Assalamualaikum and Olla everyone!

My family and I collected another medal and running experience, this time we joined Nivea Care Run. I think I mentioned earlier about this run. You can check out the write up here. My husband and I have been trying our very best to lead a good example for our kids. By joining run and activities like such, we hope that both of them would be more receptive towards adopting a healthy lifestyle. Which is why we decided to bring both of our kids along.

A week before the actual event date, we went to survey the area to see if the pavement is stroller friendly. I tend to bring a baby carrier (for adik) and let Sofea run together with us if the the pavement is bumby. However, during our “recce” session we saw that the road is good. Hence we decided to pack the double stroller so Sofea and adik can just jump on it if they are tired.

We woke up at 5am on that lovely Sunday and start preparing our kids like a ninja. Hahaha.. We try to be as early as possible as we dont want to miss the flag off. When we thought everything is within control………………….. and then, this happened

ASTUTE Clinic, Skincare and Facial Review

Assalamualaikum and Olla everyone!

I have always spent my money on make up, but ever since 5 years ago I change my focus and start investing for a good skincare instead. I noticed make up will enhance your look. However, to have the best look it start from a good skin. I dont have a good skin, those who have a porcelain skin you are very blessed! Because of this, I love to try out products that could help me to achieve a flawless, scar free skin that I always dream off.

After trying out many treatment including laser, chemical peeling and you name it lah.. dont know how many skincare I have tried. Couple of week ago, I went to consult Dr Jason from Astute Clinic. Talked to him about my skin history, the numerous skin prcedure/maintenance that I have gone trough and he actually gave a solid point. He told me why not tackle the root cause. As in regardless the number of laser I go for, but if I still have acne issue coming on and off, I will still have to go for treatment all the way. The goal is to have minimum acne, and then resulting to lesser visit for laser treatment.

He told me that I might be having hormonal imbalance also known as PCOS. My sister had it. I remember one of the previous dematologist I visited told me that my acne is due to hormonal imbalance. If you are having acne, I would suggest for you to consult a doctor and find out what is the root cause. As acne happen to many factors, it could be triggered due to food you consume, stress, enviroment factor and many more.

This is the main entrace of ASTUTE Clinic, located at Damansara City.

Lagi pula kalau ada anak yang tengah membesar, kita yang dewasa ni pun seronok ni kan pula budak-budak. Baru ni kami sekeluarga plan bawa anak kami pergi aquaria, sambil jalan sambil tambah ilmu. Macam biasa, illy akan kongsi pengalaman kami sekeluarga mana tau boleh bantu kalau korang pun planning nak pergi next time.

Kami beli ticket online kat wonderfly sebab ada discount. Kalau ikutkan dewasa RM49. Kami dapat harga RM38 banyak juga jimat. Tapi korang boleh search lagi website lain untuk tengok apa promo terbaik boleh compare. Kalau budak bawah 3 tahun free, and kalau warga emas above 60 tahun RM9. Harga RM49 dewasa untuk yang ada mykad. Kalau bawa kawan foreignners harga lain RM69 kalau tak silap illy.

Masa kami pergi tu dah tengah hari dalam pukul 2pm. Illy suggest pergi pagi atau pun weekdays. Sebab kami pergi ahad tengah hari memang waktu kemuncak ramai sangat orang. Better kalau anak kecik pergi time hari bekerja jadi less crowd. Tenang sikit.

MARVIS TOOTHPASTE FLAVOUR COLLECTION |Review|

Assalamualaikum and Olla everyone!

Today, I would like to share with you about the best toothpaste money could ever buy (in my opinion). I actually bought this MARVIS TOOTHPASTE couple of weeks ago because my friend Yuki was telling me, how good it is and she convinced me that I wont go back to the usual toothpaste once I tried it out. Gosh she have never been so true. LOL.. Hence, this write up came up. After all, I like to write and share about products that I personally tried and believe in.

Got it from KENS Apothecary, was walking around that day after my lunch outing with Yuki so we drop by at the shop. It is just beside Sephora at One Utama, if you are wondering. Went in the shop, check out the range. It come in two size, the small once 25ml mostlikely for travel usage and the 75ml the full size version.

Yuki had the full version. I dont want to go all in and pay nearly 3 digits for a full size toothpaste that I wont know if I am going to like or not. They also have like a gift sets. 3 units of the 25ml tube for RM55 or the one I got which is 7 units for RM87. Yuki suggested for me to get 3 tubes but after doing a rough calculation, might as well I add another rm30 to get 7 units. I make more sense to me. Sales rep was actually helpful she let us check out the smell of the samples and since I have low will power to finer things in life. I took it. Told her to wrap it.

