Behind The Scenes Of A Consultation With Halley Medical Aesthetics

I’ve just started a new phase in my life. I’m back full time at work (and blogging is not my full time job), juggling work, family and me time clumsily. Although I believe in allocating time to all 3 departments so as to live life to the fullest, it is not always easy. Today’s sharing a post on some me time, where I decided to pay a visit to Dr Terence Tan at Halley Medical Aesthetics. I had some fat-freezing done when…

How I Planned An Elaborate Yellow Duck Nautical Themed Party

New Korean Hospital Grade Breastpump – This Is Worth Checking Out

And… the name of the brand is Gaksimil. You probably haven’t heard of it before, well neither have I until I kept seeing it at baby fairs!

In a market saturated with many other successful brands, I was interested to see just what this new kid on the block had in it’s pocket. Gaksimil Sense Electric Double Breast Pump Here’s what…

Is A UV Steriliser Really Worth It?

Just upgraded my modest electric steam steriliser to the Haenim UV Steriliser! I used to sterilise my kid’s milk bottles and my breast pump with the usual “traditional” electric steam method. Recently I have been using a more conveniently efficient (IMHO at least) way to sterilise bottles for my baby. While it is A WHOLE LOT MORE EXPENSIVE compared to electric steam sterilisers, many moms like me prefer UV Sterilising to Electric Steam Sterilising and I’m about to share why. I am…

Brain Training Enrichment Classes – A Fad Or Does It Really Work?

We’ve been sending our 30 month old child, Daniel, for brain training classes at BrainFit Studios. There were many enrichment classes we have tried before but I am glad we chose to send him to Brainfit for one simple reason. We see results. Daniel has achieved so many new milestones after attending this brain training course, and that’s why I’m writing about it here (and also because don’t know why suddenly brain training is so often discussed amongst my mummy friends now!) BrainFit Baby™ Programme…

Thank god I didn’t because what will I do with all those crazy props after the shoot and where will I find time to do the shoot la. I may be…

Kiddylicious Review – wholesome yummy snacks for kids

We just loaded up on snacks for my kid, Daniel. Decided to try out this new brand called Kiddylicious because it brands itself to be a relatively healthier choice for kids. All of the snacks you see here are gluten-free, have no sugar and artificial additives added. Interesting. Let’s give it a taste test. Fruit Wriggles & Wafers Fruit Wriggles are kinda like raisins (dried fruit) but in a longish shape which is interesting to Daniel because he gets to hold them…
