Growing up, my mom was a natural beauty who doesn’t need makeup to look good. I mean, she don’t put makeup at all, even to a wedding dinner. But age is really catching up and as much as we’ll like to blame it on gravity, her skin has been sagging quite a bit and it’s showing.

God answered our prayers because my mom was given this chance to look 10 years younger with Dr Gerard Ee from The Clifford Aesthetics.

https://drgerardee.com/

Dr Gerard Ee is a member of the Royal College of Surgeons (Edinburgh) and has a special interest in minimally invasive surgery. His expertise in this field made together with so the many positive reviews and his impeccable experience made it our greatest honor to work with him.

Getting numbing cream applied before we inject some anaesthetic inside.

Measurements are a must because we definitely do not want an uneven face after the procedure.

One of the most commonly asked question would be:
“DOES IT HURT?!”

Based on my mom’s reviews, the most “painful” part would be getting the anaesthetic injections, not even the procedure itself. But she rated the pain 3/10, slightly more than an ant bite.

Let the threadlift begin

Some background on what Threadlift is – “it is the insertion of a dissolvable thread that focuses on tightening the surrounding tissues in your face and increase blood supply which in turn can lead to healthier, firmer skin. I would consider it a mildly invasive aesthetic procedure.”

Despite the numbing cream and anaesthetic jabs, my mom was still able to feel Dr Gerard Ee pulling the threads in her face however, there wasn’t any pain at all.

Because my mom’s laughline was really deep, threadlift was not enough, thus Dr Gerard Ee suggested pumping in a little bit of filler to fill the line.

What is filler?

“Injectable filler is a soft tissue filler injected into the skin to help fill in facial wrinkles, restoring a smoother appearance. Most of these wrinkle fillers are temporary because they are eventually absorbed by the body. Some people may need more than one injection to achieve the wrinkle-smoothing effect.”

Messaging the filler into her face to ensure that it spreads out evenly.

Getting some into her undereye area as well.

The whole process only took 15 minutes, however if you are thinking of getting it done during lunch time, since The Clifford Aesthetics is located at the heart of CBD, making it extremely convenient to head down for a quick pick me up, do factor in an additional 40 minutes for the numbing cream to set in.

For the final reveal

Before

After

The difference was so huge that until today, my mom is still in disbelief that she was given this opportunity. Hahaha so cute right.

Personally, if you’re someone whose skeptical about getting minor aesthetic enhancement because you label it as being “fake” or “unnatural”, trust me, my mindset was similar to yours too. But over the years, I’ve learnt that being born in an era where we’re given a second, third, fourth etc chance to reborn and look younger, we should really count our blessings.

Back then, if you told Audrey Hepburn that she can maintain her looks even at 55 years old, she would tell you to stop lying. hahaha

Then, it dawned on me that I should really cherish this luxury and not be so opinionated against Aesthetic procedures, thus I did my double eyelids 2 years ago too.

Nonetheless, if you’re thinking of getting a face lift whether is it for yourself, your mom or your dad, I’ll definitely recommend The Clifford Aesthetics, https://cliffordclinic.com/face/silhouette/ 

There’s a price to pay for everything and if it’s a price that can boost your confidence and self esteem, I believe it’s definitely something worth spending on.

We don’t get to live life twice, why not live it beautifully.

How I spent my thursday night last week, I was invited to the launch of OSIM’S uLove 2 (4手天王). I love getting massages & I always exploit my cousin’s Osim when I go over, so I was really excited to try their new massage chair.

Glad to have these pretty girls accompaying me, @joannaspy & @maybelinesim

We were invited into a room to enjoy a personal 30 minutes massage on the OSIM uLove 2 (4手天王). What I really needed after a long day at work.

With the uLove 2(4手天王)’s patented V-Hand Massage and 720-degree roller balls, it mirrors a masseuse’s hand grip, offering us users a personal touch! The 720 degree roller balls rotate in 360 degree in both direction, ensuring every inch of our body is fully massaged.

The new OSIM uLove 2 (4手天王) comprises of a 4 hand massage technology that features 4 powerful massage rollers that work synchronously to massage your upper and lower body concurrently. I’ve been on so many massage chairs & none of them felt as realistic as this!

