HELP!! BACK-ACNE strikes right before the wedding, award winning bacial treatment at My Cozy room to the rescue!!

Tuesday, October 28, 2014

Hello!

Been busy prepping for the wedding and just had our Guo Da Li yesterday, which was crazy tiring all in all because we both had to drive all over the place separately with our parents to deliver the cakes and invitations to our relatives, and gooooood it was such a hot day!

Perhaps the wedding nearing has made me a little nervous recently and my back started to have some breakouts despite being in pretty good condition the past couple years haha what a joke right! stress at work, no problem no breakouts on the back, wedding nearing and not super stressed in particular then when i need my back to look nice and smooth, then it breaks out. Damn you hormones!

So I was pretty relieved when My Cozy Room contacted me with an invite to drop by their adorable spa along Cairnhill for their award winning Bridal Detoxifying Bacial Treatment, it was awarded by Blissful Brides to being the Best Bridal Detoxifying Back Treatment.


I've came across My Cozy Room previously when i went for dinner at their downstairs Japanese grilled meat restaurant and was pretty impressed that they provided valet services for their customers, so thoughtful of them!


Was served a nice soothing cup of tea while Celine from My Cozy Room explained to me the procedure of this detoxifying bacial which last for a good 75mins, dying to try the treatment asap and get rid of my back breakouts! Don't want to don my pretty wedding gowns from TheGownWarehouse but end up having my guest distracted at my pimple-y back, eeek!

I'm sure all brides out there will have the same concerns! Worried about not looking "flawless" enough etc. I used to have pretty bad back-acne when i was in my teens/late teens and I always feel a tad conscious about my back when I wear any tops that show my back or like when i'm in a bikini but I used to go for frequent bacials and eventually it got better and when I was about 21 or so it went away and never was an issue for me anymore till recently! ):


With the pretty boss Celine, she's so crazy adorable right!
LOL! She said cos i'm a to-be-bride so I should wear a tiara! *shy*


The bacial I went for back then was pretty basic, extractions and exfoilation and mask. So I was sold on this treatment when Celine explained to me the procedure of the award winning Detoxifying Bacial at My Cozy Room:

After the therapist analyse my skin, she would determine which products to use (they use internationally known brand - BABOR in their treatments and I know for a fact that their ampoules are really effective!)

Followed by this 8 essential steps:
  • Deep pore cleansing
  • Steaming
  • A gentle but through extractions
  • Sparkling diamond peel therapy
  • Application of tonic 
  • Relaxing back and shoulder massage
  • Eifelfango Volcanic Masque
and finished with application of toner and lotion!


I was ready for my treatment so my therapist led me to one of their treatment room, I love the look and feel of the entire spa! So princessy and floral details and crystal chandeliers everywhere, the first thing i thought to myself was - Esther would love this place!



The Treatment:


OMG. JUST. FREAKING. LOOK. AT. MY. BACK!!! This is prior to the treatment.
The breakouts were soooo bad, can you imagine me in my wedding gown and with a back like this? )':

The Sparkling diamond peel therapy was done using a machine with a diamond tip exfoilating and removing all the dead skin cells and brightening skin overall because i have uneven skintone and some pimple marks as well



I used to remember how i would be grabbing on the treatment bed's linen when i go for my bacials at the other beauty salon because the extractions always hurts so much but the therapist was really professional and definitely know what she's doing obviously because extraction was a breeeeeeeze! It was so painless I almost dozed off a couple times! Hahaha and it's not even like i'm freaking tired or anything, it was just such a comfortable environment.


The therapist using high frequency to kill bacteria and minimise any infection after the extraction.


And wow the back and head massage was so invigorating! I've been doing some workouts and it soooo nice to have my sore muscles kneaded and massaged.


My pampering bacial also consist of a Eifelfango Volcanic mask which is a natural mineral clay from Eifel, a Volcanic region near Aachen which flushes out impurifies and detoxifies the skin cells while promoting metabolic processes in the cells for softer, brighter, healthier skin!


I had my final gown fitting the week after and look! The breakout on my back was gone and it looks sooooo much brighter and smoother, even the pimples marks are lighter as compared to before. 

Not so worried about wearing my back-baring tea ceremony cheongsums and wedding gowns now, thank god for bacials!


