ABBEY: I asked Wilma if we can have mani and pedi for our anniversary. Wish granted. We went to Pixie Nail and have our nails done. We’re seated in a lazy boy-like chair and you will only leave that after the session is ended. The chair has a massage function so you can give your back a treat while they are busy with your fingers and toes.
I’m satisfied with service. My nails are shiny after the cleaning and buffing. I just don’t like how the staff are being pushy for you to get the packages or telling you this service but for another charge.
What I do not want is not telling me how much the whole service will cost and the add-ons before we go into oblivion of relaxation. By the way all the services including manicure, pedicure, leg spa, nail color (for my wife) cost 370SGD.
WILL: It’s our second wedding and of course we want to be as beautiful/handsome like on our first. One of the base in getting ready for our it the pamper our hands and feet. Off we went to Pixie Nail Plaza Singapura branch.
We were there to get their classic manucure/pedicure. We loved the idea of elevated seats that seems like a throne. And the throne is a massage chair. Ooohhh! Total relaxation. But wait! Then the relaxation bubble burst when they started to be pushy in their additional products. Abbey said yes for salt soak ($10) and when I said NO to the woman who is manicuring our hands on her advise to get the 50% off hand and foot spa, she asked me “Why? It is only $40. Ot is cheap”. Well I am okay with that wordings but the way she looked at me that if I am somewhat cheap is not a good marketing strategy. Abbey was persuaded and get the hand and foot spa for both of us!
Can you guess how much is our bill after spending 2hours in the Pixie Nail? It is a shockingly $$$!!!
WILL: I am literally drooling whenever I am seeing someone wearing a Cartier LOVE ring. A pair of LOVE ring sums up the preliminary budget of our enitire wedding 10years ago. Haha! It is a star for me that time. Lovely to see but impossible to reach!
We have talks of renewing our vows and I am firm that Cartier’s LOVE ring is perfect for the occasion (no negotiations) haha! Since it is holiday season, Abbey wants to treat me with an earring. Unlike Abbey, I am new in purchasing a jewelry. Yes husband is more keen on this. Haha! Sent an email and received a confirmation but no one calls. I thought it is all okay but I am wrong.
The earring is not available not only in Cartier’s ION Orchard Branch but in Singapore itself. Whew! I am furious. Really! Anyways, we still purchased “the star” of that day which is the LOVE ring and Endrea advised us that we can get the free engraving when we are really sure on the size of the ring. Ahmmm, yep you can return the ring if the size doesn’t fit(terms and conditions applies).
We returned to the store after few weeks for the engraving and we were greeted by their manager(I think) with a smile and explains to us how thankful they are for lur feedback. She gave us two boxes of Cartier scented candles and of course we gladly accepted it. Haha! Whenever we are at Cartier’s we always instantly felt that we are welcome and ready to serve you! Kudos to Endrea for doing a magnificent job in comforting in my time of anger. That is indeed an ultimate Customer Care she shown to me and my husband! Will definitely come back to Cartier!

WILL: The Ritz-Carlton chain of hotels are well known as a business hotel and one of the top notch here in Singapore. For your information this is the hotel where Apple got the idea for their Customer Care/Experience service.
If you have watched our vow, you will know that Abbey and I are not well off but we have many goals that we want to achieve and staying in The Ritz-Carlton is one of them. Our 10th wedding anniversary is the best time to cross those goals one-by-one. Ha! Ha! Ahmm, we are not only the one celebrating an anniversary but also The Ritz-Carlton. They have a parade of promotions for their 25th anniversary and luckily got a very good deal on their room with a Club Lounge Access.
ROOM The Ritz-Carlton is not your typical room. They are known for their octagonal window in their bathroom which they made it to the list of most sexiest and most instagrammable bathroom. But I want you to take a look on their walls. It is not a paint or wallpapers. It was covered with leather. Look closely how thick their mattresses are! That is the highest bed I have slept. I am climbing a bed. Haha! They don’t have a care pack unlike other hotels so you may want to call their hotline or just go down to the concierge to get your masks or sanitizer needs. Speaking of sexy bathtub. They gave us a complimentary butler drawn bath. Forget about bathhomb, butler drawn bath by The Ritz-Carlton is one of the must experience here. The aroma will fill up your entire room and the milky/creamy water will enveloped your whole body.
CLUB LOUNGE Upon researching, The Ritz-Carlton is the only one who serves champagne from breakfast till evening. OMG unlimited pours of Exclusive champagne for The Ritz-Carlton.. the Champagne Barons de Rothschild Reserve Ritz.For the food, they have an array of currated menu from their chefs. The Club Lounge ambiance resembles to an airport lounge. It is quite and relaxing. So quite you can do a wfh in here. Haha.
The Ritz-Carlton’s Club Lounge will not be complete without Ms Sheila. Gosh! You will know that she is a manager because of her different outfit from the rest but she is so welcoming. It feels that you are in her home and you are one of her VIPs.
We were well served by her and her team. It seems that they know us well. They know our food and drink preferences in a small span of time! This is one of the most memorable staycation Abbey and I had. This set a new standard for the staycation in Singapore. Club Lounge of The Ritz-Carlton is best!
