Luxury Haven Retiring From Blogging + Hello Kitty Giveaway!

This may come as a surprise to you, but I have decided to leave the blogging scene after some serious consideration. As much as I love blogging, I guess 10 awesome years is good enough for me.

My blogging journey has been a wonderful one. Letting go isn’t easy, especially when I have been writing for a good decade. That being said, I will still continue my presence in Facebook where I interact most, and perhaps spend some time on Instagram too.

You guys have been most supportive, giving me the motivation to write and share my thoughts all these years, and I am so thankful for all your heart-warming comments here and in Facebook. I can't thank you enough for your tremendous support and positive feedback, especially those who have been with me since the start of Luxury Haven since 2009.

To show my appreciation, I’m ending Luxury Haven with a Hello Kitty Giveaway Open to All Worldwide, and there will be 10 Prizes + 1 Bonus Prize for 1 lucky Singapore resident. Some of the Hello Kitty prizes are from my own collection which I will be happily parting them with you, so please come and join the party!

Blogging Break for Luxury Haven Lifestyle Blog

For those who are following me in Facebook, you would’ve probably seen my updates on the recent incident where Luxury Haven's site was compromised.

Long story cut short, I had engaged a professional from UK last week to revamp my blog design. As a common practice in the market, I had also given my blog access to her and made her Admin to work on my blog template.

Little did I expect that she would remove me as Admin, & took over my blog completely instead and blackmailed me. Reports have been made to the relevant authorities. Thank goodness I was able to get my 10-year-old baby back after working round the clock for 2 days, and now Luxury Haven is up and running again! Did you notice that I have changed my blog header image to a simpler design?

World of Beauty Fascinating 3-Step Wonder Skin Beauty Routine

All of us yearn for a nice complexion, but do you know that behind that glowing skin needs a little bit of hard work besides inheriting good genes?

Basically, there are a few essential steps you should not miss in your daily skincare routine and here is a simple 3-step beauty regimen by World of Beauty, a Natural and Organic skincare brand equipped with international patented technology aimed to help each skin type.

For the busy executives and those of you who do not like to use too many products on your face, this 3-Step Wonder Skin Beauty Routine consists of just a cleanser, serum and moisturizer; the three basic vital skincare products for your face:

• Cleanser – Clean skin is a happy skin, so always start your skincare regime with a good cleanser to wash away any excess dirt and oil.
• Serum – Invest in a good serum. This magic potion is a super-concentrated skincare must-have that addresses specific concerns such as dry skin and fine lines.
• Moisturizer – This is a product that everyone should have regardless of whether you have dry or oily skin, and it should be a part of your morning and night skincare regimen. Moisturizers help hydrate your skin and also balance your skin’s natural oil production.

In the past, toners were made to help return the skin’s pH due to harsh soaps used during cleansing but these days, facial cleansers are so much better balanced than toners, so you can opt to skip this step if you prefer.
