L+F Wedding: Wedding preparation so far..

Friday, March 07, 2014

Quite a number of my friends have been asking me, so how's the wedding prep and actually, i can honestly say most of the vendors that i'm suppose to engage, i've confirmed with them and to be honest i'm pretty impressed with my efficiency! hahahah *thick skinned*

So we actually only confirmed that we're doing the wedding this year in mid-end January, went to a fortune teller to get the "auspicious dates" , didn't really manage to get any date at all haha, randomly went to the hotel of our choice to do a inpromptu "site recee" then making appointment with the events guy and put down our deposit for the banquet on the spot in end January. 


And then I went ahead to research the various vendors 
and have since then confirmed the below within a month! haha

AD Videographer: Forever Films
Pre-wedding photography: Jeremy from AlvinAdeline Weddings
Pre-wedding videography: Benny from AlvinAdeline Weddings
Pre-wedding Makeup-Artist: Rosalyn 
Pre-wedding shoot Florist: The Flower Factory 
Photobooth: Phooth SG
Papergoods Designer: James from Party With Eva
Bridal House: The Gown Warehouse
Tea Ceremony Cheongsum: Mazzario Cheongsum
Actual Day Makeup-Artist: Clara Song
Wedding band: Fatt + Ywenna
Wedding car: Leon's car 
Bridesmaid Dresses: Club Couture


Honeymooooooooon:
So our wedding would be on the 22nd November Saturday, and we've decided to go for our honeymoon RIGHT after the wedding on the 24th, flying to London and we'll be travelling thru Paris + Rome / Venice and back to Paris to fly back to SG, total of 18 days! 

We've booked our flights via AirFrance and you won't believe how cheap it is! 
For the both of us it's only $2017, surprisingly alright isn't it?

Haahah ever since we confirmed the honeymoon i've been doing more research on the honeymoon and not doing anything else on the wedding! (what else is there for me to do right now anyway? too early to DIY stuff right? hahaha) hehe but i'm just soooo excited!


So back to the wedding, Leon even bought his suit already! He bought like 3 suits 
and he's still going to order another one. Please, SO SO SO VAIN. Hahahaha

We have customized and ordered our wedding rings too, 
right now we're just waiting for them to revert with the 3D drawing for any final changes 
and it'll be good to go! 

I'm so crazy excited for mine, because it's such a crazy fun piece! 
It can be worn on it's own, it can be worn separately 
and it can also be worn with my gorgeous engagement ring. :D 

Our wedding bands totally don't match at all and it doesn't matter to me, 
but again, there's no way leon can find anything to match mine anyway hahaha.
 


As of now, we're still looking out for:

a Florist, Groomsmen + our Parents outfits for the big day! 
(i think that's pretty much it right? Did i miss anything?)

Please please please do kindly do share if you have any recommendation? (:

It's my monthly facial time back at Phoenix La Beaute!

Wednesday, March 05, 2014



I actually love going over to Palasis Renaissance for my facial + slimming treatments because i can always go over to Antoinette to grab some sweet treats or a couple Macaroon after my treatment! :D

It's also quite an "atas" and quiet mall so even if I wander around the mall post-facial (with my face slightly red after all the extractions and makeup free) I wouldn't feel too conscious!


Breaking out like crazy look at all the angry red pimples omg, Phoenix La Beaute help meeeee!!!

Before starting my facial, my therapist asked me to slip my legs into these metallic "pants" looking machine so i can actually do 2 treatments at one go! 

Pressotherapy and also the signature Phoenix Classic Facial 
(The 6 step facial to Radiant + Firmer Skin!)!

My therapist explained that Pressotherapy is great for people with lots of cellulite as it helps to promote much better blood circulation (blood circulation is bad for OL's like me) and also for better lymphatic drainage thus it helps reduce cellulite and you know what, it's super super comfy!

It uses air pressure to create this massage motion- and combined with the Classic facial, 
I feel like I'm in heaven!



The products used for this facial smells oh-so-good, 
even the makeup remover smells so nice i want to eat it!!! hahaha

After removing my makeup and double cleansing, she used a diamond tip micro-dermabrasion machine to slough off the dead skin cells to reveal a clearer, brighter complexion! (:



I think i have a medium-high threshold for pain so extractions are normally ok for me, don't extract out then forever clog there, so gross!!!

I really think that the therapists at Phoenix La Beaute are really very professional and gentle and they were able to make the whole tear-jerking extraction as painless as possible.



After going for facials monthly at Phoenix La Beaute, i think it's so much better to simply hand over to the professionals to take care of our face, I used to be very lazy to go for facials and think to myself huh so mafan squeeze white/blackhead + pimple also must go facial then very itchy hand go and squeeze myself in the end - so much scars and all now!

Even if you can squeeze your pimples or white/black head at home with those pimple squeezing applicators, we don't know exactly how to squeeze properly so what if we leave a scar?! 
Or even if squeeze already we also don't know if it's totally clean or not and we end up hurting our skin even more. 

Tsk tsk no more anyhow squeeze. Getting older and pimple marks are becoming harder and harder to heal these days. Just leave it to the pro!



One of my favorite part of the facial is the facial/neck/decollage massage- massaging to improve blood circulation of your face is super important for firming and anti-aging purposes!
It feels so good and relaxing after a long day at work and i always fall asleep at this point. (:


The last and final step of the Classic Facial is a customized masque, 
deep hydration mask for me please!

