 Freehold apartment Bijou topped the list of private non-landed residential developments to hit a new psf-price peak in the week of May 26 to June 2. It scored a new high of $2,561 psf when a 753 sq ft one-bedder on the fifth floor changed hands for $1.93 million on May 26.
This edges out Bijou’s previous record of $2,538 psf, jointly held by two developer sales at the project’s launch in 2014. The apartments, spanning 764 and 786 sq ft, fetched $1.94 million and $1.99 million, respectively. Located along Jalan Mat Jambol in District 5, Bijou is a low-rise development housing 120 apartments. The majority are one-bedders measuring between 506 and 775 sq ft. The development also features a retail podium with 15 commercial units. Bijou is within a four-minute walk of Pasir Panjang MRT Station, while nearby dining and lifestyle amenities at Labrador Tower and Alexandra Retail Centre are about a three-minute drive away. In terms of absolute price, the most expensive transaction at the development is a 1,324 sq ft apartment that was sold for $2.74 million ($2,068 psf) by the developer in August 2014. The second-highest psf-price peak for the week came from a 958 sq ft, two-bedroom unit at One Amber. The 22nd-floor unit fetched $2.43 million ($2,537 psf) on May 29. The previous psf-price high at the condo was recorded a month earlier, with the sale of a 1,259 sq ft unit for $3.07 million ($2,434 psf) on April 20. Going by caveats compiled by EdgeProp Singapore, One Amber has an average resale price of $2,314 psf, based on transactions over the last 12 months. This is higher than nearby developments such as Ola Residences and Vertis, which average $1,353 and $1,930 psf, respectively, but still trails newer projects such as Amber Park at $2,894 psf. One Amber is a freehold condominium located off Mountbatten Road in District 15, completed in 2010.The 562-unit development comprises a mix of one- to four-bedroom units of 570 to 3,100 sq ft. There are also four-bedroom penthouses spanning 2,659 to 3,541 sq ft. Meanwhile, only one development set a new psf-price low during the period in review. At Marina One Residences, a 786 sq ft one-bedder changed hands for $1.32 million on May 29, setting a new record low of $1,680 psf at the 99-year leasehold development. The deal marks the first time an apartment at the development has been transacted below the $1,700 psf threshold. The previous record low of $1,701 psf was set just one day earlier, when a smaller 764 sq ft apartment was sold for $1.32 million. Located along Marina Way in District 1, Marina One Residences is part of the larger Marina One integrated development, which includes Grade A office towers and retail components. Completed in 2017, the 99-year leasehold project houses 1,042 apartments with one- to four-bedroom layouts of 764 to 2,250 sq ft. The development is within a three- to six-minute walk from Shenton Way, Downtown and Marina Bay MRT stations. Nearby food and retail options include Marina Bay Link Mall and Marina Bay Sands. Caveats lodged show that the development has logged 19 resale deals in 2026 thus far, at an average price of $1,941 psf. Excluding the May 28 and 29 transactions, the remaining apartments — sized between 657 and 1,593 sq ft — were transacted at prices ranging from $1,716 to $2,140 psf.

For the first time, since the 1930s “reefer madness,” marijuana is once again legal in certain states. This is thanks to the recognized medical benefits of cannabidiol (CBD) oil extracted from the plants from the cannabis genus. Medicinal marijuana is legal in the majority of the states in the US, including Virginia, and with the help of Green Health Docs, patients can now get their medical cannabis card online in order to start their natural healing journey.
