🇸🇬Boost Your Immune System with These Top Vitamin C Supplements

Boost Your Immune System with These Top Vitamin C Supplements
Boost Your Immune System with These Top Vitamin C Supplements

Right now, many of us in the office are wearing masks. Why? A few colleagues and I are dealing with tonsillitis, runny noses, and headaches. We saw a doctor and got some medicine. Little did we know, COVID-19 is on the rise again in Singapore, with 25,000 new cases in just one week.

We know this virus is here to stay, and a strong immune system is the best defense. But what makes a good immune system? We're not doctors, but we all know that vitamin C helps.

Here are the vitamin C supplements we're taking:

  1. Centrum
    • This is the vitamin C my mom's doctor recommended. It's non-acidic and contains other essential vitamins. Her skin looks great (thanks to collagen production), so we decided to try it. My husband loves it and sticks with it. Unfortunately, I can't handle the strong taste. Plus, I'm allergic to rose hip ingredients.
  2. Blackmores
    • One of the pricier brands in Singapore, but worth it during sales. It's easy to take without needing to dissolve anything.
  3. Guardian
    • My go-to for stopping coughs and runny noses. It's very effective, so I stock up during sales. This vitamin C comes with zinc to help fight colds.

That's how we choose our vitamin C. Hope this helps you pick your defense system!

Citibank Credit Card Perks: Free Flight + Free Luxury Perfumes

We often share with our blog readers the benefits of using the Citibank PremierMiles Card. We've redeemed plane tickets for trips to the US (2016 & 2019) and Europe (2023), opting for Qatar Airways this time for two compelling reasons: they offer great value for our miles and boast the perfect ETA for Zurich.

But the excitement doesn't end with complimentary flights; Qatar Airways surprised us with a generous welcome gift – 45,000 Avios points.

Avios points offer versatile options:
1. Flights and upgrades
2. Hotel bookings
3. Shopping

For this particular trip, we opted to splurge our points at Qatar Duty Free, bidding farewell to Qatar Airways. Stay tuned for our next post detailing why we won't be boarding Qatar Airways again. Plus, with Avios points expiring and no imminent trips planned to the Middle East or Europe, it made sense to indulge.

2. Eau des Merveilles Bleue Eau de toilette - 535 QAR
3. Ralph’s Club Elixir - 555 QAR

The grand total? A fantastic sum in 1,109 QAR or SGD408! If Qatar Airways is on your radar, be sure to explore their membership system for added perks!

PHS HAIRSCIENCE® Singapore🇸🇬 | Scalp and Hair Loss Care and Treatment Review, Promotion & Freebies

ABBEY: I do have a case of thining hair at the crown. Can be hereditary as this was the same with my uncles. The best that I can do is to give more care to it.

We went to PHS Hairscience at Wheelock Place and gave my head the treatment it deserves. I got the Signature renew scalp treatment. My scalp was assessed and it was oily and have patches of dirt. Haha. Next step is shampoo. I can’t believe you can shampoo that many times. You get that cooling effect from the menthol. A serum was jet-sprayed to my scalp for better absorption. On the next visit (yes I came back a second time), a balloon-like contraption was put over my head and the serum is applied this time by steam.

Both sessions are rejuvenating and you can feel that all is clean up there. We bought shampoos and tonic to keep the scalp and hair healthy.

WILL: If something is hereditary and the signs of those are already manifesting will you wait for it to fully take its course? Well for us, specially me, I want to delay the grey hairs and thankfully PHS is there to help. This will be Abbey’s second year using their products and I was given an anti-ageing treatment.

The anti-ageing scalp treatment only took 1-hour from me. That hour consisted of few times of bubbly-cooling shampoo, head massage, scalp treatment application and blow dry. The PHS HAIRSCIENCE Wheelock is clean, the staffs are lively and you will feel that they really caring about your mane and not just to sell any product. Our hair specialist knew everything about our scalp and its progress. 

Splurging in this kind of treatments is not a waste of time. It is a MUST to take care of yourself. See you again PHS HAIRSCIENCE!

