The Showerhead Innovation I enjoy watching Facebook feed videos on the latest innovations and useful inventions to date. It excites me to think of how our lives could be improved and transformed for the better. This showerhead with Vitamin C filter by SONAKI, for instance, is one of those innovations which would greatly benefit those who face health and skin issues with chlorinated water. This vitamin C filter is said to filter out chlorine present in the water. Our water supply from the public utilities is sanitised with chemicals to keep it safe for consumption.

Randy Indulgence: ACAI BOWL, SHIOK!
Whenever there's a new Acai shop in town, I will make sure I'm one of the first to try it. My favourite version of Acai bowl is one with a right mix of fruits and crunchy toppings like granola and nuts. I prefer frozen Acai which has more of a sorbet-like icy texture, and Randy Indulgence seemed to have got the ratio of Acai pulp and frozen fruits right.

There are indeed several food options around Singapore that offer delicious, healthy meals but they’re more often pricey compared to food served at our local hawker or food court. Â But does it necessarily have to be more expensive? Why do they cost more than a plate of Chicken rice or a bowl of fishball noodles? Before we delve further into that, let’s take a look at what goes into a healthy dish or meal. These are often made in-house, and consist of fresh salad ingredients (which are highly perishable) as…

Ganbanyoku Singapore : Have You Tried Stone Bathing?
If you have been following my blog, you will know that I’ve tried several wellness therapies before. From TCM to Ayurvedic healing, I’ve done it all. These therapies are often natural and have no side effects on the body, but there can be some level of discomfort during the process. They are often very costly as well, and not everyone can afford it. I was actually searching for a more sustainable and affordable alternative out in the market. In this post, I am excited to share that I’ve finally found a more sustainable natural therapy which is more affordable and more importantly, effective. It’s none other than Ganbanyoku (岩盤浴),…
