Last November, B and I were invited to a good friend’s wedding in Hong Kong and since we were both busy with work, we only stayed for the weekend. Even though the trip was as short as a blink, it still offered a sweet cornucopia of culinary and cultural surprises. We wanted to make the best of our two-day trip so we booked a hotel in the heart of the city’s swinging and vibrant neighborhood, Lan Kwai Fong. And guess what? While roaming the charming streets of Lan Kwai Fong, we actually chanced upon an unassuming restaurant at a basement of a building that turned out to be a Michelin starred establishment! The restaurant is called The Boss and its delectable Chinese cuisine menu is the brainchild of Chaîne des Rôtisseurs medal winner, Chef Tony Lam. Quelle chance! We were also overwhelmed by the colorful culture and history at one of Hong Kong’s oldest streets, Pottinger Street or the Stone Slabs Street. All in all, we had a marvellous time in the ‘Pearl of The Orient’ and can’t wait to go back again. Meanwhile, let’s recollect the quaint charm of the Hong Kong streets through my lens! 😛 Lan Kwai Fong Hotel Lunch at The Boss Psst! That’s not a real mushroom by the way. It’s a steamed bun that look like a mushroom and it’s extremely delicious! Roaming the charming streets of Lan Kwai Fong and feeling like I time-travelled back to 1997. Pictured here at #Hongkong’s famous Pottinger Street. It’s amazing how a touch of colour can make even a metal fence feel happier. THE FASH SQUAD  Top: Tres Love Chic Skirt: MDS Collections Bag: Furla  Shoes: Office Shades: Chanel A holiday in Hong Kong is never complete without a visit to a dim sum restaurant. So! I concluded my vacation with a sumptuous meal at Yung Kee Restaurant. Yum… Life is like a camera. Just focus on what’s important, capture the good times, develop from the negatives, and if things don’t turn out – take another shot.

It’s ki-tea time! Besides being a Disney trouper, I’m also a huge Hello Kitty fan. Any merchandise adorned with the adorable feline always sets my heart aflutter! So it was really cool when I got to visit Taiwan’s Hello Kitty Sweets Cafe with my best girlfriends who totally didn’t care that we almost missed our flight, just so that I could take photos with my favorite Hello Kitty treats! They are the bestest friends I tell you! Well, I guess I don’t have to take a 4-hour flight to have my Hello Kitty latte anymore because our favorite feline has finally arrived in our little garden city! Woo hoo! The cafe, aptly named Hello Kitty Orchid Garden, is decorated with a perfectly matching secret garden theme! And the best part? It’s open 24 hours! Now you can get your dose of Hello Kitty even in the wee hours of the morning! Yay! I’ve found another supper venue. 😋 It opens today at Changi Airport Terminal 3! Once it’s open, it’s never gonna close. Haha! Scroll down to take a quick virtual tour of the cafe with me! The entrance of the cafe sports a slightly European-inspired design and upon entering the premises, you’re greeted by a garden-esque surrounding that looks totally gush-worthy. Customers also get to purchase the cafe’s very own custom tea and coffee blends as well as some DIY plant kits. What makes this Hello Kitty Cafe so unique is its one-of-a-kind double-bowed Hello Kitty as seen below. Kawaii! The cafe also carries plush toys fashioned to resemble this special Singaporean Hello Kitty and it’s limited to only 500 pieces in the world! If you have a sweet tooth like me, you wouldn’t miss their dessert counters that display a pretty broad selection of cakes, tarts, soft serve frozen yogurt and gelato. Now let’s step into the world of orchids and kitty! The cafe took inspiration from our national flower, the Vanda Miss Joaquim as well as Hello Kitty’s kawaii flair for a uniquely Singaporean aesthetic. They even have a back story for their Orchid Garden design. Customers can enjoy reading all about Hello Kitty’s little orchid germination journey straight out of the pages of her journal hanging around the cafe. I love the minimalist and classy approach to the design of the cafe. It is nothing like Taiwan’s Hello Kitty Sweets cafe where ‘pink and girly’ themes dominate the interior design flavour. Our Singapore edition adopts a softer tone with kitty bows and silhouettes adorning the furniture and decor, while paying more attention on creating a lush green and floral paradise experience. Pictured here with me is a special Kitty house drink called Cumbermade, a fizzy mocktail of cucumber syrup, lemonade and soda water. Yums! There’s even a designated area for cafe’s patrons to take photos with their life-sized double-bowed Hello Kitty! Well, I can’t miss this opportunity so it’s photo time! Say hello to the charming Rachel of Sixth Sense PR! To help us understand the concept of this new cafe better, Rachel gave us a quick rundown of some of their key features such as their inspiration, food offerings and seasonal Singapore-exclusive merchandise. You know the only gripe I have towards most themed cafes is the quality of the food. The food is usually pleasing to the eyes but not the palates. I was very excited when head honcho, Andrew Khoo, emphasised that the Hello Kitty Cafe takes pride in the quality of their food and will make sure that customers get a consistent and elevated dining experience. Yay! And now we check out the star of the day – the menu! Hola Nachos ($15.90) Oops! Kitty Did It Again! Let’s Do The Salsa ($16.50) Big Breakfast Surprise ($18.50) Cowabunga! Wagyu! ($24) Psst! It’s Hello Kitty’s own rendition of local favourite, beef rendang! Yay! Hello Kitty coffee for the win! Doing what we do best. Haha! Now it’s time for a groupfie with Hello Kitty! From left to right: Agnes , Cindy , me, Chevron and Cassandra ! Beautiful decor, delectable assortment of food choices and superb service, Hello Kitty really outdid herself this time! Thank you Hello Kitty Cafe Singapore and Sixth Sense PR for having us! And of course, to the man behind the lens – my husband, Bobby, thank you for these incredible photos! Hello Kitty never looked better! Haha! Wuv you! ❤ ❤ ❤ Hello Kitty Orchid Garden Café is now open at Singapore Changi Airport, Terminal 3 Arrival Meeting Hall Central, #01-22 , 24 hours daily. For more Kitty news and promos, visit their website at  www.hellokittyorchidgarden.com  or call them at +65 6241 6127. Thank you for reading and have a meow-tiful , I mean beautiful day!

