Back to central London for some shopping.
Already breaking out my gorgeous new Miu Miu flats and i feel a tad more fancy in them! hehe

Woots Portobello Market! We took a bus from our hotel and reached there in no time, so so so hungry and can't wait to eat our faces off!


Freshly fried yummy crispy Churros!! I was like more cinnamon sugar more more more, pretty please! :D


Scored a beeeeeautiful antique watch, it's from the 1970(s)! I really love the unique watch face! Also it's an automatic so i never have to worry about batteries. hehe


I don't know what's the big deal about roasted Marrons in the UK, it's unlike in SG our version is roasted with coffee bean etc and it's soooo fragrant and yummy, there it's literally just roasted over a fire and honestly, doesn't taste good at all, worst thing is that it's 6 pieces of that crap for 1.50pounds!!

Antiques stores are only open on Saturdays, so please take note!


We went to catch The Mousetrap at St Martin's Theatre, which was simply FABULOUS! So intriguing and totally awesome and kept us all guessing till the very last mo'!

The Mousetrap has been running for a record-breaking 63 years!! That night we caught it, it was the 25,851 performance of the Mousetrap.



The next day, we went to hunt for some fresh mussels at Belgo (Covent Garden), Leon dined here awhile ago while on the leehom or JJ Lin tour so of course he had to bring me there!

While waiting for it to open for lunch, we visited Neal's Yard Dairy just opposite Belgo to taste a variety of cheese and bought 2 wedges to munch on for our train ride to Zurich, Switzerland the next day.

Neal's Yard Dairy was recommend for their cheese making/tasting class which seemed really interesting but sadly the dates did not coincide our stay in London but if you're a cheese lover you might want to try!


Special christmas beer!


Whoa seriously it was SO DAMN GOOD! I never thought we would be able to finish 2 buckets on our own, but we so did! (we don't exactly eat mussels back in SG)



Shopping time at Covent Garden!


PS: I was damn shocked when he suddenly gave me his calves to hold like 2 seconds before the shutter went off! Seriously, see how high his legs went!! Up till my chest area at that angle?! That's freaking awesomeballs! LOL

Apparently many people thought he was the real deal. 
Of course Mr Bean won't be on the streets performing la hahaha that will be too good to be true!


Shake Shack hotdog to share with my hubbay! 
Apparently their burgers are a must eat but i think the hotdog was just.. Meh.

[Sponsored Ad ] PH Corrective Facial Therapy at Suddenly Slender

Wednesday, February 25, 2015

Hello!
It’s been awhile since I last treated my skin to a nice relaxing facial treatment. And just as I was thinking about it, Suddenly Slender actually invited me to try out their facial! How great was that!

Remember some time back I was sharing about the awesome body slimming result I’ve achieved just within a treatment? If you’ve missed that, here’s the link

With all that good testimonials, yes I’m definitely all in for a good ol’facial at the Holiday Inn Orchard outlet.




Prior to the appointment, I wasn’t quite sure which treatment they will be performing on me, but I was told that the therapist will perform a skin analysis so to customise a treatment that would fit perfectly to your current skin condition.  


Kim who was my facial therapist of the day did a quick scan on me and explained that my skin is oily but deeply dehydrated and there's some redness due to sensitivity. Ok wait, up till here I’ve never thought that I have sensitive skin!? 

But the scan did help me understand a little more about my current skin condition. Probably I’ve neglected taking care of my skin for a while now hence it gets sensitive lately! Thus, she recommended the PH Corrective Facial Therapy to attack my current skin condition!

PH Corrective Facial Therapy
Many elements can interfere with the natural chemical balance of the skin, causing harm to the delicate structure of the skin’s external and internal mantle. This intensive therapy will restore your face’s pH level to its optimal level, allowing for beautiful, hydrated and confident looking skin.


Changed into a comfy waffle bathrobe and was ready to go!


