Annette's WONDERFUL Playground

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! But it's really a little pricy. Luckily there's some sales going on, otherwise I may not buy this... 2. 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...

Click here to read my previous post on Feeding & Bath. Nursery 1. Cot What I wanted: Ibenma Lifecot 5-in-1 Baby Cot $480 (Sale Price) What I actually bought: Playpen $200 Due to space constrain in my small small room, and after discussing with my mum, we decided to get a playpen with wheels.  Reason: After my ML, my mum will be taking care of my little girl for me, so having a playpen with wheels will be easier for my mum. She can wheel the playpen out in the living room during the day time, makes it easier for her to oversee the little girl while she's busy with other stuffs. I bought the playpen on the last day of the baby fair and they agreed to have it delivered to me in late November, when it gets closer to my due date. That's good as I've got limited storage spaces at home.. The deal also comes with a mattress and fitted sheets which I think is a good deal. Will upload a photo when I received it in November. 2.

I have always been a DIY person since young, and every year I will always DIY cards for Mr WONDERFUL and my colleagues. Recently, I saw a blog post about This DIY Explosion Box and became interested in it. I went to YouTube and begin searching for the instruction video. My brother's wedding was just around the corner and I thought this will make a great wedding gift for him. So what's an explosion box??? It looks like any ordinary gift boxes on the outside, but when you opened up the box, it 'explodes' into a series of flaps and pockets. You can stick photographs, write little poems on the flaps to decorate them. It is actually something similar to scrapbooking, except that the outlook is a BOX.  So I turn these pieces of colored & pattened papers and card boards into..... these little flaps (with help of some other little decorations as well).... And my end product looks like this..... ...

Been quite busy for the passed few weeks as it is getting closer to my due date. As of 17/10/2015, baby's 8 months already.  There are so many things to do, yet so little time... Really hope that there's 48 hours A DAY!! :( I need to shop for baby's stuffs, starting to train my staffs to take over my task when I'm on ML, attended some parenting/mama's classes, my brother just had his wedding last weekend and I spent almost two weeks to DIY his Wedding Gift (There's a separate post on that!!!). That's a lot to do for a pregnant woman.... :X Baby's stuffs are almost ready, maybe for some minor stuffs that I've missed out. I haven't really get anything for myself yet. Remember the newborn checklist I had posted, I did some changes to it so let's see  what have I got for her! Feeding 1. Breast Pump What I wanted: Medela Freestyle Double Electric Breast Pump $490++ What I actually bought: Unimom ...

I had missed out the August box as there was some issue with the payment. Sep's Glamabox box came in late and I got them only in early October.
