7 THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN BUYING PROPERTIES IN SINGAPORE
If you’re considering buying your first property in Singapore, then take a look at our following guide. We’ll be listing some advice for the process of buying houses in Singapore and how you can find the perfect property for you. Keep reading to learn more.
Buying Property In Singapore
There are some restrictions when it comes to what types of property foreign buyers can purchase in Singapore, and there could be some legal hoops you have to jump through before going ahead with a purchase. If you’re a foreigner, you will need permission from the government to buy landed property. Apartments, however, will likely be a lot easier to purchase. Make sure you’ve done your due diligence before going ahead with buying property in Singapore and follow the guidelines for purchasing as a foreigner.
Deciding On The Property Type
The first thing you will need to decide on is the type of property you are looking for. You’ll likely already have a good idea of what this may be, but this could change as you go along and learn more about the market or what you can afford. You might have to alter your original idea of what you wanted. If you’re looking for yourself, then consider what you need functionally and ideally from a home in Singapore. If it’s as an investment opportunity, then what will your target audience be looking for and what would best fit into your portfolio?
Come Up With A Realistic Budget
You’ll need to have a budget in mind for the property you’re going to buy. Maybe do a quick bit of research into property prices in the area to get a rough idea of what kind of budget you’d be working with for what you’re looking for. Consider what aspects of a house you would be necessities and which you could potentially compromise on. This will help you to narrow down your search and bring down the cost if necessary. Once you have a clearer idea of the kind of budget you’ll be working with, it will help you to conduct more efficient property hunts.
Property Prices In Singapore
Property prices in Singapore will vary depending on the specific location and what you’re looking for from the property, but generally, prices are quite high. You should expect the cost of housing to be more expensive than in a lot of other countries. It’s expected that Singapore will see a steady increase in property prices further in the future. This does, however, make it a great place to invest into property and rentals.
Narrow Down Your Chosen Location
Narrowing down the location of where you want your property to be located will help you to conduct more productive searches and find something that really fits your criteria. It will also give you a better understanding of the prices you’re going to be working with. Make sure to look into these areas first to find out if they have everything you’re looking for either for yourself or for an investment opportunity. What kind of audience would the property be appealing to if it was to be sued as an investment? Would it fit the portfolio you’re trying to build and could there be any downsides to investing in this specific area of Singapore?
Applying For A Mortgage
Once you know the kind of budget you’ll be working with and where you intend to purchase, you’ll need to apply for a mortgage. Research the different banks that could provide you with a mortgage and submit your application when you’ve decided which one to choose. To help you get an idea of what you can afford to borrow, use this online mortgage affordability calculator for Singapore. They might have specific documentation they will require from you, and this could vary from bank to bank. Once this has been done, they might offer you an IPA (in-principal approval) which will outline how much you can qualify to borrow from them. A good mortgage advisor will help to guide you through the process and help answer any questions you might have if it’s your first time applying for a mortgage in Singapore.
Finding A Real Estate Agent
When you’re searching for estate agents in Singapore, the first step to help you narrow down your search is to find someone local to the areas in which you’re interested. Once you’ve found some options, make sure that they’re licensed agents. It could also be helpful to try and find an agent that specializes in the type of property you’re looking for. Perhaps read through reviews from previous clients to get an idea of how helpful they could be in your search. Ideally, they should have years of expertise under their belt and will have an excellent reputation.

INVENTING ANNA
Netflix Originals
Netflix
Anna Delvey was a NY It Girl heiress on the move and was on the way to create a social club that allowed the elite sect of NYC and artists to come together. Anna worked to get the appropriate funding to ensure that her vision would be everything she thought it could be. She went on a number of meetings, met the right people and even created an inner circle of sorts that kept her finger on the pulse of what was going on.
The only part that was missing was that she was not a rich heiress waiting for her trust fund or for her father not to cut her off. She was a woman filled with ambition ready to move the chess pieces that she needed and left debts and embarrassment to those that connected with her that didn't know her full story.
