You can still have fun even though you are broke!

Now, now, tell me who says you can’t get have fun just because you are broke? I feel you, bunnies. I seriously do. We all know that almost everything costs money – even simple thing like transport could be a bomb. Fear not – I am going to introduce some free activities to help you get through the day meaningfully.

1. Take a trip to the Gardens By The Bay

Since you have the time, why not just head down to the Gardens By The Bay? It is open to public and free, so why not? It is new. It is beautiful. And there are even “supertrees” that play music in the evening! Now, all you have to do is bring your own food. Go on!

 2. Watch Outdoor Movies

Yes, outdoor movies and yes, it’s free! Not sure if you guys know about it but I found this out reading this article! (In fact, this post is greatly inspired from this writer!)

So all you have to do is just go to the ION Orchard shopping mall on the last Saturday of every month! The free movie will be played on its huge outdoor video screen. Yay for new experiences!

3. East Coast Park (ECP)

It’s not all about shopping. Just head down to ECP every once in a while! Take a break from your hectic life and enjoy the simplest things in life.

Feel the sea breeze. Build a sandcastle. Go for a cycle. Anything will do. And just like what budgethotel suggested, even chilling out on the beach under a coconut tree is great too! Why not?









 4. Arts Performances at the Esplanade

Great performances for the price of zero. Not only can you see great arts on display, you can also catch free performances!

What more can you ask for? Go on and take a look. It might just be one of the greatest live experiences you have ever gained.

5. Take a walk in Chinatown

It may not sound appealing but you will never know what you can find there. And maybe, just maybe, you might just be as surprised as Shivya – A Forbes Travel Guide Correspondent for Delhi and a travel blogger for The Huffington Post.

Know your colour

Original photo: ualartshopvideos.blogspot.com

We all know that colour is important. In fact, colours play a crucial part in our everyday lives whether we notice it or not. When we choose the outfits we wear for the day, or maybe even when we buy furniture according to the colour scheme our rooms. The point is, we want the colours to match.

Now, think. Have you ever realised that whenever you put on a certain colour of eyeshadow, it just doesn't go well with you? Or maybe you've found yourself saying this before about some shade of colour, "I don't suit yellow."

Nope, it's not a coincidence! Let me tell you why, my fellow bunnies. It's all aboout your skin tone! Makes sense, doesn't it? After all, your skin is what people see and of course it has to match with whatever you're wearing!

So, how do you find out your skin tone? By looking at your veins! There are FOUR different types of skin tones. First, let me explain cool and warm:

Cool: Blue + purple veins
Warm: Green veins

Next, there's neutrals. This is when you have both blue/purple veins and green veins as well. In fact, most of us are neutrals. But there are two kinds of neutrals. We categorise them by seeing which colour veins you have more.

Cool-neutral: Blue + purple veins are more prevalent
Warm-neutral: Green veins are more prevalent

Look at my palms, for example.

As you can see, I have a cool-neutral skin tone because I have more blue/purple veins than I do green. However, do look at the rest of your arm as well. For the purpose of this close-up picture, I just took one of my palm. But I do have a running green vein along my wrist. Oh! And take note that the colours of your veins do change sometimes, so there is a possibility of you changing skin tones next time. Weird, but it happens.

Now that you know your skin tones, what now? Well, take a look at the colour wheel again. Now you're able to choose colours that are more suited to your skin tone!

Cools: Blues, Purples, Dark Green
Warms: Red, Yellow, Orange

Other than these colours, there are other neutral colours which will suit both skin tones.

Neutrals: Black, white, grey
Warm neutrals: Browns

Yes, this is also why everyone loves earthy shades for their eyeshadow. This is because it goes well with every skin tone. I hope you learnt something new today, do share this with your friends if you found it helpful! Stay updated on T5B through our mailing list!

No more tacky Christmas

It’s finally 3 more days to my favourite holiday of the year, Christmas! I’m pretty sure many of you have been waiting for this day as well, where there are plenty of parties, celebrations, gatherings and feasts to attend!

But I know some of us might dread the thought of these events because we’ve got to deck ourselves in Christmas apparels. And that means we may risk looking like a Christmas tree or an ornament. Which is DEFINITELY not what anyone would want. Or if you’re someone like me and have never thought of touching Christmas colours because you feel they just look too tacky.

You’re in luck I’ve got some Christmas outfit ideas that will help picking out an outfit for these occasions much much easier!

Top: Editor’s Market, Skirt: Editor’s Market, Shoes: Taiwan, Necklace: Forever 21

This is probably a look I would go for, if I’m spending a night out with the girls. But hey who says there’s no need to look your best when you’re out with your girlfriends.

