Sun protection isn’t just suncream

I am very proud to be supporting my friend Fiona Argyle in her quest to save our skins. Global Babe was born in Singapore by formally launched a year ago from her little stall at the famous Saint-Tropez market in the tree-lined Place des Lices. Her ‘strong hats’, as they are called, sold like hot cakes.

Wide brimmed and floppily fantastic they not only embody Saint-Trop chic but they do a darn good job of protecting your face (and shoulders and décolleté) from the sun which, sadly and very scarily, suncream does not do alone.

Changmoh Stays: LLoyd’s Inn

By Changmoh • Wednesday, 28 January 2015 • Day Trips, Hotels & Places to Stay, Lobang City Guides, My Edits, Travel

Its not often I am asked on a staycation by anyone other than Mr Changmoh, (and even that’s a rarity) so when Lloyd’s Inn asked me to come and road test their sleek, chic boutique hotel one night last week, I was thrilled. In part because I am on this wretchedly hard, very healthy, clean and lean diet (green veg plus meat/fish/shellfish for one whole month) and a night away makes A. Very. Tough. Week. One. slip by just a mite faster. And secondly, who doesn’t like a night away?

I think I am not alone when I say that before my invite, I hadn’t heard of Lloyd’s Inn.

At a glance these two things don’t have a huge amount in common. Well, nothing at all in fact…until today.

I drove Mr Changmoh’s old red merc (which goes by the name of Ariel) to a shoot this morning at a Tanamera-style black and white house that makes me want to ditch my suburban existence and never look back:

The stealth flip flop

By Changmoh • Monday, 19 January 2015 • Fash, My Edits

I hate myself when I am wearing flip flops. I walk lazily, stand lazily and, in general, feel that I shuffle along in a fashion not dissimilar to an old uncle at a wet market on his way to buy chwee kueh.

Well…get this. These babies (pictured) are indeed flip flops but so heavily disguised that you instantly feel better, walk better and look better.

Floatation therapy and why you should try it

By Changmoh • Tuesday, 13 January 2015 • Beauty, Health & Fitness, My Holidays

I have always wondered what it would be like inside a floatation tank. The very fact that one hour’s float is the equivalent to four hours’ deep sleep is enough to appeal to almost everyone I know.