Counting down 26 days to the wedding! Damn, time flies!

L&F WEDDING | SINGAPORE . Pre-Wedding Sneakpeek Series 02

Friday, October 17, 2014

Hello! 
Wedding Tea Dress from Taobao
Suits: Groom's own
Hair + Makeup: Roselyn



Counting down 4 weeks to #FideLeonWedding, to be honest i'm freaking out a little here because i keep fretting about what i have not done at this point of time. I keep having the feeling that I'm missing out something. 

The other day i had a scary dream that Leon and I arrived at the hotel at 7pm, and we missed our wedding ceremony at the rooftop poolside which was at 6.30pm, I was freaking out because somehow i was doing my makeup without a mirror and turned out i look like crap when i finally saw myself in the mirror and I was like where the F is my makeup artist!!! I'm late to my own wedding and my hair and makeup IS. NOT. DONE!!!

Hahahah bridezilla in my dreams, other than that creepy dream, in real life i feel that i'm quite a chill bride, just.. freaking.. out.. inside...!!! 



HONEYMOON

Our 3 week long honeymoon planning still in progress, 
so far we're finally settled on which cities to visit, here's the rough plan: 

The day after our wedding, flying off at midnight, transit in paris and landing in London (yay winter wonderland, christmas markets and skating rinks in Hyde Park FTW), spend a week in london in which 3 days we will be on a self-driven roadtrip to the Cotswolds and of course to the Bichester Shopping Village for some awesome shopping, then back to central london to meet up with some of our friends before taking the Eurostar down to Paris then train to Zurich where we will be staying for a couple days to visit the Swiss Alps and maaaaaaybe if the weather allows, I want to go hanggliding!

 After Zurich we will train down to Milan to change train to Venice and again a couple days there to enjoy the beautiful city and we will be taking an overnight sleeper train (so excited!) back to Paris which is the last leg of our trip (Disneyland Paris! I don't care if it's "small" because i've never been to any disneyland, so no comparison for me!)

We're airbnb-ing almost throughout the entire trip except for B&Bs in The Cotwolds and a hotel stay in Venice, we're a pretty casual couple so fingers crossed and hope for an amazing experience all the way!





Ahhhh what I'll do for love. 
For the 2nd set of shots from our pre-wedding shoot with AlvinAdeline & Co, we wanted something more fun and cheeky that really represents how we really are, IRL!
 
And because Leon is a huge ass fan of dino and honestly, he has pretty much dragged me to every dino show in sg or overseas despite me not wanting to go see another exhibition full of bones, i'll get kidnapped and dragged there lol 

So I happened to chance upon these inflatable t-rex from amazon haha and we were thinking of dressing it up in human clothes and bow tie, vest or whatever (we thought it was much bigger when we ordered it actually) and in the end we bought a t-rex and a bran...whatever..saurus lol. 

And Tadaaaaaaah, May I present this series of shots which will never be possible without the amazing help of  Jeremy and his team from AlvinAdeline & Co.

[AD] Say hello to SUPER 10, with all the boxes priced at $10!

Wednesday, October 15, 2014



We just received some inside news to what Black Box is up to recently. Apparently, they really have something up their sleeves. Some of you might have already noticed the little changes done to the bi-monthly boxes, so let’s wait and see. I smell something here and I can’t wait to find out what it is!

To something that’s more exciting for all of us today – Say hello to SUPER 10! 
The Black Box team just put together 3 LIMITED EDITION boxes for the month of October, and what’s unique about these boxes are that they have a different superhero character that represents the personality of each box (I, for one could relate to one of the boxes). 

So which tickles your fancy?



Let’s take a look at my SUPER 10 box, I got Sapphire Wonder!

Sapphire Wonder: "Girls will save the world, we can make bad men good, and weak woman strong. Put me to test and I can do wonders."


For $10, I got 2 full sized products (Nivea Fruity Shield Pink Guava + Himalaya Neem Face pack) and 3 travel sized products (Hada labo Cleanser + Lotion + Klarity Lasertox CC Cream) and 1 sachet of Nivea In-shower skin conditioner.