In Inventing Anna, Shonda Rhimes delves into this story that has been the subject of a number of podcasts to dig deep into the players involved and additional information on this story that continues to evolve.

KNOW-HOW: AESTHETIC MEDICAL EQUIPMENT TO TREAT YOUR SCARS
Scars are unpleasant and make people feel uncomfortable while meeting new people. To understand what scars are for, they help the body repair and replace lost or damaged skin and made of fibrous tissue. Everybody may experience scars that can occur everywhere on the body. A scar's composition varies as well. It can be colored, flat, or bumpy. It may itch or hurt and, for some, be risky. Many injuries can change the appearance of a scar—a scar's appearance, influenced by skin type and location.
Additionally, there are numerous causes for a person to have visible spots. A small or easily concealed scar is not always nasty. Whether it is or not, you may be wondering if there is a way to treat it that may cause it to disappear or at the very least improve its appearance. One of the best ways to resolve the scar problem is consulting and finding the best aesthetic medical equipment.
Today's piece will assist individuals experiencing difficult days due to noticeable scars and offer knowledge with the best aesthetic medical equipment. But first, let's identify different types of spots common to people.
Guide to Understand Scar Type
Scars come in a variety of shapes and sizes, including the following:
Contracture scars
Acne scars
Keloid scars
Hypertrophic scars
Contracture scars
Burned skin causes contracture scars, and these scars can make your skin tighter, making it hard to move. Also, contracture scars may go deeper, affecting muscles, nerves, and skin. There are some different surgical options for contractures. Skin grafts or skin flaps, a Z-plasty, and tissue expansion are some of the things that can help.
Acne scars
If you've had much acne, you've probably have scars. Itchy breakouts can leave scars if they penetrate deep enough into the skin. Acne scars range from deep pits to angular or wave-like spots. There are various methods for getting rid of acne scars. It's critical to identify your scars before treating them. Remember, treatment works differently for each kind.
Keloid scars
Keloid scars are groups of scar tissue that form at the site of a wound on the skin. Most of the time, they're reddish-brown or darker than the rest of the skin is and made up of collagen, which the body makes when it heals from a wound. After skin damage, keloid scars may start to show up on your skin for a year. Radiation, laser surgery, surgery, silicon dioxide, pressure therapy, cryotherapy, and silicone dioxide are all ways to treat your condition.
Hypertrophic scars
Hypertrophic scars and keloid scars look the same to the naked eye, but they are not the same thing. Hypertrophic scars may be easier to treat because they only grow in the area of the original skin defect. However, these scars may also be red, thick, and increased. In the first few weeks, hypertrophic scars are likely to start forming. After that, hypertrophic scars may get better on their own, but it's not always the case. It could take a year or more.
Aesthetic Medical Equipment to Treat Scars
Treatment options for deeper scars vary depending on the context. Surgical removal, dermabrasion, and laser surgery are examples. Therefore, it is critical to find a trusted and licensed consultant before trying any scar treatment.
One of the popular ways to treat scars is through aesthetic medical equipment. It includes cosmetic lasers, radiofrequency energy, ultrasound technology, and more. For example, skin conditions, cellulite reduction, and pigmentation used cosmetic lasers in medical and beauty spas.
The prominent aesthetic medical equipment today is the Sofwave technology. In addition, Ablative carbon dioxide (CO2) lasers, which help eliminate scars, are the most frequent laser technology used for aesthetic treatments. The aesthetic medical equipment, CO2 lasers use tailored light beams to resurface the skin.
Here's how it works: You can get rid of dead skin cells and water molecules by passing electricity through a gas-filled tube. The tube produces a specific wavelength of short, focused beams of light. This method causes new collagen in the skin's deeper dermis layer, making the skin look and feel more firm and smooth in the long term.
Takeaway
The best way to help your recovery and healing is to follow all instructions. Your physician will tell you what you can and can't do. People can't get rid of all of their scars, and you must remember that many things will play a role in how well your scar heals. Some scars don't improve for more than a year after treatment.