And of course, Kim introduced this set of products that is suitable for my sensitive skin and started to perform the PH Balancing Facial: 

Step 1: Double cleansed my face to make sure that every stitch of makeup was thoroughly removed prior to any treating of skin. Followed by a scrub for sensitive skin to remove dead skin cells so the products applied subsequently will be able to be absorbed into the skin.

Step 2: After the scrub, the steamer came in place to help open up the pores. This step would prep the skin for extractions so that the process will be efficient and over painlessly. 

Step 3: Extraction was performed and cleaned up. She did a facial massage thereafter to increase blood circulation for a glowy dewy skin!

Step 4: Applied a thick layer of mask over the full face and rest.
The whole process was pleasant and the therapist is really skilful! I literally fell asleep zZz..(like again!) even during the extraction process. Haha! Salute me.




Here I am, 1.5 weeks later my skin is still as glowy and clear!

 If you travel a lot, lead a hectic work schedule, often put on make-ups and tend to turn in late at night (I know! Like who sleeps early nowadays?), then probably you would need to keep your skin in checks once a while or if you can, get yourself a good facial once a month. Who knows like me, the skin can get sensitive every now and then when neglected.

Who says healthy skin is hard to achieve! I believe pampering yourself once in a blue moon is as good as saving yourself big bucks on expensive products that eventually may or may not work as effectively when skin problems arises even before you know.



Exclusive discount for TheLuckiestChick Readers: 
I'll be running a giveaway on Instagram (@FidelisToh) and giving away 5 sets of complimentary facial treatment and by quoting "FidelisToh" you get a further discount to enjoy 20% off any packages  (valid till Dec 2015)

Moooooorning! Woke up bright and early and couldn't wait to start my day! 

Breakfast at The Blenheim Buttery Inn first, super short vlog today because we only had about 2 hours to explore Blenheim palace park (we didn't go into the palace, i definitely would if we had more time) then planned to go to Bichester Village which was 20 mins drive away for some outlet shopping!



It's starting to look alot like CHRISTMAS!!!
My manslave hubbay getting part 1 of my breakfast for me muahaha 
 

This was THE BEST crossiants i have had, in my life! 
OMG crusty flaky goodness come to mama!!! They bake them in their kitchen, we should have got a bunch of them for the road!! Ahhhhh drooling for these babies now T-T
 

Part 2 of my breakfast! Hot Choco + a huge breakfast consisting of smoked salmon, toast + fluffy scrambled eggs! Even meal up till now is awesome la, really nothing to complain except that i'm way too stuffed with good food by the end of the meal. haha


Blue hiding hood fidel hiding from the cooooooold, real frosty morning and we were walking to our little rented car to drive into Blenheim Palace!
  

Wheeee! Blenheim Palace was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987
 

Is it possible to not feel like you're in a fairytale in this moment? 




We were taking a walk and we saw this lady jogging pass us and I was thinking how incredibly lucky is she?! She gets to jog by such a beautiful sight every single day, she probably don't even notice this beautiful sight anymore! Lol in singapore we can jog by bedok reservoir and cross our fingers and hope to not spot any corpse floating by. :/
 

Love you hubbay! Mwacks!


A peek of the palace!




The sheeps are all so shy!! I'm not gonna eat you, don't run! 
As soon as i walk near-ish they ZAO already! WWWWWWWHHHHYYYYY

We went to Bicester Village which was a 20 minutes drive away, we didn't realize it was Black Friday so there was so shitload of people! Had to wait a little for carpark too because of that.

Didn't take any photos cos we were so busy shopping! Muahahaha, Leon went there twice on his previous work trips and bought his MCM and some prada stuff for me and himself then so he didn't find anything he really like this time, but still he burned a huge hole in his pocket buying me a bunch of pretty stuff!
  

He got me this pair of Python Miu Miu Loafers and this chilli red duo tone bag from Roberto Cavalli so so so pretty with all the gold details! (:


Got myself a pair of D&G shade + Kate Spade bangle!
