Skin Inc Pure Revival Peel

February 10, 2014 by ladyironchef / No Comments

“Eat well, live well, be well.”

This has always been Melody’s and my mantra in life, and while we always treat ourselves to the better things in life, we have always believed in a holistic approach towards a complete well-being.

Eating is our hobby and so is traveling. Every good meal and every trip uplifts the spirits and makes us happy. And while we are what we eat, we have also formed a firm belief in treating our skin to the best food, too. Because when we feel good, we look good. And feeling good inside out is the very holistic approach we practise.

Lately, we have been introduced to a miracle product, and both Melody and I have inculcated it in our respective daily skincare regimes – Skin Inc’s Pure Revival Peel. Renown for their highly concentrated, 100% pure and active serums and skincare from Japan, Skin Inc (www.iloveskininc.com) offers customised skincare solutions for each and every individual.

Apart from their regular ranges, here is our favourite Pure Revival Peel, and 3 reasons why you should feed your skin the best it deserves:

Club Lounge

A hotel club floor room, for the uninitiated, is like a VIP floor, with benefits like priority check-in/out services, all-day refreshments, laundry services, wireless high speed internet, and the use of the exclusive club lounge.

However, this is not true because for those who are in-the-know and do not mind paying a little more can enjoy the perks and amenities.

W Singapore Valentine’s Day Promotion at SKIRT

February 3, 2014 by ladyironchef / No Comments

Skirt W Singapore

Anytime is a good time for steaks, but SKIRT at W Singapore – Sentosa Cove is one chi-chi steakhouse that we prefer to reserve for dates with the discerning loved ones. And this is why this Valentine’s Day, there is nowhere better than romancing your date with an unforgettably lavish dinner at SKIRT. After all, you need a reliable outlet where the service is impeccable and professional, and SKIRT is ideal with its mix of elegance and chic factor.

This Valentine’s Day, SKIRT presents a 5-course dinner menu (S$350++ for 2) with a bottle of Auris Spumante Brut. Wake your palate up with a trio appetiser, the Titanic – starring the Tuna Tartar with avocado puree that is a brilliant blend of the fish’s freshness and the rich taste of the creamy fruit; luxurious chicken pate accompanied by fragrant homemade roasted chicken crackers; and cured halibut with grapefruit that is a refreshing juxtapose to the first two strong flavours. Quite a myriad of flavours and textures to begin the evening, indeed.

Skirt Steak Sandwich

Succeeding the trio is the Casablance that further pays homage to the ocean’s freshness – generous chunks of crab meat with tomato jelly and an apple sphere beautifully set in a martini glass. Moulin Rouge Champagne & Roses will take your breath away – seared scallop covered with champagne foam and rose petals. Nothing quite like celebrating the love in the air with a gorgeous dish like that. Every bite is pleasure to remember.

When Harry met Sally is when we indulge in a main course of Steak Sandwich – Black onyx sirloin with Marrow crumbs, tomato and onion puree. The meat is served medium, and the marrow and bread crumbs complemented the creaminess of the beef so well.

Last but certainly not least, show your date how intricately delicate and poignantly rich your love is via the dessert of 5 textures of chocolate. We really loved the chocolate ice-cream!