Family Trip ke Terengganu

Assalamualaikum and Olla everyone!

How are you? Okay tak? Harap sihat and happy. Kenapa tulis sihat and happy? Yer la kalau sihat tapi jiwa kacau buat apa kan? haha.. Kali ni illy nak share pengalaman kami sekeluarga pergi jalan ke Terengganu. Sebenarnya trip ni sempena pergi kenduri pak cu illy punya anak sulung kenduri kahwin. Sambil tu kami jalan-jalan bawa anak makan angin sambil spend time dengan sedara mara. Dah lama tak pergi Terengganu sebenarnya, last sekali 6 tahun lepas. Banyak juga perubahan.

Kami bertolak malam, then singgah umah mak illy tidur pastu breakfast before gerak ke Terengganu. Thank you mak masakan kami nasi lemak dan lauk udang petai. Sedap. Sengaja pilih gerak malam, yer la jalan dengan budak ni bukan menda senang lagi pula roadtrip. Kalau gerak malam mainly dorang tidur jer dalam kereta. Kurang lah huru hara hahaha tengok tu ada teknik.

Esok pagi tu gerak, sampai kat RnR Maran singgah makan.Jumpa family belah ayah illy pula kat situ. Yes, I come from broken family. But I prefer to call it BIG family instead of broken. Such a negative word when it should not be that way. Jodoh, ajal, rezeki adalah ketentuan Tuhan and siapa lah kita nak question kan? Since my parents divorce masa i and my bro masih kecik, then have their own family, I have more mum and dad hahaha because of that I ada adik beradik ada set mak, set ayah. Dont you think that is BIG?

Ageless by Turning Back Time with Olay

Assalamualaikum and Olla everyone!

I am pretty convinced that you have heard about Olay. Well, it have been around since forever. In fact, it was introduced since 1952.  After being in the market for around 65 years, it says a lot about the brand. Around couple of weeks ago, I was invited to attend and event by Olay to understand further about the technology as well as what Olay offer to its users.

Scientist found out that while some are blessed with good genes, it does not mean that the rest cant achieved the same ageless effect. Basically, you dont need good genes to have younger looking skin. What matter the most is how you nurture or treat your skin.

Which is why Olay re-formulate their anti-aging collection which is the Regenerist (red tube), White Radiance (white tube) and Total Effects (gold and black tube). All of the range goes trough all kind of scientific test before they released it out to market. With all of the scientifically proven ingridients that can help you achieve younger looking skins after using it daily for 28 days.

Boost Balm, Super Awesome Make Up Primer

Assalamualaikum and Olla everyone!

It is not a secret on the two things I love the most, wearing make-up and trying my best to get a nourished skin it so that I could slow down aging. Today, I would like to share with you about Boost Balm. Have you heard about them? Well, everyone should. Simple because they are amazing!

It works as a skin barrier. Which means it will create an invisible mask that protects your skin from chemicals and environmental damage (sun, dust, dirt, and so on). So, all those unwanted things will stick on the mask, not on your skin. I like to use it as my make-up primer. It is advisable to use this skin barrier 2 minutes before your make up application. Product claimed to be able to make your make up long up to 10 hours. JAW DROP! I haven’t tried it for that long as I normally wear my make up for around 4 hours max. However, it is great to know that it could last that long. Handy for travelling or attending event as you don’t have to worry about your make up fading.

Carlo Rino Latest Collection Showcase Fashion Night Out Pavilion Elite

Assalamualaikum and Olla everyone!

I am simple person, atleast when it comes to bag. I like bags that are funtional, durable, with delightful design and most of all reasonably priced. Which is why I have a soft spot for Carlo Rino. They ticked all the boxes of my requirement. Recently, I was invited to check out the latest “Make A Wish” Collection that is specially curated for Autumn Winter 2017. The event was hosted at Pavilion part of the Fall into Autumn Acttivities and Promo by Pavilion.

Thanks to my friend Yuki for suggesting haha.. Because of that, I managed to arrived early. As I arrived, saw many booth. I have all the time to check them all out. Enjoyed two servings of Softsrve Mini, there is also Dolly Dim Sum booth, Juicee, Chir Chir Chicken among other booth. There is also a “Make Your Own T-Shirt Station” hosted by Pavilion Elite. I brought back a personalized t-shirt and found them very funky haha.

Pengalaman Road Trip ke Sekinchan |Restoran Seafood Halal Kuala Selangor - Restoran D'coral, Kuala Selangor|

Assalamualaikum and Olla everyone!

