When I first knew about The Butterfly Project – a community for beauty and lifestyle bloggers, I thought it was a great initiative by founder Tammy Lim and I knew I wanted to be a part of this community. I’ve been following them for a while now and whenever they had a community gathering, I almost always didn’t have the chance to join them- until NOW, and boy was it one hell of a party!

The Coachella Unity Celebration was a community gathering where members could get to know each other and mingle with other bloggers alike. There were fantastic booths from sponsors, live entertainment, great food and drinks and even a painting party! When I heard it was going to be a Coachella themed party, I was so excited because that meant that I had the chance to dress up and have a little fun! (This mama needs her “me time” too okay :P)

Let me break down what went down during the celebration because each and everyone who was involved is worth mentioning!

Few weeks ago, I was invited to the launch of Sevenfriday Space, Malaysia’s very first watch lounge concept store located in Robinsons Kuala Lumpur, Four Seasons Place.

Basically, Sevenfriday Space is an extension of the Swiss lifestyle brand Sevenfriday founded in 2012 by Daniel Niederer. For over seven years, the brand has been growing and making waves in the watchmaking industry through their “affordable luxury” timepieces that appeal to individuals who live to challenge the norm.

4 years after i was born, the first McDonald’s landed in Kuching, Sarawak. And on its 25th Anniversary,which is this year, it finally gets a fresh new look! Like finally!

If you guys didn’t know already (because i didn’t), McDonalds Padungan was the first McDonald’s restaurant to open in the whole of Sarawak and it is finally remodelled as part of the organisation’s innovative plans to modernise experience for customers.

The transformation of the Padungan restaurant incorporates various new features and innovative customer service concepts, which include: –

1. Table service, where customers can order their meals at the front counter or via one of the ordering screens and choose the option for their food to be served at their chosen table.
2. Self-ordering kiosks (SOKs), where customers can place their own orders and customise their meals according to their preference.
3. Dual point service that enables customers to order through the SOKs or the front counter, before picking up their food when their order numbers are flashed on screen.
4. Cashless transaction convenience so that customers can easily pay for their meals using credit or debit cards.
5. Digital menu boards to showcase the menu and on-going promotions, improve customer experience when ordering over the counter.
6. High speed WiFi connectivity for the benefit of always-connected customers

SALES, SALES, SALES! This November seems to be all about crazy offers, but it’s not over just yet because Black Friday and Cyber Monday are just around the corner! But this year is not going to be like any average Black Friday. Nespresso Malaysia is taking it a step further by bringing you LONG BLACK FRIDAY!

What’s that supposed to mean, you ask?

Well, instead of the standard Black Friday sale which starts on 23^rd November this year, Nespresso is starting their amazing sale two days earlier, hence the “Long” in their Long Black Friday sale—which is pretty smart I think!

With this opportunity, you get to purchase your Nespresso machine or coffee before anyone else! This gives you the chance to stay up late with some Nespresso coffee to keep you up and awake to do all your late-night Black Friday shopping!

So starting the 21^st of November up to 26^th November, be sure to head on to Nespresso Malaysia’s website to get your hands on some awesome deals!

My Pixie Experience

I’m so fortunate to be able to review Nespresso’s Pixie machine. Besides coming in red, which is one of my favourite colours, Pixie is also small and fits nicely in my little kitchen. Despite its compact size, what I also love about it is the fact that it can hold up to 0.7 liters of water—which means I don’t have to top up water every single day.

Pixie is also one of Nespresso’s SMART model. It has a smart alert system that will notify you when the tank is almost empty, which is great because I tend to overlook these things when I’m rushing in the morning.

During the Long Black Friday sale, you’ll also be able to find a Pixie bundle set which comes with an Aeroccino Milk Frother that will only cost RM 699  with the purchase of 100 capsules- instead of its original price of RM1149.😱

To me, you must must must take up the Aeroccino Milk Frother if you love your coffees with milk. I am so in love with the Aeroccino—the fact that it can froth up your milk to make the perfect cappuccino or lattes makes me literally obsessed with making my own cup every morning, not just for myself but for my whole family! It’s just so fun to make, and it looks beautiful too!

So my advice is, if you’re a coffee lover and have been thinking about getting a machine for yourself, take advantage of Nespresso’s Long Black Friday sale and you won’t regret it!

Have you ever thought about what makes a great cup of coffee? Is it the type of beans? The country it’s from? Or is it how your barista would make it? Like most of us, i know a good cup of coffee when i get one, but i just can’t seem to point out what makes it great- until recently.

Last week, Nespresso introduced its Master Origin range. It’s an improvement of their Pure Origin range- a collection of selective, premium and high quality coffee. But what could be better than carefully selected, premium, high quality coffee right? Well, let me tell you- it’s the unique harvesting and coffee processing practices that each country has.

The Master Origin range comes from five different origins, each with its own unique processing method: Ethiopia, Indonesia, India, Colombia & Nicaragua.

Here is what makes each of these coffee special in their own way:
