Bib necklace

Bib necklaces has become current season’s costume accessory. It is a necklace characterized by a central thread to form a ‘bib’ at the front. The main characteristic of this necklace is its size n the distinctive bib-like coverage of the neck, which gives it its name. The larger-than life appearance of this jewelry makes it ideal to make a fashion statement without spending too much money on the look like wearing it over a plain top(changing the image).

Bib Necklaces are usually dressy and the neckline must be plain and flat to not distract from the main focus. These necklaces are in a variety of designs, ranging from pretty floral to bold chunky to delicate lacework. You can buy them in beads, stones, fabric, feathers and lace, in all sorts of colors. Just put on a funky, bold ‘Bib’ made of Rinestones and stand out in the crowd without seeming gaudy /flashy. For a fancy evening party, try a Pearl ‘Bib’ with your little black dress and show the elegance that such a party demands or ribboned flowers! Trying to look funky? Wear one made of off-beat materials, like buttons or safety pins or even paper, over a plain T-shirt!

In fact, u can have a Bib Necklace by diy with your choice of material and design, to an expensive one made of gold or silver with precious stones. The sheer choice you have is amazing. You can get one in any price you want! I had been looking around(like diva's) for eye-catching piece but nothing turn out to catch my eye fancy, maybe i shld go on diy myself. hehhahhaah

Cafebiz: Buffet

Weekend dinner buffet from Mon to Wed is $45++, while dinner from Thursday onwards to Sunday is $50++ per head. We were too full to try all the food; we missed out on the Indian food, and the roasted duck selections. Eating a little of everything was almost enough to fill up the tiny stomach of ours. Plenty of tea and a long chat after the meal aided in the digestion too! Cold seafood counter. There were prawns, there were crabs, and there were mussels & scallops. I tried the ice chilled oyster, squeezed a whole wedge of lemon onto it, careful not to spill any; every drop of lemon was precious, to fully bring out the quintessence of it. I pitched it up with a fork, and slowly put it into my mouth, one swallow, one gulp, and it was gone. Salad with variety of dressing available; thousand island, Italian dressing, and also the adventurous yoghurt one etc. Roasted meat selections, Indian food, Western & Asian mains to choose from too. one of nonyang dish; the process of ‘playing’ with the Kueh pie tee; the shell fill with the typical popiah turnip fillings, sprinkled a bit of the crushed peanuts, drizzled the sweet sauce, beautify it with parsley, and had options of tuna, chicken, and prawns to top with. Boy, it was good! The crispy shell, with the turnip fillings, but it was the sweet sauce and peanut which provided the difference. Desserts section; Cakes, dessert shooters like a lighthouse beaconing the direction. And not lest, the-sight-of-it again: the omnipresent chocolate fondue, my heart just flew over with hugs and kisses. There is a cake looked like pandan cake had a flavourful pistachio taste! Unique!! Truffle berry compote cake for its smooth and silky chocolate, with composition of berries within. There’s a chef specially preparing waffles and crepes on-the-spot. The waffles were excellent, but they used the same mixture for the crepes, which turned out to be overly thick. And the staffs actually delivered the waffles to our tables when we forgot to collect it. ***This post is taken from Ladyironchef blog.***

Marina Bay Sands - here i come

http://www.marinabaysands.com/
We went on Saturday noon, the veri first opening weekend. We went by MRT , exit from marina bay station walk for 10 mins,damn hot n sweaty by the time we reached. Its way too crowded. most shops(all branded stuffs like the ion orchard) didnt opened til jun 23 this yr. since the boss is the owner of the Venetian n the Palazzo in Las Vegas, the concept of building is pretty much similar with the river. i guess must be for the boats to row. on top of it, it boast abt the gravity-defying Sands SkyPark(will be open much later. man, im disappointed when i heard there will a fee entrance). Perched atop the hotel, 200 meters above the city, this architectural masterpiece features exclusive restaurants & lounges, three 50-meter infinity pools, an observation deck, landscaped gardens and an unrivaled 360° view of the Singapore skyline.
i notice there is a show called the lion king, make me wonder if its the same as Vegas. Personally, i like the artistic design building of their museum, which looks like a bowl from far away(interesting). hehahhaah, the entrance to the casino look like a immigration hall. alot of ppl just standby, blocking the way cos they dun wanna to pay the levy fee.
we walk on the infamous hex bridge which link marina bay to marina sq.
After the whole tour, we went to nearby marine sq for shopping n meals n movies, Yaa!!! If u ask me which casino i will go in spore, i definately choose Marina Sands(its way grander than the Resort World in Sentosa, which is under Genting. n y shld i pay the additional entrance fee for the sentosa when i could just go a casino in town area). Note; Singaporean need to pay a levy of $100 for a 24hrs entrance.

