You want to turn your man on, and you go straight down for his penis. You are so predictable! There are many other places on his body which you can touch to turn up the heat. Try it and surprise him with how you can make his mind go from “what to have for dinner” straight to “OMG I MUST RAVISH HER” in 10 seconds flat. Here are the other places on his body that turn him on...

Chest
When he’s lying down, place your head on his chest. Men like a woman’s warm breath on their chest. Rest your hand on the other side on his chest and trace your nails down the skin of his chest. It’s a primal turn on.

Nipples
Women often ignore a man’s nipples and assume they simply have no function. In reality, men have very sensitive nipples, in which case gentle kisses and flicks of the tongue will provide great pleasure.

Lower Stomach
Kissing any part of his lower abs is a big turn on because the skin in that area is sensitive and the proximity to the penis often makes men anxious for the kisses to descend a little lower.

Neck
His neck holds thyroid gland which is believed to get stimulated upon gentle caresses and triggers his sexual drive. Lace his neckline, and all along his collarbone with kisses, increasing them in intensity as you go along.

Fingers
Just grab his hand and suck on his finger.Remember to look him straight in the eyes and he'll go crazy. The sensation of sucking will send tingles down his spine, and also, it looks erotically like a blowjob.

Inner Thighs
When you’re seated and having dinner in public, instead of resting your hand on his arm, why not place it on his inner thigh. Periodically, give his inner thigh a slight squeeze, increasing the frequency of squeezes and moving your hand higher up as time passes. This spot will get you both in the mood really fast because you can feel the blood pump right to his genitals with every squeeze you make.

Feet
Now, this area isn’t for everyone. But if you both have no issues with feet, or better still, are turned on by it, then give him a foot massage. It allows him to relax and let go of tension. Do it right and he will want that same relaxing sensation on his penis.

Ears
His ear lobe is an area that has numerous nerve endings. Tease, and titillate by gently caressing it with your fingers, tongue and playfully nibble on it softly with your teeth. While you’re there, let out a soft breath around his ear.

While the coveted Hermès Birkin handbag can typically cost anywhere from $11,550 to an astouding $150,000, the recent selling price of one particular Birkin is breaking records and shocking people everywhere.

So what makes this Birkin especially pricey? Well, the 2008 handbag is hand-sewn from bright red crocodile skin, and its white gold hardware is encrusted in over 10 carats of diamonds. No big deal. Keep reading for more detailed shots of this record-breakingly over-the-top bag.

One of the classiest and most versatile nail art has got to be the french manicure.

Some fashion experts think that the french manicure belongs to the 90s, but it is really making its way back onto the runways again. However, the classic french manicure is now renewed and reimagined, with a fun and quirky touch.

Manicurists are adding their creative touches to the frenchie by playing with colours, textures, and negative space, to breathe modernity into the classic. Here are some of the "new" french manicures that we would love to try out.

As a beauty blogger, I tend to receive quite a number of beauty products on top of the ones which I already own. And as a recovering beauty product hoarder, I can totally understand how you can never seem to use up all of your items. And it is a tragedy when you have to throw out most of your stuff when spring-cleaning because they have expired. It is heart-wrenching to do so especially when the items still look as good as new.

You might even be tempted to use expired makeup or skincare products but hold that thought. Expired products not only work less effectively on your skin but may also damage it. Just think about it, expired products are extremely susceptible to bacterial contamination. This is especially so for those containing water as one of the first ingredients because water provides the perfect breeding ground for bacteria and other microbes. Next on the list are those with plant extracts while products made up of almost no water such as powders will last the longest. If you use mineral makeup which is marked "preservative-free" then its shelf life would be pretty short too.

So when do you decide it is time to throw out your beauty products? As a rule of thumb, if your product’s smell, texture or effectiveness has changed significantly then you should throw it away without a doubt. I understand that various products have shelf life that would vary vastly due to the manufacturing process and also on how the user stores and uses it.

This is a really helpful and general guide I have found online on the shelf-life of most commonly used beauty products:

Liquid and Cream Foundation: 2 years max but some sources say water-based - 1 year, oil-based - 1.5 years.

