A mother's horrifying self-pampering trip

Image
So, the other day, I decided to treat myself to something as I didn't really had the time to pamper myself since the baby arrived. During my off day, I left the baby at the baby sitter and took the LRT to KLCC just to find something for myself. Once I arrived in KLCC, I was spoilt for choice. NARS, Bobbi Brown, MAC and Sephora was calling out my name. I visited each and every of those stores painstakingly and checked out their latest collection of makeup. I loved some of the products that I tried on myself but I still walked out of the stores empty-handed. Something was bugging me. I could not bring myself to buy anything. Mind you, I was a beauty blogger who love her makeup to bits. After having my favourite pasta at Pizza Milano in KLCC food court for lunch, I finally know what was bugging me. I didn't want to pamper myself with yet another concealer or foundation. I wanted something that was worth my money. Something better than makeup that disappears when I was ...

Image
Ever since I had a baby, I was eagerly waiting for her to start eating solid food. I was too excited to feed her nutritious food because I wanted her to try every healthy food options that a baby can take.  As babies her age should only be fed with finely pureed food, I was on the lookout for the perfect food processor that would be easy to handle and delivers good result. I started surveying for the best baby blenders and among the blenders that caught my eye in the numerous baby fairs that I always end up in, was the Autumnz 2-in-1 Baby Food Processor. Autumnz 2-in-1 Baby Food Processor instantly attracted me because it has two functions. It can steam and blend. And there is no need for you to wait for the steamed food to cool before blending.

I have achieved my goal of breastfeeding for 6 months and I am mentally prepared to face any challenges that comes with a having 6-month-old.

5 sebab kenapa saya pilih Hospital Ampang untuk bersalin

Image
Suami saya selalu berkata sekiranya saya mengandung, saya kena bersalin di Hospital Ampang. Pada mulanya, saya tidak bersetuju dengannya. Ada suara kecil dalam diri saya yang berbisik, private hospital lagi bagus dengan kemudahan yang lebih canggih. Tetapi apabila mendapat tahu jika berlaku sebarang kecemasan yang serius ketika bersalin, private hospital pun akan merujuk kes terbabit kepada hospital kerajaan, saya akur dengan keputusan suami. Bukan sahaja itu, sebagai seorang isteri solehah, saya terpaksa mendengar cakap suami saya dan kini saya rasa keputusan yang dibuatnya adalah amat tepat sekali. Saya disahkan mengandung dengan anak sulung saya pada bulan March 2016. Dua bulan selepas itu, saya mendaftarkan diri saya ke Klinik Ibu dan Anak Kampung Cheras Baru untuk mendapatkan ‘buku pink’ yang wajib didapatkan oleh semua ibu mengandung. Sebulan selepas itu, saya disuruh minum air gula sebagai ujian untuk menentukan sekiranya saya menghidapi gestational diab...

I can't believe I am a mother!

Image
I am now a mother. I can't believe it myself! Since schooling days, practically every single person who knew me, will go, "You are so motherly. You will make a good mother!". I had no idea what that was all about. All I knew back then was, I get it all the time from every single person I know. In fact my husband, (then friend/boyfriend) told me the same thing. "You would make a great mother. Your future children are going to be very lucky to have a mother like you," he would say. Back then, I didn't even know that he would be the father! ;) Sometimes, I was perplexed by the comments. What exactly do these people mean? I mean, I looked young just like the rest of the girls my age. I definitely dress young, not matronly! Then, how come I kept on receiving comments that I look motherly? My bestie Rozie, as I fondly call her, then, shed some light on this mystery. "People say that to you a lot because you have a certain gentleness abou...
