The unbearable lightness of being

I went for a long overdue haircut today. Under a friend's recommendation, I went to a relatively new Korean salon at Pacific Plaza. The results weren't too bad, considering my hair was getting pretty frizzy. The stylist snipped 3 to 4 inches of my dry, wavy locks off and layered whatever was left.

I also had an infra-red hair treatment done. For that, I had to take off all the metal I was wearing on the top half of my body - including my diamond ring and Tag Heur! - and put them into a small glass container! I made sure that box didn't leave my sight, not even when I had my hair washed at the basins -craned my neck to make sure my assets were safe.

The result of the haircut and treatment is, my head feels so much lighter. It's been a long time since I could swing my head and feel my hair bounce.

Something else was light and bouncy today. My earrings. :) Autumn Snowflake, to be precise. It was my first time wearing this pair and I was surprised to realise how light it is. I had to touch my eyelobes several times today to check that my earrings were still there!

In His Time

I love accessories, especially earrings. Everywhere I shop, whether in Singapore or overseas, I'm inevitably drawn to earrings. The bigger, the louder, the shinier, the better. I mean, I can't help it. Earrings are so easy to buy, unlike clothes. All you have to do is hold them against your ear and peer into the nearest mirror. Like it? Goes with the hair colour? Ok, buy. It's so convenient! Not surprisingly, that's my all-time favourite gift for my gal pals too. :)

Ironically, I design my own earrings. It feels great to be able to wear
something that reflects my style and mood for the day. It feels even greater when someone appreciates it. Like today, I was wearing a rose pink version of Summer's Day.

It's a lacey, floral number to match my lacey top and off I went to work and then to Elaine's birthday party at East Coast. Guess what? Elaine saw my lacey danglies and fell in love with them instantly. She liked them more than the glamourous pair of Czech bead earrings I made her. :P I guess I can't please everyone.

Lest you think I'm alone in accessories passion, I'm not. My sister Rosie and our good friend Estella are just as crazy over accessories. One fine day in September 2006, we decided to channel our passion for fashion into a business. And so Fluff was born.

It feels good to be able to do something we adore with people we love. The path hasn't been all that smooth so far. Starting this business has cost us some friendships because of some misunderstanding and miscommunication. I believe I speak for my partners when I say we just want to put the unhappiness behind us and let our experience make us stronger. We are trusting God to be our Judge and our Vindicator. He makes all things beautiful in His time.

Rose and Estella, I'm creating this blog for us to document our journey as we embark on our venture together. To God be the glory.