Scar treatments are now more successful and safe than in the past, thanks to the development of high-tech aesthetic medical equipment by Sofwave technology. Ensure that you connect with the trusted and most reliable treatment and physician for your scar problems. They make someone look better by using non-invasive methods and cosmetic procedures that don't require surgery or hurt.

7 THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE OPENING YOUR OWN GYM
Following your passion for fitness by opening your gym is an exciting adventure but there are more factors to consider than you may have originally thought.
These factors include demand, what is needed, costs involved, advantages and disadvantages, the importance of a marketing plan, and preparation for failure.
The following considerations will help you to determine a plan going forward and help you get insight into what exactly needs to be thought about before starting this new venture.
Is There A Demand In Your Area?
Think of who you will be targeting.
Do they earn the right income?
Do they live a healthy lifestyle?
Or is the community that you’re targeting, part of the elderly community with a sedentary lifestyle?
If the people you target wouldn’t step foot in any area related to fitness, be it a martial arts studio or a fully functional gym, then you may be looking in the wrong area.
Determine the needs and wants of your target audience. This will help you to determine whether there will be a demand for the service you are offering.
Demographics and location can also play an important role in the success of your business.
There needs to be a demand for a gym in the area you are thinking of running your gym from. Doing a competitive intelligence analysis can help you to determine if there are any competing gyms in the area and if these competitors are successful or not.
A lot of ideas end up failing due to either an oversupply of products/services or a lack of demand. Doing research into different areas may be a good thing to consider before purchasing premises.
What Do You Need To Get To Start?
Premises
As previously mentioned, premises is one of the first things you need to think about organizing. An ideal location is one with a lot of traffic, with a demand for your business, and in a central location. Keep in mind the ideal location will come with a price.
Gym Management Software
Gym management software is essential in the successful running of your business. Managing things like payments and bookings can be very stressful and if you don’t have a proper system, you may end up losing money or creating bad relationships with clients due to a lack of organization.
Include gym management software in your business to help to create seamless communication and planning.
Licenses
There are certain licenses and legal documents that are required to set up a business such as a business license, certificate of Incorporation, and employment agreement for the hiring of new employees.
The best thing to do is to hire a lawyer to deal with all the legal documentation required.
Do You Have SMART Goals?
Starting any business without proper goals can be very risky and often lead to failure. Before you open a gym, you need to consider whether your goals are specific, measurable, realistic, and timely.
If your goal is too broad, for example, if you’re building a martial arts studio, and your goal is to become the biggest martial arts studio in the country, then this goal may lead to failure due to expectations that cannot be fulfilled.
A better goal to have would be, for example, to increase membership registrations by 10% within 3 months, by creating brand awareness through social media ads.
What Are The Costs Involved?
It’s almost impossible to give an exact number of what the costs will amount to when opening a gym because each gym is unique, however, calculating your costs is a crucial step to consider before opening a gym.
Costs generally include property and facility costs, buying equipment, operational costs, and more.
Facility costs will be the biggest of your costs which is why researching before purchasing premises is essential.
You may not be including a whole martial arts studio in your gym, but you may need a space for classes such as pilates and yoga.
Once you have determined what kind of gym you are going to be opening, you can decide on what equipment you will need. Equipment can be expensive, which is why you may need to think about exactly what type of equipment you will need and if you will be able to afford it.
Other costs involved such as insurance, salaries, and marketing, must also be considered as running a gym without these will most likely be unsuccessful.
What Are The Advantages And Disadvantages?
Weighing out the advantages and disadvantages against each other can be a helpful exercise to determine whether or not to go ahead with it.
Some of the advantages are that it is rewarding work, you get to do what you love, you can build a community, and get to have face-to-face interaction every day.
It’s needless to say that if you’re a fitness lover, going to the gym is not only a form of exercise but rather a form of therapy for many individuals.
