Travel Guide: Road Trip & Things To Do in Okinawa

in Home, Travel on 11/08/18

It was my birthday the day I departed for Okinawa and things couldn’t get worse from the moment I woke up. My iPhone 6S which had been faithfully serving me for years decided to crash after I install IOS12 and refused to reboot. After trying for a while, I rushed out to buy a new XS, just hours before my flight, making a small dent in my pocket.

I then received news that Typhoon Trami had made landfall last night at Japan’s Ryukyu islands including Okinawa and power were cut off on the island and more than 1000 flights were cancelled. Thankfully, our flight was not cancelled and Typhoon Trami has gone to the main island of Japan when we arrived in Okinawa.

Kyra Beauty: Prescribed Hair Care with detailed hair analysis personalised for each individual

in Home, Lifestyle on 08/05/18

Kyra Beauty is a home grown company that specialises in formulating shampoo and conditioner personalised for each individual through a detailed hair analysis using science and innovation. Honestly, when I first heard that a Kyra Beauty consultant would need to collect a small hair sample from me (about 20 strands) to do the hair analysis, I was imagining wildly in my mind that the hair strands would be yanked from its roots. However, the process was a breeze (it took less than 3 mins) and does not require any pulling of hair at all.

The friendly Kyra consultant set my mind at ease by explaining every step of the process carefully on the phone and arranged to meet me at a convenient location to collect a small hair sample as well as do a simple questionnaire with me to understand my hair goals…
