I tried Murad’s new RAPID DARK SPOT CORRECTING SERUM followed by CITY SKIN AGE DEFENSE BROAD SPECTRUM SPF50 PA++++ for 14 days and I’m going to share the result here in this post. I have several tiny dark spots on my skin that I wish to address without visiting the doctor. I applied Rapid Dark Spot Correcting Serum for 14 days and am glad to report that I see visible reduction in my dark spots […]

I’ve tried many types of blackhead remover mask but still haven’t found the one that can remove blackheads effectively until I tried the carbon activated one from My Scheming. I must say I am satisfied with the strength of that mask and my blackheads are gone after I peeled off the mask BUT… this is what it looks like while trying to peel the mask off.  Will I use again after this ordeal? Most probably. […]

If you have been following my blog, you’ll know that I am a regular at Premier Clinic for my acne scars issue. I was first introduced to Premier Clinic when my beautician recommended that I do Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) procedure that claims to be able to improve acne scars. I don’t always jump into the bandwagon without proper research and upon studying it further, I learned that while PRP is quite a simple and safe […]

Since I started treatment for my acne scars three weeks ago, I know I won’t stop at just PRP. You can read about PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) procedure in my earlier post. Dr Vanessa already told me I will need more than just PRP for my scars and suggested Subcision or Laser treatments but I wasn’t ready for neither of them at that time. AFTER PRP Platelet Rich Plasma injection helped to a certain extend […]

I don’t understand why people would want to bleach their hair. Here I am struggling to get rid of strands of my greying hair while others opt to decolourize their perfectly healthy hair. I always thought I have it under control though as I get Ethan to help me pluck them during his free time. Recently though, Ethan told me I may go bald if he were to pluck all my grey hair away. I […]

I turned 41 last December and I feel proud about it! I used to be terrified to reveal my age as it makes me conscious about my beauty, which matters a lot to me. Age fades beauty and aesthetically, I noticed the skin on my cheeks start to sag and my jawline less defined. This bothered me but it was not worth going under the knife for it. Though it may not be visible, but […]

When I was younger, I suffered from bad acne. It is made worst with my active lifestyle under the sun. I was young and carefree and did not care much about my looks. But now that I am older with moon craters all over my face, I wish I had done something to control my acne situation back then. It is frustrating because after investing in hefty facial treatments at beauty salons and trying all […]

As a stay at home mom to two active boys, I don’t have much time for myself hence you don’t see me dolled up often. I am at home most of the time too so all the more no reason for me to dress up to the nines. However, I do get the opportunity to go out and meet people every once in a while and this is my golden opportunity to put my best […]

It has been 3 months since I did Ultherapy. I see obvious lifting of the skin on my cheeks and jawline, as well as below chin/upper neck area. My side profile is sharper without loose skin under the chin. Since my previous blog post on my Ultherapy procedure, I’ve received numerous questions from curious readers. I’ll address them all here in this post today. Why Ultherapy? Why not just consume collagen? Our body makes collagen […]

Handbags, sling bags…which do u prefer? I’m a backpack kind of girl. The only bag I have with me are my eyebags  I received a backpack as a gift recently. It is totally what I like in a bag. Not too big with lots of compartments yet still looking very feminine. This is the bag I am talking about. I love how aesthetically pleasing it is to the eyes. The size is just right for me. […]

Ethan celebrated his 11th birthday in July while Ayden turned 5 end of August. I often wonder, where have all the time gone?  My boys are growing so fast, soon it will be back to only me and Darling when they both leave home to further their studies. Will it be honeymoon period again for us? Will Darling still see me the same as the beautiful bride he married back then? While it is not […]

I’ve graduated from carrying a Mummy bag! If previously I am always seen lugging a hard shell Mummy bag where ever I go, I can now be seen walking around in style in my favourite colour – PINK!  Minimalistic yet functional, my new cheery Pråper Pink Gaston Luga Swedish backpack is my current favourite especially when I travel as its thick canvas material is very comfortable to hug in the plane.  The non-bulky straps complement my […]

