Friday Favourites: gratitude, autumnal sunshine... and a whole lotta laundry
My life currently revolves around laundry. Laundry cycles have become my daily cycles. Gather the garments, load in, don’t forget to hear it beep! Load out, hang (often with a little helper)…. and heaven forbid you forget to bring it in overnight. Sorting is not really my forte (tricky for ADHD-inclined folks), so it all gets lumped in together… and we end up with laundry mountains everywhere.…
Mum Monday #2: the transition from 1 to 2 children
I’ve started writing a fair bit about parenting on this here blog. What started out as initially, would you believe, a place for my food reviews (lol) and things that made me happy (hence the name), then morphed into a beauty blog, sprinkled with travel and random musings. It’s been a number of years, y’all! But in this burgeoning series (which will hopefully keep me on the straight and narrow,…
How taking on more responsibility is the ultimate freedom
In this day and age (this is almost a ‘back in my day’ moment but this Millennial will continue), as Kim Kardashian West famously said, ‘nobody wants to work anymore’. I think it was also, ‘get your a$$ up and work’ but I digress. Basically, when it comes to work, we want to hack it. Automate it. Efficient-it. And boy, do we come up with creative ways to do this! Enter robots. (Jk, this is not…
Teaching kids how... when you don't know how
The old saying ‘fake it ’til you make it’ never quite rang true with me. Maybe it’s my standing as a bit of an ‘Honest Abe’ (too much for my own good sometimes!) but I could never quite get on board with faking who you’re meant to be. Hiding it was probably more my style, on reflection. Don’t get me wrong, I have been known to be a bit of a pro at the ol’ Mafia bluffing game (as well as poker, as…
Walking towards the light (in winter)
These days, I can only get my toddler to nap in the pram. We used to have such a solid schedule, oh my! I would drop off my older daughter, then my little one would fall asleep in the pram back like clockwork in the morning, and the afternoon would be a solid nap in the bedroom. Done and dusted. So predictable. Enter… toddlerhood! Ready to flip your world on its head, M*#&*#&(&#)!!! (Not that…
Mum Monday #1: MoPA (Museum of Play & Art), the children's museum to end them all
If you know-know, back in the day I used to make a weekly event of finishing up my extensive stash of beauty samples, known as Sample Sunday. It was a hoot, let me tell you! Being in Korea, where ‘service’ (complementary) items are the norm, especially in the high street beauty stores like Skinfood, Nature Republic et al., sometimes these samples would dwarf the actual item you purchased, both in…
The real-real on ageing as a 30-something woman
I think it’s wired in our brains to never quite believe we will age. Not really. Not like, grey hair, hunched back, cricked knees kinda ageing. So when all three of these things start to hit whilst you’re still (just) in your 30s, it gets pretty real, pretty quick. Of course, as women, we are under added pressure to try and maintain our looks/youth/beauty/all of the above. Hence the phenomenon…

Economically…
How to carve out "me time" as a SAHM
Years ago, our friends had a running joke about my need for “me time”. Yes, I was all over it! And to this day, I do still need it. Not that I get it, but I do crave it. Since then, I’ve learnt more about myself, and understand it’s probably a symptom of C-PTSD and emotional dysregulation… oops. And especially since becoming a mum, and a full time stay at home one at that, those precious moments…
The ADHD of it all
I usually start these posts with a title, and then lead on from there. When I say “usually,” I use the term very loosely, as I have not posted here in over a year. And before that, it was choppy! Still, I always find myself coming back to this here blog, whilst also questioning why I take these indefinite hiatuses on the reg (if the kids still say that, pretty sure they don’t). As I wrote on my…
My Recent Face Duo: I'm From Rice Toner and Cancer Council Face Day Wear Moisturiser
I like to think of myself as a pretty simple gal. Low maintenance is the name of my game (ideally… it doesn’t always pan out this way though). And when I find something I like, I tend to stick to it — like my latest two skincare favourites, the I’m From Rice Toner and Cancer Council’s Face Day Wear Moisturiser. This year we experienced an incredibly harsh, bitterly cold winter in Melbourne,…

Baby-friendly curly hair products
When I was pregnant with my first baby (who’s now a 3.5 year old… but how?!), I occasionally imagined what she’d look and be like. I knew I had no control over that, so didn’t turn my mind to it too much, but I did think she’d a) be a little firecracker (like me when I was younger — I was judging by the kicks), b) have brown eyes (beautiful ones at that) and c) have curly hair. Well, I got the…

Declutter Disaster (& How I'm Trying to Overcome My Inertia)

It just always seems to not only slip through my…

A Malaysian Dream: My Colonial Cafe Review
I’ve stumbled upon a hidden gem lately, and I feel it’s my public duty to share it with you. Firstly, it involves food (of course). Secondly, it involves possibly the best food in the world (did I just write that? Just going with my emotions here)… Malaysian cuisine. Omg… the food of Malaysia… sigh. The flavours! The passion! I’ve never seen such a divided country united over their unbridled…

Catching up
So… 3 years later, here we are! I’m back and hopefully for good. The past few years have been a whirlwind, a blur of nappies, feeds, pram walks, reparenting… you name it. I have so much to catch you guys up on, but I thought before I got overwhelmed with all the details, I would just… start. So here I am, starting! Arguably the hardest part (for me at least) to do, but the most powerful. See,…
