TRAVELOGUE: TANJONG BEACH CLUB AT SENTOSA

BEAUTY REVIEWS: JUDYDOLL FRESH MATTE CUSHION

Hi there!

Today I'm going to review about this BB cushion from Judydoll!

Judydoll is a popular beauty brand founded in 2017 in Shanghai China.

I bought this bb cushion in beige from Watsons for less than $25. It comes in a pretty pink packaging!

It consists of centella asiatica, chamomile extract, tea leaf extract and rosemary extract. It comes with SPF50 PA ++ and it's matte. 

When I apply it on my face, it gives a velvety smooth finish which I really like...

But although it says it's matte, when I use an oil blotter on my face after 1 hour it's still oily...

So I only give this product a 8.5/10! Still highly reccomended and worth a try!

That's all! Cya!

STAYCATION AT THE RAINFOREST

Hi there!

It's been awhile since I went travelling for nearly 3 years now (mainly due to work constraints). I also haven't been to any staycation in Singapore recently...

I missed travelling, so I came up with the idea to go for a mini stayover at my sis condo during the new year holidays!

We went swimming. We also went grocery shopping at Hillion mall and cooked dinner - Prawn paella together.

We also pampered ourselves with face masks and wound up the day with a glass of wine and a good book in hands...

Had a lovely sleepover at my sis place! Hope we can do it more often!

Enjoy the brand new year ahead!

 Hi there!

I just celebrated my 43rd birthday with my family! We ordered pizza, sushi and chicken wings! My mum bought a nice coffee cake.

43 years of being alive. Isn't that amazing? Of course, life has its ups and downs, but I always try to look on the bright side!

For this year, my birthday wish is to get more rest and go travelling!

Had a blast for my birthday with my family this year. Looking forward to a more fulfilling year next year!

Take care!

LOVE IS....

Hi guys,

Today, I'd like to share some of my thoughts on relationship... So here goes!

In the end, it's the one you want to talk to after each day, the one you share banter and jokes with, even though you're both too tired to laugh whole heartedly. It's the one who listens as you go on about how life is treating you, the one who makes you smile and cheers you up when you're feeling low.

It's the person who wishes you good morning, the one who calls you in the evening to see if you're okay. It's the first person that comes to your mind when something goes right or wrong.

It's the person who understand your mood and can deal with your anger, the one who knows that you're not perfect, but loves you in every way.  The one you can share everything with. The one you tell your fears to, the one you share your dreams with. The one who stands by you as you work hard toward all your goals.

It's the one who loves and respects you for who you are. The person who will be there for you every step along the way, that's who your heart belongs to.

15 TIPS ON HOW TO LIVE FRUGALLY

1. Eat cheap breakfast - You can choose to get a lighter breakfast in the morning. Instead of having a heavy breakfast containing carbs, you can opt to have just toasts with peanut butter/strawberry jam/cream cheese and a cup of low fat coffee like me. Or you can choose to have the occasional oats with strawberries/blueberries/banana. Use more brain-based energy instead of physical energy. And for lunch you can have salad or noodles soup and round off your day with a hearty dinner.
2. Cut down on your transport expenses - You can apply for SimplyGo from your company to save on public transportation. You can choose to walk or car sharing whenever possible. Opt for Zoom meeting to save the hassle of travelling to work.
3. Eat out frugally - Try not to eat out too often. You can pack your own lunch or dinner or cook at home whenever possible. My mother cooked either extra pasta or japanese curry rice packed in tupperware to be microwaved. This allows us to save the hassle of eating out too often and also save money too. 
4. Declutter - Declutter your stuffs once in a while. You can dig out good stuff which you can sell on carousell and earn some money. Or you can opt for free gifting and gift those good stuff to your friends or family during the holiday season or on their birthdays and therefore saving money...
5. Stay home - By staying home, you cut down on impulse buying at shopping malls. Find free entertainment like watching DVDs.
6. Wait for sale - You can visit a thrift shop to hunt down some good buys. Ask around first, namely your friends or family if they have that sweater, trench coat, designer bags which they can lend or give to you. Shop online once a month. They offer a lot of trendy items at a cheaper price than shopping at physical stores.
7. Become a minimalist - You can build a capsule wardrobe with a few classic pieces to lessen your impulse buying. Opt for more earth tone clothes and shoes. I buy lesser shoes now as I'm sticking to only black, white or brown sandals and plimsolls.
8. Borrow books from the library
9. Stay healthy - Exercise and keep yourself healthy to save on medical bills
10. Quit smoking and drinking at bars and clubs
11. Save on desserts and travels which are not mandatory
12. Fixed or DIY your own things
13. Save energy and gas ie. lessen the wash load of your washing machine, switch off all lights in the day and switch off the air-con/fan as much as possible
14. Plan ahead for meals and travel ie cheaper flight tickets
15. Invest more in quality items
