It is never too early to prepare your bags for delivery. You wouldn't want to run around the house packing your bag after your water bag burst. It is good to make sure your hospital bag is ready at least 2 weeks before your EDD, or even earlier. And it must be place somewhere where it is easy to access in case of emergency. Make sure your family members, siblings and husband know where the bag is, so in case you really forgot, they can help you to bring over to the hospital. So what should we pack in the bag? I will list them out in 4 different parts. 1. Documentation  For Admission:  1. Mother's IC 2. Admission Form For Baby's Birth Registration 1. Mother's IC 2. Father's IC 3. Marriage Certificate Do check with your hospital for the required documents. 2. Mummy 1. Mobile phone & charger -  Keep your family members updated of your situation. Keeps you entertain while waiting and to take ...

Have you tried the Christmas beverages from Starbucks?  美味しいです。。(Delicious in Japanese) This year Starbucks return with 3 returning favorites and a new creation, in both hot latte and frappuccino options. Latte Version Photo credits: Starbucks Singapore New Creation:  Christmas Panettone Latte Returning Favorite:  Peppermint Mocha Latte (Recommended) Gingerbread Latte Toffee Nut Latte Frappuccino Version Photo Credits: Starbucks Singapore New Creation:  Christmas Panettone  Returning Favorite:  Peppermint Mocha (Recommended) Gingerbread Toffee Nut  I've tried all the hot & cold flavors and I preferred the usual Peppermint Mocha in both hot & cold options. As for the new creation, Christmas Panettone, it doesn't give me any surprises at all. I think the dried fruits sprinkle doesn't do justice to the drink too.  Another item that I highly recommend is the Chocolate ...

Today, I'm going to review on one of my beauty hauls from Japan, the Canmake Mermaid Skin Gel UV. (Mr WONDERFUL got them for me during his last business trip.) About the Product Splash! Feel as fresh as a mermaid princess. Benefits: SPF 50+/PA+++ Smooth gel texture, light & refreshing It is a base, a moisturizing lotion and also a sun screen Suitable for face & body My Reviews: The gel texture is very lightweight on my skin. Applies easily and absorbed into the skin easily. Very cooling texture and refreshes the skin. Not oily or sticky, doesn't clog pores. Good for lazy girls as it is works as a moisturizer, make up base and sun screen all in one. SPF 50+/PA+++ is a plus point. My make up last longer when I apply this before make up, after my moisturizer. Can be applied on both face & body. Cheap when you get it from Japan, less than SGD$10. Currently, this is my fav...

I collected a sample tub of Fresh Black Tea Instant Perfecting Mask few weeks ago when I received their newsletter.  This is a hydrating mask treatment that immediately reveals softer, firmer, healthier looking skin.The innovative formula's velvety whipped texture has an immediate cooling effect to refresh the skin and the senses. My Reviews: The mask looks like whipped potato but with black tea fragrance. The black tea fragrance is very soothing, helps to keep me relax. The whipped texture makes it very easy to apply on the face. There's a cooling sensation on my skin when applying the mask on. Upon washing out, the cooling sensation remains on the skin for some time. Skin does feels softer and smoother after washing out the mask. I'm unable to comment if my skin looks firmer or not as I see no difference, you may need a few uses to see that. I think that it is a little too expensive for me. Overall it does gives me a very cooling and relaxing feelin...

Counting down to 7 more weeks... I'm feeling excited and nervous at the same time... Still trying to get all the baby stuffs ready...  Click here to read my previous post on Feeding & Bath and Nursing & Outing . Clothings 1. Onesies (Long/Short Sleeves) What I wanted: Simply Life Bamboo Apparel $29.95 What I actually bought: Simply Life Long Sleeve Sleep Suit $20.95 (Takashimaya after 30% Discount) The material is super soft and cooling, which is great for singapore's hot & humid weather!

Side Ties/Side Snaps Tops What I wanted: No Perferences What I actually bought: Baby By Spring Bamboo Cotton Kimono Tee X 3/Kimono Body Suit X 3 $31.90/$31.90 (Baby Fair Price) I love the material as they are very soft and feels cool upon touch. It is also more affordable. There's 3 sets in each pack and af...
