Lash & Co Studio, an eyelash spa specialized in lashes

Ever since the day I put my lashes in the good hands of Kim, the founder of Lash &Co Studio (formerly know as Kim's Stylash) , lash extension has now become a necessity to me, ranking top on my beauty maintenance regime.

 It was just the beginning journey of my pageant days when I often turn to Kim to prepare my flutter-worthy lashes to rock the stage and interviews. Lash extentions add volume and length naturally to your lashes, from long dramatic Bambi style that is good for special occasions, to the natural neat curls for the day to day look. Kim can customise the right lash design for your eye shape,giving you that natural romantic doe-eye effect that you dream of. 

The greatest advantage of lash extension is that it gives lashes a rich and luxurious look, minimizing the amount of makeup needed to pile on your face (yeah no more dumb mascara gobs and eyeliner smudges) and you wake up every single morning with selfie-ready face and whats that not to love?

(Kim, the founder of Lash&Co Studio is also a gorgeous looking mommy who takes really beautiful portraits as well.)

Initially, Kim started off at a relatively quaint little salon at Midpoint Orchard as an "one-man-show. " In her relentless pursuit of lash perfection, she constantly strive to educate and further develop herself on new types of quality lashes, techniques and latest lash fashion. She treats her lashes craft-work as an art form to be polished and is very passionate with what she does. At that time, she believes in focusing only on lashes and be the best in it, with a strong dedication to exceed customers' expectations.  It didn't take long for Kim's reputation to grow as she found solid support and confidence in her satisfied clients to propel forward to expanding her business. It took her around one year to open a bigger and cozier outlet at Riverside Point with a strong team of experienced lash specialists, strictly trained under her.

(Lash & Co Studio's new outlet at Riverside Point.)

All the lash specialists under her wings have to go through a tedious and comprehensive eyelash extension curriculum well-planned by Kim.  

The new outlet of Lash & Co Studio is just like a little piece of heaven that is warm, cozy and inviting. You lie on the bed to take your lash nap while the lash artists work their magic on your eyes. And soon you wake up with gorgeous looking flutters, ready to hit the street.

What make this enchanting boutique really special is the dedicated and passionate team of Kim's. 

At Lash & Co Studio, the experienced lash stylists will go through the procedure with you and customise a set of lashes that suit you , according to your face shape, eye shape and the desired style that best reflect the look that you sought. Each lash is affixed meticulously just above the root of your natural lash, using high grade adhesive that is safe and non-irritating. The products from Lash & Co studio are of premium quality, imported from Korea , Taiwan and USA. Using the lash by lash technique, it gives you that light and natural look without weighing down your own lashes. Lash & Co emphasizes on beautifying your lashes , at the same time keeping your natural lashes strong and healthy. Even if you have weak lashes, they do offer treatment that helps to re-grow them. 

Their price may be slightly higher than some lash salons, but its really worth it for the premium quality of their lash work and fuss-free services since they offer lash primer, aftercare kit and removal of lashes at NO extra charges.

The common question that one always ask, are lash extensions harmful to your own lashes? 

Do take note that lash extensions if done properly by experienced lash technicians, will definitely not affect your real lashes. This is because the synthetic lash is attached on top of your real lash individually, and even if they fall out, it's due to the natural cycle of your own lash, and not due to the extension. 

I myself am a long term supporter of Lash & Co Studio and have been doing my lashes religiously with them for the past one year.

And not that I want to brag, but my lashes are still as flawless as ever :p

(The latest lash design they did for me is this 6D volume coloured lash. Love the va-voom effect!)

Letters To My Happy Suns: Dreamworks Day Run June 2017 - Reagan's First Race

Dear Reagan, you had no response, not even a single facial muscle twitch after I announced that I've signed you up for a run this June Holiday. It is the 800m Kids Dash at the Dreamworks day race. Mummy knows you have never been a sports-lover and hates the sun like me. You went like "Orh ,ok." Like how you always react when I told you that I've signed you up for another enrichment class again. Hoping to get more emotions from you, I described what you can expect to see during this Dreamworks race and how fun it would be. The only thing that get you that little gleam of excitement was when I mentioned that your best friend Ean ,is going to join you in the race as well.

