Our Managing Editor Beate spent her childhood in East Africa before moving to the UK, and arrived in Singapore in 2009 purely in search of sunshine #truestory. As mama to a two, life is a constant balance between work, small person entertainment and kitchen experiments (less sugar, more coconut).

Our Editor, Syaz is a millennial mama-of-one with a background in fashion design, digital marketing and professional makeup artistry. Although she’s lived in Singapore all her life, don’t ask her about any happenings outside of Woodlands… She’s hopeless with any East-sider info! When she’s not furiously typing up a storm, you’ll find her scrolling a little too much on her phone, enjoying a cup of teh siew dai or getting her #instagramhusband to snap the perfect OOTD.

Together with her husband she loves hosting dinner parties to reconnect with old and new friends over home cooked food. She is crazy about tropical palm trees, fresh coconuts, salty oceans, Pilates and has an obsession with spicy veggie dumplings, unpasteurised cheese, wine pairing and Swiss chocolate!

Just before #adulting, our Content Manager Yvonne took a gap year in Seoul. She then came back to the start of her public relations and project management stint overlooking all things creative. Nine years in, she’s now a new mama to her little boy who’s especially thrilled listening to her latest baby jams. When she’s not busy checking things off her multiple lists (projects, baby things, shopping..), she loves putting her records on, making sure her terrarium is alive and getting cosy with a cup of hot chocolate and rom-com novels.

Having lived in eight countries since she was two, Cherilyn considers herself a citizen of the world. She’s a Singaporean but has only lived here for 3 years of her childhood. She writes during the day and likes to unwind in the evening with a good workout, Netflix, and some quality time with her husband, all the while trying to keep up with her two active little ones. She’s never lived in a city for more than four years but is hoping that she can call Singapore home for a while.
