Many women I know of have an obsession with applying face masks and one beauty blogger told me that she uses a leave on face mask daily and that is her secret to radiant, healthy looking skin. My beauty routine includes exfoliating my face twice a week to remove dead skin cells and applying a face mask after that. Rose Otto has proven to be an ideal ingredient for moisturizing, firming and toning the skin, while improving its texture and is considered as “The Queen of Flowers”. The Rose Otto toner also restore the skin natural balance and intensively moisturise the skin….
How a social enterprise transform the life of poor farmers with DBS innovation
Fancy finding a new type of gluten-free pasta formulated with superfoods such as like acai berry, spirulina and chia that tastes like original Italian pasta in your local supermarkets? This was the brainchild of Peetachai “Neil” Dejkraisak, founder of social enterprise Siam Organic and has been one of Siam Organic’s biggest innovations since winning the SGD 75,000 seed funding in the DBS-NUS Social Venture Challenge (SVCA) by DBS bank last year. The goal was simple – to make superfood a convenient part of your everyday diet and make the superfood gluten-free pasta taste just like the original Italian pasta. Siam Organic’s innovative formulation stands out from the rest of the normal gluten-free pasta without compromising on its taste. The outcome? Pasta options such as Goji Berry x Turmeric, Acai Berry x Jasberry Rice, Chia x Quinoa and Spirulina and Moringa x Matcha Green Tea will be offered in supermarkets in the United States, EU, Australia and New Zealand by the end of this year and in Singapore and Hong Kong by early next year….
How I get Better Sleep with the SleepWiz Luxiere Smart Eye Mask
I do suffer from insomnia from time to time and experience for myself what a lack of sleep can do to my body. Lacking quality sleep will make you more prone to illness, inability to perform well at work and lose control over your life. When you are exhausted, you will lose concentration and will not be able to process information and make critical decisions, making even more mistakes at work! I also tend to overeat and have unhealthy cravings for deep fried food and fast food when I do not sleep well. This happens because the brain is not getting the energy it needs from sleep and will try to get it from food, thus contributing to weight gain. Most cheap eye masks like those from airlines do not really block out light effectively and are too uncomfortable for long term use. On the other hand, a good eye mask is able to provide a conducive sleeping environment and adapt your body towards the optimum sleep cycle…
How to Care for your leather shoes & leather products with The ShoeTree Project
Do you own beautiful leather products but are not sure how to care for them? A few years ago, I bought a Prada wallet from Italy, brought it home and left it in its packaging inside my drawer. I didn’t used it at all for a year or so and one day I was shocked to see the state of my “new” Prada wallet. My wallet was affected by mildew so badly that I needed to spend $180 to restore the colour and condition close to its original state. The Saphir Renovateur Cleaner & Conditioner is a great way to care for your quality leather products as cleaning and maintaining them will be so much easier. This is also such a practical and unconventional gift for your dads and husbands!

Organic Beauty Review: Beauty Sensation Singapore
I often get questions from people about my beauty routine and how I have such great complexion. I wasn’t so into natural and organic products in the past. It was only after both my parents got cancer that I decided to go organic as not only do they avoid all the harsh chemical ingredients, their natural plant ingredients also benefits our skin! The clean beauty revolution has resulted in eco-conscious companies formulating products that avoid harsh synthetics and uses more sustainably sourced plant based ingredients to nourish our skin. Anna, the founder of Beauty Sensation, was suffering from serious skin inflammation due to work stress, high humidity and polluted environment living in Hong Kong. One day, she discover aromatherapy…
Taiwan Travelogue: Hualien, Taichung, Cing Jing & Taipei (Part II)
So we spend one night at Julie’s Garden Cing Jing and their service was really good and friendly. The Minsu had many cats and dogs and even a swan! They also loan us a hand phone to call them so that they can pick us up from Cing Jing Farm back to the Minsu. The only thing I don’t really like is their toilet which badly needed an upgrade and their bathroom towels were quite thin.
At Cing Jing Farm, I managed to take a photo with this well-coiffed and handsome sheep as many of his sheep friends all had their fur sheared for performances every week, which we felt quite sad to watch as they don’t resemble sheeps anymore. Again, it was raining and super foggy at Cing Jing farm when we were there….
Taiwan Travelogue: Hualien, Taichung, Cing Jing & Taipei (Part I)
May is really not a good month to visit because it rained EVERYDAY when we were in Taiwan! I need to psyche myself every day to just carry on with my travel plans and enjoy the trip despite the weather since we were on a holiday. August is not good either due to the typhoon season. September and October would be pretty good months to visit.
We all know that Taiwanese people are really warm and helpful and I want to share some of my personal experience with you here. The moment we touched down in Singapore and arrive at our block after taking a cab from the airport, J remarked that if we were still in Taiwan, the taxi driver would definitely helped us with our luggage. Our Comfort cab driver just waited in his seat comfortably while we unload our own luggage.
In Taiwan, the staff of Hotel 53 Taichung would personally shelter us with an umbrella to our taxi waiting outside and also walk us to the hotel lift and then gave us a 90 degrees bow as we enter the lift. These were some fine examples of the level of service and hospitality we received from the Taiwanese service staff….
Mini Moments with the New KitchenAid Artisan Mini Stand Mixer
Meet the new Mini. As the size of flats in Singapore get smaller over the years, so did our kitchen tops and living spaces. With the launch of the new KitchenAid Artisan Mini Stand Mixer, which is 20% smaller and 25% lighter, it not only takes up less counter space and is lighter to shift around, it also has the same iconic power as their full size counterparts. Space is no longer a limitation, but lacking the right tools and appliances to make your next culinary adventure easier is. Recently, I was invited to the KitchenAid Mini Moments Garden Party where our kind host whipped up many home made sweet and savory dishes with the KitchenAid Artisan Mini and its assortment of attachments…
