Review: The Wellness Insider Subscription Box

Leave a Comment

Hello beautiful girls,

Today I would like to share about a new subscription box health-conscious peeps might be interested in. It’s called the ‘Wellness Box’! Curated by The Wellness Insider, it is your secret partner in the journey to a healthy lifestyle, quietly supporting you on the side with surprises and treats.

Wellness Subscription Box with a social cause

At just $20/month, you will received a box valued at over $150. It is available at the Wellness Store and can be unsubscribed at any time. The good thing about this box is that it is done in partnership with a social enterprise, which means that part of the profits are donated to charity! 6% of your total spending is donated to Animals Lovers League and Down Syndrome Association (Singapore), and that makes shopping meaningful.

Every 15th of the month, the box is couriered to your doorstep, containing wellness goodies from the following categories:

  • Food
  • Fitness
  • Beauty

Your box will be personalised after 3 months of getting boxes in each category. After 3 months, you will do a survey and your preferences will be go into customising your subsequent Wellness Boxes. I’m sharing a peek of the July/August 2017 general mixed-category box.

I’m loving the food category!

This month’s box contains several coconut-based products to ensure you get well-nourished with ample vitamins.

An overview of the box shows a full-sized drink, a couple of sample-sized food products, sample-sized beauty products, and tons of discount vouchers. The discount vouchers are for beauty treatments like manicures/pedicures and spa treatments, which I probably won’t be using.

For me, I was instantly attracted to the food products. Haha I may be skinny but I am a glutton in disguise! Even so, there are still ways to eat healthy :)

COCOMAX is made from 100% Thai coconut water with no sugar added. With 5 natural electrolytes – Potassium, Sodium, Magnesium, Phosphorus, and Calcium – it hydrates and freshens up your body better than plain water.

I have no qualms with eating brown or red rice, so this sample-sized Naturel Organic Hom Mali Mixed Brown and Red rice is a pleasant welcome. I’m imagining rice with pan-fried salmon, and garlic stir-fried broccoli florets. Yum!

There’s also Coco Veda Coconut Sap Sugar. It has a low Glycemic Index (GI), making it a good alternative to artificial sweeteners for diabetics. The sugar also has a natural flavour that adds a deep caramelised taste to any beverage or food.

Here I had it with my cold brew chamomile tea! Coco Veda’s products will be available in the Wellness Store real soon. :)

I think it’s really great to have healthy alternatives sent to your doorstep every month. The surprise factor motivates you to keep on track with your fitness targets and goals. For example, I would reward myself with COCOMAX after an evening run, or start my day right with Coco Veda Coconut Sap Sugar in my morning English Breakfast tea. And needless to say, the Naturel Organic Brown/Red rice will be perfect for a low-fat, low in sodium, home-cooked lunch. Thank you Wellness Insider!

[Media Invite] Where to get Party Poppers in Singapore?

Leave a Comment

Hello guys!

I attended Party Popper Singapore media launch last Saturday afternoon. Held at BackStage Cafe in Kallang, it was a cozy affair with a bunch of familiar faces and new blogger friends made! I was also amazed at the types and variety of party poppers there are!! I’ve made a quick video montage of what happened, check it out! :)

So much confetti!

Attending the event totally changed my mind about party poppers. I am someone who is very afraid of sudden loud sounds near me, and balloon bursting in a confined space is the worst. At first I was really scared of handling the poppers, but then with Celeste, Kenny, and Jiahui’s encouragement, I decided I can’t miss the chance to take pretty confetti photos. Haha anything for nice photos right?

After popping my first popper with them, I realised that it really isn’t that scary. This is because you’re the one in control, and you know when you’re going to “press that button”. I even gained enough courage to do it on my own several more times afterwards. It was so adrenaline-pumping! :D

Lion dance to welcome good fortune

The event start with a big bang! Lion dance performances are traditionally organised at launch of new businesses and Chinese New Year to welcome good fortune and wealth. The lettuce and oranges thrown out by the lions are a symbol of luck which is why they are scattered all around to bless the place or business. As I was standing very near to the lions, I got hit by an orange in the face, which means I am going to be extremely lucky for the rest of the year!? Hahaha.

Largest variety of poppers in Singapore at lowest prices

Party Popper Singapore’s founder, Marcus Poh, shared that in the beginning, they only brought in 5 types of party poppers. But as demand grew, and requests for special types of poppers came in, the company took to the task to source for more variety of poppers. Not only that, they also continually improve the quality of their popper pumps, and the quantity of confetti in each popper.

Now, Party Popper Singapore has the widest range of party poppers in Singapore. They have Flower petals, US Dollar Mini Notes confetti, Heart-Shaped confetti, and even the super popular 三生三世里桃花 Blossom confetti! They are also going to be launching personalised party poppers for wedding customisation needs. All I can say is, there is a popper for every occasion. Some customers even buy blue or pink poppers to announce the gender of babies at baby showers. :)

Besides that, they offer competitive prices as they bring in poppers in large quantities, so you can be assured that you are getting the best deal in the market.

The poppers are easy to use and so much fun

The poppers come in tubes and to pop them, simply hold the tube with both hands and twist. Much like how you’d wring a wet towel. It was rather fool-proof and safe to use, just make sure not to point it directly at someone! Some have buttons and all you need to do is release a safety catch and “press the red button”. My favourites are the Heart-Shape confetti and Golden Flakes strip confetti.

Shihui, Dee, Jiahui, me, Celeste, and Kenny launched our poppers all together, creating a huge rain of confetti!

Looking at how high everyone was, I would say that party poppers are really a great way to inject excitement, joy and laughter to your special occasions. Thank you Party Popper Singapore for inviting me to join in this celebration, I had such a wonderful time! :D
