In September last year, I made a decision to try out a fat freezing treatment known as CoolSculpting with Dr. Terence Tan at Halley Medical Aesthetics, because my body shape situation was really getting out of hand (read about my consultation). To summarise, it wasn’t a weight problem. My BMI was within the healthy range […]

The strategic death of my fat cells by freezing | CoolSculpting at Halley Medical Aesthetics
In September, I went through a round of fat freezing at Halley Medical Aesthetics and I’ve gone away with a lot to share about the process, including details like what clothing you could pick for the treatment and more importantly how it feels during and after the treatment. But first, lets recap. What is CoolSculpting? […]
Regaining my body contours | Cool Sculpting consultation at Halley Medical Aesthetics
As someone who has been thin and close to being underweight for most of my life, weight gains and shape change were the last of my worries. Even pregnancy did not change that. In fact, I weighed less after pregnancy and looked thinner than before. Until aging and lifestyle changes caught up with me. A slower […]
A mask a day
Older skin is sturborn, it does not drink up when told to do so. Massaging in the moisturisers does not cut it now. I lose the product to evaporation faster than it gets absorbed. So now, I’m focusing on first getting the moisture absorbed and second, locking it in. How I choose masks for locking […]
Browtisan by Coco | Eyebrow embroidery touch up experience
6-7 weeks after having my eyebrow embroidery done, I scheduled my first complimentary touch up. A touch up this quick after initial eyebrow embroidery is necessary because everyone’s skin takes to the colour dye at different rates and everyone’s embroidered eyebrows shrinks differently after the initial embroidery settles. The initial eyebrow embroidery acts as a gauge and the first touch up […]
Browtisan by CoCo | My eyebrow embroidery story
There are many different types of eyebrows you can invest in and they come with vastly different price tags. The left most ones are the cheapest (can be gotten for $200+ I heard) but I decided early on that if I were to ever do eyebrow embroidery, it must be the stroke by stroke kind […]
Eyebrow embroidery | Why I did it.
Have you read this article about why successful people wear the same (or almost the same) thing everyday? It has been on my mind ever since I read it about 10 days ago and while shopping yesterday, I finally concluded that it’s not quite possible for me. Cutting down my wardrobe is definitely possible, so […]
How much water do you drink?
At a celebratory work lunch one day, my new colleague showed us a photo of herself 2 years ago and I was flabbergasted. Back then her face was all puffed up and she was a lot plumper (understatement). Now, she’s slim, her face has beautiful contours and her skin glows. Most importantly, she also showed […]
My hair secrets | What’s yours?
I’ve been suffering from flat hair for a while now, especially since mine has grown quite long. To achieve some kind of sustainable volume, I’d need careful flat iron curling, dry shampoo at specific portions of my hair, super strong hold hair spray and about an hour. Which is why, I’ve been sending friends photos […]
My favourite make up removal products
I wish it was but this is not a sponsored post. I’m writing this for some friends, who have asked me how to remove make up effectively and quickly. It’s really simple with the right products and very quick too! Here goes! First I have to tell you how much make up I wear typically, […]
Beauty Do or Don’t : Facial soak with carbonated mineral water
Recently, I’ve been a little hooked on watching Get It Beauty videos on youtube. It’s the korean equivalent of 女人我最大, which I’m more familiar with (not that I know which program started first). This particular video triggered the skincare fanatic in me to try out something new: I bought this bowl from Daiso. The size […]
