there’s a coffee’s Nose.Take a sip of coffee. As soon as it reaches your tongue, it stimulates taste and simultaneously releases aromas inside the mouth.

Follow the lead of the experts: allow your sense of taste and smell to mingle. Enjoy the tactile feel of the coffee on your tongue.

Now that you’ve taken a good whiff and your first sip, it’s time to let your tongue do the talking. Of all the facets of coffee, Taste is the most complex to discuss.

Most experts concentrate on three elements Body, Acidity, & Balance.

Body: A coffee’s lipid or “oily” quality creates the tactile sensation of Body or “mouthfeel.”

Acidity: Naturally occurring acids in the beans combine with natural sugars that produce a sweetness that gives certain coffees a sharp pleasing tang or piquancy.
Balance: Think of Balance as a harmony of the many sensations yielded by a fine coffee. A “balanced” coffee is one whose flavor characteristics are all at the proper level for that variety.

A quick note on Acidity: Don’t let the term scare you. Acidity does NOT refer to pH levels discussed in high school chemistry class. It is not like hydrochloric acid or stomach acid. Instead, it is a basic taste sensation in coffee, especially those coffees grown in higher altitudes. You’ll notice a coffee’s acidity at every facet of tasting, but especially in a tingling sensation on your tongue. Acidity produces some of the pleasurable and distinctive sensations we enjoy when tasting coffee.

After a sip is swallowed, the mouth and tongue retain a minute residue of coffee. This sensation produces the Aftertaste, the sensation that lingers on the palate. It is similar to the concept of “finish” in wine tasting. Aftertaste can vary considerably according to the coffee’s body

We mentioned Body as a primary characteristic. You appreciate a coffee’s Body on the tongue and the roof of your mouth. It is a distinctly tactile sensation, and is sometimes called simply “mouth feel.” Another comparison to wine is helpful. Burgundies are sometimes said to be “heavier” than most other reds and whites. The difference is not weight. Rather, Body is the texture and consistency, the thickness or slipperiness of the coffee.

A good cup of coffee represents the collaboration of many highly trained artisans – growers, professional tasters and roasters all working together to create a fine product.

宝贝。。。
很多人很喜欢称呼另一半宝贝。。。
有些人很喜欢称呼朋友叫宝贝。。。
但有几个人真正懂其中的意义？
当他/她叫你［宝贝］时，意味着你就是他/她最爱的人。
在这个世界上。只有他/她喜欢这样称你。


　　
你们肯定吵过架，但你总是最后的胜利者。无论他/她有没有道理，他/她总是喜欢让着你。
其实你知道，在这个世界上，让着你的人，心疼你的人不多。也只有他/她，因为他/她也叫你［宝贝］
　　


他/她有些小气，在感情方面有些吝啬。那是因为他/她太爱你了。。太在意你。
无论什么时候，他/她首先想到的不是自己而是你。
能够一辈子惦着你的人，只有他。因为你是他/她的［宝贝］。
　　


在外面，在家里，也许他/她受过很多苦，很多烦恼。可他在你面前从不说。
他/她想让你变的温暖，温馨，快乐，
充满欢笑。。他/她宁愿把所有的不愉快埋在心里，将所有的苦难，一个人承受。
其实，能够一辈子这样做的人，
也只有他/她，因为他/她叫你［宝贝］。
　　



他/她从不虚伪，也不会为你献殷勤。
可是，当你冷了，他/她会让你多穿件衣服。当你情绪不好时，
他/她会逗你开心。当你病了，他/她会关心你吃药，心疼你。因为他/她叫你［宝贝］。


当你累了，他/她会充当你的枕头或者靠垫。这一切是那样的得体，绝不花哨。
他/她不需要赞赏和表扬，他/她做这一切，
只因为你是他/她一生的真爱，其实，能够一辈子关爱你的人，也只有他/她。
因为他/她叫你［宝贝］。



当你们老时，他/她会搀扶着你，一起在小路上散步。他/她会给你讲你们的过去，讲你们的缘分，讲你们的真爱。
没有人在时，他/她会轻轻的吻你的嘴唇。
这世界上，他/她永远会这样称呼你。因为你是他/她的唯一。
他/她的真爱。他/她会永远爱你。你是他心中永远的［宝贝］


所以当你称呼她/他宝贝时请先想想这些事你办得到吗？
当你叫他/她宝贝时你又没有想过真正可以给你这些承诺的人你要叫他/她什么？
做到的话才叫人宝贝吧!!!