Age fast, age slow – it’s up to you. Yay! I’m finally back in action and since we’re only two weeks away from ushering the Year of the Golden Rooster, I’ve officially entered panic mode! Much to my chagrin, the constant onslaught of stress as well as the unforgivable poor diet these few months have resulted in severe clogged pores and gulp … skin drought. According to famed endocrinologist, Hans Selye – “Every stress leaves an indelible scar, and the organism pays for its survival after a stressful situation by becoming a little older.” Eek! To make sure my skin gets the nourishment it desperately needs, I decided to swing by Body Wellness again to consult my beauty fairy godmothers. The experienced therapists at Body Wellness upon seeing my worried demeanour and perhaps also feeling my panic-stricken heart, promptly promised to try their hardest to outdo all my beauty sins and restore my healthy skin with a few proposed treatments. Whee! So did Body Wellness save the day? Read on to find out! So here I am back in the comfort of Body Wellness’ warm blankets. You probably can’t tell from the photo but my skin was badly congested and felt very rough and bumpy to the touch. My Body Wellness therapist suggested their star treatment, Cytol Cell Facial to curb my skin woes. If you recall, I actually tried this same treatment on my last visit. You can read more here . Their highly celebrated product, Innovelle Cyto Cell Botanical serum offers anti-oxidizing, anti-bacterial and anti-aging benefits. As this would be an extraction-heavy treatment, their wholesome ingredients (CoQ10 and Hyaluronic Acid) would help to relieve swelling and boost cell regeneration. And of course, we also have our favorite Hyaluronic Acid to provide ample moisture to the skin. As I’ve emphasized many times, the best facials not only take care of your face but also your neck and chest areas. Most of the time, our neck and shoulders are also exposed to the world so I very much appreciated how my therapist made sure she massaged the serum thoroughly on these areas too to make them look bright and perky. Since I also suffer from breakouts on my chest area from time to time, this would really help in regulating the sebum production and minimize annoying pimples on those areas too. After a soothing massage, my therapist applied a cooling mask and left me to relax in the room for 20 minutes. In case you’re wondering, the mask applied for each Cytol Cell Facial can be different. They’ll assess your skin condition and prescribe a mask that addresses all your skin requirements. My mask here tackles my dry skin issues and brightens my under-par complexion. Who doesn’t love a customised beauty treatment? 😛 My most favorite part of the entire treatment is actually their aromatherapy massage before the facial begins proper. It instantly lifts the stress and brings me into zen mode. That’s what a facial should be – calming and benefiting. 🙂 And now you can experience the goodness at a fraction of the price yourself! Special Body Wellness Promo Code Quote ‘ JulianaXBW ‘ to enjoy the Cytol Cell Facial Treatment at $72.76 w/gst .  Usual price: $380 This offer is limited to the 1st 50 customers. You may call and book your appointments at 6737 1577 (Somerset) or 6323 1511 (Tanjong Pagar). *T&Cs apply.* For more info, visit  www.bodywellnesssg.com  or follow them on Instagram and Facebook @bodywellnesssg. Remember… Beautiful skin requires commitment, not a miracle. Even though going for salon treatments can help to improve some of our skin conditions, you have to do your part too in maintaining a healthy balanced diet, sleeping well, exercising loads and staying happy!

