Angela's Full Month Party

Hi everyone!!! 

As you guys might have already known, my mum recently gave birth to an adorable baby sister, she's called Angela hehe.

Today's post will be about her full month party this afternoon, which we co-ordinated about a month ago with the event company Assemble Happinest :) 

We engaged them bc I showed my mum Qiu Qiu's blog about Meredith first month party so she really loved the concept and wanted something similar! And the event planners were really good with all the styling of dessert tables and really getting what we wanted. 

23.10.15 The day that my mum gave birth I rushed to the hospital as soon as my classes ended to see this sweet lil angel, worth it. 

So excited bc she's my first ever sister omg??? And I can't wait to buy her hairbands and clothes and omg so many more things. 

Whatcha lookin' at

With my beautiful momma after we finished doing our makeup hehe. Congrats on her end of confinement too wakakaka you can now eat whatever you want :P

Not forgetting the brudder ofc (; Didn't get to take a proper pic with the older one tho :(

Beautiful in white? 

We've selected Whisk & Paddle as our venue as it's pretty near mum's place and size of the place was good. Fortunately we chose the indoor area instead of the alfresco as it rained outside, though the alfresco place seemed really pretty as well. 

Dessert table, also photos area haha. Requested for Angel theme with 20% pink 20% gold and 60% white. Look how pretty it turned out!!! I loved every single detail and effort made towards the dessert table. 

Erm...... did someone say freeflow macaroons??? *hearts emoji*

Yes, indeed. 

Even the plastic forks have gold ribbons. 

Loving the baby's breath and roses

Her resting area, really similar to Meredith's one and really suits the angel theme ;)

Oh, and we also hired a photographer to take photos and print out on the spot. The photos came out lovely due to the lighting and of course the pretty dessert table!

That's all for this post.. thanks for reading & goodnight sweeties :*

Skincare Routine

Hi guyssss!!! Have you all missed me? HAHAHA :P
Today's post is on my daily skincare routine. I'll be sharing the products that i've been using daily with you girls hehe.

For those who don't really do a skincare routine apart from cleansing your face with a cleanser, you should start like RIGHT NOW. Because skincare is v v v important (even for guys imo) in your teens. I started doing skincare quite late tho, like 15y/o???

Back then, I just thought rinsing my face with water during showers were good enough and never really understood or felt the need to develop these habits. A lot of people think that skincare should start when you're older but always always remember, #preventionisbetterthancure. Don't only start when you notice bad breakouts/fine lines forming on your face bc ITS TOO LATE.

Okay I've talked too much hahaha, let's begin!!!

(PS. sorry for the terrible quality of the photos, my phone camera's cui omg.)

Overview of the products. 

1. Sukin Foaming Facial Cleanser
I love this product mainly because it doesn't give that tight and clean feeling after I wash my face bc i've used a lot of facial cleansers that does and I feel those cleansers dries out my skin :(
I really recommend this as it contains natural essential oils such as Rosehip, Chamomile and Macadamia which is moisturising and nourishing *-* OH THE BEST PART??? It's sulfate and paraben-free, highly recommended for sensitive skin too!
It retails at around $11 at Watsons/Guardian and one bottle lasts me about 2-3months! 

2. Garnier Aqua Defense Sensitive Refreshing Toner (The name so long hahahahaha)
I use this after my cleanser! I would pour some on my palm and just pat my face to let it absorb! Lots of people put the toner on a cotton pad and pat it on the face instead but I feel like its a waste of resources????? Because like the cotton pad would absorb the toner and its REDUNDANT. Okay back to the product. My skin feels smooth and supple after using it and I find that it's really value for money!!!
Retails at Guardian, Watsons, CK, Venus (and every other stores that sells affordable skincare) price around $6-7 lasts around 3 months?? 

3. Kiehl's Lip Balm #1 (Optional unless you have really chapped lips)
Got this as a birthday gift like 2 years ago hahahaha. I think I've reviewed this in one of my older posts!! It's basically an oil-based lip balm that helps chapped lips! Kinda pricey ($17-ish) imo, so for an alternative, you can get Nivea/Lipice from Watsons! 

4. IOPE Tone & Wrinkle Care Eye Cream
I have some pre-mature wrinkles at the side of my eyes and my eye are is really dry so I'd use this after toner hehe. It's pretty moisturising and value for $$ because it's a really large tube! I've been using it for like half a year now and it haven't finish omg.
Got it at $11.9 on Qoo10 (bc Singapore don't carry IOPE products in physical stores :(((( ) 

5. Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream
Yes, use this after toner! Think I've mentioned this in my older post as well.  Its just a really good moisturiser from Kiehls and worked wonders for my ezcematic (ya i created the word) and sensitive skin. 

