Q&A with Beauty Influencer, Winter Chee

Recently, we had the opportunity to sit down and have a chat with beauty influencer and blogger Winter Chee (@WinterChee) after her rejuvenating Match-a Made in Heaven Christmas spa session with us! Here is the full-length video of our Q&A with her, where we learn more about her and her first-time experience at Ikeda Spa.

Q: Introduce yourself.

A: Hi, my name is Winter. I am a beauty blogger. I write on Winterchee, and I like to talk about beauty, skincare, and lifestyle as a whole because I believe having a holistic lifestyle is very important, so it’s good to take care of your inner self and outer beauty.

Q: What are your health and beauty routines?

A: For my health and beauty routine, health-wise, I take a lot of supplements because I’m not eating enough. I’m always swamped, so I use supplements to replenish my body with nutrients.

For my beauty routine, I spend a lot of time with my skincare because I used to have very bad skin. It’s because of my lifestyle and hectic travel schedule that skincare is essential to me. For my other beauty routines, as always, it’s all on my Instagram, it’s where I put my makeup on my face.

One of the reasons why many follow Winter Chee’s Instagram – beautiful makeup looks!

Q: What would your ideal relaxation be like?

A: My ideal relaxation would be in a secluded island resort where there’s nobody to disturb me, and I’ll spend my entire day in a spa. I need a relaxing massage with my loved ones.

Q: What was your first impression or thought of Ikeda Spa before today?

A: I never knew about Ikeda Spa until I was introduced to it by my friend, and I was shocked because when I saw it, I felt like I was transported into Japan, like the interior of the whole spa – it’s authentic, and I enjoyed trying out Ikeda Spa as well.

Q: How was your experience at Ikeda Spa today?

A: The massage is so good, it’s so relaxing! I feel like all my sore and tender muscles are relaxed now. I highly recommend booking an experience here because it’s definitely like an escape from the busy city life in Singapore.

Q: Why were you interested in visiting Ikeda Spa?

A: I was interested to visit Ikeda Spa because my friend highly recommended it to me for the massage and onsen, and I’ve never heard of an onsen in Singapore. I mean, I’ve heard of some onsen baths, but I never thought that it’s possible (in Singapore). Visiting Ikeda Spa is like a dream come true.

Q: What is the best part of Ikeda Spa?

A: I feel like I’ve been transported to Japan. Visiting Ikeda Spa has helped ease all my worries. I feel like in this short period of a couple of hours, I can just relax my entire body and mind and rest here instead of the busy and hectic schedule that I’ll have to go back to later on.

Q: Describe Ikeda Spa in 3 words.

A: Beautiful, authentic and (ultimately) relaxing.

Q: If you could introduce Ikeda Spa to anyone, who would it be?

A: I would love to introduce this to my mom. My mom is the first person who introduced massages to me, and I think she would really enjoy this entire experience because it takes care of you literally from head to toe.

Q: What’s 1 treatment you wish to try on your next Ikeda Spa visit?

A: I would love to try out the Gabanyoku Detox Massage. However, it’s not in this outlet (Clarke Quay). It’s in the Bukit Timah outlet. I’m very intrigued because it has a hot stone bed. I love hot stone massages, and I think lying on a hot stone bed is more relaxing and detoxifying. I think it’ll be an entirely new experience for me.