Nothing completes a good massage like a nice calming background music, OSIM uLove 2 (4手天王)’s comprises of 3D surround sound (found in movies) & a wireless Bluetooth music playback strategically placed near your ear to soothe your eardrums and calm your soul.

To enjoy a hands-free navigation during  your massage, download the OSIM uLove 2 (4手天王) app and connect it to your mobile phone via Bluetooth.

The latest OSIM uLove 2 (4手天王) is available at all OSIM outlets, OSIM roadshows and OSIM’s website.

Thank you OSIM for the wonderful event! It was my first time attending their event and I had a great time!

I highly recommend everyone reading this to go down to any of their outlets to try the new massage chair & get a feel of how luxurious it can be. The price might be a little steep but try it out first before passing a verdict. 😉

Hope you guys enjoyed reading

In all honesty, I had zero intention to do up this blogpost BUT ever since I insta-storied me purchasing this pair of glasses for only RM95, I received 60 over DMs asking me what’s the name of the shop etc. I know I’ll constantly have people asking me so I decided to do up this blogpost
so that you guys have something permanent to refer to.

I just did my relax smile procedure, so some of you would be wondering why am i still making specs? I mean after spending a whooping $6xxx (damn heart pain fml) on my corrective eye procedure, I became super
protective over my eyes.

I wanted to make a pair of zero degree spectacles with blue light lens to protect my eyes from blue light which can be found in all IT devices that we use every single day like laptop, phone etc.

I came across this shop (YM2) that was beside Yong Ming Optometry which you guys recommended too.

Being someone whose addicted to finding cheap deals, I opted for this RM95 range. Yes, RM95 includes your prescriptive spectacle lenses as well.

Choosing a nice design for my brother. He didn’t go down personally but I brought his old spectacles along and that suffice because they can extract his degree from the old spectacle lenses.

 By adding blue light lense, I had to pay an additional RM80 which is considered SUPER CHEAP because most of the other optical shops are charging additional RM150 & above. While, Singapore’s optical shops are charging additional SGD$100 or more. So I found a very good deal despite the limited range of designs.

My brother looking suave (omg i cringe when i type that word cause he’s so fat) in his new glasses.

After adding blue lenses for both spectacle and getting RM5 off cause I bargained ^.^, I paid RM350 for both specs aka RM170/specs
& that’s only SGD$56.40! 

DAAAAAMMNN BLOOODDDYY CHEAP WTF cause I consulted 4 optical shops with the similar spectacle design + blue lense in Singapore & they all quoted me $180 and above.

I got it done in this optical shop, YM2. It’s actually a subsidiary of Yong Ming Optometry & a couple of y’all recommended Yong Ming so i guess they’re really reputable among Singaporeans too.

Waiting time is around 1.5 hours, chop chop chicken chop! Hahaha Just go & grab lunch plus get a body massage & before you know it, you can collect your glasses already.

The other shops that were recommended to me:
(all pictures courtesy of google)

Dr Specs: They were charging additional RM 180 for blue light lenses on top of the stated price. However if you don’t wanna add blue light lenses, their spectacles with normal lenses are really affordable ranging from RM50 & above. Most of the nicer frames are only RM 105.

Mog Optical: They specialise in branded spectacles which was not what I was looking for.

OOPPA : Similar concept to Owndays but they were charging additional RM250 for blue light lenses on top of the stated price, super expensive pls.

I didn’t purchase from any of these shops cause I felt that they were too costly after adding blue light lenses.

—

Hope this blogpost helped you guys especially those wanna save cost but need to get a pair of new glasses. Please opt for blue light lenses despite how costly it may be because it really really helps to protect your retina. God only gave you one pair of eyes, so please take good care of it.

My motto is: Never try never know
So please ask for discount when you make your glasses
Don’t say sister never give you tips HAHAHAH

A little goes a long way, honey x

Love,
@Emmtann

 

PS: This is in NO WAY a sponsored content cause I paid for all the spectacles & fucking queued 2 hours at custom just to enter JB to make my spectacles. Sister is just doing up this blogpost due to the overwhelming DMs i received & cause I wanna help another fella out to save that $100+. 

