30 day song challenge day 09: song i can dance to

Day 09 — A song that you can dance to I’ll admit that I can’t dance for nuts.  Unfortunately, I was not born with dancing 细胞。Instead, I learnt the hand actions to some songs like Perfume’s “My Color” and Ayumi Hamasaki’s “Trauma”. But if I really wanted to dance to a song, I’ll choose AKB48’s “恋するフォーチュンクッキー” (Koisuru Fortune Cookie). It’s…

SkinnyMint teatox programme

Tadaa! I’ve completed the 28-day SkinnyMint teatox programme. There are tons of testimonials on the website but before you get bought into it, you must know that the product works differently for different people.

night cleansing

Am sipping the Night Cleanse tea (second brew) as I write this post. Was expecting the ginger taste to be really strong, but it’s surprisingly quite mild. The peppermint taste is also not too strong and rather calming. I only tasted the ginger when I reached the bottom of the cup. Hope it calms the achy feeling I got in…

dare to be gorgeous

Regular Facebook users should have noticed by now the ads for this detox…or teatox programme called SkinnyMint. Detox has been on my mind for some time now. Ever since I started work, I’ve been battling a constipation problem. I also had a persistent pimple problem on my back. I figured what I really needed was a good detox. My mother-in-law…
