Her Changing Room

Every woman's dream is to have an unlimited supply of clothes, however due to time and money constraints, most of us have to rewear our outfits!

Another scenario would be that we only wear our clothes once or twice and never wear them again. For me, I have this problem and I ended up selling clothes that I bought at high prices for only $1 or $2 at fleas, which was such a pain for me but I had no choice due to limited space in my wardrobe.

So, when Her Changing Room contacted me to join their ambassador contest, I was delighted.

In case you are thinking that Her Changing Room is just another typical online fashion store, let me share with you the whole new concept about it! 

"Her changing room is an e-commerce styling company providing a rental subscription service to the trendiest piece of the season"

For the contest, I had to attend a photoshoot with Her Changing Room 

With the other fashionistas

So, how does Her Changing Room work?

First, register for an account at the website!  Herchangingroom.com

After filling in the details, you will be required to answer a short questionnaire on your personal style for the stylist of Her Changing Room to know you better!

No worries, signing up is free and there is absolutely no commitments!

After answering the questionnaire, you will be redirected to main site where you can browse through many of the different apparels. 

If a particular apparel caught your eye, you can click on its very own 'like' button. 

Her Changing Room 's fashion stylist will look at your likes to personally style you should you subscribe to them!

Subscription is only by invitation*

Not to worry, HCR understands that we change our fashion style once in a while and hence, we can always remove outfits that we 'liked' before and like new ones! 

Once you're ready to subscribe, you can click on "REQUEST INVITATION" button on the top right hand corner of the website to indicate your interest and HCR will send you your first box! 

In each box, there will be 3 apparels and 2 accessories! 

Subscription price starts at $24.90/week(5 working days) and $79.90/month!

Once you are a subscriber,  your HCR Box will be delivered within 3 working days. After you are done with your box, just go to your account and click on the 'Ready for collection' button. The old box will then be exchanged for a new one!

You can do this as many times as you want for the whole period of subscription! 

Two way Free shipping is also provided!!

Here are the three apparels in my first box:

1. Leather Trim Dress

Leather Trim Dress by Donya Vogue

If you really really adore a piece of clothing, you can also purchase it from the website.

A brand new piece will be sent to you in the next delivery. This way, you can be sure that the piece really suits you because you get to try it already.

Furthermore, by being a subscriber, you get to purchase the clothings at a special rate! Take for example this leather trim dress, by being a subscriber, you get to $8 off the original price! 

My second piece from the box would be this Flos Fiona Two Piece Set by Raviezra! 

I styled this piece with a sparkly gemstone cuff found in the box!

My last piece of clothing in the first box would be Sixth Avenir Arctic Bermudas by HCR!

This piece goes well with the white blouses in my wardrobe and is a piece that is suitable for both play and school! 

Even though I had the box for only about 4 days, I managed to wear this piece out twice to USS and school!

Then, I returned my first box in exchange for my second one!

At this point, you must be thinking, am I wearing clothes that others have worn and is it hygienic? 

Technically, you are wearing clothes that others have worn but not to worry, each piece is sent to thorough cleaning plus disinfection and are checked thoroughly before being sent out! 

This time, some of the pieces I received are: 

Breezy Summer Floral Dress, Vintage La Vie En Rose Top, Floral with Crochet Detailing Crop Cami by Raviezra.

Breezy Summer Floral Dress

If you've been following me, you would know that I absolutely adore floral pieces.

Florals are something that will never go out of trend and are always on top of the fashion trends!

Hence, I was elated when I receieved my box! 

With HerChangingRoom, choosing my everyday outfit takes lesser than a minute everyday now because I'm not afraid of wearing the same outfit and only have to choose beween 3 apparels each time. The fast delivery also made the whole exchanging process convenient and hassle free! 

Vintage La Vie En Rose Top

HCR also collaborates with various other brands to give the subscribers the best experience!

Some of the brands that are currently collaborating with HCR are: 

·      Eureka Jewellery

·      Sovelle

Soteria Singapore

Some time ago, Engel, the lady boss of Soteria Face & Nail / Soteria Hair studio invited me over to try out their service!

I had the luxury of choosing from facial/manicure/pedicure/hair smoothening or hair scalp treatment!

After much thoughts, I decided to go for the hair scalp treatment because the amount of hair I find in my comb always scares me! 