At the end of the day, the people who judge you aren’t gonna be the ones taking care of you when you grow old and frail. Sometimes, you have to make sacrifices to make way for greater things in life.

T’was an extremely enjoyable sunday brunch.

Being a lifestyle blogger, I’m honestly more inclined to fashion and beauty rather than food. However, I decided to make a trip down to Soi Thai Soi Nice after seeing so many of my friends rave about it. Gram eats first always

This fried pork belly was SOOOOOO good, we ordered 2 plates of it. Really reminded of the fried chicken outside of Onyx in Bangkok. 

Their signature dish, Tom Yum steamboat. The soup was so rich and flavourful. 

Being someone who visits bangkok every single year, Soi Thai Soi Nice really aced my tastebuds. Let a sister help you out if you’re thinking of visiting during the weekends – try avoiding their Seletar mall outlet because it’s always fully booked. I visited the Alexandra Central outlet and the waiting time wasn’t as long and that’s a bonus cause I hate waiting for food. 

Soi Thai Soi Nice (Seletar Mall)

Thank you PR People for the invitation x

I’d like to blame it on my horoscope for sculpting me into someone so emotional, too emotional to be exact. But really, there’s no one who can save me from my own self wallowing despair other than myself/ yourself.

If you follow me on my dayre.me/emmtann, you would know that I always post emo quotes there & surprisngly, a lot of girls actually relate to them. I always get requests to share my secret stash of emo quotes so that they too, can tide through tough times by seeking comfort in these quotes.

That has never crossed my mind but these few weeks, I’ve seen an increased in requests through my DMs. There are a lot more accounts but let’s take it slow – Here’s 10 of my secret stash of emo quotes accounts which I follow on my personal account. Like all millennial, please tell me I’m still one *shows puppy eye*, we all have a main account & personal account. hahahaha

@brokensouls.xx

Well, honey. That’s right, it’s been 138 days for me.

I’m not so freaky to count nor do i encourage you to count but since I wanna be more relatable, might as well spend an extra 5 minutes to count how many days has it been for me. hahaha

@sadquotepage

I know that you are going through some form of heartbreak, but trust me my little one, you are never alone. Because someone out there is going through the exact same thing or worst.

@guywithfeelings

We’re all lost in this world, just different kind of lost.

@unsaidphrases

Ask yourself this: If you can’t change a bad habit, what makes it easier for the other party to change for the better?

@trashedsociety

i trusted you

@6.17am

How do people do this? Remain friends with their exes & watch them move on?

@myperfectposts

If it hurts, it means the love was real.

@quotedthought

There are quotes that come in the form of short stories.

@nikita_gill 

She’s a really good writer.

@poets

One day you’ll be the blessing that someone has been praying for.

Something nice to end off the 10 emo quotes accounts introduction.

Something which I’ve learnt would be, maintaining a good relationship with your other half or anyone is the toughest thing in this world. Because we can never fully empathise how the other party feels especially when their actions directly or indirectly affect you. Every single day, I am learning how to cope this and as cliché as it sounds, it all begins with you.

How badly do you want to change for the better? For yourself, not anybody else. 

New doggy goodies from KohepetsKohepets is an online store which carries many different kind of dog products from food, to toys, grooming tools. Perfect for busy working adults like myself.

From left to right: Wellness CORE Chunky Centers Wet Dog Food, Reliq Mineral Spa Pomegranate Shampoo For Dogs and Zignature Canned Dog Food

Despite it being an online store, to provide the best service to you guys, they even offer free samples so your furkids can try some of their products first before you decide to purchase.

I highly recommend this Reliq shampoo because not only does it smell very good & the smell is long lasting. It is made from nano-enhanced volcanic minerals and contains no enzymes, alcohol & parabens.

When you spend more than $60, you’ll get free delivery and your items will be delivered within 2 days. Super efficient.

From left to right: PLAY American Classic Milkshake Dog Plush Toy and ZippyPaws Valentine’s Burrow Heart N’ Bears Dog Toy

Always beyond thankful that there’re brands who love daisy as much as I love Daisy. Kohepets actually sent me a big box of doggy goodies for her but She gobbled everything down & destroyed the other toys too fast, I didn’t manage to capture a picture of them.

Do check them out and if it’s your first time purchasing. You’ll receive $8 voucher!

