    Content Creator & Business Owner Ariel Tan

    Thank you so much for having me on SimplySxy and to be given this opportunity to share a little bit more about myself with all of you.

    Hi everyone, I’m Ariel! I am currently a university student pursuing a degree in Bachelor of Business Management in Singapore. I also have a part time job under the hospitality industry that I do tend to work during my free time. Besides, I also own a small e-commerce business selling fashion apparels at The Good and Bad Co. If you’re looking for fashionable apparels you’re definitely in for a treat, feel free to check out my shop at thegoodandbadco.com.

    I do create content on my Instagram as well on a daily basis and I would say I am contented and enjoy what I am doing now. At the moment, I would say I am excited for what the future has in store for me.

    How is your fashion style like and where do you love to shop from?

    I believe fashion style comes from within. It kind of depends on the mood and feeling for me. On some days, I lean towards the chic look and on other days I like to keep what I wear casual. But my go to colours would definitely be black or white. I mean it is sleek and versatile.

    I shop a lot online and I do it VERY VERY often, which is bad because I am running out of space to store them. Other than that I do shop at ZARA, Victoria Secret, SixtyEight, Pull & Bear and Forever 21 once in a while too.

    Do you have any hobbies or interests?

    I have always been interested in photography and creating content on my Instagram platform. I also enjoy binge-watching crime, horror, thriller, action and romance movies.

    Which is the best compliment you have received?

    Personally I feel that the best compliments should be about what’s on the inside, for instance, character, personality, work ethic and empathy towards others. I truly appreciate and believe the best compliment I have received would be when the people around me recognizes the effort I put into the things I commit my time to.

    What are 3 fun sights you recommend to tourists to take in when visiting your city?

    I would say 3 fun sights would be firstly, Botanic Gardens, it’s gorgeous and you’ll absolutely love it if you’re a nature lover.

    Secondly, if you’re looking for a place with good brunch or breakfasts? The cafes along Tanjong Pagar Road are to die for, the all-day breakfasts and coffees are generally insanely good.

    Lastly, a great place to visit for a couple of drinks with a breath-taking view would most definitely be at Mr. Stork, that’s located at Andaz Hotel Singapore. Absolutely love their drinks and snacks and not to mention the view, definitely worth the visit when you’re in Singapore.

    Which are your favorite quotes or mottos you like to use for inspiration?

    A really good friend of mine once told me that “everything happens for a reason and that god has plans for you”, I stand by that quote and believe in that every single time I go through a tough phase in my life. If it doesn’t work, it probably isn’t meant for you and that there are many other routes and choices you could still make.

    Don’t give up, even if the opportunity isn’t there at that moment and it fails you time after time. Just remember, there will always be a rainbow after every storm and everything happens for a reason.

    Would you rather have the power to control objects or animals?

    Personally, I would love to have the power to control objects. In specific, a robot or a machine. I mean how cool would it be, to be able to ask a machine to make a cup of matcha latte for you without having to do anything.

    What turns you off on a date?

    My biggest turn off would be playing games on their phone and talking all about themselves. Don’t get me wrong, sharing about your life is okay but making every topic about yourself and not wanting to know about the other party would be a really sad date.

    Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Ariel. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”? 

    Being sexy is about being confident with your body and skin. Embracing it without worrying about what others think.

  • Fitness Athlete & Web Designer Simin

    Fitness Athlete & Web Designer Simin

    Hello everyone, in addition to thanking SimplySxy for featuring me. My name is Simin being born into a Chinese-Indonesian family. I am a fitness athlete and a web designer from Singapore. A brand ambassador and athlete with My Protein. Fun fact about me: Most people assume I’m a personal trainer. I am a senior web designer full-time.

    Were Health and fitness always a part of your life growing up?

    At a young age, I didn’t focus on health and fitness. I love sports, but I’m not good at lifting weights. I eat whatever I like. I attribute much of my positive outlook on life to my love of fitness and cheerleading. It has been my pleasure to participate in several cheerleading and physique competitions. At the National Amateur Body-Builders’ Association local, I won the title of Miss Bikini Model champion. These competitions not only gave me life experience but also taught me to be tenacious and determined.

    I got into fitness in 2014 after participating in a competition called FitterU. I then hired a personal trainer to help me lose weight and learn how to lift weights. I’ve always thought that if women lifted weights, we would grow to be as big as men.