CBD, due to its medicinal properties, is increasingly becoming the subject of many scientific studies, while finding its way onto shelves of significant pharmacies. However, not all cannabis plants are the same, which raises the question about the origin of cannabis-derived products and their differences. In this article, we’ll discuss the differences of the cannabis plant, and more importantly, the variations of CBD oils derived from different plants. Hemp vs. Weed To better understand the differences between the products derived from marijuana or hemp, we must first differentiate the two plans. Cannabis refers to a genus of plants that has several species, and two classifications: hemp and marijuana. While the difference between species falls under the domain of botany, the classifications of plants are purely for legal causes. The classifications of cannabis plants are devised to separate the intoxicating cannabis, from non-intoxication cannabis. And though weed and hemp look almost the same, they’re quite different when it comes to chemical contents. One of the first differences is the content of THC, the active ingredient of cannabis, which gets you high. Hemp, to be federally legal, must contain less than 0.3% of THC. Weed, which is only permitted in several states, has more than 0.3% THC, with some strains having 30% THC or more. Having low levels of THC, hemp plants are not likely to get you high, unlike marijuana. Marijuana, with 0.3% or more THC, is classified as a Schedule 1 drug, which means it has no accepted medical and industrial use. Hemp, on the other hand, being federally legal, has an extensive industrial use, ranging from food, textile, construction, and paper industry. Being so different, these plants do have one thing in common – they both produce cannabidiol or CBD. However, people tend to believe there’s a difference in CBD based on which plant it was derived from. So, let’s take a look. The Difference in CBD Both plants, though from the same family, feature different chemical compounds. However, on a molecular level, there is no difference between hemp-derived and weed-derived CBD. Regardless of where it came from, CBD remains molecularly identical. However, from a legal perspective, things aren’t so simple. For some states, the legality of CBD largely depends on the source plant. If the state hasn’t legalized medical marijuana, CBD derived from weed is considered illegal. But, if the state allowed recreational marijuana use, the same rules apply to weed-derived CBD products. Hemp-derived CBD products and oils are a different story altogether. Hemp is now considered an agricultural commodity and is federally legal, and so are its CBD products. Still, most states have specific regulations regarding these products. It would help if you kept in mind that cannabis-derived CBD oil may contain traces of THC, which may be detected during a drug test. If you’re facing a mandatory drug test, after ingesting cannabis-derived CBD oil, it’s highly recommended that you perform a THC detox. THC and Contamination While the molecular difference of CBD remains the same, despite its source, the CBD products derived from different plants may have some differences. The hemp plant is known for removing pollutants from the soil, like heavy metals and other chemicals. If the levels of these contaminants within the plant are high, they may potentially taint CBD products derived from these plants. Weed is usually grown in better-controlled conditions, and the risk of chemical pollution is small. It also has a higher concentration of resin, yielding higher quantities of THC and CBD oils. However, if not properly isolated, CBD products may contain traces of THC, which is why hemp-derived CBD has a more significant medical application. Conclusion Despite its origins, CBD remains CBD. If properly isolated, CBD products sourced from marijuana are no different than those gained from hemp. Still, keep in mind that whole-plant or full-spectrum CBD products derived from weed may contain small quantities of THC. In the end, you should always use CBD oils that have been third-party tested and passed safety regulations.  Hair loss is common, and there are many different reasons why we might lose more hair than usual. Things like over-styling, dying our hair, cold weather and heat damage can cause hairs to break, or even fall from the follicle. Some medical conditions can cause hair loss, and another reason you might have noticed more hairs falling out than usual is stress. Below is a look at why stress can cause hair loss and some things that you can do about it.