A month ago, I visited Dr Martin Huang at MH Plastic Surgery to try the Cool Sculpt technology. As you can tell, I’m on a pursuit of trying various fat freezing technology to see which one works the best for me so I have been trying to search for a clinic which can help me achieve my desired results

I have heard so much about coolsculpting so I have decided to give it a try with Dr Martin Huang.

What is Cool Sculpting?

Cool Sculpt is a non-surgical fat reduction treatment that uses controlled cooling to eliminate stubborn fat that resists all efforts through diet and exercise.

How does it work?

The cool sculpt procedure safely delivers precisely controlled cooling to gently and effectively target the fat cells underneath the skin. Treated fat cells are crystallised (frozen), then die. Over time, your body processes the fats and eliminates all these dead skin cells.

The applicator comes in different sizes for different parts of our body.

The clinic is located in Paragon which makes their clinic accessible for all their patients – especially so for me because I do not have to travel out of town to meet my clients. I even slotted my coolsculpting in between my appointments.

 

They’ll strap the cool sculpt device on the area where you want to freeze your fats. It leaves a tingling suction but its bearable.

The whole process only took 35 minutes per area. My stomach was split into left section and right section so my whole cool sculpt process took 1.5 hours with massages in between.

 My stomach felt extremely sore after the treatment & it became quite painful after the device was removed from my body. In comparison to the previous treatment I did, this was more painful. It felt like someone punched my stomach & there was a longer down time of up to 2 weeks. But they say – no pain no gain. So I am feeling pretty hopeful about this.

I’ve already seen an improvement in my belly so far. But I’ll wait for further progress to show you guys the difference in my next blogpost so stay tuned!

2 weeks ago, I went down to Centre For Cosmetic to try out their 3 Max Cool Shaping, Fat Freeze procedure, Ultra Cavitation and Multipolar Radio Frequency with LED. I’ve been struggling with stubborn fats on my belly, arm and double chin since secondary school but it has gotten worst in recent years because I love my alcohol too much. Oops!

Preparing to do the Multi Polar Radio Frequency on my double chin.

Multi Polar Radio Frequency delivers a thermal radio frequency thermal energy to tighten the skin and break down stubborn fats.

You can actually see yourself on the screen, it would detect the hottest part of your face. If you can see, my chin is the hottest because it’s in red. 

After 20 minutes – It heats up to 42 degree and it can be pretty uncomfortable. I rate it a 7/10 discomfort level. It’s NOT painful, just a stinging burning sensation. 

Next up we have the Cryo Sculptor on my belly. It’s a non invasive cryo cooling method to reduce fat cells and break down fats with the vacuum and LED Function. 

 

There was zero pain but slight discomfort because your whole stomach is being sucked in. Here’s my belly being freezed at –4 degrees. hahaha

Other than belly, my arms were my concern too. I did both my Cool Sculpt (for my belly) and Ultra Cavitation (for my arms) concurrently to save time.

Here’s my result after 2 weeks, my belly fats went from 7.2KG to 6.5kg. However, cool shapingt’s results are not immediate and the doctor mentioned that I will only see the real results after 1-2 months and during the meantime, I should spam more water. 

After Cool Sculpt, doctor did Ultra Cavitation on me to further break down the fats and enhance deep fat treatment effect. During the process, this machine made some weird “dolphin mating” sound but rest assured, the doctor said that it’s normal. Hahaha

 

Here’s my belly after the treatment! I’ll keep you guys posted on the 1-2 months progress. 

I did both Ultra Cavitation and Multi Polar Radio Frequency for my arms. Each session takes around 30 minutes, so remember to set aside sufficient time for your whole session. It’s advisable for me to do it twice a week to keep the breaking down of fats routine consistent. 

Ultra Cavitation

Multi Polar Radio Frequency 

If you’re someone whose facing stubborn fats issue, you can call in to book a consultation with them to see if you’re suitable for this treatment.

PS, Stay tune to the video which I hosted for them that’ll be coming up on MFP.

Here’s the address of the clinic: 

Centre for Cosmetic Rejuvenation & Surgery
1 Scotts Rd, 03-03, Singapore 228208 

Hope this post helps you guys!

Thank you x
