TK TrichoKare Hair & Scalp Treatment + Trioxy Treatment Review
I started off the scalp treatment with a detailed consultation. It involves detailed history taking and really takes into account my dietary habits, sleep pattern and hormonal changes. After this my hair was analysed under a magnifying glass to check for any obvious thinning of hair. They also used a Tricho-scan camera which magnifies up to 200 times to analyse my scalp. It works as a visual proof of my scalp condition, according to which the treatment can be planned. Take a look at the 2 pictures at the top. True enough, my scalp showed redness and signs of inflammation. It is clearly shown and I got a shock when…

‘Seoul’ Spicy at Seoul Yummy – The Level 5 Spicy Stew Challenge
Author: Alex Chua Have you tasted DEATH? I almost fell off my chair when I attempted the Seoul Yummy’s one-day only Dak Bokkeum Tang on an insane scale of LEVEL 5 Spiciness. Comes in a set at $49.80, this fire-spitting Spicy Braised Chicken Stew includes a free appetizer (kimchi pancake) and a free dessert (Patbingsoo), the latter is a lifesaver to which your tongue will surely cling into. While I can relate to the intense charm of spicy food – that fiery kick in the mouth and lingering ‘shiokness’ aftermath – this stir-fry chicken stew is more like a knockout. My tongue got numbed immediately after a few sips of…

Bespoke Wedding Gowns at Bridal Veil by MichelleHuiMin (Part 1)
This is going to be a lengthly post as I would like to pen down our gowns and suits journey for #AwMayzingJourney. Some couples fly overseas to get their suits and gowns down and some fly over specially for Bridal Veil. Lucky for us, both Bridal Veil and The Mens Club are located in Singapore, and conveniently, right in Orchard – Delfi Orchard – 402 Orchard Road. When James first proposed, we were lost and since I was totally caught off guard, we had no idea where or what the next step was. Other than booking of the hotel, people often tells us to book my gowns early as the…

Situated in Wheelock Place, the new menu is specially curated by Executive Chef Mr Toshio Sawai, who had an illustrious culinary career beginning all the way back in Kitcho, one of the most luxurious and reputable Japanese restaurants in Japan, in 1983.

Sand & Sky Pink Clay – Flash Perfection Exfoliating Treatment / Porefining Face Mask Review
Clay beauty products always make my face feels extra clean and to be honest, I don’t use them very frequently because my skin is very dry itself and I don’t want the clay to dehydrate it further. I do love the idea of removing impurities from my skin once a month though. Recently, I realized that not all clay products are drying because I found one that really works for me – Sand & Sky Flash Perfection Exfoliating Treatment and the Australian Pink Clay Porefining Face Mask. Out of the many beauty products that I have tried these 2 months, these 2 win hands down! The products itself are as pink as how…

Is Si Dian Jin (四点金) still important during 过大礼?
Nowadays, a lot of youngsters would conveniently make do without all the traditions. The bottom line is as long as you are happy, that is all that matters right? However, as the elder daughter of a traditional family, some traditions are still very important to me. For example, I feel that Si Dian Jin (四点金) is a must for my wedding as I value the meaning behind this set of jewellery. Generally, it means acceptance into the groom’s family in short. “Translated to mean “four touches of gold”, Si Dian Jin represents the four corners of a roof — the groom’s family’s assurance to the bride that she will always…

Coco & Eve Like a Virgin Hair Masque Review
The wedding is near and I just half a year ago, I went to bleach my hair twice. I have been going back to the salon for a monthly hair treatment to help tame the frizzy hair but once a month is not enough. Neither do I have the luxury of time to visit the salon once every 2 weeks as much as I want to. Honestly, I have been trying out a lot of hair products to keep my hair in place. I am also currently using hair oil EVERY single day and I must say that there are pros and cons for using hair oil because things can…

Chemical Peel? Milk Peel? Are they the same in Singapore?
I am always doing Dual Yellow Laser with Dr Celine Leong at Astique Clinic, Singapore but this time round, I gave something new a try – Milk Peel. I would call this a “Lunch Time Quick Fix” as the entire process took less than 30 minutes. Some of you may link Milk Peel & Chemical Peel together but they are not exactly the same. Even though I personally find that chemical peels & milk peels are more or less the same but Milk Peel is a lot more gentle on the skin and it is suitable for all skin type. Chemical peels on the other hand, is pretty selective. Some…