Tinted lip balms are a lifesaver especially during times like when i'm driving/working and don't have time to properly touch up my lippies, I can't stand my lips feeling all dry/tight/chapped or worst, looking pale like a zombie! So I always make a point keep one good tinted lipbalm handy in my purse to keep my lips hydrated and the Nivea Fruity Shine Pink Guava lipbalm has this nice pinky glossy tint that makes your lips look intantly plumper and kissable! Muuuuuacks! 

I haven't exactly gotten used to the concept of conditioning my skin in the shower with the Nivea In-shower skin conditioner but Nivea body products always has this soft calming scent that is real soothing so it's nice using it at the end of the day.

After reviewing the Himalaya nourishing cream, which i absolutely love (I have already packed a travel-friendly mini tub in my honeymoon vacation luggage, winter in europe, I'm so going to slather it all over during this trip to protect my skin from the cold!) I started to explore the other products from Himalaya and i read lots of great reviews of the Neem Face Pack which many commented has saved or really helped with clearing up their breakouts and I would say i'm not a total fan of the herb-y scent, but it works wonder for my oily skin thou!

My fiance is a huge fan of hada labo products! he has gone through about 3-4 tubes of the Hada Labo Super-Hyaluronic Acid Cleanser now, he has dry skin so it's does a fine job in cleansing and yet never drying out his skin. A couple drops of hyaluronic acid lotion is enough to preps my skin for the other steps of my skin regime.

The Klarity Lasertox CC's other name is the "Miracle White Lotion", I'm normally not obsessed with whitening but I definitely don't mind have brighter skin! The texture is a light soft cream which spreads ultra easy + absorbs without leaving any residue in no time, i'm not sure what technology do they use in this cream but my skin does look slightly brighter after application, it has SPF 30 PA ++ too so if your skin is generally clear, not in need of much coverage and all you need is a brighter complexion, you might want to try this!




SUPER 10 Sapphire Wonder box, together with 2 other variants, Beauty Beast and Iron Amber, are available at Black Box Qoo10 store or E-Store at $10 each.
Because it’s SUPER 10, and like the name suggests, these boxes are priced at $10 each. Can’t decide on which to buy? Why not get all 3, at a special price of $25!

L&F WEDDING | SINGAPORE . Pre-Wedding Sneakpeek Series 01

Wednesday, October 01, 2014

Hello you!


I've got exactly 2 months to the wedding now, following up to my last post where i was sharing about my exciting experience of picking my wedding gown from The Gown Warehouse, which I also mentioned that we took up the bridal package along with pre-wedding photography + MUA services!

I've shared some sneak peeks of the shots from the pre-wedding shoot and I've had some to-be brides asking me on FB on the details and contact of the bridal studio, photography studio and makeup services, so I'd thought I'll share my experience here!

Within the package, there were 2 photographers to choose from to work with and we went with Jeremy from AlvinAdeline & Co, firstly- we love love love his work, secondly- Leon's sister May engaged them for their actual day wedding videography services previously and it was so tastefully and nicely done!

For my makeup artist we also had a couple of choices and I made up my mind about my choice, Roselyn almost as soon as i saw her portfolio, hehe she does alot of commercial fashion shoots as well as bridal so I trusted that she can give me the look i had in mind!



So Leon and I went to AlvinAdeline & Co office for a discussion session about 1-2 months before the shoot to plan it. We had a very fruitful session sharing our "love story" with them, shooting around ideas and seeing what would work for us. After the meeting, we shortlisted and picked out 3 locations to do the shoot, I'm also going to be sharing some sneak peeks from our first location at Bukit Timah Saddle Club where we thought looked so so dreamy and apt for the mermaid cut gown with these amazingly dreamy ruffles on the bottom that we picked out from The Gown Warehouse! 


FYI: For anybody who might be looking to shoot at Bukit Timah Saddle Club, it used to be free but now you have to pay a $100 to be allowed to shoot within the compound. 
And if you want to rent a horse for an hour for your shoot it will be a total of $200!
HAHAHA horse rental :/ for some reason that sounds funny to me.

To be honest I wasn't feeling my best during the morning of the shoot, and the heat and dragging around the heavy gown probably didn't help, but working with Jeremy during the shoot... It was AWESOME. 

He's so so so good at directing us when we had no idea what to do and really capturing the moment and he really made us feel very comfortable the whole time, no awkwardness at all. (:

Here are some of my favorite shots!

Leon and Fidelis.
