Stupid Easy Chicken Burrito Bowl | Quick Low Carb Recipe | Healthy Eating

Stupid Easy Chicken Burrito Bowl | Quick Low Carb Recipe | Healthy Eating

hicken burrito bowl = my Mona Lisa. I love Mexican food. It’s so honest with its ingredients and packed with real food and flavor. I must’ve woken up on the right side of the bed today. I finally decided to make a chicken burrito bowl – something that I constantly order/pick up from restaurants. O.m.g it turned out better than I ever thought it would. Plus, totally made extra portions to see…

#HeckOfAHome: 20 Decor Ideas to Imbibe - Part 5

#HeckOfAHome: 20 Decor Ideas to Imbibe – Part 5

  Keeping upholstery neutral is great for someone who loves change. Are you listening, Obama?

Do not use heavy drapes in a small space, it’ll makes the room look smaller. Light curtains give a sense of more space and airiness. Go sheer.

Lamps and yellow light can warm up any space and give a beautiful glow

We love multi purposes furniture. Like a chest with storage instead of a regular centre…

#HeckOfAHome: 21 Decor Pointers to Ponder Over - Part 4

#HeckOfAHome: 21 Decor Pointers to Ponder Over – Part 4

Small space woes? Three key words: Open. Vertical. Move. Keep things open and stay away from dense and dark. Consider using a ladder-inspired shelving system or have room dividers that double up as shelves too.

Show off with style. Pick showpieces that are set in fall-resistant fibre, have the lustre of polished stone or ceramic for an instantly grand look.

Get of that couch and start building…

Journal: Stirred & Fried

Journal: Stirred & Fried

I most genuinely don’t see the point of cooking for hours and days just for the food to disappear in a matter of minutes. The impermanence of it all is scary to me and mighty unmotivating. It’s especially daunting now that I’m taking extra efforts to make our lives healthier and cleaner.

Having said that, if I’m not the one behind the stove, hell I’ll eat the most complex dish that took days, an…

Mix-a-lot: Where your EQ at?

Mix-a-lot: Where your EQ at?

These kinda technical music articles are one-offs. Reason? If you’ve read this post titled Content & Blog Ideas for Music Brands, you will know.

I also want to take a moment to thank my friends who make music for a living. As someone who doesn’t know much about the subject, I relied on them for help. They were kind enough to patiently explain EQ to me. Thank you Pruthu, Jarvis and Becky. And of…

Blog Post Ideas for Music Brands or Bloggers

Hello. It’s been a while. Well, trying to juggle everything with an inherent need to be the best has a tendency of eating into every microsecond of your life. But, the very many internal monologues I taught me one thing – I need to make myself happy. And blogging makes me happy so here I am.

I have a lot of content ideas stored everywhere. All I need is some time and some inclination. This one…

Review: Novotel Clarke Quay's Special Seafood Buffet

Review: Novotel Clarke Quay’s Special Seafood Buffet

I’d give up every kind of food, except seafood. I’ve been relishing all kinds of seafood ever since I can remember. My parents tell me I used to enjoy fried fish and prawns more than candy. And to tell you a secret…I still do! So you can imagine I was mighty excited when Novotel Clarke Quay in Singapore invited me to try out their special, limited period seafood buffet at The Square restaurant.…

New Launch: Nu Skin’s ageLOC LumiSpa Skin Cleanser

Singapore, March 15: I cannot do makeup. It’s not that I hate makeup, it’s just that I don’t know much about it. I admire people who can turn their face into a piece of art. But so far, I haven’t been able to do that. On most days, you’ll see me with black eyeliner (kajal) and a random lipstick. What I do like skincare. I like thinking about what I eat/drink because it affects my skin and using…

#CleanLiving: Organise your accessories with recycled objects

#CleanLiving: Organise your accessories with recycled objects

Have you realised how much trash you generate as just one person? I had never thought of trash or its consequences or the sheer size of it until very recently. In a bit to recycle and repurpose trash, I’ve been making small changes at home, hoping that someday it will all add up.

For starters, I’ve been collecting plastic boxes and glass bottles to repurpose them around the house. While…

One Minute DIY: Bottle Cap Fridge Magnets

One Minute DIY: Bottle Cap Fridge Magnets

I can’t begin to tell you how easy this DIY really is. So I love beer/cider bottle caps. I usually collect a few, admire them for a while and trash them. Mainly because I didn’t know what to do with them. Lately, I’ve been trying to be conscious of the trash we create in our home and have been actively seeking ways to recycle and repurpose things.

The other day while reorganising my accessories…

Singapore Expat: Most essential apps to download when you reach the country

Moving to a new city can be fun, exciting and daunting in equal parts. But it helps to know that technology has your back. When we moved here late 2017, we relied heavily on apps and websites to make ourselves feel at home.

If you’ve just moved to Singapore or are just passing through, I guarantee this list right here is gonna be a lifesaver. My husband and I use all these apps on a regular…

Tough day at work? Fight that urge to flip your desk and head to the nearest green patch for some fresh air and fresher perspective.

If you’re working in and around CBD, hang on to this list of nearby secret parks and patches to get your zen on.

Recipe: Super Garlicy Oatmeal with Spinach

Every since 2017, my life has been a series of firsts. Well, for lunch today I made my first savoury oatmeal recipe and damn it was good.

I’ve always been oddly reluctant to try oats mainly because as a lactose intolerant human I cannot stand the idea of packaged sweet oats with milk powder. Gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Now I’ve had a big fat packet of plain, no flavour instant oats sitting in…

DIY art to gift your Potterhead bae

I started something new recently. For every birthday, anniversary and random celebratory day, I’ll DIY a gift for close family and friends.

No doubt, it shall be supplemented with a practical and useable store-bought gift. But I love the idea of spending the time to creating something with my hands for people who mean something to me.

And with Valentine’s day around the corner, I thought I’ll…

And we were there to witness it all!
