Reporter's eye
I had so much fun during this roadshow, unveiling the hot pink Panasonic Beauty Wagon!
I also got a chance to recommend and introduce my favorite Panasonic Beauty products to people
and everyone was sharing tips with me too!
The make-up artist, Ms.Sasiphimol, was incredible with her knowledge of hair and make-up
and she even offered me a make-over!
Hot pink is my color this season for sure, because it's bold and makes a statement,
it is fun and feminine but daring at the same time.
I liked meeting all these new people and also the Beauty Promoters were
so patient and sweet when I asked them so many questions about the
products.
I am excited and looking forward to the next Panasonic Beauty Wagon Event! Catch me there!

Wow! Who knew that in the middle of a densely populated city like Bangkok there would exist a sanctuary like this?
The moment I walked into Na Aroon I felt a sense of ease and peace, and all my anxieties went away.
They even have a hotel and spa! I interviewed Khun Pariya and she is such a gentle and kind lady.
She also manages her staff and menu really well, along with her husband, who is very humorous and friendly to guests,
making tired and hungry travelers feel at home.
I am a meat-eater, I really love to eat meat, but Na Aroon really changed my mind with vegetarian food.
Their food is so flavorful, fresh and different! It tasted so good that I forgot that there was no meat.
I really enjoyed myself at Na Aroon at next time, I will bring my friends and also I want to stay at the hotel.
The entrance to Na Aroon is warm and welcoming, lush with green foliage and birds of paradise.
You can even sit by the pool and eat, or take a swim and order when you are ready to indulge in healthy, tasty Thai cuisine!
The dishes are served and Fai is thrilled to take the first bite!

I enjoyed every moment of being at Chatuchak market.
Firstly, we visited Duchess, a fashion label that blends East and West, Thai inspiration with European influence.
The clothes at Duchess are very feminine and what struck me was how well-tailored every single piece was.
The quality of the fabric really impressed me. Jack is a designer who takes a pride in his work,
and the clothes are at a reasonable price.
I have always loved Chatuchak market, with its up-and-coming street wear and even office attire.
You can mix and match and revamp your style frequently because the products at Chatuchak market are so affordable.
The range of leather goods is wonderful too!
All I can say is, Chatuchak Market is right up my alley!
Beauty Buffet

skin-care products.
Beauty Buffet is different from the regular cosmetics store in their
message, that if food is delicious, then what you put on your skin
should be delicious and natural too.
The products heighten your senses through the various flavors and concoctions.
There is a delectable range of eyeshadow palettes, lipstick, and
skin-care products that are sold in a bakery style boulangerie with
French-style awnings and even a counter that looks like it has a
kitchen in the back.
The female staff look like waitresses with aprons while the male staff look like chefs with tall white hats.

The shop is very cute, I like the color scheme: black, white and pink.
I like the salesladies' outfits and the fact that they sell varieties
of beauty and cosmetic products makes it a one-stop shop for me.
The prices are really affordable for this great quality.
The best part is, the shop was locally owned by a Thai person and operated homegrown brand,
I love to support my own local brands.
I love the Goat's Milk range, it smells really just like it looks: fresh, clean and natural.
It makes me feel like I am taking a luxurious milk bath.
It soothes my skin and makes it soft, and it also has whitening properties that keep my skin looking radiant and translucent.
Another favorite of mine is the raspberry jam scrub, because in London,
I always eat raspberry jam sandwiches when I wake up in the morning, so
when I use the product it reminds me of breakfast and sunshine and it
invigorates me with energy,
even just by the smell of it.
In addition, raspberry has anti-oxidant properties, so it fights free radicals,
especially if you live in the city full of smog and high stress levels.
I can't wait to try my next product at Beauty Buffet! Maybe this time I will try the Honey range.
I love honey too so I am definitely going to try it!
Welcome to the kitchen of Beauty Buffet, where your skincare and makeup is churned out fresh from the "Kitchen"!
The raspberry products cleanse your skin and leave you feeling refreshed!

After a day out at Wat Pho Temple and having such a fabulous time, I told myself that I will definitely come back again.
Seeing the Reclining Buddha was so breath-taking and heartwarming at the same time.
It was breathtaking because it was of such a grand size and the gold was so eye-catching
due to the sunlight coming through the windows.
It was heartwarming because my mother used to take me to pray to the Buddha at temples when I was growing up,
and being in London for a while, I have not had a chance to pray for myself and the people around me.
It was great today to be able to spend some time in quiet
reflection and meditation, expressing my gratitude along with my
regrets and at the same time, handing all my anxieties over.I had a
peace in my heart after being in Wat Pho Temple.
The massage was an interesting experience, I didn't know my body was so
tense and I could hear all my joints cracking with relief.
I wish I could have gotten a longer massage.
The next time I come back I will definitely bring a friend along.
Something as good as this needs to be shared amongst my loved ones!
