to getting a cleanser from Burt’s Bees. Made of 100% natural ingredients and paraben free as well.

It is slightly more expensive (about RM51) but still cheaper than the organic facial foam I’m using now from branded stores.

I still save about RM30 by switching to Burt’s Bees, but I could have saved more if we have more St Ives products in Malaysia.

Month full of birthdays and projects

September 2, 2010 – 3:29 pm

Do I love August?
It’s the time of the year I go broke. There are at least 5 birthdays in this month alone. I’m not counting friends’ birthdays because I don’t celebrate birthday with friends. These are family and extended family members, including my beloved.

I’m glad the month is over and I’m grateful to have completed a few freelance projects. It helps to supplement my spending on birthday celebrations.

Most freelancers will require upfront partial payment, but out of good will, I never collect money from clients, especially clients through referrals. I want to trust my clients that they will not cheat me.

I think “trust” is important to maintain a fair and good working relationship. The work gets done, the client is happy and I’m happy.
