1. Popo is adopted! From who I shan't publicize, but close friends know. 
2. She's a pedigree Papillon.
3. She was imported from Japan.

6. Tampopo means dandelion (蒲公英) in Japanese. Not the damned ramen.

[sponsored review] MegRhythm Steam Eye Mask

Sample Store must have known I was going through a very stressed period recently. My (very nice) manager had just left last month and in came a new one to replace him. No idea which rubbish dump they picked him up from. All I know is, he's a complete asshole and has officially pissed off every single one in the company, me bearing the brunt of it cos I have to cover his duties. FML.

Anyway, they sent me four boxes of these eye masks. Each box contains 5 masks and I received one Lavender, one Rose, one Chamomile, and one unscented. It's a revolutionary patented new product that relieves, relaxes and brightens eyes in just 10 minutes! Great for people like me who have to stare at the computer screen for long hours everyday.

Initially I thought it was like those facial masks, wet and dripping with essence (:X). I tried the lavender one the same night I received them, and when I opened it, I was surprised to find something similar to those travel night masks. There are also ear loops so that the mask will fit snugly on your eyes without falling off.

I put it on and you know what? IT STARTED HEATING UP!! Gradually of course. But it was nice and comfortable, with a subtle soothing lavender scent in the air. So comfy that I fell asleep lol.

Supposedly it will heat up to 40 degrees Celsius (I didn't think it was this hot actually), and the steam produced from the heat moistens the skin area around the eye, relieving tired eyes.  Here's a short clip to demonstrate the heat/steam.

So far I've tried all the 4 varieties and my favorite is the lavender. I always fall asleep using that. Oops.

For more information on this amazing product, do check out Kao's website. You can request for samples there, and also from Sample Store! Alternatively, you can get them at $6.50 per box at Guardian and Watsons outlets. How convenient!

C.U. @ Scape

It's another day out for Popo yesterday! We headed down to Scape for the Clubpets event. Supposed to head down today with SSD, but I seriously dislike going out on Sundays, so I went down with Rita (and her poodle Pebbles) instead. :)

We only hung out at the air-conditioned white tent, which was super small and only had 10 or so booths. Was feeling utterly disappointed. But I remembered seeing a map with lots of booths, so I think we didn't explore enough. What a waste! >.< Anyway, we spent about an hour or so there, majority of the time we were actually sitting on the steps outside talking. Hais.

Here's what we got.

• Happytails Dry Dog Instant Clean - This one I bought. My second bottle already. I use this to clean her feet everytime we come back from walkies. 
• #1 All Systems Ear So Fresh - Might give this a try. *shrugs*
• Nutripe Lamb & Green Lamb Tripe - Might let her try this since it's so hard to get fresh tripe here in Singapore. I still don't like preserved food though. 
• Taste of the Wild Wetlands Canine Formula - She was on TOTW Pacific Salmon when she first came to me. Gonna give this away though.
• Nutra Gold Duck & Sweet Potato - Giving this away too. 
• Vitakraft Turkey Soft-Snack - I don't really like Vitakraft, but it claims to be 96% pure meat, so I might just give it a try. Expiring soon though. Tsk!
• Orijen Tundra Freeze Dried treats - Orijen is one of the better brands so I'm definitely feeding this.

And the free towel too. Lol. I'm feeling quite frustrated now cos I've missed out a lot of the booths. WHY DIDN'T I EXPLORE MORE?! Sobs. The only consolation is that my main goal of going there was to get the Happytails spray, which I did. So mission accomplished. Lol.

I guess pet events like this aren't really for me. I mean, I don't need kibbles, treats, clothes, accessories, or grooming stuff. And she hardly spoils her toys so I don't have to buy them very often. I like free stuff (of course, who doesn't), but treats are still commercial ones and I prefer dehydrated. She also has her own set of grooming products which I don't wish to change. And they don't really give out toys as goodie bags right?

The only good thing would be to allow Popo to interact with other dogs. Quite proud of her today. She didn't tremble and when I put her on leash (cos have to use her bag to hold those freebies), she happily went smelling butts. Didn't anyhow pee or poo and embarrass me too. And and and! She got a lot of compliments! Like "so pretty!" and "so cute!". There was even one guy who said touching her was like touching silk! *proud mama*

Oh wells. Till the next event! =)
