Grissini’s New Head Chef Introduces Omakase Menu
Author: Alex Chua There’s something strangely poetic and charming about Southern Italy. This Southern coastal region with Grecian white architecture and crystal blue waters brings more of yearning and stylish travelling than a gastronomic destination.

Eyebrow Embroidery Touch Up at La Vida
Time flies! It has been a month since I did my eyebrow embroidery (Deluxe Creative Brows) at LA VIDA™. The color did fade away after the first session and this was expected because the brow specialist told me that I will need another touch up session 1 month after the embroidery to make it last longer. I went back to the same brow specialist at LA VIDA™ as I love the design she drew for me during the first session. This was how my brows look like after 1 month. My brows still look thicker as compared to the pre-embroidery stage. The same familiar steps took place: 1 Numbing 2…
