Stay in the Know: A Quick Spin Through Today’s Headlines
We’ve peeled back the curtain on the latest news and re‑bundled it with a dash of charm, humor, and a sprinkle of everyday speak. Dive in!
1. Free Masks for the New Year—Starting Jan 10!
- A fresh spate of masks is heading into vending machines across Singapore, ready for you to scoop up at no cost.
- These machines, which were previously stocked last winter, will be restocked soon, ensuring residents can snag a mask before the holiday season kicks in.
- Tip of the day: Check your nearest vending location early—some places fill up as early as 9 pm on 9 January.
2. NEA Gives the Lowdown on UV‑C Disinfection Devices
- The National Environment Agency (NEA) is counseling against purchasing or using UV‑C disinfection gadgets for home cleaning.
- While UV‑C can kill germs, it’s not a silver bullet—when used improperly, it can actually pose health risks.
- Stick to tried‑and‑true methods: standard disinfectant wipes, soap and water, or a spray that’s proven safe.
Remember: Whether you’re grabbing a free mask or tackling your home’s cleanliness, keep it smart, keep it safe, and keep it simple. Happy 2024!
Health Alert: UVC Sterilizers With No Safety Features
The agency has issued a clear warning: don’t buy a UVC sterilizer that lacks safety safeguards. These devices, while handy for tackling germs, can be hazardous if they’re exposed to skin or eyes unprotected. That could lead to accidental burns or irritation, and obviously we don’t want anyone ending up with a sunburnish face from a lamp.
- Why it matters: UVC light is powerful enough to damage DNA; a slip on the wrong product can leave you with more than a clean house.
- Official advice: Look for built-in features like motion sensors, automatic shut‑off timers, or safety interlocks.
- Stay safe: Check the product label for warnings and use the device exactly as directed.
Remember, when it comes to sterilizing, it’s better to over‑protect than risk a little too much radiation. Read the instructions and keep the light out of direct eye contact. Stay smart, stay safe!

Jaslyn Chan: A 30‑Year‑Old Powerhouse in Singapore’s Lifestyle Market
When most of us are still figuring out our mid‑career dreams, Jaslyn Chan has already built an empire. At just 30, she’s the driving force behind Iuiga, Singapore’s hottest lifestyle brand that’s redefining how we shop for home décor, fashion accessories and even diamond rings.
How It All Began
Jaslyn’s journey started in her parents’ tiny workshop, where she learned the art of mixing colors and textures. From humble beginnings to a full‑scale boutique, she made sure every product reflected her eye for style and her love for the local market.
The Brand’s Signature: A Fusion of Modern and Timeless
- Home Décor: From sleek minimalist lamps to handcrafted rug designs, Iuiga offers pieces that make walls talk.
- Fashion Accessories: Trendy scarves, bracelets, and bags that look good on your wrist and your next Instagram post.
- Jewellery: Diamond rings and silver hoops that sparkle at weddings or that casual coffee run.
What Makes Iuiga Stand Out
- Local Focus: 100% Singapore-made – from concept to packaging.
- Eco‑Friendly: Sustainable materials and minimal waste.
- Social Impact: Keeps a portion of each sale to help youth start their own small business.
Business as Casual
Behind the scenes, Jaslyn runs a boutique that could have been snatched from a magazine cover. She speaks to customers with a blend of confidence and approachability, making every shopper feel like a friend who’s already discovered the next big thing.
Looking Ahead
Jaslyn’s next moves? Simply keep surprising her audience with limited‑edition line‑ups and collaborations with local designers. She’s got a feel for when trends will fall off and, just like those families who buy a new sofa every few years, she knows people will keep coming back.
With her sharp eye for design and a heart for community, Jaslyn Chan is not just selling products – she’s shaping Singapore’s lifestyle scene, one stylish package at a time.
