Jade Seah certainly has a lot going for her: Besides fronting campaigns for big names like fashion label Topshop and beauty brand Clarins, the 32-year-old is also busy producing videos for her personal Youtube channel, where she offers her 16,000-strong subscribers everything from style tips to street interviews.

When she does have some downtime, Jade enjoys luxuriating in the comforts of home. And when you see what her abode is like, you'll understand why she wants to spend more time in it!

Located in Tanjong Katong, the loft-style shophouse exudes a quirky yet homey vibe, and is filled with vintage curios - a refreshing change from the minimalist-chic aesthetic currently in vogue.

Jade and her husband, Terence, tied the knot in January this year, and spent almost one and a half years refurbishing the once "dark and claustrophobic" space. "Everything in the house was a hideous reddish-brown colour, which was really off-putting," recalls Jade. But the couple saw plenty of potential in the unit and were especially taken by its original high ceilings.

To build their dream home, they removed the false ceilings, changed the plumbing, rebuilt the kitchen and bathroom, constructed a loft and installed skylights.

The couple also scoured flea markets around the world and sourced online for an eclectic mix of furniture and knick-knacks to fill the space. "I think that every house should reflect its owner's personality, and be filled with items that hold personal meaning," explains Jade.

And that labour of love has paid off. "I was never much of a homebody, but I now enjoy spending a lot of time at home! My friends love coming over to my place too - be it for lunch, or simply to chill out over a drink or two," laughs Jade.

Jade's tips for sprucing up your home
1) Be practical
Think twice before building or buying something. "For instance, my husband and I had a bar counter installed as we both appreciate alcohol, but we don't use it as it's too far from the living room."

2) Use uniform clothes hangers
"This easy trick can make your wardrobe, especially an open concept one, look a lot neater."

3) Accessorise!
"Using small decor items, such as candles and photo frames, is the easiest way to jazz up your home. I also love fresh flowers - they're an indulgence, but they go a long way in livening up a space."

Jade Seah's shophouse home is a vibrant hodgepodge (collection) of new and old furniture, spanning vast decorating periods, with bursts of unexpected colour; visitors hardly know where to start looking.

4) Contain your mess
"I'm a messy person, so containers are a godsend! And I don't just mean boxes and plastic containers - trays, for example, are great for storing jewellery."

5) Don't rush into buying furniture
"Don't rely on just one store for your furnishing needs. It's more fun to take your time and collect statement pieces, especially on your travels. A hodgepodge of unique furniture adds character to your home."

Just look at how gorgeously happy she is to be the new Mrs Terence Lim. Jade, 31, met her 32-year-old banker husband at church, so it kind of really is a match made in heaven.

Too busy to hit the gym? Not willing to diet?

Well, you don't have to if you know the simple life-hacks to shed those pounds without the sweat.

Learn the little tweaks to your lifestyle that could help you drop a dress size:

1. Go public

The daily walk to and from bus stops and train stations may boost calorie burn, according to a report in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.

Public transport commuters may drop 3kg within a year – and are 81 per cent less likely to put it back on.

2. Drink more water

A 2010 study found that people who guzzled two cups of water before a meal consumed 75 to 90 fewer calories than those who didn’t drink up.

(They also weighed 2.5 kg lighter after 12 weeks of doing so!)

This zero-calorie beverage keeps you feeling satiated for a longer time, so you’ll end up eating less, explains study author, Associate Professor Brenda Davy.

3. Fidget (moving about restlessly)

Besides burning extra calories, fidgeting has been shown to boost cardiorespiratory fitness (the body’s ability to get oxygen to the muscles) in a new study published in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise.

The benefits?

Lower cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and total body fat.

Amazing weight loss photos to inspire you!

PHOTO: You can stop your calorie counting if you eat the right kind of food. It is not the number of calories that make the difference, but whether you eat the right foods.

You need enough calories to lose weight, and most people do not eat enough calories. You can eat a lot if you eat the right foods.
