Just when Fred & I were running out of ideas of things to do together, Reebonz City put together a mix of features and sent us on a Couple Therapy date! It couldn't have been more timely and we had a really good time bonding over a spa session, lunch, and an art class.
Our date started off at Essence Vale Spa, a centre that specializes in aroma therapy. We were scheduled for a body scrub and massage!
We first had our feet soaked in eucalyptus oil, then our bodies scrubbed clean with a passionfruit & grape seed body scrub, and it followed with an hour-long massage with rose petal & grapeseed oil. Loved that the massage bed was heated and that there weren't any clocks in the room. Haha it's my pet peeve to have clocks ticking away in any therapy room; not only does the ticking get amplified in the silence, it also constantly reminds you of the time, doesn't it?

All rejuvenated, we moved on to have lunch at Gaia Ristorante & Bar, situated at Goodwood Park Hotel.
Beautiful setting at the recently-opened restaurant! We had our meal at the Main Dining Area and boy did we feel under-dressed! Thankfully we were there for lunch ;)
Teehee, fooling around while waiting for lunch to be served ;)
The meal started with their house specialty - Buffalo Milk Mozzarella, paired with a serving of Parma Ham. The mozzarella was sinfully rich and very different from the usual mozzarella I always have, but it went really well with the ham. We also had a portion of the Italian version of the Onion Soup, which was less heavy than the French's.
The mains they recommended were soooooo goood we immediately regretted stuffing our faces with too much starters! I had the Venezia Risotto - carnaroli rice with fresh squid, scallops, baby lobster and sea bass simmered in squid ink and topped with 'Cigliegino' cherry tomatoes. Don't be deceived by the looks of it cos it was seriously good! Fred had the Fettucine Coe E Moeche - homemade tagliatelle pasta with soft shell crab and fresh chopped parsley and tomato sauce and that was really tasty too. We decided that we'll definitely go back to have their pasta again! ;)
The Flan Di Cioccolato for dessert. Freshly baked, we had to wait a good 15mins for it to be served! And all happy after lunch, we moved on to our last and most interesting stop!
Tucked at a corner of an industrial area is Clay Street, a pottery studio! Fred & I have never gone for any classes together, let alone an art class, so this was definitely the icing to the cake :)
Mr Choo teaching us the basics of the 'pinching' method for pottery!
Us hard at work ;)
And voila! Our finished art works! :D Not only did we pick up a new skill, we also learnt new things about each other during this short one-hour lesson. Definitely a therapeutic session for the both of us :)
Like what we did?
Reebonz City would like to treat a lucky couple to a most pampering & exhilarating Valentines' Day date!

Forever New Eyelet Bralet, Love, Bonito BASICS Skirt (unreleased), ASOS clutch

Well, hope everyone had a good Lunar New Year break! Will update again soon with pictures from the CNY celebrations x
There will be no white flag above my door, I'm in love & always will be.
56 kisses:
Hi. Wrote to you last week about a bag. Can you reply me soon so i can arrange for someone to pick it up? Thanks!
Hi! Can I ask what camera are u using?? Photos look really good!(:
I think a bralette is cool! good for girls that are a little heavy on top? :)
The bralette will look more like a top if the straps were thicker! Or in brighter colours. Because the original version in white really looks like an actual bra! :S
Hi Vel! Hope you had a great CNY with all the steamboats, lou hei and goodies! Everyone complimented the Westwood Dress in Purple when I wore it out for CNY day 2! Thanks for bringing it in! You and Fred look so sweet together :) btw how tall are you and Fred? You two look super tall!
YES! OMG! PLS MANUFACTURE THIS BRALET. MAKE IT A TOP! IT's GORGEOUS!
Love the top on you Vel! do it as a top please :)
Hi vel u look so slim! Yes, pls consider tweaking to a top! Yay!
yes tweak it to a top !!! :):):) more floral bustiers please!!