On that day you were more thrilled to see your friend than the race itself. I was so damn looking forward to this day so it was quite disappointing that The DreamWorks Day Run this year was not as well-organised as I expected. Most parents were confused by the different long queues there and because parents were not allowed to join in the run, they have to wait at the pick-up point for their kids after they completed the race. And that was the problem because no one can give us a good answers where the pick-up point is and that frustrates a lot of parents there. Ean's mummy and I got a little nervous as well, mainly because it was the first time we signed you both up in a run without any adult companions and there were no one there to assure us that despite the minor "chaos", our kiddos will be"returned" to us safe and sound. We reminded you both countless of times to stick together and not to get separated during the run. It was quite amusing when you both asked what if you can't win the first place? We didn't expect to see that unseen competitive spirit inside you boys. I was secretly praying that it'll be very good enough if you can actually complete that 800m distance without giving up midway!

We watched and tried to run along with you boys amidst the crowd of enthusiastic parents. It didnt take long for you boys to head towards the finishing line, tired and panting hard, but you both looks so cute still holding hands and persist on with the running. Halfway the race, you boys got lost from our sight and so we tried to find our way back to the end of the race track, hoping to catch you both dashing through the finishing line. Although we didn't make it in time, we were lucky to have Ean's daddy recording that wonderful moment right with his handphone. Yup he happened to be standing at the finishing line waiting and cheering for the boys too.

I'm not gonna lie. While watching you putting that medal over your head, I was secretly trying to suppress that tears of pride and joy overflowing inside me . Damn it...thinking about it made my eyes watered again.

 It may means nothing to most parents since any kids can receive this medal as long as they finished the race. But, it means a great freaking deal to me. Five years ago , you were this little skinny preemie kitten gasping for every breath and fighting to survive in the ICU. It worries me so much when every of your physical milestones was delayed when you were a baby and you only started to stand on your own when you past the two years old mark.  And now today at five years old, I've just witnessed you raced half a stadium! My darling precious Reagan, you never fail to surprise me with all your amazing abilities and reminds me what an awesome boy you are. Mummy is always gonna be so proud of you, for just being you.

The Immortal Elixir by KLARITY (Review)

I got to admit that my skincare regime has severely suffered ever since I had this clue that I'm now a mom with two preschooler boys surviving the school holiday period without a helper. At the end of a tedious day, I just wanna hit the shower and dive into my bed till the next sunrise. And whoever gets into my radar would suffer the wrath of a mom's fury.

So back to the skin-talk, being close to the mid thirties is what we called the "pre-aging" stage. Your skin is getting more vulnerable and enemies like fine lines, wrinkles and spots are all dying to make that special appearance on your face. 

After this beautiful and youthful teenager-looking boss of KLARITY presented me a couple of their skincare products to try, I got a good reminder to game up on my own skincare regime now.

We are always seeking for that magic potion derives from the mythical fountain of youth. Does the elixir of skin immortality even exist? Aging is an irrevocable phenomenon. We cant put a stop to it or turn back that clock but at least we still have certain power in our hands to let it tick slower or even erase the signs of it. 

KLARITY is a home-grown brand that developed skincare products with high medical grade ingredients through cosmetic science. It is also the first Halal-certified skincare in Singapore.With so much raves from other beauty enthusiasts, I guess it is also worthwhile for me to spend some time on this review, to add on to all the gleaming testimonials you can find online.

This is KLARITY 's star product, THE IMMORTAL ELIXIR , ADSC-MAX that promises instant age reversal and youth longevity.

THE IMMORTAL ELIXIR sounds like a perfect fit for the busy lifestyle of a modern mom. With 10 benefits in the bottle, it already sounds like an amazing time-saving skin savior! The fast-cheat that all moms need!

1. Instant lifting
2. Glow
3. Anti-wrinkle
4. Firming
5. Cell rejuvenation
6. Skin Clarity
7. Anti-acne
8. Minimize pores
9. 24 hours moisture & hydrating
10. Skin renewal

I'm definitely enamored by the detailed oriented packaging and details of the premium ingredients used in THE IMMORTAL ELIXIR.

 ADSC-MAX, the Key Ingredient In THE IMMORTAL ELIXIR

The high concentration of Human Adipose Derived Stem Cells regulate the function of cells to maximize the healing power in the human body. It stimulate collagen regeneration, migrates fibroblasts, lifts skin and improve skin texture instantly. It increases protection, prevents DNA damage and boost skin penetration efficiency for other key ingredients like the perfect combination of Hyaluronic acid and Vitamin C to every dermal layer of the skin, targeting the root of all skin troubles. 

