The best eraser in the world is a good night’s sleep. I’m so excited today! We just got the go-ahead from the Ministry Of Health to launch our mobile clinic concept! And the icing on the cake? They’ll also be supporting us with new IT equipment and stationery for us to use on the go. I can’t believe this is actually happening right now as just a year ago, everything seemed bleak. Approvals were being delayed indefinitely and our concept looked like it was leaning towards a major rejection. As you can imagine, the effects of the uncertainty and tension began to trickle down to my lifestyle and beauty routine. I couldn’t sleep well at night. To add insult to injury, zits and spots also came knocking on my proverbial door like an old friend. It was nasty! I had to up the ante and introduce new habits and supplements to help me sleep better. Yeap! No one ever said pursuing your dream is a walk in the park! 🙁 After a few adjustments, I managed to maintain a rather healthy routine and keep the pimples at bay, even before we received the approval. So today, I thought I could also share how I adjusted my night time routine to allow myself to have a better night’s sleep and clearer skin the next morning. Hope this will help you too! “Read a book” To get my mind off work, I usually read before I go to bed. Reading helps to bring me out of the zone and into the realm of the author’s world. I usually read novels or just coffee table books for content inspiration for the blog or Instagram. I avoid my usual business self-help books to prevent myself from brainstorming ideas before sleeping. Remember, you’re supposed to wind down at this time! Oh and reading your Facebook feed doesn’t count. According to sleep.org, the blue light emitted by screens on cell phones, computers, tablets, and televisions restrain the production of melatonin, the hormone that controls your sleep/wake cycle or circadian rhythm. To make sure technology isn’t harming your journey to slumberland, give yourself at least 30 to 45 minutes of gadget-free transition time before hitting the hay. If you really have to check your emails one last time before bed, I recommend wearing computer glasses to reduce harmful blue light and eye strain. My go-to is  ENERGEYES’ Anti-Fatigue Computer Glasses for late night internet surfing. “The Mandatory Nightcap” Every night, I need a beverage before I go to sleep. I used to indulge in a glass of wine as I believed that alcohol helps me sleep better. However, there is new research to show that even though alcohol makes you drowsy, it reduces rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. According to this article on WebMD, REM sleep happens about 90 minutes after we fall asleep. It’s the stage of sleep when people dream, and it’s thought to be restorative. Disruptions in REM sleep may cause daytime drowsiness, poor concentration, and rob you of needed ZZZs. Overall, not a great idea. Here’s my new sleepy beverage! Creme Simon Détente | Relax Tea SGD32/tin This natural blend has been formulated to help sleep or rest better while recovering from the day’s activities. • Peppermint Leaves: To soothe anxiety, emotional stress, relax digestive muscles and cramps. • Chamomile Flowers: To relieve insomnia, promote a good night’s sleep, and stimulate the body’s natural recovery. • Real Vanilla Bits: For nausea and stomach upsets. • Bluecorn Flowers: To help relieve water retention, chest congestions and anxiety. I suffer from migraine attacks every now and then, especially during that time of the month. According to this article , it is because of falling levels of oestrogen. 🙁 The smell of peppermint usually helps soothe the tension in my head. I’m also always on the look out for chamomile flavoured body products and diffusers as I love how relaxed it makes me feel. Yup. I like it so much I pretty much inhale it. Haha! So the chamomile scent in the Creme Simon tea is a huge bonus for me too. Now you can see why this has been my nightcap of choice for the past few months. “Take a chill pill” Haha! The Creme Simon Détente Rest supplements literally does that for me. Its main ingredient is Magnesium. According to this article , Magnesium is well known for its ability to relieve insomnia. One study found that it helps decrease cortisol, the “stress hormone” that can keep you up at night. It also helps muscles relax, to give you that calm “sleepy” feeling and help you unwind after a long day. Keep scrolling down to see what else is in the supplements! SGD42/60 capsules This natural sleep aid promises to relax the mind and body, promoting better quality sleep within a shorter time. Ideal for adjusting to new time zones when travelling, or addressing