		Spring is here! And what better way to kick off a new season than to spruce up our mind, body, and soul! Our energies are in a constant flux of to-do lists, emotions and thoughts of the future, but put them aside for a few minutes each day and unwind with these 5 worry-free tips.

And what better way to kick off a new season than to spruce up our mind, body, and soul! Our energies are in a constant flux of to-do lists, emotions and thoughts of the future, but put them aside for a few minutes each day and unwind with these 5 worry-free tips.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;#1: This is a simple one &#8211; Get moving!&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Nothing releases endorphins better than a burst of movement. Maybe instead of an hour workout class, commit to a simple 15-minute flow to move the stagnant energy. Endorphins trigger positive feelings in the body. The feeling that follows a run or workout is often described as a &#34;runner&#039;s high,&#34; which allows one to have a more positive and energizing outlook on life. Equally rewarding is the face and body afterglow of a good sweat session!&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;#2: Laugh out loud⠀⠀&#60;/strong&#62;⠀⠀&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Laughter is a wonderful collaboration between the mind and body. Researchers theorize that humour helps to shift our perspectives, relaxes the body and protects the heart. One way to warm up to a big guffaw is by smiling more throughout the day. Smile as you step into a crowded bus, when you open the refrigerator, or when you take the first sip of your favourite beverage. On top of that, give yourself permission to be silly. When you can laugh at yourself or try something new, the initial attempts will be awkwardly funny and very likely to result in a lot of laughs.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;#3: Load up on collagen&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;We all know that hydration is key to healthy, supple skin but who says that you have to only drink plain water! &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.swisse.com.sg/product/swisse-ultiboost-golden-collagen-blood-orange-liquid/?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener noreferrer&#34;&#62;Swisse Ultiboost Golden Collagen Blood Orange Liquid&#60;/a&#62; contains clinically proven hydrolysed collagen which has shown to reduce the appearance of wrinkles in as little as 4 weeks*. What you may not know is that &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.swisse.com.sg/product/swisse-ultiboost-golden-collagen-blood-orange-liquid/?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener noreferrer&#34;&#62;Golden Collagen Liquid&#60;/a&#62;&#8217;s key ingredient is blood oranges from Sicily, an island from Italy. These exotic ruby red oranges are particularly known for being a potent source of antioxidants such as &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.swisse.com.sg/the-science-of-swisse/?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener noreferrer&#34;&#62;vitamin C&#60;/a&#62; and &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.swisse.com.sg/the-science-of-swisse/?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener noreferrer&#34;&#62;anthocyanin&#60;/a&#62;. Although &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.swisse.com.sg/product/swisse-ultiboost-golden-collagen-blood-orange-liquid/?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener noreferrer&#34;&#62;Golden Collagen Liquid&#60;/a&#62; is touted as an elixir to improving skin elasticity, its main reason for its popularity is taste. So why not get your gut glowing with health too with a range of yummy collagen-infused drinks that are easy to make? With recipes stretching from fresh turmeric and ginger collagen shots, to the indulgent vanilla bean sweet cream collagen iced coffee, and the tropical-themed Pina Colada smoothie, all you need is imagination and a premium bottle of &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.swisse.com.sg/product/swisse-ultiboost-golden-collagen-blood-orange-liquid/?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener noreferrer&#34;&#62;Swisse Ultiboost Golden Collagen Blood Orange Liquid&#60;/a&#62;!&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;display: block;&#34; class=&#34;wrap-img&#34; id=&#34;wrap-img-346780&#34;&#62;&#60;img loading=&#34;lazy&#34; decoding=&#34;async&#34; class=&#34;size-medium wp-image-346780 img-responsive  aligncenter&#34; src=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2019/05/swisse-ultiboost-golden-liquid-collagen-carton-v2-625x182.png&#34; alt=&#34;swisse ultiboost golden liquid collagen carton &#34; width=&#34;625&#34; height=&#34;182&#34; /&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;#4: Make delicious DIY facials&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Facials are a must-do before a big event or even just on a quiet night in (while binge-watching Game of Thrones and drinking collagen shots!). When you want your skin on maximum glow, make time for a healthy DIY turmeric face mask consisting of all natural ingredients that exfoliate, hydrate and cleanse at the same time. Mix 1 tbsp of Greek yogurt (yogurt has natural AHAs from lactic acid but it also hydrates and nourishes your skin) with 1 tsp of turmeric, 1 tsp of lemon and 1/2 tsp of honey. You can also substitute yogurt with milk or simply add extra honey &#8211; your skin and stomach cannot thank you enough!&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;#5: Practise mindfulness&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;If your life feels crammed with work and home chores, it can be hard to remember the last time you glowed with happiness. Take frequent pauses and deep breaths throughout the day for your body to reset and stay calm. See if you can slow it down. Calming activities like meditation and yoga can help you step back from the constant barrage of thoughts or if you have a more sensitive soul, keep a gratitude journal or write thank-you notes to remind yourself not to sweat the small stuff. Mindfulness works best when you set aside time to practice each day.&#60;/p&#62;   &#60;h6&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#60;em&#62;*Refers to the raw material used. Based on 2 test results on 46 and 57 healthy females (1.&#8220;Oral Supplementation of Specific Collagen Peptides Has Beneficial Effects on Human Skin Physiology: A Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study&#8221; &#8211; by Proksch E., Segger D., Degwert J., Schunck M., Zague V., Oesser S.

