Chic Stash – Secondhand Style Goes Online

**Chic Stash are offering changmoh readers a $15 discount off any $100 purchase between now and the end of September. Just enter the discount code ‘changmohgirl’ when you check out **

I love a spot of eBay shopping. There one problem with living in Singapore is that ebay.com.sg is hardly used by anyone and any eBaying I do is on the UK site (which I usually start doing in earnest a month or two before my darling Ma comes to stay so she can kindly lug it all over for me).

Anyway – for those who share a passion for online shopping and never say no to tip-top quality secondhand bags, clothes and even shoes – think hardly worn Gucci heels at 70% off – ChicStash has arrived in SG.

My Edit: Pinwheel Jewels

By Changmoh • Monday, 26 August 2013 • Fash, More Dash than Cash, My Edits, Online Shopping

I love a spot of online shopping. I miss that here in Singapore, online boutiques are still very few and far between. The idea of being able to jump on your computer and order beautiful things at a time when most shops are closed and you’re in your pajamas may not be your style, but I have to confess than on some nights I can think of nothing nicer.

Cue Pinwheel Jewels which is totally and utterly online, has customer service down to a T (free postage, don’t like it when it arrives? Send it back for free for a full refund etc) and – most importantly of all – sells the sort of jewellery that I love. Read More

Pilates for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

By Changmoh • Friday, 23 August 2013 • Health & Fitness

For the avoidance of doubt, no, that image directly above is not me. The main problem with doing daily pilates classes – apart from struggling with most of the poses – is that I spend most of my time panicking that I’ve forgotten to shave my armpits. It’s something I generally do do every morning, but it’s not often that I am tested on it to this extent.

The other problem is that what looks extremely easy to do, is as actually bloody tricky. Read More

The Merits of…um…Astro Turf

By Changmoh • Tuesday, 20 August 2013 • Doggy Stuff, House & Home

My garden has two major drawbacks. Firstly, a good part of it is taken up by a steep grassy slope, perfect for sledging if only it snowed here (when global warming truly takes its grip though, we’ll be ready!) and secondly, it has a stretch of very ugly parking slabs right next to the front door.

I have tried – lamely – to convince people they’re really grass by painting them green, Hong Kong ‘park’ style, but let’s face it, I’m not fooling anyone (see pic above). Read More

Breakfast Power Smoothie

By Changmoh • Saturday, 17 August 2013 • Food & Drink, Health & Fitness, Recipes

Now that my month long pilates challenge is finally underway – I’ve gone five times this week, with another three weeks of hour long daily classes still to go – I find that I really need a sustaining breakfast, but equally don’t want to scoff down anything too heavy.

Whilst reading through the usual glut of daily emails I get from the various blogs I subscribe to, I came across this recipe for an organic, uber healthy shake, devised by fashion director Ursula Lake (of NeverUnderDressed & owner of swimwear line Violet Lake) and decided to give it a whirl.