sleep issues due to anxiety, over-fatigue and insomnia. •  Magnesium , naturally sourced from seawater: To support muscle relaxation and alleviate sleep disturbances. •  Gingko Biloba : To improve sleep quality by reducing anxiety, fatigue and insomnia. •  Melatonin , a naturally occurring hormone: To ease jet lag and insomnia by entraining or regulating sleep-wake cycles. •  Tryptophan , an essential amino acid and precursor to melatonin: To invoke feelings of calm, relaxation, and induce sleep for better mood the next day. The Rest supplements have become a bedtime staple for my husband, Bobby and I. We both notice that we have better quality sleep after we started incorporating this into our night time routine. We wake up feeling less sluggish than before and can now concentrate better at work. Foam, Cleanse Repeat! SGD59 Extra-fine instant foaming cleanser that gently lifts impurities, removes light makeup and excess oil. Featuring foaming agents gentle enough for baby care without the use of drying sulfates, this light yet creamy mousse cleanses effectively without stripping skin of moisture. • One-step cleansing: Removes light makeup for eyes and face. • Extra gentle: Suitable for sensitive skin. • Long-lasting: Able to last for 4 – 6 months of average daily use. • One of the highest concentration of freshly harvested, botanical ingredients due to nature of rinse-off formula. 0% Paraben, Sulfate, Oil, Colourings, Phenoxyethanol. Non-comedogenic. As you probably already know – foam cleansers have a bad rep for being too drying for the skin. This is why I only use it in the evenings to get rid of makeup and gunk accumulated throughout the day. In the day time, I’ll usually just use gentle cleansing wipes or cleansing water to clean my face. However, these days I’ve tweaked by routine slightly to also include the foam cleanser in the day time. The Creme Simon Oxygenating Foaming Cleanser is gentle enough for regular use and most importantly, it is free of sulphates, unlike many other foaming cleansers as mentioned in this article . No squeaky clean feeling after wash! What about you? Do you use foam cleansers on a regular basis too? “Moisturise like your life depends on it!” SGD98 Concentrated in potent natural active ingredients, the gel-cream moisturiser refines and nourishes skin without excessive richness. A nightly ritual for rested and regenerated skin. • Lightweight gel-cream: Non-greasy or sticky without use of occlusive silicones. • Dermatologically tested on acne-prone skin: Users reported brighter, softer, more rested and moisturised skin after 4 weeks of use. • Proven efficacy: In skin oxygenation, new skin cell regeneration and melanin inhibition. • Over 90% natural ingredients: With stabilisers used in organic baby care. • Hygienic airless pump packaging: To minimise use of preservatives, ensure quality whilst avoiding contamination. 0% Paraben, Silicone, Oil, Colourings, Phenoxyethanol. Non-comedogenic. No night routine is complete without the mandatory emollient. I break out pretty easily so I’m always on the look out for gel form moisturizers as they tend to feel less greasy on the skin and absorb faster into the skin. Currently, I’m on my second bottle Creme Simon Restorative Light Night Moisturiser . I love its lightweight texture and signature Creme Simon scent. Just thought you might be interested to know that this product contains fatty alcohols. They are the non-drying type. Unlike simple alcohols, they tend to have a thick, waxy texture. Some are even solid. They are used to give products a smooth, velvety feel, which give products a nicer texture. You can check out this article to find out more about the different alcohols you should look out for in your products! Also! Apply your moisturisers in a gentle motion. Don’t massage your skin too hard during application as this may weaken the fibrous structures of our skin and cause (gulp!) sagging! And there you have it! A glimpse into my night routine for 2018! Following through with these steps have helped keep me productive everyday. Couple that with regular exercise and a healthful diet in the day time, I managed to maintain a glowy complexion (well almost) everyday and prevent myself from falling sick too often. However, I also believe we shouldn’t be too restrictive in our lifestyle as it may result in temptation indulgence. So occasionally I still give in to the snack attack! 😛 And finally, when all these quintessential daily habits align, I get the best of every day! Thank you so much for joining me on my night routine! Hope what I shared is helpful for you too! What is your night routine like? Do you have an interesting or healthy practice before bed?