I was first given a scalp massage then my stylist applied a nourishing ampoule for me!

Massaging in the ampoule

After massaging in the ampoule, a hair mask was applied to my scalp.

A cooling sensation was immediately felt! 

This indicates that the mask was doing its job to increase blood circulation in my scalp to stimulate hair growth! By increasing blood flow to my scalp, the fine capillaries in my scalp are dilated, allowing more supply of nutrients and energy the hair matrix.

The hair root was also stimulated to promote more hair growth!

Balloon head :b

After about 20-30 minutes, I was done with my hair mask!

My stylist then head on to temporarily curl my hair for a more finished look!

Thank you Soteria for this wonderful experience!

Having won 2014/15 SME Asia Award, 2014 Asia Pacific Brands Award and several more, you can definitely trust Soteria with your beauty routines!

Pink Parlour//Buy 1 Free 1 Promo//My first Brazillian

If you haven't read about my post on my first leg waxing experience, click here!

So I headed to Pink Parlour for the second time! This time, I tried out my first brazillian waxing! 

If you don't know what is brazilian waxing, here's Wikipedia's explaination about it! 

To be honest, I was rather afraid that it would be awkward and painful since the brazillian area is very sensitive.

To start off, the friendly consultant led me to the room then I had to go to the toilet to do some washing first.

Yeap, you've guessed it right. The toilet was in a pretty shade of pink as well.

♥

Overall,  the procedure was quick and the pain level was about 3/10, which is considered very good for the brazilian area. I've tried tweezing hairs from the area before and the pain was so unbearable. Hence, I'm glad that waxing was not as painful! It was not as awkward as I thought it would be as my consultant was very friendly and kept checking with me whether I felt alright with the wax temperature etc.

"All equipment is highly sterilized before and after every single treatment too. Each set of scissors, tweezers, pushers and cutters are meticulously cleaned and soaked in sanitizing alcohol and hospital grade disinfectants for over 5 minutes to eliminate most germs and viruses. Tools are then carefully packed into individual sterilization pouches for safety, and then stored in our UV lamp cabinets for further sterilization. These are opened only in front of you to assure you that we only deliver the safest, cleanest and the best service for you." 

While doing my treatment, I witnessed the tweezers being packed in individual packets and I'm glad to be in good hands! 

Here are some myths about Brazilian waxing! I currently take haircare module from my diploma and below are some of my thoughts with a bit of humble knowledge on these myths!

Myth #1: Hair will grow back thicker and coarser after waxing
Nope, hairs do not grow back thicker, nor does it grow back coarser. When hairs are removed from its root, a new hair will grow out from the follicle. It will either look the same as the previous strand, or look slightly thinner!

Myth #2: Is brazilian waxing painful?
As much as I would like to say it is totally painless, I must say there is still certain levels of discomfort, but I personally feel that its much better than other types of hair removing(from the root) method. I've previously tried epilating and tweezing but waxing causes the least discomfort.

Myth #3: The wax is hot enough to kill any bacteria
This is a big no no! Double dipping will cause transfer of bacteria into the wax and the bacteria will remain in the wax. I'm sure no one one else wants to use the same wax that you used!

For hygiene purposes, Pink parlour is very particular about the 'no double dipping' and 'no reusing of spatula' rule. 

This practice eliminates any possible contamination in the wax pots. Waxes are heated to its maximum temperature at least once a day eliminating any possibility of residual bacteria.

With Kana, my consultant!

I also had my legs waxed a few days after but I'll blog about my experience as one because I went back another day as Pink Parlour was fully booked on the day I did my Brazilian wax and I could not fit in another treatment. 

I took the photos of my leg under the same lighting, at the same location with the same camera settings to ensure that the photos are fair for judgement of the treatment! 

As seen from the photos, the main differences were that my hairs were gone and that my skin became brighter and smoother!! :)

It's my second time getting my legs waxed in my entire life and I'm not regretting the decision:)

Get Silky smooth with Pink Parlour now!

With ChiewXuan

Other than the treatment rooms, they actually have a waiting area for your friends to sit at! Sadly, I was too excited for the treatment and didn't see the chair(despite walking pass it). Hence, poor chiewxuan had to be in the same room while I did my treatment when she could have been chilling on the chair.

Thanks for your company!