Earth day (apr 22 10) - think of recycling

make beautiful flower pots out of used tins n bottles,
make organizer folder/ makeup kit container out of cereal box(wrapped in nice decro paper/ cloth),
make stool cover out of recycle materials,
make a bag out of old t-shirt,
make a candle out of the old teacups,
make decro door/ knob out of recycle fabric
make a poster out of leftover decro paper/ ribbons or even cutlery,
make a soap dish out of a seashell,
make a mirror out of antique platter / plate(i lve this most)

how to do a decro mirror piece
If an antique platter or plate is scratched, cracked/ broken, its patterned border can be used as the decorative frame for a mirror. If the platter or plate is split into several pieces, glue them together and allow them to dry. A round plate, you may find a circular mirror. If the platter is an unusual size or shape, have a professional glass cutter use your template to custom-cut a mirror. Request a polished edge, which is safer to handle.
For braided trim around the glass, attach pillow piping. To attach the mirror glass to the platter permanently, use ceramic epoxy. Apply epoxy to the back of the mirror in a big X from side to side and in a thin line just within the perimeter. Press the mirror onto the platter. The epoxy must be dry before you hang the finished mirror. If you'd like to be able to remove the mirror in the future, use mounting tape instead of glue. u can mount the framed mirror on the wall using a plate hanger of the appropriate size or ribbons.

Vitacreme B12

Vitacreme B12 Review

Texture: Very sheer light cream, not oily at all, feels like those medical creams from the doctors.
Fragrance: There is a light floral scent, pleasant.
VITACREME B12 is the first cosmetic cream containing Vitamin B12, an essential component for healthy skin. With deep penetrating capability, VITACREME B12 helps regenerate, nourish and moisturize your skin.

Benefits of VITACREME B12
* Stimulates renewal of skin cells

* Revitalizes and diminishes age lines and existing wrinkles
* Helps to prevent premature wrinkles
* Repairs and rebalances the skin's natural defense system

* Can be used as a day cream and/or cosmetic base

Apply a pearl-sized portion of VITACREME B12 using this massage technique. This will accelerate its actions, with results being seen and felt within 2 weeks.


It gave me a light numbing sensation, which I think B12 is trying to relax my natural stress lines or tension areas. A lot of times we frown even with out noticing, it has became a natural facial expression, as time goes by fine lines and wrinkles are much more easier to appear on those places that we put tension on. With B12 the relaxation agent relaxes our natural frowning actions or naturally tensed areas, which give us a more relaxed face, like a gentle Botox for our whole face. Also the detoxifying action in B12 make our face loosing water retention faster. I've been using this day & night, as this tube only last 6 months after opening. I can see dramatic results in the morning, my pores are smaller and face is tighter.
However if you have dry skin I would recommend to use this in between your toner & hydrating night cream.

Recommended it!!!

Ma Maison Restaurant (Bugis Junction)

Cuisine: AsianWesternJapanese
This place is recommended for mostly for Romance/First Dates
Opening Hours :
Mon–Fri: 11.30am–3pm, 6pm–10pm
Sat–Sun: 11.30am–10pm

Ma Maison Restaurant is located @ Bugis Junction (they also have another branch at the Central). Although it is a Japanese restaurant, the decoration is predominately French, and they serve Japanese rendition of European dishes. The dark entrance of the place was nt reali appeal to firsttimers.

Its famous for its Hamburger Steak, so it goes without saying that I had to try it. With a beautiful sunny side-up sitting on top, the hamburger steak was well prepared, and the brown sauce complimented the meat perfectly. Although the portion looked small, it was actually quite substantial with the additional salad, soup and rice/bread.
