    My Baby’s First “Bullying” Experience

    My Baby’s First “Bullying” Experience

    I couldn’t sleep last night. 😢 My emotions were a cocktail of anger, guilt and frustration over what my helper shared with me. Over the course of the Lunar New Year, we brought baby David to visit family and friends. David (to me) is really the best baby ever! ❤️👶🏻 He always makes me feel […]

    That day, I felt like such a bad mum

    It was a really, really bad day. 😢 So many things around me weren’t working out – just totally beyond my control sort of things. And for quite a while now, I’ve been feeling crazy frustrated!! 😫😫 Really doesn’t help that I cannot go out for a full day with a friend to chill (because […]

    Want to understand yourself better? Ask yourself this question.

    I wasn’t expecting to be asked that question. I was asked to pick between 1-21 to choose a random question to be asked, and I chose 17. (Because I was born on the 17th 😉) “Who is the one person, dead or alive, that you’d like to talk to and what question would you ask […]

    The Day a Monster Boss Gave Me an “Almost” Stroke

    The Day a Monster Boss Gave Me an “Almost” Stroke

    How can you “almost” have a stroke?Well, according to the doctor, I was very close to a stroke. And apparently my body did me a favour by inducing a panic attack as a defensive mechanism. (Thank you?) It seems if you don’t give your mind and body time to heal – they choose the time […]

    Enough with the mom guilt, please!

    One of the most common advices I received from other moms during the early weeks of my pregnancy was, “Filter everything you hear.” 🙉🙉 I didn’t really grasp the need for this until the recent couple months when things really started to pile up and accumulate – and my little one hasn’t even entered our […]

    Pregnant and COVID Positive?

    It’s pure torture. 😖 Or at least it was for me… Some months back in my 2nd trimester I was tested COVID positive and it’s an experience I strongly do not recommend to anyone.

    Becoming a Parent: 5 Lessons I Picked Up from My Childhood

    It still feels hard to believe that soon I’m going to have my own kid – I’m still a kid! 😂 It freaks me out as much as it excites me that I’m going to be a mom soon. It’s really all for a simple reason – for the longest time, I’ve shuddered just thinking […]

    5 things when pregnant

    I’m really not going to lie – being pregnant hasn’t been easy-peasy for me. Sure, I love my baby. Sure, I’m so happy that God blessed me with this little miracle.

    Dear Son, When I Found Out I’m Pregnant with You…

    …I was totally shocked. Not a bad kind of shock though – but I was genuinely very surprised. Why? Well, my little angel, you came despite precautions mommy and daddy took, and health issues mommy had (I’ll leave the ‘precautions’ conversation to your daddy when you’re older 😋) But that doesn’t mean we didn’t want […]

    When you’re too nice, you get these monsters.

    These couple of months, I’ve had a whirlwind of things happen around me that simply took up too much mental energy, that I didn’t have any left to heal or even find help. 😔 Instead, I’ve just been feeling less than 50% myself lately and just making do. So, I took a step back to […]

    Electric toothbrush: Zenyum or Oral-B?

    NON-SPONSORED PRODUCT REVIEW For about 10 years now, I’ve been absolutely sold on electric toothbrushes.

    Since getting older, I’ve broken up with eyelash extensions (we still have the occasional affair when I go travelling though 😌) – and have been pretty committed to being kinder to my natural eyelashes.

    Joey D the Goldie: ALWAYS Hungry

You can practically take the boy home. I always knew Joey was a sucker for all things edible, regardless of delicious or not. But it was […]

    One of the most important and hardest things to do in life, is to be grateful. Grateful to others, yourself, circumstances – and most importantly, to life in itself. It isn’t always easy; especially when you’re someone as overly-independent as me. 😛 Someone who doesn’t like the idea of actually being reliant on anyone or anything else – […]

    “Baby girl, first – forgive yourself.” It’s easy when you’re an outsider to pass judgement, make entirely logical comments and expect the other person to finally see the light.

    The Monsters in Your Life

    I’m not going to lie to you – you will have monsters in your life. They’re going to seem big, they’re going to seem scary, without ethics or a conscience; some of them seem pure diabolical.
