Exclusive deals on Gumtree

It's year end soon! While reflecting on the past year, I realize that so much has changed since last year end. Actually, last year end was also very different from the previous year end. Hopefully next year end I'd be richer, healthier, and happier!

So anyway, something I love about the festive year end...

End of year = Christmas = Gifting season = Shopping!!!

If squeezing with the crowd at Orchard Road is not your cup of tea, the updated Gumtree app is here to save the day!



Shopping on Gumtree is so easy! With filter searches and simple navigation, I can search for almost anything on Gumtree, like clothes, furniture, electronics, books, concert tickets, and even jobs or properties! It's like a one-stop app for everything under the sun.


I've set up an account to sell brand new Lyra Minn apparels at exclusive prices of $5-$10!

YES, $5 - $10.
BELOW COST. AND WITH FREE NORMAL POSTAGE! 


You can find me on http://profile.gumtree.sg/estherxie or download the updated Gumtree app on your mobile! Go to the new navigation tab "Discover" at the bottom and I am listed as one of the exclusive sellers under "Users". You can also find interesting stuffs at exclusive discounts from other curated users that Gumtree recommends under this section, or the ad section where the items shown are similar items based on your previous searches!



Here are some of my favourite pieces that I have put up for sale at Gumtree.

Fun and casual printed dress!


This floral halter dress has a very flattering cut which I absolutely love!


Sweet check dress, the material is really comfy and nice for our weather. Great for lazy days, just throw it on and out the door.


There are more on the app and I will also be updating more new pieces from time to time, and only a limited number of pieces per design so do follow me to get the latest updates and grab them!

Remember, only $5-$10 even for the new arrivals!!!!
PLUS FREE NORMAL POSTAGE!


They are usually sold for around $25 on the online store, so it's really a steal if you buy it at Gumtree! Exclusive only for you Gumtree users!

If you want to sell your items too, here's how simple and fast it is to post a free ad on Gumtree!

1. Take a photo of the item you wish to sell.


2. Input the description and hit submit.


After that, wait for the sale enquiries to come in! Super easy! There is a chat function too so buyers can just instant message sellers on the app itself, don't have to switch to email or exchange phone numbers! Very convenient for buyers and secure for sellers!




I'd be replying your enquiries so flood them in! Prices are slightly negotiable so don't be afraid to ask! But the prices really very low already and below cost, so maybe you can buy more than 1 to support?Then in return I post up more new designs more frequently? Haha. Ok? Deal? Deal!

Download the Gumtree app on your phone now! I wait for you ah!

Sopra Cucina & Bar

Another yummy lunch session with my girls! This time at Sopra Cucina & Bar :)



It was my first time there! Little did I know that round the corner off Orchard Road (behind Palais Renaissance), there is this Italian restaurant serving traditional Italian food with a nice ambiance.

chivalry is attractive

This new update from 啾啾妹 reminded me of a funny trait my bf used to have.

I remember when we just got together, if I meet him after shopping, he would help me take all my plastic bags but leave one with me.

For example if 5 bags, he'd take 4. If 2 bags, he also take just 1!

I can understand if I have like 10 and he expects me to take 5 while he take 5. After all, I can take all 10 myself if I wanted to but I'd rather my guy be gentlemanly and help me with it lah.

But 2 he also want to split the job?! Lol I remembered I made a fuss out of it one day cos I found it quite ridiculous.

Somehow it feels like he's trying to teach me to be independent? Haha. Like a Father teaching his little Daughter, help her take but make sure she carries one herself -.-" plus he loves nagging me like how a Father does to Daughter! Hahaha. I told him I'm his Girlfriend leh not Daughter. Lol. I'm not sure if he realises it before I mentioned to him.
Luckily now no more already. Actually, i think is because he no longer follows me around while I shop 😭😭😭😭😭 now he wait in car so all I carry😩

No lah... Actually I prefer to shop alone. But it'd be great if can pull a market trolley around to put the plastic bags. Often I end my shopping only because the bags are too heavy for me to carry already, not because I really finished shopping. Haha.

Also, speaking of chivalry I think it's nice for guys, even if just friends, to help girls carry stuff. But I dunwan my own bf to be so gentleman to anyone else except me lah cos I selfish hehehe. Plus I like guys who are cold to everyone else except me. But then bf is the opposite. Nice to everyone else except me grrrrrr 😠😠😠

(Anyway, handbags! I feel that unless the girl got genuine reason to ask someone else to help hold for awhile, she should carry herself)

I suddenly thought of 徐太宇 and how he took care of 林真心。Really quite nice to have someone like that hor?

Ya lah ya lah I'm not over 我的少女时代 yet. I still think about 徐太宇 from time to time. Lol.

Night Time Toothpaste - Dentiste

Recently I've been quite obsessed with this character called 啾啾妹. To the extent that I check the Facebook page every single day for new updates and disturb my friends with 啾啾妹 stickers on line chat all the time. Hahaha. Even my bf bought 啾啾妹's boyfriend's stickers to reply to my 啾啾妹 stickers.

Besides liking the funny videos, her dramatic expressions, her poor boyfriend whenever she bullies him, I also like how her drawings often depict real life situations.

