Having been to several events on coffee and tea, I thought I know a little thing or two about this ancient beverage more than the average Joe. It turns out that I still have got a lot to learn about tea after talking to tea expert, Rick Pua. He is one of many tea connoisseurs who are willing to share openly about their knowledge on this widely-consumed beverage and the tea industry in general. To promote the health benefits of tea, Rick started a company called W teas that retails whole tea leaves and tea sets. Rick also conducts tea appreciation workshops and courses to educate the public about tea.…

How sleeping on SleepWiz Mattress Topper has improved my sleeping Posture
I will be moving in temporarily into my parents’ new flat and I cannot wait to move in soon! I am still keeping my fingers crossed. Hopefully, I will be able to move in by the end of July as I am still waiting for home internet broadband to be set up. Since space is a constraint, I wanted to go for a minimalistic style of home interior. Less is more and the fewer items in the house, the better. Instead of purchasing a new spring mattress, I wanted to a foldable lightweight mattress which can be easily maintained. Currently, I am sleeping on a spring mattress which is comfortable…

I drank this Collagen Essence for 16 Days and this was what happened
Most females I know have a sweet tooth. Let’s not even talk about bubble milk tea which most of my colleagues would indulge in on a weekly basis! Do you know that a cup of bubble milk tea can contain up to 20.5 teaspoons of sugar? Too much sugar not only lead to excess weight gain but also aging. How sugar can accelerate aging? Excess sugar binds with the collagen in our skin in a process called glycation. During this process, toxic compounds called Advanced Glycation End products are released which cause wrinkles, fine lines and dark pigments to form. It is quite worrying as I can see all these…

Have You Gone For An Eye Check Yet?
Once or twice a year, we would make visits to the medical centre to get a full-body checkup. But there aren’t many of us in Singapore who would go for a comprehensive eye check. That’s probably because such comprehensive eye examinations are conducted at eye specialist centres and each visit can be very costly. And most of us would think that a visit to the regular optical shop for a basic eye check (vision screening) is deemed sufficient. But in reality, such eye checks are not very thorough and certain eye conditions and diseases can only be detected using special equipment, like the ones innovated by Essilor. Essilor Essilor, an…

Hygiene Starts with Your Hands
Show Me Your Hands. Which body part do you deem as the most useful? For me, it’s got to be my pair of hands which allows me to do a thousand and one things with ease. Because my hands are constantly in contact with things in the environment, germs and bacteria can easily flourish on them. Since the only time we get to wash our hands is when we make an intentional trip to the toilet, you want to make sure that your hands are cleansed thoroughly each time you visit the toilet. How many times in a day do you wash your hands thoroughly with soap? Water on its…

3-Day Juice Cleanse Journey with EGA Juice Clinic
What’s a Juice Cleanse? It must have been two years since I last did a juice cleanse. I enjoy drinking fruit and vegetable juices so sipping juices all day without having any solid food seems doable. I especially enjoy the after-effects of a juice cleanse too. You will feel invigorated and energized after a 3 or 5-day juice cleanse. During a juice cleanse, your digestive system takes a good rest as it does not need to work so hard to digest the liquids. Juice shops often prepare cold-pressed juices with a right amount of nutrients to meet the nutritional needs of our body for those doing a juice cleanse. Since the…