Powder Foundation: 2 years

Concealer: 1 year

Powder Blush: 2 years

Lipstick: 12 to 18 months but some say up to 3 years... Just look out for tell-tale signs, if it smells rancid then you should throw it out! Keep them refrigerated to prolong shelf life though.

Lipliner: up to 3 years

Eyeshadow: 2-3 years

Eyeliner Pencils: 3 years and should be sharpened regularly.

Mascara: 3 months after opening

These are some easy tips for making your beauty products last.

• DO store products in a cabinet or drawer
• DO wash your hands before using products
• DO tighten/secure the cap after each use
• DO consider how climate and humidity will shorten a product's shelf life
• DO write the date of purchase in permanent ink on the bottom or back of the package
• DO toss out eye products after you've had an eye infection
• DO abide by the expiration dates on sunscreens, acne products, and prescription medications such as topical antibiotics and Renova or Retin-A
• DON'T buy products packaged in jars of any kind, no matter how gorgeous the packaging are because fingers getting into jars add unwanted bacteria to the contents. Most jar packaging carries a 100% risk of bacterial contamination.
• DON'T store products in direct sunlight
• DON'T share your products with others
• DON'T add water or saliva to thin out or remoisten products
• DON'T "pump" your mascara
• DON'T purchase products with broken seals or other signs of tampering

Although the off-shoulder trend gained popularity way back during early to mid 1800s, we usually associate it with the 1980s, with the big hair and Jennifer Beal's Flashdance fashion. This Spring/Summer, off-shoulders have made a big comeback and shoulders are the new décolletage this year.

Instead of looking at the runway, we really prefer to see how the trend can be taken to the street for everyday wear. How are our local bloggers working the trend? Let's get some inspirations for our own wardrobe.

It was the decade post World War II where all things looked bright and optimistic. And of course, the fashion and beauty world followed suit. 1950s was the age of the golden Hollywood girls with rising stars like Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe. The perfect eyebrows, winged-liner, thick lashes, and red lips with the perfect pout was the look of that era.

Instead of admiring the 50s makeup from afar, let us try to incorporate elements of it into our 2016 everyday makeup. Add that touch of vintage classiness with Youtube makeup artist Olla Della.

Just when we thought we can comfortably put them into 2 categories -- big or small, the experts at ThirdLove came up with a Breasts Shape Dictionary to give us a better idea of the different shapes and sizes of our boobs.

Apparently, we aren't differentiated by just our cup sizes. The shape, length, and even the direction each breast is facing make a difference. ThirdLove categorizes our boobs into 9 different types to help us find our perfect bra fit. But no matter which breast type you belong to, I believe that we are all imperfectly beautiful!

Asymmetric

Like what its name suggests, one breast is larger than the other. It is more common than we imagined it to be and in fact, most of us have a certain degree of asymmetry. Unless the difference is very significant, there is no need to get customized bras.

Athletic

Athletic types are less full and are wider. They have more muscular breasts with more tissues.

Bell Shape

Bell shape boobs are slimmer at the top and fuller at the bottom, and this type of boobs requires bras to have more support.

Relaxed

Characterized by downward pointing nipples, the relaxed type are breast with lax tissues.

East West

With each breast facing different directions, this type of breast shape is aptly termed the East West type. They each point outwards, leaving a bigger space in the middle. It is best to wear bras that help to draw the breasts into the centre to provide support and create a cleavage.

Round

Round breast are equally round on top and at th bottom, and they may be the surgically enhanced type, or not. The lucky ones are born with them since they look good in anything!

Side Set

Side set breast have a larger space between them. They are fuller, with forward pointing nipples, as compared to the East West breast type. Get bras that provides more lift and draws breasts into the centre.

Slender

Slender breasts are thinner and have got downward pointing nipples, and they are more long than full. Slender breasts types usually have smaller cup sizes and push up bras are the way to go.

Tear Drop

Just like the shape of a tear drop, they are fuller at the bottom and more slender on top. Tear drop shaped implants are gaining popularity in Korea plastic surgery hospitals in recent years and it seems like the tear drop breast type is one to yearn for, after the round breast.

It’s important to be able to articulate your dream job. Not just for personal reasons, but also for when you’re asked about it in interviews. But, how can you even begin to describe your ideal job, especially to someone who’s clearly going to be judging your response? Just picking a place to start is a head-scratcher.

In fact, it is extremely important to me because I need a lot of smiles, laughs and happiness in my life. Thankfully, a silly joke can make me beam and ROFL. So I guess I am quite easily contented? Just that I may need loads of it! HAHA!

Sometimes, when the partner is being too lazy to even talk much or entertain me, I’ll certainly find ways to entertain both of us. It may be a stupid joke, a clown face or some silly dancing… whatever makes her laugh, makes me happy too. I came up with a new category on the blog “Life Stories of #HerineJesz” to jot down funny, nonsensical things for us to read back when we are old.

So the other day, we were on our way out to run some errands. As we waited for the traffic light under the scorching sun, my sixth sense told me that I needed to lighten the mood before Mrs Blackface (the partner… hee don’t kill me) exploded under the oven sky.

Me: “Dear, let’s play a small little game as we walk!”
Jesz: “What?”
Me: “I’m gonna sing (without any sound coming out at all), then you read my lips and guess what song is that!”
Jesz: “Eh? Ok lor…” *laugh*
Me: mouthing “Let it goo, let it go! Can’t hold me back anyymor-reee!”
Jesz: “……..hmmmmm…….”
Me: “So? What song is this?” Then I sang twice again.
Jesz: “LA LI LO?”
#facepalm

Although she knows so many songs, it’s quite unfortunate she couldn’t guess any songs I attempted to. Despite the unsuccessful attempts, we had fun! Or maybe only I did lol.

What is living life to the fullest for you?

I know life is short, so play hard. But I am generally a very very lazy person and I don’t really like mingling around… So living life to the fullest for me is staying at home, using the computer, playing with the dog and even catching up on dramas.

I know it is hard to believe me when I attend events almost everyday. But it was all because of James! I skipped most of the events when I am single :X That guy loves crowd and staying out so I had to accompany him for that.

Living life to the fullest is actually different for me at different stages of my life. Right now, I only want to stay home and watch Running Man from morning to night. HAHA. Watching Running Man keeps my stress level low because all the episodes are SUPER funny!!! Especially Lee Kwang Soo!!! He may not be ultra handsome but he is SO GOD DAMN FUNNY!!!

I got curious and went to google their age. To my surprise, even the youngest is older than me :O I want to live a life like them. Their job is to have fun and complete every mission given. If I can live my life this way, I will gladly give up staying home for this!!

That aside, I don’t really know how to live life to the fullest. Nothing can really make me happy than seeing my parents happy. Whenever I think of their age…. And wonder how many more 10 or 20 years they have, I will start to feel sad. In order to make their life happier or fuller, I always give them whatever I can. Whenever I have a voucher for anything like shoes or shopping vouchers, I will bring them out and let them pick whatever they want even though I already had something I want in mind. So all in all, I guess living my life fullest means having happy and healthy parents.

After all, nobody loves you as much as how your parents do :)

Oh P/S, my life will never be complete without a dog in the house. Hehe.

With so many things tightly jam-packed in every way I can in my wardrobe, I sometimes couldn’t even find the clothes that I want to wear or it just looks crumpled when I pull it out. So annoying isn’t it? I am sure many of you will have this common problem. So let me show you a good way to organize your wardrobe.

Remove all of the clothes from your closet. Take all of your clothes off their hangers and out of any bins or drawers in your closet. Fold them in piles on the floor or on your bed.

I am sure you will find many surprises like clothes that you forgotten you had and probably clothes that you wonder why is it still in your wardrobe.

You need to divide your clothes in to 3 piles: Donate to charity, Keep Or throw away.

Decide which clothes you will keep. The clothes you will keep are the clothes that you wear on a regular basis and clothes that you would miss if they weren't in your closet. If you've worn a certain item in the last week, month, or even few months, you should hold on to it as long as it's seasonally appropriate. Make a "Keep" pile for the clothes that you will keep and wear on a regular basis.

