Honestly I don’t when you’ll need tips on how to style leather but when I was searching online before this shoot, I didn’t manage to find many inspiration pics 🥲

So I hope someone who needs some inspo in the future can refer to our results for tips!!! Also I just really wanted to share some pretty pics from the recent test shoot I did with Suf (@sufisufyan.creatives) & @viv🦋✨ (@vivsbeautynotes) at Open Haus Studio, which is a relatively new trending studio in Singapore. Their space & props is so chic, timeless & well thought out!! 🤍

Also, if you’re wondering what a test shoot is, it is where creatives (photographers, makeup artists, models, stylists, etc) come together to create content, mainly content that is useful to boost our portfolio, show our skills and ability for potential clients to recognise our capabilities ✨

Thinking about building your wealth? Start young today! Here are some ways I earned my 5-digit income as a teenager ⬇️

1) Scholarships 👩🏻‍🎓

May seem pretty unusual to consider scholarships as a form of income but yes… work hard and smart in school to get the best possible grades you can! A safe measure would be nailing Director’s Roll of Honour and a GPA of at least 3.9 to qualify for most scholarships!

2) Ang Pao money 🍊

New Year is when you get LOADS of money from relatives, parents, grandparents, and perhaps gambling.

3) Tutoring 👩‍🏫

Side hustling can be incredibly rewarding when you’re putting your knowledge into good use and earning income at the same time.

4) Internships 🧪

For final-year poly students, internships are a must for most courses. Pay can range from around $600 to $1000+.

5) Content creation 🎥

YouTube and TikTok videos allow you to earn revenue through ads, followers, and campaigns. Even if you’re a small content creator, there are smaller campaigns out there that will help you to UP your social media game!

6) Part-time waitress 🥘

After O levels, I took up the job of a waitress for about half a year. The pay was around $9/h (not exactly the ideal pay) but I accumulated several thousands from this job alone.

i’m malay, with sharp features (sharp jawline, high cheekbones & arched brows). i’m very tanned, and have been experimenting chinese makeup style on myself. i’ve been changing my clothing style to something more girly and i’d like my makeup to look more ‘sweet’.

i used to do western makeup since i was in primary school, and i just realized it made me look so old or matured ~ no offence…

compared to my old makeup style, what changed?

​⊹ brows

​⊹ lashes

​⊹ eyeliner

​⊹ blush placement

​⊹ lip colour

what works for my brown skin?

​⊹ cool tone blush, but not TOO cool as it won’t show up

​⊹ nude lipstick that looks more of a lip blush on my dark lips

what remained the same?

​⊹ base makeup

​⊹ nose contour

since my features are sharp, the soft soap brows looks whack on me 😵‍💫 i decided to stick to the 2016 brow style, but with a different shape, which is straight! i barely need contour aside from my nose as i have a very defined cheekbone (my nose big like my father).

i notice that fair skin girlies who do this makeup style always use cool toned blushes/lippie, but it doesn’t compliment my brown skin 🙁 i might do a tutorial soon on tiktok as many have requested on this look specifically so do check me out @irzadorable 😋

do let me know how you think this style is on me! is it flattering or what could’ve been done better?

it's that time of the year to review how much time you spend on each social media platform. i recently saw that igwrapped is available on the app store, so i quickly downloaded it to check it out. this year, instagram wrapped provides insight into your instagram usage, your top friends, and even details about how many users might have blocked you 😅.

but perhaps the most interesting part is that it shows you who your top friends are and who your top three 'stalkers' might be 😏. to see your instagram insights, you can follow these steps:

1.download the igwrapped app from the app store.

2.open the app and connect it to your instagram account.

3. it will then say 'generating your wrapped.'

4. wait a little while, and your instagram wrapped will appear.

5. tap the screen to scroll through your highlight reel.

6. you can tap 'share' to post it on your igs

2023 is coming to an end, so hurry and download the app to see what your insights look like!

Sometimes in the morning when I don’t know what to wear, I kinda scroll through my Pinterest board with my eyes closed. Then I will stop at a random Pin and use it as inspo for my work outfit.

Most of the time I can’t replicate it 100%, especially if it’s not weather/ work appropriate but it does give me some inspiration on colour combinations, accessories, silhouettes etc..

Of course what this means is that you will need to do some homework and start saving your Pins in advance.

