My Top Favorite Perfumes X Review





Hey there! Finally I get to do a review about my top favorite perfumes. These are the perfumes I've been wearing over the past 2 months & I'm really lovin it so much! ^.^ I have never really had a signature perfume as I enjoy discovering new fragrance every month! I usually pick up fragrance that has Sweet/fruity & a little bit musky scent to it. Not to forget, long lasting ones! My top favorite ones are Daisy Sunshine by Marc Jacobs, Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker & Body Shop Strawberry mist.


The golden Daisy Sunshine Eau de Toilette (SGD$105 for 50mL) is a sun-kissed expression of the iconic Daisy fragrance, with a fruity and floral heart, drying down to a base of musky woods. I bought this at Sasa store in Tampines One about a month ago. And I love this fragrance so much! 

  • Smells like: Red Currant, Guava & Juicy Mandarin, Lily of the Valley, Violet & Lychee, Apricot Skin, Blonde Woods & Musks

  • Long lasting up to 6 hours.

  • It possesses a characteristic of a Sweet girly fragrance

  • Great perfume to wear in the day/summer days








Lovely by SJP (SGD$89 for 100mL) is a soft, powdery, discrete and very intimate fragrance. This is my most wearable perfume at all times! Even my boyfriend loves it! He's always asking me to wear on this perfume! ^.^ 

  • Smells like: A soft citruses and woody (rosewood) notes, with a touch of lavender, which is very discrete and not at all sharp. The fragrance develops further with notes of apple martini, white daffodil and orchid. The base unites white amber, cedar, woody notes and white musk.
  • Long lasting up to 8 hours, it smells even after you have washed your clothes.
  • Its possesses a characteristic of a very sexy and yet undeniably classy fragrance.
  • Great perfume to wear in the day/night
  • Definitely worth the investment! 
  • Highly recommended perfume









The Body Shop Strawberry Mist (SGD$19.90 100mL) is a fresh gentle of sweet fruitiness. With strawberry extract and Community Fair Trade essence from sugar cane. I only wear it on everyday go to perfume, just for a casual day out and to work. 



  • Long lasting up to less than 5 hours
  • It possesses a characteristic of a Sweet girly fragrance
  • A great perfume to wear in the day/summer days



This body mist was a part of the set of 8 launched by the body shop a while ago.
The Body Shop launched new body mists in Strawberry, Satsuma, Shea, Moringa, Mango, Pink Grapefruit, Coconut and Vanilla. But I picked up the Strawberry mist as you all know my favorite fruit is always Strawberry! (: 




So that's pretty much it about my review. Thank you for reading! Will blog more soon! (:

Working with SATS


Never would I have thought I would work with SATS as Customer Service Agent(CSA). It suddenly came down to me that I should give it a try. Since I've never worked as a full timer, so why not? There's always a first in everything. At first I didn't really want to but since my mom encouraged me to give it a try and also she did say that there are many benefits you can enjoy if you work with SATS. Upon hearing the good stuffs, I've think it through carefully, and decided to just go for the interview. I didn't put any high hopes on getting the job. If I didn't get through the interview, it definitely wouldn't be the end of the world for me (':

I got the job but I wasn't really stoked about it, I was happy though.
It took 3 weeks to process everything till the first day of work. Within those 3 weeks of waiting, I had to go for medical check-up and sign contract on a different day. Despite hearing about the girls working in SATS, for example like there are a lot of snobbish girls working there, I can tell you truthfully that yes, it's true. Not only malay girls, but almost all races including the foreigners. I've no idea why do they have to be snobbish or be "too proud" when they are wearing the SATS uniform. Or maybe I'm not used to the exposure yet.... SATS taught us to look and be friendly and always smile to others in a professional way, not "too friendly" kind of way. If you get what i mean.. Well welcome to "The working life." But whatever it is I don't care what others think. What I know is I'm just going to be the way SATS wants us to be. Be elegant, professional and work smart. (:


Day 1: Orientation day 
Reported to work at 8:30am in the morning for the Orientation day at SATS Airfreight AFT5 building. Which I'm on job training therefore I'll be on probation for about 3 months.








They gave us our schedule for this month, handouts and Service Professional Handbook for guidance. Also, I get to meet so many new friends and Taiwanese foreigners. Some of the Taiwanese's faces are so flawless and so beautiful! *.* Sadly I'm unable to take photos with the Taiwanese, but one day I will! :-D

Day 1 was over, this is the area where we will wait for the shuttle bus to get us back to Terminal 1/2/3. Also, we get the opportunity to see SQ airplane in a closer look, everyday! I was so astonished actually. I've never seen an airplane in a closer look before honestly. Haha.



Day 2: Back to work
I received my uniform the day before and was told to wear it on the next day. I woke up at 05:00am in the morning to get ready and I die die have to leave the house by 06:45am everyday. Can you imagine how burden it is to wake up every morning just to have a full make up on, a neat hair look and wearing the uniform... It is a crime for SATS if we don't have our full make up on or else they'll take down our names. Zzzzzz. I did put a full make up on but the trick is, I put a bold red lipstick and a minimal amount of eyeshadows on so I wouldn't look like a clown if I put on too much make up. Right?


