Though I only joined the team in June this year, it feels like I've been here for a very long time.

Being in the Lifestyle team has given me the opportunity and freedom to try out and write about things I never thought was possible, such as not washing my face in the morning for a week (and reaping the benefits of it) and trying out different facial rollers so our readers are in the know about these life hacks and trends.

I get paid to do these? Yea, what a time to be alive!

I also tried my hands at "modelling" for Zara, Massimo Dutti, Pull& Bear and Bershka for a client article — how many five-foot-tall girls can say they've modelled for these brands?

Still, I guess nothing really matters when you see the team's stories performing the best for that week!

"Wearing slippers actually helps relieve symptoms from painful bunions and doesn't put a strain on your calves unlike high heels", says Dr Tan Ken Jin of orthopaedic and sports medicine clinic, Orthosports.
Bunions are a foot deformity of the joint and bone in the big toes, making the bones protrude. In serious cases, the toes overlap, making it painful to wear covered shoes.
