How to Take the Perfect Selfie (Hair Tips) | ChicPeek Ep 44

Ah. The age of the #selfie. These days, being able to look good in selfies is (almost) as important as looking good in real life – we’re in this time where if it’s not posted and people can’t see/like it, it isn’t REAL.

Potential employers now review social media accounts before hiring – so how you present yourself is crucial! A flattering profile photo can give your social life a boost as well (think dating apps). In this day and age, there’s no doubt that having a great profile picture is a real advantage in life.

Of course there’s things like finding your best angle, getting the lighting right and makeup that looks best in photos are important, but what about your hair? Hair frames your face and can make the difference between a good picture and a great one, so with some tips from blogger, Eunice Annabel and her gorgeous head of hair (and her beautiful selfies – I’m a fan!), learn to use your crowning glory to capture the best version of yourself.

But first, let me take a selfie.

With special thanks to guest star Eunice Annabel for her time & tips.

Thanks also to Gerard of Shunji Matsuo Hair Studio for styling both Jade & Eunice’s hair.

Jade Seah Full House Tour | ChicPeek Ep 42

Welcome to my home – again! You saw it before (in case you didn’t, check it out in its pre-renovation state here), and this time, you get to see it all dressed and done up.

This project took almost a year to complete as there was major renovation work to be done. A loft level was built from scratch; the piping had to be re-done; many electrical points were out of whack, plus old pieces of furniture (some call them junk) had to be restored, and still other pieces were lovingly sourced and shipped back from all over the world. Then there was major unpacking and arranging – special thanks to my partner for doing most of that!

International Pillow Fight Day 2014 (Singapore, Haji Lane)

International Pillow Fight Day happened on 5th April, and Singapore held it’s own edition of it along Haji Lane. I went down hoping to have a good time (albeit with some apprehension, I admit). I certainly didn’t expect the mayhem and the kind of crazy fun we all had that day – having a go at complete strangers like children; laughing and shrieking like a mad person till I got a mild asthma attack; feathers flying all over Haji Lane. Made some new friends, shared many laughs, and had an altogether great time. My birthday was the next day on the 6th, and this was the perfect pre-party.

Thanks everyone for the fun!

Slouchy

It’s been so warm lately here in Singapore! Not complaining (well, not really) as at we’ve had some rain and the haze is no longer a huge problem (till the full wave comes mid-year *gulp*). When I look at my photos from my travels to places like the US when it was cold there, I am especially grateful for the eternal summer situation we have here in the tropics. Sure, you can’t layer as much, and my favourite beanies don’t get to see a lot of wear time, but I’ll take the warmth and sunshine; being able to run out in shorts and a singlet; supple skin that’s not parched from the cold; days spent hanging at the beach – over that any day.

That said, here’s one of my slouchy get-ups from NYC in spring when it was finally starting to get a little warmer. This was in front of the Roman Catholic church, St Peter’s, in the Tribeca area where I stayed. I attended mass here the whole time I was there, and I liked how the priest was very inclusive – he made it a point to welcome everyone and to make mention of the fact that regardless of race, nationality, financial situation and sexual orientation, all were welcome and encouraged to come seek peace and solace there. =)
