There are many benefits to push ups. Not only does it works your arms (triceps), it also works your shoulders (deltoids) and chests (Pectoralis major and pectoralis minor). Other than that, it also trains your core muscles. But be careful there, every exercise requires one to perform it properly. So how do we perform a proper push up?

Gmask! The Review.

Time: 20 15

Status: YEAH, I’ve laid my hands on Siri!

It’s been 2 years since I’ve started using iPhone and all I’m kinda used to (ok maybe a little tad addicted) to it. So while re-contracting my phone line, I decided to “upgrade” my iPhone 3Gs to iPhone 4s. After placing my order with Singtel, I decided to shop online for a new pretty cover while waiting for my phone to be delivered.

Straight away, I thought of the shop that Blair Fowler (a Youtube star) mentioned in one of her videos in the past: Cellairis and I went to check it out. (She and her sister, Elle, actually designed some of the covers sold at Cellairis) I was in love with quite a few but what stopped me from buying was the huge shipping fee! (Major boo boo). It would set me back by $50+ which I thought would get me something decent locally as well. But after shopping for a bit more, I still could not decide on a cover that I really like. That’s when I decided on Gmask!

Gorgeous Cellairis phone cover that I wanted to get!

Gorgeous, ain't they?

Back to Gmask, Google “Gmask review Singapore” and you’d probably see some bad reviews about it. For those who don’t know what Gmask is, basically it’s a “skin” for your phone. You get to choose your own design and they will print it and stick it on your phone. However, customers have been complaining about the lousy techniques of the sales assistant who will be in-charge of placing the Gmask on their phones. They often result in uneven placing causing visible bubbles. Some even complained about their phones got scratched! I was indeed worried but I went down to a Gmask outlet (at Tampines Mall) anyway.

One Minute Beauty Tip #8

Tip #8: Moisturizer? Think twice!
I know how people always say about moisturizing. But I have been told by my doctor that  it is not for everyone! The weather in Singapore is way too hot and humid for those with sensitive acne prone skin and it will actually cause more harm than good. So if you find that your skin seems clogged all the time and that acne is always hanging around, time to skip that daily moisturizer. Limit it to twice a week if you must!

Nail Trend: Words on Nail

Time: 14 45

Status: Chiong-ing MA homework!! 4 MA lectures in a span of 1.5 weeks is indeed to stress to manage!

Ok pardon my rambling as I’m a bit stressed up with the upcoming week. But I realise that I had not been updating my blog so yar, here’s one that has been drafted since eons ago.

If you have realise, my favourite nail “trend” is french manicure and I wear it on almost all occasions. One fine day, I just suddenly grew bored with it and I wanted to try something new. Guess what I found? Words on nails!

Lindsay Lohan made the news with her message to the Judge in court. I disapprove of that but still, the idea of having words on nails was somewhat cute.
