[Sponsored Post]: Ribena's NEW Pineapple & Passionfruit Drink‏

Hi everyone! The makers of Ribena are giving fans a chance to re-live the warmth of the past months with a brand NEW flavour! It unveils it's FIRST non-blackcurrant ready-to-drink variant for Singaporeans, like you & I who just can't get enough of Ribena's fruity goodness, called the PINEAPPLE PASSIONFRUIT DRINK! This FIRST non-blackcurrant beverage by Ribena allows one to experience the new citrusy, tropical sensation that tingles the 
tastebuds with every sip.

Comes in a re-sealable bottle for easy consumption on the go. 
This fruit drink contains one's daily vitamin C requirement that is suitable for all age group- young & old alike.

Honestly speaking, I feel that it is indeed a very bold move that Ribena has actually left it's original flavour- the blackcurrant out from their recipe. And do you know that this new beverage's zesty tang comes from real fruits juice and that makes this fun, fruity beverage a little sweet, sour and deliciously different? Well, will this change appeals to the Ribena's fans? I certainly do, this drink has a refreshing topical flavour with the right amount of
sweetness(not too sweet which is good) and it's the perfect thirst-quencher for this tropic we live in.

Cocktail shaker, what's that for? Read on to find out!

The richness of the pineapple and a hint of tangy passionfruit is a winning combination of any palate- the perfect 'mocktail' for anytime of the day. This fantastic new flavour not only tastes amazing but it also offers a more affordable option to the ready-to-drink version, and you can make it yourself at home. 

This Pineapple & Passionfruit can be easily used in many recipes. You can customise and concoct different types of beverages of your choice from it (if not you could just drink it out of the bottle because it tastes good just by itself too). The great thing is that all your concoctions will be packed with goodness of Vitamin C! 


Here i had customised my choice of beverages. 
Yakult is available in flavours such as the original, the apple, the grape & the orange. All flavours have this distinct taste and fruity kicks that you can easily identify. For me, nothing beats the original however if they have other more flavours so how not? Hence, I decided to come up with this by mixing the original Yakult with the Ribena's Pineapple & Passionfruit Drink. 
And the end result was......... it tastes so good! :)

Anyhow, there's no hard or fast rule for what you should mix, so go ahead and unleash your creativity in you!

[Sponsored Post]: Preloot

Buying a beauty product that you have not tried before is tricky. What if your skin reacts to it? Or the colour just doesn't suit you? Buying a beauty product requires commitment, and most of us would prefer trying out the samples before buying the full-version. Let me share with you this new kid on the block- Preloot. Preloot is a rather new beauty sampling platform. They offer a good selection of samples for men and women. Current beauty brands include SoapLah, Basic Theory, Flower2Grass2 & Eco Cosmetics just to name a few. 

Beauty boxes are not anything new, but unlike other entities, Preloot does not require monthly subscription to sample their products. At a flat rate of SGD8.99, that includes delivery, you'll get to choose up to 5 beauty samples to be delivered to your doorstep monthly, or whenever you wish to try out new beauty products. And, should you happen to love the samples you've tried, you can head to the LootStore and purchase it!

My loots from Preloot consist of Eco Cometics, SoapLah, Basic Theory, Gummi nails & Freda D Parfum(Thanks to the kind people at Preloot! A box of beauty goodies being delivered to your door step- What's not to love? Looks like christmas came early this year?)

Among them, I'd love Basic Theory- JUST LAVENDER POLISH the most. This body scrub is specially formulated with lavender, sweet almond and Vitamin E oil to aid in the calming of the nervous system while your skin gets exfoliated and moisturized. 
Ingredients: sucrose, sodium chloride, prunis dulcis oil, simmondsia chinensis, lavendula oil, rosa moschata oil, water, alpha tocopherol.
Verdict: I definitely feel like I was on a lavender field. The mild lavender scent is enough to perks me up! And most importantly, my skin feel a lot more moisturised after using the Just Lavender Polish.
