Nails Did: A Gelish Good Time!

Over the weekend, my girlfriend Aishah and I had some girlie time together and what better way to spend it than to pamper ourselves with a manicure! Not just any manicure, a Gelish one!!

I've always been a great fan of gel overlay nails though i've never done them before because of how every nail therapist i go to always tell me i have very good nail beds and i shouldn't spoil them by having gel overlays. (They sort of file your nail's surface down to make it thinner or something like that i believe) You would think they'd try and sell it to me so their shop would make more $$ but i'm glad that they're honest with me. :)

So basically, Gelish applies on the nail the same way any other polish is applied, WITHOUT FILING ON THE NAIL SURFACE. It is then cured under a UV light. After its cured, its done. No need to wait for it to dry like normal polish. Yes, you read that right, it is done, finished, ready to go after its cured! You have to remove it by soaking it off with acetone. So you can even paint over your gelish manicure and use a normal mail polish remover and your pretty gelish nails underneath would not be harmed! :D It's so AMAZING! Oh and they last a good 3 weeks!!

Here's our beautiful nails! Aishah did a more simple french tip as she can't go crazy on her nail designs due to her line of work.

I went more loud, well, because i'm a stay home mum! I wanted to have a clear top so that at least when my nails grow out, it would not be as obvious. What's so great about Gelish is that they remain nice and shiny through out, they don't chip off like normal polish does. I've been doing laundry, dishes, scrubbing the toilet etc and my nails still look as perfect as they did when i first got them done. Now isn't that amazing or what?!

Our lovely nails were done by LadeeKim. She does nails only over the weekends at her house. She's also having a promotion where you can get your Gelish manicure done for just $30!

    Pretty nails! I wish I'm the sort who can commit to a single color for weeks, so I can try out Gelish =)

A baby brewing, again?!

I can't thank the people who have followed my blog from the get-go for all your words of encouragement and love. Thank you for pushing me to write again. It warms my heart to hear when my readers tell me they enjoyed reading my journey and somehow felt like they were right there with me too. Big love to you all.  Here i am sitting down and staring at the screen. I feel rusty. I haven't done this in a while. My last post was, well ages ago! But - hello! Seeing as i set up this baby blog of mine some 6 years ago, i felt it is only right that i continue writing in it seeing as, as most of you would know by now, i am baking baby number 2 in the oven! I'm in the last leg of my pregnancy now. I'd call it the 'uncomfortable' stage.  Where you feel like a whale,  your legs are sore,  your body's aching and the baby is kicking like there's no tomorrow.  But,  kicking is good.  Kick away baby,  so momma knows you're growing well.  So let's ...

New Paper New Face 2011

Hey! Today, i bring you news about this year's New Face competition! :) For those of you who don't live here in Singapore, the New Face competition is one of the biggest modeling competitions held here. It had unearthed beauties from all walks of life and many of whom has made quite a name for themselves in the industry. It has helped so many girls shine and achieve their goals, and i am glad to say, i made it to Top 20 last year and have graduated to the very prestigious alumni of New Face girls. :) Every year since i joined the modeling industry, i entered a competition, to better myself and gain confidence. I remember i started off with Singtel Grid Girls back in 2008 and not having much confidence at all. But the New Face competition was something i had wanted to join since the age of 15. It took me another 2 years, to build up that confidence to go to the walk-in auditions and i am glad i did. (Spot me if you can!) It has been such an amazing experience for me, i learned s...

Baby Recipe: Chicken & Carrot Porridge [Plus Storage Solutions]

This is probably one of Kiara's favourite dishes and i believe many asian kids too! It's easy peasy to make and tastes delish! What you'll need: Minced Chicken Diced Carrots Rice (Brown Rice if you want the healthier choice) Bovril (optional) Garlic (optional) Chicken Stock (optional)   For all the items that i stated as optional, it's really up to you which you would prefer. Some would rather skip bovril & garlic and just use chicken stock, where as some would do the opposite. So that part is really up to you how you would like your baby's food to be. I personally have used all 3 methods and Kiara likes them all the same. Step 1 : Add rice and carrots into a pot of boiling water (or boiling chicken stock). You can add  finely chopped garlic if you would prefer to add more flavour to the dish. I let this simmer in for about 15/20 minutes till the carrots are relatively softer. Plus rice takes a while to cook too! Once done, add in your minced chicken which cooks...
