Ms C in Vertbaudet Autumn/Winter Dress
I still remember this time last year, we went to Manchester to do an Autumn/Winter commercial shoot for Vertbaudet. If you missed it, watch Ms C here. I am so pleased to get a dress from their new catalogue to review. This gorgeous pink dress is reversible – it’s like getting two dresses for the price of one!
My Kingfisher Fashion Blogger Challenge
Each month Kingfisher Shopping Centre sets a local fashion blogger a challenge where they have to buy a Spring/Summer outfit from the Kingfisher Shopping Centre for £50.00 or less. I am really happy to have been selected to do this challenge. I have not done an adult fashion blog on my blog before and this is a great treat for myself and let my readers to know more about me.
My DIY Turnip for Lichfield Mandarin Club
Yesterday was our last lesson for our Lichfield Mandarin Club and we held an end of term party with food and performances from the children. After nine months of hard work, our children are able to speak Mandarin. They are still working on their writing but still we are very proud of their improvement.
After food, we had a performance by the children where we each performed an act. A few weeks ago, I was asked to make a turnip. I was thinking buying cream and green cloth for the act. In the end, I just found whatever I could around the house to make a turnip.
Me and my Bubbaroo Joey Swag
Many parents will have heard about Sudden Infants Death Syndrome (SIDS). To reduce the risk, babies should sleep with their face uncovered (no duvets, doonas, pillows, lambs wool, bumpers or soft toys). Personally, I think having a baby in the sleeping bag will reduce the risk. Hence, Mr K has been using his sleeping bag since he was three months old and even now he is still loves to wear his sleeping bag. Sleeping in a sleeping bag makes him feel very secure and keeps him warm at all times. He’ll wear his sleeping bag through all seasons and we can only prise it off him during the hottest summer evenings (read: rarely!).
It is only recently I came across Bubbaroo through Twitter. Bubbaroo was born when founder Nicole Casey decided to design her own range of functional and stylish sleepwear after trying to find a suitable product to swaddle her first child Jacob. Currently Bubbaroo’s range includes the Joey Pouch Swaddling Bag, Joey Swag Sleep Bag Range, Bubbaroo Blankie, Joey Plush Toy and Baby Face washers.
Ms C doing her catwalk with Sprogs Inc
Sprogs Inc is a new online children’s boutique company launched officially in May 2013. They offer clothes, shoes, toys and gifts for children aged 0 to 8 years. They stock British, European and American brands and produce their own label clothes too. Ms C loved doing her catwalk in her heels and showing off her new clothing from Sprogs Inc (Capsule Mix and Match Set – Four Pieces).
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.
My new sculpture body with speedo
Every half term, my husband and I like to bring both our children to the local swimming baths for a family fun swim. It is usually my husband who accompanies them in the water while I sit in the viewing gallery. I am embarrassed to put on my swimming costume since I put on three dress sizes after my first pregnancy. I have never been happy with my body since, and research shows that 79% of women say that don’t know of a female who is happy with her body.
Spitter Spatter Cloth Review
Recently, I was contacted to review some children’s clothing that combats germs. I was excited to read the email from Angela, CEO and co-founder, where she explained how it works. I always worry for the children and make sure they all wear long sleeves or jacket to protect them from dirts. I realise I maybe over-protective sometimes but this is a natural instinct for all parents.

Today, I had a busy day. After attending Mr K’s parent-only school meeting, I had to rush back to pick Mr K and Ms C up for a casting for Vertbaudet at Alan Sharman’s agency.
