I just became the the type of mummy a lot of people hate. :(

*This post is written on 28th-29th  December, scheduled to post while I'm away on holiday~ :D

Heard complaints from some that they really dislike those mummies who post gazillion photos of their kids. I have become one of those. :( I spam photos of my baby girl everywhere! On instagram, on facebook, on blogspot. I take lots of shots and just post almost all on facebook even if they are super blur. :P

Pet peeves for most people but I just can't help it..
I just want to share it out even if no one comments on any of the photos or even if no one likes the photos..

One may ask why do I take so many photos when they all look the same? It's the same baby and the poses sometimes are the same.. so why so many photos??

I try to snap good photos but sometimes their reactions/expressions changes in split seconds and I just want to capture as much as possible just for a really good shot. Then I am lazy to filter out the bad ones so I just post them up. :P

This set of photos is taken recently.. The lighting is really good so I snapped a few photos until she saw me taking photos of her.. :P

She was looking out of the window, exploring with her sight. When she saw me taking photos of her she started blabbering in some baby language that I still can't tell what it means. This often happens. Sometimes she gives me kisses (make the muack sound) and sometimes she pouts or smiles at me. All these expressions are really dear to me.. because I know it wouldn't be long before she starts to grow up and suddenly becomes a teenager and thinks her mum is too uncool to share anything with

I will try to filter the photos (at least take out the blur ones) before posting next time. :P

Are you also one of us mummies who take too many photos? Or are you with those who just cannot stand mummies who post lots of photos of their babies? or a little bit of both? Share with me~ :)

I am bloging this from Taiwan~~

2 days and 2 nights here and I decide to blog a little cause I couldn't sleep after waking up by the little one.. she had a nightmare. .

Blogging this on my phone so the format may appear weird. :P

Weather is really cold here (12-14°) but it's getting warmer...

Fruitless trip so far cause I have not been to the temple I want to go to and also have not really gone crazy buying much things for myself. :(

Thus far I have mainly spent on :

● Food.

● Stuffs for our cutie pie (socks, mittens, birthday date bear).

● 5pairs of socks for myself to wear in 2014 (baby gym classes need it). NT100

● 2 mini rack/table for my work stuffs.

● 1 umbrella NT450 (overpriced but I needed it so yeah)

● 1 hair trim NT100 (under SGD5)

● Some lottery scratch cards (no luck this year so not going to buy anymore for this trip)

● 1 cute ducky headgear with scarf mitten thingy.

The husband got me a little pinky finger ring which I like. :D

Was a little upset at first cause trip couldn't be like what I hope it would be but after seeing someone's comment on a friend's Facebook status I feel guilty and then.. I am happier. :)

His status was something like he wants to be happier in 2014.

and his friend commented something like you do know that you are in control right.

You can choose to be happy or unhappy for everything. If I am going to let myself feel grouchy (probably also due to pms) for this trip, it's just going to ruin it further so I decide to be happy as much as possible..

● Not given the chance to shop? Well at least I kinda saved some money maybe there is a better thing waiting for me to purchase. :P

● Not eating the food I want? Well at least I get to eat hot food in this cold weather..

● Kids are too noisy? At least they are really excited for this holiday.

● Keep going back to hotel to rest? Well it's good for baby and myself to nap a little during the day. We do that on normal days so why not rest our busy day at the comfort of the hotel room?

● Bad skin throughout the trip? Maybe my skincare don't work that we'll In this weather but at least I know my skincare works fine for our weather in SG. :)

● Baby keep asking for her dad or grandparents? At least I don't have to carry her the whole trip. :P 11kg is not really light. :P

Happy go lucky. I believe if I change the way I feel I will be really lucky soons~ Hahas. Jiayous! Fighting!

By the way it's 2014 in approximate 18+ hours later, here's wishing everyone an enjoyable and awesome New Year!

Another scheduled post. :D

*This post is written on 29th December 12+AM, scheduled to post while I'm away on holiday~ :D

- Just want to blog cause it's 12.30pm and I'm still very excited about the trip.
My flight is in a few hours so I think I may not be sleeping... Will try to see if I can nap 2-3hrs after this post...


 
The other day (21st December) we (Hubby, myself and our cutie pie) were out at West Mall to run some errands and we chance upon a machine that we have not touched for a long while..

So I requested to use it..

And here's the end product~

So here I am.. typing this random entry cause I'm too excited again. :P How about you? Are you the type who can't sleep when you're excited for an event? or you never have any issue trying to fall asleep?

Sponsored Review : Mygenlife Beauty Collagen

Recently turned 25 and decide that it's really time to take good care of my skin (especially after giving birth, my skin condition changed). Skin becomes dull, slightly dry with lots of humongous pores. Obviously my usual skincare routine is not going to help with my new skin conditions.. So I thought I should try changing things from inside instead... I started taking beauty supplements.

I was on M brand collagen for a month and it worked okay, my skin condition improves a little. My only issue with that brand of collagen is that it's in powder form and I have to mix it with warm drink like hazelnut latte or Milo (tried cold drinks once and I really hate the taste). So now I'm trying out other brands to look for something suitable for me and my lifestyle.