The morning role call
Every morning at around 08:30am, there'll be a morning role call where we all have to assemble in a room standing in two's facing each other's face and trainees will walk on down the aisle to do checking and greeting each other. Late comers', girls with no full make up on, undone/messy hairs, all names will be taken down. Look how strict they are when it comes to grooming..








So.. Yeah, that's pretty much about it. It has been a week since my first day of work. My off days are on every weekends.. Phewww.. I had 12 hours of sleep today and I felt better after not having good night sleep for the past few days. But I get to blog on weekends weekly! 
I wanna thank you guys for reading my blog, hope it's not a boring blog, I will do a review in my next few blogs as of right now I'm busily working and less time to go out shopping for new products )--:
Well, till here, 
Have a good weekend everyone! (:

Singapore Botanic Gardens



I had a splendid day out with Ryan earlier to the Singapore Botanical Gardens ^.^ It was an impromptu plan actually.. In fact we planned to go somewhere fun and enjoyable for us to spend our day together without actually having our money to be invested instead of rotting at home on Monday blues.. As i was googling through the Google search, I suggested that maybe we could pay a visit to the Singapore National Museum.. Ryan acceded with my suggestion since we both had never been there before... So why not? 

After a few minutes of conversation going on the phone with Ryan, abruptly I had another suggestion that flashed in my head, was to have a picnic at the Singapore Botanical Gardens! We were both stoked about it as truthfully, we HAVE never spent our time picnic-ing at somewhere in the park or the beach. So this is officially our first time! We had been planning this for donkey months ago, but it just didn't happen until today... (; We didn't do any preparations for the picnic, yes because it was a last minute one. Neither one of us had a mat -.- So I managed to find a perfect blanket in a wardrobe and picked it up. I had to steal it because if my mom knew about me stealing the blanket just to use it for a mat, she'll skin me alive! Haha, yes my mom is deadly strict! But she's a fun a friendly person though! (: 

Food preparation: I actually set an alarm the night before at 8.30am. Just to do some food preparation and stuff in the morning. But I was too tired to do so. Hehe. I told Ryan that maybe we can just buy Mcdonald's for our picnic. So I went back to sleep and set an alarm at 12 noon.. 

We didn't actually explore the whole Garden, though we wanted to. As it was getting late, so I decided to cancel exploring the other side of the Garden. Next time maybe? (:



My boyfriend and I was at the bus stop near my house, on our way to the Singapore Botanical Gardens(SBG).
















Beautiful black Swan!
















Ducklings and Swans






Singapore Botanical Gardens is a great place to spend with your loved ones. Appreciating Mother Nature, a great park for jogging, watching the Ducks and Swans with a closer look, a peaceful park to do your Yoga/Workout/Reading your favorite novel or even take photographies of the beautiful garden.
We both did had a whale of time together. Despite having an improper short picnic date, we still had a wonderful time together.  <3




Till here, Goodnight!

First blog post

Hello there..

I seriously have no idea where should I begin with. But to make it not awkward, I will come up with some topics to start off my first blog post. (:

1. Who am I?

"My name is Erra Zaisheera. Erra for short. I'm 18 years old. And i'm a Singaporean. I'm a normal human being just like you. Blogging is my new hobby now. It's not wrong to add new hobbies throughout the year isn't? Who knows blogging would be the only hobby you love doing out of the hobbies you've ever had? You'll never know if you never try to experiment something new." 

2. Why I actually started blogging/what makes me want to start blogging?

"Well, I started blogging when I was thirteen years old, in which, 5 years ago.. I wasn't so serious about it, like blogging for fun. Blogged about my absurd teen life.(I guess we all ever did that) But the main point is, I was actually inspired by professional bloggers from across the world. Their blogs are pretty awesome.. Besides that, blogging will also keep myself busy. So I've decided that I should rather be pretty serious about blogging or maybe make money for extra income by blogging? Yep (:"

3. What is/are my bad habit(s)? 

 "Talking about bad habits...  One of my bad habits is food distraction. Honestly I love food and everyone loves food. But when I'm mugging or concentrating on my schoolwork, I can't have some appetizing food laying there alone be it on that dining table across the living room or just near to where I'm standing.. I just can't stand seeing it sitting there alone whispering "Eat me! Eat me!" Paamm! There I go, putting aside whatever I'm doing and enjoy my little babies.. I won't stop eating until I finished it. My ideas I had in my head were all already dispersed the moment I decided that I should continue my productive activities. That is my food distraction habit. Another habit is that, whenever I have flaky/dry lips, I tend to peel it off. Gross i know. I will change that habit!"

4. How long does it takes for me to get ready?

"Honestly, the truth is, it takes me about 1hr 30 minutes to finish getting ready. That is if i'm not in a rushing mode. But if I am, trust me, it'll only take less than 45 minutes to get ready.. All thanks to for being a girl whom has those insecurities feeling when leaving the house with a bare face."

5. Will I be blogging anything related to beauty/haul/reviews/travel experiences?

"Yes, that is why I came here for... Sharing is caring (: I'll be doing food reviews, beauty reviews and etc etc.."

6. What is/are my favorite color(s)?

"I love all neon colors. Specific ones will be Pink and Yellow."

I think that's pretty much it. Will blog more soon!