One of them is this:


So funny!!!! In case you don't understand the chinese words, the guy is saying "Err, I think I need to go to work earlier today." Hahahaha.

Speaking of morning breath, are you the type that eat breakfast first or brush teeth first? I thought of afew friends who eat breakfast before brushing teeth and I don't understand why! For me, whenever I wake up, the first thing I do is brush my teeth. I feel uncomfortable talking or eating before that because it feels so dry if I don't brush my teeth first! My parents LOVE asking me lots of questions in the morning and I would reply with "mmm" to everything cos I don't want to open my mouth. Haha.

Recently I got introduced to Dentiste Night Time toothpaste and learnt more about the difference between these and regular toothpaste.

These are the products I tried!


Why night-time toothpaste? Saliva flows slower while we sleep at night as compared to day time, and this allow anaerobic bacteria to grow and produce sulphur compounds, resulting in bad breath the next morning. Besides, oral bacteria may also lead to other issues such as tooth decay, gum disease, and other health problems too!



Unlike regular toothpastes, Dentiste can effectively inhibit nighttime oral bacteria which grow rapidly in the mouth while we sleep, and give us fresher morning breath! Even within the first night of use! I also like the minty taste of the toothpaste and somehow the freshness last much longer too!


Dentiste products has a unique formula that comes with a blend of 14 natural extracts and essential ingredients to inhibit bad morning breath.



And also:

*Xylitol – Natural taste enhancer that creates unwelcome environment for bacteria growth

*CDX (Cyclodextrin Complex) that traps bad breath effectively

*Stable Vitamin C from Switzerland which helps to increase antibodies for healthy gums

*Micronized Silica Complex, clinically proven to be effective in soothing sensitive teeth pain

It has no SLS, no preservatives, no parabens, no triclosan, no flavorings, no fluoride, no colorings!

Absolutely suitable for all in the family!


Studies show that 93% of Dentiste users who brush their teeth before going to bed experience a decrease in bad morning breath after the first night of using. This includes me for sure~!

By the way, I used the tube toothpaste for quite awhile before I started trying this pump and now I keep using this one already because it adds abit of fun into my bedtime routine! Have never used a pump toothpaste before this! Haha.


Used Dentiste oral rinse to complement the toothpaste. Very refreshing mouthwash, and my mouth feels much cleaner after using it. I currently have braces on, so it's very important for me to maintain good oral care.



Also attended Singapore's 1st Dentiste' Kissing Silhouette Event!


Brought bf along for the kissing segment. Haha.


We aren't the kissy type and usually it's just a peck on the lips so it felt quite special that day when he held my hands and kissed me afew seconds more than usual hahahaha. SHY LEH.


The other bloggers and their partners! Kissing confidently with Dentiste products!


I highly recommend Dentiste for a fresh morning kiss!

Dentiste' products are sold in all major retail stores! LIKE Dentiste Singapore Facebook and watch the Singapore's 1st Dentiste' Silhouette Event video HERE.

Bed Habits


I'm quite an untidy person. I like mess. I find comfort in clutter. I love to leave things around. I'm ok with dust. (But I cannot accept visible dirt, stains, etc.)

While reading someone else's dayre, a thought came into my head.

I don't pull my sheets after I wake up. I usually leave my bed as it is, and go back to it at night. Blankets not folded, soft toys everywhere, pillow not where they supposed to be.

And I suddenly wonder, is my bf ok with that when we move in together in the future?

I remember whenever I visit him at his house, his bed is very neat de. And at times when he naps, I notice he doesn't even unfold his blanket. Don't tell me he's very particular about neatness?? Jialat jialat. Then confirm next time every morning I need to hear him nag.

😱😱😱

I remember there was once I told him something about mopping the floor just once a week and he told me at his house his maid mops every day and he doesn't like sticky floor. I told him "then u ownself mop lor". Hahahahah. If got maid I also will ask her mop everyday. But if must ownself mop, then err wait till it's dirty lor. Lol. Double standards. But I really don't find the floor sticky what.... It won't be if you wash your feet immediately every time after coming home.

I think must set up a rule before we move in together. If he expects chores to be done a certain way, he gotta do it himself. Actually it'd be great if he can settle all the chores because i hate housework. Not that I don't know how to do, but I dislike doing it and it makes me an unhappy girl whenever I am required to waste my time on chores.
I think all the housework that mum made me learn since young so that I can be a good housewife kind of backfired because I hate it so much now that I would refuse to do it if I had a choice?

Well at least I know how to do and I can do if I have no choice but it's just that I'd rather not.

I guess that's always the case. I came from quite a strict family and all the curfews made me crave freedom so much more than other kids who are allowed to go out and have fun. I'd jump at every opportunity to hang out. Then when I grew up and mum loosen her grip, i started preferring to stay at home because heading out is not a rare opportunity anymore. Maybe mums should restrict daughters from doing housework so that they will love chores next time?

Hmmm quite unlikely. Hahaha.


Why would anyone want or like to do housechores anyway?


Dreamt that my bf dabao lobster roll for me and apparently the new flavour is vegetarian. Inside all truffle caviar, slices of raw carrots, and other veggie. No lobster meat. Lol. Plus it's $100+ per roll.

为什么在梦里都不给我吃lobster...........
