[France Summer Vacation] Day 08: A day trip to Normandy

Image
Baby is a history buff, and being a supporting wifey, I will follow him on his interests whenever we travel. He booked a full day tour to Normandy during our Paris trip. Normandy is one of the most visited landmarks in France because of its role in the history of the World War II and  the Normandy Landings. While it is also widely known for its poignant cemeteries and war memorials that run along scenic beaches, Normandy itself is a rich region with full of hedgerows and farmlands which are quite unique.  The tour started at 7am and we had to get up early to make our way to the meeting point, which was at the HOTEL PULLMAN PARIS TOUR EIFFEL. This day trip from central Paris to Normandy started in an air-conditioned bus which took us 3 hours to reach Normandy. We enjoyed a scenic drive through the French countryside towards the northwest coast in order to discover and tour the site of the D-Day landings. First stop - we took a stroll along Omaha Beach , one of the toughest landings

[service review] 70-minute facial & eye treatment by THANN

Image
When I am packed with a busy schedule, one of the ways I have to de-stress is to pamper myself with a great facial/spa session.  I got very excited when I received a lovely invite from  THANN  Singapore that allowed me to experience their first boutique store in Paragon Shopping Centre and I received a 70-minute facial which included an eye treatment too! Lately, due to my hectic lifestyle, my skin wasn't in a good condition. My complexion is dull and feels dry at times. I scheduled it immediately on a weekend because my skin was in desperate need for some rejuvenation. The facial therapist started off by removing my eye makeup with the  Astringent Cleansing Water   and this was followed by a Purifying Face Wash for a deep cleansing on my face.  The cleansing and exfoliation helped to remove sebum and impurities, and of course, the dead cells on my skin as well. It also helped to provide more hydration as well as giving me smooth lines on my face! The facial treatment does not

[PRODUCT REVIEW] Refresh Wellness - COLLAGEN MILK + NUTRIENTS SHOWER FILTER - LAVENDULA

If you filter your drinking water to avoid potentially harmful chemicals, then you should also consider a shower water filter too.   There are many aesthetic reasons for filtering your shower water, and the most common reason is that many people notice that their hair is drier when they shampoo with hard water, as it frizzes more easily. For me, as a shower-filter user, I feel   that my hair color lasts longer and is better able to maintain its gloss and shine. I received a package from Refresh Wellness , thanks for pampering me with a lovely  COLLAGEN MILK + NUTRIENTS SHOWER FILTER - LAVENDULA.  My Baby and I have been using the filter and we enjoyed it to the fullest. Hailing from Korea, this shower filter is   infused with collagen to nourish your skin and ensure that it is silky smooth after a bath. It is designed  with 200% MORE   Collagen Milk + Nutrients in it to ensure the ultimate shower experience. Although Refresh Wellness offers a special shower head which complements

I am a fan of pop-up museums and submarine sandwiches, and upon hearing that the Subway Museum was coming to Singapore, I was on cloud nine! The usual gang of us went on a journey to discover the success of this original submarine sandwich icon. The ' Subway Big Museum of Taste'  offers interesting installations with Insta-worthy photo opportunities! Although the quirky pop-up museum wasn't large, it was divided into quite a few vibrantly decorated rooms, two of which are dedicated to interactive games. The mission is to  play the games to collect as many sandwich ingredients  as you can, in order to assemble your own perfect Subway sandwich. Subway had a goal of setting a national record and we joined in the fun to play the  Largest Sandwich-Making Game at the Subway Museum . Look at my sandwich creation! Before we ended our journey, we redeemed a free cookie and Coca-Cola while browsing through limited edition merchandise at the gift store. To get tickets to the Big Mus
