Baby & Mum Promotions (Updated on 22 June)

(Abbott Nutrition & S-26 Progress Gold - Discount vouchers)

I was browsing the baby product aisle at FairPrice Finest at Seletar Mall yesterday, and took a few discount vouchers for Similac and S-26 milk formula. I thought it would be a nice thing to share with everyone here. The vouchers are easily available at the stores, just grab and present them at the cashier to enjoy the discounts. Happy shopping!

(Pediasure – New promo on 18 June 2016)

Do you have a picky eater at home? You are not alone. Many of us wonder and what exactly defines a picky eater? Let us find out. (“,)

Traits of a picky eater:
– eats very little
– accepts only a few types of food
– eats few fruits and vegetables
– refuses to try new food
– disrupts or prolongs meal times

To learn more on picky eating, visit the website www.pickyeating.com.sg

Studies have shown that picky eating persists in some children through 9 years of age. We all know that a child needs nutrients from different sources of food to support their overall growth and development. So, picky eating may increase the nutritional gap in a child’s diet. Such behaviour also affects and impairs cognitive development.

There are some things that parents can do to deal with a child’s picky eating. Setting a routine. Try to have meals at consistent intervals and stick to the schedule. Encourage everyone to sit by the dining table together, with the T.V. switched off. T.V. entertainments distracts and disrupts meal times. To make meal time enjoyable, start a simple topic with the child about the experiences of the day or what he would like to share with you. Hopefully, the child would look forward to meal times in future.

If your child likes to watch you do the cooking in the kitchen, why not get him or her involve in the process? My daughter, 5, loves to stand beside me on a stool, and offers to do simple tasks such as beating the eggs or stirring mixtures. She finds the process fun, and I have an assistant. A good deal!

Most importantly, make meal times enjoyable and forward-looking. Praise the child if he finishes the meal on time, or tries new food. Any negative remarks would discourage the child. Step-by-step adjustment is the key. Do not rush. If the child comments that his serving potion is too big, then, reduce it. Increase slowly, and monitor.

Meanwhile, parents may try giving the child Pediasure. It is complete with all the essential nutrients that are needed for a child’s growth and development. Read more about the product here. Pediasure is sold in tins and read-to-drink pack.

GSS 2016 is BACK ON @ Fairy Angel Shop (Babies & Toddlers Apparel) 70% OFF!!!

Fairy Angel Shop - An Online Store for Babies and Toddlers

Fairy Angel Shop carries mainly the brand"Mom&Bab". You may have heard of this brand before, besides the renowned ones like Oskosh and Carters. Mom&Bab has equally good material quality too. The store now is having its Great Singapore Sales 2016, where most of the items are going at 70% reduction in price. 

As a mother myself, I always could not resist the temptation to buy things, regardless of whether I need them or I do not. Haha! Yea, that's me. I end up carrying bags of loots home and being nagged at by my "Financial Controller" (my hubby).

To make your shopping at Fairy Angel Shop easier, I have hand-picked some items that I felt is really worth to purchase. Great time shopping and not burning a big hole in the pocket. Hee... trust me!

Bodysuits

Bodysuits! Who loves bodysuits here? Me! They make it hassle-free for diapers changing, isn't it? A box of 4 pieces of bodysuits is selling at only SGD $28.00. At stores such as Mothercare, Kiddy Palace, what price tag are we seeing? SGD $32-35!!! Do your Maths now, each piece is only at an amazing price of SGD $7.00. If you can help a lower price than this, please let me know... :X

Sleeveless Bodysuits

Living on a sunny island all-year-round and trying to keep little ones cool and fresh is a challenge for us. More often than not, we go for sleeveless clothing if we can. These 4 designs of sleeveless bodysuits, set of 3 pieces, selling at a massive discounted price of SGD $8.40 (U.P. SGD $28.00).

Value Set Dresses

One of my favourites - the value set dresses. The designs are sooo sweet, yet cooling, as the sleeves are either cap-styled, or none. Plus, the quality is really very good. Price is also AWESOME! Guess what? 2 piece pack selling at SGD $6.90 (U.P. SGD $23.00). I think these are gonna be hot-selling, and many sizes would be out of stock soon! Gotta add them to my shopping bag.

Fairy Angel Shop also carries graphic tees, like the Monster University, Transformers and Captain America. I thought the Transformers graphic tee with sparkly crystals is pretty cool. Hee... And just look at the price tag, so cheap! Awh....

Do you have enough of the sneak peek of the GSS Sale? Maybe, you should head straight to the official store www.fairyangelshop.com to browse through the other great offers! Have fun shopping!

Col 700 | Reviews | My Picks

Had a great time shopping on 2nd June? I hope you had!