Lenskart - Cheap Spectacles in Singapore

ABBEY: Time to have new specs and we went to Lenskart to get them. Max really gave a great customer service from choosing the frames to eye checkup. 

The frame will take more time to be delivered so we were told there will be a delay. We got two pairs for the price of one. Good deal! We also have cashback to purchase our contact lenses. My glasses were not fit to the frame properly though that’s why we went to the closest Lenskart branch and have it fixed. 

My new eyewear really looks good on me.

WILL: It’s almost more than 2 years that we didn’t go for eye health check. Sorry eyes! It is not our fault! Taking a new glasses is quite troublesome during pandemic era! 2022, the restrictions are quite loosening up, so we went to Lenskart Vivo City (Biggest Lenskart Store) to see what are the frames they are offering and if we can avail the buy-one-get-one promotion.

Because 2 years passed, of course the eyewear we have is already outdated. Luckily Lenskart have this groovy and professional frames that suits our age and needs.

We had the usual eye exams and because of some specific lenses that Abbey bought, it took our new eyewears for more than 4-weeks.

Please use Fave Pay and register for Lenskart membership. We used our favepay cashback to buy Lenskart clear then we got free colored contact lenses. *Wink-wink*

The Nail Social: Socially Conscious Nail Salon | Singapore

ABBEY: Yey, another pedicure for my tired feet. This time we went to Nail Social. The place is at a cozy upper room near Bugis MRT. 

From the time we stepped in I knew it will be a relaxing session. And yes it was! The nail technician pampered my feet with scrub and massage and really cleaned my nails. Then finished them off with glossy-shine buff. By the way they did these all quietly and without talking to other workers; which is plus for me. Total peace. And by the way they don’t hard sell. Haha. 

Be sure to make appointment and include all you want to be done with your precious nails both hands and feet as we got turned down for a manicure due to full schedule which is understandable. 



WILL: Isn’t quite disturbing of your nail attendant is bothering you to push extra services on your supposedly “relaxation day”? Well it doesn’t happen on The Nail Social. Kudos to that and congratulations to us for a having a peaceful me-time. 

Nail Social is located at Haji Lane (nearest MRT: Bugis). They are the second floor of one of the shophouses there. So what’s the difference to other nail salons? 
1. They do have this homey feel that will relax your body. 
2. Comfy non-electrical seats but no back massage for your entire session. 
3. They have an iPad which is connected to Netflix. Free to use for your entertainment. 
4. For classic pedicure, I requested the attendant to thoroughly take out the dry skin on my big toes and she did without complain. 
5. NO HARD SELLING! 

Now I am wondering why they are always fully booked even on weekdays. Looking forward to visit the other branch of The Nail Social.

Pixie Nail Spa Experience | Classic Manicure with Massage Chair | Plaza Singapura Branch

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 $$$!!!

No-No-No for me. It feels like we were fooled!

2 Day Water Fast and Why We Stopped It Immediately

ABBEY:



WILL: We always do a 24-hour fast. This round I initiated the 2-day fasting to Abbey. 

Fasting is not only good for your body for you to lose weight, balance the sugar and salt and to restart your system but fasting is spiritually good too! In the Bible, every person who has a great request or want to know a divine answer to their queries did fasting with distinctive prayer. 

Since my system is used to a 24-hour fasting, I didn’t feel any dizziness nor weakening of my body when I up out of bed at 9am. I even asked Abbey if we can hit the gym  on 12noon of 21st September. 

3pm my body shut down to a snooze and I woke up soaked on my sweat. That was 6pm. My body is shaking and for the third time in my fasting experience I felt a numbing and tingling sensation on my whole body. And of course, I know what’s next! My body will secrete a green fluid by vomit. 

Last time I had this two incidents and few minutes away in completing the fast, after puking I will feel relieved and in-tuned again. But this time, after secreting the bitter taste green liquid and a very cold sweat, pass half an hour my hands starts to shake, my heart beats frantically and my stomach churning to spew up again! 

