Florida's Natural Juices (Giveaway Winners)

May 17, 2015 by Regina Chow No Comments
I have always been a loyal fan of Florida’s Natural juices and my favourite is their Orange Juice with Most Pulp (Product of USA). Squeezed from Valencia oranges and not from concentrate, it is the next best alternative to having freshly squeezed juice.
Nothing else comes close, and naturally, I couldn’t conceal my excitement when I had the opportunity to be a part of their latest campaign, where I got to find out more about Florida’s Natural range of juices and their multiple uses through 3 challenges (hidden within the envelopes labelled A, B and C in the photo below) that were posed to me.
If you follow me on my Facebook page here, you may already have participated in my recent Florida’s Natural Juices Giveaway where the winner will receive 1-month’s supply of juices from Florida’s Natural. I asked you to choose the sequence in which I should open the envelopes which would determine the order of the challenges that I take up. 
Which sequence did I pick in the end?  
Who is the winner of this giveaway? 
Sorry for keeping you in suspense for so long!  The winner of the giveaway will be revealed at the end of this post, but meanwhile, read on to find out more about each challenge.
Challenge B: Cooking (Orange-Sesame Noodles with Grilled Shrimp)

I started with Challenge B, a cooking challenge using Florida’s Natural Orange Juice. 

Yes, that’s right. Orange Juice.

Before you start frowning at the idea, I have to tell you that I have tried using freshly squeezed orange juice to marinate shrimps previously. However, this was my first time using Florida’s Natural Orange Juice or any juice straight out of a carton for that matter as a sauce for soba noodles and I wasn’t so sure if it would taste good.
Here’s the recipe if you’re interested in recreating this dish:
Ingredients
1/4 cup fresh orange juice (I used the Most Pulp version)
3 tablespoons tamari
3 tablespoons peanut butter (I used organic unsalted peanut butter, but I think the sinful version would taste better)
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
2 teaspoons grated orange zest
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
10 ounce soba noodles
1 cup snow peas
1 carrot, cut into matchsticks (I used baby carrots as they’re sweeter and there’s no need to cut them up)
1.5 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined (I used ready cooked frozen shrimp for convenience)
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
Preparation
1. Combine first 7 ingredients in a large bowl to make orange juice sauce.
2. Boil noodles according to package directions. Before draining, add snow peas and carrots to cook for 30 seconds.
3. Drain pasta, peas and carrots and toss immediately with orange juice sauce. Set aside.
4. Brush shrimp with sesame oil and grill over medium-hot stove for 3-5 minutes
5. Arrange pasta on serving plate, topped with shrimps.
And here’s presenting my final dish! I was surprised that it actually tasted better than expected. It had a pleasant nutty taste accompanied by a refreshing citrus flavour. I used organic unsalted peanut butter but I have a gut feel that this would taste better with the more sinful version.

Challenge C: Flatlay (What’s on my table?)

My next pick was Challenge C, which also turned out to be the easiest challenge for me as I love flatlays. I did a flatlay of my favourite beauty products, accessories (the lovely people who packed my challenge chose this gorgeous floral wreath and floral ring for me), and not forgetting Florida’s Natural Ruby Red Grapefruit Juice.

Since we are on the topic of beauty, did you know that grapefruit juice promotes a healthy complexion and helps with weight loss too? It gives you more energy at the same time and decreases the risk of obesity, diabetes and heart disease too.  

Now, I’m sure this gives you ample reasons to start consuming grapefruit juice! I have just started taking grapefruit juice during breakfast every morning so I always have a carton of Florida’s Natural Ruby Red Grapefruit Juice in my fridge. You should try it too!

If you prefer something a little sweeter, you could give Florida’s Natural Cranberry Ruby Red Juice a try. Cranberry juice acts as a sweetener and promotes urinary tract health too, which is perfect for us ladies.


Challenge A: Upcycling (Juice Carton Desk Organiser)

I wished the challenges were as easy as ABC (in that order), but the truth was, I was stumped by Challenge A. I was tasked to upcycle an empty carton of juice and in a nutshell, what this means is I had to make a useful product out of waste materials. I have to say it is a very meaningful task, but handicraft is definitely not one of my strengths.
Thankfully, with the help of my brother who loves art and craft, we managed to convert the juice carton into a desk organizer to store my girly stationery. As frivolous as my pens may look, don’t you agree that they’re so adorable? Looking at them brightens up my day instantly. 

