EGYPT’S SECRET OF THE DESERT

 

Aromatic Oils in Designed Bottles

Before my flight back to Thailand, I get to stop by at one of the perfume shops outside the Pyramids of Giza.  In there were special blends of aromas named after the kings, queens, and other exotically beautiful names so irresistibly fragrant I could hardly leave the shop without having one to bring home.

However, they’re not just bottles and oils as a couple of my Egyptian friends said.  Perfumery has been a part of their culture and history—a ritual for gods and pharaohs. It’s said to be that the gods favored the ones most alluringly perfumed.  No wonder the kings and queens’ tombs were surrounded with perfume.  Perfume history’s quite interesting it made its way to one of the most luxurious industry nowadays.

Although I’m just all the whiff of colognes wherever I go, but I opt to at least get hold of one perfume bottle before coming home.   Then I came for one enticing aroma, the Secret of the Desert.  It is a natural aphrodisiac/ pheromone common to desert floras. The salesman said it’s named after Sahara, which is the Arabic name of the desert.  Just like Sahara amidst the torrid weather, lies many wondrous secrets far more unexplained.  Whatever this perfume’s going to make you when you wear it, it’s nothing to be surprised about.  Secret of the Desert is working its magic.

If you ever care of spending some naughty nights and intimate weekends, experiment on a few drops from this bottle.  It might not just as well elicit your desire—its scent could bring you to hell.  Then you’ll see that fire burns so so so sweet.

Never get to miss the Secret of the Desert’s fragrance when you pay Egypt a visit someday.  This aromatic experience is one best thing you’ll never forget.

EGYPT: MY HISTORICAL ADVENTURE

 

        When we talk about Egypt, the first thing people have in mind is the pyramids—its history and mystery.  Maybe we just used to sit in class and listen to our teachers tell us about it and wonder how it would feel when you get on a camel ride, gaze at those giant pyramids, and walk on the desert.  

        It’s springtime when I spent a holiday in Egypt.  Freezing to the bones at night and hot as hell at day.  With the intense weather I feel like coming home to Thailand the week after.  My friend asked me why in the world I went to Egypt.  Well, maybe it’s just one of the things I want to do before I die—explore history.

        What always comes with me is my eagerness for the vague.  Guess that’s how the pyramids became famous—it gets people to think of its mystery beneath the shape.

 However, a journey to Egypt wasn’t about digging into the mystery like a few of the foreign wanderers.  I favor leaving the unknown as it is.  There are things in life that should leave us wondering.  Some things known and some things unknown.  There will always be opposites—it’s nature.

A vacation in Egypt is for one reason that someday I can tell myself that once upon a time in my life I WAS ONCE THERE because I believe that I can always make things happen with the faith I have in MYSELF.

HOW I WILL MEET LUCIFER (PART 1)

When my friend told me we're having a date with Lucifer.  The first thing I asked her, "Should I wear a formal dress?"  I wonder what it's gonna be like meeting Lucifer.  Will the food be irresistible?  With my craze over AKCENT, INNA, LOVEMAKERS, and other Latin techno bands, I wonder if he will ever play a thing from them.  Will we be amazing on the dance floor? Will this night be like no other nights when you'll just be merry thinking no tomorrow's coming?

Who couldn't marvel about Lucifer?  Everybody thinks he's from the depths of hell.  I will be waiting till I will meet Lucifer and when that night comes, it's going to be a a night like no other--MY DELICIOUS NIGHT WITH LUCIFER.  Or I'll only stay to wonder.

Don't ask me who he is... WE WILL KNOW.

GO ORGANIC…MY NEW BEAUTY REGIMEN SECRET

Well, this shouldn’t be a secret anymore.  The fact that I’m gonna be sharing it then that would probably mean you could be a narcissist bunny as I am.

My friends have been asking me what I really opt for a beauty regime products.  That’s just crazy co’z I almost tried anything girls- love- to- do stuff (FROM HEAD TO TOES).  Well, I’m never afraid of experimenting new things I can find in the market.  This is where I get to know what works well on me and what’s just not.

Until an organic beauty products came to life then I begun using it.  I realized I couldn’t just go vain without being conscious from chemical sensitivities.  I could look good, but that just doesn't save the day.  It's expensive paying the dermatologists on your allergies.

What you can find  in my set are ORGANIC stuff my friend brought me from Korea: BB Powder SPF 25 (200 baht), FACE IT BB Cream SPF 20 (350 baht), and  CO-Q10 Face Mask (80 baht).  So what else should there be?  Oh yeah, I use honey and olive oil on my face as my moisturizer.

Wanna save a penny?  Why not go natural?  Go organic.  Be beautiful the healthy way.

HAVING A HEALTHY NARCISSISM: ON TREATING YOURSELF RIGHT WITH OR WITHOUT MEN

This is dedicated to my girlfriends who asked me WHY I ALWAYS LOOK WORRY-FREE.   Well, what more could there be than having self-love?  We did experience that  life and love isn't always pleasant and we all have a piece of mind to share.  At the end of the day, it still ends up with you--it's either you end up battling with yourself or still holding on to that joy within yourself no matter what. In other way, I would say, set your own MOOD--set your own MIND--save your own LIFE.  If you have great control over your mind,  you can ROCK your own world.

At times, we take time to sit and chat like... "He hardly spends time with me, Ann."  "It's me who always calls him, Ann."  "He's always partying, Ann."  Sounds familiar?  Yeah.  And boring.  Fuck love if you're tired trying.  Love burns bright then die.  Wake up, girls.  Life isn't just about boys. We are born to be social butterflies and party animals. I'm not quoting the idea to be rude about boys.  But if you keep that joy blazing within you with or without him, you'll never wither.  If he's out having fun, celebrate!  Treat yourself.  Hung out with your girlfriends.  Visit the salon.  Do your nails.  Jog.  Go swimming.  Dance your heart out.  We all need special time for ourselves.

It's good to have him hung out once in a while and let him enjoy with his guy friends.  UNLESS HE'S SICK TO BE WITH HIS FRIENDS WITH PERKS who turns out their hung-outs to be honey talks, flirty gazes, and nasty business.  Then you probably know what to do.   He can't make you feel dumb.  With your emotional intelligence, you'll still see without your eyes.

If you feel you're not treated the way you should be treated, I feel you, friends.  At least you still have that self-love left to realize you're much worthy above all else. Don't expect him to love you the way you love him.  Just let him love you his own way.  We speak different language in love.  But above all things, always love yourself.  Please yourself as much as you can.

Take great care of yourself, girlfriends.  Be proud of yourself.  Look at the mirror and tell yourself that you're such a darling.  Go out and meet wonderful people.  Remember, we can always learn from each other.

To my girlfriends in a relationship, be happy with your man while not forgetting yourself.  To my girlfriends out for a hunt, bet you need to hunt for more.

Cheers to you, girlfriends.   I love being around you and I love listening to your stories. Yeah, we do fall like crazy at times.  Just the way I fall in love with myself,  my man, and other guysssssssssssssssss.... Uh-uh.  Don't think bad.  They are wonderful wizards in my life.  WINK
