If you have been following my series of Chinese New Year blog posts, you may have seen that I mentioned Spring cleaning. We have to clean the house before the New Year to wash away the bad luck and welcome good fortune into our home. There is one traditional that I still believe in which is we are not suppose to sweep/mop/clean the floor during Chinese New Year day as it will sweep away all the good fortune. So if you happen to drop/smash something, remember to say 歲歲平安 (Suì suì píng ān) immediately, which means “everlasting peace year after year”.
Greased Lightning Showroom Shine
Some of you might know that I love cleaning and those who had came to my house would have know that my house is immaculate. I am not joking. I can’t stand any dirt! My husband have to hover the sink to eat his snacks and my children have to use a bowl to contain any crumbs.
I also clean my car at least once a month inside out. I hate to wash my car during winter time. Not only it is cold outside, the outside tap water is freezing and it take longer time to clean the car properly as it is flirty.

A New Year, a new start of year! For Chinese, we are just about to start our New Year. As in my previous post, I had mentioned about the Lunar New Year. So before the New Year, all households will do a spring clean to wash away the bad luck and welcome good fortune to the house. According to Feng Shui, it is good to de-clutter your house to allow the good feng shui energy in your home.
We tend to involve the whole household and spend at least a whole day to clean up. From washing windows, doors, walls, oven, kitchen to every corner of the house.
Nano-b Anti-Bacterial toothbrush Follow Up
Three months ago, I wrote a review about Nano-b Anti-Bacterial toothbrush and this is my follow up. I used the Charcoal & Gold toothbrush for three months and now I am using the Silver toothbrush. The difference between Charcoal & Gold and the Silver toothbrushes is that Charcoal & Gold is great for anyone looking to whiten teeth and remove stains whilst the silver eliminates 99.9% of bacteria on the brush, and is their best bacteria fighter.
Nano-b Anti-Bacterial toothbrush
Recently, I mentioned about my teeth and gum problem. My teeth is quite stained from not looking after them properly since young. So I have been using whitening toothpaste. Also about a month ago, I took up a toothbrush challenge where I was sent a years supply of toothbrushes (1 toothbrush per 3 months) to blog about my reviews. This is my review so far after the first month and I will update again in two months time and then also after a year.
Draw, Wipe & Stick on Skribbies Shoes
Are your children bored of the same design on their shoes? Or do you have a child who simply loves to draw? Now Skribbies Shoes enable children to draw and stick stickers on them! They are a new and excellent product founded by young entrepreneur Jennifer Duthie. She was inspired by the fabric paints of the 90s and wanted to develop a product for kids that was more versatile and would allow kids to keep on customising.
Mr Muscle Touch Up Cleaner Event
Last week we were very busy and went to London for a mini break. While we were there, Anna Marikar (click here to read her event) kindly let me know about a Mr Muscle’s children’s cupcake decoration class. We were fortunate that there was a last minute drop out so we were able to attend!
Take part in the Hygiene Revolution
Recently, through a fellow blogger, I got to learn about Hygiene Revolution. The Hygiene Revolution has been borne out of the claims made by other brands in the hygiene/cleaning space. They believe that products containing Byotrol technology are the only products on the market that can kill and protect from unwanted germs for up to 24 hours.
I have been sent two products: Tesco Anti-Bacterial Multi-Purpose Cleaner and Boots Anti Viral Hand Foam. If you followed my blog, you should know I am house proud and I clean my house very regularly. I use all sorts of products to keep it clean.
Maid Simple Products Review
Cleaning has become one of my regular pastimes as a Stay At Home Mum. To be honest, I do love to clean my house as I am house proud. Over the years, I have tried so many big brand cleaning products and recently came across Maid Simple. Maid Simple is a family business that has been involved with cleaning products for over 20 years. I have received four cleaning products from them and this is what I think about their products.
Vanish Oxi Action and Oxi Action Crystal White
My mum has used Vanish for many years now so Vanish is a brand that has always stayed close to me. Each time I go back to Singapore, there will be a pink bottle sitting next to her washing machine. However, both our children suffer from eczema so we have steered clear of any fabric stain removal products or bio washing powders. That mean our clothings are looking dull, faded and full of stains.
Alma Win Orange Oil Cleaner
There are so many different cleaning products on the market. Are you getting confused with the chemicals used and how effective they are? Until today, I had not heard about Alma Win Orange Oil Cleaner. The company kindly gave me a bottle to try. It is an all-purpose cleaner and completely biodegradable. It is concentrated and comes in baby safe screw top cap with a flow control spout. The smell of orange is quite strong.
Organyc Baby Wipes
I have never felt the need to use baby/wet wipes until I had my children. There are so many brands of baby wipes to choose to choose from. Sometimes we just have to try the different brands to find the right wipes for us. I have to be honest that I had never see Organyc Baby Wipes before in my local supermarket. But they can be found on the Pravera website. Organyc Baby Wipes are made from 100% organic cotton infused with organic Chamomile and organic Calendula. With its mild formulation, the wipes can also be used on sensitive skin and the hands and face.
Children’s Junior Monte Bianco Toothbrush
Monte Bianco, an innovative yet simple style of toothbrush, is an ideal addition to your bathroom to keep it eco-friendly. It allows you to change your toothbrush every three months while reducing the amount of plastic you throw away.
Schatzii Screen Cleaner Review
I love the fact that Schatzii Screen Cleaner is an anti-bacterial cloth. It is small and light to put it in my handbag. Even though it is so small, the cloth is quite thick. One side is the micro-fibre and the other side is to polish the surface.