This Christmas I am one of the lucky ones to receive a set of Mygenlife Drinks for review. Perks of being a blogger!

There are 5 different types of Mygenlife Drinks (Slimming, Detox, Beauty Collagen, Whitening and Bustful) each for different concerns and I got the Beauty Collagen Nectar. :)

Mygen Life Drinks is a brand new beauty supplement drink launching this December! Doesn't sound familiar to you? How about Ba Wang 霸王, ITOH Collagen (KEVIN老師 as its celebrity endorsement?), Royal Wind and Friven & Co? Yes, they are all under Hannah Holdings. :)

More about Beauty Collagen Nectar drink:
This product is formulated in the U.S.A and manufactured in Taiwan.
The drink uses an intensive formula to improve water binders which helps keep your skin supple, radiant and firm. Continuous replenished collagen levels + skin sufficiently hydrated = wrinkle-free, rosy and supple look. (Results may vary and if you're nursing, taking medication or have a medical condition, please consult a doctor before consuming this product).

Main Ingredients: 
Collagen ( fish, 12,000mg )
I have no idea what collagen does until recently, only knew that pig skin has it and mummy always say we have to eat it to have good skin. Now that I'm grown up enough to do my own reading up, let me try to explain in as simple terms as possible (from my understanding, could be wrong, don't take my word for it.)

Collagen is what makes our skin looking "full" thus making us look young. The good thing is our body produces collagen, however once we reach our 20s, the collagen produced by our body will drop and it continues to drop as time goes!

Green Tea
This is a rich in polyphenols that fight free radicals. The antioxidants present in Green Tea helps to slow down the aging process helping you look younger. (Literally copied from their box as I've not done much reading on Green Tea but we've all at some point read articles stating that green tea is beneficial for health right?)

Mangoesteen
“Queen of Fruits “ contains naturally occurring xanthones, antioxidants and many nutrients which are beneficial to your body and helps slow down the aging process. (ditto above : read Green Tea)

Optiberry
A unique blend of berries including blueberry, strawberry, cranberry bilberry, elderberry and raspberry to provide the maximum antioxidant for the whole body. What I know about berries? They are delicious and many describe them as Power fruit/Super fruit. When I was young I hated berries cause I always get the sour ones. Now that I'm older, I appreciate berries a lot more. Recently started taking cranberry juice for health benefits. :)

With so much collagen I'm kinda worried that it's going to have a fishy smell/taste but it's stated on the box as natural fruity flavour so I'm kinda looking forward to it.. Hope it doesn't disappoint.. :P

So here's to firm and supple skin! Cheers~

 

The drink has a sweet fruity scent which I quite like.
It feels like a thick fruit juice with a tinge of sour aftertaste. Somewhat like smooth blended berries?
I really like that it's really convenient, as in I don't have to mix it with any drinks and can just drink out of the bottle!

Mygenlife Beauty Collagen drink is available at Guardian outlets and Hannah Holding's Website at S$49.90 for a box.

Sample Siao.

These are the free samples I redeemed in the past 2 months...
I know I'm so crazy. :P
Some of them I paid for postage, some came with free postage but I think it's absolutely worth it! :D

Being a stay at home mum means I don't get to go out much to try things over the counter and having samples that I choose sent to my house, saves me time and energy~ Some of the items comes in retail sizes and it's really worth much more than the postage I paid!


Where to find a few hours writing reviews?
What I currently do is I try the product and then follow by writing a short review on SampleStore, once I've done all the items in a packet I will post the reviews here. :D Good strategy right? hahas.

There's usually 2-4 types of items in a pack. I go thru them quite fast sometimes depending on what kind of items and when can I use it.. :) Like skincare will take a while cause need to use a few times to see effect. Makeup is the easiest to review hahas but it's really rare to come across makeup samples. Hope to see more makeup samples. :p

Household stuffs are also fun for me to try because though I have been staying in my own house for a while I have not really tried different stuffs. Usually buys back the same brands as it's easier for my husband to buy them and no need to spend time thinking if this is better or that is cheaper... :)

Suddenly Beautiful?

 Please forgive me for the duckface, I haven done this for a long time luh~

So recently I get compliments that my skin looks awesome now.

Even get people asking me what did I consume, that causes my skin to look so good.

The answer?

My Note 3!

Okay since I lost my Note 2 (the last time I lost my phone was about 10years ago I think?),

my husband got me a new phone (installment).

and there's actually a function that allows me to take awesome selfies. :P

There's 5 levels that we can choose depending on how "strong" we want the effect to be, I usually only use 3 out of 5. :D level 5 is like plastic smooth you know.. really scary. lol.

See photos below for example of with (lvl 3) and without the beauty effect.

On the side note, I am currently taking collagen and yes I do find my skin have improved slightly overall as compared to previously but it's not so much that people will notice yet.. Maybe one day people will notice my skin change in real life.. but till then I shall only take selfies with my Note 3. :P
