I know, I know… I can’t even remember the last time I did a make-up post. It’s been too long. It’s definitely before my pregnancy T_T. Many of you told me you missed it, and here’s one! 😀

In recent years, my make-up style have changed, where simplicity and time-efficiency is the most important keys.

And I am very happy that I am able to recommend to you today, THREE Cosmetics, a skincare and make-up brand from Japan (spark-joy!!) that emphasizes on holistic care and effortlessness, which perfectly suits my lifestyle. read more

Many of us love visiting combini (Japanese convenience stores). I can’t live without combini when I am in Japan. The onigiri, sandwiches, snacks and seasonal drinks… There were days I just live off the combini completely for days!

So I have blogged many times about the wonders of combini food. I also try to put together a meal as healthy as possible. But a few times I got lashed for “falsely promoting combini food as healthy when they are bad for our body”. So today I just want to share a few latest information on conbini food in Japan, especially for those who are in doubt and unsure whether the onigiri you are eating from 7-11 is killing you slowly. read more

I admit, I am a big fan of health supplements, and we have a cupboardful of tablets, chewables and capsules. Probiotics is an essential, but usually I’d buy the chewable and tablets separately for the adults and kids.

Duo B, a high quality synbiotic (combining probiotics and prebiotic) supplement product in the market, is suitable for the all ages especially developing kids, so you will need just this in your home to keep your entire family’s gut health in check!

Many of you may still be wondering what’s the difference between probiotics and prebiotics. They are equally important when it comes to improving one’s gut health. And to put it simply, Probiotics are “good” bacteria that help keep your digestive system healthy, whereas Prebiotics are not digestible by human body, but are the food for probiotics. When probiotics and prebiotics are combined, they form a synbiotic. read more

Hi. It’s me. I’m still here.

Today this blog turns 13 years old.

If this blog is my offspring, she is now a teenager with her emoness on full blast, and slightly out of control. I apologize in advance for her inappropriate behaviors.

So while nothing dramatic happened in the past year of my life, something very dramatic, even life-threatening happened to this blog.

This blog was hacked.

It happened last September, which was a year ago, where it was infected by a malware that messed things up on and off. I fixed it, it came back, I fixed again and it came back again. And then it started to happen more and more regularly. I’m sure some of you remember this because for months, every other day I received comments and emails of concerned readers who told me that they couldn’t access my blog or that every time they accessed my blog it jumped to a spam site. read more

The last time I did eyelash extension was right before I gave birth to Sakura, and it was a bit like a motivation treat for myself for having to bring another human to this world lol.

So… it has been more than 1 year, that I had not been able to step away from her for even that 2 hours to make myself look pretty. I know that there are a lot of good eyelash salons in Singapore and I have been meaning to visit one… so one day I requested the danna to watch Sakura for a couple of hours so that I could get dolled up with some nice lashes. read more