What Is Stress Related Hair Loss? We all lose hair every day. Even with the right care, it’s common to lose up to 150 strands of hair every single day. So, a bit of hair coming out when you brush or wash it or finding the occasional strand on your jumper isn’t anything to worry about. However, stress can cause a more significant loss of hair due to a disruption to our hair growth cycle. We all have around 100,000 hair follicles on our heads, each of which grows an individual hair. During the hair cycle, each hair goes through the growth phase, the resting phase and then the shedding phase. Each follicle’s cycle is on a slightly different time frame, so you can lose 150 hairs a day, without ever noticing. When we’re stressed out, our bodies can respond by pushing more hairs through in the growth phase. Which in a few months, means that you have extra hairs entering the shedding phase. No one is really sure why, but it’s believed that it could be due to our hormonal stress response. You might not notice stress-related hair loss straight away, and unfortunately, because of the hair’s natural cycle, you can continue to lose more hairs than usual for months or even years, as your follicles take time to recover, and your hair gets back to their normal cycle. Another cause of stress-related hair loss is hair pulling. Many of us have coping mechanisms, often sub-conscious, when we are dealing with stress, and hair pulling is a common one. Is Stress-Related Hair Loss Common? Yes. We all deal with stress in different ways, but it’s not uncommon for one of your body’s responses to be changes to your hair cycle and your hair follicle’s ability to function properly. But the good news is, there’s plenty that you can do about it. Let’s take a look. Find A Treatment There are some self-care practices that you can do to reduce stress and take care of your hair. But sometimes you need a little more help. If you are worried about your hair loss or suspect that you have female pattern hair loss, then you should find a women’s hair loss treatment to help. The right women’s hair loss treatment can stimulate growth and reduce loss whether you are struggling with stress-related loss or a hereditary condition. Eat A Healthy Diet Eating a healthy diet can reduce stress and keep your body working at its best. A diet that’s rich in nutrients and vitamins can keep your hair shiny and strong. Eating less greasy or fatty foods can also help to stop your hair from getting so greasy and will mean that you don’t need to wash it as often. You’ll also find that if you cook a lot of greasy food, your hair and skin get greasy and you’ll have spot breakouts, and your hair will look oily. Massage Your Scalp Massaging your scalp is a fantastic way to boost blood flow and stimulate hair growth. This can help to reduce the appearance of any thin patches and keep your scalp healthy. Most people find that massaging their scalp while they are washing their hair is the easiest way to do it. If your scalp is very dry and flaky, however, massaging a hair oil into it before you get to bed, and then washing your hair the next day can help to add hydration and reduce dryness. Find Ways To Manage Stress The effects of stress-related hair loss can last for a while, so finding ways to reduce hair loss and stimulate growth is a great way to reduce the appearance of thinner or bald patches. But, ultimately, the best way to keep stress-related hair loss at bay is to find ways to manage and reduce your stress levels.
Finding ways to reduce stress is the best thing that you can do to permanently reduce or prevent stress-related hair loss, but you might still need treatment, and to take better care of your scalp and hair if you want to stimulate growth and keep your hair healthy and strong.

The two-storey conserved shophouse has a built-up area of around 2,000 sq ft, which means the price works out to about $4,500 psf.
Savills Singapore has been appointed as the exclusive marketing agent for the property. Zoned for commercial use, the shophouse currently houses a hair salon on the first floor, while the second floor is vacant, the firm says. The sale of 6 Jalan Pisang comes amid growing interest in properties outside traditionally high-profile stretches in Kampong Glam such as Haji Lane and Arab Street, observes Yap Hui Yee, executive director for investment sales and capital markets at Savills Singapore. “Buyers are increasingly looking beyond the main tourist corridors and paying attention to smaller heritage streets with a more curated and distinctive tenant mix,” she says. Yap adds that the quieter streets tend to attract occupiers seeking a more distinct identity and a “less commercialised environment”. Currently, businesses along Jalan Pisang include old-school bakery Uncle Lee Confectionery, thrift shop-cum-cafe TwoWorld and Nashville-style fried chicken eatery Chix Hot Chicken. Yap also points out that shophouse transaction activity on Jalan Pisang is rare, with only four caveated transactions since 2014. Many owners have little pressure to divest, especially given the district’s continued evolution into a lifestyle and creative hub, she adds. The last caveated transaction on Jalan Pisang was the sale of a shophouse with a land area of 815 sq ft that fetched $6.88 million in September 2023.  Grab Singapore will fully sponsor a $388 onboarding package for up to 70 food and beverage (F&B) operators new to its platform under a new programme for small and independent merchants.
