    Nordgreen Philosopher watch review based on 2 months’ wear and plenty of hand wash

    February 2, 2021 /

    As usual, I am sharing pre-purchase decision making process, delivery experience and product commentary. This review is based on 2 months’ wear. Before we go into all the details, please be aware that I have tiny, flat wrist (13cm circumference) and that watch is an essential item to me. I have been wearing one since I was a kid. It feels naked to be without one. May sound a bit strange, but I strongly prefer non-smart analogue watch. Smart watches are not for me.

    My skincare reviews always take forever to prepare, because I want to have finished at least half if not the whole product. Is that too much to ask? Anyways, here’s my thought on the Good Molecules clarify & cleanse bar.

    Where to go snorkeling in Guadeloupe?

    February 4, 2020 /

    Here is my take on the “best snorkel spots in Guadeloupe” based on my 4 trips to Guadeloupe. All the spots have been tested by me; each beach was given a minimum 30min snorkel 😉 None of my underwater photo can do it justice though. I suck at underwater photography. A flagged google map is included in the post. My pick of the top and worst snorkeling locations in Guadeloupe are…

    Look fresh… even after a long haul flight

    January 29, 2020 /

    This is what I use when I want to look fresh no matter how long the flight is or no sleep for the day. When I was in my 20’s, I have always admired my 40+ boss for her ALWAYS radiance look, no matter what hell back-to-back travel she went through. Eventually, I realised that her secret was actually very simple and very few products were involved. Essentially, there are only 8 products (skincare + makeup)!
