2021 has been quite the year, but there’s no reason it can’t end on a good note. If anything, we’ll look back on this year as the one that taught us the value of self-care and staying adaptable in the face of adversity. Here are some little ways you can plan ahead for 2022!

Put your best face forward

While we’re all hoping for a further easing of restrictions, we’ve got an idea to manifest this into reality. Prep your face for more people to see it and start off the new year feeling fresh by making sure your skin’s in tip-top condition with Skin Pple’s experiential facial treatment. The facial uses the latest in light, ultrasound and radiofrequency technology to treat acne, dullness and signs of aging, but there’s more. Each treatment also features visual and auditory stimuli to activate your body’s senses, so it won’t just be your skin that’s in for a treat. Try it for yourself and enjoy 15% off your first facial when you make a booking with the code COCO15.

Living in the age of technology sure has its perks. Puricare’s convenient water solutions for the home and office allow you to have purified water at all times. They have a wide range of minimalist and modern water dispensers that makes staying hydrated a breeze. Looking to curl up with a warm drink on a rainy evening or cool down with a cold one on a hot afternoon? Their Puretron Under Counter system means you can hot, cold or room temperature water at all times. There’s even a power saving mode, and a re-boil option (that doubles as a child lock!) all in one sleek set-up that’s sure to elevate any kitchen or pantry. 

Give your home set-up a power boost

Aftershock PC is a brand that won’t be unfamiliar to most gamers, but their high-performance PCs and laptops aren’t just for gaming. Now that we’re all getting used to flexible WFH arrangements, perhaps it might be time to upgrade the ol’ set-up. Laptops nowadays are comparable to that of desktop set-ups, and the all-new Vapor 15 Pro is living proof. Made in collaboration with Intel, the laptop delivers crisp graphics in a sleek matte black body. Those looking for something smaller can opt for the Forge 15S. It’s not hard to see why it’s their best-selling lightweight laptop — the high-performance laptop boasts a slim and minimalist design that doesn’t reveal its sheer power at first glance.

Everyone and their dog seems to be into crypto nowadays, and if you haven’t jumped on it perhaps it’s something to tick off that list of new year’s resolutions. Singapore-based platform Hodlnaut allows users to earn up to 12.73% APY from six supported assets, namely Bitcoin, Dai, Ethereum, Tether, U.S. Stable Coin, and Wrapped Bitcoin. The app is available on iOS and Android and has many passive ways to earn crypto besides waiting for prices to appreciate. They’ve also reduced their withdrawal fees for some of the coins and are now allowing users one free withdrawal a month so you can maximize those returns. Head over to their website to sign up for a free account or to learn more.

The app allows you to build your investment portfolio through bite-sized premium contributions from just S$1. The investment happens in the background whenever you make a transaction like buying food, taking the bus, watching a movie, buying groceries or even pumping petrol. You can also withdraw your funds at any time with no penalty.

Make the most of the rest of your 2021, new SNACK users get complimentary S$30 Investment credits for starting SNACK Investment and 1-for-1 for every dollar invested from now till Dec. 26.
