‘Che Figata’ is an Italian slang that means cool or awesome. This Italian cafe at South Beach, right opposite Suntec City Mall, easily stood out among other coffee roasters in Marina Bay District area with its slow-roasted coffee beans, eco-chic furnishings, and green ethos. If I hadn’t stepped into this cafe and to discover its story,…
I stopped buying clothes. I often re-wear what’s left in my wardrobe or hand-me-downs from my relatives. Being fashionable is a secondary concern to me. I go for comfort and simplicity. Even if I really do have to buy a new set of clothes for myself, I tend to go for comfortable basics which would…
This world is heavily digitalized but we still rely on paper for certain things to exchange information. One of such is name cards. A green way is to print out name cards on recycled and eco-friendly paper but it is usually more expensive to do so. I mean the best situation is, of course, to…
I was stoked after getting to know about new Tulasara™ advanced performance skin care at Aveda’s store in Capitol Piazza. It is more than just the product itself but a ritual which is inspired by Ayurveda. The Tulasara™series includes the Radiant Awakening Ritual and Concentrates.

Their…
Great skin starts from deep within. I would suppose that if you are given a clean bill of health, your organ systems would be functioning well. You will look and feel great too. However, if internally you are unwell, it would reflect on your skin. That is why whenever I am under great stress, ate…
Our city has evolved into this urbanized landscape which looks very concrete in outlook even with the trees and shrubs around that ‘greenify‘ the surroundings. If you are visiting Singapore for the first time, you wouldn’t even believe that this city was once a fishing village with limited resources. The only rural part of Singapore…
So you’ve probably heard of roasted, baked and raw nuts. But have you came across activated nuts before? These are nuts which are soaked in salt water for prolonged hours so that the nuts start to sprout. They are then subjected to dehydration at low temperature to preserve their nutritive value.

My holy grail to dampen pimple growth was Oxy10. My mum would rave so much about how Oxy10 cured her zits and so being her obedient daughter, I started using it to treat pimples. It was effective at first but I soon realise that it couldn’t be used to treat acne for long, especially those…
