Seiko Prospex Bamboo Grove Limited Edition
What’s special about this watch is that it is part of Seiko’s Save the Forest project, which came after the success of the brand’s Save the Ocean campaign. Here, Seiko proves its commitment to helping conserve forests in Thailand by paying homage to the conservative Sueb Nakasathien and his foundation.
Inspired by the tranquil beauty of the bamboo forest, this model boasts a dial in a lush shade of bamboo green. The dial’s surface is also a work of art. It’s created with a unique technique that mimics the intricate pattern of bamboo weaving. Another aspect that sets this piece apart is its box, which was crafted in collaboration with PDM Brand, a renowned Thai furniture store. The box, fashioned in a cylindrical shape, draws inspiration from the majestic bamboo tree. Moreover, this edition is even more special due to its affordable price point and exclusive availability only in Thailand. – Pannatorn Tamnipanon, Senior Writer
Junya Watanabe x New Balance 1906R Loafers
New Balance has been making waves in the past few years, transforming the image of dad sneakers and making them cool. However, who would have thought they could take it to the next level of coolness by introducing a loafer?
Behind this innovative move is Junya Watanabe, who recently debuted the Fall/Winter 2024 collection at Paris Fashion Week. During the event, the label showcased its collaboration, transforming New Balance’s 1906R sneaker into a preppy loafer. We are definitely feeling the vibe and can’t wait to get our hands on them when they hit the shelves during the Fall 2024 season. – Aekkachai Angkulthivakorn, Managing Editor
Pearl Skin Booster by Gem Scientific Beauty
In today’s fast-paced world, taking care of ourselves properly can be difficult due to time constraints. Recently, I have been loving this dietary supplement called the Pearl Skin Booster by Gem Scientific Beauty. As someone who loves everything related to skincare, I know that nourishing the skin from the outside may not always be enough. This supplement contains incredible ingredients, such as Rose Placenta Extract, Astaxanthin, White Jelly Mushroom, Rice Ceramide, Cerepron (Yeast Extract), and Strawberry Extract. This unique blend helps to even out skin tone and increase skin elasticity by stimulating collagen production. It’s like a beauty treatment in a bottle! – Tipapa Chandarasrivongs, Content Writer
HARNN White Tea & Camellia Body Oil
Currently, more and more people choose body oils over lotion because they’re more effective at nourishing the skin. One of our favourites is the HARNN’s White Tea & Camellia Body Oil. This product is so good we had to add it to our Weekly Obsessions. It comes in a convenient spray bottle that makes it easy to use. The product also has a light texture that absorbs quickly without leaving an oily residue. Unlike other body oils that can be heavy and greasy, you can use it every day without worrying about feeling weighed down.
This body oil is made up of 98.3% natural ingredients, such as olive oil, calendula oil, and oil extracted from sea buckthorn seeds, which are rich in vitamins. The product leaves your skin super soft and smooth, but most importantly, it also has a lovely natural fragrance that will make you feel like you just left the spa. – P.T., Senior Writer
Blue Giant animation film
Have you ever felt like the fire in your dreams has gone out? Well, this animation is here to bring that passion back to life. It’s about Dai, a young boy who moves from a small town to Tokyo to follow his dream of becoming a great jazz musician. He spends hours practising his saxophone under a bridge, creating soul-stirring melodies. His goal? To be the best jazz musician in the world. Along with his musician friend facing challenges on the road to creating the greatest jazz band, this film just adds an extra layer of depth.
The result is a beautifully crafted story with amazing animated visuals. Everything looks great, with crisp and expressive animation that hits all the right notes, not missing a beat and making you feel everything to the core. – A.A., Managing Editor
The Smoke House BBQ Pork Spareribs Wrap by Ohkajhu
I saw this wrap all over TikTok, and like the olive oil ice cream, so I decided to try it this week. Let me tell you, it’s one of the best wraps I’ve ever tasted. It’s massive and stuffed with meltingly tender BBQ ribs and a cranberry foie gras sausage bursting with flavour. To top it off, it’s packed with fresh veggies and sweet potato fries, adding a satisfying crunch to every bite. Despite it being a bit pricey, it’s honestly worth it. You can easily split this dish between two to three people. – T.C., Content Writer
Drinking is best during the day, especially when at brunch. If she's not working, catch her at the gym or socializing with friends. An introvert extrovert at heart. She's a Capricorn.
