Chatuchak Thai Tea & Coffee @ Icon Village (Tanjong Pagar)

Sawadee-ka~
A new thai snack place has landed in Tanjong Pagar Icon Village where you can get your Thai Milk Tea and Egglet craving fix anytime. Introducing Chatuchak Thai Milk Tea & Coffee.

Chatuchak Thai Tea and Coffee's beverages all have reduced sugar level to suit local palate because if we go for the original Thai version, it will be very very sweet. All ingredients they use are from Thailand and the tea leaves they use is from a famous Thai supplier which 80% of Thai food businesses in Thailand use this same brand.

Chatuchak Thai Tea and Coffee's egglets are handmade fresh daily with fresh milk (from Thailand), fresh eggs and ingredients, only uses premium grade flour, no preservatives. They are made fresh on the spot so you are surely getting the freshest egglets which are best eaten warm with those little crispy edges.

As shared earlier, their thai milk tea is really not that sweet at all, suitable for anyone to enjoy. They offer a wide range of flavours and some special ones like Greentea Cocoa, which was a beautiful blend of greentea with dark cocoa. It's almost like a chocolate coated matcha ice cream but melted version.

You can choose to have your egglets on its own or you can opt for the Egglet with Ice Cream for a instagrammable treat! Mix and match your egglet flavour with a choice of ice cream, I would recommend their charcoal cheese waffle with coconut ice cream.

Elizabeth Arden Gelato Crush Collection

What happens when a make up brand pairs up with a delicious treat? An awesome collaboration of beauty and yummy. Elizabeth Arden has collaborated with Alfero Gelato for their latest Gelato Crush Colour Collection! YES! YES! YES!

There are a total of 10 shades of Lip Liners, 4 shades of Cool Glow Cheek Tint and 22 shades of Plush Up Lip Gelato. Be spoilt for choices thinking which one you want to try first as they all sound so enticing and the colours are gorgeous!

Did you know:
Authentic Italian Gelato Marco Alfero, founder of Alfero Gelato, came from Turin, Italy to Singapore in October 2009 to deliver us “il paradiso” (“heaven” in Italian). Crowned the Best Ice Cream Parlour by RAS Epicurean Star Award Singapore, Alfero Gelato is made using only the finest quality ingredients imported from Italy and other parts of Europe. Also, Alfero is known for making their gelato 96% FAT FREE and with FREE-RANGE MILK, you can definitely indulge GUILT-FREE.

Let's take a look at the colours shall we?
I've got 2 Plush Up Lip Gelato in Flirty Fushia and Pink Lemonade, 1 Plump Up Lip Liner in Vintage Pink and the Cool Glow Cheek Tint in Pink Perfection.

I love the sleek black shiny packaging and there is a special way to open the Lip Gelato. You slide up the branding panel on the tube and pop comes the lippie. And you can just slide it back and lock it with a pop sound.

Here are the swatches with flash. I feel that the colours are so wearable from light pink to flirty pink to nude pinks. 

Here is me buay paiseh selfie for you to see. The lighting was too harsh so the blush could not be seen T__T. But..But.. look at my lips lined with the Vintage Pink Lip Liner, I like the nude colour which is very wearable and it feels like I have nothing on my lips.

Here I have topped it off with the Flirty Fushia Plush Up Lip Gelato. It gives me a rosier complexion which I love. It makes me look more awake and ready to take on the world! Ok, just kidding. But it definitely makes the overall look brighter. What do you think?

Beauty Product Haul - Jeffree Star, EM Cosmetics, Makeup Monster and more

Hello Hello everyone! I'm back to share with you my "not so" recent beauty haul Bangkok and US. I got quite a number of lippies from the US and mostly face products from Bangkok! There are brands like Em Cosmetics, Jeffree Star and Gino McCray! So read on to find out more!

From left to right: 1. Gino McCray Blusher in No. 4 Sandra Rose. 2. Srichand Original Scented Powder. 3. Srichand Tanaka Gold Powder Mask

I went crazy searching for shops that sell the Srichand Tanaka Gold Powder Mask as I saw many bloggers raving about it. But when I visited Eve&Boy, It was SOLD OUT! Then I went to every drugstore available and I found them fully stocked in Watsons. Most of the Watsons I visited have them in stock. Happy me swept the shelve clean, HAHA no la. Kidding only. Tip: Show the staff photos of the products you wanna buy in Thailand as they could not understand when I ask them for the brand "Srichand". Lol.

