Recently, The Finder was invited to the launch of Enslaved: An MTV Exit special – a cutting edge, innovative educational campaign to raise awareness and increase prevention of human trafficking and exploitation. It got us thinking about causes. For certain it’s good to take a stand when it comes to having an opinion, a passion or a cause to support. What do you believe? What really gets you inspired to take action? It may be personal or universal, but whatever the focus it’s good to believe in something. We hope Singapore Secrets contributes to a little awareness-awakening in its own way. 

Indeed, we invite you to make a difference, no matter how big or small. It may or may not be so serious every time. It could be simply straightening mayhem around the home or focusing on yourself to invigorate your look, a sure way to achieving a sense of pride and wellness! Share the joy, that’s our mantra. Don’t you agree, when you have people around you who exude happiness you feel happy too? You feel nothing is a challenge and you seem to get the job done, effortlessly. Laughter is infectious and it’s free so spread it in abundance. Just like the stars of The Kings and Queen of Comedy Asia 2 who’ll get you giggling in Five Minutes With…This is the second incarnation of what is set to be a seriously belly laughing event so see you in the front row – I’ll be the guy rolling around on the floor in hysterics!

For those who like a little tipple, whether it be over a quiet dinner for two or a gathering with friends, Wolf Blass has a year’s supply of Australian wines to give away. Visit Win Prizes for all the entry details. Plus, apart from our regular features you have come to know and expect from The Finder, we welcome Sarafina Pavia from Lemongrass House who shares her love for all things lemongrass, chat with Chris Churcher from Red Sea Gallery about Beagles In Boots and go horse trekking in Mongolia with Mano Griffiths from Barefoot Traveller.