The initiative is part of the group’s ‘Grab Full House Mission’, which combines consumer promotions with merchant training and support. The programme also includes precinct-based Dine Out campaigns on Grab Dine Out, developed with Enterprise Singapore (EnterpriseSG). The first campaign will run in Tanjong Pagar until 25 July, with similar campaigns planned later this year in Holland Village and Jalan Besar. The mission also includes merchant capability-building initiatives through GrabAcademy, which will conduct four workshops or masterclasses annually over the next three years for F&B merchants. The sessions will cover business productivity, menu and promotion strategies, talent management, and the use of digital and artificial intelligence tools. Grab and EnterpriseSG will also publish free bi-annual industry insight reports for F&B businesses, covering consumer trends, AI adoption and digital marketing. The group will also hold monthly neighbourhood sessions to provide operators with one-on-one support on in-app visibility, operations, troubleshooting and optimisation.  You’ve probably heard a lot of hype about CBD oil. Proponents of this substance derived from the cannabis plant claim it can treat anything from chronic back and fibromyalgia pain to migraines. However, can it help those with mental illnesses too?
Research indicates that CBD oil holds potential in treating a host of mental health conditions. Patients can use it independently or in conjunction with other holistic and allopathic remedies. Could this miracle oil help you? Read on to discover more. What Is CBD Oil? Doesn’t It Get You High? The cannabis plant contains a host of different chemical substances. The two most prevalent are THC and CBD, with THC acting as the psychoactive ingredient in the plant. It’s what’s responsible for making you feel “high.” CBD is the second most prevalent substance in cannabis, but it also exists in the hemp plant. It doesn’t make you feel high. Because the former remains a Schedule 1 substance under federal law, research to date is limited. However, according to the World Health Organization, no evidence of public health problems created by the use of CBD exists. Five Ways CBD Oil Benefits Mental Health Many people who turn to CBD oil do so to remedy chronic pain — but that doesn’t include only physical agony. The substance may treat the following conditions of the mind, as well. 1. Seizure Disorders CBD oil holds tremendous promise in treating seizure disorders. Many people point to the story of Charlotte Figi, the child whose family moved to Colorado and benefited tremendously from CBD oil. Figi went from enduring over 300 seizures a week to once every seven days — a drastic improvement. Since her story made national headlines, thousands flocked to Colorado to try the oil. Many patients with disorders like Parkinson’s disease, a condition that causes uncontrollable tremors, also testify to the oil’s efficacy. As a result, more CBD-based drugs are being researched and approved for epileptic conditions every day. Indeed, the FDA recently approved a drug that contains CBD to treat Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, a rare and severe form of childhood-onset epilepsy. 2. Anxiety and Depression CBD oil shows promise in treating anxiety and depression, two of the most common mental health disorders. Millions of American adults find their quality of life hindered by these conditions. While multiple psychiatric drugs exist to treat both ailments, many of these carry a host of unpleasant side effects, including cognitive impairment. In one experiment, researchers treated 24 patients with generalized anxiety disorder with either CBD oil or a placebo. They then created an artificially stressful environment involving public speaking to test responses. Pre-treatment with CBD significantly reduced anxiety and discomfort in their speech performance. As importantly, the participants receiving the oil experienced no cognitive impairment or decrease in alertness. The effects of CBD on depression are less clear. While the oil itself doesn’t impact serotonin levels, it does affect the way the neurotransmitter binds to molecules in the brain. Researchers believe the substance is efficient in treating depression spurred by stress. However, little evidence supports its use as the only remedy for this condition. 3. Schizophrenia Psychiatrists often advise patients with schizophrenia to avoid cannabis because the psychoactive component, THC, may cause more severe hallucinations. However, CBD shows promise in treating the condition. In one double-blind trial, participants who have the disorder received either CBD oil or a placebo along with their existing antipsychotic medications. After six weeks of treatment, the patients who took CBD oil exhibited fewer psychotic symptoms, and researchers rated them as improved. 4. Bipolar Like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder has a complicated relationship with cannabis products. Researchers found an association, although not necessarily a causal relationship, between daily cannabis use and an earlier onset of the condition. However, bipolar disorder contains an element of brain inflammation, something the non-hallucinogenic oil may treat. Your body possesses an innate endocannabinoid system, and CBD uses this pathway to protect neurons from inflammatory harm. 5. Insomnia Herbalists throughout the millennia turn to derivatives of the cannabis plant to remedy sleeplessness. While not a psychiatric disorder in itself, prolonged insomnia can lead to sleep-deprivation psychosis, a severe condition. Because CBD oil calms anxiety effectively, it offers promise in silencing the racing thoughts that keep many tossing and turning. Remedy Mental Health Issues Naturally With CBD Oil Before starting any supplement regimen, it’s always wise to consult with your physician. However, if you have any of the conditions above, you may find CBD oil offers much-needed relief. And when it comes to finances, CBD can be quite expensive in the long run so try to look for discounts online.  Many of us have a go-to favourite perfume. One we’ve been wearing for years. One that evokes a sensory collection of memories and moments in our lives. The familiar scent that seems to capture the very essence of who we are. And whilst we clearly love it, after all we wouldn’t have worn it for so long if we didn’t, how do we really know that it’s our perfect perfume?
