Our wedding was featured on Channel News Asia (CNA)

Closer to our wedding day, a friend of mine asked me if I would like to be interviewed about my wedding. Without hesitation, I said yes to the interview. Besides, I was really keen on sharing with other brides on how my current husband and I have overcome the challenges we faced when planning for our big day. Why did we share our story on CNA? Prior to this, I was already actively posting…

Post-wedding Facial: Oxygen Jet Treatment

Post-wedding Facial: Oxygen Jet Treatment

It’s been almost three weeks since the wedding and my skin wasn’t at its best condition. With all the thick makeup slathered across my face during this wedding period, I felt that my skin was super clogged. True enough, my skin surface felt really rough and Indulgence Beauty was my SOS. Oxygen Jet Facial Treatment To rescue my skin, they recommended that I do the Oxygen Jet or Oxy Liqui…

Canon 850D: An Affordable DSLR to level up your photography skills

Canon 850D: An Affordable DSLR to level up your photography skills

When I first got my hands on Canon EOS 850D, I was strangely reminded of its Canon 650D: a camera model which I used to own. It’s one of those cameras which can produce quality shots. Canon 650D is now long gone and it’s no longer available but its prowess still lives in the newer DSLR camera models like EOS 850D. Of course, the EOS 850D is equipped with so much more capabilities and powerful…

Wedding Vendors We've Engaged for our wedding

Wedding Vendors We’ve Engaged for our wedding

It’s 5 days after my wedding and I really can’t wait to churn out this post while everything is still fresh in my head. Inspired by the reviews and posts of graduate Brides on SG Budget Brides Facebook page, here’s my honest reviews of all the wedding vendors I’ve engaged over the past 5 months leading to the actual day of the wedding. Before I go on to write about each individual vendor, it is…

The Day Before My Wedding

The Day Before My Wedding

I starting to feel a littler jittery as the wedding draws near even though there is really no pressure to please anyone. It’s not an exam, performance or an important presentation but a personal celebration. So, why I am feeling all over the place? Months before the wedding, I just simply thought it’s a really simple affair which requires minimum coordination. But who knew that this wedding…

I invested in Singapore's popular Robo-Advisors

I invested in Singapore’s popular Robo-Advisors

Two years ago, I wrote an article about how I got into investing. I even shared about my financial portfolio which covers what I invested in. When I shared this article on Seedly’s Facebook page, a few of the members suggested that I should try using robo-advisors. What is a Robo-advisor? As the name itself suggests, Robo-advisor are digital platforms which employs the use of technology to…

I tried the 'coldest' facial at IDS Aesthetics

I tried the ‘coldest’ facial at IDS Aesthetics

I don’t think I’ve experience anything like this before – a freezing cold facial which literally caused my skin to tighten and my pores contract in an instant. It’s also that facial you need in the upcoming warm months to cool and soothe your skin. And the best part is that this Cryo Therapeutics treatment at IDS Aesthetics only takes 45 minutes. It’s quick and super effective. Cryo Therapeutic…

Making Kaya, Kueh Lapis & Ondeh-ondeh on Hen’s Night

My schedule is quite packed lately and I haven’t really got the time to sit down, reflect and consolidate all my thoughts in a blog post. Thankfully, this weekend I got some time for myself to be creative and write. (You can see how tired I look in the photo above.) A Simple Hen’s Party The wedding is happening in a few weeks’ time and my besties held a simple Hen’s Night to celebrate my big…

I signed up with Giga mobile plan and this is how it went

I started with Circles Life before I switch over to Giga, a sub-brand of StarHub, which offers low-cost mobile plans. I was pleased with Circles Life but I just wanted to find out if I could save more bucks and that was when I met Giga. What’s unique about Giga? There are currently 14 telcos which offer mobile data plans in Singapore. With so many competitors in the telco market, it sort of…

Why I like living alone in a small 2-room apartment

Why I like living alone in a small 2-room apartment

My 2-room HDB apartment I’ve been staying in a 2-room apartment on my own for the past one and a half year and I’ve been enjoying the freedom of living alone. And I believe that everyone should experience what it is like to live alone because it’s life-changing! Previously, I was living under one roof with my parents and two brothers. Living with your folks isn’t exactly a bad thing. It does…

Wedding Gown Rental Review: Warm Whites and The Gown Connoisseur

Wedding Gown Rental Review: Warm Whites and The Gown Connoisseur

Previously, I wrote an article on my wedding gown fitting experience at BQueens. Then I decided to share it on SG Budget brides facebook and I was surprised that it garnered some negative responses about BQueens. Even though there were many positive reviews about this bridal studio, there are also a sea of negative reviews on it. If this bridal studio is really good, then I don’t understand why…

We bought our tungsten wedding rings from Tiara

We bought our tungsten wedding rings from Tiara

I recently bought a matching pair of wedding tungsten rings from Tiara for under $500. If you like me, who truly do not believe in spending thousands on wedding rings, then read on. You don’t have to spend a lot on wedding bands. My fiancé probably would not mind getting a customised ring made of gold and encrusted with diamonds, but at the back of my head, a wedding ring is just a ring. No one…

How eating synbiotic and have improved my gut health

How eating synbiotic and have improved my gut health

I’ve come to learn that many of our bodily functions and healthy in general are very much dependent on our gut health. After making some tweaks to my diet and taking health supplements (like Synbiotic), my bowel movement has become more regular than before. I also started noticing that my skin complexion has also improved significantly and energy levels are up. That is why I’m now an advocate of…

Where do Singaporeans spend their SingapoRediscovers vouchers?

To be really honest, I am not quite sure how I would like to spend my $100 SingapoRediscovers vouchers. First and foremost, $100 isn’t a lot. A typical attraction ticket costs about $20 and a one-night staycation at an average hotel costs in Singapore about $200. What should I spend on? I spent an afternoon browsing through the five authorised SingapoRediscover booking platforms to search for…

Trying Herbalife Nutrition Shakes and Supplements

Trying Herbalife Nutrition Shakes and Supplements

Last month, I took part in Herbalife Nutrition 40th Anniversary Virtual Run and boy it wasn’t easy! As compared to the previous running events I’ve taken part before, this is the most challenging run because you are your own competitor. It’s easy when they are people running alongside you and cheering you on but in a virtual run, you are all by yourself (unless you sign up for the team run). Sad…