6. Clarins Ecran Multi-Protection
Sunscreen!!! Always use sunscreen, even when you're indoors because the UV rays can get indoors and harm your skin as well, don't think that because got no sun above your head means no UV rays okay!!! THEY ARE EVERYWHERE MUAHAHA (cue devil emoji) So this is like the last step of the skin care, just put some on the back of your palm and apply on your face evenly (less you want tan lines). Your skin will actually look older if you're exposed in the sun frequently without sun protection so don't risk that!!!!!!
THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP OKAY OKAY OKAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mumsie got me this at Robinsons (i think) for like $60++ but its really good bc non-greasy and no white patches! For cheaper alternative, check out the Biore/Faceshop/Missha ones ^^ 

7. Bio-Essence Miracle Bio Water (This is really optional btw!!!)
Reminds me of sec school days where siying brings this to class and we just spam it on our faces after PE lessons :DDDDDDD
If you're wondering why this don't have the cap on is because the cap quality SUCKS. This is already the second cap that broke out of two caps >:(
So I usually bring the travel version out in my bag (to school or long day out) to feel refreshed and kinda cool down my skin. 

Ending this post off with the cakes I had at Lady M(ichelle) <3 I love their crepes so much. K and I have so much fun tearing and counting the layers.


BYE SWEETHEARTS :* hope you guys enjoyed this post and it helped!

Je Suis De Retour

Hey Little Coconuts. (ok don't know why I just typed that..)

Oh if you're wondering what the blog title means…it's just 'Hey I'm Back" in french because I really suck at blog titles so here's a fancy one LOL. (did i get lamer this year???? not sure????)

Well I haven't been writing on this space for a super long time due to studies and my life wasn't that interesting hahaha because like school - home everyday and weekends reserved for family. But I finally decided to blog again since it's vacation break. YES 6 WEEKS #MESOVERYHAPPY

The pictures below are just some updates for over the past month and today!!!

So thankful for these pretty people because they crack me up so much and always laugh at my lame jokes omg. I'm gonna miss being in the same class with you guys :'( having mixed feelings about the next semester. 

Last Day of SEM ONE boohoo. 

PHO PHO PHO MERRY XMAS. Is it pronounced as "fhuer" HAHAHA I'm not sure either. 

Uniqlo. I like the shirt but the sleeves very auntie because of the tiny little folds.  Hmmm. 

Oh! I've been practicing brush lettering in my free time lately. It somehow helps release stress and takes my mine off things for a while which is good!!!!! Well I'm still not very good at it as you can see from the picture, but it makes me happy because I can really see myself improving on the strokes #yay #deepquotes 

Hi. 

Luge and Skyride today after god knows how many yearrrrrrs. 

Finally tried Lady M. It was good but waited for like 30mins?? Bad idea to visit during those hi-tea timings oops. 

Been into Gudetama lately because they're so cute!!! Go watch the  short videos on them on youtube if you haven't! too adorable hahaha. 

Should I do up a skincare routine on my next post??? Or maybe phone games review???

Okay lah actually I feel like I'm writing my thoughts out too much on this space :3

So this is the end of this post! Attempting to face the rest of the week with a positive attitude, hope you guys will do too! Thanks for reading <3 muackssssssssssie

Concetto by Saveur and FATCAT Ice Cream Bar Cafe [REVIEW]

hola amigos.

Today i'll be doing a food review on Concetto by Saveur & FATCAT cafe. I've always wanted to try out concetto's food ever since I watched the clicknetwork's foodporn episode hehe. As for FATCAT cafe, it was the excited bud bud who introduced and brought me there.

I love their interior btw!!! 

MENU. 

peekture time

Shirley Temple Mocktail -- Grenadine Syrup, Sprite & Lime Juice $3 
We were caught between getting this or the homemade ice lemon tea as it was the same price haha, but decided to try this since we've never tried this before and I love trying out new stuffs. This drink its rather refreshing tho a lil on the sweet side, overall 6/10 would love to try out the lemon tea on my next visit!

Duck Tortellini -- Ingot-shaped pasta filled with shredded duck confit and ricotta cheese; served with sous-vide egg, new potato and parmesan emulsion $12.90
This dish definitely captured my attention because of the foam and poached egg, who doesn't love poached eggs right????? Initially I found the fillings of the pasta a tad too savory but afterwards I realize it was actually satisfactory bc the pasta itself had no taste to it (obviously) and I loveeeee how the egg yolk goes with the shredded duck confit. Overall, loved it so 8/10!! 

