[Eco Lifestyle event] Green Living 2015

The inaugural Green Living 2015 opened its doors to the public on the 4th September 2015 at the Marina Bay Sands Convention Centre. The exhibition is conceptualized to be Singapore’s dedicated sustainability and design show, which was held in conjunction with The International Green Building Conference (IGBC) 2015, Build Eco Xpo (BEX) Asia and Mostra Convegno Expocomfort (MCE) Asia.


Green Living 2015 boosted an encouraging sign to alert the general public as well as the younger generation on the environmental consciousness. It is positioned as the FIRST lifestyle event that focuses on meeting the needs of eco-conscious consumers and businesses as well as educating the public on how to adopt an ‘eco-lifestyle’.


Meryl and I started off our eco tour by sharing a green tip to get a complimentary cup of frozen yoghurt,
  


BMW showcased their award winning electric and hybrid cars at the event too!
 



We experienced the inaugural BCA Green Office Pop-Up, an interactive ‘green office’ that offers green tips and benefits for office users, building owners and landlords.



  

We also attended the ‘Fashion with Conscience, from Day to Night’ fashion show which was presented by Zhai Collection. The models were the finalists of the Miss Earth Singapore 2015 contest. Zhai is the first eco fashion brand in Singapore.



 Zhai carries a full collection of styles made from bamboo fibre and strives to be an environmentally responsible clothing brand which offers simple, classic and versatile pieces, without compromising on quality, style or affordability. 



At the inaugural Green Living 2015, we saw many interesting exhibits of technology and ideas, participated in fun activities and workshops and gained knowledge on how to lead an eco-lifestyle.



The most innovative item I felt was the Eco Love Machine’ (ELM), where visitors can recycle their plastic bottles and paper cups at the machine, to obtain a reward of a few gifts for this little gesture to live green.   




There was a lined-up of an array of workshops and seminars that helped us to embark on our eco-lifestyle journey.


Homeowners can also join Khai, the city farmer from Microgreens, who will share insights on how to grow your own vegetables and herbs and turn them into healthy meals that nourish the family.


I got my planting kit from Microgreens, and I can’t wait to start planting my organic Oriental Mustard, which takes about 6–10 days to harvest.
 
  




  

 We pledged our thoughts to save the earth and to make a better place for living by printing our palm prints or color our motifs with Nippon Paint to seal our promises!


Thanks Botanicaire for this lovely sushi plant, which I have placed on my office desk. It beautifies my work station as well as to purify the air in a natural way too.


Thanks for the invite and I look forward to the next installment of Green Living in 2016. Showering our love to our Mother Earth starts from us, so let’s ‘Go Green’!

Image
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

[product review] Celladix Sebum Rebalancing RX Ampoule + COCOnCO Skincare Line

Image
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. Although there are many hair products to cleanse my scalp, it is better to head to a professional. The scalp treatments in a salon would cost you more than shelf products but it is worth the investment!

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