My Stretch Marks Journey with The Clifford Clinic

A common and annoying side effect of motherhood leftover from pregnancy are stretch marks. My tummy was stretched so much during pregnancy that I started seeing stretch marks from as early as 28 weeks. My skin has always been on the thinner and dry side, and I was so affected that at the end of my pregnancy, the skin below my belly button was filled with thick, dark lines of stretch marks.

Thankfully, Dr Gerard Ee from The Clifford Clinic managed to help me get back my clear skin with their stretch marks removal treatments that I can be confident in! Read on to see how!

We Are Expecting!

Hello there! It's been a pretty long while, I know. Life has been hectic and with the COVID-19 pandemic, not easy. Please find me on Instagram where I update a lot more frequently!

Anyway, today I'm here to share a special announcement! After 3.5 years of marriage, we finally conceived! To be honest I don't think we are completely ready for our lives to change forever and to uphold such a big responsibility, but then again, I don't think anyone is ever super ready to be a parent? Hahaha.

Why Traditional Eye Masks Aren’t All That They Claim to Be

If you think traditional eye masks are good, wait till you try this All New Eye Mask hitting the market that gives you 100% complete relaxation and rejuvenation for your eyes, all natural and suitable for people of all ages and even those with sensitive skin!

Traditional eye masks are often placed under your eyes to aid restoration. However most people still use their phones/electronic gadgets while waiting for the mask to take effect, which defeats the purpose of fully resting the eyes.

I always believe in skin first, makeup second. With good skin, your makeup can go on so much better right? I'm a huge skincare fan so when I chanced upon MEDI-ESTHE, I was excited to try their skincare products, and happy to share that they didn't disappoint!

I really love 2 of their star products - their Pure Hyaluronic Serum as well as their Aqua UV Day Cream which is tinted and provides sheer coverage! Read on to check out the texture and my review of Medi-Esthe products, and see how you can redeem free samples.

Fixing Your Smile with Zenyum

A smile is a curve that sets everything straight, and I believe that a smile is something that people look out for first in a person's face. Here's where Zenyum can help! A greeting, a laughter, everything a smile portrays is so welcoming! Thus, having a confident smile is important and can help with people's self-confidence too. Furthermore, my husband Ken and I are both salespeople and thus a confident smile is even more important.

As you can see, it's pretty obvious that Ken has a gap between his front teeth and he rarely smiles with teeth because he feels insecure about it. This is a problem he has been facing for many many years and it's time we did something about it!

Beijing 101 - The Most Effective Haircare

Since 1974, Beijing 101 has been dedicated to treating common hair issues such as scalp concerns, hair loss, oily scalp, greying hair, premature or excessive white hair and various patterns of hair loss, in more than 60 countries worldwide. With my busy lifestyle as a salesperson, I often work past midnight and well into my weekends - this stress and late nights cause my scalp to age faster, and in turn, causes hair fall problems.

Thus when I had the chance to review Beijing 101 services, I immediately said yes because I need to see for myself if they can help solve my oily & clogged scalp issues. Check out my before and after photos below, so glad that my hair pores are rid of toxins and are open to absorb nutrients to grow stronger strands of hair after my treatment at Beijing 101!
