🎁MOTHER’S DAY GIVEAWAY - IG & FB🎉 • I finally own a dress by Vera (W)Ang 😏 My first and only piece in the entire world by V - I’ll wear, keep and remember fondly. Sharing our experience - a little lengthy but I’m penning this impt lesson for myself. • My little girl tried her hands on fashion designing for the first time. I was nervous abt “getting it right” and wanted these dresses to be our best efforts since I ain’t crafty. As you can see in the #BTS pic, we had different sketched drafts to discuss what we could include. #职业病 game strong; conceptualisation = thought + effort. Soon, I realised I had forgotten the “kiddy fun” of free rein. • At the 11th hr, I ran down to the photocopying shop to print more dress templates. We discussed again, she drew & coloured, got impatient & stopped. I got impatient cos our project was incomplete. Then, my husband said, “It’s just for fun, right? Let’s see how to make it better.” I felt little - he’s the artsy one but here I was struggling to put something nice together. • I was engrossed with the end result: 2 pretty dresses we could wear proudly. There were considerations like how to make the print effect better. I was worried about a “bad outcome”, and was using my marketing 🧠 instead of my fun Mum 🎩. My child and K reminded that bonding over activities to create a precious keepsake were impt too. The joyful journey of creating something together can be as simple as it’s meant to be. • So I apologised and said she could draw whatever she wanted & maybe I’ll add some touches for better print effects. She said, “It’s okay, mummy.” 🙂 And we worked on the final version where she decided to draw our family, 2 pax on each dress 😍 She was super excited to receive them - swipe for video 💖 • To celebrate Mother’s Day, we want you to wear your child’s artwork as a dress or tee! Prize: A pair of parent + child outfits for TWO WINNERS! To join: ✅ Follow @deedeedee13 & @artwearama . ✅ Comment by telling us why you should be picked. . ✅ Tag at least 3 mummy/daddy friends. • Giveaway ends 3 May, 2359. • ✴️🛒Use “DEE10” to save 10% of off the prices on www.artwearama.com.sg! 👗 👕Have fun designing new #twinning outfits! #THPperks Back to reality and thinking of our nature adventure during the Mangrove Tour! . . How often do we get to see mudskippers, crabs, Kodomo dragons, crocodiles, bald kites, and have the chance to feed monkeys? They were really docile, btw! It was good fun onboard the 🚤 where we spent 2.5hrs in the muddy homes of these animals. . . We were also taken on a science lesson by our guide. Do you know how to tell the gender of shells? 👉🏼Swipe to see that photo of an opened shell, and look for that white fleshy area inside it - those are eggs, and that’s a female! K said we should fry them with sambal 🤦🏻‍♀️That’s not lala, my dear 🤣 In fact, my adventurous husband volunteered to join the Guide in the swampy mangrove, so he could dig for those shells too! 😍 . . I’m glad we added this activity into our itinerary for our short resort trip. K and I agreed it was the highlight of our trip as we did something “different” from the usual 😂 😂 Also, I’ll be sharing about our massage experience at the resort, which K and I were very much looking forward to so we could get those knots kneaded away. . . 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♂️Who loves spa and massage sessions too? 💆🏻‍♀️💆🏻‍♂️ One minute, he’s all smiles. But the next minute, he’s consumed by tears and drama. Is this the journey of Threenagers? . . It feels so surreal to know that he’s already 3. I thought we just had this wee baby? Is this how it’s like with a second child? Their early days pass faster and some memories are a little fuzzy. Or maybe it’s just my #momsbrain trying to manoeuvre between work, kids, school homework and my own social life, or lack of 🤣🙊 . . Sharing this happy face here cos he’s that happy lark often with a flash of smile 😁 In fact, after he changed into his uniform this morning, he announced while walking out of the room, “Handsome boy coming!” 😆 He sure knows how to crack me up after the morning meltdown 😒 . . Stay cool as coconut water 🥥 💦 to refresh everyone you meet with your personality, Leroy! 🤩 Missing the long weekend and dreaming of #resortlife now that I’m back to the daily grind! . . With coconut 🥥 water, sea 🌊 and the opened sky ⛅️ view, it really does wonders to be away from the mundane routine to catch a breather. . . Speaking of doing something different, I’m usually not a fan of coconut infused products. These @lovebeautyandplanetsg products got me intrigued when they arrived, and I’ve since used them for over 2 weeks now. Glad to discover for myself that the Coconut Oil & Ylang Ylang combi actually feels quite spa-like, and not overwhelming at all! 😊 . . With a brand philosophy that’s big on saving the planet, I was wondering what that really means? Each formulation is packed in 100% recycled bottles, so thanks to the recycled plastic, these bottles have a hint of colour but that’s no biggie. BUT, another claim piqued my curiosity further 🔸fast-rinse technology🔸 to help save water with every shower. That sounded kinda bombastic and I HAD to test it out. I was surprised that the conditioners did rinse off quickly although the formula list looked like a rich one 🙃 . . Speaking of ingredients, it’s also nice to know that these products contain organic and sustainable ingredients sourced fairly and globally. Working with fair trade partners, that helps with ethical sourcing and fair wages too. They are vegan and filled with plant-based ingredients, making it great for everyone! . . Their shampoos, conditioners and body wash also do without the nasties: paraben-free, no sulfate cleansers and dyes. Loving ourselves with a pampering treat and loving our planet 🌍 are easily done in the shower! . . 📌🛒Save 15% off with any 2 Love Beauty & Planet products & get a FREE tote bag when you shop at @redmartcom👍🏼 Range includes Body Lotion too. Prices from $10.90-$13.90. Sailor Moon fans and anime lovers, did you catch your fave popular characters at the pop-up event held at @313somerset? . . Just like @dblchin, seeing them reminded me of my secondary school days. Not forgetting, my sister @shootingstar18, who was into them back then too! 😆 . . These 3 ladies and I had an instant flashback to our childhood at the media preview. I also learned that @familystaysg and @vannytelly were devouring those comics when they were in school 🤣 If there ever is a contest on Sailor Moon, I know who to nominate! 😉 . . ✌🏼Thank you for the all-time favourite @gongchasgofficial BBT and kawaii photo moments, @smitten_pr @313somerset @lendlease 💖💖💖 🤜 🤛 Wanna get your hands on this cute Iron Man keychain? @dutchladysg . . 💪🏼The Avengers hero adventure continues! @dutchladysg UHT Milk fans can now try their luck at the claw machines at selected supermarkets! Simply spend $8 on Dutch Lady products for 1 chance to play and score sure-win prizes! This cute Iron Man keychain that I'm holding is one of the prizes available at the Dutch Lady in-store roadshow at @fairprice_xtra @fairpricesg @NEXshoppingmall from now till 21 Apr.