I looked to Abbey and asked if I can stop. I am afraid that if I continued the fasting, a serious problem will arise. Abbey agreed for us to stop at our 32nd hour. 

At this moment, I failed in this fasting. I felt sad. My prayer now is for THE ALMIGHTY to forgive me in not completing my fast. 

I am sure to try again sometime. I will sure do it again victoriously!

Spectacle Hut: Designer Glasses & Sunglasses

ABBEY: It was this time of the year that our eyes needs to be checked and replace our specs. We went to Spectacle Hut and found our aviator sunglasses.

I thought the pair wouldn’t suit my eyes but they feel and looks nice. I have them as transition lenses and I look like Maverick (Top Gun) whenever I’m out in the sun. Additional pogi points.


Spectacle Hut: Designer Glasses & Sunglasses

WILL: It is time to change spectacles. Abbey and I, being adventurous, we chose to have the fad, a huge rimmed glasses that is  a fashion around 1970s. Spectacle Hut is a home for a variety of those and they are having a promotion. Lucky us! 

The service at Plaza Singapura and Waterway Point just differs a little. Punggol branch is more helpful in finding the right design for me. Hahah. For this year, no increase or decrease of the lenses. Carrots, sleep and sunlight helped us on taking extra care for our eyes. 

We are blessed because it is reimbursable through Abbey’s company. We are lucky that Spectacle Hut is on promotion, no need to top-up some bucks!

Vision Lab Eyewear at Punggol Waterway Point

ABBEY: The time has come again to change my specs. This is part of my company insurance. We checked the eye glasses shops in Waterway Point and found Vision Lab.

They have promotion for Ray-Ban brand. I got a pair of Ray Ban with Crizal lenses for 290.00(SGD). The product was ready in less than a week. 

I had issues with the fit but they gladly and kindly readjust it for me at no additional cost.





WILL: Isn't grade that most of your insurance will cover all your 'health' needs? Dental, Medical and eye care care is covered. 

For this year, we went for Vision Lab. They are conducting a promotion for their Ray-Ban frames + blue coating and uv protection lenses. For only S$198.00 you can get it with the powered glasses. 

I intend to have a same design of my husbands's frame. Hehe. Couple glasses! 

Vision Lab's optometrist attends our questions and needs with total care. Even a week after they gave us our new glasses, we still went back for them to loosen it up. They done it with a smile :) 

Thanks Vision Lab.

Q & M Dental Clinic Singapore

ABBEY: Going to the dentist is more fun whenever I visit Q & M dental clinic at Selatar Mall. The dentists there are friendly, give feedback to your dental hygiene and advise how it can be improved. 

I met Dr. Taylor Dilan on my last visit. I got dental prophylaxis and fluoride treatment. He even told what procedures to be done to fix the gap in my front teeth. I know that it is part of their sales but knowing that someone cares for your betterment is a plus. 

See you again after six months.


Singapore Dentist How Much

WILL: The nominated dental clinic of AIA is full that next available reservation will be on next year and on that we opted to use the non-panel clinic for our dentistry needs. 

We chose Q&M. Upon checking their company's website I am astounded that they are into SGX. Wow! And it made a reputation to me instantly that they are on pursuit of excellence. 

This year, I visited them thrice and all I can say is they are thriving to make their patients happy. And I felt that they do not over-bill me but they always surpass my expectations. 

I commend the receptionist that are always serving with a smile and all the dentist specially Dr. , I love her.

A heartfelt thanks to Q&M from A&W.

Wink Optics Singapore - Optometrist, Eyewear (OPTICAL SHOP)

ABBEY: Another year has passed and time for our specs to change again. Since we are getting new every year, we opted for glasses with cheaper prices. 

As long as it protects our eyes from computer radiation, changes the shades when outdoors and of course the right grade or power for eyes, we are ok. We tried Wink Optics (Seletar Mall branch). For a fraction of the cost (178SGD) from our previous purchase, we bought our new set of eyes. And after a week, we are able to use them. 




WILL: Many optical shops are out there offering promotions as part of Great Singapore Sale. And for our annual eye check-up/change specs, it is my duty to scout for great quality for a lower price. Then I saw Wink Optics. 

