I miss putting up an outfit
and sale finds here on the blog, blame it on the very busy work week, including
Saturday, I don’t have that much time to write and take photos. But thankfully, the work shift has now allowed me to be free every weekend. I already enjoyed my 3 work free weekends, and now I
am ready again to commit on posting great finds, and sharing my inspirations to
keep everything chic and lovely!
Ladies, let me share my
past 2 weekends in photos, I get to wear the other floral romper which I
purchased some time ago, (click here for
the link), get a new hat, just because …… I know it’s not a typical outfit accessory
but a good floppy hat really helps especially when you are walking around on a
sunny day. Aside from getting it for
only $5, yes believe it! , the color really helps up to brighten your OOTD. So without further ado, here are my off days summary in photos!
This maroon Floppy Brim Hat completes my OOTD, I got it online for $5 only.
My hat and these colored stone walls.
Walk with me to Sentosa
How did I manage to balance and still strike a pose? I can coz I'm at the Trick Eye Museum
How can I not share this with you? Pretty girls enjoying posing too!
Enjoyed the day with these ladies.
Of course there is no better way to end up a day than to get a blueberry ice cream.
Cheers to the long weekend
and hello lovelies! So much stuff has
been going on nowadays, that’s why a long hiatus again from the blog, (a weeklong
vacation to the Philippines, and moving to a different apartment) with all
these crazy but sweet busyness including the constant change of weather, I think
my skin needs a 911.
A have a couple of breakouts
that has left some dark spots on my skin. To help me out on these dilemma, I tried
Palmer's White and Even Range:
Palmer’s
White & Even CBB Cream – it’s a cream that has a
multifunctional formula that targets discoloration and spot while providing
natural pigment-perfecting coverage and SPF 15 protection, helping to prevent
darkening from recurring.
Palmer’s
White & Even Dark Spot Corrector – this formula delivers a concentrated
dose of advanced ingredients to target discoloration such as age spots, dark
spots, post acne scars and sun damage, to even skin tone.
There are a lot of causes that leads to
discoloration of the skin – to much exposure to the sun which becomes worse
with age, acne scarring (my case!) severe dryness, pregnancy, birth control pills
or hormone replacement therapy. My breakouts
caused some dark spots on my cheeks, so now I’m using the Palmer's White &
Even CBB Cream as base before I put on make-up, it offers just about the right
coverage, its very light and smells good too! At night after cleansing my skin,
I apply the Palmer’s White and Even Dark Spot Corrector, oh I love the white
lily fragrance, over a week’s use, I noticed that the spots has become a bit
lighter.
Its available at Watsons, Guardian, BHG, Robinsons, John Little, Essentials Pharmacy, Nishino Pharmacy,
all leading pharmacies, departmental and cosmetics stores.
I’m sure you’ve been to lots
of vacation which entails long exposure to the sun, so give your skin some 911
and try some of these Palmer's White and Eventone perfecting range. Its offers
unique skin gone correcting formula, potent but gentle ingredients that helps
reduce hyper-pigmentation, free of parabens, sulphates, synthetic dyes and
fragrance.
Love your skin ladies and
happy weekend!
xoxo,
Clyde

Yay
to May! In honor of the yearly celebrations in the Philippines – the Flores de
Mayo (Spanish for "Flowers of May") and because we love floral print
outfits for our summer ensembles, I’m sharing to you this sweet deals I got on
my weekly hunting mall trips.
I
rarely get clothes that are printed, let alone floral ones but this flirty wrap
play suit that I came across last weekend was really hard not to get. I absolutely love the cut and style of the
jumpsuits – so why not get three! It was originally price at S$29 but was marked
down at S$10 each! Sweet deal right?
Romper 1 - Can be worn with flats or heels,
this playsuit has a distinctive frilled hemline.
Cotton On
Romper 2 - Playsuit has a button down front and gathered waist,
Style with heels to take your look from day to night
Cotton On
Romper 3 - I have to get one in white!
Cotton On

Suri Romper by : Urban Outfitters
Jumpsuit with Fringe by: H&M

for a more stylish look.
Summer
is really here, and I bet you've just been on a swimming trip last holiday. It’s been really a while since I've been to
the beach so last Easter Sunday together with friends we hit the beach. The long hour drive and the fear of leaving
something behind whenever on a vacation (wink …becoming forgetful), I do not
bring gold or precious jewelry on trips. Have the same fear as mine? If you
have, this latest trend is really a must have for your future getaway, concert
or party event that you're planning to go to.Ladies have you tried Metallic tattoos?
They're so cute, no need to worry
about missing a piece of jewelry when
on vacation!
Oh hi Bey!
Metallic
tattoos are very pretty and chic, they can be worn by itself or match it with
your other fashion accessories, and they really look adorable. They can be worn as a necklace, bracelet,
ring, anklet and just anywhere! Tattoos are not just for kids anymore, I’ve
seen them a lot on TV, magazines, celebrities, fashion bloggers and models.
They are pretty easy to put on, just make sure you skin is free from oil or
creams, remove the clear cover and position the design carefully, press with
wet cloth to transfer and let design set. It can last up to a week.
You can order them online or purchase it from your favorite accessory shops.