This outfit has just the right amount of colour for me, instead of something in bright red I opted for a burgundy suede top.

To add a little spice, I paired the top with a black pleather skirt, which instantaneously transforms the get up into a fun and adventurous look. As dark colours are able to tone down the brightness of striking colours, the skirt was used to darken the redness of the top leaving it to blend with the outfit.

I just picked a pair of plain black minimalist heels and a simple embellished necklace to end off the look. Creating a clean, simple and chic ensemble for a great night out. 

Top: New Look, Shorts: Flea, Flannel Shirt: Forever 21, Shoes: Dr. Martens

This is a look for those who aren’t up for a whole night in heels, or for those who are just out celebrating with a bunch of friends.

Nothing shouts out Christmas more to me than a sweater, so what’s a Christmas outfit without a sweater!

I chose a pair of black high-waisted shorts, which gives the sweater a less refine look and more of a playful appearance which would definitely suit a house party or an outing with a group of friends.

The top and shorts looked way too plain and subtle for the occasion, so I tied on a flannel shirt, which has colours that not only matched the sweater but also a mash of colours that remind me of Christmas. It gave the outfit that mix of texture and shape that was needed to pull the look together.

There my grungy yet spunky and comfortable outfit for any kind of fun is done!

 I just threw on my trusty Dr. Martens, and I’m all ready to partayeeeee!

Now who can say you’re not in the Christmas spirit anymore!

These looks are to be served as ideas and inspiration for your own kind of look. So go ahead and change the colours and pieces, take it up a notch! Don’t be afraid to share your own ideas here too!

Till next time, Merry Christmas!

Watch your watch!

Hello everyone! Idle bunny is here to write her very first post. Such a wonderful thing it is to have holiday! Anyway, I am going to talk about movies today. Yes... so have you ever watched a movie and think, "Dang, this movie.... just wasted my time!"?! Well, it's all cool if you didn't but man, it sure didn't feel good for me. However, don't you worry. I am going to introduce you some movies that's gonna worth your time!

1) Pitch Perfect



Do you love music? Then go on and watch Pitch Perfect! Not only it has good music, it also motivates one to keep reaching out for their dreams! In this movie, you will see how an all-female a capella singing group train and pick themselves up from the bottom, proving the others wrong. Ever so often, you will also find yourself getting amused too. Look out for actresses like Rebel Wilson, who is also known as the Fat Army, and you shall know why!

2) We’re The Millers



Wanna have a good laugh? We're The Millers will do a good job! Go ahead and watch this with your family. Take a break and have a good time chilling together. Gonna like the fact how this "family" was formed - a pot dealer father, a cynical stripper mother, a homeless girl and a nerdy boy. There is no doubt that you will find yourself laughing throughout the movie! There's also this bring-away. *Well, even though they are just a fake, this family stays together as one. Go through thick and thin with your family and appreciate it.

3) Now You See Me



Magic, anyone? In this movie, you will see all sorts of fascinating magic tricks performed by this team who is also known as "The Four Horsemen" - the world's greatest illusionists.What's the best is the fact that they shower money in their performances! Oh, how I would love to be one of those audiences. But... that is not all. There is a twist in this movie that really took me by surprise. Go watch it and you shall know. Remember this though - "The closer you look, the less you see".

4) My Girlfriend Can See Ghost



How about a love story that "conquers" all? Ever love so much that you are willing to do anything for them? And suddenly... fear becomes nothing? Well, in this movie, you will see how a guy named Jo-goo (Lee Min-ki) do that and helped Yeo-ri (Son Ye-jin) in all the ways he can. Will he get chased away by the ghosts or will he chased away the ghosts? Go ahead and watch as this funny love story unfolds.

5) Confession



Want something more serious, disturbing and dark? Then watch this. It will leave you awestruck. Not only does it shows you the ugly side of human nature, it also makes you think. It's not that easy to understand but it is has an amazing plot and is brilliantly crafted. So go on!

Well, well, idle bunny gotta go! So, go ahead and watch it! Tell me if you like them. And if you don't, tell me about it too. I would definitely appreciate it if you can join me and give good movies' recommendation too! Alright, bye-byeh. I will try to update more entertaining stuffs, so do look forward to it!

Peace out,
Idle Bunny

To keep or not to keep?

So I went to a make-up grooming workshop at Carrie Academy to accompany a friend, and I’m so glad I did because I’ve learnt sooo many things within the two days I was there! Now, we all know that make-up has an expiry date right? For those of you who don’t, it’s not good to be a make-up hoarder! Think about it, every time you use the product, it gives bacteria a chance to go in. This makes it a breeding ground for bacteria. You DON’T want to put that on your face.