If you’re interested in making your own desk organiser, follow the instructions below:
What you need
 Empty juice carton
Craft knife
Hole punch
Preparation
1. Thoroughly wash and dry the interior and exterior of the juice carton. Use your craft knife to cut out an entire flap on the side of the carton.
2. Use your hole punch to punch several holes all over the flap that you cut out. Note that you have to use a hole punch that is able to create larger holes. The usual puncher does not work as well, so I used this hole punch that I purchased from Art Friend instead: 
3. Use blu tack to stick the reverse side of the flap back onto the side of the carton.
Here’s a close-up of the final product:
I had a lot of fun with these creative challenges and I certainly hope this post has given you a better idea of what you can do with your Florida’s Natural juices.
And now’s the time for the big reveal. 
Did you guess the sequence of my challenges correctly? 
 For those of you who guessed BCA, you could very well be my giveaway winner! 

Giveaway Winner Announcement
There are two winners for this giveaway and they will each walk away with 1-month worth of Florida’s Natural Juices. 

The winners are:
1) Serene Tay

2) Tan Bee Leng

Please drop me an email at regina.chow@gmail.com. Florida’s Natural will get in touch with you directly to make the necessary arrangements.

Thank you once again for participating in this giveaway. I took a while to sieve through all the comments as there were more than 100 responses!

MyJotterBook: Vintage Style At Its Best (Giveaway at the end of this post!)

January 19, 2014 by Regina Chow No Comments
http://www.myjotterbook.com.sg
  Tucked away in the cozy Jalan Rumah Tinggi neighbourhood, MyJotterBook is an oasis of loveliness where vintage fashion apparel, bags and accessories take centrestage. 

Before I even stepped into the shop, I was instantly drawn to the gorgeous signage, which I later learnt was a DIY project that Lishan took on using an old, forsaken wooden plank. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that an old plank of wood could undergo such an impressive transformation. I have to give my two thumbs up for Lishan’s creativity and eco-friendly efforts!
  

www.myjotterbook.com.sg

Lishan also took pains to decorate the shop in a retro fashion, adding her personal touch to everything that you see, touch and feel.


Established in the last quarter of 2013, MyJotterBook first started its foray into the world of fashion by introducing a series of exclusive hand-made book clutches through its website. I fell head over heels in love with their book clutches and immediately purchased 3 at a go to add to my growing collection of bags. 

Obviously, I was not the only one who found these book clutches irresistible, because they became an instant hit overnight and many of the popular designs are now either out of stock or running out fast! If you haven’t grabbed one for yourself, please act fast! You can also read my review of the book clutches here.

www.myjotterbook.com.sg
 VINTAGE APPAREL

To complement its collection of book clutches, bags and accessories, Lishan decided to take one step further by offering a specially curated selection of vintage apparels as well.


MyJotterBook’s vintage collection is exclusively available at their physical store and every piece is lovingly handpicked by Lishan and her partner. I am an ardent fan of vintage fashion and stepping into MyJotterBook was like a dream come true for me. It may be a new kid on the block, but the collection that MyJotterbook stocks is surprisingly varied and very wearable.


The minute I stepped in, I was greeted by racks of true blue vintage dresses and blouses spanning across various eras in a multitude of designs to cater to your every whim and fancy.  


The vintage apparel at MyJotterBook come with detailed description tags that gives you a better understanding of the size and condition, as well as design elements unique to each era. 

Wearing vintage apparel is akin to wearing a piece of history, and being able to appreciate the finer details truly completes the overall experience. 


I spent hours at MyJotterBook, reveling in the company of Lishan as I tried on dress after dress. I simply couldn’t get enough of all the beautiful apparel, and of course, it also helps that the fitting room is cozy and absolutely welcoming.

Here are just some of the lovely dresses that I tried on that day:

 

BRAND NEW ITEMS & NEW-OLD STOCK 

Not everything that you see in the store is vintage or preloved though. There are brand new items and new-old stocks too! 

What differentiates MyJotterBook from its counterparts is that it goes the extra mile to bring in brand new items from overseas labels that are not found on our sunny island and off the beaten path. 

One such label is Sourpuss, an independently owned US label that offers an interesting array of brand new vintage inspired apparel and kitschy accessories.

This quirky blue 50s inspired dress from Sourpuss stole my heart the moment I set my eyes on it and I had to take it home with me. It looks like a dress that came off the set of popular American series, Mad Men and I can see totally see myself wearing this out for tea with the girls at a retro bistro like Billy Bombers!

And here comes an adorable sailor doctor’s bag to complement the dress. I especially like how the structured doctor’s bag is given a playful twist with bold red stripes and contrasting navy blue trimmings, complete with anchors. Not only will this statement piece dress up a casual weekend outfit instantly, it would also be a fantastic addition to your Chinese New Year wardrobe!