Below are some of its' main ingredients.

The thought of spritzing my face with a water filled with miraculous beneficial ingredients as my skincare regime already sounds very intriguing. And with the hefty price tag of $350 for this immortality potion, I had quite a high expectation for it to give my complexion that burst of radiance with each spritz! 

Therefore, In order to fully experience the real full miraculous effect of THE IMMORTAL ELIXIR, this was the only skincare I applied day and night for the next 7 days before I penned down this review. It is the very first thing i put on my face in the morning after cleansing and before sunblock. I mist a generous amount and let it dry naturally while I get dressed. Throughout the day, I sneak in a couple of spritz to freshen up my face and when night falls, it is the only and last thing that rests on my face before I hit the sack. 

I guess it is unnecessary for detailed instructions on how to use this. Even my 3 years old can help me with it and he is very eager to be involved in my beauty regime. And If I'm gonna be like a really cool mom all the time, flipping my hair back and bringing forward my pretty canvas for my son to mist, it might as well gonna enhance my skin and cut some years back while I'm at it. 

The Review The mist came out ultra fine at the right density and veiled perfectly over my face. It gets my skin intensely hydrated as I can feel that certain weight fixed my dry skin in place throughout the entire day. Therefore there is actually no need to reapply frequently. However sometimes when I feel a little generous that day, I try to spritz more and massage them into my face, hopefully to get the benefits all penetrated into my skin thoroughly. After that 7 days of usage, the main benefit that I truly experienced is that extra layer of moisture constantly on my skin. As for the anti-aging effect, common sense we don't age visibly within a week so its really hard for me to judge with my naked eyes. However, probably due to some slight improvement on my skin clarity and texture , it does gives me a little glow within, as though my skin is wearing a natural highlight even without makeup. Somehow I can understand how the hefty pricetag of $350 comes in as a worthwhile investment, besides factoring in all the premium ingredients. With all the benefits that THE IMMORTAL ELIXIR promises to deliver in this one bottle, just picture the money you saved from all other extra products like toners, whitening serum, eye creams, masks etc. The most awesome part is that it took me like 5 secs to get that whole skincare regime for the day and night to be completed. And for this reason, it totally gets my highest recommendation.

THE IMMORTAL ELIXIR Price: $350 / 50ML (Immortality potion of youth does comes with a price)

SygmaLift on my EYES at Stellar Medical Aesthetic [Review]

Today I like to recommend a new and effective non-invasive facial lifting and rejuvenation treatment called the SygmaLift. It promises the same result as Ulthera over a series of sessions, targeting aging and sagging skin, WITHOUT the pain! Yes and since it is painless, no local anesthesia or numbing cream is required. I assured you that it is possible to take a short nap during this quick beauty fix.

SygmaLift emits ultrasonic energy with high intensity that penetrate into the skin to remodel and lift your face. The quickly emitting of the energy stimulate collagen formation to improve skin wrinkles, fine lines and texture over the weeks. A 635 nm cold laser will be used after the procedure to bio-stimulate the skin to get a longer lasting skin glow. 

Being a vain mama as always, you know how excited I was to be invited down to Stellar Aesthetic Medical located conveniently at Novena Medical Centre, to review this new pain-free aesthetic treatment. First I had a consultation with Dr Jane, a very humble professional whom I actually had a good time chatting or (let's say) ranting about anything under the sun during the SygmaLift procedure (which furthers proved my point that this treatment is absolutely PAIN-FREE).

During the consultation, because I had a threadlift down at my jowl not long ago, we agreed to focus on my eyes for this session With the help of SygmaLift, I was assured that the fine lines, dry texture and dark circles especially at the bottom and corners of my eyes can be improved instantly after only one session.

Face is properly cleansed to get ready for the treatment.

This is machine that is going to perform the magic on me.

SygmaLift procedure involved the use of a handheld device gliding over the ultrasound gel spread over the treated area. 

Again, the energy of the SygmaLift is delivered in fractionated mode, therefore it is virtually painless! In fact, it is pretty therapeutic to me because it felt like having a soothing massage around my eyes area. The treatment then ends with a cold laser enhance the overall glow of the skin. This is what I call a good finish! Because there is absolutely no downtime at all, I can easily resume my normal routine right after the treatment. Yes I remembered I went down to join the long snakey queue at LiHo bubble tea after that. 

.

Now let's go directly to the immediate result I had right after the SygmaLift on my eyes.

