New diaper bag

Found this diaper bag and a matching bottle bag in an obscure baby shop in Sg Wang. All for RM40.

:)

Oh hi Spikey!!

Oops...can't help it. I bought another baby bag.. :) The little dino was beckoning to me. I had to make it mine...

Going green?

Reuse & recycle is the way to go la.

These are my favorite bags at the moment. My envirosax. The one on the right is mine. But since BigB refuses to carry it when we're out shopping, i had to buy a more "manly" one just so that he will carry my shopping *haih*




These bags are super convenient as it can be folded and i'll put them into my handbag before I go out. I only take it out when i buy stuff. It helps me to reduce the amount of plastic bags the shops gives me.

Folded

****************************

BigB's family likes to reuse mineral bottles to bring along water to drink when they drive. I don't really like it cos it's hazardous for health to reuse plastics over and over again to store your water and food. Most of these bottles contain bisphenol A (BPA), which leaches from the plastic even at room temperature and has been linked to chromosome damage and hormone disruption. In other words, it can cause cancer.

Plastic is everywhere, we definitely cannot avoid it fully but we can try to use alternatives if there are choices.

So I was damn happy when Bros came out with a stainless steel range. And this one only cost a fraction of SIGG's. Damn value! In my opinion, it's better than the SIGG bottles cos SIGG's mouth opening is so small, you can't even wash it properly. It must be quite difficult to wash since SIGG also sells the bottle brush separately.

SIGG. In case you don't know what i mean.

For the past two Sundays, we've been bringing Peanut to church. I know we're a bit behind, but better late than never, cos we're more prepared now. When she was younger, i was a bit apprehensive to bring her out, because yeah, useless me is a bit of a kan cheong queen and H1N1 was at its height too.

And so far...it's been good. No outbursts or loud crying. We can sit together with the congregation; and not in the baby room like pariahs hehe. Usually after church, we'll go and have lunch together, just the three of us, have coffee after and just roam around shopping malls after that.

Us at Austin Chase. Pretty good coffee I must say. Thumbs up!

Toffee & Hazelnut Lattes. Yums.

*************************************

Peanut also plays her part in reusing and recycling. By ignoring all the toys I bought her and shredding all the magazines into pieces instead for fun. Great stuff though, these magazines. Saves me lots of money lol

Caught in the act.

No idea what this face means.

********************************

It's 9:40pm and I'm dead tired. Is it because of the long commute to work? Stress at work? Or is it because I wake up once or twice each night just to feed her? Or is it a combination of all three. A working mum is a very tiring job, and there's no break at all, but it's all worth it when you come home to this:

Are studs in fashion or what?

I see clothes with studs almost everywhere, so when i spotted this harem looking tights with studs on it, it was instant love and I had to have it.

Say hello!

Online shopping

My life has been reduced to having to do my shopping online, cos shopping during the weekends are next to impossible. I have to sacrifice leaving Peanut at home if I were to go out, and between going out and staying home withPeanut, it's not a difficult choice to see which I would rather do.

Anyways...yeah, back to online shopping. *bows down to the internet* So far, touch wood, shopping online has been so simple and easy, and no items have been lost in transit to me, and all the e-shops that ive bought from are very reliable i.e. fast in responding, and packages are received in usually less than 3 days. And my packages come in all sizes. From a normal postal envelope to a big as a tv box.

Let's see what i've bought so far.

a) Nameplate Necklace


I love Ah Pui so much until I need to buy a necklace with her name on it for me to wear. So i can keep her close to my heart while I go to work *gloom*. I bought it from this website. It looks a bit dodgy when I first went there. It's not really a professional looking website isn't it? And it seems to cater to international markets hence the prices in pounds. But it's based in Penang, so I wrote to the email add on the website, and within a few hours someone responded to me. I just need to tell her the design code that I want, the name I want the necklace to be, and the length of the chain. She was very professional, and quick, and I received my necklace in just a few days. Wooho!

Next.

b) Baby Carrier

I'm crazy enough to purchase a baby carrier online without first testing it out. But I was doing my confinement when i bought this, and confinement makes you do crazy things. And I was itching to go shopping.

*Snore*

I bought it from here. Delivery was free for purchases above RM200 and it looks good enough online and it wasn't expensive (for a baby carrier). And we need it so it was a no-brainer. This one lagi best. It took only a day for it to reach me. Cool bananas or what?

c) Bag inserts

I bought it here .