BYEBYE ANGRY RED PIMPLES!

Loving how my skin looks after facial, 
it always has this wonderful glow even days after the facial treatment!

Insider Review on Jonsson Protein Hair Treatment

Tuesday, February 25, 2014

So 9 months more and it will be our wedding so i thought it's also time to start a beauty routine to address all the "beauty issues"! 

Hahaha these things take time you know! Especially our pre-wedding photoshoots will be done between this April-June (i think?) so got to look my best before then right?

The thing is, i've had short hair for the longest time in my life (i think i had bob-shoulder length hair for about 6 years since i snipped them off in Secondary 2?) and my hair has always been pretty thick and healthy when it was short, my current hair length is like, the longest it's ever been in my life so perhaps it's a lack of nutrients and my hair is super dry cos my hair ends are probably already "dead" from my previous ombre bleaching haha and i guess the combination of both is causing my hair to drop like nonstop?!

Only recently i feel like i'm quite a bitch haha because previously when my friend told me she's damn stressed because her hair keep dropping and I was like AIYAH WILL GROW BACK ONE LA and pretty much brushed her off. 

But only now i realize how scary it is to drop SO MUCH HAIR! I feel like the side and back of my hair is still ok, but my "crown" area feels substantially flatter and thinner!

I think after the wedding i'm going to cut my hair shorter although i really love my current hair length because it's so much fun to curl and style long hair! 


Raaah enough of my ranting, now that i got all that out, i was super relieved when the kind folks at Jonsson Protein Healthy Hair Growth offered to have me try their treatments!

Do you know 91% of protein in hair follicles can cause hair loss problem?
 

Wow 91%?! OMG people when you diet can cut carbs but don't cut on proteins ok!! 
Hahaha later hair no nutrients and protein then all start to fall out!!! 
(lol please ignore my advice, I anyhow say one ah.)


After a quick registration, I met my super friendly (and pretty!) consultant, Yobie who will be taking care of me today!

She did a short consultation and i told her my area of concern (oily scalp, hair fall from dry and tangly hair) and she asked me about my habits like how often do i wash my hair (everynight!) etc and proceed to clean the scanner with an alcohol swab (personal hygiene is super important and i really appreciate that small little step) imagine if the previous person had dandruff or SUPER oily scalp eeeeew.


Do you know that lack of protein in hair follicles can lead to hair thinning, brittle hair roots, weak and dry hair, increase dandruff and hair loss. – I was totally unaware so the consultation session was really enlightening!

With professional solutions for hair loss, advanced equipments and innovative protein treatments - Jonsson Protein assures to help tackle different hair problems with visible results!


Yobie did scans of the hair from 4 sections of my head, left, right, back and crown area and I saw this eeky waxy oil thing (sorry i've no idea what it's called) but basically it should not be there since i wash my hair every night, that means the sebum secretion is in overdrive and if it continues to build up it would clog my hair follicles and eventually it will cause a hair growth problem!!!


Yobie explained that today's treatment would be to do a deep cleanse and *VE protein + ampoule treatment on my scalp to thoughly remove this waxy oily substance and to condition my scalp.

This treatment has 5 main benefits:

• Cleanses oily scalp & unclogs follicles
• Encourages healthy hair growth
• Strengthens & moisturises from roots to ends
• Restores natural shine
• Improves thickness of hair

*VE protein is a kind of protein that is easily absorbed by the hair follicles.


It's quite scary, my hair fall situation is in the 2nd stage (top right) and Yobie said every 5 years it will more or less proceed to the next stage which means i could have a HUGE hairloss problem by the time i'm in my 30s!!!! Better take care of the root of the problem before it gets there! ):


Yobie gave me a quick tour of Jonsson and they even have a couple of private rooms if you're shy about doing treatments for hair growth you can totally request to be in the private room.


Sat down and they served me this yummy protein drink, quite refreshing!

Yobie started by a deep cleansing hair massage with a shampoo suitable for my oily scalp condition, i was actually feeling rather sick the day before and still feeling a little groogy and have not recovered but Yobie's hair massage skill was so so good *SUPER THUMBS UP* that i felt much revitalized!

Closing my eyes and I'm in my personal heaven while Yobie continues the scalp massage. I've never really been one to enjoy scalp massages, but wow this was amazing. Oh do you know that your scalp is way more delicate than the skin on your face? Using your fingernails to massage your scalp is a huge no-no!
 
After the scalp massage, Yobie rinsed my hair out with cool water as she explained that warm water will actually stimulate the sebum secretion, ooooh now i know!


After washing, she applied this ampoule it my scalp followed by the VE Protein mask and put me on this blue infar rays machine to help increase absorption.


After the treatment, a 2nd round of hair wash and blow dry, Yobie even blow dry curls for me, love it!! hehe
 

Did another scan to check the "progress" on my eeky waxy oily scalp situation and look!!! It's like a vast improvement la my scalp so so squeaky clean!! 
Clean healthy scalp = able to absorb the nutrients applied to the scalp for subsequent treatment ma!


I think the Jonsson Protein hair growth treatment experience has been very pleasant, treatment time is not too long and the whole procedure is comfy and the best thing is it doesn't smell bad or have a strong old school herbal scent you would imagine when you think of the typical treatment solution for hair loss, in fact I think my hair smell pretty nice the entire day after the treatment!