The Gino McCray Rose Gold Blush in No.4 Sandra Rose was a super LAST MINUTE purchase. I swatched it at the Beauty Buffet store in MBK center but I did not purchase it then as I thought that I won't use it. But the next two days, it kept floating in my mind and I told myself I had to get it. But, I could not find it in the other Beauty Buffet Stores! I had to visit many different shopping malls and I was lucky to have found it in Central World Beauty Buffet Store, my last stop before I headed to the Airport. Haha.

Next up is my US Lippie Haul, I got afew brands to try out. 1. Jeffree Star Velour Liquid Lip in GEMINI, 2. EM Cosmetics Infinite Lip Cloud in Faded Clementine, 3. Make Up Monster in Hit the Dirt, 4. Make Up Monster in Sedona, 5. AOA Studio Wonder Matte Liquid Lip in Fab, Litt, Doll and Sugar.

Would you believe that each of the AOA Studio Wonder Matte Lippie is only USD $1? YES THEY ARE! Haha. I have swatched them all but my favourite would have to be Sugar. It the right shade of Pink and Plum mixture. I would post up another post on all my lippie swatches, I'm really looking forward to that. Haha.

I have also been using the Makeup Monster in Sedona and Jeffree Star GEMINI to death, I love all these nude colours and I am So tempted to get more! According to the most comfortable to the least comfortable one, they would be in the following order: 1. Jeffree Star, 2. EM cosmetics, 3. Makeup Monster, 4. AOA Studio.

I hope that you got to know a little more about the many US Brand lip products and I hope I have introduced some of your favourite brands here as well.

Today I'm here to share a company that aims to create Zero Waste World, to make Mother Earth a better place to stay in. Trove of Gaia is founded by fellow beauty blogger June Fong.

"Curating a series of brands hand picked from around the world, we offer a variety of food, skincare and household products for your everyday needs. We aim to provide you a selection of quality eco-friendly products stemmed from sustainable practices and fair-trade conditions."

Trove of Gaia is founded by June and she spent so much effort into make this a reality. Taking a step forward towards a Zero Waste society is what June is doing, baby steps each day. Take a look at some of the daily items that we all replace with sustainable products instead. From Cotton Pads to Cotton Buds and toothbrush.

I DID NOT KNOW this was possible!! June highly recommends this for ladies to try it out.

Would you like to try out the Bamboo toothbrush? It sounds really interesting, I wonder how it feels in the mouth as I have very tender gums.

I was really excited and I ordered the resuable makeup washable cotton pads! Cute packaging, very Raw and I love it!

The designs comes at random and they each look so cute and are so soft to touch. I tried them one day and it feels so good on the skin. You just have to wash it with make up brush cleanser soap and they are ready for the next use! How convenient.

Do check our Trove of Gaia on Facebook and on their blog as well. Three cheers to a better world, start with going for sustainable sources products. Hip Hip hurray~

Artistry Hair Professional - Hair Treatment Magic

Hello Hello~ I have a new hair project again this time, every visit to Artistry is full of surprises. This time, Elein will be trying to create a multi-dimension hair project for me using coloured hair treatment mask! This way, my hair would not be damaged, but instead will be moisturized and coloured at the same time. However, the colours are not permanent, they will wash out within 3-5 washes of hair, so it's fun and safe to try.

I am so happy with the results, and under different lighting, you will see different colours and styles. There are hues of purple, pink and ash. Every head turn is a different look. I would believe it is a trending hair trend now where stylists can try out and every time the results will be different.

It is amazing how Pink based hair mixed with Ash colour hair treatment mask can turn it into a beautiful Ash Purple colour. You can call up Elein at Artistry to ask for the price of the hair mask so that you can try your own hair experiment at home.

Close up look at the colours on my hair under sunlight. PURPLEEEEEEEEEE and ASH! I LOVE IT!