I did not buy any diaper bag cos I have lots of big bags which i can use as one. And who needs a diaper bag when you have this?!! All you have to do is to just insert the above into any big bags that you have and ta-dahhh! You have a diaper bag!

Peanut's stuff

This bag insert is pretty nifty. There are many compartments where you can put your diapers, pacifiers bla bla bla and at the sides, there are two compartments where you can put your milk bottles and thermos! And if you wanna use a different bag, you just lift the whole thing up and just transfer the whole thing! Easy peasy. I also use it for work, cos my work bag is pretty soft i.e can't stand up by itself so when i put this inside, my bag can be upright without flopping down. And i can find my stuff easily without having to dig through the whole bag.

d) Cloth diapers

Ah Pui / Peanut modelling it here

I was quite fascinated with cloth diapers because of its cute designs and practicality. They're not cheap leh, a good one will cost around RM75 to RM90 a piece and you probably need around 12 to fully cloth diapered your kiddo 24/7 . Not really sure whether I should invest in a whole range of cloth diapers for Peanut, I decided to test test the water and buy 2 from this website. The coolababy range is cheap and for someone who's not sure whether to go into this whole cloth diaper thingy, I think this is a good start. And so far, I like it. Pretty good quality stuff. And Peanut is comfy in it too.

e) Babywearing Pouch

That's not me and Peanut by the way. It's a pic i took off its website.

Again, I'm easily influenced by blogs, and I saw this lady praising it and she bought it from here. This shop is based in Singapore but since most of the online shops in KL don't have the designs I like, no choice lor have to buy it from there. I had it delivered to my really nice colleague in our Singapore office, and she passed it to my boss who then brought it back for me. Quite troublesome, but when you gotta have it, you gotta have it! But i doubt i'll do it again because of its impracticality. Though this shop does deliver to KL, I don't really think my package will arrive safely using normal post, and having it couriered to me is quite expensive. Not worth it.

I was so happy when i received it keke but at the same time a bit worried whether Peanut will like it or not, so I tried it on just now.

You think she likes it?

I think she does!! :)

Very easy to wear and can wear it in 3 ways. And i have my hands free once Peanut is in it which means i can do other stuff too!

I just realised all the things I've bought are for Peanut. I've yet to buy clothes for myself online yet. It's a bit risky isn't it? It might not fit me cos you know how some of these clothes are really small even though it doesn' look like it is online. So um...not yet.

But ALL HAIL THE INTERNET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! for making life a tad easier for me!

*yawn*

Last Saturday, i went out with BigB to do a bit of shopping. It's nice to be out and do normal stuff. Cos frankly being cooped up at home everyday is giving me the blues!! I wonder how those housewives do it everyday, really respect man!

In case you're wondering, i'm still up most nights, and getting my shut eye in the morning instead. I'm kinda used to it already so no problemo.

This is how she sleeps every night. It's disco night every nite "Put your hands up in the air!!"

Hi Mei Li Jie Jie!!!!! I miss you!!

Peanut going green. Save the earth peeps! and eat your vegies!

Anyway, I bought this the other day:

Smaller than my eclipse mints.

This tiny little thingy(Make Up Forever Eye Seal) cost me RM90 wtf. I bought this because i read an online review on it. Some gal blogged about it la. Seriously i dunno why i'm so easily persuaded. If someone say it's good on their blog, there's a 90% chance that i'll go out the next day and buy it. Provided i can afford it la.

Anyway, this Eye Seal is supposed to make your eye make up last and last and last..and the good thing is that now i can use a pencil eyeliner or eyeshadow as my eyeliner! previously, if i used any of the above without the eye seal, i'll be all panda eyed in the next 2 hours. Why my eyelids secretes so much oil man. For the pencil eyeliner, you just need to dab dab a bit on your eyes after you've drawn your eyes. As for the eyeshadows, you just need to mix it up with the liquid first and then draw as usual on your eyes.

Anyway, i tried it out today and it works! Rm90 or not, it's a good buy cos I hate getting my eye make up smudged . And at least all my eye shadows won't go to waste. Can turn all into eyeliners! *beams in happiness*.

And the Sales Assistants there are super nice and not pushy at all lor! I I ended up buying foundation from there as well even though I initially wanted to get it at Clinique. And they also trimmed my eyebrows for free. Gosh, this is turning into such a bimbo post isn't it?? Bye!!
