Yoo hoo!

Back again at #cafehopping edition.No review about beauty or fashion things yet just food and good place to chill ! Tbh this post supposed to be published last year,by the time i visited there.But sorry ,so sorry blame the lazy me who can only manage to post just now.Let's say this is a #throwback post!

CHIJMES
Entertainment, History, Architecture and Beauty in one complex that's in
the heart of the city
●Location : 30 Victoria Street, Singapore
●Phone : +65 6337 7810

●Opening Hours : 24 hrs-daily

By it's logo and the front entrance of the complex ,we can tell that it has a churchy feel.The fact is,It is previously a catholic school for girls and a chapel.Now the complex established as place to hangout as soon as many restaurants,bars and shops pop up.Italian,Japanese,Mexican,Cantonese,Malaysian Cuisine-you name it.This place has it all! Moreover,this place also a versatile place where most event held in the CBD of Singapore.

Frankly says,the exterior and interior design which has historical feels truly enchant me!I was not surprised to found out that the architect designer is George Coleman,the one who also designed for Old Parliament House.No wonder every single corner is so instagrammable !

Sexy Vintage Staircase!

Spacious Balcony

They says it best to visit at early evening because the lights is on but I only had chance to visit them during afternoon.Thank's God the weather cooperated well.Not too windy or raining .Just perfect cloudy day.Because, most cafes is open-air,it feels so good to chill and just enjoy the nature breeze !

There is many good cafes inside and i just cant pick one but at that time ,I craved so bad for a nasi lemak .Thankfully,I found Toast Box outlet and immediately get in to satisfy my crave!

Yum Yum :D this only costs around SGD 6.5!

nice spot in front of Toast Box featuring falling leaves

●Conclusion●

I would gladly visit Chjimes again in the future as I'm not done exploring and try each of them T__T

Later,i'll visit in the evening to see how it's beautifully decorated with lights on.By noon,this place is perfect for you to who plan to have reunion with a group of friends and just wanna have a peace of mind with fresh air and chit-chat without being bothered by the crowd,.Visit here by night and weekdays,if you plan to have a romantic date or just enjoy the crowd :)

What do you think about Chijmes?Do you like to hang out at place like this?Kindly comment below !

Hello Reader,Hello April !

As we head into second quarter of the year,I bet some of you who live in 4 seasons country also already embrace new season ; Spring. But here I am being pathetic because of reality, living in a country that only has 2 seasons per year.In fact ,Spring always remind me of one of my life goals which is to see Sakura flower blooming in Japan.

However, even though I can't manage to see any of them,yet. At least,I get chance to try product from its extract. Yeap,It's a gift from Kawaii Beauty Japan collaborated with PT.Hoyu Indonesia ,presenting me this lovely sakura extract hair care hamper (yass!thank you feel soo blessed ♥)

Perhaps some of you seldom hear this brand before,well Ichikami is a brand manufactured by Kracie Japan which concern in the usage of mostly natural ingredients in producing hair care products ,such as rice water as extract .Legend of Japan tradition says that rice water can keep hair healthy if we use it regularly .So that's is ..the Japanese women pure beauty hair's secret!

✿ Rice Premium EX - Sakura - Black Rice - Camellia - Blackberry Lily

Black Soybean - White Sesame Oil - Walnut Oil - Sasanqua Oil - Chinese Soapberry ✿

Natural Essences all in! (read: bunch of essentials which intented to nourish and protect hair from breakage

The Rinse Off Series : Shampoo ,Conditioner,Treatment

First impression seeing the packaging design is ..CHIC but not too girlish. I really like the fact that they use monotone color as background with pink as the secondary color instead dominate by pink which likely comes in mind because of the Sakura concept. Plus,4 of them have this Sakura flower scent which drives me curious.When I opened the bottle for the first time,I was like..".mm... so this is the smell of sakura flower ,light and refreshing!" Better try it if you also as curious as me!

✿Ichikami Hair Shampoo✿

The shampoo obviously is the most outstanding since it's the only one packed in white.This color difference makes it easier to grab and differentiate with another 3 since its the most primary one.Ichikami Hair Shampoo purposed to reduce hair friction and hair damage with its smooth foam.It may not came out too foamy as you shampooing but you can feel the smoothness absorbs into your scalp.

✿Ichikami Hair Conditioner✿

Purposed to remove the dullness of hair and make it more shiny.Note that ,always make sure to leave the conditioner for some minutes after apply it thoroughly hair before rinse off ,unless you'll never get the impact.

✿Ichikami Hair Treatment✿

Next step for next greater impact It purposed to help moist the hair you can cover your hair with a towel with lukewarm water after applying for more effective result. Only use this treatment after you finish apply the shampoo and conditioner..Better use it 2-3 times per week or daily if you have serious hair breakage.

Close Up View

Non Rinse off - ✿Ichikami Hair Treatment Water✿

Realized that shampooing ,conditioning,and treatment is not enough for me who has dry hair.I need extra care to keep my hair moist every time.This Ichikami Hair Treatment water is just like a perfect answer to my problem.With its rice squalane /rice extract ingredients it should prevent the hair cuticle for being damaged.Just spray it few times in 5-10 cm in distance,let it absorbs while comb your hair. Note that better apply this after blow dry / ironing.You may find it doesn't really affect at first like me,but after a while I can feel it keep my hair in the place,neat and slightly soft.Best thing is,it doesn't make my scalp feels itchy unlike my old hair treatment.

✿Conclusion✿

I've been use this Kracie Ichikami hair care hamper for about a week and honestly i can feel bit improvement on my hair.It becomes smooth, less dull and no more tangle when i comb it.I'll use regularly for now and see if there's more improvement,Perhaps I'll stick with this brand ^_*
