I feel literally empty because I lost my SD card with 2 months worth of photos that I haven't sift through and I have not backed up. Also, my blogging access (for some weird reason) have not been available for almost 3 weeks. So I apologise in advance that this blog post would not have any visuals.

I’ve been following a strict diet and exercise regime for my wedding in January, up until Mig.me e-mailed me about a collaboration with Domino’s pizza. I sunk in my seat, helpless as I read the details of the e-mail. I surrendered to my craving and said yes. Yes, I’ll be there with my empty stomach.

Along with a few other bloggers, we got to try the freshly-released Fiery and Smoky cheese burst crusts. I’m a sucker for pizzas, anything spicy and cheese (I add cheese with almost everything I cook) and if you tell me, you’re putting them all together? That’s it – take my money.

The event started with the usual media event introductions, Linda Hassan, Marketing Senior Manager for Domino’s Pizza Singapore and Malaysia brought out the pizza and I salivated instantly. They also shared with us the unreleased TVC. After the introductions, I could already hear my tummy grumbling. To prepare myself for that evening’s feasting I didn’t have anything at all that day except for 2 cups of coffee and 2 soft-boiled eggs so you could imagine I was famished! So after my fellow bloggers took photos I was ready to dive in to take a slice or four, but like all things in life, you have to wait more. We started off with a game, being the competitive person that I was, I set aside my hunger and concentrated on making the perfect tune out of the words - Fiery and Smoky Cheese Burst Crust. I think our group, Spicy Girls (named by yours truly) did a fairly good job and so did the judges, so they crowned us winners!

And then we ate. My photos don’t really do justice to the flavor and colourful ingredients that I was able to experience and I wouldn't be able to share them anyway because of aforementioned reasons. The two new flavours that were launched were the Chilli Cheese Burst crust, it features crushed red chillies sprinkled over a layer of cheddar cheese sauce and the BBQ Cheese Burst Crust. I prefer the latter better as the tomato sauce and BBQ sauce creates a yummy mix of sweet and spicy!

The classic side orders were also available for feasting, like the barbeque chicken wings, Napolitana Baked Meatballs, and Breadstix. Because there is always room for desserts, I tried the Banana Kaya dessert - I will never look at kaya the same way again! I love it. After eating we played two rounds of games – the first is pass the message and the other one is creating sentences using none other than words relating to the new pizza releases at Domino’s.

I went home five pounds heavier and with 5 Domino’s pizza vouchers which I will be definitely be using for our housewarming party! Sorry if I made you hungry and crave for Pizza :)

Love,

Hanna

My organic holistic facial spa

I can’t remember the last time I had a facial. Maybe it’s about a year ago to be honest, I know I’m very lazy but because I feel that facials are a chores rather than a form of relaxation especially the extraction part. I got to know about Crystal Maiden through Mefitted who has kindly arranged the treatment, I said yes because I wanted to try their signature organic holistic treatment after reading good reviews about it.

An easy walk from Somerset MRT, Crystal Maiden is a quaint and clean spa which specialises in organic facial treatments. I was greeted by Yen whom I comfortably discussed my problem areas with so she would know what type of organic treatment she would do – it ranges from mixed skin type, sensitive, excess oils etc. They use 100% natural certified organic skin care products range from France that comes in vials. The whole treatment is 90 minutes. I went last Monday after traveling for four days so yes – I badly need a facial spa. The holistic facial spa covers the chest, shoulders, nape, face, head and neck. This is the first time I did a facial that included the chest, shoulders and nape area and I must admit it’s very relaxing! After one session you could see my face is glowing and brighter (apologies for my unruly eyebrows).

Taking the consultation seriously

The Soin Equilibre vials used from France

The treatment she did for me was the Soin Equilibre, if you don’t read French (like myself haha) it means carefully balanced. This treatment is suitable for all skin types whether oily, combination, dry or mature skin. There were four vials in my treatment and each was carefully removed and extracted. Even after just removing my make-up and cleansing my face, I swear I saw some changes already and I feel that my face is brighter. The massage that comes with it was very relaxing I might have dozed off and snored a bit and only woke up during extraction. Yen asked me if I wanted to proceed seeing that I quite feared it, but I really wanted to maximize the cleansing so I said yes and she was very gentle, and was resting in between a few extractions.

Sorry, was I snoring so loudly?

The final part is the mask which lasted for 25 mins. By this time I’m already so relaxed so it wasn’t difficult for me to doze off. Overall, I enjoyed the experience so much and most importantly I was able to see results! I would recommend for both men and women to do it, but the investment doesn’t come cheap. 1 session costs from S$138 – S$238 and it is recommended to have at least 6 sessions to maximize the effects. I was actually thinking if I could give a session (or six) to my mom as a gift!
