A friend of mine has recently moved into her new 2000 sq. ft. apartment. I was invited to her housewarming last weekend. I really love how she decorated her apartment. One thing that caught my eyes are the cute chalkboard self storage bins in her children’s room. My friend uses the bins to store the toys, books and other knick-knacks in the room. I would love to get a few for my bathroom or kitchen. The chalkboard bins are available at Rhbabyandchild.com.

I just found something really cool to help the weight-conscious to manage their weight. It is a Meal Measure from Amazon.com. It is very easy to use. The Meal Measure fits most dinner plates and measure the food right on the plate. Each cavities of the Meal Measure are labelled vegetable or fruit, meat, starch and protein. Each Meal Measure cavity is one cup at the top with a one-half cup line inside. It follows the USDA My Pyramid serving size. Dishwasher safe. So if you do not wish to overeat, get one today.

I am in the mood for some retail therapy and hopped over to Ann Taylor. Boy, my heart was palpitating, just like when I first found the best blackhead remover. Its collection is just awesome. I just want to get my hands on the sweaters (I know, it is too warm over here to wear them), tops, pants and just about everything. Below are a few pieces which I love.
Cascading Flower Cardigan
Dolman Sleeve V Top
Brilliant Blue Modern Skinny Leg Jeans

I am a sticky note person. I love using sticky notes at work and at home. I guess it’s an age thing. I am at a stage where I tend to forget easily. Hence, sticky notes save my day. I have them all over my desk to remind me of some deadlines and in my kitchen to remind me of my groceries. So, when I saw these cute sticky notes from UrbanOutfitters.com, I know I need to get some. A set of this 5 ultra-cute mini sticky notes come together in a notepad and each one has a playful themed graphic. With these cute sticky notes, you can keep yourself reminded of your appointments, chores, when to buy human growth hormone or return a telephone call in style.

I stumbled upon these beautiful and unique leather handled carry bags from SwarmHome.com. These bags are made by hand using vintage oil paintings which were sourced from Belgium and Dutch Flea markets. Each bag is a work of art. They are strong, versatile and spacious. The bags are designed to show signs of wear with use and age so that their stories live on. I like the one with a long handle.

I cannot wait to watch No Regrets (Rosy Business Part 2). I have been waiting for this series to be released for so long. All my favourite casts from Rosy Business are back in this 32-episode drama. No Regrets is replacing The Comeback Clan. Is this the final drama for TVB for the year 2010? I wonder if Wayne Lai will be taking the Drama King title like last year. Ok, first, I would go wash my face, put on some anti wrinkle lotion, get ready some snacks and then make myself a cuppa. No Regrets, here I come.
Sypnosis
Guangzhou is in a state of political turmoil in the 1930s. Gangsters are on a rampage and opium trading becomes rampant. As they watch the illicit profits from opium trading escalate, the government forms the Anti-Smoking Bureau under the guise of suppressing opium, but the bureau is under the influence of CHENG LONG-KWAN (Yueh Hua), the gang’s kingpin. His eldest daughter CHENG KAU-MUI (Sheren Tang Shui Man) who is an unscrupulous person soon returns from Shanghai to reap the rewards. MUI meticulously plans her every move.
On the other hand, LAU SING (Wayne Lai Yiu Cheung) is the leader of the Criminal Investigation Team. He has worked hard all his life to ensure an easy trail for his family, especially for his bed-ridden younger sister LAU CHING (Fala Chen). Despite his hot temper, he values friendship and brotherhood more than anything else. Once, he almost sacrificed his life to help his timid teammate, TONG KAT (Pierre Ngo).
It is fated that MUI and SING should meet each other and survive many calamities. It is also fated that both are fierce contenders who will never give in, although mutual understanding and affection slowly grows between them.
Meanwhile, the Japanese army invades China and Guangzhou falls into the hands of the Japanese. MUI enters the darkest time in her life when her aunt CHENG LONG-HEI (Susan Tse) frames her.
Will SING always be by her side?

I know I should be looking for the best weight loss pills as I need to lose 5 pounds at least before the end of the month (miracle?) but I cannot help not posting about what I just saw. I do not know what has gotten into me lately because I just cannot take my eyes off wedges. I have been thinking a lot about them and visualizing how I would look in a pair of clogs. Here are a few of my favourite designs.
Osaka Wood Wedge from Free People
Swedish Clog by Swedish Hasbeens from Free People
The Westway clog from Madewell

In the mid 90′s, I bought myself a clear tote bag from Esprit. I loved the bag as it was big and I can fit many things inside it. Of course the contents of the bag were visible to many people. I usually kept my things in a medium size fabric bag and then put the said bag into the clear tote. I want a little bit of privacy especially when it comes to my makeup set, hoodia gordonii pills or my purse which I carry in my bag. Alas, after a few months, the plastic turned yellowish and I discarded it. Earlier today when I was at the mall, I saw a lady carrying a Polo Ralph Lauren Clear Pony Tote. It sure brought back memories of my Esprit bag. Now I am really interested in getting this Clear Pony Tote.