If you don’t already know, the book clutches modeled after popular English Classics are also brand new items. For those of you who are looking for a special gift or if you are a fan of English literature, you will be happy to know that you can now purchase the book clutches and English Classics as a set!

www.myjotterbook.com.sg
 Recently, MyJotterBook also brought in a brand new range of cigar box bags in limited quantities.  These bags are made from genuine cigar boxes and each one is creatively crafted with beads and embellishments to ensure that no two are the same. 
www.myjotterbook.com.sg
I was so besotted with the cigar box bags, I decided to get the diamonte embellished one with a skull motif for myself.
If you follow me on instagram (@reginachow_sg), you would have gotten a preview of the gorgeous bag:
www.myjotterbook.com.sg
  
It took me some time to decide on the skull design because I was equally mesmerized by this pretty, white-based cigar box bag as it went really well with my outfit that day. 
 
In case you were wondering, the sunglasses in the photos above are actually new-old stock from MyJotterBook. New-old stock refers to genuine vintage items which have never been worn before, so they are in fact as good as new!  
 Besides sunglasses, MyJotterBook also offers a beautiful collection of  jewellery from yesteryear as part of its new-old stock. Accessories add the finishing touches to an outfit and I am a fan of vintage jewellery simply because they have so much character.
If you prefer brand new items inspired by vintage designs, MyJotterBook also boasts a collection of brand new belts, pill-box hats and fascinators to tickle your fancy.

www.myjotterbook.com.sg
These hats and fascinators are great for parties and formal events. I can foresee myself wearing these to the turf club events or a dinner function. 
In fact, all the fascinators and hats that you see in my outfit posts above are from MyJotterBook. Aren’t they beautiful?

Thinking of doing some last minute Chinese New Year shopping? Head on down to MyJotterBook for some retail therapy today!  

GIVEAWAY ALERT!

In collaboration with MyJotterBook, I will be giving away not one, but TWO sets of MyJotterBook goodies to two lucky readers of “Shopping Queen’s Haven”!
Each set consists of a brand new adorable heart shaped sling bag and retro a-go-go style earrings (new-old stock)! Colours and designs will be given out at random.**Please note that winners are to collect the items from MyJotterBook’s store directly.**

Plane Awesome Experience with Scoot and Golden Village

July 27, 2013 by Regina Chow No Comments
Did you know that Scoot is the only low cost carrier that flies to Seoul? In fact, Scoot now flies to Seoul 3 times a week!
 Thank you Scoot, for flying me to Seoul to catch the Asian Premiere of ‘The Wolverine’!
I
had a very comfortable inflight experience because the kind folks at
Scoot put us on their Super Seats on our flight to Seoul and ScootBiz on
our return flight to Singapore.
One of the key advantages of flying with Scoot is definitely the large, comfy seats and spacious leg room. Unlike typical low cost carriers with cramped seats and barely any legroom, Scoot’s Standard Economy Seats (Blue) are larger than all other carriers’ seats, including full-service carriers.
If you desire more leg room, you can also opt for their Super Seats (Yellow), like I did, nearer the front of the cabin, which give you up to 35″ of legroom.
For even more legroom, you can consider the Stretch Seats (Yellow) located at the bulkheads and by the doors, which offer at least 35″ of legroom and no seats in front of you. A small fee (less than $100) is all it takes for you to enjoy additional comfort!
Comfortable Super Seats on Scoot
I tend to get restless on flights that are longer than 4 hours as my muscles start to ache but Grace and I both agreed that the Super Seats on Scoot are extremely comfortable despite the long journey to Seoul. I for one, slept like a baby most of the time.
And nope, I didn’t get any muscle aches or neck aches at all.
Lots of legroom!! It’s amazing how spacious it is.
Everyone loves to travel in style, and with ScootBiz, you can do just that at a fraction of the cost that you’ll expect to pay on full-service carriers.
ScootBiz

 