Martial arts has become one of many techniques for dealing with depression and anxiety, but so has the gym. Opening a gym of your own may allow you to impact the lives of others by helping them with life struggles they may be facing.
Disadvantages may include low margins, high overhead expenses, financial struggling, stress, and time consumption.
Do You Have A Marketing Plan?
Marketing is the key to the success of a business. Your business won’t grow just through word-of-mouth alone and without a proper marketing strategy, you may run at a loss.
Developing a marketing strategy or hiring a marketing team may be expensive at first but it’ll be worth it in the long run.
Consider implementing forms of digital marketing into your strategy such as social media marketing.
Are You Prepared To Fail?
Risking everything to start a business may pay off in the long run, however, approximately 20% of new businesses fail within the first two years of opening. Realizing that this is a possibility, can be an advantage as you can prepare yourself as much as possible to avoid failure.
By investing in the correct software, marketing strategies, and research practices, you can avoid common mistakes and prepare yourself for what is to come when starting this new venture.

THE ART OF THE SNACK | VINEAPPLE CAFE
We're heading to Brooklyn where we found out about Vineapple Cafe, a coffee shop that was beloved by Aubrie Therrien and Zac Rubin who enjoyed the vibe. When it closed, they stepped in to become the new co-owners to ensure that the neighborhood still had a destination to enjoy. They imagined how Vineapple could be more than what it was known as so that the community could still come together.
ATHLEISURE MAG: Tell me about Vineapple Cafe prior to when you took ownership of it. What was it about the original that drew you to it and what made you want to revive it?
AUBRIE THERRIEN: Vineapple was a neighborhood coffee shop that we frequented daily and the neighborhood really loved. Before that, it also had many other iterations as a steak house, a Mexican restaurant, and a gay nightclub. When we moved to the neighborhood, we would always wonder what Vineapple would be like if it had a great bar and an enoteca-like food menu. We joked that we would at least eat there 2-3 times a week. So one day, when we saw that Vineapple had suddenly closed, we not only jumped at the chance to revive this little cafe that the neighborhood relied on, but also turn it into something we had always hoped it could be.
AM: As you’re co-owners of Vineapple Cafe, what is your background in the culinary space?
AT: I’ve worked as a server and bartender at a variety of restaurants throughout the City for about 10 years, helping some open and also at other well-established places. My family also owned a restaurant in Little Italy for 75 years called Giambones. Cooking and eating is a huge part of my family and heritage.
Zac is a lover of good food and wine and an entrepreneur in the city who opened a cafe in his soccer stores a few years ago and caught the restaurateur bug.
AM: What was it like launching the concept right before the pandemic and navigating the process of renovating and opening during this time?
AT: It was both exciting and scary at the same time. We took over the restaurant in February 2020 and then the world completely changed in March 2020, right before we were going to try to reopen. We took that time to really reflect on the place we were trying to create and also worked on recipes and making the place beautiful with the help of our friends and family. We opened in phases starting in June 2020, with a shower curtain covering areas that were still being renovated. The neighborhood was so kind and patient with us and with us every step of the way.
AM: The kitchen is helmed by Executive Chef Joel Mendia, can you tell us about his culinary background, where he trained and how he came to Vineapple Cafe?
AT: Joel is a really wonderful person to work with and he has been with us, in many different roles, since the very beginning. He has trained in several kitchens in the city under the helm of some really fabulous chefs, with a focus on Italian foods, most notably Café Lalo and Café Falai.
AM: How would you define the cuisine that people can enjoy here whether they are coming to dine?
AT: Vineapple is an Italian-Leaning restaurant, featuring both old world favorites and New American Cuisine with some personal twists from our Chef and our family.
AM: What is the ambiance of Vineapple Cafe as I know you have a patio, garden and indoor seating.
AT: Vineapple is a neighborhood café with a casual, cozy and inviting vibe. We have a great mix of local regulars and visitors joining us from all over the world.
Our staff works hard to make them feel immediately at home.
