Cute and sweet companion for life anyone?
I have been going crazy clearing out as much work as possible before my Vancouver trip but seems like someone wanted to challenge me a little bit more by throwing a typhoon into my schedule. Exciting (yet nerve breaking!)
However, I would still like to take some times to share with you some delightful pictures of the puppies over at Hong Kong Dog Rescue where I’ve recently joined and volunteered to take doggie portrait for them. Please meet~

You can tell from the pictures that they are so full of character, energy and happiness. And these are just a small sample of all the cute and loving doggies who are waiting for their own homes. Would it be yours? (Check out their website for more doggies to find the perfect one for you)
A little bit about HKDR:
Hong Kong Dog Rescue (HKDR) was first set up as a Society in 2002 for the specific purpose of saving dogs from the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD) government kennels, and in March 2005 gained full charity (non-profit) status. It is run by founder, Sally Andersen, and the many dedicated volunteers with the aim of rescuing, rehabilitating and re-homing as many of the thousands of abandoned and unwanted dogs and puppies as possible. What started as a one-person mission has now become one of Hong Kong’s most active and successful dog re-homing organisations.
You can find out more by visiting their website. Even if you can’t adopt a dog (it’s a lifetime commitment and no joking matter), they are constantly looking for help in every ways (donation, volunteering…etc)
Last but not least, Lane Crawford Home Store in Pacific Place will be showcasing HKDR’s 2010 diary and calendar, as well as T-shirts, tribute books and lots of other great merchandise.
Come and see HKDR’s latest merchandise between Thursday, 24th September and Thursday, 8th October to check out all the latest HKDR gear. Store opening hours are from 10am to 9pm, every day!
p.s. Every Sunday between 2-5pm, Sally would bring some puppies for adoption to Whiskers and Paws in Horizon Plaza, Ap Lei Chau. You are welcome to go visit and play with them in person whether you are to adopt or not. It’s always good to socialize the puppies with human and have positive experience with us.

drugstore skincare gem
yes, I am a drugstore skincare junkie as I am not a big believer of paying high price that goes into the marketing budget. Anyway, here are some latest discovery:
1. Sana pore vacuumer HK$65
This is especially designed for the nose. Once you cover your nose with it, use a little bit of water to massage and the gel would warm up…it claims to open up your pore and draw out the impurity. Tried it once tho I didn’t really feel as “vacuumy” as it should be but nose felt smoother afterward. However, I think I will just stick with the pore brightener below as the vacuumer is not as effective as I’d expected. (Thought it would be more heavy duty since it’s targeting the nose…the source of problem for most combination skin)
2. Seikisho pore brightener HK$130
This is similar to the pore vacuumer above but it’s designed for the entire face. Yet, no water is required as you just massaged it on your face til it turns from black to grey. The gel heats up a little and it comes with some fine scrub. Face feels smoother instantly and the hydrating mask works better afterward I think.
3. AquaMoist Hyaluronic Acid serum HK$135
I’ve actually been using Hyaluronic Acid (HA) since a few years back when I started DIY-ing my own skincare. HA is actually something that acts likes like a sponge and could suck up water as much as 1600 times of its own mass. The theory is that once you put this on your face, it will draw water into you skin. However, you have to be careful:
i. prep your skin before hand with moisturizing toner before putting it on. Afterward seal it with cream. This is to prevent it from drawing water from your own skin.
ii. Don’t use it at high concentration or it will actually do damage to your skin.
It’s so much cheaper to DIY but I got lazy. Will start doing it after I finished this bottle.
4. Nuxe Toning lotion with 3 roses HK$180
Found this brand while me and chrissy was in Paris years ago…I think she was going for their bodyoil which is another great product. Anyway, I’ve been using their toner religiously since it smells good and feels good. This is a newer version with more flower essence added. Sometimes I just soak this stuff up with a capsulated paper mask and turn it into a quick hydrating mask. Works really great especially during the summer.