When Sudio, a Swedish brand specializing in personal soundpieces approached me, I was taken aback by their obvious commitment to producing products that look as good as they sound. The brand name is an homage to the Phil Collins song, Sussudio, after one of the brand’s founders saw Phil Collins struggling with his headphones in a chance encounter in New York. As a big Phil Collins fan (who doesn’t love Another Day In Paradise, In The Air Tonight or even better, Tarzan’s You’ll be in my heart!), my interest was piqued. The headphones came with a very cool white storage pouch with rose gold trim matching the control buttons and trim on the headphones. After just a quick charge of 10 minutes, they were already ready for use and pairing with my iPhone was a cinch. The Sudio Tre model features a soft gel hook which curls into the concha groove of your outer ear to ensure they stay where they’re meant to, ideal for sports and activities. I decided to give them the ultimate test during the most grueling of physical activities, that’s right! Household chores! With vacuum cleaner in hand, I set to work. Despite the noise and rushing around, I was pleasantly able to continue listening to my music while the 15m Bluetooth range meant I had freedom to keep my phone in my bag while enjoying my tunes. I’m no audiophile, but to my ears, sound quality was great. Bass response was good and there were no clicks, sound dropouts and other connectivity issues while the full charge battery life of nine hours means you don’t have to keep worrying about them dying on you either. The headphones are also sweat proof, which means they won’t spoil from the perspiration of a heavy workout like some headphones can. Sudio have clearly got their stuff together, a great harmony of style and function, these little beauties look great and sound pretty fantastic. Did I mention they look great? Free tote bag! Sudio is currently running a pre-summer promotion! This special edition tote bag featured above is complimentary with every purchase from their website from now till 31 May 2018. Also, quote to enjoy a 15% discount on their online store . Hit up their website  or  Instagram  for more info on about their brand, earphones collection and latest promotions!

When makeup meets fashion… amazing things happen! As seen in Shu Uemura and Yazbukey’s latest collaboration below! Evidently, the collection is a walking billboard of the extraordinarily creative minds of Uchiide, Shu Uemura’s International Artistic Director and the Queen of Plexi, Yazbukey. Following their successful joint effort in creating one of the most iconic lines back in 2015, the artistic extraordinaires are back on again to create the lip-focused “Mattitude Collection”. Since their first launch in 2010, Shu Uemura’s Rouge Unlimited Supreme Matte has gained popularity among matte lipstick lovers for its beautiful matte finish, vibrant color pay-off and melting texture. Just when you thought it can’t get any better, the collection introduces their first ever magic metallic lip liner, adding a je ne sais quoi to the lip contour. I had a lot of fun playing with the new products and experimenting with some new looks! Keep scrolling for swatches of the new lippies! I wore the Coral Dance shade and dabbed some Gold Wow on my lips in this series of photos. They lasted through a cup of milk tea and some Lao Po Bing (Wife Cake, a traditional Cantonese pastry). Absolutely love the flattering shade and its buttery yet matte texture. And of course, the metallic lip liner is a genius idea! Now I can instantly glam up a look with a quick swipe! Here I am also wearing a lip necklace by Yazbukey, a Paris-based jewelry designer, well known for her iconic, bold and edgy lip motifs: “c’est ahh lips”. Aptly dubbed the Queen of Plexi for her trailblazing use of plexiglass, she often designs accessories with playful pop references, creating a trompe l’oeil effect along the way for more interesting and wearable pieces. Her vivid persona is perfectly in line with Shu Uemura’s Rouge Unlimited Supreme Matte! See how well my lip color and funky necklace go together! Now let’s take a closer look at the mesmerizing shades! Coral Dance Magenta Spell Rose Flows Yaz Red Gold Wow The metallic lip liner is very thick and highly pigmented, allowing it to create precise strokes with every glide. To make my point, I decided to create a more complex swatch with the lip products. Tadah! My husband, Bobby drew the Infinity Gauntlet on my hand, with the Rouge Unlimited Supreme Matte colors as the infinity stones. Eek! I hope Thanos never finds me! The gold hue is intense! I also love how it dries quickly, creating an alluring matte gold texture. Shu Uemura, you’ve defnitely outdone yourselves again! I wanna get all your shades! Here’s an overview of all the colors. Besides the gorgeous shades featured above, the collaboration also includes nine new trendy shades with a total of 16 shades accessorized with a special playful lip motif on the packaging designed by Yazbukey and three other Magic Metallic Lip hues. The 16 shades consist of nine NEW limited edition one-shot shades and seven best-selling existing rouge unlimited matte lipsticks in limited edition packaging. Check out this link for all the colors! The products are priced at SGD38 each and are now available islandwide. If you’ve created interesting looks with these Shu Uemura x Yazbukey products too, tag me on Instagram @ilovebunnynet . I wanna see all your looks! Have fun and keep sparkling! Your friend, Juliana #ShuUemura #Yazbukey

