School Holiday? Don't Fret! Bring your kids to BeerFest!

Hi Mummies,

Wondering what to do during June school holiday with your kids in Singapore? Kids are quite a handful! They are so energetic and active. Keeping up with them really drain you out! Spend time bonding with them rather than ipadding them! They became really aggressive and arrogant after a long period time clinging to ipad.

Its probably late than never. BeerFest2014

"Beerfest Asia since six years ago to raise the profile of the beer industry. Since then the festival has grown bigger each year with an increasing level of consumer interest and appreciation, and a wider range of business opportunities for trade. Beerfest Asia is the place to be if beer is your passion."

Well, I was at the BeerFest with one of my kids. Yes, I have 3 kids, so I separated them in different locations so I can have a breather. So I decided to bring only one kid who is my no. 2. He is 3 this year. And I bought him along to BeerFest. He is the bubbly one and easier to handle compared to my 7 year old and a 1 year girl. So BeerFest obviously is ideal for Beer drinkers who love beer. Which I don't. Hahaha. Yeah. I hate beer in fact. However, going there to embrace the fest of course. It was pretty fun. But we are not used to beer crowds.. hahaha... Yeah. We are pretty much over the beer booze. We preferred whiskey crowd. Yes. Ah Tas! Aircon, enjoy and sipping away whiskey. Not too loud and smelly. Yes, SMELLY LIKE F... People actually puked as many should know. Anyhow, there are many varieties of beers in beer fest (estamated 500 different beers as you can see the stamps above), we have tried a few and that's about it. However, we somehow love this "Früli Strawberry Beer (Belgium)". Yes Strawberry! Its pretty surprisingly awesome!! Everyone’s favourite strawberry beer. Not gasey and it doesn't choke up my throat! 

Back to my kids' activities, at BeerFest, they have Kids activities at Brewkids Playard (Only available on a Sunday, depending on their schedules) which is pretty cool. For age between 4-12, you can actually drop off your kids and off you go for your drinks! Remember to pick them up at 6pm.

Ironically, our group would rather stay put at the The Beam Suntory Whisky & Wine Experience with our kids. We didn't drop off our kids at the Brewkids Playard since they are only 3 years old. So we let them mingle with the whiskey crowds. It was a funny experience. As they enjoyed themselves being in the limelight with all the promo ladies. hahaha. Our kids are literally social butterflies. They managed to bring back some got nice freebies (cool sunglasses) and candies from the whisky ladies. As you will slowly figured why my little boy is really enjoying himself. Refer to the photos below. He is a happy boy. All the daddies are drooling and jealous. Hahha. Bring your kids along for freebies sake. :)

You love FREE PEOPLE apparels? Bohemian Fashion

Hi all,

I believe many of you have shopped with www.freepeople.com which is a UK brand for Bohemian fashion. Yes, I agreed, they have really pretty good bohemian sense. However, the pricing is ridiculously expensive. I love their clothes, I have a few. But somehow, not all of the products of good quality. However, from what I gathered from the website, its a good thing, they have reasonable return policy. Meaning, you can try to return your order, if you hate it.

Please note: I didn't personally try returning my stuff so I am not sure how easy it will or how difficult it will be. Do read their link for return policy.

Did you know?

In modern usage, the term "Bohemian" is applied to people who live unconventional, usually artistic, lives.
Reflecting on the fashion style of "boho-chic" in the early years of the 21st century, the Sunday Times thought it ironic that "fashionable girls wore ruffly floral skirts in the hope of looking bohemian, nomadic, spirited and non-bourgeois", whereas "gypsy girls themselves ... are sexy and delightful precisely because they do not give a hoot for fashion".^[1] By contrast, in the late 19th century and first half of the 20th, aspects of Bohemian fashion reflected the lifestyle itself.

So are you a Boho-chic? I admit, I like Bohemian style. It's a trending fashion yet not too loud in their very unique way.


Alternatively, you can try out this following web (http://www.treeoflife.com.au), they have pretty good sense of Bohemiam fashion too. I love their accessories thou! And their pricing is not like slapped in the face kind. Its very reasonable for Bohemian fashion lover! Australian brand. It seems that they don't ship to Singapore. However, you can swing by their shops if you happen to be travelling in Australia. Or you can go figure out looking for an agent who can ship the items to you.

Don't fret! Another recommendation.
A great shopping US website. http://www.boutiquetoyou.com - the-moment celebrity style and fashion. They are an online retailer who carries multi design labels. Great varieties. Beautiful designs.
I love their gypsy cover page thou. So romantically greek!  They offer internationally shipping.
So go ahead and shop away!Do note, they are not entirely bohemian style so you have varieties to select. Take it slow!

Happy shopping to all boho-chic!

Happy holiday to all kids!
Till I update.

Skorts or Shorts?

Hi all,

I am so in love with skorts. Pretty floral prints. It fits well in my daily activties.
The reason I love skorts mainly because its so casually pretty and its so practical for a mummy like me! I can be in skirt and and shorts in secs! Yes.

Recently, I have been tracking down many blogshops for lovely skorts. And I have found few beautiful pieces. Its definitely a keeper! The materials for these skorts are top quality excellent! It feels comfortable and 2 of the pieces are smooth materials. No colour run.

 Quality Cotton Material

The above 3 pieces are from MDS collections, there are other pieces but I didn't manage to grab it fast enough. I spotted them too late. Hopefully, they restock!

Few years back, Zara launched these brilliantly plain colour skorts as shown below and it was seriously selling hot! Everyone wants to own at least one of them. So crazy. And not long after, Qoo10.com.sg, started selling these skorts in different colours. Its selling like hot cakes too!

We used to have skorts two decades ago. But it was known as culottes. I didn't really like the designs. Some seem to have the impression of lingerie look alike? Especially those with laces along the hems. Just merely my personal point of view. However, for those with pear shaped figure, its not a good idea to wear culottes. It seems to widen your lower body.

The black and white floral prints skort is really a disappointment, the colour run like crazy! I soaked in vinegar for a night and it doesn't block the colour. And I have washed thrice, the colour still run! Apart from the color, its kinda loose for me. Blame myself for purchasing the bigger size.

Anyhow, if you are an active mummy, looking for practical ways to dress up, match up with any plain tops with these skorts, you definitely good to go. Its trendy and convenient.

Be a power mummy, keep up the trend with simplest ways and at affordable price!

Till I share again!
