My Review
Ricola is a well heard brand. Popular for its herbal sweets. But do you know that they have Instant Tea too?

Last month when I was in Switzerland, I came across a surprise (at least to me) finding at one of their supermarket. Ricola Instant Tea!!!

My first reaction was what!! Ricola actually produces Tea!!! I have never seen it in Singapore. So with my curious antenna on, I bought 1 can home to try. 

The instant tea came in a round container. The wording and printing style on the container just look like the Ricola sweet. 

It came in a round container.

Opening the container cap, the tea is sealed with foil that can be easily peal off. 

Sealed with foil.

Once opened, I can smell nice sweet fragrance that is similar to the Ricola sweet. 

Very nice sweet fragrance once opened.

The tea came in small log yellowish beads.

The tea came in small log yellowish beads.

I have chosen Elderflower flavour as I remembered that the sweet version taste great. So I thought the tea will be equally nice.

The tea is light yellowish in color. And I made it cold. One sip of the tea and indeed. The tea does taste just like the Ricola Elderflower sweet. Very nice aromatic herbs taste that is not too sweet. And it taste equally nice when hot.

Instant tea made cold.

The tea is light yellowish in color.

I think I have fall in love with this Ricola Instant Tea and will try their other flavours.

Finally get to get hold of Creme Simon Brightening Restorative Light Night Moisturiser during one of their flash sale. 

Brightening Restorative Light Night Moisturiser.

The moisturiser came with a very nice bottle. 

Nice bottle.

It came with a pump. For me, I used only 1 pump for each application. 

Came with a pump.

The moisturiser is light weight and had a white creamy texture. It is non greasy and consist of a light fragrance smell. 

White creamy texture.

During application, my skin feels cooling and refreshing and the moisturiser is easy to absorb. After a while, skin feels smooth to touch. 

In the process of application.

However, not sure if it's only for my problematic skin, there are more blemish seen on my T-zone area during this period of application. It does not seem to have good effect on my T-zone. 

But in order not to waste the product, I only apply them on my cheek and neck area which is more dry and not so acne-prone. Effect seems to be ok on these area.

Review: Shepherd's Pies Freshly Baked From Shepherd's Pie Singapore

Shepherd's Pie (https://shepherdspie.sg/)

Are you those who go crazy seeing Shepherd's Pie?Then you will definitely love the Shepherd's Pie that I am going to introduce to you in a moment. 

I love Shepherd's Pie and I used to have them once a week at my work cafe until one day, my company change the cafe and I haven't had my Shepherd's Pie since. Last week, thanks to Shepherd's Pie Singapore, I had the chance to taste delicious and freshly baked Shepherd's Pie.

My Review
Last weekend's dinner is a different one for my family. Thanks to Shepherd's Pie Singapore for delivering hot and delicious shepherd's pies for my family's dinner. 

I love shepherd's pie. So I was really looking forward to it. 

The shepherd's pie came late afternoon towards evening, nicely pack in a black box. Labelled clearly what is inside.

Came nicely pack in a black box.

I have with me, 1 mini beef pie, 1 mini and 1 medium chicken pie. I still can feel the heat of the pie when I hold the box. Yes, they are still hot when they arrived. And I can smell nice cheese fragrance when I open up the box.

1 mini beef pie, 1 mini and 1 medium chicken pie.

Beef Shepherd Pie
Only I eat beef. So naturally, the 1 mini beef pie goes to me.😄 The moment I deep my spoon into the pie and pull it out, I can already smell nice mixture of beef with cheese fragrance.

Mini Beef Shepherd's Pie.

The mashed potatoes taste fluffy and melts in my mouth. 

The cheese on the very top is chewy. 

The beef mix with very little amount of vegetables inside, taste sweet at first but as I chew longer, very light amount of pepper can be tasted. I can taste the beef but it is not too gamey, just nice to me.

When all combine into 1 mouthful, a very delicious Shepherd's Pie indeed!!!

Chicken Shepherd Pie
The chicken shepherd's pie had the same consistency in term of the taste as the beef shepherd's pie. Just that instead of tasting beef, I taste chicken. 

Chicken Shepherd's Pie.

The chicken taste very tender. The sauce taste pretty much the same as the beef one to me, sweet at first but peppery towards the end. 

I must say, the fillings and the mashed potatoes ratio is just nice to me. You won't feel tired eating too much of it.

The fillings and the mashed potatoes ratio is just nice to me.