Last year I had a lot of fun looking at OSIM’s Christmas delights and many of their relaxing pampering goodies have become favorites in our household. Anytime I feel the neck tightness mounting from hours of sitting in front of the laptop, instead of popping a pill I can now pop on the uScalp to massage away that tension. Perfect! So it was with considerable enthusiasm that I attended OSIM’s latest product launch event for the remarkable OSIM uLove 2 (4手天王) massage chair. I knew we would be in for a treat, but the evening OSIM had prepared for us completely blew away my expectations! Being a local brand, it made sense that OSIM welcomed us with a spread of delectable goodies from other local brands. Hubby was enjoying himself munching on moreish Laksa and Cereal Prawn flavored cookies by Old Seng Choong while I enjoyed sipping on some delicately scented TWG teas and canapés. OSIM had set up two themed zones for us to enjoy before the event began proper. In the Lifestyle Zone, I enjoyed some blissful hand massages with products from Sabon and experimented with scents to create the perfect fragrance for my home courtesy of Oo La Lab. If only chemistry classes in school were this enjoyable! Finally in the Experience Zone, I came face to face with the star of the show, the OSIM uLove 2 massage chair! I was immediately struck by the lovely hand crafted peony flower design on the body of the chair that would surely look gorgeous in any home! For OSIM, however, this was just the start of the evening! Things were about to really take off! With my favorite gal Cindy , I was escorted to a check-in counter and issued a boarding pass for a first class flight onboard ‘OSIM Airlines’. You heard right, OSIM Airlines! This wasn’t a real flight of course, but a fabulously lavish setup to allow us to really experience the first class luxury the OSIM uLove 2 can offer. After check-in, we were each greeted by our very own personal flight attendant who would be taking care of us for the entire duration of the flight. I’m pictured here with Helen, my chaperone for the night. After a brief wait in OSIM’s VIP first class lounge, we were ready to board our flight! We were all awed by the attention to detail as we found ourselves walking through rows of chairs akin to a real flight, albeit a lot more luxurious. Think spa in the sky and you’ll be on the right track. My personal flight attendant, Helen, guided me to my seat, which of course happened to be the super luxurious OSIM uLove 2 massage chair, and after an announcement from our pilot, the flight to OSIM Paradise was ready to take off! Woohoooo!! Helen made sure my every need was meticulously attended to, ensuring I was just the right temperature, that I was comfortable and I could hear quiet muffled whispers all around me, the sounds of other flight attendants taking care of their guests. As I sank into the plush quilted leather of the OSIM uLove 2 massage chair, I was encapsulated in soothing ambient background music while a heated sleeping eye mask soothed my strained peepers. This flight into nirvana was really taking off! Now this chair is one smart cookie, rather than just subject me to a standard massage for all, it actually started to calibrate itself to my body by detecting the position of my shoulders and joints to ensure the massage would be perfectly tuned to my body. As the massage started, I could immediately feel the tension being eased out of my stiff joints. After a visit to the hair salon earlier in the day, I had been nursing a seriously stiff neck and could feel a migraine creeping up on me. I need not have worried though, as the OSIM uLove 2 did its magic, I could really feel my stiff neck dissolve away. I was in heaven! The massage felt very different to anything I had experienced on previous massage chairs, applying pressure to multiple different areas, it felt a lot more comprehensive and also a lot more like what you might come to expect from a professional masseuse. I also came to realize that this was not just a massage chair but more like an all-in-one relaxation and personal entertainment center. With speakers embedded into the sofa on either side of your head, you can enjoy wireless Bluetooth 3D music from your phone or even enjoy your favorite movies with cinema like surround sound, while an entertainment stand holds your phone or tablet so you don’t have to. You can even use the OSIM uLove 2 app to control the massage settings, sync new massage programs and download music tailored to complement your relaxing massage session. Of course no flight would be complete without in-flight dining. Our courteous and attentive personal flight attendants served us some fine refreshments to leave no first class stone unturned on this journey to OSIM Paradise! Alas, all good things must come to an end. As the flight touched down I felt refreshed and invigorated, something I’ve never felt coming out of a real flight. In true jet-setter style, the pilot announced our safe arrival at our exotic paradise destination with local time and outside temperature before we disembarked the flight! It was so real I was worried I was going to be asked to fill in an immigration form before leaving the plane! 