Ireland’s Potatoes at Bugis+

Have you tried the fries from Taiwanese Brand – Ireland’s Potato located at Bugis #04-01? It’s an interesting concept… being a Taiwanese Franchise and calling themselves Ireland’s Potato. I just had to ask the owner about the history behind it. You can read all about their history here but in summary, Ireland’s Potato is named as such because they are inspired by the Irish’s passion for potatoes (due to a potato famine). But this is a popular fries franchise hailing from Taiwan! And they are…

How SK-II changes my skin

SK-II is truly one of the brands I am very much in love with, and that’s saying a lot from a beauty blogger who is always reviewing the latest in beauty products. SK-II knows that the skin is unique to an individual. That is they have developed the Magic Ring that uses in-depth facial imaging and digital analysis where skin is graded and given an instant numerical score. This skin score is derived from quantifying and qualifying baseline conditions in…

Creating Waves in my hair

Sometimes I love a bunch of good, bouncy curls at the lower part of my hair and other times, I realised, I love having slight waves too! :) This is what I discovered when I used the Panasonic Multi-Styling Straightener recently to spruce up my hairdo! Now now, let’s take a look at what we have. You can control the heat modes with 5 levels of temperature setting (1 being the lowest at 130′C and 5 at 170′C) to suit…

Medzs at Orchard Central

MEDZS is quite like Marche, except it offers Mediterranean food. Located at the Basement 2 level of Orchard Central, it makes for a great place to meet & chillwith friends. I was here once before on a Friday evening at 7.30pm and the queue was long. :( I waited for about 30 mins before we were showed into the waiting area and another 15 mins before we got our table. It didn’t feel that long though cos thankfully we were…

Fragrance: HUGO RED for men

RED MEANS STOP. Fronting the advertisements of HUGO BOSS’s new scent HUGO Red is Hollywood A-lister Jared Leto. What does HUGO BOSS say about the fragrance? A dynamic fragrance full of hot and cold tension daring you to be unique. 2013 also marks the 20th anniversary of HUGO, a brand that has always striven to challenge traditional rules and ideals. And I kinda think the way the HUGO RED bottle really stands out. The Red bottle is coated in a…

Care for your neck

Looks like Enavose has knocked on my doors again with another interesting product. The Enavose Cellogist Neck Lift Cream! Winner of the Cozycot Holy Grail Beauty Awards 2011, this product is not to be missed. As we grow older, the loss of collagen and elasticity make all your skin, not just your face, more prone to wrinkles, sagging, and uneven coloration as you age. In fact, the skin on the neck is even thinner than on the face, making it…
