Kelong Adventure!

Posted on Tuesday, April 26, 2016

Instead of having our usual seafood feast on Singapore shores, we decided to head out to the source itself - the Kelong and fish farms! It's been about 5-6 years since I last stepped on one, and this is Justin's first time on a Singaporean one so he was quite apprehensive about the quality of the seafood (since our waters aren't the cleanest), but we were super surprised by how fresh the ingredients were (the drunken prawns were a standout!). And since Jo and Mok couldn't come (boo!), we literally had more than our fill of seafood cause normally there never is enough (so no boo? HAHA, kidding, you guys were missed!)

To get to the Kelong, we took a boat (about 15-20 mins out) which was $80.00 for 10 pax. For the food it was $350.00 minimum, regardless of the number of people. There was 8 of us but it was more than enough - I suppose 10 pax would have been just nice! We had to bring our own drinks, but there were amenities such as a cooler on the Kelong so we didn't need to bring ice, phew. There are other Kelongs you can go to, and the price would probably differ. Drop me a message if you want to know the contact :)

So yep, a  nice change of activities and things to do on (or off?) our little island. Who says Singapore is boring?

Shades of Spring with Skin Inc

Posted on Friday, April 22, 2016

Even though we don't get four seasons here in Singapore, I do feel in the mood for spring when I see my Instagram feed loaded with pretty pastels of cherry blossoms and what not! Anyway, I've received more goodies from Skin Inc - this time a limited edition range of My Daily Dose bottles in Rose Quartz and Serenity (S$169.00 each), inspired by the Pantone Colours of 2016! Heh, so I always thought that just Rose Quartz alone was the colour of the year, but it turns out so is Serenity (am I the only one?) - and they both represent equality and balance each other out perfectly.

The ingredients for this range are pre-selected - a Spring Concoction for Rose Quartz, containing Ceramide to strengthen skin's barrier, Collagen to plump skin and improve suppleness and Vitamin A for a rosy glow; and a Heat & Haze concoction for Serenity, containing Ceramide as well to strengthen skin's barrier, Hyaluronic Acid to replenish moisture and French Pine Bark to fight againt free radicals!

I've been jumping between the two bottles - and the dropper is kind of addictive (also now in rose gold!) I know the bottle looks small (30ml), but I only use around 2-3 drops each time and it's more than enough to cover my face, so it definitely lasts quite a while!

Anyway, what stands out to me the most about Skin Inc product is how they have no smell. It's almost like revolutionary, because all beauty brands have their "signature scent", which is great too -but it feels "cleaner" when a product has no scent because it feels like I didn't put anything on! I  know results can't come some soon, but I've been using these two consistently for the past week and I really feel that my skin looks so much more vibrant already... or maybe I'm biased?

But seriously, try it yourselves guys. I feel so pampered by their cool and sturdy glass bottles, just looking at them alone makes me happy!

Island Cafe

Love Bonito Rohais Knit Sash Dress | Forever 21 Ribbed Camel Turtleneck

So even though I've been out of school for a while and my job is pretty solitary and most of my friends having normal jobs to go to on weekdays, I find it interesting how I still have the chance to meet new people through Instagram! Luckily for me, dear Georgina of @seaofknit was free to hang at a space I've been wanting to go to for a while - Island Cafe at Tangs. So much inspo, so much salted egg fries, so much talking... and photo taking, of course :3

Anyway, I'm loving my outfit for the day - I've had this Love Bonito dress and top in my closet for ages (some of you may recognise the top from TOC's Sara Kate photoshoot, haha) and got inspired by the new layering trend to create something new from two existing pieces! Love how a casual dress can suddenly become work-appropriate... though not that I have an office to go to (*half cries half laughs*).

Anyway, can't wait to meet up with Georgi again once her sem is over :)
