Hey ❤️s,

Here's some little blush hacks which I love to rotate between while applying my makeup!

1. 𝐀 𝐝𝐨𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐦𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐛𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬

I do this ALOT especially when I'm rushing out for work or don't feel like doing a full face makeup but not wanting to look so dead AHHAHAH

It gives off the very natural & healthy glow which I love!

– Use your blusher and dot it on your cheeks / cheekbones and blend it out horizontally

2. 𝐋𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 '𝐖' 𝐚𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬 𝐦𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐛𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬 & 𝐧𝐨𝐬𝐞

My go to when I do a full face makeup & wanting to have that sunkissed / suntanned glow!

– Dot (liquid blusher) or use a makeup brush to create the letter 'W' from one side your cheekbones to your nose bridge and to the other side of your cheekbones

– Blend it out horizontally

3. 𝐋𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 '𝐂' 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐦𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐛𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐬

For a more sculpted look & to add more warmth to my forehead area, I opt for the letter 'C' blush hack!

– Dot or use a makeup brush to blend the blusher from your cheekbones to your temples

4. 𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐲 𝐞𝐲𝐞𝐬

When I have little to no makeup on but just want to add a splash of colour, I will apply the blusher under my eyes (on top of my concealer)! It kind of gives the Japanese Kawaii, I-just-cried / wake-up look too!

– Dot or brush along your under eyes and blend your blusher out

Hope you like these little tips and tricks to spice up your blush-makeup routine!

Would love to know which is your go-to blush hack or do you have any other tricks~ 🤭

It's my first post & i'll like to share something that has plague my 20s.

A little background – i'm currently in my late 20s and have battled balding from my mid 20s. It takes me a lot to share this journey, and they really isn't a lot on this platform at the moment.

The balding was really aggressive in my mid 20s and the photos you see were from the later years, which was about 2 years back.

I can share my journey on both the mental aspect and the physical aspect if i see some interest! I have some tips to share as well!

Right now, I have a head full of hair – but it comes with a huge price (literally). The battle with hair loss needs to be done early.

I just hit 4 months into my job in TikTok as a product manager and I think is time for me to share my thoughts on my journey thus far~

1. How am I feeling?

Tbvh, I have never felt so pushed before. The number of features I handle and the amount of stress we have as product managers because we need are threading on the fine line between business and tech. TLDR, we build features to ensure the business generates revenue( I mean at least for my department, which makes it way more stressful) despite the stress, it definitely brings about a lot of sense of fulfilment and growth! In a well established company, u get to have all the resources you need to learn and grow, which is something that I really need🙏🏻

2. The first pic was me on my first day, as all TikTokers will say… always day 1:”) I was indeed so happy for my new journey in the company that I dreamt to be in for the longest time!! Being a good company, definitely comes with a price ofc… more stress and responsibilities!!

3. Thankful for my free lunches everyday yayy!! I am always looking forward to my different meals every single day, honestly is my only motivation hehe

4. Tiktok also hosts events such as family day for the employees!! So I brought my family to visit the office as well and needless to say… they were rly amazed by the office and the amazing view as well🥺

5. So important to have great colleagues/ friends to pull you through each and every stressful day🥹😩 always to thankful for my happy pills kekekeke

Ok that’s it for now!!! To more updates about work👌

The scramble eggs and the eggs Benjamin are just the killer ! Please bring friends along so you can order more ! Their sides like the mentaiko fries and soup of the day with buttered sourdough are like the last puzzle pieces to make your appetite whole again.

THE BREWING GROUND !

@thebrewingground

Located at the “suburb” of joo chiat, a little get around from the city. Probably one of the biggest cafe in Singapore 🇸🇬 you will feel like you are on a day trip away.

They have a pretty extensive menu for breakies and brunches. Even the drinks menu is huge, with soda refreshers and pretty decent coffee. They are famous for their scrambled eggs 🥚 but they are definitely not the only thing you should try. The Breakfast Burger 🍔 😋 😍 👌 (no words to describe)

You definitely need to and you will visit more than once to try everything you like. The best part is that they are definitely not stingy on the quality and quantity.

Let me know If you tried ! Or there are other places I should try !!!!!!!!!!!!

Give me a follow !

Yes, there's no typo if you are wondering. So, you may be asking – why is it so long?

I was an NT student. So naturally, the only path I could go was ITE. In the past, ITE only offered 2 years of Nitec and 2 years of Higher Nitec. Well then, shouldn’t it be only 4 years? Why is there an extra year?

So, Here’s a summary of my ITE journey:

– Nitec in Business Service (2017-2018)

– Higher Nitec, Accounting, dropped out (2019)

– Higher Nitec, Events Management (2020-2021)

Yes, I dropped out of ITE before! Which I will cover in another lemon8 post.

So, did I regret studying at ITE? 🤔 Instead of maybe taking a private dip.

Simple answer is Nope, I never regretted studying at ITE!As to be really honest, it was the most fun 4 years of my life cause;

1️⃣ I made lifelong friendships 💖

If i didn’t go to ITE, i wouldn’t have crossed paths with my girls. Going to school and class is 1000% more fun as we made so many memories together. Now, we are still closely knitted and “grown up” together as a group even though we had gone different paths in life.

2️⃣ Discovered my passion 🏃🏻‍♀️

As I was doing side hustle on carousell, I wanted to learn more about business and entrepreneurship. So I joined the entrepreneurship club as my cca!

Through the cca, I managed the club business and ran events such as bazaars where we invited vendors into school for students to shop in school. This made me realize my passion for planning and running events. It was so fun and full of adrenaline rush!

3️⃣ To Network and being Mentored 👩🏻‍💻

Through ITE, I managed to meet and network with various people, and some became my mentors. I had a great mentor guiding me about the business/entrepreneur world, shoutout to Mr Rafael and my fellow seniors. During my internship, I managed to keep in close contact with my company and supervisors and still help run their events, shoutout to my managers at Pixo Events 😛

4️⃣ Prepared me for the working world and poly. 🥸

I felt that the modules, its knowledge and skills that I learnt have benefitted me tremendously when I'm working. For example, the Excel and Powerpoint i learnt in ITE – it helped me during my internship, which made me the go-to person for these tasks as i was efficient in it.

Besides work, it’s also helping my poly life as well. As for poly, there are similar modules that I had gone through in ITE. So, it helped me as a foundation for understanding the current modules that I'm currently studying.

💭 End notes

If you unsure about going to ITE, I really recommend to take a leap of faith and try 😀 As for those who are going to ITE due to a similar path like myself, go in with an open heart as It will be a fun journey!

Just a heads up that ITE journey ain’t as long as my era. As in 2021, ITE announced a new list of courses where students can complete their ITE studies in 3 years’! You all are living a good life sia, so do check it out.

This post is not sponsored by ITE, btw. I just want to share my experience in ITE, where I will cover my dropout phase as well as ITE -> Poly life.

Anyway, i hope you like this first post. Do comment down below which post you would like to see next! 🤗
