- [The Wedding Gown](https://cheryltay.sg/the-wedding-gown/) - Felt the most beautiful on my wedding day - thanks to my glam squad!

- [The Wedding - Letter Reading](https://cheryltay.sg/the-wedding-letter-reading/) - Upon the suggestion of our dear friend RRILEY, we handwrote letters to each other and read them out to each other before the wedding.

Like,

Especially with our
- [Tips for Royal Caribbean's cruise to nowhere](https://cheryltay.sg/tips-for-royal-caribbeans-cruise-to-nowhere/) - Going on a cruise now is probably the closest thing you can get to a holiday, complete with passport scanning, packing a luggage and walking an aerogate. Technically you're still in the vicinity of Singapore, but you still get a little bit of the "overseas travel" feels when you wake up to the open seas,

For me, I prefer to run with shoes that are cushioned, especially after I suffered plantar fasciitis
- [Love is love.](https://cheryltay.sg/love-is-love/) - "I didn't know you were lesbian." - This is a statement I got quite often when people first learnt about G and I.

It was Team Pink (me, Jade, Cenna) versus Team Blue (Jia Min, Constance, Barbara) with

Both podcasts are similar, telling about my struggles with my body and eating
- [Be Human, Be Authentic, Be YOU](https://cheryltay.sg/be-human-be-authentic-be-you/) - This afternoon, I was part of a very meaningful panel for 'Be Human, Be Authentic, Be YOU', organised by Nomura.

These CrossFit girls don't care](https://cheryltay.sg/crossfit-girls-singapore-2015/) - The plan was to do a group feature for my weekly Yahoo #Fitspo column, but after speaking to them, I realised there was a greater story to tell.

- [Keeping the spark alive](https://cheryltay.sg/keeping-the-spark-alive/) - I admit I struggled with motivation after I completed the Ironman Malaysia race in Langkawi last November.

- [Ironman 70.3 Cebu 2018](https://cheryltay.sg/ironman-703-cebu-2018/) - A journey without challenges and obstacles will not show you how much more there is to yourself. Each time you run into a setback, get up, dust yourself off and get going. While we want a smooth and easy life, we wouldn’t know how to appreciate the sweet times without going through the tough times.
- [Aviva offers 24/7 automated emergency assistance with its latest Motor Prestige plan](https://cheryltay.sg/aviva-motor-prestige/) - My car is like my best friend cum workout buddy – it accompanies me to training and sees me home after training.

This is a tailored suit by Stitched Custom, where you can (as the name suggests) customise your own suit. I'm
- [Learning to love, all over again](https://cheryltay.sg/learning-to-love-all-over-again/) - At one point, you feel so broken that you actually believe you may never love again. This stems from a sense of fear deep inside you, a fear of getting hurt.
