Livin' La Vari Na-Dah

Sorry for not posting in ages.

I have to admit that since starting this blog 6 years ago, I have been shifting my focus on writing freelance for magazines (Her World, TIMID, Vice and ELLE Singapore), content creation (on IG and TikTok) as well as my business, Soeng Signature.

Not only does it take a lot of time, it left me feeling like I needed to figure out what I want to write here. However, it was more than just me trying to figure things out. It was also about me wriggling out of the cocoon to become the woman I always wanted to be: authentic, confident and strong.

Ok, I have been authentic, but not authentic enough to feel connected to who I am now. To represent this change, I have renamed the blog to my old radio show in college: Livin’ La Vari Na-Dah.

Livin’ La Vari Na-Dah was a representation of what was ticking in my brain as I have a variety of things that occupy my head whether it’s pop culture, fashion, reality TV, dating, etc. On this blog, I have mainly covered only fashion, beauty, pop culture and lifestyle. Additionally, I did do a fun column, Man Crush Monday, which was an educational moment in trying to figure out the brains of men. I also featured fun interviews with legends like Velvet Coke and Kimbino, whom I dearly admire and love for their attention to detail and passion on Instagram.

While traveling abroad in Europe, I turned 30. From 23 to 30, I realized that:

A) My aspirations have changed since moving back to Singapore for the past 6 years and of course, a pandemic shifted everything

B) I have not been vulnerable enough to forge a stronger connection with you

C) A lot of you deserve to have quality content and to make up for that, I aim to start a subscription plan where it’ll be $10 USD p/month

I am mega excited to share more of my life with you and I hope you will continue to follow me on this new journey!
