It's my honor to be able to work with Irresistible Me and get to try on these fabulous hair extensions! I'm 100%, not a vblogger. However, I feel it will be better for me to do a review and tutorial video of the hair extensions. Honestly, my video is pretty amateur. I really have to thank you first for bearing with me throughout the video. Seriously, just have a good LOL at all my weird, awkward moments, badly spoken grammar and poor editing.

I really do love these hair extensions as they can withstand me all night long, yet not having the need to suffer a migraine. I hope you enjoy my first vblog. And maybe even getting yourself a box of Irresistible Me to change up your looks for 2016!

…

Who says long hair girls can only be demure? In my ootd shoot (above), I wore the extensions with a slight grunge yet health goth outfit. Whereas for my vblog (below), I wore the extensions with pastel goth outfit. Well, do let me know which is your favourite!

…

It's the end of 2015 and it has been a great year for me. Of course, there were ups and downs, but they never seem to beat me down. They pulled me up and push me forward, breaking my boundaries, facing my fears and meeting new pals whom I greatly treasure.

Looking back at Jan 2015, I can see how much I've grown within a year, so much that I feel that I'm a different person. I was in a long 2 year relationship that ended in March 3 days after my birthday with my Ex telling me that he want to be a Priest and he was not happy with me. After that broke up, I was a little lost, but friends around me got me back on my foot. As a lone ranger, I set out to meet new people around me. Creating strong bonds of friendships. Dated a few guys, but it didn't seem to go well. Still facing family violence once in a while. Got a panic attack, that was supposed to be anxiety. Started attending counselling sessions to be a better person as I was a depressed kid that wants to stay strong. Oh, not forgetting that I must not take caffeine drinks.

Of course, I still have my clumsy moments, like breaking my front tooth, which I needed to pay the price of SGD$5k and just a moment ago, I thought I would end my 2015 losing my bloody bag that contains my laptop, memory card, wallet and all the essentials. Guess luck is still on my side, my tooth can be fixed and I just found my bag after 5 hours.

Seriously, thank you all for showering me with so much love! Love you peeps and may 2016 be a year, hoping that I will be less clumsy.

Less is more. 

Allowing my Jord wood watch to shine on it's own, I kept my outfit minimal with a long white shirt dress and a long thick silver necklace. I wore a pair of wooden platforms to match my Jord wood watch. Sleek, modern and minimalistic, I still manage to pull the look as my own style by adding my key player; the high socks. Something that you can't miss being a 90s kid.

Watches have never been an important accessories to me except to keep track of my time. Nevertheless, I would still keep a lookout if there is any unique timepiece that intrigues me. However, many of the watches that I had come across are either too mainstream or just doesn't really appeal to me. As a creative person, I always dig into something unique and fresh. When Jord wood watches invites me do a collaboration with them I was delighted! Honestly, I had neither heard of Jord nor come across any wood watches before. So, it's definitely something new and I'm excited about it!

Using wood as their main feature, you can expect their watches to be much lighter than those that you would normally find. Influenced by our modern experiential living, Jord wood watches are made to be sustainable, efficient and simple. Jord wood watches are priced at a very reasonable market rate and if you are interested, you can view more of them here, they provide a wide range of unique and intricate designs to ensure that each watch is distinctive to your style. Another highlight, they can even make the watch to your desirable size that fits perfectly on your wrist, just like mine!

*P.S. If you're thinking of a present for this upcoming Father's Day, do add Jord wood watches as one of you gift ideas!*

I did my shoot at a very quiet venue. Using that as an irony, I decided to share one of my current favourite muse by Jamie XX, Loud Places. If you had not known, Jamie XX is part of The XX band as their percussionist. He is definitely one talented musician!

Retreat and repose for a tranquil Sunday, I headed off to the beach with my bestie and did a shoot for a campaign with Luxola.com featuring Laneige Travel Kit while swaying along to the gentle sea breeze. Since it's the beach, I decided to dress a little boho of a white dress by Princessa and a motif vest that I had bought in a vintage store in Chatuchak, Bangkok. To steer my outfit a little back to the 90s, I added on my favourable necklace and chokers.

Honestly, I had never really rely on any skincare products in my entire life. Foremost reason being that I was young and broke. Secondly, I do not have the discipline to stick to a routine with skincare products even when my mum had bought me a set. Well, that was back then and maybe those products were not good enough. As age is catching up, I thought it will be wise for me to get a rad set of essential skincare products; a range that can be my soulmate. Laneige's skincare products is one of the brands that I had shortlisted and I was lucky enough to get to work with Luxola.com to do a review on Laneige Travel Kit, Perfect Renew Early Anti-aging Trial Pouch set. The travel kit is also just in time to prep myself for my next vacation. 

According to my friends as well as other bloggers, Laneige's cosmetic and skincare products have always gotten great ratings and reviews, intriguing my interest to try them out. 
Just a quick run through of all the products,
• Multi Cleanser - Papain enzymes-based multi cleanser with 4 functions of removing makeup + removing sunscreen + exfoliating + cleansing
• Perfect Renew Skin Refiner_EX - Gel type skin refiner that makes skin texture smooth with boosting effect.
• Perfect Renew Emulsion_EX - Emulsion that delivers moisture balance with soothing effect
• Perfect Renew Essence_EX - Essence that prevents premature aging with helping face contour framing effect.
• Perfect Renew Cream_EX - Cream that enhances elasticity and moisture barrier with repairing effect.

After the third day of my usage, I could feel that my skin is smoother than before. Visible differences can be noticed since I have not been using any skincare products previously. My skin have become smoother, refreshed, hydrated, moisturised, radiant and firmer; giving a natural glow on my naked face. After trying the kit out, I will definitely continue to use Laneige's Perfect Renew skincare products as my lifelong face therapy. Well even my mom is smitten to the products and bugged me to share it with her.

Spending my Sunday along the beach, it reminds me of my Bali trip (read more here). Bali is definitely a sentimental travelling destination. It allows me to slow down my pace and recover myself from the hectic schedules that I have in Singapore. Every evening, I luxuriate myself along the beach. Bathing myself with warm colours of the sunset while getting hit by the gentle sea breeze. 

I guess it's about time for me to revisit Bali again and this time, I would like to stay in a villa from The Luxe Nomad. They have carefully selected some of the best designed luxury villas in Bali as well as around the Asia Pacific region. Good thing about booking with The Luxe Nomad is that they have weekly exclusive flash sales rates of up to 70% off. Isn't it great to be able to save up yet pampering yourself with luxurious comfort with breathtaking scenery from the villas?

Here's a remedy by 311, Tranquility to get yourself inspired for a holiday retreat!

Two days ago, it was a night with Slowdive and I couldn't be more excited to attend the concert. 

Isn't it just boring to wear a black dress? Well, I added a scarf prints sleeveless shirt over my dress to tone it up. Coincidentally, it seems to get along with the feathers on my floppy hat. As usual, I had my favourite studded kicks and I was ready for Slowdive!

Here are some recaps of the concert taken by myself!

 

After the concert, we're all invited to the after party at Life is Beautiful, Kitchen Bar. It's a chilling restaurant bar that holds a concept of an exultation of spirit; to feel the cheerful enjoyment of life. 

We had our 'Sloe Dive' drinks and shoegazed the night away with the resident DJ.

Oh did I forget to mention that Slowdive was present at the bar too?! 

Anyways, Cheers!

Here's a video I took from the concert, with my favourite song, Machine Gun!
