Every time I shop, I shop for my “Capsule Wardrobe”, and my definition of that is a wardrobe that is filled with timeless pieces I can wear season after season, be layered in colder temperatures or be worn alone when summer comes around again. That sounds like a simple task, to shop for timeless pieces Continue Reading
Typing this title made me rethink what I was going to share… I mean, the books I am about to share are good from 0 months, because I usually encourage parents to start reading to babies before they become too mobile as they can they crawl away from the reading session. 🤪 My baby Brooks Continue Reading

Being a teacher was the best preparation for this job as a Mother: I Continue Reading
Motherhood wisdom gained from the last 4 years of momming
I have only joined the “Bleached hair” gang about two years ago, and I never knew how to deal with the dryness and split ends after a couple months of “looking really good”.I would go back to my hairdresser and have tbem fix it, either with expensive treatments or putting colour over it again, which Continue Reading
You know you will lose sleep, and you probably know you will be tired, but there are things no one tells you about having a newborn in your care: other than eating, they pee and poo too They will cry cry and cry and won’t reward you with a real smile until around 2 months Continue Reading
For those of you who don’t know, there are “private hospitals” and “public hospitals” in Hong Kong. Just don’t put down a deposit for the Public hospital. That is the biggest motivation to go Public. Once I committed myself physical and mentally to the Public Health Care system, I started noticing all the good things Continue Reading
apps that got me through the first years of motherhood
When you are out with a talented friend, you make really good use of her and make her help you take some ootd shots. (Psssst…. you can find her work via her instagram handle @ezzentrictwee) No matter what it is in parenthood you are struggling through, just don’t compare yourself with others, be it other Continue Reading
You’d think you would know everything you need to know the second time around, but pregnancy is a funny thing. Much like motherhood/parenthood. You really don’t know which mix of hormone cocktail you will get, which literally changes most if not all pregnancy symptoms. The difference between the first pregnancy and second pregnancy is so Continue Reading

Prepping for baby #2 means digging out everything we hadn’t given away or sold and reusing as much as we can 😆 But honestly though, there are a few things we need to buy, like a proper bottle sterilizer Continue Reading
It was our absolute honour to experience a 5-day all-inclusive family vacation at the Club Med Bali as a family of three! When I say all-inclusive, I mean, a premium hotel room, all three meals every day, activities and drinks (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic)! EVERYONE there is super friendly — to us, to the kids.

The best part about being pregnant is not having to watch how much you eat…. although we can’t forget to watch WHAT we eat to make sure we are getting all the nutrients for our baby and our changing body. I have to admit I am pretty bad with my diet because I love life Continue Reading
It was time.
Like most Canadian kids, I got braces when I was around 14 years old – those very traditional braces with the silver wires and everything. Other than the pain, the ugliness, the purées after each tightening appointment (if you know you know), they did what they promised and were effective at that. They usually don’t Continue Reading

I really can’t say it was my favourite book of last year, because I am still working my way through it and gaining from it as we speak, standing in the year 2021. If you were looking for a page turner, this one is not for you. I was kind of in the middle of Continue Reading
