You Only Live Once.

The thought of planning a wedding can be both exciting and daunting for average folks like me & Mr. Kim. We definitely dread the bills that will haunt us. In today's world, we constantly follow influencers on social media and they unconsciously set perceptions in our minds of what a wedding should entail. We could easily be led astray without realizing that certain rash decisions can burn a really unnecessary big hole in our wallets.  For us, the main goal is to get value for money products and services that are affordable to the both of us. To do things that can be done on our own with minimum effort. And most importantly, be happy and enjoy the process. :)  Naturally, as accountancy grads, the first step is to set up a "Timeline and Budget" excel file with the following details: As a couple, it is really important to discuss and be open on budget even if the guy is paying 100%. So each of us know what to expect and how to decide on what to pur...

So 6 years ago, I dumbly scratched my eye when I removed my contact lenses.. That was the start of my long term nightmare. My eye kept tearing non stop and it was so damn pain. Any exposure to light felt like it was being stabbed. I had to wear sunglasses and cap even at night -.-" It was just so unbearable. Strictly no TV, computer & handphone because my eye just can't take the light from these devices.  It took 5 excruciating days to heal but the attacks kept coming back. Also, I couldn't wear contact lens again! That was devastating news to me. :'( I had to take my exams wearing sunglasses and a cap with a ball of tissue stuffed below my eye to absorb the never-ending tears. Stupid prof did not allow me to carry forward the 60% share of project work to the next semester/defer my exam. Must have looked pretty hilarious in the exam hall then. My parents brought me to an  Ophthalmologist at Gleneagles Hospital (lvl 6). But after seeing this specialist ...

I happen to chance upon this body shop foot file introduced by a podiatrist (foot doctor) which cost S$6.90. I don't have any troubled feet problem but thought I should just give it a try just for fun. -.-"  Before (no idea why it looks dirty despite washing them thoroughly): With a *wave of my foot file* and a shout out "dead skin be gone!" TADAH! Results : Honestly, I have no idea how to use it. After washing & drying them,  I just happily file my feet by scrubbing it against those areas with thicker skin. It feels like sandpaper and the file will have visible dead skin (those powder looking thing) attached to it.  Then I ended the process by washing and drying them again and applied moisturizer (I feel it absorbs better after filing). My foot became smoother, fairer and free from callus~ :) I did some research and realise that I should also soak my feet before filing. Maybe I can also do a foot mask after filing. ...

I used to have rather dry, cracked lips. And my itchy fingers will go an tear those dry skin off, leaving my lips bloody at times. T_T Having such dry lip condition makes lip sticks/tints/gloss hard to look smooth. It just looks cakey and ugly. That's when my lovely boyfriend (thankew dear ^^ ) bought for me the Vaseline Lip Therapy  with Advanced Formula as seen below in the picture.  It's really really good and is really cheap at S$2.80 at those neighbourhood stores!  I use it before I sleep and before I put on my lip stick/tint/gloss.  It is like a gel and is very creamy. So don't overly squeeze the cream out! It has no smell and no colour. So you can use it as a make up base. My BFF recommends the Elizabeth Arden Lip Protectant Stick that contains protective sunscreen. But obviously that is much much more expensive. $_$ Ultimately, the best treatment to anything will of course be to drink more water!