I stopped carrying handbags for over a decade now since I became a mother. What used to be a handbag has been replaced by a diaper/milk bag as there are just too many things to bring along when we go out with the boys. Recently, I received a couple of MIZZUE bags for Mother’s Day. It reminded me how much I missed having my own bag instead of lugging a diaper bag everywhere. This new ‘Sunshine Dooms’ […]

We were privileged to be invited to experience the newly unveiled completely restyled West Wings guest rooms at Renaissance Kuala Lumpur Hotel last weekend. I’ll write more about those wonderful new rooms later as there are many pictures and videos I’d love to share with you but haven’t got the time composing them into a story yet. During our staycation here at Renaissance Kuala Lumpur Hotel, I was also treated to a much needed relaxation at Mandara […]

It has been a year since I started frequenting Number76 at Starhill Gallery for all my hair needs. They introduced me to hair relaxing, a softer and more natural look as opposed to super straight rebonded hair. I became a fan of hair relaxing from then onwards that I don’t think I’ll ever do rebonding again.  Number76, Starhill Gallery The Starhill Gallery branch has extended their salon and is now bigger and more spacious.  They also […]

Last Sunday I went to get my hair cut. I’ve not had a hair cut since January and it is really messy. I took this opportunity to get Ayden’s hair cut too. It is Ayden’s first professional hair cut and it’s FREE! 😘 “Number76 gives free hair cut to all kids below 5, if their parent is a member” Since I will be there for a hair cut and hair relaxing service, I might as well arrange […]

It’s the second day I woke up at 5am to cook for Ethan’s school break. My life is AUNTIFIED to the max when the kid is in school. So many things to blog about but no time to process the pictures also so let those wait for a while lah. In the meantime, to convince myself I am not so aunty yet, let me share pictures of my current hair colour :P I went to […]

I’ve had straight hair for years and am beginning to feel bored with it. Was game to try getting a permanent curl so I headed to Number 76 at Starhill Gallery last weekend to see what can be done. Say goodbye to my rebonded straight hair. My Hair Makeover Menu of the Day: 1. Digital Perm (RM424) 2. Ultrasonic hair treatment (RM265) I saw myself looking like a little lamb with all the heating rods. […]

My first ever experience of getting a hair service in Number 76 was at their Bangsar 2 branch. It was quite tricky to get a parking spot there as that area can be really congested. I looked through the rest of their branches and find that the one in Starhill can accomodate my schedule better as I can only get things done on the weekends. Number 76 in Starhill is very busy during the weekdays […]

I don’t have a daughter. If I do, I am sure to dress her the same as me from time to time. It would be fun to have a mini me parading the same outfit as mine. But yeah, I don’t have a daughter. So what I did was: I dressed the father and son similar. This was before we have Ayden. I have yet to get a similar outfit for all three of them.  […]

When I received the invitation to attend The Sloane Clinic’s Beauty & Your Fortune Workshop, I accepted it immediately as I am keen to learn more on what my face has to say about me. The Sloane Clinic™ is one of the leading aesthetic clinics in Singapore and Malaysia. I made my way to The Sloane Clinic™ Pavilion KL on a beautiful Saturday morning to attend the workshop. From left to right: Dr Aster Low, […]

I went for a follow-up consultation with regards to the Ultherapy™ treatment I did on 28 January 2015 at The Sloane Clinic, Bangsar. But before I touch more on that, here’s a little recap on Ultherapy™. Ultherapy™ is a FDA approved breakthrough procedure that uses medical ultrasound for non-surgical cosmetic improvement of the skin.  Ultherapy™ works deep below the surface – without harming the outer layer of skin-for dramatic and long-lasting benefits of facial firming, […]

This post I am sharing is very personal to me as it involves Ethan and his foot condition. I was totally unaware about it until recently. I hope with this sharing, many mothers out there will be more aware about the well-being of their children’s feet. Before we got Ayden, when we went shopping with Ethan, we still bring along the stroller even when he was 4 to 5 years old. The reason being he always […]

