Review: Tweezerman Tweezers


I have never owned a pair of Tweezerman tweezers in my life until recently.  I always thought this brand can not be any more superior than the other ones I've used and tried. I mean, they all pluck out hair - how hard can that be? And now I understand why people say that Tweezerman is the Rolls Royce of tweezers. True story.

First of all, let me just say, I think I have the cutest pair of Tweezerman tweezers. This is the Cheetah Orange from their Electric Safari collection. Adorable, right? :)


What I absolutely loved about it when I first tried it was that I didn't need a strong grip or give it a major squeeze when plucking out hair. I had a Solingen which gave my thumb and pointer finger cramps after using it.


The slanted tip really gets to the shortest stubbiest hair.


Such an amazing tool. I will never stray away from these. I absolutely love it.


Best thing about this is that I got it for just USD11.00 or Php478.00 from Sephora (a pair of full-sized Tweezerman tweezers go for about USD20.00 to USD25.00). Great deal, no? I should get another pair for my makeup kit...

Locally, Tweezerman is available at Beauty Bar.

Shall We Read Between The Lines?

This is what H&M announced on Twitter:


I just had to ask:


To my surprise, H&M answered:


I asked again:


Of course, they didn't answer my last question. Great way to leave me hanging and excited. And they leave me no choice but to read between the lines. Did they just say they will open soon? What do you think?

Tea Crazy

I've been obsessing over tea sets lately. Maybe it's because of the gazillion biscuits we received last Christmas. I just have this dreamy idea in my mind of having tea and biscuits. Hahaha. I've been looking for the perfect tea set but I haven't found one that I really, really like. I want something dainty but not too girly so no huge flowery designs please.

As I browsed online, I found this:
Joyce Chen 5-piece Flared Teapot Set
I like it but I want a more classic design like this:
Pfaltzgraff Winterberry Small Ceramic Tea Set
I actually want the teacups' body more curved but the designs of those kinds are too girly girly for me. This is actually still girly but tolerable. Maybe a plain one in white would be perfect. Or really boring.

But this is what actually caught my attention:
Kikkerland Robot Tea Infuser and Dip Tray
And this:
Kikkerland Monkey Tea Infuser and Dip Tray
Cute, no? Add this:
le mouton noir & co Doggy Hanger
I also would love to have this:
Norpro Porcelain Tea Bag Dispenser
Do you know where I could find a really nice tea set? Please point me to the right direction. If all else fails, I already asked my courier in the US if it is okay to ship breakables and they said yes. But I'm really hoping to find one locally as I don't want to receive broken pieces. You never know, right?

Let's see where my current obsession will take me. Help, please!
