Jess Baby's randomsss

Lately, cafe-hopping has become a very popular trend among Singaporeans, and theme cafes are the latest hide-out haunts for friends' gatherings or simply just for couples' sweet dates.


Baby and I visited Strangers' Reunion which is located at Kampong Bahru Road, opp. Singapore General Hospital (SGH). There are many rave reviews about this cafe as it was managed by Ryan Tan, the winner of Singapore National Barista Championship.


We ordered a pot of hot Lady Grey tea and shared a slice of Crumble Cheesecake. I must say that it is the best cheesecake I have ever eaten before.


 The damage was SGD16, and I will come back again for their Waffles and Truffle Fries.



Recently, I just finished running a giveaway of specially-designed coasters and a shaker by Mixology on my humble blog. Congrats to all the 5 winners who won the set...



I was glad that I got to keep one set for myself too... I love the creative coasters and the shaker looks quite sturdy too.


During my Japan trip last month, I picked up many foodstuffs / snacks to bring them back to Singapore for my indulgence. All the packaging looked so cute and beautiful that I had the urge to buy and bring everything home!


I got the snacks from various places in Japan from shops, such as 100YEN, family Mart, 7-Eleven, etc. 


 I love the cup noodles very much as they featured some popular Japanese cartoons like Kumamon. The miso soup from Family Mart was Oishi ne!


I picked up the Japan's pride, Tokyo Banana from Shinjuku JR Station. I am a not fan of banana, but I tried it before and they really tasted good.



I bought a box of Red Bean Mochi from Hakone during my day-trip to Mt Fuji. It tasted fabulous as the red bean filling contains red bean bits, unlike those Taiwan mochi which contain purely filling paste.  


After my Japan trip, I developed a liking for the character 'Kumamon'. The mascot was created by the government of Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan. The bear was first created in 2010 to draw tourists to the region after the Kyushu Shinkansen line had opened. 
 

I picked up 3 mini notepads from Kinokuniya Bookstore, and I am so happy that I was introduced to this mascot during my fruitful Japan trip.

Check out the latest mobile aid from LINE, the global messenger, and it helps me to have a better viewing experience when I watch online dramas via my smart-phone. Apart from being a sucker for my smart-phone, it is also a piggy bank too… *SAVE MORE MONEY FOR MY NEXT HOLIDAY*


My colleague, Marsita gave me a Koala Bear ornament as she came back from Australia a couple of weeks ago…  

I met up Linda recently, and she was so sweet to pass me some trial size products for me to try out. Thanks lil sista! Appreciated and I love them all…


Baby got me a camera from FUJIFILM with 12MegaPixel for me as he knows that I love taking photos… Thanks so much, Baby. A little thought means so much to me!!


Thanks Baby for collecting the Nuxe White Trial Kit for me at Beauty by Nature, VivoCity on my behalf. Thanks Nuxe for the gift pack!!


I end my post with a family photo at Wan He Lou as we were having our Mothers’ Day celebration lunch. I love you Mommy!

Korea's No. 1 beauty brand, KUNDAL shower/hair products are now available in Singapore, and I am honored to try out their full series of shampoo, treatment, body wash and hair serum which includes a special gift from them - Bath Bombs! KUNDAL o ffers natural hair/bodycare products that have the perfect blend of plant extracts. Their products are comfortably referred to as green products due to their biodegradable and non-toxic components. What I love about the  KUNDAL HONEY & MACADAMIA  range is  that they use honey and macadamia extracts as their main ingredients. They are also infused with a specific scent - such as Pink Grapefruit, White Musk or Cherry Blossom, or the most popular floral scent, Baby Powder. The scent still lingering in the bathroom for hours and it smells pleasant as well as not being over-powering. I love how my hair feels smooth after using each of the products. I tried the White Musk shampoo and Cherry Blossom treatment, and I was

Thanks for introducing COCOnCO from Korea which has helped me to achieve pleasant results from my beauty regime.   COCOnCO First Essence Toner  is a fermented facial essence, and it soothes wrinkles, tones, moisturizes and nourishes the skin, enhances blood circulation and metabolic processes at the cellular level, evens out complexion, brightens the skin, reduces the secretion of sebaceous glands and fights rashes. If you have pale, tired skin with sagging and fine lines, these can be miraculously transformed with regular use of the essence! It is suggested to be used as the first step in daily skin care. Apply it to cleansed skin first before applying the lotion, emulsion/serum and cream.  It is recommended for the product to be used twice a day - Once in the morning, and once in the evening. After using the COCOnCO First Essence , I did find it more hydrating and my skin is now less sensitive. My favorite way to use this is just as an essence after applying my toner, in order to ad

The common scalp problems can cause a lot of irritation, but also hair loss. I was in complete shock at the state of my nightmarish infected scalp! One must make a huge effort to take good care of your scalp. Hence here I am at Jonsson Protein for their signature VE Protein Hair Treatment.

She also explained that my scalp was pretty oily, and my scal