2015 is a brand new year that marks many personal milestones for me. One of them being Darling and I will be celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary this year.  I’ll also be turning 38 this year. Oh my, where have the time gone? Like it or not, I’ll be touching the big 4-0 in a couple of years’ time :( As I aged, my skin becomes less firm. It is no longer as tight, causing […]

You know I am actually relieved that we are having another week of school holidays. It’s because we haven’t got time to prepare Ethan’s back-to-school stuff until the very last minute. This weekend had been a very busy one for us with buying school shoes, uniform, wrapping books and also to get his haircut. When I was in school, my school shoes are just plain white shoes. But Ethan.. this boy had Angry Bird and Ben 10 […]

Ayden loves taking OOTD shots. If you don’t already know, OOTD stands for Outfit Of The Day. He loves dressing up and will not hesitate to let me take a shot of him. All we needed to do was to say OOTD and he’ll ‘stick’ himself against the wall for us.  After each shot, he’ll check the picture to see if it’s nice… He can really give us many shots from which I will eventually […]

I have always love Trudy & Teddy’s timeless classic European style with a touch of modernity. I like their fine workmanship and their designs are simply outstanding. I’ve been dressing Ethan up in Trudy & Teddy apparels since it was born in 2010. Ethan was three years old then. * Archive picture of Ethan (3 years old) in Trudy & Teddy top to toe. Imagine my delight when I saw that they will be opening […]

I made my very first charm bracelet back in 2011 under the guidance of Angie of Kelvin Gems. We became close acquaintance and kept in touch until today. I attended her drop earring workshop too and actually blogged about how to make charm bracelet and drop earrings. Click on the respective topic to read further: 1) How to make charm bracelet 2) How to make drop earrings Reading back, I can’t believe how girly I was. […]

Our weekend came and gone in a blink of an eye. Crazy weekend indeed for us. So crazy and busy that we were hardly home. Out first thing in the morning and came home late after midnight.  In the midst of all the rushing and getting the kids ready, someone has obviously gone blind.  Noticed this while we were having dinner. I googled and guess what? Mismatched socks are in fashion right now! LoL! Never worry about […]

Since giving birth to Ayden I’ve not gone shopping for clothes for the most obvious reason – fat. Those extra flabs will just ruin any nice outfit hence I always resorted to baggy tee and ah pek pants. Another factor is bcoz I am breastfeeding so my choice of clothes are usually based on how easily my boobs are accessible by the baby ( not the Daddy, Daddy needs to find a new hobby ). […]

We were in H&M looking for Ayden’s sleepwear. Urm, Darling was the one looking actually. I was busy carrying Ayden and making sure he is not grabbing anything in his sight. This boy is a pro grabber now. He’ll grab anything that gets in his way. Suddenly… “Ohai! I iz SHARK. Nice to meet you.” “Boo! It’s ME la Daddy! Did I scare ya? Huh? Did I? Did I?” “What do you mean I’m not […]

Ethan had an accident in school not too long ago and injured his head, right? Yeah, so he was on MC the next day. We did some bubble wrap artwork to occupy our time. Ethan and Ayden, all ready for bubble wrap art! First, I loosely wrap Ayden’s feet with bubble wrap. Ayden getting all curious with his wrapped feet there. Hehe :D Next, Ethan painted both Ayden’s wrapped feet. The following step is the […]

I was privileged to be invited to attend the KOSÉ SEKKISEI Lotion Mask workshop @ Pavillion recently.   Being a tired second time mother to 6-month old Ayden, my skin is dull and dehydrated hence it was an evening of luxury as I got to try, feel, experience and be pampered with KOSÉ SEKKISEI Lotion Mask 10x Hydration that grants me translucent and whitening skin! KOSÉ’s bestselling skincare range We were first guided on removing our […]