Wednesday ladies, today I’m going to share to you my Oil Pulling experience. You know I would try almost anything especially
when it comes to staying healthy, beauty regimen, product or treatments. But
first, what is Oil Pulling?
Oil Pulling is
an ancient Ayurvedic dental technique that involves swishing a tablespoon of
oil in your mouth on an empty stomach for around 10-20 minutes. This action
supposedly draws out toxins in your body. When you oil pull, you increase the
production of saliva and the toxins in your saliva get trapped in the oil. This
helps improve oral health and also aids overall health.
I'm using this brand, got it for $12
How
to do it?
Pick
an oil- Most people use coconut oil, because it has a strong antibacterial
properties. I’m using Organic Coconut Oil.
Take
a tablespoon of it and swish it for about 10-20 mins.This is best done first thing in the morning,
on an empty stomach. Think of it as a natural mouth wash.
After
20 minutes, spit it out on the toilet or trash, not on the sink as it will clog
your drain.
Swish
warm water and brush as you normally would.
I
know some of you might not like the idea of swishing oil, it wasn't easy for me
too on my first and second day, gag reflexes a few times, but because of the
detoxifying properties and of course beauty, onward I went! The coconut oil smells wonderful, like macaroon
and sugar cookies and oil is basically tasteless, so on my fourth day I was
used to it and would actually look forward to do it first thing in the morning.
It’s
been two weeks my mouth did feel WAY cleaner afterward, my teeth have been less
sensitive to cold too. I don’t know about the other effects, but it
claims to whiten teeth, strengthen gums/teeth, prevents cavities & gingivitis,
general body detox, helps get rid of
acne and other skin care issues and even helps cure hangover. Love it or hate it, but ladies it’s a thumbs up for me, a very inexpensive way to get rid of body toxins
and bacteria in your mouth.
What’s
your crazy morning routine? Smile ladies, let me know if you’re willing to try
Oil Pulling.
Hello
Ladies! Bikini season is just around the corner, are you summer
ready? The holidays - Christmas, New Year ,Chinese New Year and PH vacay
has contributed to my weight gain, and since the 3rd week of
February I been trying to shed them. Today I want to share to you how I’m
getting ready for my summer outfits, below are my 5 tips to help you achieve
your desired bod!
( it’s usually 14 days,
but I shared it with a friend) Check out their site, they will tell you
what to eat and avoid during your cleanse, they also have a free downloadable
eating plan that is best when accompanied by their tea.
2. H20 all
the way– after the holiday I gave up soda, sugary juices, flavored water, and cream on my coffee, they all add up ladies. Just enjoy your water,
anyway they cost less than any other beverages.
3. Bragg’
Apple Cider Vinegar– I know most of you ladies will not agree, but even Dr. Oz
approves this product, he even calls it the swimsuit slimdown drink of choice.
Simply mix 1 cup of grapefruit juice with 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar.
The juice is loaded with vitamin C, which will help you burn fat faster,
especially during exercise. I haven’t tried with grapefruit yet, I’ve been taking it with water, twice a day – in the morning before
breakfast and at night 1 hr before dinner. Since taking it, my craving
has been less, I easily get full too!
4. Share – I
allow myself to eat whatever I want once a week, in those cases, I share half of it with a friend! Remember share the food, share the calorie.
5. Exercise –
weight loss is 80% diet and 20% exercise, no pain no gain ladies. A 30 minute
workout for me is enough 3x a week, or if you’re too lazy you can try the one
song work out.
My
personal weight loss journey is a combination of all five listed above, find
what’s best for you. I feel our bodies are very unique and that it helps
to find what works best for your body.
Good luck
ladies, have faith, I believe we can achieve the body we want.
It’s the weekend! It’s also the weekend
before my favourite month, December! It
makes me think back about the things I have done and accomplished and what I
have done that I wouldn’t want to do again. Last year I promised to myself that I will try
at least 3 things that I never tried before. This 2014 I have accomplished two
of them and one pretty major! I am now in a different country, the life and
change is so much better, how about you ladies, I know change is very difficult
but it’s the only permanent thing in this world. What’s on your top 3 Bucket
List for 2015?
Here is my List:
1. Travel - my top 2 destination is Japan and Australia.
I have friends who live in these country, I would love to visit and spend a week with them.
2. Design a dress - I know I should leave it to the Pro, but wouldn't it be nice to have your design and wear it too.
sketchsideas.com
3. Have the most comfortable , cosy bed - last time in my old apartment which I stayed in for 4 years, it took me 3 bed mattress change just because i don't feel its comfortable enough.
Let me know what's yours, enjoy the weekend loves!
It’s the most awaited time of the year again
girls, I’m sure you are now preparing your house to get that Christmas thing
going on and starting a list of what to give family and friends this
holiday. Gift shopping is definitely on
the weekend agenda right? Yes, guilty of
that, and I felt it’s an excuse to get flats that will help me navigate malls
easily.
I was lucky to find this comfy sidewalk surfer shoes from Sanuk. What’s best is its 50% off! What a way to start my Christmas shopping.
I like to wear flip flops or sandals whenever I
go to the mall but because of the volume of people in the mall, I like to
keep my feet covered for protection, just in case somebody step on my foot.