    In 2015, this was my first experience competing in a bikini show. I came in sixth at Singapore Fitness Model Search (SFMS) and Nutrigirl 2015, Finalist.

    I participated in my first bikini show in 2015. I placed sixth in the Singapore Fitness Model Search (SFMS) and was a finalist in Nutrigirl 2015. My performance in the FM League in 2016 won me third place. I won the short-class championship for another bikini association in 2017 called NABBA WFF.

    What is your exercise or workout regime like?

    I get up at 4 a.m. daily and work out 6 times a week before I head to work. My exercises are spread out during the week so that I can concentrate on different aspects of my training.

    I train in the mornings for strength, core exercises, HIIT in the evenings, or run around my house for 30 minutes, and I take one day off per week to repair damaged tissues and grow more muscle.

    How will you describe a typical day for yourself?

    A typical day for me includes hitting the gym in the morning followed by grocery shopping. On weekdays, I will head home to prep my meal for the day, get showered, tidy my room, take a short break before work starts. Weekends are for influencer content and rest, more self-care time in the afternoon.

    If you could collaborate with anyone past or present, who will it be?

    I would like to collaborate with Demi Bagby from San Diego. She is a bodybuilder and a CrossFit athlete.

    She inspires me because of the life-altering accident that happened to her. Her fitness and talents are remarkable, and I’d like to learn from her, for example, such as muscle up. I’m inspired to follow in her footsteps.

    She has a positive mental attitude that has helped her to keep moving forward in her fitness profession, achieving new heights every time.

    My struggles are similar to hers. Injury is a struggle for me, and I understand it well. Having fractured my right-hand metacarpal bone and continuing to do what I do now is one of the biggest blessings and challenges I’ve ever experience.

    Is there something you’ve always wanted to do but have yet to find the time for it?

    I enjoy spending time with friends while hiking or having a picnic. It is something I’ve always wanted to do.

    In Singapore, pandemics and heightened warnings are increasingly commonplace. It’s precious to spend time relaxing with excellent friends.

    Have you been in an embarrassing situation before that is funny now when looking back?

    I remember an embarrassing incident during my freshman year of high school when our uniforms were all white. It’s a mixed school. I wasn’t expecting my period to arrive; the crimson stain came on my skirt without my knowledge.

    Yet, I walked around the school with the red mark. I was wondering why the students around me were staring at me and laughing but didn’t inform me.

    What turns you off on a date?

    Being tied to their phone and not talking to their partner. Men who attempt to be too handsy or turn every conversation into a sexual one. It’s not just disgusting but also embarrassing. Trying to be overly sexual too soon is a total turn-off.

    Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Simin. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”? 

    Being yourself, in a way that fits your personality. While not pursuing expensive, materialistic items too much. In my opinion, being sexy means being confident, powerful, and in control.

  • Influencer Jillkiah Nicole Compra

    Influencer Jillkiah Nicole Compra

    How will you describe your fashion style and where do you draw inspiration from?

    My fashion style looks casual since I love expressing my true sense of personal style in the public. Thus, it makes me feel more calm and relax. I get this inspiration from Pinterest. When I look at Madison’s outfit, it attracts me a lot to style the same with her.

    Yes, I do have hobbies. When I feel bored, I watch movies. Sometimes, I do some creative stuffs and play with my dog.

    This question sounds interesting. The 3 fun things I love to do here in our city; stroll anywhere, long walks with my friends, and visit stores.

    Are you more of a morning person or night owl?

    I am more on a morning person rather than a night owl. Since I have most energy early in the morning.

    If you could be a cartoon character for real, who will you be?

    That’s a great question. Well, I definitely want to be like Megara. She is known as Meg. Meg is a free-spirited, independent, and quick-witted woman.

    What turns you off on a date?

    I think it’s the cheesy pick up line.

    Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Jillkiah. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”? 

    For me, sexy isn’t about the size you are. It’s about how you wear your size.

  • Houston Lifestyle & Travel Blogger Diana Bhatt

    Houston Lifestyle & Travel Blogger Diana Bhatt

    I am from Houston, TX. Being from the South Asian household, my first exposure to beauty was my mom’s kajal that I would put in my waterline. That was the only makeup I would wear in my adolescent. Growing up, I was a tomboy. I was not into fashion or makeup or even keeping up with the current trends. I was more focused in school and extracurricular activities such as Student Council, Poetry club, Art club and Debate club. After graduating from college and stepping into the corporate field, I became more interested in fashion/makeup as I was earning income to afford it.

