Let’s be honest, it’s not like I don’t buy make-up removal wipes or creams or oils, it’s just that you tend to run out and you haven’t had time to restock- right mummies? So i’ve been going through this a few times because i hardly have time for myself these days and i thought, why not share my discovery.

So far I’ve tried 4 different wipes:

Fiffy Baby Wipes

Pureen Baby Wipes

Offspring Baby Wipes

Aeon Topvalu  Baby Wipes

I’ve tried all these wipes to remove my daily make-up and not all works great. So here’s a little review for each of the wipes and their ranking:

Being a mum, a working mum mind you, is not easy at all! Besides having to think about work, you go home only to start thinking and preparing things for your baby and then there’s the husband, the laundry, the cleaning… the list goes on and on. So when i was given the opportunity to try out Osta Salon & Spa located in Publika, Solaris Dutamas i was ecstatic because i really needed to get the tension out of my body and just have a moment to myself to relax.

Mummies! You deserve time for yourself!

My husband and i have always agreed that we need our ME time and time with our own friends. So it’s a mutual understanding which i think is really important in a marriage. In this day and age, a majority of couples in a marriage are both working and earning a living, which means that house chores should be equal, taking care of the kids should be equal and before i start to go in depth about equal rights, i’m going to stop myself here and continue with the purpose this post which is the Osta Salon & Spa.

Osta Salon and Spa is a female only spa catering to female clients who seek to escape from the hustle and bustle of hectic city life. While i was on the way to Publika, i received a call from Osta who would just like to check and remind me about the appointment. Which is great especially for someone who have so many things on their mind. The outlet is located on UG1 floor facing the main road. I was a bit confused on where to go, as I’m not that familiar with the area, and there was no clear signage of the Spa, which made me walk pass it in the beginning! LOL! Continue reading

Most women will tell you that they love going to the spa to get pampered and just relax without having to care about anything in the world (at least for those few minutesla). So when i was invited to experience CHILL by Swasana Spa located in Impiana KLCC Hotel, i was ready to escape from work for a relaxing experience…. or so i thought.

As i was taken through the experience i realized a few things which inspired me to write this post. Imagine all the things that the spa therapist have to endure when they perform our therapy- like washing your feet and massaging your head. This was not the first time that i’ve gone for a spa treatment, but it was the first time for when i’m not actually on holiday; so i may not have been as ready as i thought i was. So i learnt a few lessons in order to avoid future embarrassment and came up with a few questions that i think you should ask yourself before going for a spa session.

Am i wearing the right type of clothes?

When i got the invite, they mentioned to dress ‘comfortable’. So i wore a simple casual black dress- you know, something that you can easily put on and take off.. I assumed that i would need to dress down and change into their robe or something. But once i arrived, i was glad to know that i didn’t have to strip naked, because the treatment that they’re treating me focuses on the legs, arms, back, shoulders and head. The treatment focuses more on reflexology and acupressure.. Not sure if it was the Chill Out treatment or Chill Classic. Anyway, it was something that i desperately needed in order to release all the stress especially on my shoulders.. Plus it saves me all the hassle the change and bathe after.. Continue reading

In this day and age where Instagram plays a big role in our life, and likes and followers are all what people care about, it’s hard not to compare ourselves with others. But despite all the insecurities that it can provoke, social media has also given us a platform for self love and positive vibes, without taking into account the the size or shape of our bodies.

The body-positive movement is not about encouraging an unhealthy lifestyle of thin-shaming. It’s all about encouraging people to be more kind and forgiving towards their body with the goal of improving overall well-being and health be it physically or mentally. The main focus is about building self-esteem through improving one’s self image, be it by nurturing and maintaining one’s weight, working -out or changing a lifestyle for a better outlook in life while building more confidence in yourself. It’s all about supporting each other to better self-esteem and these body-positive advocates do just that.

Check out these fire-ry and fierce body-positive advocates and let them inspire you be it through fashion, quotes and overall self confidence.

Plus size women everywhere have been told what they can and cannot wear, what looks good on us and what doesn’t. On the other hand, body positive advocates are saying F**k that, we can wear anything (or nothing at all). So where does that leave us? Do we listen to these so called “experts” of the fashion industry or do we just wear whatever we want? Can we really wear whatever we want whenever we want?

Of course you can!! But whether it looks good on you or not, that’s a whole different story.

So, where do i stand in this issue? Continue reading
