Another Christmas Goes By

Posted on Thursday, January 12, 2017

I love Christmas parties at Jo's cause this girl always goes all out on decor and food is usually super festive, enough to get you in a real warm and fuzzy mood.


HELLO SAID HOST. 

Justin and I show up early to cook at her place (since his stove wasn't working) 
+ help out around with the party prep!


The matcha lava cake was SO GOOD I may have eaten a bit more than my fair share, keke


Is it bad that I think the raw chicken already looks delicious. I think the anticipation of the final product is enough to make me drool!


Being silly in between, and check out Jo's evil secret santa gift, haha. She refused to let anyone touch it all night until we played the actual game! (Also my dress is from Grana - quote MONICAxGRANA to get 10% off + Free Worldwide shipping till 31 Jan 2017!!)



Mok's "Mok-tail", lolol.


Food's finally done and the last few guests trickle in.... and it's time to feast! I think we portioned very well this year,  if I do say so myself :D


And there goes another Christmas! It's weird to wait for something the whole year, then it's just gone in a flash and here we are waiting for CNY. Every year I ask myself what Christmas means to me, especially not being religious, but I guess it's just an opportunity to gather with old and new friends, and give one last cheer to the end of the year before we get back to our busy lives, which is... now.

Honey, Ginseng, Kiehl's

Posted on Friday, January 6, 2017

Popped by the launch of Kiehl's all new Pure Vitality Skin Renewing Cream as Mong Chin's plus one (♥) and now my bureau is all swagged up in everything Kiehl's! Made our own tea concoction (mine was green tea +peppermint + cinnamon), bumped into many familiar faces, stuffed my face with all the Kiehl's themed goodies!


 River Island Lace Camisole | Topshop Trousers 

The Kiehl's Pure Vitality Skin Renewing Cream is the 4th in line of Kiehl's best-selling moisturisers, and contains Manuka Honey from New Zealand, which helps protect the skin from environmental stressors like UV damage and pollution; and Red Ginseng Root from Korea. It launches in Singapore this month (January 2017) and will retail at S$95.00 for 50ml!

On personal use, the cream is slightly heavier than their best selling Ultra Facial Cream and takes more time to absorb into the skin, so I like using this one more at night where I have more time to let it really sit and have all the goodness soak in to my skin; but it really stays with you all day (and smells great)!

I'm not one of those people who believe in 100% organic products and I feel that science does have a part to play in our skincare, so I personally love how to Kiehl's brand balances both nature and science for a product that truly has efficacy!

Also, for the month of Jan-Feb 2017, if you purchase any of Kiehl's limited edition versions of it's moisturisers (the Ultra Facial Cream, Ultra Facial Oil-Free Gel Cream, or the Super Multi-Corrective Cream), S$2 of the proceeds will go to the Children's Cancer Foundation! So what better time to stock up for the year and help out a great cause!

Wedding Bells

So Justin and I were just discussing how weird it is to finally be old enough that when our friends get married / pregnant, we can actually be happy for them (instead of worried about their life choices, haha). Anyway, November and December was super packed with weddings - I still feel a bit young to actually be getting married so I've just been enjoying watching other people do so and the general pomp and circumstance that comes with the dressing up, the nice meals and catching up with old / new friends. And of course, like all girls, I have been taking some notes and giving some thought to what I truly want for my own wedding (when that day comes), but till then... I prefer to just be relatively stress free as the wedding guest!