 BEFORE

.

AFTER

I like to make a disclaimer first. All the photos (before and after) are all taken by my Sony5100 camera which comes with a minimal auto-beauty mode, but there are NO extra editing and NO photoshop or filter done to any of the pictures. 

If we to compare the immediate results of the before and after photos, SygmaLift got rid of that tired look by lifting and erasing the fine lines around my eyes as well as lightening my dark circles. 

Let's have another comparison. The below photos are taken by Dr Jane's handphone and as we can see again, the most obvious improvement is truly the reduction of fine lines and skin texture especially at the corner of my eyes where it is so prone to wrinkles!

SygmaLift promises to do a great job activating the skin's natural regenerative process by increasing the collagen tissue extensibility, which leads to the lifting and remodelling of facial tissue progressively within the next 40 days. Which means this is not my final result that you see. It's pretty exciting that over the next few weeks, the result will become much more significant and I cant wait to shine with my pair of youthful-looking eyes!

The entire treatment probably took less than 30 minutes and with a low tolerance for pain, I need to emphasize again how PAINLESS this SygmaLift procedure is!

My experience has been awesomely good with Dr Jane from Stellar Aesthetic Medical and on the same day I've made another appointment with her to come down to work on my neck!

Do check with Stellar Aesthetic Medical for their latest promotion on their SygmaLift package. 

A pain-free instant V face is truly possible!

Kyrian's 3rd birthday Party - School Celebration and An Intimate Affair

Nothing grand or fanciful for my younger prince, Kyrian 's 3rd birthday. It was the same month that we were shifting out to our new place and we were all so cooped up with the renovation, cleaning and the packing. Therefore I made a decision to just do up a simple celebration in his preschool with his classmates. That was already enough to excite him so much when we told him that his dada and I will be making a special appearance during his school assembly. So in the car we were all very amused when we heard our three years old chanting away "today my birthday,  today my birthday, today not your birthday because its my birthday...!"

Instead of a normal cake, I got cupcakes instead which I thought was easier for the little kids to get one each themselves. The theme was one of his all-time favorite movie, Finding Nemo/Dory. This is another beautiful job done by Sweet Perfection, the same place where I ordered my older boy's superhero cake last month. 

Since his older brother Reagan is attending the same school as him, we requested for him to join Kyrian during the singing of the birthday song, which he of course gladly enjoyed the limelight with his brother as well.

 (Somehow I feel my boys look so girly in their school uniform.)

Next is the group photos with his classmates and the kiddos were all so fascinated by the pretty cupcakes!

On the same week, I thought it'll be a good idea to do another mini celebration with him at his favorite place, the pool. but this time only with his family and friends .And because it was such an impromptu decision, I'm thankful to those who make themselves available for Kyrian. 

My darling boy who loves the water since he was a baby. He always tells me he wants to learn to swim like a dolphin. Well, I'm gonna consider swimming classes for them soon. 

Throw some water toys and water floats into the pool and the kiddos knew how to entertain themselves.

His 2nd cake was also one of his favorite Disney characters, Lightning Mcqueen from Swensen.  And this is when we asked him to close his eyes and make a wish. Isn't he adorable haha! I wonder what a 3 years old kid will wish for !

Opening up some of his birthday presents.

Lastly, hugs and kisses to all the uncles and aunties whom he always enjoy hanging out with because he gets all the attention he wants.

 

Letters to my happy Suns - Celebrating Easter 2017, the long weekend

Yeah , you guys knew that the school holiday is here and so that brings the triumphant joy on your faces haha! As promised, mummy lined up this Easter with a few fun activities for you guys!

First, we started off our day with an impromptu brunch at Birds Of Feather , a hip cafe that serves fusion food along Amoy Street. 

Mummy loves the comtemporary avant-garde decor of this place, but the price of the food was more towards the expensive side. Dada wasn't prepared to pay $90+ for breakfast today...haha!

A quick picture outside the cafe with mummy.

Afternoon is the play-date with your buddies at a new indoor playground that we've never been before, Playkeroo. 

You guys are inseparable every time you met. It always remind me how much you all have grown and the increasing love you all have for each other. 

And next we hopped to another cafe called NOM, to have an early dinner, and also to have a quick first birthday celebration for Isaac, one of the new member that joined your "gang"! 