Let's see what is in store under Collection 700. We have the work dresses, summer style tops, sleeveless shift dress, embroidered dress, basic tops and the all-time favourites skater dress. For colors, this collection is still focusing on mainly solid, solemn colors for work wear, and light pastel ones for casual attire. To make the designs stand out, you might have notice that the designers put in more effort on the sleeves pattern - flounce sleeves, capped sleeves, and so on.

As soon as the collection was launched, some designs were sold out on the same day. I do not list out all the OOS designs, only selected ones. Most of the OOS designs belong to the casual wear, light colored category. In fact, the series of casual wear this time round is quite... pleasing, I should say. Simple and sleek, not too much fancy prints. I belong to the minimalist group. Anything that flaunts or too fanciful is definitely out of the way for me.

Anyway, didn't manage to lay your hands on these OOS items? Well, let's hope there are back orders for them soon (pray!).

I am pretty surprise that the all-time favourites skater dress and panel dress in block colors did not make a big hit in this collection. I thought the cap-sleeved skater dress would sort of catch the eyes of many and be sold out within the a day. Same goes for the panel dress on the right. A simple dress for work is always nice to have in the wardrobe. Perhaps, it signals that it is the time to make a change in style to our wardrobes. Yeah!

So, after having said so much, which is your favourite piece in this collection, or other collections? Do share with me, as I would be delighted to hear your views too!

Lowest Price in Town – Decathlon Mega Store

Why Decathlon?

Everyone loves outdoor activities and sports, but sporting goods do not come cheap very often. Unless there is a sale going on at stores such as Royal Sporting House, World of Sports, and so on. Finally, Decathlon is here in Singapore!

It is exciting, as it is the ultimate mega store that sports lovers have to patronise. Whichever sports you are active in - swimming, hiking, horse-riding, running, skating, golf, cycling... you name it, Decathlon has it. Absoutely true! Its selection is so wide that you would need some amount of time to shop around. You can't help but to take a trolley around with you, because you would be busying throwing in stuff.

Lowest price, widest selection?

Imagine, for a piece of swimwear you see at sports store, it goes up to SGD $119.00. After discount is SGD $75.00. At Decathlon, you can get a men's swimwear as low as $6.90 (E.g. NABAIJI B-Active Swim Boxers), and women's swimwear at $6.90 (NABAIJI LEONY WOMENS SWIMSUIT SKIRTED BLUE)! Too good to be true? Wait till you are there at the store personally to witness the price yourself.

My family and myself went to the store and came out with 4 pieces of goods, all only at SGD $75.60. Our loots! Boardshorts ($10.90) and swimwear ($10.90) for my husband, 18m baby NABAIJI Kloupi Girls' Legsuit ($39.90) and skirt swimwear ($13.90) for myself.






While waiting for my husband to complete the payment, I stumbled on kids sunglasses. These 2 seem good (aged 3to 6)... I only have 2 girls, so am only looking at pink or pastel colors... there are selections for boys too...

ORAO Junior Beauty 3-6 Cat 4 - SGD $19.90

The flower print on the glasses is sweet, looks good on girls, yet offering a good protection to the eyes. (Click on the picture to go to the page)

ORAO Mitsy Junior Pink - SGD $28.90

This pink pair of sunglasses looks cool. There is a little cartoon character on it too. (Click on the picture to go to the page)

We could have gotten more but due to time constraint, we headed for home instead. But, we will be back again to hunt for kids sunglasses, inline skates and so much more!


Where to go?

Currently, there are 2 outlets in Singapore.
Outlet #1: 750A Chai Chee Technopark, Bedok (nearest MRT - Kembangan)
Outlet #2: City Square Mall , 180 Kitchener Road (nearest MRT - Farrer Park)

Do walk in to take a peep. You would be amazed!

Alright, this is my honest review of Decathlon for now. I would update with more good deals again.Thank you for visiting my blog.

Kids Activities – Ice Skating

With an increasingly change of climate, from warm to hot to even hotter weather, it is advisable for us to stay indoors.For kids who love outdoor, getting them to stay indoor is a boredom. However, kids need to play and sweat it out. Water playground seem a good thing, but some parents worry that kids would catch a cold from water play under the scorching sun. So, is there an activity that is indoor, air-conditioned, fun and exciting, and enables kids to workout?

The answer is... YES! Ice Skating!

Wondering what this sport is all about? Read on to find out more. (",)

Where can we skate in Singapore?

There are only 2 rinks in Singapore - Jcube (The Rink)

and Kallang Leisure Park (Kallang Ice World).