Korang pernah pergi Sekinchan tak? Illy first time pergi. Sebenarnya kan dalam Malaysia pun masih banyak tempat yang tak pernah pergi lagi. Ada masa weekend, why not pergi lagi pun kat Sekinchan ni just sejam setengah jer dari kl. Kebetulan aritu ada cerita kat family ws tu yang ajak family belah ayah sekali join alang – alang.

Kalau korang nak tidur kat sini pun boleh, tapi bagi illy balik hari pun takpa sebab main attraction dia sawah padi ni. Kalau nak cari kat google map atau waze boleh search Sekinchan Padi Field. On the way ke situ memang banyak kedai makan kiri – kanan jalan. Ada cendol durian, ada mee udang banjir dan macam – macam lagi illy nampak. Kalau nak balik hari illy suggest plan timing datang petang sikit. Supaya tak panas terik and biar banyak kedai dah buka. Lagi pun kalau nak dinner seafood kat kuala selangor ni jadi jarak masa nak tunggu ke dinner tu takda lah lama. Kat sini pun memang nak nikmati pemandangan sawah padi. Ada juga activity lain macam pergi visit museum padi, or pergi lawat Pantai Redang. Kami lalu jer la kat Pantai Redang tu tak turun kereta pun. Sebab….. hurm, macam mana nak cakap yer, mungkin masa kami pergi tu timing tak sesuai kot. Ni bukan pantai nak berenang tau.

Ni jenis pantai kawasan nelayan. Boleh bayang tak? Tempat process makanan laut, jadi bau seafood memang agak kuat. Sian anak illy, dah bawak baju berenang tapi tak dapat mandi pantai hahaha.. sorry yer, maafkan mummy tak tau pula pantai ni jenis tak boleh mandi. Nanti mummy, bawa gi pantai boleh mandi punya k?

Sampai jer kat sini, memang terpegun lah dengan pemandangan sawah padi. Husband illy terus minta tolong ambik gambar dia. Bukan main sengih.

LASEMD Lutronic Skin Laser Treatment Review |Aessence Clinic & Medispa|

Assalamualaikum and Olla everyone!

I have been to quite a number of laser and facial treatment in the effort to have the best skin condition. From all the session, I learned that laser and facial is more like a continous effort. It is like showering, you need to shower frequently on a schedule. You cant like go one time and expect everything will be magically great after that and it will last forever. You need to continue maintaining your skin condition. There are many types of laser treatment and each for different concern. There are CO2 Lasers, Erbium Lasers,Pulsed-Dye Lasers,Fractional Lasers and IPL (intense pulsed light). I would suggest for you to consult your doctor or even do some reading on which type of laser treatment that would be applicable for your concern the most.

It is very important to consult a professional when it comes to laser. In the hands of a highly trained, knowledgeable professional, laser resurfacing is a safe way to dramatically improve your skin’s appearance. In the hands of a poorly trained individual, lasers can be ineffective or even dangerous. My top tips for you, please choose a laser center based on an individual’s experience, training, and qualification.  Just like a car, if you give a good car to a skilled driver compare to a person who have very limited experience driving. I hope I get my point accross.

5 Healthy LunchBox Ideas

 

Assalamualaikum and Olla everyone!

If you are a parent like me, you know how packing lunches for your child can be somewhat challenging. But it doesn't have to be that way. Just ensure that you provide your child with a healthy balanced meal with essential components of nutrition. I have set myself a 5-day lunchbox challenge, and I am so pleased now to share some of my ideas with other parents and show you how easy, fun and delicious, healthy lunchboxes can be! I hope this somehow give you some ideas and encourage you to create more for your little munchkin's lunchboxes too! I had so much fun doing this, and I felt great to be able to provide nourishment and delicious meals that my child would enjoy!

Not only it helps me to save money (instead of continuing buying outside or processed food), it also gives me a sense of relief because I am in control of what goes into my child’s body. I want to ensure that she consumes much more nutrition that is greatly needed for her body so she can grow up healthy and strong.

Play-Doh’s Mini Chef is in the making!

Assalamualaikum and Olla everyone!

Kids are just playful and would spend as much time playing. I personally prefer my kids to play educational toys that will encourage their creativity and imagination and benefits their development process. This is why my husband and I chose Play-Doh. My husband is not the type of person who will approve any toys easily. He plays the strict parent role. Let me give you a glimpse of his parenting style. Our house is not allowed to switch on the TV unless it is weekend. ya.. That’s right. However, he has no issues with Play-Doh. I guess it is because Play-Doh is known as a teaching tool to develop kids’ communication skills, motor skills, sensory experience, and creativity.
