it’s that time of year again! where everyone seems to have a wedding to attend every other weekend, and we are also all gearing up for our year end parties! we all want to look our best, but sometimes uncomfortable shoes can turn a good night bad real fast!

what you need is a pair of heels that look pretty while also being comfy!! and i love looking at prettyfit to find my shoes cause their cushioned sole is just so good for long wear, but you can also look pretty and glam for your special occasions!!

☁️✨ My Pick: Oreta Sandals ($69.90)

𐙚 Cushioned sole to keep your feet comfy throughout the day

𐙚 Low rise heel that looks dainty but is still easy to walk in

𐙚 pretty glittery details to add that subtle touch of glamour to your look

𐙚 transparent plexi material converting the front half of the shoe so that you can have the pretty criss cross detail while the shoe still being secure to wear

☁️✨ Styling the Shoes

𐙚 glittery + metallic colour makes it suitable to pair with a variety of colours!

𐙚 it’s a good way to add a subtle statement piece if you don’t want to be too loud with your outfit

𐙚 it can also help to match a glittery costume/outfit that you may have planned for an event

𐙚 the perfect shoes for weddings, parties, dinner dates, festive holidays or even more casual events like high tea!

☁️✨ My personal experience

personally i wore the heels out for around 7 hours, and i did a lot of walking around town area!!

‼️Disclaimer: i did get a few blisters because i was wearing the shoes for the first time, BUT besides that there was

– no ache in my feet after walking

– no difficulty walking in the heels

– heels did not slip off while walking

which are all things that i think are quite important in a good pair of heels!

i would recommend that you check out prettyfit’s collection of heels for any upcoming events that you have in which you need a pair of shoes that are both pretty and comfortable!

i’ve included some of my picks from their newer launches as well!! they include flats, mules, low heeled and high heeled options too!!

as always, i would recommend that you take some time to break the shoes in/get used to wearing them before wearing them for long hours for your special event!!

so treat yourself and your feet to some love and grab a pair of these comfy heels!!

who doesn’t love freebies 😍 somemore getting them delivered to you?! 😨 i couldn’t believe it too when i first saw these online but when i started receiving products in my mailbox from these companies, i was so excited to try them all out!! (is this a fraction of how influencers receiving pr packages feel bc damn it feels good 🥵)

this is a great way to try a new brand without spending your 💰 on full sized products that you end up not liking…

many companies do this to get people try their new product launches, reach a wider audience that have not have tried their products before and in some questionnaires, they may also ask simple questions such as the brand of products you are using for market research 👩‍💻

smaller and lesser known brands use this way to get people to test out their products and hopefully repurchase or review and spread the word of mouth for their products 📢

there are also many other brands that give product samples in stores, or have similar forms that consumers like us can fill up and all we have to do it to go down to their stores to collect it! 🛍️ personally unless it’s a product that i really want to try out otherwise most of the time i don’t think it’s worth travelling down for 🥴, plus a huge part is probably just me wanting to avoid any form of human contact 🚫 to save me from embarrassing my awkward ass 😮‍💨

so how do you redeem them? just fill in your particulars and address, as simple as that! some brands have a few sample products that u can select from, and simple mcq qns u just have to answer 👍🏼

ok enough said, here are brands that are delivering free samples to your doorstep 📦!! (links in comments section 💬, or type in the brand name + free samples in google and it will be there!)

These apps are all in Korean, so you may need to use a translator to navigate through the app, they also use Kakao Talk to log in, if I am not mistaken. Girlies who know how to read Korean, you are in luck (;

This brings me to the things I wish I had known before I went to Korea and spent almost $400 on Olive Young 🥹

I don't really regret though…

Before heading to South Korea, I went to social media (Lemon8/TikTok) to scour and research on what are the hyped and good products in Korea to buy in Olive Young… Who wants to buy bad products right?

Although some of the items I bought or was recommended are in the rankings…Phew… I somehow wished I had more insights because when you step into Olive Young, you will be overwhelmed.

So here are the two apps I found that actually contains actual rating and rankings in Korea right now (including skincare/makeup/body care/hair care, etc.) – Hwahae and Glowpick.

If I am not wrong, Hwahae has more Korean products while Glowpick has a mixture of even non-Korean products (e.g. Urban Decay, YSL, etc.)

I chose toner as an example for both apps to show that there may be differences and you can compare yourself between two apps to determine what you want to buy.