They are having a 50% off on the second pair and the most nice part is frames+lenses were only $98 and above. 

We headed to their Seletar Mall branch after our hike at MacRitchie Reservoir. Our eyes were checked (nothing changed) and we have some request to the lenses that alters the price a bit. Abbey wants, of course, a transition lenses and I asked for a Hoya brand lenses that will help blocked radiation from computers. 

We were shocked after the computation of the bill. Both of our specs cost almost of only Abbey's spec last year which we got from Owndays. 

Now we're wearing the glasses for more than a week, for me the lightness as a whole is great and the lenses gave me relief on a whole day staring at computer monitors. 

Next time for a cheaper alternative, review all the prices and better get it during Great Singapore Sale time. :)

SilkBath Soothing Balance (Vanilla Botanics)

ABBEY: Coupon promotions are becoming popoular nowadays. Lately, we joined iMob SG. And as a VIP, I got Silkbath body wash 750mL for a dollar. 
The body wash smells very good and leaves your skin soft. It is as if you're being comforted by a very soft blanket upon application. Even though it offers VIP perks seldom on the last few months, I'm still hoping that they will again revive it and give us good discounts.




WILL: This is the second SilkBath product that we will use. First was when Abbey won at SilkPro SG giveaway. He got the SilkBath Extra Lighten (Grape Seed Botanics). Now we are about to review is the SilkBath Soothing Balance (Vanilla Botanics).

Thanks to SilkPro for innovating a fragrance like this. The Soothing Balance variant is really comforting. The sweet smell of vanilla always fills our bathroom. This cream is really bubbly that it will cover your whole body for only one pump. After rinsing it off, it definitely leaves your skin with silky feel.

Thanks to iMob for a $1.00 deal for this 750mL liquid body soap.

Owndays Singapore (OPTICAL SHOP)

ABBEY: It is the time of the year again to change specs. Wilma is insisting on me to wear contact lenses but we ended up on choosing the good old frame.


She checked Owndays and saw that they offer full package (frame and lens) at 98sgd. The best part is that the frames are lightweight.
I chose a rimless frame. I haven't availed the offer as I requested for transition and thinner lens which add up 400sgd. Wilma got hers after 20 minutes while I waited for 3 weeks to get my new pair of additional eyes.

It was worth the wait. It also came with a nice specs case. The new specs is good and fitted me well. I looked more mature but more gwapo :)





WILL: Its a yearly must-do for us as a couple to check our eyes and to change specs. Yes! Every year we just not change lenses but the eyeglasses as a whole. Why? We use it daily..it means, our everday sweat is there and a good home for bacteria even we cleanse it religiously.

The power I need just a little bit higher, but of course I do not want a very heavy burden on my nose and ears. Gladly I found out the MyOwnDays at 313 Sommerset. 

The cheapest you can get is $98 for a glasses and the lenses. Mine was jacked up to the price of $168. I want a nicer half-
rimmed frame and Abbey added around $30 for an added protection on my eyes. 

Frame plus lenses is very light. Sometimes, I forget that I am wearing one.

Tiger Balm - ACTIVE Muscle Rub

ABBEY: We got this Tiger Balm product from one of the contest that we joined. 

Whenever my feet is aching, I'll wash them and dry and apply the muscle rub. Put ample amount on the area. It's cold upon application. You will feel no heat after but it relieve your feet from tiredness and fatigue. It's recommended to apply before bedtime. 




WILL: Thank you so much Her World Singapore for giving away a  hamper of Tiger Balm products an one of those is the ACTIVE Muscle Rub. I am not fan of this cream before but once Abbey told me that it he felt an immediate relief from its heel pain. 
      When I got an sore muscles at my right triceps, Abbey told me to put on some of the cream, anyway there is no harm on trying it, so I nod then he rubbed it on the affected area. It is kind of instant relief. 
      I super like this non-greasy cream. Available at Watsons, Guardian.

