MY 10 DAILY MUM HACKS


1. DON’T BUY MORE, SWAP MORE I came up with this one long before having kids LOl This is simply about nurturing, disciplining & decluttering. Daniel & I are religious when it comes to not buying new toys for our children often, we’ll do it like once in a blue moon. In our opinion, it encourages good habits for everyone;…

9 WAYS TO ENJOY VALENTINE’S DAY GLOWING SOLO


1. Forget Valentine’s Day Daniel & I have been together for almost half of our lives & we both agree that Valentine’s day is corrupted & overrated AF, we don’t celebrate it anymore. The social pressure it has on couples vs singles is quite toxic so we removed ourselves from that race. Self love shouldn’t be forgotten nor replaced by…

10 WAYS TO STRENGTHEN YOUR RELATIONSHIP


1. SPEND TIME APART You love each other more when you’re apart. I find it fosters communication & also allows room for building trust.

LUNAR NEW YEAR SUPERSTITIONS


1. CLEAN & TIDY All cleaning both outside & inside to be done before Tết. Cleaning your home on the actual day of Tết is a considered a no-no because you’ll also sweep away your luck & good fortune. 2. DON’T BREAK Avoid breaking anything.

A THING OF THE PAST, STRETCH MARKS


  BODY CONFIDENT I can finally say that my pregnancy stretch marks are now a thing of the past. It has faded so much, you can barely even notice it. I’ve only been using my usual body moisturiser & baby oil (vitamin E). I wasn’t that consistent with application so it was not a daily thing, but I guess I…

POSTPARTUM CHECKUP 🌑


SAME SAME, You think it’d be easier this second time around considering I’ve had experience. Unfortunately, it ain’t the same. Emotions & anxiety were at times beyond control & off the roof. This time it came in a little later for me; towards the 1 month mark. POST BABY BODY Leaking boobs, stretch marks that may be forever noticeable, loose skin…

WHY WE ARE MOVING


WE’VE JUST PURCHASED ANOTHER Feeling like this right now! In the same mood as when I was pregnant with Luna, we’re over the moon. We purchased our very first property back in 2014, our second in 2015 & now our third in 2021. Unlike the first two, this purchase is not for investment. It’s gonna be our home! We didn’t…
