He creates his own beats and sounds, putting in hours of work for each song. And as if that isn’t talent enough, he also plays…

When a husband pisses off his wife (and it will happen), getting her jewellery can often offer salvation, albeit temporarily. A happy missus equates to a blissful family, am I right? But if you’re already a mum, have you thought about getting a piece of jewellery that’s special to just you? More specifically, something that embodies the hardship and sacrifices that a mother experiences while raising a child. Enter breast milk jewellery. It is exactly what it sounds like: jewellery made with breast milk. Shocking, huh? Keepsake By Ryo is a family-run business that helps mothers turn their breast milk…

Walk down Orchard Road and you’ll see guys and girls wearing the latest Yeezy sneaker, the rarest Adidas NMDs, or that Balenciaga sock-like shoe. These exclusive sneakers are infamously hard to get, not to mention expensive, and yet a large number of people have them. So how do all these young adults afford that kind of stuff? Sometimes I wonder, “Are those shoes even authentic?”. The counterfeits these days are ridiculously identical to the authentic ones too. It’s like trying to differentiate the iPhone 6 from iPhone 6S; they look identical, until you pick it up to use it.…
