The Perfect x Imperfection: December 2016

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!

I hope everyone is having a great day!

Today I just wanted to share with you guys the recent event I went to at Sophisca!

Sophisca is Taiwan's first specialty candy brand that start in 1997.

Their candies like bonbons, chocolates, and fruit candies has been loved by everyone in Taiwan and became known as the top confectionery retailer AKA "A Sweet Place for Sweethearts".

Not to mention their quirky packaging makes them a great gift for any occasion!

Sophisca’s products are designed and manufactured in the brand’s very own factories located

in Nantou, Taiwan and are ISO 2002 and HACCAP certified so quality and satisfaction are

Japanese), “personable”, “high quality”, “international presence”, “care” and “artlessness”,

referring to the unbridled creativity of the team behind the brand.

xoxo,

It's been a while since I've done a Wellness Wednesday!

Christmas is literally around the corner and there's so much food temptation EVERYWHERE!!!

Not to mention, next month is CNY!

Here's a great solution from Expressions to prepare your body for the holiday season!

The pioneer in the industry and introduced the concept of "Total Wellness".

Expressions Singapore believes that looking and feeling good is a result from being healthy and fit.

Expressions provides only the best products, programs, and services to their customers.

Their philosophy embraces a holistic and natural approach to achieve a better inner and outer well-being.

BioOrigine Tea is important and manufactured from France (which explains all the French words on the packaging). Sometimes you might think that you've gain weight when your tummy says, HELLOOO! but it could actually be from bloatedness. There's a lot of options to get rid of bloatedness but this BioOrigine Tea is definitely a great option!

This tea helps to...

1. Boost metabolism

2. Reduce appetite

3. Detox

4. Weight Loss

Why choose BioOrigine Tea? Simple!

1. 100% Organic Ingredients

2. You can see the results!

3. Great taste

4. Super simple program - just drink tea twice a day!

DIRECTIONS TO USE

Super simple! Drink the JOUR tea in the morning and the NUIT tea at night.

Leave the tea bag to simmer for 3 minutes. If you prefer a stronger taste, you can let it simmer for a little bit longer.

Simple right? There's no restrictions or tight schedule whatsoever!

Day Tea Pack - JOUR

The key ingredients in this tea is a special formula of verbenba, mint, and sweet orange. This formula helps to maximize the flat belly effect by helping to reduce water retention and boost your metabolism. Mint leaves helps to keep you feel refreshed throughout the day and to improve/boost energy and concentration. This is definitely a great replacement to your morning coffee!

Night Tea Pack - NUIT

One of the key ingredients is green tea leaves. This helps to burn and eliminate the fats and toxins in your body that you have accumulated over the day. You might think that green tea includes caffeine so it keeps you up, but this one didn't! I was able to fall asleep after sipping it all up.

This simple tea using all organic ingredients is really great. There's a lot of other brands that cause diarrhea and stomach aches, but this one didn't at all! You only have one body so you need to treat it with TLC~! I'm a caffeine addict so the morning tea helped to replace my morning coffee and I didn't feel AS hungry by lunch time. You can't expect this product to be a miracle worker. You need to also have a well-balanced diet and exercise if you want to see results. This tea will aid you in that process to achieve your ideal self!

This might be random, but I also love how the tea bags are individually packaged and they don't use staples! Such a smart way to pack the tea bags!

The BioOrigine Tea is available at Expressions for S$16.90!

Enter the promo code 'Cheers17' to get a 10% discount!

You can purchase it either online or at the Expressions branches!

Recently I got to celebrate the festive season at Raffles City with CRAFTHOLIC!

From November 18 - December 27, everyone can enjoy all kinds of activities suitable for everyone of all ages!

Love the artwork at the entrance!

Let me just share with you about CRAFTHOLIC and the creator, Ms Ikuko Yamamoto!

Ms Ikuko Yamamoto, started her interest in designing since her college days as she was always doodling on her notes. After graduating from the prestigious Bunka Fashion College in 2015 (Major in Stylist Course), she joined ACCENT Corporation which is a Tokyo-based interior goods and lifestyle company. In 2008, CRAFTHOLIC was created!

There are currently 42 CRAFTHOLIC outlets in Japan, as well as in countries, such as Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Czech Republic and Paris. The brand has sold over 410,000 pieces of products, as of October 2016.

Her motto in life is "Be genuine to yourself; be honest to everyone; and enjoy life".

2008 is such a special year for Tammy and myself because that was the year we graduated High School!
