Image may contain: flower, candles and plant

The History of Whoo a premium and prestigious skincare made using ingredients that 
has been used by the Korean royals centuries ago and which are exclusively for those 
who are serious about taking care of their beauty and willing to invest in being fair and
 lovely, because, yes, they definitely are pricey, but I am thinking it is pretty worth it as 
you will only be using a little bit of this cream and it will last you 3-4 months at least..…
(Oh wow.. what a long sentence....)

The essence of sexism has spread its wings even on the sphere of fiction writing where women are considered "tourists" in the world of fiction novels and fantasy stories. Unaware, we prefer to read major genres of books written by men.


This is probably an effect caused by some prejudices that have been developing over the years which gives an impression that romance and love stories are women’s work (written for housewives and little girls, of course).

Using minimalist design to maximize limited spaces in Singapore

We’d all like to have a place to call our own. But space – or the lack of it – is fast becoming an issue, particularly in major cities. If you don’t intend to have the traditional home design, the kind you fill up with creative or futuristic furniture, and fantasy-themed bedrooms, then you can try the minimalistic design style. This works perfectly when it comes to the small homes in Singapore such as the HDB in Toa Payoh.



Minimalism is a style that can make an interior design look comfortable, modern and convenient. And of course, all of these features can be achieved with minimal use of furniture and accessories.
