From coconut kaya granolas to all-natural almond butter and sweet chili nut mix, these are the kind of healthy snacks Amazin' Graze advocates daily. Founded by a group of three women, Lee Ching Yi, Amy Zheng and Sabrina How, who quit their corporate jobs in 2015 to create this award-winning startup that serves what are now our favourite healthy but delicious snacks.

The bubbly lady boss and mom, Jenn Low, has an engaging personality, a big reason for the success of her jewellery brand, Wanderlust + Co. She started her company in her bedroom, and since then her gold and silver jewellery have found favours with the likes of Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid. Our favourite collection thus far is her collaboration with social media influencer, Tara Milk Tea

Creatively wrapped in a holographic box, Enya is a purveyor of affordable organic cotton feminine pads for women. Suitable for all skin types, it is the brainchild of Elaine Hong whose sensitive skin has a negative reaction to most off-the-shelf personal care items in stores. Apart from the aesthetically pleasing box, we love the comfortable pads suited for all skin types.
