Good luck! 💪🏼🍀 #THPperks 💐🌺Just tryna plant myself in this fairy garden 🌸🌼 • Everything was dainty and flowery, it was an instant girlie moment that I wished I could swop my jeans for a 👗🤣 OR maybe my sneakers for 👠 😆 T’was a gorgeous night celebrating @pixibeautysg’s #20yearsofglow! 🎉Congratulations on the milestone! The setup was perfectly 👌🏼on-point, plus all that dose of sparkly makeup was just too pweeetttttyyy! 😍😍 • Thank you for hanging out too, @celine_tan_ & for the postable 📸😆😉 🤓I've shared why myopia is close to my heart and why it is a growing concern for kids in Singapore - so many of you related to it 🙌 • Did you know that besides spectacles, there are now contact lenses for kids with myopia (shortsightedness)? MiSight® 1 Day is a type of 1-day disposable contact lens by CooperVision that helps manage children myopia. MiSight® is powered by the ActivControl® technology, where a special optical design that helps children see clearly while reducing their myopia progression and eyeball growth. Back in the days when I was a kid, all we had were glasses, and I only wore contact lenses when I was in my teens. Sight aids have definitely evolved! As these are disposable soft lenses, there's a lower risk of infection which is common with permanent lenses as cleaning them after every use takes discipline. #truestory • So, can all kids use MiSight®? Everyone's eyes are different, and in Singapore, it is imperative for contact lens users to undergo a consultation and assessment by a qualified optometrist prior to fitting. Yup, don't anyhowly buy contact lenses, yah? Simply contact @woptics to arrange for a 30-min assessment to understand if your child is suitable to be fitted with MiSight® dailies contact lenses. 📌Find out more: https://woptics.sg/contact-lens-for-kids/. Can you tell what's different about me? 😉 • HAHA some of you were entertained by my Cadbury brows which I posted before. Well, this is Cindy's transformation step 2 - cos step 1 was when I discovered lash extensions, but they're all gone now 🤣 SO... PRESENTING my new set of eyebrows by @carragheen, beautifully done up with ZERO PAIN (yes!), ZERO DOWNTIME (yasss!). I don't even look like 蜡笔小新 right after my brows were fixed! Know why? 👇 • Thanks to this brow enhancement option - Brow Henna (SGD$68) - a non-invasive service which uses Halal-certified plant-based pigments to create natural-looking brows. Shades are fully customisable, so my meticulous Brow Therapist, Maine, mixed 2 colours to create this special shade to match my hair colour & skin tone. The session includes a Brow Architecture, a marriage of science and art where Maine drew lines across my face to mark out my ideal brow measurements. As my original brows were sparse, light with a sharp arch, she asked if I'd like to follow my actual brow shape, or, would be opened to having brows that are less angled to balance my longish face shape. I took her advice in a jiffy cos I was worried abt looking surprised 24/7 🤣 Glad to leave the expert to do what she felt was best, and I'm really happy with the shape & colour! 😄👍 • 📌Very IMPORTANT verdict (VIV): I told K that my brows were FINALLY gonna see light & he kept teasing that I'd end up looking like Bert 🙄 I brushed his silliness away & came home with brows he'd never seen before since I've had bangs for the longest time. I’m so glad my discerning husband give them a PASS! YAY! 😂 • If you'd like to have perfectly shaped brows and save time on colouring them, Brow Henna does that. Especially helpful if you’re afraid of pain (like me!), or, if you're uncertain abt getting an eyebrow embroidery! Colour pigments will last up to 6 weeks on hair, and up to 2 weeks on the skin. • 🎄X'MAS PROMO🎄 • Select 1️⃣ Brow service (Brow Henna or Wow Brows) + 1️⃣ Eyelash Service (Eyelash Extensions or Keratin Lash Lift) to enjoy 40% OFF both services. From 15 Nov - 31 Dec only. DM @carragheen or call 6222 3376 to get your natural brows! If I were to stand beside a 👩🏻‍🍳, would I get to rub off some domestic goddess powers from her? 😆 • This multi-talented lady @daniellepeitagraham, recently showcased her range of kitchen tools (including a kid-friendly knife!) and whipped up some yummy & healthy Corn Fritters with Avocado Salsa for eager guests from her cookbook, On the Table At Home 😋 • I had a feel of her knives and they do feel very different from the regular ones I’ve at home 😂 Chefs need good tools too, right? Are you reading this, @h_shang? 😏 But honestly, her cookbook comes in handy for our family - it’s brimming with over 70 recipes of Chinese and Western dishes, with ingredients that are easily available at our local supermarkets/markets! Time to unleash & awaken #deekitchenexperimenter, right? I know I’ll need to cos Vera has already requested for snack boxes when she goes to P1 next year! 😛 I know the other mamas concur with this 😝 @missyqiqi @estellagoh @themishmashmess @sugar73 @fj.mama @swwongsharon 🙌🏼 Great hanging out that afternoon too! • Thank you for having me @daniellepeitagraham & @tottstore! It’s a perfect reminder and inspiration for me to get cooking and baking intentionally again 😉 • 📸: @swwongsharon I saw what you did there, Vera! 🤣 • With 2 kiddos who are special and different in their own ways, sometimes it’s hard to fathom what’s to come next. Having said that, as parents, K and I both have our ideas on how we want to parent our kids especially when it comes to instilling values & especially letting them understand that material things belong in ‘needs’ & ‘wants’. But it’s never easy trying to keep it going when it goes beyond our home. There will be people who question why we choose to do things differently versus what they’re usually attuned with. But, to each his own right? 🤔😣 • So when it comes to parenting your own kids, do you find it harder to convince yourself or others? I think the latter makes it very hard for me. Especially more so cos those questions are usually directed at me (izit cos I’m Mum?), so I look like the fussy parent 😔 Feels so misunderstood, and I’ve to deal with my fair share at home when things happen. I just have to be that bad guy and “speak up” cos if I don’t, the “consequences” (read: a sick kid, K grumbles abt the bursting storeroom and bunch of things the kids get & don’t need) are another thing to manage altogether 😕 • Sighpie. If I could choose, I would still pick the 4 core pillars I had in mind: Experience, Knowledge, Skills & Values. Gifts that can come in handy in these aspects have longer longevity especially with the memories for keeps. That, would be fonder and goes further than another toy, and that money was definitely well-spent. • PS: this post is not meant to challenge/offend anyone, cos we’re just sharing my family’s views, that’s all! ☺️