If you don’t know where to start, you can do a reverse image search on an outfit that you really like. Pinterest will then start generating similar ones.

It’s one way to be less stressed about finding what to wear in the morning, and kinda fun too 😝

Unfortunately, I can’t link my Pinterest account here due to Lemon8’s recent policy on internal hyperlinks. But feel free to drop me a DM if you’d like the link to my Pinterest board(s)!

i’ve been on the hunt FOREVER for the perfect earrings for daily wear to match my silver bracelet and necklaces 🫶 it was tough especially since i have sensitive skin and i wear my jewellery into the shower 🚿

i decided to check out By Invite Only at orchard and i was just glancing through their hoops and I FOUND THIS GORGEOUS PAIR 🥹 what really sold it for me was that it was cubic zirconia studded on one side and plain silver on the other so it’s basically TWO EARRINGS in ONE which is such a steal!

the store assistant also recommended me the silver one as it would last longer as the coating would not peel unlike gold / rose gold. she even helped me wear it on the spot & i was so grateful 🤍 but otw home i lost the bags, packaging and cloths for the product HAHAHA 😭

this was $49! i feel that it was a damn worthy investment considering the quality and design and the fact it’s not tarnishable hehe 🫶

what do y’all think!

have been wanting to try these so long because japanese people have been recommending me this high-end yakiniku chain, and it didn’t disappoint😆🥩 as a chain, they have many outlets all over japan but for the one i visited, it was in Ueno, Tokyo! Since I got the lunch menu and reached at 11am, no reservations were needed for me but you can try reserving online as well🥰

📍〒110-0007 Tokyo, Taito City, Uenokoen, 1−57 Ueno3153 2F

for $30, i got the lunch set which came with:

🍖8 slices of beef & 2 prawns (perfectly marinated)

🥬kimchi (cabbage, radish and cucumber)

🫘appetiser (bean sprout, spinach, jellyfish, tofu skin)

🥣seaweed soup

🍵drink: oolong tea, hot or ice coffee or calpis

🍮almond jelly for dessert

overall, it was a well-balanced meal and if i had friends coming to japan, i’d definitely recommend it!

Okay my friend recently took me to FYP (For You People) Cafe for lunch & I was SHOCKED 😳✋🏼 Like Its cute & all with the glamping theme but THE FOOOOD is the main highlight of this post!

With so many cafes coming up & doing mostly the same thing, I was just expecting the usual standard cafe food, nothing special. BUT I WAS WRONG 😭😍🔥

Here's what we ordered:

01 Big Big Fries with mentaiko & cheese 🍟🧀

100000/10 ⭐️ This is probably the best fries i've ever had PERIOD. It was so crispy, the perfect thickness & also fluffy inside?! 🥹 It kind of reminds me of bitting into a tatter totes like its BETTER THAN FRIES but in fries form 👀 The cherry on top was the mentaiko sauce & the cheese sauce, I really enjoyed the mentaiko sauce so when I visit them again I'll do a full mentaiko instead of the half & half.

02 Steak Bites

100000/10 ⭐️ Im literally not even exaggerating my rating, this steak bite is literally high quality. It was DELICIOUS 🥩 (its done in medium rare — they only offer medium rare) It was seasoned & charred to perfection too.

Honestly, I've been to actual steak house & this cafe steak bites could literally beat a true steakhouse steak that's how yummy it was 🥹🧚‍♀️

03 Beef & cheese bagel

11/10 I only had a bite and it was 💯 The bagel was toasted to perfection yet it was fluffy and soft too. They were also really generous with the cheese & beef filling 🐄 They had so many option for the bagel i'll have to come back & try them all 😭

For a small cafe their coffee was well done, it was strong fragrant yet it wasnt too much. 💐

They also sell cookies and brownies which I did not get the chance to try cause Im on a diet 🏋️‍♀️ But just look at the selections they offer…. I will definitely have to visit again for them sweet treats 🍪

Transformed my locks at Salon Kream! 🌟

Was terrified of bleaching my hair at first but trusted my hair stylist Brian & took the leap of faith.

The bleaching process was seamless and professional. The hair treatment they recommended was Aqua Lock, with made my bleached hair shiny & luscious.

If you're considering a hair change,

I highly recommend them.
