» Creativity is, by its very nature, practically impossible to measure. However, while rankings, even very methodically prepared ones, cannot hope to portray the whole truth about the state of the creative scene in this country, what they can do is give us an idea of how the rest of the world views us.

» The journey leading up to the birth of the Bangkok branch of ChikaLicious, a dessert bar recently opened at Central Embassy, sounds somewhat like a scene from Sex And The City — four friends, high-ranking corporate workers living a coveted life in the Big Apple, find solace in meeting at various eateries and catching up over delicious meals.

» You would have to live a completely offline life to not have heard about the new exercise craze Focus T25. It is not entirely new, actually, but it was only recently that time-starved urbanites turned their attention to this high-intensity workout DVD series that promises to give them a better body by exercising 25 minutes a day, five days a week, as opposed to the general recommendation of spending 30-60 minutes in a sweat session.

» The last thing you would expect from a daredevil who walks, sometimes unsupported, sometimes naked, on a rope at great heights, is to see him break down and cry at the mere mention of a deceased friend, but unpretentiousness is one of the endearing qualities of Californian Andy Lewis, aka Mr Slackline.

» A few years back, just as the BB cream craze reached its peak, it was predicted that CC cream would be the next big thing. At the time, it was quite unfathomable what product could possibly dethrone the make-up heroine. BB cream is a primer, moisturiser, foundation, concealer and facial sunscreen, all conveniently rolled into one. What more could a woman want?

» Last month, news emerged that Thai women are the second fattest in Southeast Asia, and that over the past two decades, a third of Thai adults are overweight, according to figures from Mahidol University's Institute for Population and Social Research. The two main reasons for alarmingly increased weight are said to be inactive lifestyles and an unsupportive environment which makes exercise inconvenient.
A love of spontaneity

» Not having seen Rachwin Wongviriya since the day of her school play back in 2002, when she was a starry-eyed freshman at Chulalongkorn University's Faculty of Communication Arts taking part in a stage performance of Dreamcatcher, it was refreshing to observe, on meeting her again recently, that stardom does not seem to have gone to her head; that this sweet-natured girl remains as down to earth as she was before opportunity came knocking.
Fight the frizz

» Along with that annoying damp smell on clothes, another bad thing about the rain is the unmanageable, sticking-out-everywhere hair that drives us crazy. Humidity and hair aren’t best buddies. It makes our hair become untameable and bushy — not really an attractive look.
Smooth it out
Muse, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 21/06/2014
» There are few things more annoying than uneven, exceptionally porous facial skin. It makes applying a smooth layer of foundation an impossible task to achieve. It makes you feel self-conscious when posing for photos. You constantly worry whether your conversation partner is looking at you or at the size of your pores. The list goes on and on.
