I think it’s been at least 4-5 months since my last hair cut/dye, and naturally, it’s not in the most prime condition (to say the least). Keeping in line with my ongoing house and body renovations (I did my first-ever bacial), I recently tried out a Shocking Clinic Hair Treatment at Walking On Sunshine -and … Continue reading
Whee I’m on a roll with the blog posts~ (and possibly turning into a big fat roll hurhurhur). Anyhoos, going to events is my self-declared cardio (okay guys, I tried), and I recently visited Clarins’ new store at Plaza Singapura. Clarins has always had a special place in my heart cos the Clarins One-Step Gentle … Continue reading
Hola~ Whilst waiting for my renovations to commence, I’m also doing some personal renovations – well, not really, perhaps a touch-up would be a more apt description. I’m way, way over due for a hair-something (be it a cut, dye or perm). I’m also into my 25th year of “This is the year that I’ll … Continue reading
So it’s been a while – I’ve been off Tokyo trippin’ (literally, there’s so much walking I did that I tripped over my own feet several times, and also over my shopping bags heh). Since I wanted to have nice-looking hair before I headed off, I had this Wella SP Liquid Hair Treatment done at … Continue reading
Yoohoo~! I’ve been so busy lately that I’m all frazzled, literally. I mean, the lack of sleep and proper meals have left my skin all meh and my hair ends ready for Burning(Wo)Man, v2.0. Thankfully, I finally cobbled together enough hours to go sit my bums down at 99 Percent Hair Studio to make my … Continue reading
So it’s no hidden fact that I love having wavy/curled hair, but those permed curls can get drier and more damaged as time goes by, especially after I go for colouring sessions to add more chemicals. My usual solution is just to wait it out, and cut it off several (damaged) inches at a time, … Continue reading
We all do silly things in our youth – my beauty junkie mistake was applying overly-rich eye creams, which has resulted in an accumulation of milia seed under the eyes. Meh. Anyhoos, I’ve been wanting to remove them for a while – they’re not visible from far, but they do show up as little bumps … Continue reading
Time sure flies! I can’t believe it’s been 3 months since I did my CoolMini Treatment with Halley Medical Aesthetics (that was back in June). ‘Tis time to head back to the clinic to check on the results~ Here’s Dr Terence Tan finding out if I’ve experienced any side effects (none!)… … and then he … Continue reading
So it’s been a while since I did any review on a facial service – mostly because it’s a trade-off for a beauty blogger. Either I try out products, or I try out a service – what can I do, since I haz #onlyoneface , as large and round as it is 😀 anyhoos, I’m … Continue reading
Now unlike the full moon that only appears once a month, my rather full moon of a face is perpetually there. Add that to my fairer-than-average skin tone, and I’m a walking light reflector in photos. Personally, I’m not into anything invasive, so I’ve decided to try out this CoolMini treatment to remove the double … Continue reading
Most people in Singapore tend to do up their hair in preparation for Chinese New Year, so I decided to join in the fray for once (I don’t do this very often because there are price hikes pre-CNY and I is too poorrr hurhurhur). I tried out a new salon called S.A.D’s Hair Design, located … Continue reading
At times, as I sit in my office, huddled up in a hoodie hunched over (and tapping furiously) over a keyboard – kinda like crazed geeky hobo – I think back on good times, like the time I visited the Ritz Carlton Spa for a La Mer Miracle Broth Facial 😀 That’s right, you heard … Continue reading
When I got my Star Alliance Gold status, my airport experience took a turn for the better with the lounge access – instead of rushing like a mad hatter from fashion to food joints, I could just saunter (with some fake swag) to the lounges for free food, and then sink my plush posterior into … Continue reading
Some may return from their vacations recharged, but because I (sort of) went on a rampage during my recent Korea trip (what with visiting Jeju island, doing (some) hiking, visiting many restaurants and cafes, getting my jawline tightened at CNP, my hair done with Jei, and of course, my shopping sprees that resulted in me … Continue reading
Now I’ve only done gel-based nails once in my life (those that require UV lights to cure and set), and judging from my level of clumsiness, I really ought to be doing it more often than I do the classic ones (which take a longer time to dry and set, and also chip a lot … Continue reading
It was by a stroke of luck that I first stumbled upon the salon that Jei worked in sometime in 2010. Ever since then, I’ve been going back to Jei to do my hair. One thing I learned from Korean culture is to give good fan service – instead of simply recommending my stylist Jei to … Continue reading
Now as you all know by now, I have a distinctive hairstyle that I’m well-known for too lazy to change. It serves a very practical purpose of making my face appear smaller than it is, and also helps hide the untrimmed brows. That’s right folks, take it all in – le bushy brows have emerged … Continue reading
As you guys know, I’m a firm, firm believer in the K-magic of Jei from Switch Hair in Seoul, Korea. For the last few years, she’s been at the top of my list when it comes to stylists I trust to cut/perm/colour my hair. However, I haven’t had the time to zip over to Korea since … Continue reading
Back in my heyday, I used to proudly proclaim that I had a hide like an elephant, and bravely volunteer to go for any facials that everyone else in the CLEO team turned down – alas, how times have changed. These days, I find that my skin is more sensitive, and outbreaks are almost as … Continue reading
Woohoo! It’s finally the final quarter of the year (well almost). This time round, I’m planning for several getaways, and you guys know that going overseas is the one time to take pretty photos galore – not sure if it’s because of the pretty sunlight, or it’s cos of the happy hormones running through my … Continue reading