how do u get your stuff from forever new? they don't ship here!
hi vel!
i think you shd make it into a top! it will be really pretty! and love the upcoming basics skirt as well! :)
btw, I'm looking for a good eyeliner.. liquid one actually! do u have any to recommend?
Hello Vel, was thinking a bralet may not be as versatile as a top so tops FTW! :) are you naturally fair btw? It'd be cool if they allow you to bring back your piece of art :) your pottery looks pretty like a professional! Hope you had a great CNY!
A random question vel, what's your take regarding people who graduated from private schools like SIM?
Hi Christine, I will email you when I manage to get pics for the bag, thank you! :)
Hi Val, I usually alternate between a CanonS90 and a Leica D-Lux 4 :)
Hi Janice, thank you for the input :)
Hi Redina! Haha oh dear, you mean it looked like I was wearing a bra? O_O but thank you for the input, will definitely consider thicker straps and brighter colours :)
Hi Fiona, aww that's a lovely choice! I hope you had a good CNY break too babe :)
P.S. Fred's 1.85m and I'm only 1.7m, so yes he's always towering over me!
thanks for the input!!! you sound major excited ;)
Thank you, Steph! Hope you're doing well wherever you're relocating to! :)
Ah, I thought I look rather pouffy but thank you for the input babe!
will do, rebecca! thank you for your input :)
I will when I actually get down to the planning ;) Heh
thank you for the suggestions! :)
thank you, ashlyne! yes it should be soon :D
heh we hardly get complimented like this! but thank you :))
Hi D, they have two outlets in SG, one in Raffles City and the other in Wisma Atria :)
Hi Jane! Thank you for your input :)
Yesyes!! Dolly Wink's liquid eyeliner is really good. Hardly smudges and is sooo precise in application. Use it all the time :D
Hello! Heh thank you for your input about the bralet :)
Yes, they're helping us with the firing and glazing and we should be bringing our art pieces back soon :) Hope you had a good CNY break too!
Hmm why should there even be a take on people graduating from private schools? As long as they're happy with their choice and if the schools provide proper education, I don't see why there's anything wrong with graduating from a private school. I've always believed that education is important but paper certificates can never put value on anyone. Sure, it can get you the interview, but it's character that gets you the job. Have never been the type that bothers about what schools people come from, or what their highest education level is. I think that's being shallow :)
hi babe, love eyelet details. please make it to a top!
Please manufacture it as a top with thicker straps (hide armpit fats) ! :D
the eyelet top is so pretty! How about a dress version :D PS: you're really pretty vel :D
You two are TALLLLLLL people! Envy you cause you can lie on Fred's shoulders with ease. My bf's 1.73m and I'm 1.68m and I always get a sore neck after lying on his :/ You two look great together! Cant wait to read your post(s) on wedding preps and the actual thing itself. Take it slow girl! Don't stress yourself out and read from your tweets you got a sudden allergy. Get well soon babe! Hope the doc can find a remedy asap :) Rest well!
Oh and towering is good :) under his protection! :p
Hello Vel, I was wondering if you have any suggestions/remedies for dark circles. Been trying to sleep about 8-9hours but studies really don't allow me to :( my dark circles are getting worse by the day. i tried putting concealer but my eye area looked ghastly cause it appear to be white as compared to the other parts of my face. putting eyeliner(without concealer under the eyes) made my eyes look like they got boxed -.- any ideas? thanks in advance babe :)
thank you for the input! :)
Hi Nicolette, thank you for the input. Will definitely consider that :)
will see if that's feasible!! :) thank you for the input and you're too kind!
hi fiona, i don't really have any eye creams/gels that i can recommend but i'd say the raspberry roots eye masks from thefaceshop are pretty good! for concealers, i use YSL's touche eclat and it blends and covers my dark circles really well! hope this helps :))
Aww thank you so much for the concern babe, am trying to rest well, keep calm and wait till the allergy blows over! :)
I like it that you are blogging more frequently now!! Please keep up the momentum! Teeheex.
A tiny request here that you blog a journey of you from school to love bonito, and all the challenges you faced moving from
LJ to dot com, family objections if any, juggling school, social life and BC/LB. No need to reveal trade secrets. I just thought it truly inspirational that you three girls are doing so awesome at such a young age! I am your age but feel like an utter failure in life.
PS: Hope the allergy is gone by now! Speedy recovery!
Read that you were sick due to skin allergy?? Get well soon val! Love reading your updates too:)
Hi K, I will try my best :) I sincerely hope you'll find something you like doing and that things will look up for you soon. Not everything's gonna be nice & pretty in life, every one has their fair share of worries. I always believe that trusting in what God has in store for me helps. Feel free to email me if you need to talk :)
P.S. Thank you for the wishes babe!
Hi C, thank you :))
love it as a bralet!!
Hi Vel, can i check what size you wore for Zeira Lyle Bustier Floral? :)
thanks for the input!!
Hi Crystal, size S :)
Hi dear! I was wondering, is that a maxi skirt? Is it sold on Love Bonito?
Hi! Yes it'll be released in our coming Cruise Collections :)