Kneipp Foot Bath Crystals

ABBEY: These are my feet's best buddy when they're tired and aching. Put warm water on a basin and mix in the crystals. Soak your feet and feel them revitalized. The product has a pleasant, relaxing aroma too. It's like you're having a foot spa at the comfort of your own home.  We got this one as prize on an online contest.



WILL: Salt was known for their antiseptic property so why not incorporate them at footbaths. This is one many products Kneipp gave Abbey when he won a $20 voucher. 
      This is a nice bottle to have. You don't need to go somewhere to soothe your swelling feet, in the comfort your own home, you can soak away all the pain that your feet feels.
      The aroma of this salt filled our room and give an extra relaxing aura. Thanks Kneipp for this organic foot crystals. Visit the Guardian Paragon branch for more info on Kneipp products.

The Body Shop Passion Fruit Body Scrub

ABBEY: I can say that I'm a fan of body scrub now. A clean body gives me a certain amount of confidence. When I tried this product the fruity scent gave me a refreshing feeling. I felt I'm more alive and energized. The salts leaves my skin soft and smooth.



WILL: Abbey signed-up The Body Shop - Love Your Body membership for me here in Singapore. He is the one who buys lotions for me. He knows when and what to buy. My husband is a really an ideal partner, isn't he? Ha!
      Well, being a member, I have the opportunity to know all the events and special promotions they have. They had this 70% warehouse sale, we bought this and stocked-up. Now is the time to try and test this body scrub. 
     As I open the lid, the sweet aroma of this scrub filled up the air of out bathroom. As I gently massage it on, the seeds from this passion fruit helps to scrape my dead skin off. As I washed, my body seems rejuvenated. Lovely isn't. Perfect for sensitive type of skins. 
    Visit The Body Shop branches and ask for the best body scrub that will suit your needs.

Ahava Exfoliating Cleansing Gel (Men)

ABBEY: We got this at Ahava in Centerpoint. This works as a facial wash at the same time as a scrub. Tiny beads works on your pores leaving your face clean and smooth. And the smell? Well, you're woman will definitely give you a kiss as you smell very manly. It makes me more handsome in Wilma's eyes :)



WILL: Thanks Ahava for giving away samples of these facial scrubs. We scheduled to redeem this at their outlet at The Centerpoint. 
      As I asked the very pleasant lady behind the counter, she told me that I can use also this as the scrubs are not too strong to dry up a woman face. And then I tried. 
      Darlings, I love it as if I am like having diamond peel feel in my own home. The scent is so manly, but that part I would love to be on my husbands face :) 
      This Cleo's 2012 Beauty Hall of Fame product winner can buy to their website. Click here. Thanks again Ahava!

Skin Cravings Scrub Me Pretty : Cranberry Yogurt

ABBEY: We saw the ad for this body scrub on one of our flight going back to Philippines. The product is different as it has yogurt in it. The aroma of cranberry fills the bathroom when I use it and the beads really clean my body making it soft and smooth.




WILL:  I saw an ad of this Scrub Me Pretty selections in a magazine rack of Cebu Pacific. As I read it, I blurted to Abbey that add this up in our grocery list, and so he did. For Php350, a bottle of cranberry yogurt covered our 5 weeks of exfoliation. 
      No salt at all and yet the cranberry seeds were there and it does the job that salt must do. Oh, I am so fragrantly delicious. Sweet! Haha! Love the scent and the softness of skin we have.

Lancome Génifique

ABBEY: This facial serum samples should be used in 7 consecutive days. I didn't complete the cycle :( But the first few days that Wilma put it on me I felt my face refreshed. 

It is translucent, white-colored and odorless. I haven't got any harsh reaction on the application and It made my skin even softer.


WILL: This is the real trial. Of course, you can see some differences for one application but a seven day consecutive facial serum is serious thing.
      
At VivoCity was where we redeemed our sample. The lady behind the counter asked for the SMS confirmation and explicate to us how to use it.
      
Day to day, there is difference, for real :) I can say that one week of applying the serum, it met the things that I expected. Supple, smooth, no blackheads, and so tight skin.