AM: What are 3 dishes you suggest for those that are coming for breakfast?
AT: Our most popular item is our Breakfast Burrito. It’s massive, stuffed to the brim with all your favorite fixings, and comes with a side of our amazing roasted potato wedges. Our Breakfast Sandwich isn’t your run-of-the-mill breakfast sandwich! Farm fresh eggs are prepared with our house-made tomato jam, asiago cheese, and arugula, for an incredible start to your morning with just the right pairing of sweet and savory. Our Avocado Toast goes above and beyond the expected, with an obscene amount of Avocado, everything spice, and housemade pickles, rounded out with Caputo’s Olive Bread, it is literally the best avocado toast I have ever had.
AM: What are dishes for lunch that you suggest for those stopping by?
AT: Our Warm Vegetable Farro Bowl is a hearty, delicious, nutritious meal, it’s especially wonderful if you add our roasted chicken or a poached egg. The Prosciutto and Mozzarella Panini with our House-Made Tomato Jam is an absolute show stopper, and one of our best selling lunch items. The Kale, Apple, & Goat Cheese Salad is the perfect afternoon bite. Great as a starter, but excellent as a mid-day meal.
AM: You have a new dinner menu that we want to explore. What are 3 appetizers that friends and family can enjoy to start their meal?
AT: Our house charcuterie board is not to be missed! We call it The Big Board because it’s simply sprawling! Mama’s Prosciutto Bread is a family recipe held near and dear to us, a delicious combination of homemade bread, aged prosciutto and basil with gooey mozzarella cheese. Our Burrata with Roasted Beet Puree is both beautiful to see, and delightful to eat. The perfect table starter.
AM: What are 3 entrees that you would like to tell us about that we should enjoy?
AT: The Hanger Steak is fantastic and always cooked to perfection. We change the dish seasonally to include the freshest local vegetables. The Brown Butter Chicken is the most perfect winter chicken dish of all time. The warm peppery crust is simply to die for. The Cacio y Pepe Mac and Cheese is also a really iconic dish, served in a cast iron skillet. It comes bubbly with a breadcrumb top and is just really satisfying.
AM: To end the meal, what are 3 desserts that we should have on our radar?
AT: Chef Joel makes the best House-Made Tiramisu of all time! I’ve never tasted anything like it. Our Apple Pie Bread Pudding is a delectable sweet bite. Perfect for sharing at the end of your meal. Our Affogato uses the freshest Devocion Espresso with incredible gelato from local purveyor, Dolce Brooklyn. I would suggest ending your meal with an after
dinner beverage too, like a hot Amaro Caldo or a signature Espresso Martini.
AM: We have heard that you have a great beverage program and that you brought on Jennifer Sandella as the Bar Director as well as the General Manager. Can you tell us about her background as well as 3 crafted cocktails that she has created that we should try?
AT: Jennifer is a Brooklyn Heights local and has a true love and passion for crafting amazing experiences for our guests. She’s been creating cocktails for over a decade and also has a background in the theatre. She suggests you try the Bird of Passage, a refreshingly floral combination of Gin and Amaro, the Brooklyn Heights for a strong dram on a chilly evening, or the Golden Harvest made with passionfruit and mezcal, which is delicious, easy to drink, and perfect for any day of the week.
AM: It seems like those who come to Vineapple Cafe has a number of options whether patrons are interested in a café vibe, a bar or a restaurant. Did that influence how you approached the décor in terms of its vibe?
AT: We wanted to make sure the folks who loved the coziness of the old Vineapple still had that same vibe at Vineapple 2.0 while also adding some hints of sophistication and that brooklyn-enoteca ambiance that would translate to dinner. In addition to beautifying some of our outdoor spaces, we just wanted to create an unpretentious space where everyone can feel welcome; and of course, filled with hidden pineapples everywhere.
AM: In addition to food, you have live music and trivia nights. Can you tell us about these offerings?
