OSIM uLove 2 – The Chair to fall in love with
As you know, James and I are going to move into our new place soon and I thought that we can add something which I saw recently into our cosy nest. Not to mention, like many executives out there, both of us lead a hectic lifestyle. Hence, we are always on a lookout for items that would extract those cumulative deep-seated knots in our body! Recently, I boarded the ‘OSIM Airlines’ and flew to paradise with their new OSIM uLove 2 (4手天王) massage chair; I was sold instantly! Instead of the usual 2-hand massage, it has been upgraded to a 4-hand massage. This means that both your upper and lower…

Eyebrow Embroidery at LA VIDA
I used to say that I wouldn’t leave home without drawing eyeliners but as I grow up, I find that having nicely shaped brows is more important than having just the eyeliner on the face. Yes, eyeliner helps to brighten and open up our eyes but imagine yourself with bright eyes and hollow or short brows? Sounds creepy right? Even before I revealed anything, my followers have been asking me where did I get my brows done and if I have any discount quote. Yes, the answer is, recently, I went to LA VIDA™ for my eyebrow embroidery done and the treatment is called LA VIDA™ Deluxe Creative Brows Embroidery Service.…

Tied as one on our fourth finger with Goldheart Jewelry Celestial
They say the most taxing part of the wedding is the banquet itself. That, I have to agree. However, I disagree when people says that it takes a year to plan for a wedding banquet. I booked my hotel (Hilton Singapore) 8 months prior to my wedding date and my wedding date was an auspicious day itself. I got all my 4 gowns and 2 suits settled within the last 2 months of my wedding thanks to Bridal Veil and The Mens Club. Even better, I got my jewelries and wedding bands fixed within the last month. Who would believe that I spent only 2-3 months to prepare for something…

I have always known Expedia as a travel booking…