The Rink is located at level 3 of JCube, nearing Jurong East MRT Station, and Kallang Ice World is located at 5 Stadium Walk.  The Rink is the one and only Olympic-sized skating rink, measuring 30m x 60m. Before you head to the rink at Jcube, if you prefer to go there, do check the schedule and calendar of events for public skating to avoid making a wasted trip. Click here for the public skating session schedule. If Kallang Ice World is nearer, do make a call to 6348 1123 to ensure that the rink is available for public skating.

What are the admission charges?

Below is a screen shot of the public rates of The Rink.

Do note that each skating session is only 2 hours, and subjected to additional charges for subsequent 30 minutes.

Online booking is available too.

For Kallang Ice World, I manage to get a glimpse of the rates.

What is the appropriate attire to go skating?

What you see on T.V. and YouTube are professional figure skaters, dressed in fancy costumes for competitions or exhibitions. The skimpy-looking costumes worn are aim to create the impression that the moves executed by the skaters are effortlessly done. And of course, the costumes are worn to suit the theme of the program skated.

For newbies who are completely new to ice skating, wear comfortable layered clothing to keep yourself warm. For bottoms, wear long pants/jeans to keep warm as well as to protect against falls. Prepare and bring along your own gloves and socks and/or skates (if you own one). Long, thick, cushioned socks are preferred to minimise the chances of blistering and friction of the boots.

If my kid wishes to take on courses, what are the charges and course outline?

Don't be surprise if your child comes up to you and tell you that he or she wants to learn skating. It is such an enjoyable sport that is worth taking up. I took some basic lessons in my teenage years and adulthood, and still is very passionate about it.

When you are unsure of whether your child would sustain the interest, try it out by enrolling him or her in a basic course. For younger kids (3 to 6), go for the "Kids Learn-to-skate" program, and slowing moving up the ladder. It is conducted every Tuesday 3-3:30 p.m. Currently for June 2016, the intake schedule is as shown

For basic skating, usually it teaches
- basic safety
- how to fall down and get up safely
- basic forward swizzles
- skating forward in proper posture and balance

Are there any official organisations in Singapore for competitive ice skating?

Singapore Ice Skating Association is the official platform in recognition and support of the sport. The site outlines all the happenings and events both in Singapore and overseas. We have also our very own national team for figure skating and Short Track Speed Skating. Click on the hyperlink to read more.

As much as I love to go on and on with ice skating related topics, it would be even better if you visit the rink with your family to experience the fun and excitement of skating on the ice. I hope you enjoy yourself and find this post informative.

Dressabelle

Pretty with Dressabelle

A woman's attire very much depicts her dress sense. We rely on our personal image to create the so-called "first impression" to clinch the top job, or to impress someone. But, with the rising costs of living (not salary), we often find ourselves stucked with the limited choices in the wardrobe. Fred not! We have the saviour - Online boutiques! Handful of them!

People, especially Singaporeans, love cheap and good things. I am one of them. I am sure you are as well. (Hi-5!) I used to be an employed white-collared (not anymore now), and loved to patronise departmental stores for OL attire. Oh my... they were very pleasing to the eyes, but the $$ price tags were even more "pleasing". You get what I mean. So, I turned to shopping for my office wear online. Who says online stuff is not good and is also expensive? Prove them wrong!

Okay, time to stuff you with one of my favourite online boutiques.

Dressabelle

Dressabelle is one of my favourite online boutique. Not only does the store offers a wide selection of outfits, from formal to casual to bridal. You name it, they have it. The clothing is so appealing that you would not believe that they can be very, very affordable (ranging from SGD $10 - SGD 40). They even have alteration services, which I think, is great! Women comes in all shapes and sizes, so alteration to our clothing to ensure that they fit is important.

I have made several purchases with Dressabelle for some years now, and so far, is satisfied with their service and quality of clothing. In terms of payment methods, they have a wide range.

Dressabelle also offers international shipping, and free courier for purchases above SGD $60.00.

Dressabelle work wear

The workwear collection is often sleek and clean design. Block colors, solid colors, shift dress, flare dress, printed dress. Simple yet suitable for any work occasions.

Casual wear collection is also popular. As you can see from the above pictures, the styles of the clothing is more inclined to one-piece, and solid colors. Its floral printed dresses are also well-liked by ladies, as they potray a more gentle and softer side of the collection.

Shopping with Dressabelle can be quite addictive, I must admit. Simply because the dresses, tops and bottoms are so pretty. The colors (pastel or solid) and designs are so attractive that I could not help but to just "add to cart". Yes, only at the end of the day then I realise that my cart is so full... and I have to slowly scrutinize to remove some of the items. Love-hate feeling huh...

Well, shopping is a retail therapy that works on almost all women. If you think you need a wardrobe revamp, why not try Dressabelle? Perhaps, you might be in for a greater surprise.

Enjoy shopping!