Do remember to like Artistry Hair Professional Facebook Page so that you can get the latest updates on their attractive promotions and you can also browse their albums for hair inspirations.

You can quote "Michelle" or "Michhysaurous" when you book your other hair services at Artistry Hair Professional to enjoy up to 30% OFF Hair Services.

Flat Tummy and Overall Wellness with Nature's Glory

As the world gets more and more creative, we as consumers are getting spoilt for choices as well. From many different types of food to the wide array of beauty products to try. And in the process, we might build up toxins in our body unknowingly. But how many of us do really detox our body to achieve overall wellness? Well, I regret to say that I don't, and it is NOT good...



I am recently introduced to Nature's Glory Flat Tummy, which comes in a sachet of powder which you mix in water to consume to help achieve a better overall body health by detox and it also helps to reduce bloating. It is a product from Japan, so that's why I trust it even more.

What does Flat Tummy Contain:
It is a unique combination of friendly Probiotics and Prebiotics (lactose, oligosaccharides, Hatomugi Pearl Barley, plant enzymes) proven and tested by millions of users for over 28 years in Japan. Unlike most probiotics, the special strains of live Bifidus and Lactobacillus are able to withstand gastric juices and heat of up to 85 degrees C, reaching the intestines alive. Inside the intestine, with the special prebiotic combination, these living friendly bacteria proliferate and help loosen impacted faeces, break down harmful toxins in the intestinal system, reduce harmful bacteria and improve intestinal environment. Due to gentle action of the probiotics, usually no abdominal pain is experienced (unlike laxatives).



Also, the ingredients used in Flat Tummy are pure, safe and without herbal stimulants. Users often report much better bowel movement, and eased constipation, reduced belly swell, slimmer waist line, smoother and brighter skin, reduced body odour, reduced shoulder pain and even stabilised blood pressure.



Contraindications: Loose stools may be experienced after 2-4 hours of consumption, but do not worry. Effect usually wears off and stops within 2-3 hours. Those with stubborn constipation may experience bloated-ness / belly up due to increased movement due to stripping of impacted stool on the intestinal walls. Bowel movement may not happen on the same day of consumption but will improve with regular use of Flat Tummy.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I also got the Nano Energy Booster (NEB) Patch which is like a a restorative software programme is written, which is programmed into a small metalised patch. The patch contains a material similar to a DVD. We burn the restorative programme into the patch, then it is placed into a special energetic chamber, when it emerges from this chamber, the material is charged and can present the energetic programme as a "field of information”, which the body can understand. This can be used as a "reboot" for the immune system. Once this restorative information is received by the body and the mind, the natural immune system responds to the pathogens or virus immediately. Since we can now understand the mind and the body’s energetic network language, we can now restore the correct "pre-cursor messaging” and reboot the body to respond correctly.

There are 4 types of NEB patches and each patch can last about a week before you need to replace them.

(A) Sleep Support - to restore your energy for your best natural sleep patterns

(B) Comfort/Pain-Tens Support - to provide energy to reduce observable pain (such as body ache/headache)

(C) Cold/Flu-Bacteria Support - to help with bacterial infections supporting the immune system

(D) Candida (UTI) Support - for LADIES only, for fungal infestations, in candida fungus, yeast and fungus based vaginal infection

I got the Sleep Support one as well as the UTI one to try out. I have been having bad sleep patterns and I am excited to try the sleep support one. I just have to place the patch on my pillow on the spot where my head rests on and change it weekly.

I noticed that my sleep quality have improved and I do notice slightly that I wake up to better energy than before. The patches are very flat so there is no disturbance to my sleep or any discomfort to my head at all.

For the UTI one, I has to paste the patch on the White card and put it in my left bra and carry it around with me for the whole day. To be honest, it was a little uncomfortable but bearable. I did not feel any special difference but I believe that my body is slowly improving within to prevent any UTI related virus.

I wish to thank Nature's Glory for being the choice for organic health and wellness product. Do note that they have FREE delivery for orders above $150 on their online shop. I have shared so many great products from Nature's Glory, so it should be easy for you to hit the $150 quota. Hehe.

Thank you for reading, With Love, M
