Struggling to choose which flavour of ice-cream to eat? Ben & Jerry’s has come up with the perfect creation and solution! In collaboration with Netflix, Ben & Jerry’s has created a Netflix Original flavour titled “Netflix & Chilll’d”. The sweet treat is a mixture of luscious peanut butter ice cream with sweet & salty pretzel swirls & fudge brownies. You're guaranteed to taste a mixture of goodness all in just one pint---creamy, fudgy, sweet and salty! The flavour was announced alongside a variety of upcoming new Netflix shows that would be airing in 2020.

The launch event hosted by Class 95 DJs The Muttons, was held at the Netflix HQ in Singapore. Upon arriving at the venue, we were greeted by the large Netflix entrance opposite the event hall. The Netflix office was lined with bean bags, and an array of delicious finger foods including mini bites like Pretzel Steak Sandwiches, “Hot Dogs”, Crushed Brownie Verrines, Peanut Butter Cream Tart with Charred Banana and Ginger & Salted Caramel Cupcakes with Buttered Popcorn.

Besides the food, there were various activities located around the hall such as a photo-taking/GIF booth and a “What’s your favourite title” booth where attendees may list their favourite Netflix shows under the “Totally Nuts”, “Salty AF” and “Too Sweet to Handle” categories. Before the announcing of the flavour, The Muttons held a round of Charades where attendees get selected to act out a type of Ben & Jerry’s flavour or Netflix show. Participants had the blessing of walking away with a bag full of Netflix and Ben & Jerry’s exclusive prizes.

I had an amazing experience at the event; I was able to mingle with people that had the same passion towards food and ice cream! Personally, I felt that the addition of bean bags was such a great idea as it really made it feel like home, so I was very comfortable during the entire event.

We also got to take back home a pint of Netflix & Chilll’d which I'm already chomping down while watching Netflix!

Aging is the scariest thing!

Although people have been saying I do not look like my actual age, but the fact is I can tell I aged a lot everytime I look at myself though the mirror. I only realised this started happened especially after I reached the age of 35. White hair are starting to appear more and my skin started sagging.

Collagen and elastin are the two vital protein that keep you youthful looking. However once you hit 35-40, the production of collagen and elastin naturally decreases. This also mean our skin loses its resistance and elasticity.

Thank goodness, there is aesthetic treatment like Thread Lifting to lift away the years.

One of the aesthetic treatment that does magic by instantly lifting up our skin is the Face Thread Lift Procedure using N Cog Thread which can be done at Aesthetics Central Clinic.

It is fast and minimally-invasive, yet achieves remarkable results as you can see from the picture below.

Your eyes are not playing any trick, the left side is clearly lifted up tremendously with just one time treatment

It is important to pick an experienced doctor to perform a Face Thread Lift procedure on your face as it will determine the outcome. I was impressed with the half face result performed by Dr Ryan!

Aesthetics Central Clinic is one of the best aesthetic clinic in Singapore and they are located conveniently above Clarke Quay MRT station.

Dr Ryan have a decade of experience in the aesthetics industry, helping patients in the journey to look better and regaining back their confidence. He is meticulous and detailed in his work. I remember feeling put at ease and relaxed by his warm smile.

What is Face Thread Lift (using N Cog Thread)?

First the doctor will draw some marking on your face indicating the place for the threads.

After drawing, he will inject local anaesthesia to prevents pain during the procedures

After local anaesthesia, Doctor start inserting a series of mini PDO absorbable sutures just under your skin. A needle helps to slide the threads into the right position, lifting the skin for a more youthful look.

There wasn't any pain at all and I can still chit chat with the doctor.

What the sutures does?

The sutures under the skin will stimulate the body’s selective inflammatory response, causing the skin to heal itself by creating new collagen. This natural reaction gradually replaces lost volume in sunken and sagging areas, enhancing the volume and creating a lift to your face.

The 100% bio-compatible suture will be fully absorbed within 4-6 months, and expelled naturally out of the body.

If you are struggling with sagging skins and actually want a treatment that works, consult Aesthetics Central Clinic today.