😛 I might have been wondering whether an OSIM uLove2 was worth it before the flight, but after the event, all I could think of was where in my house it should go! But before the evening came to a close, OSIM had one more ace up its sleeve! We were guided to mysterious room where there was time for one last big reveal! The identity of the celebrity endorser for the OSIM uLove 2 in Asia. Who would be worthy to be the face of the heavenly good OSIM uLove 2 massage chair? Well it was no other than the Heavenly King himself, Andy Lau! Now this makes more sense as it explains the official tagline of the massage  chair, 4手天王, which literally means Four-Hand Heavenly King, paying homage to Andy Lau’s longstanding Heavenly King title. We were shown a promo reel starring the man himself and then introduced to the signature Andy Lau edition of the OSIM uLove 2 chair featuring an embroidered emblem on the headrest cushion and a special magnolia design on the outer body, the ideal marriage of form and function. We also finally learnt why the massage from the OSIM uLove 2 indeed feels so special. The OSIM uLove 2 is the first massage chair in the world to offer a 4-hand massage! The chair has four sets of powerful massage rollers and technology which mimics the type of four-handed massage you would expect from two synchronized skilled expert masseuses. Double the effectiveness, double the results and double the pampering! Yay! On top of all this, the chair also uses intelligent V-Hand 720 degree roller balls that perfectly emulate the grip and feel of a real masseuse’s hand to ease every knot and release all your aches and strains all over your body, taking the entire experience to a whole new level. This revolutionary massage technology is the brainchild of Japanese chiropractic massage expert, Sato Tsuyoshi and OSIM to address the common aches and pains of modern living such as the “Text Neck” syndrome from frequent mobile phone usage and tired legs from prolonged standing. Well, I can certainly relate to that! Haha! Without further ado, please allow me to introduce to you, Sato Tsuyoshi san! He expertly explains how the OSIM uLove 2 delivers a well-choreographed and perfectly-harmonised massage to help us relieve these aches and relax in the comfort of our own home. Hope the video gave you a clearer picture of how the OSIM uLove 2 works. Seriously, it’s the best massage I’ve enjoyed in a long time. Here’s Cindy and I giving our full account about our experience in the OSIM Airlines. Look out for this promo video in the OSIM stores soon! B asked me which is more relaxing, sitting in a hot tub or sitting in the OSIM uLove 2? It was a close call, but not needing to clear up afterwards gives the edge to the OSIM uLove 2! All that I need to know now is whether I’ve been a good enough girl to ask Santa for one this Christmas?! 😛 The OSIM uLove 2 (4手天王) is available now at various locations – roadshows, online and OSIM outlets at SGD6699. For more information, visit their website at https://sg.osim.com  or why not see what others are saying by following #OSIMsg, #4手天王 and #OSIMuLove2 on Instagram. Have fun and keep sparkling you guys!

Earlier in the year Sudio approached me to review their ultra classy Tre in-ear headphones . A sophisticated combination of style and function. Since then, they’ve remained my go-to headphones perfect for when I’m on the move. With the season of giving fast approaching and the annual challenge of finding the right gifts for loved ones just around the corner, I was over the moon to hear from Sudio again. This time I’m looking at their Regent White on-ear headphones, ideal for those discerning audio-fanatic friends who demand the best sound quality. A plush full cushioned design ensures extreme comfort for the entire 24+ hours battery life the headphones offer while the latest Bluetooth 4.1 wireless spech tech means you don’t have to worry about any audio dropouts, cracks or connectivity issues. I found the headphones did a great job at cancelling out external noise and there’s no doubt that the full cushion design trumps the in-ear experience any day of the week in terms of clarity, bass response and overall audio performance. The only way your favourite artist could possibly sound any better is if you broke into their recording studio! A huge bonus for the style-conscious are the interchangeable caps at the external sides of the headphone cushions which means you can customize the aesthetic of the headphones from day to day to match your own look. Some say if it’s not broken then don’t fix it, but sometimes you don’t know what you’re missing out on until you give it a go and that’s what these headphones did for me. They opened my ears to a world of beautiful sounds and music allowing me to rediscover a lot of my favourite songs and artists, appreciating harmonies and melodies that I’d never heard before. It makes it difficult to go back to in-ear headphones, but thanks to Sudio I don’t have to! From now till 31 December… Sudio will be offering a free gift box with every purchase so you don’t have to worry about gift wrapping when you send one of their stylish headphones to your loved ones this holiday season. Psst! Also quote  ilovebunny  to enjoy a 15% discount on their online store. Hit up their  website  or  Instagram  for more info on about their brand, earphones collection and latest promotions! Finally, see who else is the envy of his peers! Happy holidays, everyone!

