Bookcases, shelves, cabinets & sideboards!

18th November 2020 by Expat Living < 1

https://expatliving.sg/bookcases-in-singapore-plus-cabinets-shelves-drawers-and-more/

We all have a lot of stuff, so getting it put away in good-looking furniture pieces is definitely worth working on. Whether it’s a bookcase for you or your children’s books, a cabinet to put linen in, or sideboards for crockery  – have a think before you buy. How much space do you need? Are you looking for a neutral tone or a bright pop of colour? Is it a piece of furniture you want to keep forever? Does your “stuff” need to be hidden away or displayed with pride? This buying guide should give you some food for thought.

Now facelifts can be non-surgical and non-invasive which we love.

This facelift in Singapore uses painless High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU).

How it works.....
HIFU uses ultrasound technology to reach three different depths of the skin, in order to deliver focused beams of 60 to 70 degrees Celsius without disrupting the skin surface. These beams will melt the fats in the face, while tightening the skin and boosting collagen production; this allows your skin to continually lift and tone after the treatment. 

We thought this was super cool so we tried it out. Read the full review on our stories

What would make a doctor like DR MENKA GUPTA transform herself into a functional medicine practitioner and nutritionist in Singapore? 

Her lifelong passion for healing is the answer – and she hasn’t looked back. Born and raised in Lucknow, India, she knew from the age of three that she wanted to be a doctor. After years of working as a specialist in the fields of gastroenterology, general medicine and gynaecology in leading hospitals in the UK, India and Singapore, she joined the Institute for Functional Medicine in 2012, and established Nutra Nourish here five years ago. 

Dr Menka is the the only IFM certified practitioner (IFMCP) in South Asia (there are less than 1,000 globally)
