My Post Natal Weight Loss Journey

Today I am 11 weeks post natal, time to talk about my post natal weight loss journey. It’s been really awesome past 11 weeks.

My Post Natal Slimming Treatment

In my last post about my confinement, I mentioned about how I am grateful that I have decided to do my post natal slimming treatment with Valerie from Nouri Face & Body Concepts. I went to her for my prenatal massages and loved every session of it. I only wished I found her earlier. Since we hit it off and her massage is really the strong type, plus she was patient enough to explain why her post natal slimming treatment…

Maternity Bras from Spring Maternity

It has come to a point where my previous bras doesn’t fit anymore. And I was too silly to buy bras with wires in them before as my maternity bras. If you didn’t already know, nursing and maturity bras must all have NO wires as it will restrict the flow of breastmilk.
