Great Hostess Gift

by PatriCa BB 雪冰

“One great hostess gift that will never go wrong, at any point of time. Good food?”

We don’t usually show up in an invitation or event empty handed, but finding the right gift for your gracious host can be quite a task, especially if you are not really know him/her well enough. There are plenty of good options out there, and there is something that will never go wrong, flowers. Yes, even if the invitation comes from a male (a nice pot would be good!).

For the same good reason, I brought a beautiful bouquet of flowers, carefully picked and customized according to my descriptions and purpose brought across to Flora Garage Singapore. I knew I wouldn’t need to worry and spend too much time in choosing the bouquets from the vast catalogue in their website. The florist will advise and help to arrange a special posy most suitable for my occasion. More

by PatriCa BB 雪冰

“You do not need to be a professional photographer to take studio-grade photos now. Let me tell you why……”

Good lighting is one of the essential elements for great close-up photography of food and dishes as well as any other detailed objects. Having a simple yet professional and good quality portable lightbox is my solution. I would choose the WhiteBox™. Yes, I’ve tried a few versions, and literally disappointed by either the quality or the trouble of setting it up, until I’ve gotten a perfect one from Whitebox™.

I have since used it in my food photography, for my blog postings and assignments. This lightbox helps me to obtain my desired photo effect. The photo quality has successfully impressed even the professional camera crew which I’ve worked with in the most recent cooking variety program, HeyChef2, on a Channel 8. This perfect tool is well-liked by the cameramen. Yes, they do. More
