Singapore International Jewellery Expo (SIJE) 2021

Image
Jewellery is almost always  connected to happy occasions, celebrating relationships, and are self-expressions of hope for the future! Diamonds have always symbolized love and eternity, and are found in some of the world's oldest pieces of jewellery. The  Singapore International Jewellery Expo  (SIJE)  2021  marked their return after a long and difficult pause of two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. During this period, many consumers in Singapore were less willing to shop under the tight measures. With the return of SIJE 2021, the event was hosted at the  Marina Bay Sands Convention Centre . The glittery 4-day show gathered buyers and jewellery enthusiasts for a visual feast over a splendid collection of gemstones and jewels across more than 100 brands!   The SIJE 2021 showcased a few pieces of USD 2 Million Necklaces that were made up of 35 pieces  of 2 to  5-carat cushion-cut diamonds with  a total weight of 88.81 carats, ...

Unboxing my November's Partibox (Beauty Insider & Particlub) + product review - Brooklyn Herborium's Vita-C 10 Day Wild Berry Treatment + Cow Fart Juice

Image
A month has yet again passed, so it's time for a show and review on my  Partibox from Particlub ! This month’s edition was kinda different as it was a collaboration between Beauty Insider & Particlub. The box contained a bag of beauty goodies from Beauty Insider.  I received 2 items full-size of beauty products and a deluxe trial size sample! Beauty Insider is THE destination for the very best in beauty, and it offers products that ‘blew us away'. From bestselling skincare to make up must-haves! Product reviews are available at their beauty platform as they enable women to find the best suited products! What I love about Beauty Insider is that the website is easy to navigate. I personally feel that Beauty Insider is pretty powerful in influencing me in my purchasing decisions! I really love the package of the  Revitalizing Concentrated DNA Serum by SkinMed. This luxurious serum is formulated to repair, rejuvenate and revitalize. It's an essential produc...

[random] Home-prepared Cold Matcha Soba + Freebies from the mailbox

Thanks  Saborino for sending the Morning Mask for a pampering session.  It is an all in one morning face mask, as it requires no cleaning after application on the face. It acts as a skin cleanser, skin treatment and moisturizing base all in a single step!   The Saborino Morning Mask  is the perfect solution for busy 'or perhaps, lazy women like me'!, who usually need to rush on our morning skincare regime before heading to work, and this can be quite a time consuming process. All thanks to this mask, I can really save a lot of time and it even gives me some extra bonus to snooze in the morning. After almost 2 months of WFH, I've now finally been asked to go back to the office on alternate weeks! With my present arrangement, it will be nice to catch up with my office lunch mates during lunch as well as to see other colleagues that I've not met in a while!   Most of my colleagues were fully vaccinated, and therefore took the opportunity to dine-...

[Café-hopping] HVALA @ CHIJMES

Image
Meryl and I met up at CHIJMES to continue our café-hopping session.  We decided to settle our afternoon tea at  Hvala . I love the cool interior of Hvala's concept, as part of the café features a tatami concept,  which made me feel as if I was in Japan again! Hvala is pretty much very crowded every day, and reservations are not   allowed. We went around 3+ on a weekday, and we were so lucky to get a table with merely a 10-minute wait! We were lead to the tatami area for our dine-in indulgence. We ordered the Kinako Warabi Mochi with Japanese Black Sugar, and it was the perfect dessert for mochi lovers. I love the softness of the mochi, and the black sugar made everything sweeter, but not overly sweet. We love this light dessert! Hvala  also offers high quality tea leaves, so we went for their hot brew! Lastly, to fill our tummies, we ordered the Dairy-Free Waffles , and it tasted pretty delicious.  The total damage was SGD35-ish, and we had a gr...