This multilingual/dialect Malaysian comedy first appeared for two successful seasons in 1987, culminating with, according to the Singapore Straits Times, being one of the three best shows at the Singapore Fringe Festival 1988.

LifeClay Mask 摩洛哥火岩矿物泥, 真的是用火山泥做原料吗?

火岩矿物泥是只有在阿特拉斯山脉为数不多的地域才能开采到的珍贵矿藏。它集中在山腹中白色地带的上部。火岩矿物泥地层是在侏罗纪时代，从周围山上冲刷下来的物质在湖中堆积，依靠火山爆发而发生变化，其中含有丰富的镁、钙和硅等物质。矿床本体虽然广大，但矿层厚度各异，有些地方甚至只有几十公分，因此寻找矿脉也只能凭矿夫的经验。当然机械是无法使用的。那蜿蜒辗转而至矿山的坑道、原矿石的采掘，全部必须依靠手工作业进行。也正因此，大量的开采是很难的。而这个火山泥大概再有40年左右就挖光了，到时候想要再有火山泥面膜大概就只能人工合成了。当然，其实还有很多火山泥。但是每个地层含有的矿物质和微量元素都是不一样的，所以效果也是不一样的。

为何摩洛哥火岩矿物泥的美容效果这么强?
摩洛哥火山美容矿物泥（又叫红土，摩洛哥红土，或者氧化粘土），它是来自摩洛哥阿特拉斯山脉古老神奇的自然美容秘方，承传其百年历史，该粘土至今仍然被广泛用作香皂、护肤品、香波、面膜、身体膜等。矿物泥是一种富含大量矿物质和微量元素的岩土，内含超过1000种人体所需各种有机植物、矿物质和微量元素：镁、钙、硅、铁、钾、钠等。她对人体理疗非常有价值。当它与水混合时，能吸收其重量1.66倍的水分，并激活其中的阳离子，产生一种高效的离子交换，可使肌肤达到不可思议的吸收能力。

“摩洛哥火岩矿物泥“ 是由天然的矿物粘土经过大自然的太阳，风，水的作用制作而成。。而且这个产品性质十分之稳定。制作时将水分焙干然后采取密封包装储存，制作过程绝没有添加任何香料香精等化学物质，是100%天然产品。放上几年都不有会变化。.

  免擠壓、不留疤, 令毛孔變得幼細，增強肌膚彈性，使之細緻光澤.
  
• 收紧肌肤，祛除皱纹

I Got the travel kit from Laneige" Water Bank Series" inside Consist Of :

If you’re on the hunt for fuss free, beautiful skin, check out Hada Labo, the new skincare range jointly-developed by The Mentholatum Co, USA and Rohto Pharmaceutical Co. Japan. Using only the purest ingredients, without unnecessary additives and manufactured under strict pharmaceutical standards, the philosophy behind the product is this – Perfect, Simple and Confident.

Having found great success in Japan, Hada Labo has finally arrived in Malaysia. It has three different ranges of product to meet different needs, and each range has a key ingredient that does wonders for the skin:

1. Hada Labo AHA/BHA: This series is inspired by the smoothness and delicateness of an unshelled egg. This “eggquisite” range contains Alpha Hydroxy Acid and Beta Hydroxy Acid to gently exfoliate and refine skin’s texture for visibly clear, smooth and radiant skin.

2. Hada Labo Arbutin Whitening: This series is designed to fulfill your dream of white and perfect skin. It contains Arbutin, an extract from bearberry plant that is natural, safe and has effective whitening properties. It helps to brighten up complexion for visibly fair and radiant skin.


3. Hada Labo Super Hyaluronic Acid Moisturising: This signature range lastingly hydrates and nourishes the skin for smooth, radiant and crystal-clear skin. They key ingredient – Super Hyaluronic Acid, has twice the moisture retention capacity of Hyaluronic Acid (1 gram of Hyaluronic Acid can hold up to 6 litres of water), to effectively replenish critical moisture to the skin. It also has the ability to mimic skin’s natural moisturizing ability to enhance water retention of the epidermis. Ranked as the No.1* face lotion in Japan, it sells at a rate of 1 bottle every 4 seconds!

Hada Labo skincare products are priced at RM16.90 to RM59.90 and are available exclusively at Guardian pharmacies.

Present your may copy of CLEO, along with any used mascara(worth RM65 & above) at any LANCOME counter and exchange it for a FREE Mini Virtuose Precious Cells Mascara(2ml) worth RM31!
