Winter has "damaged" our hands so much..we all need a paraffin mask for our deserved hands and we always always need to spoil our feet a little d= Massage chair.. reflexology treatment.. foot mask.. paraffin wax.. how can we say no too all that? The salon's name is Katie. Situated on Queen Mary street, I have passed by many times but never actually tried it. It is not a small salon and the place looks decent.

Essie Topless & Barefoot

Topless & Barefoot is a total surprise! I thought this would be the colour I like the least in the Spring collection. This is also why I tried it last.. but what a great surprise! Formula is the best one among the 4 nail polishes I have. I have nothing to complain about the application! This beige colour makes your hand look softer and more elegant. An appropriate neutral colour to wear in my future interviews or business occasions. I love it!! =)

Shabu shabu @Hagayaki

Shabu shabu is the japanese style hot pot. It is one of the best dishes to have in the winter. Basically, you cook vegetables, seafood, thinly sliced meat in a broth of your choice in front of you and you serve the food with dipping sauces. Very healthy isn't it? At Hagayaki, they serve sesame peanut sauce which tastes like a more liquid peanut butter and ponzu sauce which is a citrus-based soya sauce. I can assure you that both are really appetizing =) As for the soup, it has 3 choices: spicy, chicken broth, and traditional seaweed (water awith a big piece of dried seaweed).

As you can see, the place is very clean. You can even bring your vegan friends because the restaurant has a vegetarian combo. The plate includes more than 8 types of asian veggies. When I go out with my best friend (who is vegan), this is always the #1 place we think of for dinner.

Each combo includes an appetizer, a plate of veggies, a plate of meat (unless you order the vegetarian combo, udon (japanese noodle), a choice of broth, 2 sauces, rice, tea, ice cream and iced coffee.

It is possible to order additional plates of anything you want.

If you are interested to see their menu online, here is a link for you:

I highly highly recommend it because I LOVE hot pot!! =)

Hagayaki is situated in the heart of Chinatown in Montreal. Price ranges from $10 CAD - $25 CAD per combo.

Airbrush design

There have been enough posts about nail polish and I thought it was time for a change..for a nail art post!

The first time I got in touch with nail art was surprisingly not konad! Hahah! I used to go to my mom's friend's nail salon and I would have a nice airbrush design on my nails. This is one of the chef-d'oeuvre done by the lady.

I know.. the pictures aren't clear enough to see the nail art well.. This was taken initially for the special hand dryer at the Japan airport d= It was the first time I saw it and I found it really cool! hahaha

Airbrush makes complexed designs (shading, different motifs, etc.) possible, it is done very quickly and salons usually do not charge a lot for it. I highly recommend it! Basically, you choose a design and all the techinician does is use an air-operated tool to paint out the desired image. It takes only a few seconds for each nail! You will notice that the design looks like it is formed by a lot a lot of white (or other colour) powder and you might not like it. But once your technician applies the top coat, you will love it!

Next time you visit a nail salon, why not try this special and seem-to-be difficult-to-do nail art? ; )

Essie French Affair

French Affair is a creme pastel pink. Application was bad, not smooth at all. This nail polish is very thick (at least for my bottle). Overall, it's not my favorite nail polish, but nice colour to wear during the spring.

3 coats

Essie Coat Azure

Just taking a break from studying for my last midterm to show you Essie Coat Azure. At first, I thought this was a creme blue but it turned out to be a shimmer. I am not a fan of shimmer nail polishes, but this one is gorgeous =)

Application was better than Nice is Nice. 2 coats.