		With some of the best restaurants in the city whipping up local dishes like Satay and Nyonya Laksa and fusion renditions like a Chili Crab Pasta, is there a better way to celebrate National Day?

Muthu&#039;s Curry, known for its&#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/hot-spots/recommended-spots/spicy-food-fix-singapore-269609.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62; flavourful fish head curry&#60;/a&#62;, and &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/hot-spots/recommended-spots/10-trendy-hawker-centres-sg-314656.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;hipster spot&#60;/a&#62;&#160; The Coconut Club, which dishes out an elevated take on the classic Nasi Lemak, both join the list for the first time this year.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;display: block;&#34; class=&#34;wrap-img&#34; id=&#34;wrap-img-321578&#34;&#62;&#60;img loading=&#34;lazy&#34; decoding=&#34;async&#34; class=&#34;alignnone wp-image-321578 img-responsive  size-large&#34; src=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2018/07/fishheadcurry-1024x683.jpg&#34; alt=&#34;&#34; width=&#34;1024&#34; height=&#34;683&#34; /&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Hawker foods also take the spotlight. Of the 50 recipients, 28 of them can be found in our hawker centres. Among them include Chai Chuan Tou Yang Rou Tang (at Bukit Merah View Food Centre), whose piping bowls of savoury mutton soup earns it snaking queues daily.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Two Char Kway Teow establishments have also made its debut on the list (finally)! The Lao Fu Zi Fried Kway Teow (at Old Airport Road) and Outram Park Fried Kway Teow (at Hong Lim Market and Food Center) were awarded the Bib Gourmand distinctions, giving this quintessentially Singaporean dish the overdue Michelin approval it deserves.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;The Bib Gourmand award, which first launched in 1997, recognises both restaurants and street food establishments shortlisted by Michelin inspectors for offering quality cuisines at affordable prices (i.e. no more than SGD45).&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;The number of Michelin Bib awardees this year is certainly a testament to our dynamic local food scene, from our contemporary restaurants to the &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/hot-spots/recommended-spots/hawker-stalls-restaurant-worthy-237473.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;much-loved hawker stalls dishing out generations-old recipes.&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;For the full list of awardees (listed alphabetically), click &#60;a href=&#34;https://d3h1lg3ksw6i6b.cloudfront.net/media/pdf/MICHELIN_GUIDE_SINGAPORE_2018_BIB_GOURMAND_SELECTION.pdf?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;here&#60;/a&#62;.&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Sarah Khan&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Photo: The Coconut Club (header), Muthu&#039;s Curry&#160;&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;READ MORE:&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/hot-spots/recommended-spots/famous-hong-kong-restaurants-you-can-find-in-singapore-307923.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;7 Iconic Hong Kong eateries that have made their way to Singapore&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/?s=affordable+michelin+&#38;#038;utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;A Must-Try: 7 Affordable Michelin Star restaurants in Asia you must visit&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/hot-spots/recommended-spots/a-z-guide-best-local-dishes-singapore-275775.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;The Ultimate A-Z guide to the best dishes to eat in Singapore&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;meta name=&#34;original-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/dishing-out/fb-news/50-eateries-singapore-receive-2018-michelin-bib-gourmand-321576.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;syndication-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/dishing-out/fb-news/50-eateries-singapore-receive-2018-michelin-bib-gourmand-321576.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;robots&#34; content=&#34;noindex, follow&#34; /&#62;]]></content:encoded>

		Fancy a Katong Laksa cocktail? Here's why Amrith by Barsmiths might be our new favourite watering hole. <media:description><![CDATA[]]></media:description>												