Challenging isn’t a word you’d really want to associate with Christmas but that’s not to say there isn’t a silver lining to this festive cloud. How unpredictable life can be is what makes it so great but also so scary at times. I’ve been down with the usual season flu but when a few close loved ones fell really sick, it really reminded me of how fragile life can be. A timely reminder about where I should be focusing my energies. Time lost with loved ones can never be recouped, so despite their sickness, I’m glad it forced me to self reflect and reopen my eyes to what’s really important. I guess in the game of life, we never stop learning and it’s really brought me so much closer to my husband and everyone else in my life. Working with my RESCU team only further reinforces this belief. I’ve had several business ventures over the years but with RESCU, I can really feel the difference. Never before have I had grateful mothers and children hugging me and thanking me from the bottom of the hearts, it’s a truly wonderful feeling and motivates me to want to do more. I want to thank all my amazing readers, if not for all of you – I wouldn’t have been able to do any of this. RESCU has picked up so quickly thanks to everyone’s support. I’m really so grateful to all of you! Who knows what 2019 will bring but one thing is for sure, you can expect more health, fashion, travel, beauty and home décor related content! I’m excited, are you? Merry Christmas and a Very Very Happy New Year to all of you! Your friend, Juliana #Christmas #RESCU

“Spring is nature’s way of saying, Let’s party!” ― Robin Williams As the sun sets on yet another CNY, my heart still feels really full from seeing all the glimpses of love and joy, all the family pics and feast photos still being shared by you guys all over social media. I knew this CNY would be different, being on 24-hour standby in case any patients called RESCU  – would I still get to stuff my face with pineapple tarts or lose my life savings playing blackjack? Lo and behold! It was honestly one of the most rewarding CNY celebrations I’ve enjoyed in many a year! While I’m definitely looking forward to what the rest of the year has in store for me, CNY is not over yet! Now let’s keep scrolling and enjoy some final nuggets of joy from this year’s celebration! Before anything else… I managed to infuse my locks with some much needed ‘luck’, courtesy of the magical folks at Shunji Matsuo, just in time to take a couple of cover shots for this blog. In case you’re wondering, that little rascal back there is my silly ol’ brother. Hehe! He had a hair-mazing transformation too. I’ll show his before and after photos on my Instagram very very soon. Stay tuned! Meanwhile, quote ‘Honeyz’ to receive 10% off any chemical service by Shunji Matsuo (Ngee Ann) senior stylist, William. And possibly also inherit some of his hairstyling wisdom. Haha! Nailed it! The beauty routine is never complete without a CNY inspired nail metamorphosis!  This time, we go back to the basics and focus on CNY-approved colours, gold and red. To amp up the auspicious factor, the ultra creative Boss Babe, Amanda of Nail Indulgence De Beau  also added some cute big-headed goldfishes to signify 年年有余( or 鱼). How cute are they?? Quote JULIANA for 10% off all services at Nail Indulgence De Beau! Psst! Birthday peeps get an even bigger treat with an extra 5% off!  One beauty product at a time From spring cleaning, decorating to indulging in CNY goodies, we’ve done it all. However, the process is not always enjoyable, especially the spring cleaning part. I wish Marie Kondo was here! Haha! And surprisingly, when the going gets tough, the ramifications usually trickle down to the skin. The high carb CNY goodies are not helping either. To expunge these side effects and restore my skin’s radiance, I’ve turned to AHC Beauty for an instant skin perk-me-up. AHC has created a wholesome principle known as the ‘AestheBalance’ which believes that three important elements – effective and safe ingredients, thoughtful product formulation, and optimized usage method must work together to create the best skincare results. As such, they’ve come up with the PREMIUM HYDRA B5 Toner and Eye Cream to reverse the signs of aging and provide a round-the-clock deep skin hydration. The thick consistency of the toner plumps my skin instantly every morning while the eye cream soothes my tired eyes every night. Despite my unforgiving schedule, my complexion has been looking radiant and glowing more than ever. Besides the AHC products, I also have these beauty saviours to thank for helping my skin survive the CNY festivities. Featured here: Etude House’s Double Lasting Serum Foundation, Happy with Piglet Face