 I tell you one thing. When I first saw a friend folding this towel for her baby, I have no idea that this is the famous lamb head towels that you see in Korean drama series. My idea of Korea is Psy’s Gangnam Style. That’s it. Only that. I’m not a K-pop fan or anything so you can understand my lack of intelligence in regards to that part of the world. But now I […]

I’ve seen 2D Cartoon Bags online for quite a while but always wondered where to get them. I know we can purchase them online but you know me, I don’t do online shopping.  Last weekend, we were walking along The Curve’s street bazaar when I chanced upon these 2D Cartoon bags. I stopped immediately to have a look at them. I have no idea how much these are selling elsewhere as I’ve never bothered before. […]

Last year, when Angry Bird was the hype, we bought Ethan the bedsheet set because it was selling at half price from RM99 to RM49.50. We thought it was such a steal that we bought it without thinking twice and happily blogged about the Angry Bird bedspread.  Ethan’s Angry Bird bedspread with matching pyjamas Last weekend, we were in Aeon and saw the latest promo – Man of Steel. The Man of Steel bedspread is […]

I hate shopping (especially for shoes) and that is mainly because I can hardly find anything my size (size 3) -_- I was looking high and low for a walking shoes that is comfortable enough for me to wear at least 8 hours a day due to the long hours of events I have to attend frequently. My boots just won’t do it anymore as it has high heels and my feet feels sore by […]

I was shopping with Daddy today when I saw this suave looking shirt that really caught my attention.  Daddy lets me try a whole lot of other shirts and pants before finally taking this one final shot of me in Trudy & Teddy: And then we waited for the bill and made our way to the cashier… It was an enjoyable day shopping with Daddy. Definitely one of my precious moments, spending time with Daddy […]

There’s no secret I love lingerie. Who says being a mommy means you can’t be wearing sweet, flirty lingerie? I’d take any opportunity to attend any lingerie fashion show as I simply LOVE lingerie! Have I told you how much I love lingerie? Hehe..  ^_^ Yesterday I attended the launch of Wacoal’s Salute line of lingerie. Let me share with you some of the pictures taken :) Mannequin or real? The models stood there as […]

Being pregnant is one of life’s miracles. We ladies get to experience this wonderful journey while the guys can just watch in envy :P However, what is not to envy is the appearance of stretch marks in some women during pregnancy. While some mothers take it as a blessing; treating stretch marks as a token to cherish her pregnancy, I would do all I can to prevent it. What causes stretch marks? Imagine your skin […]

On the second day of our 3D/2N stay in Awana Kijal, Golf, Beach & Spa Resort, I went for their famed Javanese Massage while Darling and Ethan played in the swimming pool. Taman Sari Royal Heritage Spa Awana Kijal, Golf, Beach & Spa Resort As usual, I had to fill up the medical form. My therapist Nurul Aini. She’s really good. For me, when I go for massage, I like those that is soothing and […]

You know back when you were dating, some of you might have bought couple tees  that compliment each other? It’s like a jigsaw puzzle piece, the tee won’t be complete unless the other half is wearing his/hers. It was like a statement to tell the world that he/she is YOURS? Well, Darling and I were never in that phase during our courting days but as we grow into our  seventh years of marriage, we are […]

I was out shopping yesterday and spotted this tee. The caption captivates me and immediately I took one to try. I saw one lady asking the staff there if they have the same tee in XL size. Now tell me, why would you want to wear a tee that says, “I May Be Small But I’m Strong” if you are an XL sized person? o.O

Not too long ago, I was invited to attend a LINGERIE Spring 2012 party. If you are an avid follower of my blog you’ll know how I super LOVE lingerie! I can never have enough of them! So there I was at that super sexy party with my even sexier BUSTIER TOP HANDBAG bought all the way from Brussels, Belgium. We were given a door gift immediately upon arrival. To my delight, I found a […]

We were in my second home (guess where?) yesterday when we came across this: OMG Angry Bird bed sheets selling at 50% off! Ethan immediately ran towards it and started choosing. He even asked the promoter how much it is after discount! >_< Original price is RM99 after discount is RM49.50 for a Super Single set. Not bad right? We wanted to get the comforter set sekali but they’ve run out on the design that […]