On the Easter Sunday, mummy planned to take you guys to Cafe Melba for their Easter's activity. It's a regret that they refused to take in any reservations and the queue was ridiculously long when we reached,so we skipped to the nearby La Barca cafe to have our brunch instead. They too offer some kids activity there too like the Easter egg painting! You guys wanted to join in the Easter egg hunt but sadly all the eggs had already been picked up by the other kids. Reagan, mummy watched how you and your didi Kyrian continue to search for the eggs around the park even though I've already told you guys that there were no more eggs left. You guys were determined to complete the task! I guess probably next year mummy will organised our own Easter Egg hunt ok?

That evening, you boys followed us to have ramen dinner with all your favorite uncles and aunties. I wonder why you guys can get so excited just to be around mummy and dada's friends and never fail to pester them to entertain you boys. 

When there's food, there's happy Kyrian!

Auntie Nic promised to get you boys chocolate and you both went gaga over her haha! It's so easy to bribe you guys.

and Reagan, you didn't hesitate to pick a Hershey's chocolate bar!

Lastly we end our night with ice-cream waffles for dessert!

That night, Reagan you asked me when is the next outing with all the uncles and aunties again and mummy knew that you and didi did have alot of fun today!

Reagan 5th Birthday - Superheros Baking Party at FIDGETS

Reagan is 5 ! So five times the cheekier , naughtier and LOVABLE now! This time, mummy made the decision to "outsource" his birthday party instead of organizing one at home like last year. And since Reagan enjoys baking, what is more fun than to have a baking session with all his friends?!

FIDGETS indoor playground was my choice because of its huge space, a cafe inside, and most importantly, it has a baking studio inside the playground. So I thought it'll be very suitable especially those who came with younger siblings. They can play at the playground while waiting for the older ones to complete their baking in the studio. I also like that the walls of the studio can be "seen through" which means parents can sit at the cafe table right outside and watch their kids bake while they have a good time catching up with the other parents over high tea snacks. Sounds so good right?

A month before the party, I made my way down to Fidgets to  check on the venue first. Then I approached the staff, filled up the form and paid a deposit. The rest of the details were finalized and communicated via email the week before the party.

Yes it was the fuss-free convenience that I'm actually paying for as well.

I also get to choose the theme that I want to have for the birthday party, and Reagan didn't hesitate to choose the Superhero theme of course.

That day all the kids arrived and were in high-spirits when putting on their chef hat and aprons. And of course all the excited parents start whipping out their cellphones. They definitely not going to give this photo opportunity a miss.

I was told that the suitable age for the baking activity was 4 years and above. However some of the kids were as young as 2+ and 3 , therefore I expected some chaos or probably half of the kids to leave the studio when they get bored. So we were all truly amazed that all of the children were able to complete the 2 hours baking session all by themselves! Marvelous! All mummies were beaming with so much pride that day.

I'm going to give credits to the instructors and staffs who took much effort to guide and motivate the kids , making the baking session as fun and entertaining as possible. 

During the cake-cutting segment, all the kids "transformed" into their superheros role! I made it "optional" for parents to decide if they want their kids to follow the theme. However it really touched me to know that some of the parents took time off their busy schedule just to buy, prepare or rent a superhero costume just for Reagan's birthday party . And look how awesomely cute their group photo is!!! All these photos are crucial parts of the kids' childhood memories! How many chances you get to dress as superheros with your friends?

Reagan was dressed as Superman and his younger brother Kyrian requested to be Batman. Therefore the birthday cake has to fit the theme! This round I ordered his cake from an online bakery called the SweetPerfection. It was also the same place that I ordered Reagan's 1st birthday cake back then. Both times the cakes arrived on time (in fact slightly earlier than expected timing), they didn't disappoint me with my customized design, and my guests feedbacked that the fondant was not too sweet and the chocolate tastes rich and good. 

As for our outfits, daddy wore a cartoon superman shirt and a black shirt with the Batman logo for me. 

The next highlight of the party, which is also what the kids are looking forward to...the MAGIC SHOW!

This is Fidget's in-house magician , Tricky Patrick!

Will I recommend Tricky Patrick?

 Absolutely yes!!! And you want to know why? 

Look at the photo below... that precious look on their faces.

Tricky Patrick's magic show is 30 minutes long....and he made all the kids (and even some of the adults) laughed hysterically throughout! Oh the kids ADORE him so much! And I like his professionalism and how he created photo opportunities for my photographer, by making my boy do these cute and funny poses.

So the next crucial question from my readers .......