Beef Oyster Blade -- beef shoulder blade; cooked for 36 hours; served with baby carrots, coffee soil and carrot puree $15.90
This dish was DA BOMB. I repeat myself DA BOMB DIGGITY BOMB.
Okay, where do I begin? The beef was oh so tender, literally melt-in-the-mouth. And this picture definitely don't do enough justice for the food. Already craving for more after I was done with it omg… NEED. TO. GO. BACK. FOR. MORE. If any of you visits this restaurant please try this!!!! No regrets hehe. I'd rate it a whooping 10/10 :P 

Funghi Risotto -- Arborio rice cooked in mushroom broth & mixed mushrooms; served with enoki tempura, thinly sliced king oyster mushroom & red wine pickled shallots $10.90
I've never tried risotto but this wasn't too bad, just that the rice could be cooked longer, overall this dish was creamy and a lot of textures were involved, love the fried enoki btw!! Adds a good crunch to the pasta hehe. At first i thought that 4 strips of mushroom was like cheese or sth omg, then i was like "OH MUSHROOM….INTERESTING" This dish didn't exactly blow me away as much as the previous one did, perhaps I should've tried the chef recommended crab risotto instead? Anyways! Overall would be a 6/10, would love to give the other risotto a try the next time round. 

Tiramisu -- a la-minute composed; homemade sponge, mascarpone cream, tanariva chocolate mousse $10.90
A sweet-ending to all the dishes. No matter how full I am after the main course, there is always room for desserts, always. Anyone feel me hahaha. Okay I'm like a huge fan of tiramisu so this was gooooood, and unique! The mascarpone cream wasn't too overly sweet and like nauseating, the sponge soaked in coffee was good, putting everything together, one of each component on the little dessert spoon was delish!! A 9/10, this dessert appealed to me more than the others on the menu tbh haha. OH and btw, they're having a 1-for-1 student promotion for mains now!

CONCETTO BY SAVEUR

xxxxx

On to FATCAT cafe! This cafe was actually a pretty long walk (15mins) from the mrt but it was worth it bc burning off even the tiniest bit of calories before stuffing our faces with desserts makes me feel better :P Anyway, if you don't reside in the east or sth, please use google maps just in case haha.
They offer different desserts daily so there is actually no fixed menu!
Hot Chocolate $4
Hmm, how do I put it.. The drink was rich and lightly sweetened at the same time, which was just the way I liked my hot cocoa. *hearts emoji* So if you aren't a coffee person, try ordering this! Otherwise I think their coffee would be pretty amazing too (-:

Marshmallow Dessert -- Lime marshmallows with apple (??) crumble topped with lemon sherbet; pomelo infused foam and basil sauce $9 (I wrote this description according to what the staff told me so apologies if I got anything mixed up!!)
At first I found it to be a little pricey but after eating it, it's like TOTALLY worth it. Shared the portion with the buddy so the damage (to both wallet and body) wasn't all that bad HAHA. This is actually the first time I've tasted LEGIT marshmallow, not the ones you buy at your local grocery store; in packages that you use for BBQ. These are really the melty marshmallows that is realllllly addictive. (or at least to me) Was really surprised by the components and plating done. When I ordered it I honestly just expected to have 4 little marshmallows in a bowl or sth. Giving it a 9/10, must-try! 

Charcoal Waffles -- $6 (Ice cream $4.5/scoop)
Tried flavors like Hay & Honey and also Butter Beer before deciding on this two flavors. I found the butter beer really beer-ish (duh) though I've never had beer in my life. Bud says the beer one tasted surprisingly good to her but for me… hmm, not a beer person. The hay & honey, however, tasted really nice. I can't really describe it but it's just sweet and fragrant.
We opted for the Earl Grey Lavendar & Pistachio in the end anyway. The earl grey lavender smelled really good, but i guess it tasted mediocre. On the other hand, the pistachio one was amazing, really. I could taste like the nutty flavor and wasn't too sweet. My verdict? 8/10 - go try it! ^^

Watermelon Soju Sphere $4.5
I guess this cafe is quite famous for this sphere-ish looking dessert. I didn't try this tho but Joce did. She wanted the Mojito one more but they didn't have it that day omg :( But she told me this was pretty good too and the fillings just burst in the mouth. To me it really resembles an egg yolk, and believe it or not, I was so tempted to just use my fork to burst it :P 

FATCAT