Liquid Blur and Jelly Moussse Blusher. Sothys’ Nutritive Comfort Cream and Essential Lipid Elixir. ést.lab’s VITALIFT A+ Skin Revive Cleansing Milk, VITALIFT A+ Multi-Recharge Lifting Cream and Facial Mask. Going From Christmas to CNY! I hold Christmas and CNY very close to my heart, what can I say, the nostalgia of all those childhood memories get me every time as I try to relive some of those family memories and traditions while creating new ones each year. I gleefully took down our Christmas decorations only to immediately put up our CNY decorations. Watch it all in action in this video below! Huat is your lucky colour? I also found out ‘huat’ my lucky and most auspicious colour for the year is by working with Joop Boutique  and modern Feng Shui Consultancy,  Yuan Zhong Siu for their special CNY fashion video. I was born in the year of the Ox so my colours are purple, maroon and pink to help me  improve my positive energy and overall wellness for the new year. Check out this video below to find out what your lucky colours are in this beautiful and glorious year of the Earth Pig too! RESCU to the Rescue! It’s our first CNY running our house call medical service so we literally had no idea whether anyone would call but they did and we found ourselves seeing families, uncles with flu, aunts with tummy pains and even one granny who had left hospital to come home in time for CNY because it meant that much to her! Driving home at 5AM after seeing a little baby with a stubborn fever in the early hours of day two of CNY, instead of feeling exhausted, I felt humbled and exhilarated by the rewarding experience of being able to help people with RESCU. I never in a million years thought that one day I’d be driving around Singapore in the wee hours of the morning, entering the homes of strangers trying to help people, but now that I have, it’s definitely a new CNY tradition I’d like to continue. Tiring? Possibly. Worth it? Definitely! But the icing on the cake for me was of course spending time with family! My family has been nothing but supportive throughout it all and we even celebrated CNY early so we could continue running RESCU during the festive season! From our family to yours, 祝贺大家心想事成，身体健康，万事顺心，天天开心啊! It’s Giveaway Time! You guys have me drowning in love all week with your overwhelming support for RESCU. I was completely taken aback when RESCU’s instagram page gained more than 100 new followers within a day! Aww!!!! Our little house call doctor service can’t go on without your continued support. Thank you thank you thank you for keeping our dream alive! We decided to give away this bundle of goodness on my Instagram page to celebrate this exciting milestone! Click on the banner below to join!

Good hair speaks louder than words. Talk about eventful! The smallest month of the year has brought us not only Valentine’s Day, the Lunar New Year but also a write-home-worthy collaboration between Pantene and Clozette! Thank you  Pantene and Clozette for the opportunity to not only get squeaky-clean hair but also do it in one of your videos! Who doesn’t love the immaculate cleansing and moisturizing properties of micellar water facial cleansers? They remove dirt and impurities while simultaneously moisturizing your skin and now thanks to the miracle workers at Pantene, we can enjoy the same treatment on our scalps and hair. Pantene’s Micellar range features the same tech we know and love in our facial cleansers but packed with an extra detoxifying punch courtesy of antioxidants that purify your hair and nourish your scalp while freeing your pores and follicles of impurities, giving you an ultra refreshing and nourishing cleanse while leaving your scalp and locks lusciously moisturized! I first tried it during the filming of the video and was absolutely in awe of how soft and fluffy my hair looked, even when there wasn’t much styling involved. I also often worry about shampoos being too harsh on my scalp or conditioners clogging my pores. Now with the gentler formula of the Pantene Micellar products, I can literally apply them on my scalp and enjoy all the benefits of the micellar water! I’m a Pantene Micellar convert ever since this collaboration. These days, my hair seems to be easier to manage as it’s more silky and shiny after a few weeks of daily use. In case you’re wondering, I’m using the Pure and Cleanse line for normal hair. If you have very dry hair, I would recommend you to use the Pure and Moist line instead as it’s power packed with moisturising aloe vera to soothe and tame frizzy hair. Check out this video by the Clozette team to see the results for yourself. Grab your own pack of Pantene’s Micellar Shampoo and Treatment at any Guardian store in Singapore!
