Hair
Hair styling tricks: With only 30 seconds to make myself look more made up. I tie my hair into a low pony-tail and invert it. They call it the inverted pony tail ( I think?). You’ll end up with a classy look in a fuss-free way
Hair colour: Leaning towards more neutral and natural hair shades recently. Mainly brown and dark hair tones. I loved Liese throughout my days at uni as it was a quick and fuss-free (again) way for me to get my hair evenly dyed. Now I head to Salon Vim for hair colouring

Hair treatments: Home treatments. I love the FRESH Seaberry Revitalizing Conditioner and FRESH Pomegranate conditioner (unavailable in Singapore unfortunately)

Lifestyle
Favourite vacation memory and why? Bhutan. To be at one of the happiest places in the world surrounded by nature, hills and mountains.
