Happenings in May and Jun - ÉST.LAB Sunshield SPF50 + Phase 2 Heightened Alert

Saturday 1/5/21

Never step out of your home without sunscreen because it is the first line of defence against harmful UV rays and prevent pigmentation, sagging skin and wrinkles. 

I was being introduced to ÉST.LAB Sunshield SPF50, a water-resistant sunscreen that doubles up as a tinted moisturiser with Vitamins C and E for brightening, anti-ageing and antioxidant benefits. 

Being water-resistant, I don’t need to worry that my sweat will wash away the application and the needs for reapplication if I sweat. With SPF50, my skin is protected against the harmful UV rays and indoor lighting. 

The light texture cream contains a colour adaptive technology that allows the sunscreen to blend into our skin tone to provide sheer coverage for our skin, cover up some imperfections and give my skin a dewy finish. Thank you Daily Vanity for sending me the multi functions sunscreen that help to save my time for rushed morning.

Weekend is the only time of the week where I have the luxury time to put up on facial mask. Thanks Daily Vanity for sending them too.

I finally started using SU:M37 Skinsaver Essential Cleansing Foam that I purchased quite some times back as I just finished using my current facial cleanser.

The foam cleanser containing plant-based ingredient that contains essential fermented moisturizing substance, ensuring our skin stay moisturized even after cleansing.
 
Today was Sis V's big day. As we can't celebrate in big group, she has ordered catering to my home for my family consumption. The portion was really a lot for us, but we enjoyed the food. Thanks sis for the treat.

With the tightened community measures under Phase 2 (Heightened Alert), we have to resume back to what we have experienced last year, which is working from home and no dining out. I was very comfortable and used to stay home, so the tightened measures didn't bother me much. The endless daily workload is sufficient to keep me busy all day long. However, these measures make it tough for the F&B establishments as people will choose to take-away their food from food centres or coffeeshops instead of restaurants and cafes. To support local business, I have subscribed to Grab Foodie Pack for the past few months. On days where my mum didn't cook, Grab Food delivery become our food choices. I also used this opportunity to order from different vendors, allowing my family to try something new and not get bored with the usual varieties. 

I recommended something new for my family to try. Ever since I last 京华小吃 2 years ago, I have been missing their Chinese Pizza so I don't mind pay a little more for the delivery fee to order this. I ordered a pack of Fried Rice, Xiao Long Bao and Chinese Pizza. The Chinese Pizza has won the praise from my family, I foresee we will be ordering from them regularly during this one month.

We tried something new for food delivery today - Egg Stop.

Egg Stop offers Korean street-style sandwiches with an array of sandwiches to choose. The toast looked really delicious. I ordered Scrambled Egg Toast ($4).

The scrambled egg toast may looked simple, but it tasted delectable. The bread was toasted to perfection, together with the scrambled egg and mayo sauce, every bite was full of flavour. 

Thursday 17/6/21

As my parent were craving for dim sum, I ordered dim sum Grab delivery to satisfy their cravings.

We ordered xiao long bao, pan fried pumpkin cake and pan fried pork dumpling. 
The xiao long bao was delicate, we tried to be gentle when we picked up the dumpling to prevent the skin from bursting and the broth ooze out.

After my Swab test result was out on Sunday, I went to book a slot for my monthly scalp treatment and a haircut. I really dragged seeing the amount of hair fall after washing my hair and the floor filled with my hair, so I decided to cut it shorter.

I have chopped off a fair bit of length, this is my shortest length of hair that I have for the past 15 years. It is really more convenient to wash hair now. How do I look in my new hairstyle?

Sunday 27/6/21

Sunday dinner will usually be food delivery to give mum a break for cooking. This time round, I wanted to try something new and I spotted an offer from A-One Signature.

We gotten Prawn Paste Chicken Cube Corn Rice Bento where the second set was at 50% discount.
Unlike the other stalls that we ordered, the food was cold when arrived. We got 2 bento and a drink at about $16 via Grab delivery.

Wednesday 30/6/21

As my family are staying home most of the time, we always make it a point to buy delicious food back home when any of us go out. So this time round, my parents bought some pastries home for time break.

As mum was thinking on what to have for dinner, I suggested Tim Ho Wan since my family are dim sum lovers and they have never try before their famous BBQ pork buns. The food was still warm when arrived.

We have been trying new food stalls these two months so that my family get to expose to different variety of food that they never try before. It's not a bad thing to stay home too.