Decide which clothes you will donate or throw out. This is the hardest step, and the most important. If you want to have a truly organized closet, then your goal should be to get rid of as many items of clothing as possible. This doesn't mean you should throw out your favorite things -- it does mean that you should take a long hard look to ask yourself which clothes you will actually ever wear again.

So how to decide what to definitely throw?

If you haven't worn something in over a year and it has no sentimental value, it's time to donate it.

If you have an item that is so worn, covered in moth holes, or faded that you and anyone else will never wear it again, then it's time to throw it out.

If you have a few items of clothing that are just way too small, stop waiting for the day that they will fit and donate them.

Donate all of the clothes you don't need that are in good condition, or give them to a sibling or friend.

Remember to take this opportunity to clean the inside of the closet. You should do this before you put back your clothes. Vacuum or sweep the floor, wipe the walls down with all-purpose cleaner, and sweep away any cobwebs that may have accumulated there.

Hang up your clothes and organize them. Try to hang up as many of your clothes as you can. This will make it easier for you to find your clothes and to conserve space. You should not only hang up your clothes, but you should also organize them in a particular way so you can easily find them whenever you need to. Here are some ways to organize the clothes you hang up.
Organize your clothes by type. You can separate your tank tops, shirts, pants, skirts, and dresses.

Organize your work and casual clothes. Separate your work clothes from your casual clothes so you can easily get dressed for work in the morning.

Organize your clothes by how often you wear them. You can choose any method of organization, but hang up a few key items, like your favorite hoodie or the pair of jeans you wear all the time, in the most accessible place.

If you really want to step it up a notch, you can use differently colored hangers to mark a different type of clothing. For example, you can hang your tops on pink hangers, or your work clothes on green hangers.

You can also think about installing another pole to hang up your additional clothes Once you've hung up all of the clothes fit on your pole, you should find other parts of the closet to store the rest of your clothes. The clothes that you put and fold at the bottom of the wardrobe should be used less frequently than the clothes you hang up, or they should be clothes that don't need to be hung up, like your workout clothes. Here are a few ideas.

Humour is important in any relationship, but we ladies know that sometimes our husband or boyfriend will say the darnest things.

What are some of the funny things that your boyfriend or husband said? Share them with us by leaving a comment!

The year is 2009. The drama is “You’re Beautiful.” The heartthrob is Jang Geun Suk.

If you didn’t know Jang Geun Suk before his career-defining performance as Hwang Tae Kyung in the Hallyu-changing drama, then this drama probably put him on your radar. He may have recently taken a hiatus, but he’s back to prove his chops in Jackpot. While we’re waiting for the next episodes to come out, let’s reminisce about all of his best roles on the small and silver screen from 2006 until, well, now.

Hwang Jin Yi

At the age of 19, baby-faced but already manly, Jang Geun Suk took on the role of Ha Ji Won‘s lover and stole not only her heart but ours. His effervescent performance showcased his talent, and his quiet on-screen death made us cry. The only thing more tragic than that is the fact that we didn’t get to see him for the rest of the drama!

Hong Gil Dong

2008 found Jang Geun Suk in another sageuk, or historical piece, but this time his role was much more serious. He was a stern prince determined to prove himself and to the lady he grew to love. Unlike his later roles that showcase his comedic ability, charming smile, and winsome antics, his role as Lee Chang Hwi was all about his ability to emote through his eyes. It allowed him to prove his mettle as a more serious actor. Thankfully, there were a couple of his trademark smiles to keep us satisfied.

Beethoven Virus

The musician in me was ecstatic to see that Jang Geun Suk had taken on the musical, trumpet-playing genius Kang Gun Woo in “Beethoven Virus.” Although made in the same year as “Hong Gil Dong,” the role was much more mature. He played a young musician on the brink of discovery, learning, and love. His genius made him hot-headed, and his rival made him impulsive. All of these were things Jang Geun Suk had to tackle as well as the difficulties of classical music, and he did it so well.

Let me take a minute and spam you with a couple of the many wonderful faces of Hwang Tae Kyung in “You’re Beautiful.”

