The Art of Present Wrapping.
The whole experience of buying gifts is truly, a gift. From choosing something that represents and speaks to the person, to figuring out how to wrap it. I enjoy the wrapping the most.
This year bubble wrap spoke to me. It said pick me for wrapping! Fun, playful & what you see is what you get:)
Lovely.
A Declaration.
It’s time to let go of ways of being that have not served me or others well. I’d like to stop being a ball of contradiction.
I’ll probably always appreciate the beauty of both sides, and see things from both ways. Both a curse and a blessing.
But I know I must learn how to make a decision as to what’s true to my heart, and stick by things. No matter.

This Christmas …. (a shopping experience)
Strolling through the shops, I realized this Christmas, I’d like to really support unique brands that don’t come from some corporate mass-produced machine.
The ones that have the heart and soul… Such talent, and they’re all starting small, some even without a proper shop… The ones that make me feel like it’s going to something worthwhile…Here’s a list off the top of my head:)
http://www.kashu-boutik.com: started by two french girls, very well put together and reasonable
http://www.doofindustries.com/ :started by some crazy couple :))
http://www.boodabub.com/ : Started by a Thai lady who is pregnant, children’s clothings made from ikea-like fabric
http://www.thirtyfour.net/ : Started by my best friend, and her thirty-three cousins:D going places…
http://www.art4soul.org/ : Started by designers, their latest project is Hope. Buy the book or the t-shirt and share hope with a loved one:)
http://tinytapir.com/ : Started by some eco-friendly ppl, I recommend the mooncup;)
Best place for gift-wrapping:
http://www.cziplee.com/plus/ Figuring out how to wrap the presents, cziplee plus presents a soothing environment to let ur imagination take flight
Best place for a cuppa after:
The bread shop in Damansara Heights. You can even buy some lovely poinsettias back home to give home that christmas cheer and spirit:)
