		Kelly Tandiono and Alex put the new Fitbit Ionic to the test. <media:description><![CDATA[]]></media:description>

One of the judges for season 4 of &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/culture/entertainment/asias-next-top-model-qa-antm-host-georgina-wilson-82546.html?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;Asia&#8217;s Next Top Model&#60;/a&#62;, the Indonesian actress also designs her own swimwear line and completes triathlons during her free time. So who better than the ever-active model to give the new Fitbit Ionic a try? We put the smartwatch on Kelly&#8217;s wrist and followed her around for a typical day around town: an early morning swim followed by grocery shopping at &#60;strong&#62;Cold Storage&#60;/strong&#62; and a pit-stop to devour Mexican treats at &#60;strong&#62;Vatos Urban Tacos&#60;/strong&#62;. Meanwhile, Alex starts the day with a workout and runs around town, stopping for some piping hot &#60;strong&#62;Din Tai Fung&#60;/strong&#62;&#160;Xiao Long Bao and shopping at &#60;strong&#62;ToTT&#60;/strong&#62;.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p class=&#34;p1&#34;&#62;What&#8217;s not so typical is that Kelly and Alex don&#8217;t even need to carry a wallet: they pay on-the-go with their UOB &#60;span class=&#34;s1&#34; &#62;C&#60;/span&#62;ard on the Fitbit&#60;span class=&#34;s2&#34; &#62;&#60;em&#62;&#174;&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/span&#62; &#60;span class=&#34;s2&#34; &#62;Ionic&#60;/span&#62;. And the good news is that thanks to UOB &#60;span class=&#34;s2&#34; &#62;Cards&#60;/span&#62;, you can also get your hands on the limited edition Fitbit &#60;span class=&#34;s2&#34; &#62;wearables &#60;/span&#62;designed by L.A. street artist Tristan Eaton. Simply charge to your UOB Card from now till 31 Dec 2017 and you can redeem a Fitbit Charge 2 when you spend $3,800, or a Fitbit Ionic when you spend $7,800 &#60;span class=&#34;s2&#34; &#62;Visit &#60;a href=&#34;http://uob.com.sg/xmas?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;uob.com.sg/xmas&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/a&#62; for more details.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;And although we can&#8217;t guarantee the smartwatch will give you Alex&#8217;s abs or Kelly&#8217;s determination, we&#8217;re pretty sure you&#8217;ll love paying for your ice coffee with a flick of the wrist, whether it&#8217;s after a run or just a lunch break.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p class=&#34;p1&#34;&#62;Not to mention the Fitbit Ionic&#8217;s dynamic &#60;span class=&#34;s1&#34; &#62;coaching features, onboard music, built-in GPS and heart-rate monitor&#60;/span&#62;. So if you haven&#8217;t started your Christmas shopping yet, now&#8217;s definitely a great time.&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;This post was brought to you by UOB Cards.&#160;&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;Don&#8217;t have a UOB Card?

For a Christian holiday, it has huge commercial significance and is celebrated by a diverse population of people regardless of race, ethnicity or religion. Its signature icons &#8211; &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/beauty/beauty-sos/beauty-tips-and-tricks/dazzling-jewels-holiday-gift-guide-10-sparkling-jewelry-pieces-143402.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;Santa Claus&#60;/a&#62;, Christmas trees and Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer - have little to do with its supposedly Christian origins. Even the messages it sends are mixed. It is the time for giving and receiving, humble reflection and &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/hot-spots/recommended-spots/festive-feasts-10-places-enjoy-decadent-christmas-spread-143043.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;roaring decadence&#60;/a&#62;.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Bemused by the stark contrasts? Here are 10 facts about everyone&#8217;s favourite holiday that might cause you to question life itself.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;It&#8217;s not the birthday of Jesus Christ&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;Let&#8217;s get this straight. Jesus was not born on December 25. In fact, most historians agree that he was born in the summer. Even the bible mentions that he was born during the &#8220;fullness of time&#8221; (Galatians 4:4-5), which doesn&#8217;t really describe winter.&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;Christmas kinda stole another holiday&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;So why do we think Jesus was born in the winter? December 25 was chosen as the day because it coincided with the pagan festival of Saturnalia, which celebrated the agricultural god Saturn. Many of our Christmas traditions today have roots in Saturnalia including &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/events/christmas-special/lifestyle-travel/christmas-cheer-festival-cocktails-mix-holiday-season-143040.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;partying&#60;/a&#62;, gift giving and Christmas trees. The latter was a practice done to guard the life of the tree-spirits during the barren winters.&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;Santa Claus is a complete commercial fabrication&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;The Santa we know today was created in 1804, at a meeting of the New York Historical Society, where member John Pintard handed out wooden cutouts of jolly old St. Nick. His trademarked uniform was blue, white and green till Coca Cola changed it to their company colours of red and white in their Christmas ad in the 1930s&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;Sorry, but Rudolph is fake too&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;The red-nosed reindeer was conceived by a department store called Montgomery Ward, as a marketing gimmick to promote holiday colouring books. Rudolph almost didn&#8217;t have a red nose either as Montgomery Ward thought it promoted alcoholism.&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Amanda Lim&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Photo: Getty Images&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;meta name=&#34;original-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/hk/events-hk/christmas-special-hk/lifestyle-travel-hk/4-facts-christmas-didnt-know-338032.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;syndication-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/hk/events-hk/christmas-special-hk/lifestyle-travel-hk/4-facts-christmas-didnt-know-338032.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;robots&#34; content=&#34;noindex, follow&#34; /&#62;]]></content:encoded>