This role took on the lifestyle of Hallyu stars at a time when Hallyu was just ready to break out internationally. Jang Geun Suk defined the cool, calm, OCD, handsome, rich entertainer and gave him many lovable quirks such as his infamous pout and snarky eyebrow raise. He played the emotionally stunted but physically grown man-child with heart-breaking acuity. I still get teary when I think about him crying alone in the bathroom because his own mother doesn’t remember that he’s allergic to shrimp. Or how about the many moments he shared with the Pigrabbit in place of Go Mi Nam?

Just in case you forgot. Here are a few more adorable GIFs to jog your memory:

To continue the slew of adorable faces, Jang Geun Suk next appeared in “Marry Me, Mary!” Well, perhaps that wasn’t the real reason, but he sure did continue his flower boy image as pretty rocker Kang Moo Gyul. This role allowed him to once again bust out his musical prowess, look sexy playing the guitar, and be one half of the strongest pairings he’d been in to date with Moon Geun Young. Although the drama was a tad scattered, Jang Geun Suk’s performance was not. His quirky personality manifested itself and made Moo Gyul one lovable, poor, starving musician.

The movie was based on the extremely popular manga and J-drama, and pretty much no other actor but the pretty and goofy Jang Geun Suk could’ve played the titular “pet” in “You’re My Pet.” Sadly, the film didn’t do well, but as you can see from the GIFs, Jang couldn’t have been cuter as a human puppy. When onscreen, Jang Geun Suk has a wonderful way of losing all inhibitions and just letting himself go crazy. I thank him for it. Without him, these GIFs would not be possible.

“Love Rain” was a special challenge for Jang Geun Suk in that he had to play a father in his youth as well as his son in the modern day. These types of dual roles can really showcase an actor’s ability to change and shift, or they can leave us less than impressed. Jang Geun Suk was adorable as young Seo In Ha, but it was as Seo Joon that he really proved his ability to adapt. It was in this role that he brought back the raw emotion of Hwang Tae Kyung from “You’re Beautiful.” Jang Geun Suk really resonates with the artsy roles.

If I haven’t mentioned it yet, Jang Geun Suk is one pretty Hallyu actor. Manhwa adaptation “Beautiful Man” takes advantage of that fact and his proven acting ability to bring pretty to the screen figuratively and literally. Although the drama was lackluster, Jang brought to it his usual charisma, deep voice, and innate sense of line delivery.

Jackpot

We can’t forget “Jackpot,” which is currently airing on SBS on Mondays and Tuesdays. In it you’ll find that Jang Geun Suk has deviated from his pretty boy image and taken on a more slovenly, comedic role. This comes after a hiatus from drama and film, and some internal reflection. We can see that the time away did him good. His performance is quite free. This is just the beginning, however. That means we’ll surely get to see many more faces of Jang Geun Suk in “Jackpot” and in his many roles to come.

"We started preparations three months ago because we want to make it a success. We want to be serious and give back to our members. I think it's great teamwork that we [managed to] put all this together in just three hours [today]," Angelia Lau, Area Quality Manager.

Other demonstrations included matcha-making, miso soup-making and spring onion-cutting.

Google reviews on any aesthetic treatment, and we are sure to find some man-in-the-street opinion that ranges from the somewhat logical to the scary and even down right out of this world. And as layman, we do not know if there is truth in any of the stories or opinions we read online.

While it is true that the Internet has enabled consumers to make better-informed decisions, it is also hard to know if what we have read are simply myths or are indeed information supported by medical evidence. Whether they are myths or facts, when this information is passed on through word of mouth, we start to believe them.

Since we kicked off April with April’s Fool day and as we don’t want to be pranked when it comes to aesthetic treatment, let us lift a veil on some hearsay that patients often ask Halley Medical Aesthetics’ Dr. Terence Tan. These are often things that they have read on the Internet or heard from their friends.

What I’ve heard: People say Ultherapy melts fats away. I don’t want to look any more sunken than I already am.

Doctor says: There is no evidence that something like this exists. The function of Ultherapy is for skin tightening by using focused ultrasound to generate collagen. The Ulthera machine is very precise and targets the skin’s Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System or SMAS layer to plump up and firm our skin.

What I’ve heard: There are permanent side effects to Ultherapy.