I was already very satisfied with the Super Seats in Economy Class, but ScootBiz’s luxurious full leather seats with at least 38″ of legroom and 8″ of recline blew me away.
I could extend my legs fully!
Full leather seats and maximum leg room
 Our return flight was a red-eye flight, and I had to return to office immediately after touchdown at 630am for meetings. If not for the comfortable plane ride, I would have succumbed to fatigue. Thumbs up for ScootBiz!
Here are the other privileges that you’ll enjoy on ScootBiz:
  • Preferred seat selection in an exclusive 32-seat upfront cabin, with their most experienced staff
  • A complimentary meal with beverages
  • 20kg of checked baggage allowance
  • Up to 15kg/ two bags of carry-on baggage
  • Priority boarding
  • ScooTV in-flight entertainment streamed to your own device
  • Request a free access code from the crew and remember to bring your own laptop or tablet*. If you have an iPad, download the Gogo Video Plugin before your flight. On multi-sector journeys, ScooTV access codes will be given out on a per sector basis.
  • In-seat power
  • Fast-track check-in at Scoot’s dedicated ScootBiz counter
  • Flexibility to change name, date, time, origin and destination of
    your booking up till 2 days before departure* (change fees & fare
    top-ups apply).
 The great thing about Scoot is, you only pay for what you need for every flight that you book. Scoot bundles the most common options for you to choose from and you’ll enjoy bundle discounts too.
If you prefer to travel without check-in luggage, Fly is the best option for you.

 

 

To add on 15kg check-in luggage, opt for FlyBag, which is cheaper than what you have to pay if you were to purchase an air ticket (without baggage) and top up for baggage separately.

 

I always get hungry on flights and I honestly can’t survive without food for more than 3 hours. If you’re like me, then the FlyBagEat option would serve you well.
This is what a complete set meal looks like. I’m usually not a fan of airline food, but I would highly recommend the soy sauce chicken rice if you take Scoot. It was so sumptuous and flavourful that I devoured every last morsel.
Soy Sauce Chicken Rice Meal
I also got to try the Moroccan Chicken meal, which was rather yummy too.
Moroccan Chicken Meal

**********
I’ve never been on a flight where the crew plays games or jokes with the passengers on board, so I was pretty excited when Scoot and GV Movie Club told us that they would be springing a surprise Wolverine Q&A contest on the passengers mid-way through our flight to Seoul after a quick transit at Taipei.
 DJs Jean Danker and Lim Peifen took over the airwaves spontaneously and it was actually somewhat comforting to hear their soothing, familiar voices in a foreign land.
Jean Danker
Lim Peifen
By participating in the contest, passengers would stand to win the following prizes:
1) The Wolverine movie poster
2) S$50 Scoot voucher
3) Scoot Blanket
4) GV Mr Popcorn Plush Toy
The contest was held close to bed time, but check out how bright and cheery everyone looked. Everyone was fired with enthusiasm and their eyes were shining with excitement.
You can see how happy this lucky winner was when Jason handed the prizes over to him. He was literally beaming with joy. In case you were wondering, he was holding up the mascot for GV Movie Club, Mr Popcorn!
There were 5 lucky winners in total, of which 2 also won a pair of tickets to The Wolverine Fans Screening and got to meet Hugh Jackman himself.
To determine the 2 grand prize winners, a card was drawn by each of the 5 winners.

 

Watching movies is an activity that ranks high on the usual list of hobbies for most Singaporeans. If you like to watch movies, you should register to be part of the GV Movie Club.
Registration is absolutely free!
Here are just some of the perks that you will enjoy:

1) $6.50 movie tickets every Tuesday
2) Complimentary Gold Class Ticket/Standard movie tickets for top spenders every month
3) Invitations to Gala Premieres


Like Mr Popcorn on Facebook to be updated on GV Movie Club Giveaways and stand to win movie tickets as well as exclusive invites to Gala Premieres!

Vanity Trove April Edition and Giveaway!

April 18, 2013 by Regina Chow 3 Comments
I’ve been thinking of trying out Vanity Trove for the longest time and was absolutely thrilled when Camy from Vanity Trove very kindly sent the April Edition over!
I’m sure most of you know what Vanity Trove is, but for the benefit of those who have not been introduced to its concept yet, I will give you all the details.
 