								<content:encoded><![CDATA[ &#60;p&#62;In a sea of new bars and revamped menus, we confess: it can sometimes be hard to get truly excited or blown away by a new bar concept. However, we&#039;re not mincing our words when we say might have found our new favourite watering hole.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Located in the glasshouse space just outside The Song of India is &#60;strong&#62;Amrith by Barsmiths&#60;/strong&#62;, the bar extension of the&#160;&#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/hot-spots/recommended-spots/michelin-star-restaurants-asia-211701.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;one Michelin-starred restaurant.&#60;/a&#62; With its sleek glasshouse interiors and open ambience, Amrith&#039;s vibe couldn&#039;t be more perfectly poised for a bar whose approach to its drinks is so refreshing - yet remains absolutely delicious even to the average cocktail-drinker.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Its premise is simple: the cocktails are meant to showcase both local and global flavours, reinvented using modern techniques and fresh ingredients. At the helm of the bar is Head Bartender Edwin Poh and Mark Tay. The dynamic duo has managed to distil classic Singaporean and Asian dishes like the &#60;em&#62;Hainanese Chicken Rice&#60;/em&#62;, &#60;em&#62;Katong Laksa&#60;/em&#62;, and &#60;em&#62;Tom Yam&#60;/em&#62; into savoury cocktails that fuse gastronomy with mixology.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#60;strong&#62;CLASSIC SINGAPOREAN FLAVOURS DISTILLED INTO COCKTAILS&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Katong Laksa&#60;/em&#62; is a cocktail based on Ng&#039;s original family recipe. He pairs rice noodles, vodka with shrimp essence (it&#039;s a lot more promising and palatable than it sounds), with a laksa broth reduction that is topped with a homemade quail egg - all served in a little bowl for a final presentation that looks so convincing we almost forgot it was a cocktail.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;There are also personal touches to the menu. &#60;em&#62;The Peranakan&#60;/em&#62;, an ode to Tay&#039;s grandmother, is a spin on a gin sour using pandan syrup, gin strained through ginger and a delightful rose mist (which he creates himself using rose petals).&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;The cocktails are affordably priced as well (SGD24 for the Katong Laksa)&#160; - which we think it&#039;s worth the buck considering you&#039;re getting quite the multi-sensory experience as well.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#60;strong&#62;MICHELIN-STARRED BAR BITES FROM THE SONG OF INDIA&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;display: block;&#34; class=&#34;wrap-img&#34; id=&#34;wrap-img-321365&#34;&#62;&#60;img loading=&#34;lazy&#34; decoding=&#34;async&#34; itemprop=&#34;thumbnailUrl&#34; class=&#34;size-medium wp-image-321365 img-responsive  aligncenter&#34; src=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2018/07/songofindia-399x600.png&#34; alt=&#34;&#34; width=&#34;399&#34; height=&#34;600&#34; /&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Just when we thought the drinks blew us away, we learnt that Amrith serves its bar bites from the neighbouring &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/hot-spots/recommended-spots/gettin-saucy-7-romantic-indian-restaurants-to-swing-by-for-date-night-304456.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;The Song of India&#60;/a&#62;. You heard it here first: if you haven&#039;t had creamy Michelin-starred cheese naan and fragrant chicken tikka skewers with your alcohol, you&#039;re missing out.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;It might seem like a strange pairing - i.e. Indian food and cocktails. But it surprisingly works, perhaps owing to the flavour palate of the Asian-inspired drinks.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;These drinks are part of its World Journey collection on its main menu, which will be updated quarterly, each time shining a line on different regions in the world. (For this season, the spotlight&#039;s on Thailand and Netherlands.)&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#60;strong&#62;Verdict&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;display: block;&#34; class=&#34;wrap-img&#34; id=&#34;wrap-img-321364&#34;&#62;&#60;img loading=&#34;lazy&#34; decoding=&#34;async&#34; class=&#34;size-medium wp-image-321364 img-responsive  aligncenter&#34; src=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2018/07/amrith-bar-625x393.jpg&#34; alt=&#34;&#34; width=&#34;625&#34; height=&#34;393&#34; /&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;We get it: the likes of &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/hot-spots/recommended-spots/local-inspired-cocktails-singapore-277190.