AT: Yes! We are doing a weekly Trivia night on Tuesday that is so fun and a nice thing to do in the neighborhood. We give out prizes to the winning team and offer some food and drink specials. It’s VERY popular so if you are interested, definitely make a reservation. Our live music on Sunday is also popular and just a lovely way to end a weekend - relaxing with a bottle of wine, some homemade lasagna and jazz twists on some contemporary songs. On live jazz night we also offer 50% off bottles of wine.
AM: You also have non-profit nights. Can you tell me more about this and why you wanted to do this? What organizations have you partnered with?
AT: Giving back to the community is really important to Zac and I. He is involved with several nonprofits and when I’m not at Vineapple, I’m also the executive director of two Brooklyn based community organizations. When we reinvented Vineapple, we wanted to ensure that the community was part of that equation. One way that we give back is to host nonprofit nights for our local partners. We call them our "Eat Out for Nonprofits" nights, and 20% of all dinner revenue is donated to the nonprofit of the evening. The nonprofit can also use that evening to host an event, invite folks interested in learning more about the program, put information out for guests or a QR code for donations or use the projector to showcase their program. Recently, we’ve partnered with Horizons Brooklyn, Launch Expeditionary School, and local middle school PS915. If a local nonprofit is interested in partnering with us for a Dine Out night, they just have to get in touch!
AM: As we get closer to the spring and summer, are there special events that you will have at Vineapple Cafe that we should keep an eye out for?
AT: Mother’s Day is just around the corner and we will be hosting a special brunch for all the Mama’s out there. Our menu is seasonal, so we will be bringing some spring and summertime special goodies back starting in April. And summertime Happy Hour in our garden is as close to an evening of magic as one can get in NYC. Keep an eye out for fireflies!

5 GREAT GIFT IDEAS FOR FOOTBALL FANS
When you know someone who is into football, buying a gift for them is both a blessing and a curse. Obviously, you have to get something football themed because they will love it, but how do you find something they don’t already have? Trawling through the internet to find the perfect gift can feel like a sport in itself at times which is why we have put together the following list.
Player-Specific Gifts
If you know your recipient’s favourite player, then you could try to find them something from that player. Look up the player, they might have released an autobiography that you could get, or you could get their number on a piece of merch like a strip, mug, poster, et cetera. If you want to get them something regarding a specific player, then anything that can help them to learn more about that player is a great choice.
Club Merch
If you aren’t sure who their favourite player is but you know their club, then that is a start. There are so many pieces of club-inspired merch out there to choose from. You could go for houseware like mugs, sports bottles, framed posters or pictures, or other trinkets. You could also opt for wearable items like the strip, a t-shirt, PJs, dressing gown or jacket. You can find the club logo on almost anything nowadays. This is where your knowledge of the recipient comes in; what would they get the most use out of?
Nostalgic Gifts
If you are struggling to find anything new to get them, then why not get them something old or older? There are so many cool gifts that you can find that feature vintage team designs. Classic football shirts make a great gift; you can choose one that you think that they will like or one from a significant period of their life. Classic Football Kit has a huge range of vintage shirts from teams around the world. You can also find other vintage pieces of team merchandise. It could be a really cool way to feed into their interests while getting them something they might not expect.
Tickets
This is possibly one of the more expensive gifts. But, if it is a special occasion, then it may be worth it. Think about getting them a ticket to a game so that they can see their heroes in action. It would truly be a gift to remember. If you have the means, you could even get them a season ticket.
Training Sessions
If the recipient is young enough, then enrolling them in football training sessions can be a great gift. Check within your local area to see what is available. There may be a skills school that they can attend to learn new skills and further their capabilities. Some of these schemes are even run by ex-professionals and coaches.
In The End
As long as you have tried your best to get them a good gift, they will appreciate it. That being said, you might want to include a gift receipt with their present to allow them to swap it if they want to. Come up with a budget and stick to it. If you are really struggling, even after considering the ideas above, then you can always ask for help from mutual friends.
