MasKingdom - Masks Fit For Queens

Hi Huneybees,

When I first went to Taipei, I was greeted by this adorable and welcoming store at Xi Men Ding called MasKingdom 膜殿. The store stood out with its whimsical theme and looked as though it came right out of a fairytale story.

All MasKingdom masks are made of Japanese silk and they had 12 masks aptly named I-Wish. Not only do they offer your skin's needs with essential oils and natural extracts through a 2 step mask regime, they're also make great presents, each themed with beautiful illustrations by Illustrator/Designer - Stanley Dai.

There's a mask for every occasion and they made great gifts for my girlfriends. Just by their names, it was enough talking point for a dinner affair...

• Chapter 2 - "Zen" (Moisturizing)
• Chapter 3 - "Stay Young" (Anti-Aging)
• Chapter 4 - "Merry Apart" (Restoration)

[Movie Review] Hotel Transylvania

Hi Huneybees,

I know this review came abit too late, blame it on my health. I know the movie is still on screens, so go catch it before it ends!

Synopsis

Dracula (Adam Sandler) has created a safe haven for all kinds of monsters in his hotel, Hotel Transylvania. He has one rule, no humans are allowed. The hotel is also the venue for the upcoming 118th birthday of his daughter Mavis (Selena Gomez). Dracula is somewhat a very protective dad and he does everything that he can think of to shelter his daughter from human contact. However, Jonathan (Andy Samberg) accidentally stumbles into the hotel but was luckily intercepted at the entrance by Dracula himself. Dracula then disguises him as a monster and coerces him to keep the secret. Mavis fall in-love with Jonathan but soon everyone finds out that he’s human. Dracula must now choose which is more important, the sanctuary that his hotel provides or the happiness of his daughter.

It's a fresh new take on Dracula and the monsters that we grew up fearing. These monsters are adorable and kinda reminds me of Monster Inc, where the monsters feared human instead of the other way around (which we all know).

It's very fun to see the humane side of monsters, that they all wana take a break, hide away from human and they do have family members that they all love dearly, especially the father-daughter love hate relationship between Dracula and Mavis. Kinda reminds us of our protective dads too!

Other than the few seconds of raging Dracula, I would say kids would totally dig the movie and laughter never stops throughout the movie. Gone are the days of scary monsters!

I give the movie a 4 out of 5 popcorns.

The ad coincided with Season 5 of True Blood, ensuring interest in Skarsgard will be at a peak.

Here's a True Blood Season 5 trailer for you before the drama lands on our shores...
