With the blink of the eye, January has passed us by. The sub-25 degree temperature was a departure from the scorching heat of Singaporean summers, and us residents of the Little Red Dot were lulled into a peaceful, warm and cuddy first month of the year. So cozy up as we dive into the going ons of January!

Looking Good Without Makeup: How to Wake Up Looking Flawless + Spend Less Time on your Makeup Routine
Tuesday, January 23, 2018
Makeup, makeup, makeup - Do you
still remember the moment as a young girl that you first thought about putting
on makeup? Perhaps it was an advertisement, or you were rifling around your
mom's drawers without permission. As a female, makeup definitely impacted you a
way or other while you were growing up - suddenly, there was a way to cover up
your imperfections and look better. As the years went by, you slowly developed
a makeup routine that you're comfortable with, and boy oh boy - it takes a
while to put "your best face" forward! Have you always wanted to walk
out of your house again, wishing for your baby smooth skin that you had upon a
time, or simply not waking up in the wee hours of the morning to prep yourself?
Today, I’m going to talk about 5 things that is going to help you
look flawless without makeup – these are actionable steps, products and yes,
even procedures that you can undertake to achieve that flawless selfie, sans
makeup. There are literally tons of tips out there, but some are as vague as saying
exercise, diet and sleeping habits that clear up your skin. These definitely
work but they’re not as impactful as what I’m going to reveal to you in this
post! (OK, sounding a little like a self-help guru asking for your money, but
bear with me here, these are 5 things I discovered over the course of a few
years that I’m sharing to my blog readers for free.)

The Truth About New York Skin Solutions (Step-by-step Facial Review + Pros and Cons) 2018
Saturday, January 20, 2018
Pollution, stress, aging - these are just some of the factors that make our skin look dull, unrefined and blemished. I'm sure most Singaporean girls include monthly facials as part of their upkeep routine and are spoilt for choice by the different beauty services on the market. Today I'm sharing my honest, unpaid opinion about my experience with New York Skin Solutions. I know there are a lot of mixed reviews out there, which prompted me to write a post detailing the behind-the-scenes of their facials. Hope this gives you some insight before you go for that initial visit or decide whether or not to purchase their package. Now, shall we begin? (Be prepared for a very detailed post...)
It's the end of the first week of 2018, and I thought I'd do a 2017 recap and a 2018 resolutions sort of post. It'll be fun to look back on the year and also to plan ahead (although the post will be skewed toward to former). So buckle up your seats and prepare a snack (I personally am snacking on kimchi while writing this), while we bring you to a blast to the past!
Starting off with a notice - I'm trying to update my blog at a fixed time every month, which will be from the 1st to 3rd, so keep a look out for that!
End November to early December contained a wealth of surprises, among which was that my long lost cousin from Shanghai, Kimberley or Zhang Jin which she is known, came to Singapore for a three week long holiday, mostly as a sabbatical and also to work on her novel/writing.
