Nylon Coffee Roasters Everton Park

Nylon Coffee

How many people can say that they are happy at what they are doing? Not many. But I am quite sure the folks at Nylon Coffee Roasters can do that, as they are truly passionate about their coffee.

They have taken over a small shophouse and created a lovely coffee paradise in the sleepy Everton Park Estate. Who would have thought that cafes could survive in a heartland residential area?

They roast their own beans, they talk about coffee as if reciting poetry, and they serve your cuppa with lots of love. One of the best coffees in Singapore? Yes, I think so.

Oral Hygiene Tips for Healthy White Teeth

Being a food blogger means there is an array of food to try, and while the different types of cuisines satisfy the glutton in me, it is not necessarily a good thing. There are actually a lot of food that are bad for our teeth.

Lately, I did a little research on ‘teeth sensitivity’ as I have been experiencing sharp pains when I eat certain kinds of food. One of my discoveries includes the fact that regular consumption of food with high acidity (or acid content) is a common attribution to sensitivity. It is only then I realised that citrus fruits, tomatoes, and tea – all of which I consume on a daily basis – can cause enamel erosion.

Through this, I became more interested in learning how to take proper care of my teeth, and I would like to take this chance to share with you 5 important Oral Hygiene Tips for healthy and white teeth.

SlimSpa Review: Secret to Losing Weight

“How do you stay slim when you are always eating so much?” I get this question all the time, and to be completely honest, there’s no secret to staying slim – I exercise regularly.

But as I’ve been travelling frequently this year, I find it difficult to maintain an exercise routine. I used to jog at least four to five times a week, but nowadays, I only do it once or twice when I have time. Many friends are envious of me as they think that I can eat without gaining weight. But the truth is I gain weight easily (especially as I literally eat for a living), and I definitely don’t have skinny genes.

Fortunately, I met the folks from SlimSpa, and they introduced me to their diet and nutritional supplements to solve my problem.

There are many slimming products in the market, but the sad thing is most of them come and go, and as consumers, we don’t really know which brands to trust. SlimSpa, on the other hand, has been around for over seven years in the market.

I’ve been using SlimSpa products over the last month and I am happy to say that everything is going well so far. If you are looking for a safe way to lose weight, you can read more about my journey with SlimSpa’s weight management solution.

Words by The Little Teochew, photos by ladyironchef.

I think Audrey Hepburn said it best in Sabrina – “Paris is always a good idea.” Ah, the city of lights, of love and all things lyrical – what’s not to like? Beautiful cities are aplenty, but Paris has a certain je ne sais quoi that draws you in, keeps you enthralled and makes you yearn for more. Little wonder that it constantly tops the list of “Most Visited Cities in the World”. Instead of sharing the well-grooved tourist tracks we visited (which a gazillion other people have already done), we thought it would be better to give you a tongue-in-cheek take on how to enjoy Paris.

Here are 5 life lessons learned from travelling in Paris.
