The fragrance quite often sets the mood at home and I always feel happy when I’m surrounded by the aroma wafting in the air. Opt for scents that are closer to nature, which can help to calm your senses. Alternatively, try experimenting with different fragrances. I’m sure you’ll find the ones that work best for you!
Enjoy some quality time with your favourite spa products. Run a bath and put on some light music. Close your eyes and let your mind wander. This never fails to bring a calming sensation to my mind and body.
There is no doubt that I’m a true coffee lover but, when it comes to de-stressing my mind, what works best is a cup of mildly fragranced tea. My personal favourites are jasmine and camomile tea but you can choose anything else that works for you.
Lift Up
If you’re looking for a way to perk up your lashes without having to fuss with extensions, an eyelash perm is one great option to consider. The 75-minute treatment ($85) at Trimmings promises to lift straight and stubborn lashes, making your peepers look brighter and more refreshed. The results can last up to a month, during which you can skip the lash curler and mascara! Try it at 75B Loewen Road. 8511 5085 | trimmings.com.sg

Combining intense pulsed light (IPL) with dynamic pulse control (DPC), this advanced hair-reduction technology allows for a safe, precise and pain-free treatment that works for different hair and skin types – even those with lighter hair colours and darker skin tones. It’s available at Chez Moi de Beaute, a family-run, boutique beauty salon conveniently located in Far East Plaza.
Here’s how it works: the device emits a light beam that’s absorbed by the hair into the hair follicle. This light energy turns into heat energy that coagulates the melanin in the follicle and destroys it. As a result, hair growth slows down and reduces with time.
The non-invasive treatment involves using a contact cooling device head that soothes the skin and ensures a comfortable session without the need for any IPL gel or numbing cream. During the treatment, you may feel a slight, momentary stinging sensation. At the end of the treatment, a soothing gel is applied over the area and you’ll be told of the appropriate after-care plan.
As each session is only able to target the 20 to 25 percent of hair follicles that are in the active growth phase, a series of six to eight sessions, four to eight weeks apart, are needed for maximum results.

With four locations islandwide, Sugar(ed) is the biggest sugaring studio in Singapore.
This age-old epilation method is well-loved for many reasons. Sugaring is 100 percent natural and safe for all skin conditions – including those with sensitive skin or eczema. The bacteria-resistant, water-soluble paste that’s used during each session is made of just three ingredients: water, lemon juice and sugar. The sugar paste is directly applied to the skin at body temperature, which means there’s no risk of scalding, unlike in waxing that requires heat to work. Then, the sugarist flicks off the paste, removing hair from the roots in its natural direction of growth. This results in hair regrowth that is slower, finer, softer and lighter in colour. Over time, you can expect reduced hair growth, in addition to fewer ingrown hairs. Another reason to book? Sugaring also helps to remove dead skin cells at the same time, so you can look forward to brighter-looking skin immediately after!