Even the most hyped and beloved Anua 77% Heartleaf Toner is not even the top few on the list! (4.34★ Hwahae | 4.18★ Glowpick)

Have fun scrolling through the app and doing your mini research, and picking your “poison” in Olive Young 😉

📍Bake Inc (multiple outlets)

💰 Price: $1.60

For all my egg tart lovers out there, y’all need to stop sleeping on this & try it ASAP !!! Truly one of the BEST EGG TARTS in SG 🤧🤧 The egg custard was eggy and creamy, while the biscuit crust was baked to the perfect crispness. Best part was it’s served warm & tasted like it was fresh out of the oven. At $1.60 for such a big tart, you’re definitely getting a bang for your buck !!!

My fav go to egg tart has always been Tai Cheong but I think I’ve found a strong contender 😉 GO TRY THIS GEM & LMK WHAT YOU GUYS THINK

Yesterday was day 4 after my surgery! If you haven’t seen my surgery post you can refer to my surgery info here ✌🏼

👩‍⚕️ The doctor mentioned the swelling will be the worst on day 3 and indeed it tru 😫 everyday i wake up looking rounder and rounder HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

but i guess its supposed to get worse before it gets better! 👍🏼😍

Bruises on my face and neck area are getting yellowish which i guess is a sign that they are dispersing, except for the “strangle” marks on my neck which i assume is the thread lifting area that looks worse than the rest 🥹

🧊 Have been doing cold compress for the first 3 days

🔥 Gna start on warm compress for the following days!!!

Went for a review session and the nurse said my recovery process is quite slow cus im still swelling quite abit 😔

So for now still cant rly see results due to the bruises and swelling BUT AM STILL EXCITED!!!!

WISH ME LUCKKKKKKK 💜🤞

🚪Shop name: Margaret Drive Chicken Rice

📍Address: 40 Holland Drive S270040

Nearest MRT: Buona Vista

🕐Opening Hours: 11am to 8pm, closed on Mondays

This stall usually has a long queue during lunchtime hours but I happened to visit during an off-peak hour and I got to satisfy my curiosity about this chicken rice without queueing!!!!!! Yes!!!

However, while placing my order, I felt that the service was kinda rude and as I walked to a table with my chicken rice, I thought to myself, “Bah! I hate rude service! No matter how good the food is, we should not encourage ppl to be rude! I won't come again even if this chicken rice is good. How good can chicken rice be anyway?” Plus, $4.50 for a plate of chicken rice isn't exactly very cheap. They don't provide soup either!

Lo and behold, I had to promptly eat my words after my first spoonful of the chicken and rice. 😬 How could this chicken rice taste so different and so good??? This is also my first time finishing the rice before I finish the chicken when eating chicken rice simply because there were so many THICK pieces of chicken on my rice! And it is also my first time finishing all the slices of cucumber on my plate! Usually I don't even eat the cucumber when I eat chicken rice but this was sliced so thinly that it was rather addictive to crunch on them! Plus, the chili and the garlic were really REALLY good. Really elevated the taste of this entire plate of chicken rice.

I had to fight back my tears when I dabbed my last piece of chicken in the remaining chili sauce because – I know I will go against my personal values… and return again. 🥲

Yes, I will make an exception for this stall. 😭 I will come back despite the rude service. And even though it doesn't offer soup. Also, honestly $4.50 is really very value for money in this economy! 😢

Please try it and tell me what you think.

Hi zesties! Hope everyone’s enjoying the PH today🙌 I’ve been seeing reviews on Sigi Skin’s latest day moisturizer and like most others, i have been loving this new product💚

The first thing you’d notice about this is the beautiful illustrations! This has got to be the prettiest moisturizer packaging i’ve ever seen🥹 This illustration of dogs on an idyllic field is inspired by the owner’s own pet and story☺️

Ingredients wise, it has matcha and oat extract, as well as troxerutin and polyglutamic acid. It is a soothing blend to restore the skin barrier and is suitable for acne prone skin!

I’ve tried it already and i would describe the texture as gel like, non sticky and absorbs well into the skin quickly! So it’s quite suited for our humid weather:) I also like the pump dispenser design cos it prevents contamination of the product while dispensing the right amount of product to prevent accidental wastage👌

If you’re looking to try a new moisturizer, do consider this new product from sigi skin!☺️

Not even kidding bro. This cosy restaurant right down Tan Quee Lan Street serves the BEST Thai food in Singapore HANDS DOWN (at least to me LOL)🧎‍♀️🙌

The food at 𝗔𝗵 𝗟𝗼𝘆 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗶 is not only yummy but also decently priced & affordable (NO GST OR SERVICE CHARGE HOR) 😮‍💨

Best part? It’s only a stone throw away from Bugis MRT station (3 mins only!!) 🥹 Tbh I rly have a thing for convenient places / food lmaooo 🤪 is it because I’m lazy…? 🌚

Ok but at least I’m not lazy to share more about my favourite Thai restaurant 🤷‍♀️ let’s go!

