View PostIt is SO HOT these days, UGH. I am not looking forward to confinement. These days, we are stepping up our game and really preparing for confinement. I’m not so sure if I’m going to survive confinement without showering or washing my hair. My hair gets ridiculously oily and in need of a deep scalp cleansing within 2 days. Sigh. Btw, that photo up there, so beautiful. So well taken by Era from Cottony Photography (see all the shoots I’ve…
View PostI’ve been pondering about how to approach the topic on prenatal body treatment for awhile now. How do I write this blogpost?

View PostI’m pregnant second time around and I’m pretty much set that this will be the last pregnancy. And that’s why I’m totally going out all and dressing the bump up! I remembered having a fruitful shopping experience with Maternity Exchange during my last pregnancy so I decided to go check out their BUY or RENT maternity and nursing wear concept. Yes, you heard it, you can browse their wide range of collection online or in-store and choose to either buy OR RENT…
View PostStudies have shown that babies can remember music that was played to them in the womb for up to a year after birth. With that, we decided to check out Bellybuds to play music for baby. It is a safe baby-bump sound system that offers parents-to-be a means to deliver audio stimulation to their developing child to start creating those memories now.
View PostThis time around, I am totally embracing my growing belly and am determined to look and feel my best during these 9 short and precious months. With a baby bump in the foreseeable future, I am not taking any chances with the stretch marks that’s going to come my way. Here’s how I fight stretch marks!