    Aside from blogging and sharing my favorite finds on Instagram, I do work full time as an HR consultant. Helping people grow and prosper in their career has always been a passion of mines.

    Do you have any hobbies or interests?

    I love traveling. My bio in my Instagram states “wanderlust”. My biggest advice I would give 20-year old’s is travel if you can. Clubbing/Partying is fun for a while, however, traveling creates memories. This world has a lot to offer. I have been to Miami, Saudi Arabia, New York, India, Las Vegas and Grand Canyon. I do have a bucket list of places I still would like to visit, however, due to covid it halted. I cannot wait to travel again and make more memories.

    I also love running. It helps me clear my mind and helps with stress. I tend to overthink about things and I feel at peace after running few miles.

    What inspires your fashion style?

    My fashion style is inspired by classy and chic looks. I admire former first lady Jacqueline O. Kennedy and Coco Chanel. I like outfits that can be versatile. I like to wear clothes that can be worn different ways and does not take long time to style. I love brands that offer variety of sizes because size “zero” does not fit all.

    Before Covid, I would go into the office early morning and come up with outfits to wear for the week during on Sunday evening. My style I would can be worn by the busy mom, or the woman on the go.

    Which is the best compliment you have received?

    Beauty with brains. It meant a lot to me that I was noticed beyond my looks.

    How will you describe a typical day like for yourself?

    As I am working full time, I am currently balancing my life as a blogger/consultant. I currently work a hybrid model at work and the days I do go in the office, I do work 10 – 12 hours. Even working from home, I am committed to working long hours. However, during the weekend I like to plan my content. I am selective with the brands I work with as I do not have the bandwidth. Currently I create monthly content for Express and just started working with White House Black Market. My beautiful Mom takes my photos and loving I call her my “Momager”.

    Is there something you’ve always wanted to do but have yet to find the time for it?

    I always wanted to fly off an airplane and go camping. I want to do something adventurous and exciting. I also want to drive an ATV through a desert. There are plenty of adventurous things I would love to do if I had the time.

    Have you been in an embarrassing situation before that is funny now when looking back?

    As we started working from home, we are relying on apps like Microsoft Teams to stay connected with our team members. I had two meetings at the same time n MS Teams. I was not required to attend one meeting, however, I was required to attend the other one. Anyways, I connect to the meeting I am not required to attend and started speaking about something different. Within a minute, I realized I was in the wrong meeting and excused myself to leave. It was so embarrassing! Thank god the management was forgiving! Anyways, this taught me to take a better look at the title.

    What turns you off on a date?

    It has to been when he is on the phone. Nothing irritates me more than when he is on his phone and I am trying to convey something to him. It is not only disrespectful when he is on the phone and providing his full attention to you, but also it is as if he is not interested in you.

    Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Diana. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”? 

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Everyone is beautiful in his/her own way. Beauty will fade, however, what is on the inside stays for a life time. I personally believe being sexy is having a beautiful heart.

  • Tattoo Artist & Model Emie

    Tattoo Artist & Model Emie

    I’m 23 years old and a culinary graduate. I just moved to Manila for the second time three months ago but I was born and raised in the province, was a culinary graduate and now I’m a full time artist. I do handpoke tattoos and nude modelling.

    How long have you been a model and what genres of modeling are you into?

    I started doing nude modelling when I was 18, so that was December of 2016 to be exact. Genre? Hmm nude, bondage or boudoir. Some people call me the exhibitionist type, and I also model for local streetwear brands.

    What inspired you to be a tattoo artist?

    Ever since I was a kid, I’ve always been fascinated with tattoos but I never thought that I’ll be a tattoo artist myself until last year when the whole world was in total lockdown, out of the blue I just started drawing again and doing handpoke tattoos on myself hahaha.

    Can you share a story behind one of your tattoos?

    This is the story behind my first tattoo “Faith (the one on my left chest)”. I’m just your typical teenager who wants to get a tattoo but doesn’t want to get into trouble after, so I decided to get the word “Faith” tattooed on my chest so my mom won’t scold me because it sounds so Christian. She still got mad at me since a tattoo was still a tattoo hahahaha.

