**Friday Giveaway**

We've partnered with @estheclinic to give away ONE session of the cellulite-busting Smooth & Tight Treatment to THREE lucky winners 👱🏼‍♀️🙋🏻👩🏽 (total value S$1,050), at the Serangoon Garden outlet of EstheClinic.

How does the Smooth & Tight Treatment work? It knocks out stubborn cellulite effectively with a unique combination of thermo-controlled radiofrequency and vacuum suction technology. That "orange peel" skin doesn’t stand a chance!

EstheClinic’s treatment involves an innovative dual-technology approach to cellulite reduction. The radiofrequency technology is developed by sister company, French manufacturer BVA Technology; it smooths and tightens the skin from within by warming it and softening stubborn fat cells before shrinking them so they pass naturally from the body, while stimulating collagen production. Combined with the vacuum suction, even the deepest layers of stubborn fats are flushed out.

Trainers, sneakers, runners or pumps – whatever you call them, you have to have good comfortable ones that suit you! Mine are okay, but they seem to have lost their bounce. ⁠
⁠
I asked around the team to find out what they think are the best running shoes for Singapore, and what they’re currently wearing. Hopefully this helps if you’re looking for some new trainers, too – for women or for men! Click on link in bio for the rundown ⁠

Using compassion helps to quickly and easily diffuse emotional outbursts – or toddler tantrums and meltdowns for children.

Sometimes your child is screaming or refusing to listen to you and you have no idea how to handle the tantrum. You’re also starting to wonder how old they’ll be before they stop behaving this way! What do you do? “People often think that tantrums and meltdowns are the same,” says Dr Vanessa Von Auer, clinical psychologist and founding principal of Integrated International School (IIS).

It’s important to understand the difference between the two, so that you can help your child effectively.”

Dr Vanessa also reminds parents that if tantrums aren’t excessive, they’re a perfectly healthy component of a child’s development. She tells us more via her story on our website (link in bio)

The hype around kombucha is fairly recent, but did you know that this fizzy, fermented tea-based drink has ancient origins?

First brewed in northeast China over 2,000 years ago, kombucha is said to impart a range of health benefits, from strengthening immunity to improving gut health.

Sasha’s Farms is a non-profit social enterprise that supports and promotes small and independent businesses like Kore Culture Labs, a fermenting café in Bali producing healthy kombuchas and sodas.

Head to our website where you can read about four reasons why you should give them a try

As a new(ish) kid on the block, Razum International School offers something a little different as far as international primary schools in Singapore go.

Two expat mums, Elena and Marina, joined forces to create a primary school experience that focuses on a shorter day, strong academic curriculum and more affordable school fees in Singapore.

The shorter learning hours – from 8.45am to 1pm – means your child can spend the afternoon doing extra-curricular activities (ECAs). Kids can opt for activities they enjoy provided by external providers, or use the time to focus on their competitive sports or music classes or simply spend quality time with the family.

Find out more about this and other interesting aspects of Razum by clicking on our website via the link in our bio. You can even book a school tour!