Choosing a new perfume can be a tricky task, especially when you don’t really know what suits your body chemistry. You see, different scents smell differently on different people. So, a perfume that smells absolutely incredible on your best mate, might not be anywhere near as nice on you. And then of course there’s the fact that there are so many different perfumes out there, all with their own luxuriant packaging and glamourous ad campaigns, it’s no wonder we’re sticking to our tried and tested bottle of lancome. If you’re considering trying a new bottle of perfume, or perhaps you’re looking to drop a few hints to the hubby before he makes a last minute dash for your Christmas present, have a read of our guide to help you discover your scent profile in the quest to find your perfect perfume. What Is A Scent Profile? Fragrances are split into four main olfactory (smell) families:
There is also a lesser known category called Fougère, which sits in the centre of the fragrance wheel (a scent classification method created in 1983 by Michael Edwards) and contains fragrance elements from all 4 of the categories above. Because of this, Fougère scents are incredibly versatile and appeal to both men and women. Your scent profile is made up of the scents that appeal to you the most. They are not in any way limiting, so it’s perfectly normal to like more than one. However, you will discover that there are some categories that appeal to you more than others. For example, I much prefer a sweeter more floral scent over one that is woody. It may require some trial and error, but that is precisely why perfume counters exist, for you to try before you buy. I’ve got some more tips to share with you on this in a moment, but for now let’s get back to discovering your scent profile. It’s worth taking a look at that favourite perfume we mentioned at the beginning of this article, because that could hold the secret of your scent profile. If it doesn’t have a fragrance description on the bottle, some quick online research will tell you what aromas are held within. This will help guide you towards other perfumes you may like, that are from the same or a similar fragrance family. But there’s one other thing we need to take into account when looking for a perfect perfume… The Different Layers Of A Fragrance Have you ever noticed that when you wear perfume it can smell very different when you first spray it on compared to how it smells a few hours later? This is all to do with the different layers (or notes) of the perfume and this is another important factor when it comes to figuring out a perfume that works for you. There are three different levels to a perfume: Top notes – This is the scent we smell first and is often the smell that convinces us whether to buy or not. It is a somewhat superficial scent however, as it hasn’t had time to react with the skin or to warm up and display its true aroma. Top notes are used as a means to lure us in, so they usually rely on the stronger fruity, green, aromatic, and citrus scents. Middle notes – This is the scent that you can smell after wearing the perfume for about an hour. Also known as the heart notes, the middle notes are well rounded and add depth to a fragrance. Common scents used as middle notes include: rose, geranium, neroli and lavender. Base notes – This is the part of the perfume that lingers the longest, where your true signature scent lies. Base notes are intense and are composed of heavier molecules than the top and middle notes. Examples of common base notes are vanilla, musk, amber, and cedarwood. Now that we’ve learnt a bit more about scent families and the different notes of a fragrance we’re all a bit more clued up on what to look out for on the hunt for our perfect perfume. It’s now time to take this knowledge to the perfume counter and start trying out some different scents. How Can You Find The Right Perfume For You? Knowing whether you prefer a floral fragrance over a woody one is certainly a step in the right direction, but you’re going to need more than that if you want to find your perfect perfume. Here are a few tips to help you out:
Choosing a new perfume needn’t be a difficult task, but it does require some effort and a little bit of research beforehand. Not only will this save you money in the long term, but it will also ensure you use a perfume that you love and that evokes certain emotions when you wear it. Our sense of smell is a powerful thing and the perfume we wear can say so much about ourselves to others. Hopefully this article will help you on your way to working out your scent profile so that you can then discover the perfect perfume for you.  When you think of bolo bun AKA Hong Kong-style pineapple buns in Singapore, Champion Bolo Bun is likely the first name that comes to mind. Since opening its flagship three-storey outlet in the bustling Tanjong Pagar in 2021, the brand has consistently attracted fanfare for its freshly baked Hong Kong-style bolo buns and signature beverages. For baked goods lovers, freshness is often the top priority—and that’s exactly what Champion Bolo Bun delivers. Every bun is baked fresh on-site in small batches throughout the day, ensuring optimal quality. To underscore its commitment to freshness, the brand also allows customers to exchange their bun for a freshly baked replacement on a one-for-one basis if it is not enjoyed within 20 minutes of purchase. Food at Champion Bolo Bun  We went straight for the Classic with Butter ($5.55+). Despite its name, a bolo bun doesn’t actually contain any pineapple. Instead, the pastry gets its name from its signature golden-brown topping, which bakes into a crackly, crosshatched crust resembling a pineapple’s skin.  A rich, buttery aroma came through immediately with the first bite, setting the tone for the bolo bun. Its cloud-like interior was exceptionally soft and airy, while the top layer provided a crisp, sugary contrast. The slab of butter melted almost instantly in the warm bun, enriching it with extra creamy depth.  That same crisp exterior was also present in the Curry Potato ($6.50+), which was rounder and noticeably larger than the bolo bun, largely thanks to its generous curry filling, which packed a subtle spicy kick. Inside, generous chunks of potato and tender pieces of meat added substance and textural contrast to every bite. Together, the flavourful curry and fluffy bun made for a hearty pairing, though it does lean towards the heavier side.  Surprisingly, the standout item was the French Cold Tarte ($7+). Unlike a traditional egg tart, this version featured a biscuit-like crust that is finely baked and very delicate, offering a firmer bite that set it apart from the typical flaky version.  This perfectly complemented the smooth and luscious egg custard filling, which was exceptionally creamy. It boasted a dense yet velvety texture that melts effortlessly on the palate, while the lightly caramelised top lends a subtle toasty sweetness that further elevated the tart’s flavours.  Unlike your usual teh bing, their Champions Milk Tea ($5.50+) was brewed with Sri Lankan tea leaves, giving it a pronounced tea fragrance alongside the creamy richness of evaporated milk. However, it was overly sweet: while the first few sips were enjoyable, the sweetness quickly became overwhelming, making the drink difficult to finish. Ambience at Champion Bolo Bun  The aesthetic at Champion Bolo Bun is warm and inviting, blending industrial grey tones with rattan and wooden fixtures lined with potted greenery. There are three storeys in this cafe, with the largest seating capacity on the second floor. It does get quite packed during afternoon tea hours, but tables tend to turn over fairly quickly.
Champion Bolo Bun is a five-minute walk from Tanjong Pagar MRT. Although the items at Champion Bolo Bun come at a premium, that is justified by the quality of the ingredients and execution across the board. Since most cafes today are rather expensive, the prices here are not unreasonable for what you are getting. Not everyone has the opportunity to fly to Hong Kong for an authentic bolo bun experience, and Champion Bolo Bun does a commendable job of bringing a taste of it much closer to home. Address: 92 Tanjong Pagar Road, Singapore 088513 Opening hours: Mon-Fri 10am to 7pm, Sat-Sun 8:30am to 7pm Website Champion Bolo Bun is not halal-certified. |
