I love a good beauty Q&A because there’s just so much to learn. Something I wanted to do this year was to get my burning questions about skincare, makeup, haircare, body care … whatever it is that is related to beauty, answered. I’ll be asking experts from the beauty industry for their opinions on certain issues. I hope this is something you’d be interested in as well.

Today, I’ll be asking Emma Hobson, who’s the Education Manager for Australia, New Zealand and Asia from the International Dermal Institute about sunscreens and SPF. I came up with these questions when I was using leftover face moisturiser that has SPF30 on it. Is the amount of sun protection the same if it’s not labelled as a sunscreen?

Happy Sunday, folks!

I was reading your comments on my post on Janey again and I’m so glad you enjoyed it. Most if not all of you wanted more posts on Janey and since it’s a lazy Sunday, I thought I’d tell you more about Janey and her shenanigans at home.

Truth be told, as cute and lovable as Janey is, she’s one heck of a stubborn old coot. I’ve been doing a lot of reading on stubborn dogs and I understand why a lot of dog owners and trainers don’t like to use the word “stubborn” on dogs. They’re simply untrained. But believe you me, when you’re down on your knees trying to get your dog to do something as simple as going for her potty, enticing her with heaps of treats and toys to no avail, you just have to resort to the fact that the ol’ gal is stubborn as a mule.

Janey isn’t like a lot of dogs. She’s not motivated by food or toys, which makes her quite hard to train. Oh she loves her treats but if she has to work for them, nope, she’d rather not have them. She doesn’t like toys that are rubbery or plastic as she finds the taste yucky (you should see her face when shown a new rubbery toy. One lick and it’s like, euuwww, get that thing away from me!). As she doesn’t have any front teeth and has to rely on her back teeth to hold onto things, soft toys are the best. However, she’s not a fan of all soft toys. Oh, this gal is selective all right. Squeaky toys must not be too loud. They must have the right volume of squeak.

Hahaha, she’s quite a character, isn’t she?

I don’t know what it is about Fee of Makeup Savvy but she always picks the best tags to do! I’ve lost count of the number of tag ideas I’ve nicked from her for the blog. 😛

When I saw the Blogger Made Me Buy It tag that she also did on her blog, I knew I had to do it too. Hello, all of you bloggers made me buy so much, okay? Have I told you how much I love and hate you at the same time? My heart loves you, my bank account hates you. Shush bank account!

Let’s get started, shall we?