    How do you like to spend your free time?

    I love to cook and bake, that’s why I took up culinary. I guess a first love never dies.

    If you could time travel, what will you like to experience or witness?

    The late 1800s fashion, I think it’s pretty cool to wear gowns everyday.

    Would you rather have the ability to control objects or teleport?

    Teleport of course, I’ll get to travel for free.

    What do you not get about guys?

    How can they not be dramatic LOL.

    Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Emie. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”? 

    Sexy is being confident and free with your body and how you carry yourself in front of others.

  • 5 Cute yet ‘At Home’ Date Night Ideas That You Can Plan Amidst A Pandemic

    5 Cute yet ‘At Home’ Date Night Ideas That You Can Plan Amidst A Pandemic

    Relationships are built on trust, love, and compassion. However, with the pandemic hitting hard, people in relationships have either been away from their partner or have been together 24×7 in the same house with their partner. Whatever the situation be, you can’t expect to bet on https://22bet.co.ke/bonus/rules/ and pass your free time. As a couple, there are several safer ways you can arrange a date for you and your partner at home.

    Here are a few ideas that we wanted to share with you.

    • Plan a hobby night

    When you are with your partner in the same house for too long, things can get monotonous pretty easily. The best way to overcome boredom is by doing things that you love. And, what best way than to turn it into a date night? It is simple, effective, and keeps you both engaged in doing things that bring you joy and happiness. For hobby nights, you can kip out in the living room, arrange your favorite hobby item and order some junk food once a week to enjoy the night and savor the warmth.

    • Plan a special restaurant date

    With lockdowns and quarantine restrictions, several countries have no dining options around. If you were one of those couples who went on monthly or weekly date nights, make that possible at your home. Instead of leaving things idle and enjoying a boring dinner every day, you can go out of your way, dress up, cook each other’s favorite meal and then arrange a fancy restaurant dinner date night at home. Its fun, it’s innovative, and it’s an amazing way to bond with your partner.

    • Try a new hobby together

    So, you have tried every type of online game and other couple activities that you could think of. So, what now? Well, this is where you try new things out. If there is something crazy yet doable that you have never tried before, rope in your partner and try doing that on a chill Saturday evening. If you want to play online casinos, give it a shot. Sometimes, life is too short to not do something.

    • Have a lazy date with junk food

    With the hectic life that we lead, the majority of us have switched to eating healthier and clean. However, sometimes, it’s okay for you to let go of things and just go about crazy. And, this is where you do that. Take your partner and have a chill night eating nothing but junk food. Have drinks with it for fun too.

    • Plan a business together

    You’d be surprised to know but many couples have come out with their own small business during the pandemic. And, while idealizing this might not seem like a practical date idea, it can be a fun and creative one that keeps you both engaged.

    Sometimes, with relationships, all you need to do is be there for each other and plan small gestures. It isn’t always about big breakthroughs but the small moments that add up to a bigger and happier one in the end.

  • Influencer Jaycy Chua

    Influencer Jaycy Chua

    Hello, my name is Jaycy, and I’m often mistaken for a man. I am a full-time working single mother. Influencer marketing is merely a side hustle for me.

    How will you describe your fashion style and where do you shop from?

    I simply wear whatever makes me feel comfortable on a given day or event, regardless of whether it is branded or not, as long as it perfectly fits me and looks nice on me.

    Which 3 fashion accessories are most important to you?

    A ring, earrings and a watch.

    Do you follow a strict beauty and or exercise regime?

    Yes, when it comes to health and fitness, I am very disciplined. I make it a point to workout for an hour at least twice a week. In terms of my eating habits, I eat anything I want, but I absolutely adhere to the “no meal after 6” rule.

    On a scale of 1-10, how much of a risk taker are you?

    Depends, but mostly I’m on a range of 7.

    Is there something in this world you can’t get enough of?

    I always aim to be better at everything and I don’t stop striving to improve myself.

    If you could meet with anyone past or present, who will it be?

    The future man of my life, if there is one. LOL.

    What turns you off on a date?

    Lack of sense of humor and being such an ungentleman.

    Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Jaycy. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”? 

    Sexy for me is being able to stand out even when you’re just wearing a plain tee. It’s all about how you carry yourself wearing the right attitude.