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;tom yam cocktails and nasi lemak concoctions&#60;/a&#62; aren&#039;t necessarily new anymore.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;But it&#039;s rare to find a bar that genuinely ticks the boxes on everything you want out of a bar: a fresh and fearless approach to mixology, great vibes and ambience, yummy bar food (peanuts or fries just don&#039;t cut it for us anymore!), and also how every sip of its concoctions are bursting with familiar local flavours.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Amrith, which actually translates to &#34;nectar of the gods&#34; in Sanskrit, might certainly be setting the bar for itself at divine-high standards. Some bars are a one-hit wonder - you pop by for a drink or two, just for the sake of it.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;But boy, these are some cocktails we&#039;d readily come back for.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Amrith is located at 33 Scotts Road and is open Monday to Thursdays (5 pm to midnight), and Fridays and Saturdays (5 pm to 1 am).&#160;&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Sarah Khan &#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Photos: Amrith&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;READ MORE:&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/hot-spots/recommended-spots/best-bars-singapore-unconventional-cocktails-284852.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;Bak Kut Teh &#38;amp; Nasi Lemak Cocktails?

Whether it&#039;s to drown their sorrows in chicken wings (hello, Brazil fans) or to celebrate a historic win (Korea!), during game nights, Singaporeans were hungry and opted massively for late night delivery options. &#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;In fact, Foodpanda enjoyed nearly a 40 % increase in sales compared to a regular day - now that&#8217;s a lot of people opting for a&#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/hot-spots/night-owls-late-night-dining-supper-craving-85062.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#item=1&#34;&#62; late-night supper&#60;/a&#62;.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#60;strong&#62;MOST POPULAR FOODS&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;The five most ordered foods from Foodpanda were included quintessential &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/hot-spots/recommended-spots/bar-food-singapore-268037.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#item=1&#34;&#62;Western bar bites:&#60;/a&#62; &#60;strong&#62;pizza, burgers, and chicken wings, as well as&#160; Asian &#039;drunk food&#039; like &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/hot-spots/recommended-spots/top-10-spots-halal-dim-sum-kl-314053.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#item=1&#34;&#62;dim sum&#60;/a&#62; and &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/hot-spots/recommended-spots/best-sushi-bars-in-singapore-175037.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#item=1&#34;&#62;sushi&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/strong&#62;.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#60;strong&#62;THE HUNGRIEST DAY...&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;They say that &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/hot-spots/recommended-spots/best-mac-cheese-singapore-214950.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#item=1&#34;&#62;food is the most primitive form of comfort&#60;/a&#62;, and the World Cup certainly proved that! According to Foodpanda, the most popular day for World Cup gastronomania was &#60;strong&#62;July 7&#60;/strong&#62;, the&#160;night of the nail-biting semifinals between England vs. Sweden and Russia vs. Croatia. &#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;And get this: watchers usually place their orders pre-match so that their food is delivered &#60;em&#62;during &#60;/em&#62;the match. You might scratch your heads as to why they would want to be interrupted by the doorbell, but there you have it.&#60;strong&#62;&#160;&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#60;strong&#62;... AND&#160;THE HUNGRIEST NEIGHBOURHOODS&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;Interestingly, there wasn&#8217;t an East-West competition regarding the most hungry regions in Singapore, considering how &#60;strong&#62;Singapore&#039;s Central and Eastern areas,&#60;/strong&#62; as well as&#60;strong&#62;&#160;Hougang/Sengkang, &#60;/strong&#62;had the most numbers of people who ordered in.
