» It’s instinctive, one of the most basic of our instincts. We human beings are programmed to enjoy eating because we need to nourish our bodies in order to survive.

» Women and make-up are virtually inseparable today. Reportedly, 70% of Thai women wear make-up on a daily basis. Fanned by a flurry of beauty blogs, make-up tutorials, beauty features and cosmetic advertisements, make-up has become an integrated part of a woman’s life.