There is nothing I can really fault about for these pies. But if you really want me to pick the bones in an egg, then I shall say, maybe a little more carrots and corns will be even better for me as I love vegetables. This will give the meat a tad of vegetable taste.  (Can I have Vegetable Shepherd's Pie in future?😁😝)

A little more carrot and corn will be even better for me.

Shepherd's Pie is always a great food to have for any occasion, especially during tea break, lunch and dinner with friends and family. It goes well with a cup of tea or even over a cup of wine. It is convenient and very filling.

For the healthy conscious folks, potatoes is in the same section as rice and noodles in the food pyramid. So I must say it is sometimes great to replace rice with potatoes in your meals. They are lower in calories and fats, higher in fiber and same proteins as compare with rice.

For my family that day, we realize that the shepherd's pie actually goes well with the fired wanton skin!!! Ok not very healthy but it is really a very delicious pairing I must say. 

Goes well with fried wanton skin.

Where to buy it?

My Review
Thanks to Sasa event last year, I finally gets to try Suisse Programme Advanced Cellular Boosting Solution. 

This boosting solution came in a very nice dark purple box. 

Dark purple box.

The solution is contained in a same dark purple bottle. 

Came in a nice bottle.

It came with a pump. For me, I use 2 pumps for each application. 

Came with pump.

I actually use this boosting solution as my serum. It has a transparent watery gel texture. Thicker than toner but lighter than gel. And I notice there is some shimmer in the solution. 

Transparent watery gel texture with shimmer.

I do smell some light perfume like fragrance. This solution is non-sticky and not oily when apply. It is easy to absorb but feels a little cooling while applying maybe due to the alcohol ingredient inside. This ingredient may turn off people who have great concern of alcohol for our skin in long term. 

I have use it for around 1 month already. My skin feels smooth and hydrated and it helps to keep my skin less tired. And it works well with other skin care products.

During application.

But I don't find it helpful for whiteheads, in turn caused blemish on my skin.

This solution is still OK to me but the alcohol ingredient and the price, I think I will still think over if I will continue with this product.

How to use.

My Review
Everyone have seen and used plaster before. For me, I only used those normal plaster, at most normal plaster that is waterproof. 

I have never seriously look at other plaster that is around in store. Until one month ago, when I had a very bad and deep cut right in the middle of my forehead. 

I came across 3M Nexcare Hydrocolloid Bandages, thanks to my buddy who still manage to choose an amazing plaster for me although she is really panic that day. (🙈 More panic than me.)

This 3M Nexcare Hydrocolloid Bandages came in a box of 5. 

Came in a box of 5.

Each piece came seal in plastic. 

How each piece of plaster look like.

To use, tear open the plastic and take out the plaster.

Open up the plastic to retrieve the plaster.

There are 2 side to the plaster, numbered 1 and 2. Number 1 stick to the skin while number 2 is the non sticky side that face up.

Number 1 side of the plaster.

Number 2 side of the plaster.

Be careful after removing the plastic from number 1 side of the plaster. As the transparent sticker is very thin, it will easily stick together if it is not handle properly.

After number 1 side of the plastic is removed.

After removing both side of the plastic, stick the plaster onto the wound, making sure the wound is landed on the gel pad in the middle. The plaster looks really transparent on the skin. It is waterproof too. So I do not really need to worry much about it after sticking on it.

How the plaster look like on the skin.

After sometime, the wound area will turn white. This is perfectly normal. 

Wound area turns white.
(selfie taken, forgot to flip it therefore it is the other way around in the current photo)

One thing I do not like about this plaster is that the sticker area turns really sticky, making it difficult to remove. Even after remove, there will be sticky stuff left on my skin and I really need to take sometime to really clean it off before sticking on new plaster.

Removed plaster.

But this plaster really amaze me. I actually immediately stick this plaster after cleaning my wound that day. To my surprise, I don't feel pain at all and there is no sign of bruises. My wound is really deep but with the help of this plaster, my wound heal really fast and also beautifully heal with less scar. My wound is actually visibly shorter and less deep only after 1 day of applying. 

Healing of my wound with the help of this plaster.

Because my wound heals beautifully with this plaster, it really save me a lot of trouble, I now have to just apply scar healing gel and wait for it to be fully invisible. No more harden blood on the wound for my itchy finger to peel.

I really find this plaster amazing. Which is why I feel like doing this review to share with everybody. I hope you will never need to use plaster but if you need (Touch wood), there is this plaster that really helps. Especially if the wound is on the face.
