It is really nice to see young people delving into business. Starting one in Singapore is not easy and takes a whole lot of heart. So whenever I see someone young venture into the world of business, I find that very brave. And that is how I view Charmaine when I got to know her. She chose a path that is less chosen. Our December's Local Business Shoutout goes to Charmaine and her business, Forever Charms. Let find a little bit more about this girl and why she started her busi

I LOVE the deodorant from Dandelia Naturals. The scent is mild and even in Singapore's humid and hot weather, the deodorant lasts the whole day. Dandelia Naturals also sell many other products made of natural ingredients. I can't recommend their products enough! That's why I decided to interview Julie, the beauty and brains behind this brand. Let's read more about her and Dandelia Naturals in this month's local business shout out! Julie, owner of Dandelia Naturals Photo Credi

I was calculating how long I have known Gayarttri and I couldn't help but laugh. 24 years! More than half of my life on this earth. We been through so much together and at this point, I don't only consider her as my close friend, she is my family. It is not everyday that you know someone who wrote an assessment book. So this month, I am featuring Gayarttri, author of PSLE Science 1000 Challenging MCQs. Gayarttri, author of PSLE Science 1000 Challenging MCQs. Photo Credit: Gay

The first time I met Syariefah, we ended up talking far longer than we were supposed to. She has that air around her that is so calming which makes it easy for anyone to open up to her. I love her sharings about her experience about umrah and I think that is what makes me miss Mekkah and Madinah even more. For this August's Local Business Shoutout, I would like to introduce you to Syariefah and her businesses, Malikaqueenbys & As One Ummah. Syariefah, owner of Malikaqueenbys

Managing multiple social media is not easy for most business owners. Instagram, Facebook and TikTok can be very confusing with their own algorithms. So it was amazing to see businesses set up to help other businesses manage their social media. Big Dreams Creative Studio is one of them and I have been eyeing them since they were previously 15 Big Dreams. One day, I know I will have courage to participate in one of their courses because I know I need them. So for July's Local B