You know I’m kinda a ‘full-time’ blogger right? I’m FULL most of the TIME! ok lame joke >_< Anyway, what I wanted to say is I’m in front of the PC most of the time. And then there are those many events that we needed to attend. My butt is literally glued to the chair at all times that even when I need to do my make-up before going out, I do it in front […]

We were invited to indulge in an afternoon tea party at Harrods, KLCC today courtesy of SkinFood Malaysia in conjunction with the launch of their new BB Good Afternoon Cream Line. Ethan and I dressed to the nines for the English Tea at Harrods, KLCC. Ethan had his very first afternoon tea experience today and he loved it! He find mixing his own tea fascinating :D Trays of delicious scones, sandwiches and tarts. While having our […]

I walk pass this like every other day and it baffles me how TWO pictures can be so SAME yet so DIFFERENT! The first pic was taken at the STORE itself while the second pic was taken like 2 metres in front of the entrance of the store. Can you spot the difference? Is it the job of a good push-up bra that works wonders or is it just merely PHOTOSHOP? For all its worth, […]

From Xmas to CNY and now into Valentine’s Day. The clock seems to be ticking so quickly. Valentine’s Day falls on the 14th February every year but it has always been a habit of Darling and I to celebrate it earlier as food is ridiculously expensive on that day itself. This year we did something different. Since we’ve been pigging out since Christmas, we decided to do something else besides eating. We decided to go […]

How to remove tissue paper from clothing that was wash together in the washing machine? Chinese New Year is just around the corner and like as if I’m not busy enough, this had to happen to me! Darling don’t normally put his own laundry into the washing machine. The most he’ll do is to place them in the laundry basket. But today, the super rajin dude placed his working clothes INSIDE the washing machine. I […]

I remember fondly 7 months ago when we were first introduced to Trudy and Teddy apparel. I fell in love with their European style instantly! When they organised their first tea party in June, we were privileged to be amongst their invited guests. We were given a budget of RM300 to select the apparels for our kid to parade in their fashion parade during the tea party. It was a whole lot of fun scouting through their lovely […]

I was at GUESS Holiday 2011 Collection some time ago when they gave me this: GUESS Purse Hanger You know how ladies love to place their handbags behind them (sandwiched between their back and the chair) when they are having dinner? That is not quite safe. I can now hang my bag next to me and I did just that during the recent NAPBAS dinner :D I just take it out from my bag and […]

It’s almost a wordless post this is. Was in 1U when Ethan suddenly hopped inside that ‘hole’ and requested me to photograph him! I took out my iPhone 4 and started snapping… :) :P Peace! :D That’s the use of my iPhone4, for moments like this! I heard iPhone4s has better camera! I SO MUST GO GET IT! -.-

Ever since Ethan was born, I have been his barber. Four years without ever going to the barber for a haircut until today. I asked Ethan if he would like to have his hair cut by someone else besides me and straightaway he said, “YES!” I did not expect that at all.. I thought he would say NO. Call me bad but my immediate response was, “then you don’t want Mommy to cut your hair […]

Darling got me something today. At RM31.90 each I’d be angry too! But okay lagi lah as the quality is much better than those pasar malam ones. Anyway, since he has the heart to get me that, I’d better give him some face and wear it for the world to see. So ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, here’s presenting…. my pair of very ANGRY BOOBS! >_< He definitely ain’t getting any of those boobs today! Take a hint Darling, lingerie dear, LINGERIE! […]

I’m so HAPPY! I finally found a pair of open toe pumps that comes in size 3, MY size! Yeay! The hobbit can HAS shooooooe! That is the result of being out of the house the ENTIRE day! I went out in the morning to send Ethan to class and shopped around Giza for shoes but nothing suits me. Went to 1U with Ethan after his class and after hours and hours of wandering around […]