“Stars got tangled in her hair whenever she played in the sky.” – Laini Taylor Aah.. That sounds nice but don’t forget the pesky conundrum here. Did someone say ‘tangled hair’? Eek! Well, don’t fret. Apparently, someone was listening and has wangled a solution to our tangled problem. 😛 Meet the first and only professional full size folding brush – Pop Fold by Wet Brush. I’ve been using this for a few months and I swear by its detangling properties. Its soft yet strong bristles glide through my hair easily and effortlessly, saving me from another battle with my tangled mess. I’ve demonstrated its amazing abilities in a short video. Scroll down for more! The Wet Brush Pop Fold Video Review To be honest, this product is not 100% invincible. I have a small gripe with its push-release button that pops out the bristles as it requires a pretty significant amount of strength and precision to release the brush. For those of you with long nails, you’ll probably sing the same tune as me when you use the product. Other than this, we all have to unanimously agree that this product is an absolute godsend for our unruly hair eh? Where To Get It? If you would also like to experience the miracle of tame wet hair, you can now purchase the Pop Fold at $19.90 (UP $21.90) at selected BHG, Metro, Guardian, Sasa and Watsons stores. This new year, let’s bid knotty hair goodbye, shall we?

“Bad hair day? More like bad hair life.” My addiction to hair colouring since my teens has led to some pretty nasty scalp and hair problems. Despite these unhealthy ramifications, I’m still not ready to give up the hair chameleon lifestyle. Well, who says you have to? I was recently introduced to a full range of chemical-free products that are not only gentle on my sensitive scalp but also promise to revive the health of my crowning glory. But do you face the problem of hair colour fading too quickly? Do you know that sulfate is the main culprit – it is responsible for stripping off the hair dye pigmentation, causing your newly coloured hair to lose its vibrancy. Hence, always look out for sulfate-free shampoos as they help to prolong your hair colour and keep it vibrant as the way you want it to shine! Scroll down to find out more about my new trusty hair care buddies by L’Oreal Paris! As promised, meet my new hair care buddies – L’Oreal Hair Expert EverPure Range.

Fellow #OOTD addicts, doesn’t everyday feel like a fashion show? If you share the same sentiments, you probably also agree that Orchard Road has always felt like a runway for us to strut our stuff on. 😛 Well, now more so than ever as Orchard Road was transformed into a real-life high fashion catwalk last weekend for the annual Fashion Steps Out Runway Show. Do you know it is also one of Singapore’s largest and longest outdoor fashion shows? Yup. It’s pretty much like a fashion parade.Every year, the fashion event celebrates the Spring/Summer fashion season with local and international brands and this year’s line up included FOX Kids & Baby, Raffles Privato, SEAN & SHEILA, Thomas Wee, UNIQLO LifeWear, PHANTACi (Psst! Jay Chou’s clothing line) and many more. I must say, last weekend’s runway show was executed in the most spectacular way starting with an extravagant pre-show reception catered by PAUL, then a 550m long runway graced by more than 180 models and performers during the fashion show itself. Talk about a grand affair! Why I’m not surprised is because this year’s Fashion Steps Out event was managed by renowned fashion aficionado, Daniel Boey who graciously lent his expertise as a show producer for the curtain raiser and main event. With his vast experience in the fashion industry, you bet he had loads to bring to the table. Scroll down to see for yourself!

“Life is truly reflection of what we allow ourselves to see and be.” And since I’m controlling my own fashion destiny, this season, I’m opting for comfort, simplicity and style with aplomb. These are also hallmarks of our very own homegrown fashion label, Donya Vogue whose mantra is to let the world know that Singapore does have talented designers too. If that’s not enough… Their other goal? To make Singapore the fashion capital of Asia. Kudos to that! It’s getting a little chilly in sunny Singapore recently, so I’ve also taken a liking to long sleeved apparels. And who says lengthy sleeves have to be boring? Donya Vogue surprises us with an interesting approach to creating the most unique yet flattering sleeves! Their Asymmetrical Hem Dress sports these cute layered sleeves that coincide right at the elbow, adding an extra edge to the already gorgeous piece. Cinch it with a scarf and don a pair of bright high heels, I was ready to conquer the world! Now let’s get up close!