Anyway, back to the expiry date. Some products, though not all, have an expiry date listed on the packaging. This is because companies are not required by law to state the expiry date. Though, that’s not what you should look out for. I repeat, NOT what you should look out for. The storage life is what matters more. What’s the difference? Storage life is the amount of time you will be able to use the product. The expiry date tells you when the product goes bad. Therefore, the storage life will be lesser of that of an expiry date.  Still confused? Don’t be. It’ll make much more sense after I show you what to look out for on the label.

Looks familiar, doesn’t it? The M in the pictures represents month. So, 9M is 9 months. This means that the storage life for this product is 9 months. For example, if I started using this product now in December, I can use it till September 2014. So, the expiry date may say 29.11.2015 but that just means the product will be kept fresh till then. But once you use the product, bacteria will keep accumulating and after a while, it’s not hygienic to use it anymore. That’s what the storage life is for. Pretty cool, huh?

But what if some products don't have this label? Don't fret, you can always estimate when your product's time is up according to its type. You can read more here!

I hope you’ve learnt something new from the Beauty Bunny today! Remember to subscribe to our mailing list and like our Facebook page to receive our latest updates! Psst.. I have more tips and tricks for you guys in the bag, so you don’t want to miss it! Catch you guys next time ;>

Reinventing the Formal Look

When I hear the word “formal”, I can’t help but cringe a little because I get images of horribly boring black and white corporate wear. You know what I’m talking about, the white button ups with black fitted skirts. I’m sorry but that is not my style and I’m sure many of you girls understand how I feel.

Stepping out of the stereotypical look, I have found something that I personally like which redefines the idea of formal wear.

So here is an outfit idea that will add that little bit of oomph to your formal days.

Collared shirt: H&M, Sweater: Thrifted, Pants: Editor’s Market, Heels: Aldo, Necklace: Bangkok, Watch: Casio

A white collared shirt topped with a sweater still keeps the essence of a corporate wear, but with the textured sweater it tones down the formality of the outfit. To give more shape, I tucked in the front of the sweater and left the back out.

I opted for a pair of checkered high-waisted pants just to make the outfit a little interesting instead of just wearing a plain black skirt. But hey there’s no wrong in doing that though! It’s just that I personally like that pants with printed details can add more quirkiness to the whole look.

Nothing can go wrong with black and gold, so I added a hint of gold to the outfit, to add a little pop of colour to the monotonous tones. There is also something about gold accessories that make a statement and make an outfit classier.

To finish off my look I chose my simple black pumps. Just like how every girl needs a little black dress, I think every girl should have a pair of black pumps or heels. Trust me they go with anything!

The outfit still consisted of black and white, but I played around with the prints and texture, so now the colours black and white aren't so boring anymore.

Feel free to comment below on your ideas on how you would style a formal outfit.

Till next time!

Health and Fitness: Is less really more?

Christmas is on the way and with all the good food and drinks, how can one not gain calories? During this season of giving and love, don’t forget to take good care of your body in the CORRECT way! Do not be like me in the past, when I was 17 and my eyes can’t stop looking at pictures of my definition of perfect on Tumblr. Demi Lovato was my role model during that period of time and I practically worshipped her body. I began having the habit of not eating and going for jogs that lasted 7km and I did it twice in a day. I started seeing results in 21 days and I continued to stick to this ‘diet’ which included eating one meal per day and intense exercising. My weight dropped from 52kg to 40kg within 3 months and I was very happy.

Demi Lovato before and after treatment.

Are you like me? Don’t worry, because you’re not alone. There are increasing cases of anorexia nervosa as well as bulimia nervosa here in Singapore. More teenagers, some as young as 13, are being treated at public hospitals here for eating disorders.

Figures from the Singapore General Hospital (SGH) show that 95 youngsters aged 13 to 19 suffered from anorexia or bulimia last year, up from 65 in 2011 and 75 the year before.

However, I learnt to pick myself up again at the age of 18, with the encouragement and advice of my friends. I realized the measures that I've taken made some of them very upset and I took baby steps by having breakfast every day and my mind was set on being healthy- not skinny. I am proud to say that I am toned and healthy now, I no longer starve myself nor try to throw up my food, and I thank my friends and family for that.

Remember this: There are people around you who cares and I understand that the media may portray some models as skinny as a bamboo stick. However, your health is more important than your body. If you want to lose weight, please lose it in the correct way! Don't compromise the health of your body. If you need motivation, check out some of the fitness blogs I visit below:

•   Skinny Fit
•   Health Diary
•   I am at the gym bitch

Alternatively, feel free to leave a comment or ask me anything! Watch your portions and have a Merry Christmas in advance! Stay tuned for more health and fitness tips!