🐘 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 — 𝗩𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗲 + 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘂

🇹🇭 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗪𝗲 𝗢𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 + 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗲 + 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀

🍃 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗰𝘁

🐘 𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐒𝐓 𝐈𝐌𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒 — 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 + 𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐔

HAHAHA wa my first impression of Ah Loy Thai actually dates back to 16 February 2021— right after my final presentation in Poly (good times man) 🥹

I still remember joining the long queue outside the restaurant with my friends that Tuesday evening, the smell of BBQ from next door flooding the atmosphere (I still haven’t tried the bbq place’s food btw LOL) 🤤

After a good 15 minutes wait, we were finally ushered to the newly extended part of the restaurant which was twice the size of their original space 😮😮 it still wasn’t enough to house the crowd tho 🥹

There were a lot of familiar dishes such as Tom Yum, Fried Omelette, Basil Minced Chicken/Pork/Beef as well as interesting combinations like the Mango Crispy Boneless Fish!!! 😧

Oh ya, I actually visited last weekend and they had Mooping (pork that tastes darn good) as a special 🤤 not sure if they still have it though ☹️

🇹🇭 𝐌𝐔𝐒𝐓 𝐎𝐑𝐃𝐄𝐑 + 𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐄 + 𝐈𝐌𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒

🧄 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗶 𝗚𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝗸 ($𝟵.𝟴𝟬)

Tbh, I’ve never really had a good impression of this dish because a lot of places use thinly-sliced tough pork, garnish it with overly-fried garlic & call it ‘Thai Garlic Pork’…bruh 🥲🥲

But this one at Ah Loy Thai is particularly tasty 🤤 just imagine thick and juicy yet tender pork paired with large cloves of garlic (MUST eat with garlic for the extra oomph) 😙👌

You can also dip the pork in Thai sweet chili!

🥬 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗵 𝗕𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝗸 ($𝟴.𝟴𝟬)

MY FAVOURITE VEG EVERRRR (I know the emoji’s a bokchoy/lettuce la) 🤪

The menu claims that this is a spicy dish but I didn’t feel the spiciness at all HAHAHA maybe just a slight tinge but that’s it (I’m a mala xiao la)💀

But I extremely loved how well they cooked the French bean— there wasn’t any ‘veggie taste’ and they weren’t overcooked (till nua) or undercooked~ IT WAS JUST NICE <333 And errr the minced pork was just minced pork la hor don’t expect too much HAHAHA рџ¤

🥘 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗻 𝗧𝗼𝗺 𝗬𝘂𝗺 — 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗸 ($𝟭𝟬.𝟰𝟬)

You get to choose between a thick or clear Tom Yum broth and both my bf and I collectively agreed that we loved the thicker one more 😛😛

We also chose chicken as our protein even though they offered mixed seafood, prawn or fish as alternatives 😃

This Tom Yum is slightly sweeter than most places and doesn’t feel as spicy, which I’m extremely happy about because I can’t take spice LMAO 😔✋ BUT FR THIS ONE TASTED LIKE THE ONE I HAD AT CHATUCHAK 😫

And the thickness was just right + the fact that they included oyster mushrooms in the soup made me really happy HAHAHA 🫶🫶

🍳 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗢𝗺𝗲𝗹𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝗸 ($𝟴.𝟴𝟬)

OH MY GOD I was flabbergasted the moment I bit into this. Literally like: ‘🤯’.

Bestie, you can don’t order the rest of the dishes I just mentioned but you MUST MUST MUSTTT order this 😫😫

This is a deep-fried omelette so just imagine how crispy and fluffy it is 😳 it’s also on the sweeter end so if you don’t like a slight bit of sugar in your omelette (why?!), please don’t order this HAHAHA

PSA, it’s really greasy (because it’s deep-fried) and portion is very big 😀👍

—————————

🍃 𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐃𝐈𝐂𝐓

Needless to say, I’ll definitely head back for more (or order the same thing as always) because their food is really just that good 😚

But ngl ah, their food is leaning more towards the ‘重口味’ or ‘strong-tasting’ spectrum on the tastebuds so if you are not a fan of heavily seasoned food/loves to eat clean, this place is not for you 🥹🥹

Service was okay for me albeit not particularly excellent 😌 but aiya we don’t pay for service charge anyway so cannot really complain la hor 🤡

Hope this place will give you a glimpse of the food in Thailand!!! I promise you it’s aroy mak mak ❤️❤️