Vanity Trove is a subscription based platform for you to try out new beauty
products every month. Upon subscribing, you’ll receive a box chock full of various beauty
products in trial or even full size delivered right to your doorstep once a month! 
I personally think that this is the best way for
testing out new products before buying the full size ones and you get to try a myriad of brands at a fraction of the cost! Honestly, what’s there not to love? 🙂
Now, let’s take a look at what the April Edition of Vanity Trove offers, shall we?
April’s Edition comes complete with Elizabeth Arden’s Visible Whitening Range as well as products from popular Japanese brand Dr C: Labo.
Specially formulated for and tested on Asian skin, Elizabeth Arden’s Visible Whitening range is designed to prevent melanin production and reduce pigmentation to ensure that your skin is brighter and more radiant than before.
Visible Whitening Smoothing Cleanser
 The enzymatic micro-beads in this cleanser gently removes dead surface cells and evens out your skin tone by reducing the appearance of sun spots.
Visible Whitening Melanin Control Night Capsules
If you are concerned about pigmentation, you may also wish to try out the Melanin Control Night Capsules which deliver potent natural hop extract to inhibit melanin formation at every stage as well as minimize the appearance of pigmentation. The powerful botanicals, vitamin C derivative and environmental protectants not only battle against the harmful effects of pollution, but also support the skin’s natural collagen and elastin matrix. 
The end result? You’ll get brighter, smoother skin!
Visible Whitening Multi-targeted UV shield BB Cream SPF 30 PA++ 
We all know the importance of using sunscreen, especially in sunny Singapore. What I like about this BB cream is that it provides ample sun protection, hydrates as well as brightens your skin. The anti-aging technology also serves to prevent the appearance of discolorations and fine lines, giving you beautiful, glowing skin.
I have heard rave reviews about Dr Ci: Labo’s products, which are made of natural ingredients and are paraben free! That explains why I was especially excited to see its star product, the Aqua-Collagen-Gel, in this month’s edition of Vanity Trove.
Touted as the simplest skincare, the Aqua-Collagen-Gel sold over 23 million jars worldwide thanks to its wonderful multi-tasking capabilities. You’ll receive the benefits of 6 products (Toner, Milky lotion, Beauty essence, Facial mask, Facial cream, and Makeup base), all in just one little jar. That sure saves us a lot of time and cost!
Visit Vanity Trove’s website and subscribe for your monthly box of goodies HERE!

GIVEAWAY TIME!
Have you joined my International Giveaway? I have decided to extend the deadline for another week, and to sweeten the deal, I’m going to give away a stash of brand new beauty products to all my local readers who participate in this giveaway!
Yes, you heard right! 1 lucky Singapore reader will also stand to walk away with all these products, in addition to Nail Vibe’s discount voucher! 
If the response is good, I will add even more items to this giveaway!

1. Vanity Trove Box April Edition
If you like what you see in my review above, this is good news for you. I’m giving away a brand new box so you can try out the products for yourself. 🙂
2. Laniege White Plus Renew Trial Set


 Here’s another set of whitening products to combat melanin production and block out the sun’s harmful rays!
These are the products that you will be receiving:
3. DHC Mild Lotion and DHC Collagen Pills

 
I’m taking DHC’s collagen powder currently and I thought I would share the love here by giving you a brand new pack of collagen pills!
4. Hair Curlers
I have been receiving queries on how I curl my hair recently, and truth be told, the secret  lies in these sponge hair curlers. The curlers are made entirely out of sponge and are pretty soft so you can actually sleep with them on. I’m giving away a set of 4 for you to try them out too! 😀
 I had my hair permed in Jan 2013, but the perm is fast wearing off and these sponge curlers are the only reason why I can still achieve bouncy curls! I typically start rolling my hair with these curlers after washing my hair, when my hair is about 80-90% dry. Then, I jump into bed, drift into slumberland and when the next morning arrives, this is what my hair looks like:

Amazing right? The curls last the entire day and I don’t need any styling products at all. 🙂

Now, here’s a quick recap of what you have to do to receive all these goodies:

1. Follow me @reginachow_sg on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook 
(The more platforms you follow, the higher your chances!)




2. Follow @NailVibeSG on Instagram




3. Register as a user on Nailvibe.com
Remember to contact me via Facebook or e-mail me at regina.chow@gmail.com to let me know when you’ve done all of the above!
(Please note that for the purpose of this giveaway, I would have to meet up with the winner as there are too many bulky items.)

About Me

Hi! My name is Regina and I am a style, beauty and travel enthusiast who enjoys writing, photography and letting my creative juices flow.

My blogging journey has been nothing short of exciting. I was recently named the winner of Her World Magazine’s Estee Lauder Style Superstar Awards 2016. My blog was also awarded Best Fashion Blog (Grand Winner) at the Singapore Blog Awards 2014. The year before that, it won Best Online Shopping Blog at the Singapore Blog Awards 2013.

Additionally, it is listed as one of the 10 interesting blogs on Singapore by AsiaWeb Direct (http://www-singapore.com/blogs.htm). I was also featured on both local and international mainstream media for my views on style, fashion and online shopping:

The Straits Times (14 Oct 2014)

The Business Times (14 Oct 2014)

My Paper (13 Oct 2014)

CNBC ("Pricey Singapore: Savvy shoppers go online" - 28 Dec 2014)

For advertorials/partnerships, feel free to contact me at regina.chow@gmail.com.

Thank you!
