Sponsored Review August is the month of flags, fireworks and… challenges! Yup. I bravely accepted The Body Shop’s 3-Day Clear Skin Challenge and this post documents the trials and tribulations of my beauty evolution. Wonder if I beat the challenge? Click to find out! The Body Shop calls them the Tea Tree Super Power Trio and these beauty warriors were sent to my abode for the 3-day clear skin challenge. Tea Tree Cool & Creamy Wash (SGD20.90) The new Tea Tree Cool and Creamy Wash is a deep-cleansing daily wash which leaves skin super-clean, fresh and velvety soft. For anyone concerned about blemishes, cleansing is the most important stage of a skincare regime, yet many of us find traditional face washes drying and demand something that is effective yet gentle on their skin. The Body Shop Tea Tree Cool and Creamy Wash is tough on blemish-causing bacteria and soft on skin. Working to intensely cleanse and purify, it instantly removes all impurities and excess oils, without over-drying. From the very first use, skin looks clearer and fresher and feels softer. Prevent further outbreaks with regular use. My verdict: As the name suggests, the texture is extremely creamy and soft. The menthol in the facial wash creates a cold sensation which leaves the skin visibly bright and refreshed after washing. It is mild on the skin and harsh on the acne-causing bacteria. My skin hardly feels tight or dry after washing and excess sebum and impurities were also successfully eradicated after the second use. 4 Honeyz crowns for adhering to its promises! Tea Tree Squeaky Clean Scrub (SGD24.90) The Tea Tree Squeaky Clean Scrub effortlessly removes accumulated dirt and impurities of the day. Suspended within The Body Shop’s vibrant cooling gel, specially selected exfoliants gently uproot impurities whilst caring bursting beads release their skin loving goodness. My verdict: I’ve always chosen my scrubs very carefully as harsh exfoliators may cause redness and wrinkles. Before I embarked on my ‘Squeaky Clean’ journey, I squirted a small blop as shown below to feel the composition of the gel and beads. I never liked scrubs that use rough and irregularly-shaped beads as they produce a gritty and abrasive feeling on the skin. Thankfully, the Tea Tree Squeaky Clean Scrub uses round and smooth granules that felt gentle yet effective. I was also glad that it does not contain glycol which may loosen the bonds of my lash extension glue . For its skin-polishing efficacy and minty fragrance, 3.5 Honeyz crowns! Tea Tree Oil (SGD18.90) The Tea Tree Oil can be used directly on the skin or during facial steaming. My verdict: Even though the product is in oil form, the skin did not feel greasy for long after application. The oil was absorbed almost immediately by the skin leaving only a chilly sensation by the menthol. The zesty blend of tea tree and lemon oils also emitted a soothing fragrance that stimulated the senses, producing a relaxing effect. My angry-looking zits also looked calmer after the first use. They cleared up by the third day. 🙂 4.5 Honeyz crowns for its affordability and effectiveness. Here are some photos of my progress over the three-day challenge… Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 I thought my skin looked happier and more radiant! More reasons why we should support The Body Shop’s Tea Tree range… The Body Shop encourages sustainable and organic farming practices by sourcing their tea tree oil from the Kenya Organic Oil Farmers Association in Mount Kenya National Park. This preserves the park’s natural biodiversity while producing Community Fair Trade organic tea tree oil for The Body Shop products. So fight acne woes with The Body Shop’s Tea Tree range too!

Advertorial  We’ve all bought insurance for our homes, health, cars but have you heard? You can now acquire insurance for your ez-link card too! And wait for it… AT ABSOLUTELY NO COST! The perks are out of this world. Click to find out more about their latest ‘Activate!’ programme! If you’re registered with ‘Activate!’, there are 3 key functions of this programme that you can enjoy: [It’s a one-time, simple, registration which is absolutely free by the way!] • EZ-Manage • EZ-Protect • EZ-Deals Registered ‘Activate!’ ez-link card holders can check the transaction history of their cards for up to three months, block and recover funds should they lose their cards, and enjoy additional protection against unauthorised usage before the lost card is blocked! EZ-Manage Have you ever lost your ez-link card right after topping up the value? I’m sure it has happened to some of you! Yeap. This catastrophic scenario happened to me once. I was a student at that time so it was definitely upsetting for me since my modes of transport can only be accessed with the ez-link card. So I totally endorse the new EZ-Link ‘Activate!’ programme because by registering with it, I am now protected by EZ-Manage when I lose or misplace my ez-link cards. And they do this by blocking further usage when I report a lost card and allowing me to enjoy the refund of the remaining stored value in the lost card later. Amazing isn’t it? Also with EZ-Manage, I’m able to monitor my transit and retail transaction history up to three months*, either at the ‘Activate!’ website or via the EZ-Link mobile app! * ‘Activate!’ only applies to adult ez-link cards issued by EZ-Link and does not apply to concession cards issued by the Land Transport Authority (LTA). EZ-Protect  Should there be unauthorised usage of funds between the time the customer calls EZ-Link to block their card and before the card is successfully blocked (which can take up to 48 hours), EZ-Protect provides an additional safeguard of up to SGD10, on top of being able to block your EZ-link card and fund recovery. This means that consumers can safely store more value on their cards instead of having to top-up their cards frequently. In partnership with ACE Insurance, EZ-Protect has a robust system which requires verification of personal details and reinforces security in case someone else picks up the card and tries to make a fraudulent claim. My favorite feature is the transaction history where I can check the available funds in my card before I board the bus. No more multiple beeps for the whole world to know that I’ve insufficient funds on my card. Now I can prepare small change for bus tickets without ransacking my bag in a moving bus. Yay! Most deals come with a price, but not with ‘Activate!’ In the months of July and August 2013, all registered ‘Activate!’ ez-link cardholders stand a chance to have their retail transactions on their registered ez-link cards… WAIVED FOR THE MONTH! Woohoo! I love my ez-link. Muuaahhh!  Terms and conditions will apply, of course. Details, and Terms and Conditions can be found at http://www.ezlinkactivate.com.sg/ez-deals/promotions Hurry and register with Activate!, simply visit http://ezlinkactivate.com.sg/ . You can also register via the EZ-Link app available at the iTunes App store for Apple mobile device owners. Google Play Store for Android devices. Because there’s really nothing to lose and all to gain! Your friend, Juliana #advertorial #EZLink #travel

Business profile? Checked. Bank account? Checked. Best team in the world? Double checked! It seems like we’re just one step away from being a full-fledged business – we need a gorgeous and productive office space! A good office layout boosts your mood and enhances the thought process. So I’ve been scouring the web for great office space ideas for Honeyz Cube ‘s future office. Our signature colors are purple and pink which are great for fengshui according to this Fengshui color chart below. 😛 I’m no expert at interior design but I definitely know what I want in my future office – chic spaces clad in shades of purple and pink without being overbearing. Here are some great examples: The main office area My room perhaps? A soothing color like aqua is great too! But if rosy hues are badly needed, add some fluffy pink beanbags or a hot pink stool as shown in the photo. So what do you think? What are some of your favorite decoration ideas?
