Fixing a Broken Palette

By lovelynettetan | November 13, 2017

I love my eye-makeup!! There’s this new makeup repair kit in town called Moon Mousse. Yup! I know it sounds incredible but I’ve watched several videos that really show how our broken eye shadows, highlighters, blushers, bronzers and pressed powders can be put back together again, pretty much like Humpty Dumpty! Ha! But back in…

My Crowning Glory

By lovelynettetan | October 31, 2017

Truth be told. I’m terrified of aging too! As my 42nd birthday draws near, I can’t help but feel a deep despondency and despair that I haven’t been able to make time standstill once more. But then again, who can? So as it rolls around again, I’m even more determined to delay the ravages of…

Toxic Facts about Microblading

By lovelynettetan | October 23, 2017

Shu Uemura Hard 9 pencil for my brows Microblading seems to be the buzzword of the day. More commonly known as embroidery or feathering or microstroking, they’re by and large fanciful variations of the same thing – tattooing – the “ancient art” of cutting the skin and inking it afterwards. Now, just to be clear.…

Looking Good, Naturally!

By lovelynettetan | October 16, 2017

  I had an interesting conversation with a girlfriend last Friday. And the only reason why I feel led to share this juicy bit is because I have an inkling that what she hinted at, in all probability, echoes your innermost thoughts too. I was telling her that I was gonna be the brand ambassador…

That Old Groat!

By lovelynettetan | October 12, 2017

Motivational speaker Joel Osteen would sometimes joke about the “old goat” referring to a long time spouse walking out on a marriage, leaving for someone younger. Without trivalising the pain of abandonment, the old goat – the one leaving – doesn’t deserve your love and affection, at all! But jokes aside, it’s easy to take…

I Steel Love U!

By lovelynettetan | October 2, 2017

I must admit.    It took us a long time to accept that we were different – he had a sweet tooth and I didn’t.    Like how most couples begin, we were just so nice, so lovely, so sweet to each other. We would do anything and ate everything we could to please the…

Man of Steel Too

By lovelynettetan | September 25, 2017

If you’ve been reading my blog, you’ll realise that I’ve cut out carbs from my diet a long time ago. And I’m not about to reintroduce it back in any way, form or fashion. I’m again suggesting that if you find it challenging to give up carbs, there are more nutritious, healthful alternatives that you…

Woman of Steel

By lovelynettetan | September 22, 2017

I first came across the term “steel cut oats” in the book Smart Fat by Steven Masley and Johnny Bowden and that really got me wondering about oats in general. To my mind, there was only Quaker Oats – the instant one and the not-so-instant one. Mostly flat. It didn’t occur to me that oats…

Remembering Phil

By lynettetanblogs | March 14, 2017

The last ten days went by just like that, in a blink of an eye. We thought we couldn’t make it. But we did, eventually. We had volunteered to be homestay hosts for foreign delegates who prefer to stay with local families for the upcoming Kingdom Invasion Conference, back for its fifth run. At the…

When Food Takes Centrestage

By lovelynettetan | March 7, 2017

I dunno about you but my husband and I used to spend a lot of money on food, and not all of it was nutritious. I’m not sure if it’s because of our keen sense of adventure – to wanna taste-test those fancy culinary creations or was it more because we wanted to keep up with the Joneses. And…