  • Cosplayer & Artist Momo Kariño

    Cosplayer & Artist Momo Kariño

    I started cosplaying in 2007, but didn’t really start making my own stuff until 2011. I love cosplay because it is a great way to meet fans of my favorite series, and make friends. Additionally, I’ve always been an artistic person, so the crafting and art that goes into making cosplays and making scenic character photos is an enjoyable pastime for me.

    Which character have you enjoyed cosplaying most so far?

    This is always a tough one to answer, since I’ve done so many characters, and love them all for different reasons. But some of my top faves are Sailor Jupiter, Space Faerie, Tess, and Yoko.

    Do you follow a beauty regime to look so beautiful?

    Not particularly, I actually used to struggle with acne a lot, even well into adulthood. Switching to some Korean brand of skin care products versus the U.S. drug store brands I was using seems to have helped. I’m also quite fond of hydrating masks!

    What is your favorite food or drink?

    French fries probably are my favorite food, though not an entirely nutritious meal, haha. But on the flip side, I love me a good, healthy smoothie.

    If you could have a super power, what will it be?

    I always thought it would be cool to have “ghost powers” like Danny Phantom does. But idk, that’s a lot of power and responsibility haha. So maybe just the power to find all lost things, that would be sort of neat. I’m always losing things, so I think often about where they must have ended up. It’s like they disappear into thin air!

    Are you more of a lingerie or bikini babe?

    I love summer, swimming, and the beach, so it’s bikinis for me! Plus they’re generally more comfortable. Well, sometimes. XD

    What turns you off on a date?

    Whenever anyone seems to dismiss my hobbies and passions, or think they’re weird, it probably won’t work out. I like to say conventions and cosplay are “my full time hobby”, so if they want a “sexy cosplay GF” but  think cosplay is something that only happens at comic con, they’re in for a big awakening…

     *points to dozens of bins of fabric*

    Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Momo. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”? 

    I think sexy simply lies in confidence. Not just in one’s looks, but in everything else too. Of course, it is crucial to balance that confidence with humility, but ultimately, I think a lot of my admiration comes from seeing people just comfortably be themselves.

  • Poet Vanessa Emma Gelagobian

    Poet Vanessa Emma Gelagobian

    Writing has truly always been a huge part of my life; growing up, it was very hard for me to make friends, instead everywhere I went, my notebook and pencil came too.

    I grew up in a household full of love but time was always all over the place which I understood.

    I always tried my best to stay thankful.

    My immigrant parents were always at work to give me and my family a safe/better life without struggle while my grandmother would take care of me, who hardly spoke any English but a day didn’t pass without her telling me stories of my grandfather I never met.

    My siblings are 12 years older than me, as being their baby sister, I always had to tiptoe around because certain things I wanted to express, I knew my older brothers wouldn’t understand and I couldn’t blame them. I mean, how can I? I am so thankful for my parents and everything they’ve done just to come to a country that gives them no days off!

    Writing has became my backbone, something I can lean on unlike a broken back; It follows me every single place where I go and I know it would never leave me!

    These hands never stop writing; It’s the only way my soul can create.

    What inspired you to be a poet and are there any poets whose works inspire you?

    When I was in high school, one of my teachers always told me I had a special gift! She would always see me writing in my notebook and one day, she asked me to read her my writing and I did! I was very nervous because it was my very first time reading my writing to anyone! I felt very good because I let go of a fear I had! The fear of judgement!

    That same day I knew I had to share my writing to the world! As I went home and did my research for writers, that’s when I found out about poetry!!

    Francis and the lights inspires me. His creativity speaks for itself.

    Shakespeare’s work is the most beautiful work. I am truly so inspired.

    Also,

    Kanye West, his creativity is everything.

    Do you have any favourite quotes or mottos you like to use?

    One of my go-to quotes I wrote and love to use:

    Never steel from the hand that once fed you.

    Is there anything you like to learn or do but haven’t had the time for it yet

    I would love to learn: New languages

    and

    Do: Travel the world and try every bread from each country.

    What is the best compliment you have received so far?

    I find it best when I compliment others for having such a beautiful soul! It truly makes me feel like I got complimented by doing that!

    As were all; We should always uplift each other and never bring anyone down because we never know what someone is truly going through.

    Which flavour best describes you?

    Rose.

    What is an ideal first date to you?

    Having a picnic in nature.