Doctor says: No, not at all. It is a non-invasive, no downtime skin tightening treatment that is safe and approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (US FDA).

What I’ve heard: Laser treatments will dry my skin.

Doctor says: Certain ablative laser, which is laser used to resurface facial skin, makes your face feels dry because it peels off the external layer of skin. But it is just a perception and not a real thing. Ablative laser resurfacing helps improve aging skin.

What I’ve heard: Too much IPL will dry my face.

Doctor says: There is no medical evidence of this. IPL or intense pulsed light uses light energy to rejuvenate the face by lightening pigments, smoothening fine lines, and tighten pores.

What I’ve heard: Dermal fillers will stretch my skin. So my skin will sag once the effect of the filler goes away.

Doctor says: The amount of filler that we inject is normally between 1 to 3ml, which is spread out over several treatment areas. The intent is to enhance the curve we want to enhance and smoothen out wrinkles that we want to reduce. The amount that we use is therefore insignificant compared to the actual volume within the face. Moreover, skin elasticity is more related to loss of collagen as a result of age and sun damage than anything else.

Laughter can help tide you over an awkward situation, it can mask nervousness, but most of all, laughter is generally a sign of happiness. Laughing during sex can positively alter the mood of your partner and yourself.

Anxiety and stress levels are reduced when we laugh during sex. Human beings always tend to consider sex too seriously and also have too many hang-ups about sex. Do I look fat from this angle? Am I tight enough? Are my boobs saggy? These worries can make sex so unenjoyable. A good laugh changes our mood and produces calmness in our body and mind in the presence of our partner.

The immune system is also stimulated in the process as well. It has been proven that people who laugh often are less likely to contact cold or flu. The reason being that laughing during sex or at any other time activates the killer cells resident in the immune system. The immune system becomes stronger when sexual activities are moderate. It has also been found that couples who have sex at least ones every week have 30% more levels of immunoglobulin than couples who have sex less often.

Laughing during sex helps in hormonal balance. Biochemical reactions occur when we are laughing and having sex and this lowers the levels of hormones which cause stress such as adrenaline and cortisone. Laughter and sex also causes a sudden increase of endorphins which strengthens the immune system. Laughing during sex indeed is an activity we can engage in to improve the health of our intimate relationships with our partner.

Laughing during sex helps us feel pleasure more quickly. It takes practice to be skillful in laughing when having sex. Just like laughter, sex builds more neuro-pathways in the body and brain and this helps us feel more sensation and pleasure more frequently with minimal effort.

The skin becomes more sensitive during sex and laughter. The body is kept in shape and becomes more relaxed, the temperature of the body drops and breathing becomes normal.

Laughter is an awesome way to strengthen relationships and alleviate boredom in the bedroom. It is okay to laugh while having sex, so long as it is not done to deride the other partner.

So the next time you have sex, and you’re trying awkwardly to do a seductive pose, or someone lets out a fart.. or you get a cramp in your thigh midway, just laugh about it!

Now, go practice your sexy laughing face in the mirror. Kidding! Just laugh from your heart, and enjoy it!

Troll dolls are going to be familiar to you if you grew up in the 1990s.

However, these dolls with crazy neon hair weren't exactly born in the 90s. Their history goes way back to 1959, when a Danish fisherman and woodcutter, Thomas Dam, carved a troll doll out of his imagination for his daughter when he couldn't afford to buy a toy for her.

Trolls are making a comeback this 2016 with their upcoming movie which stars Justin Timberlake and Anna Kendrick. To further hype things up, Mac Cosmetics are launching a new collection Good Luck Trolls.

As expected, it is going to be a very fun and colourful collection, taking inspiration from the Troll dolls. It includes four lipsticks, four lipglosses, five eyeshadows, two beauty powders, two Chroma Crazes, and a cute Troll brush. Expect loud colours and glitters, and we are all excited about the sheer yellow lipstick, sheer sky blue lip gloss, and the pinks and mustards for our eyes. Defintely not for anyone who is colour shy!

The M.A.C. Good Luck Trolls collection will be available in August 2016. We are so getting ready for Summer.
