Ninja Warrior Cheongsam

Dear Mummies,

Yes, I named it "Ninja Warrior Cheongsam". It's the feminine ninja sort of version. It exudes power, loves and confidence of a lady. Especially a mummy who requires great amount of stamina to continue every single day! I personally require a nice outfit to brighten up my day! This dress is like my warrior suit, I can charge around freely amid my hectic daily schedules. Every mummy is like a modern female warrior who equipped herself to protect her empire A.K.A kids.


Back to my cheongsam craze again, I love it even more! Cheongsam is no longer outdated, in fact, it's fashionable and trendy! If you realised, its amazing how the designs of cheongsam evolves to what it is now. 

Anyhow, I recently purchased a few lovely pieces and absolutely with no regrets. It just falls nicely on me. The material is so soft and comfy. These awesome dresses are from Lark and Peony. They are always working their best. Doing their best to launch the perfect pieces without fail. The owner/designer, Junie, of Lark and Peony is a pretty and chic babe who is very friendly as well. Do feel free to enquire if you have queries.

What so special about this NINJA CHEONGSAM? 

I am crazy with those lovely prints that are nicely matched to the dresses. The uniqueness of those prints on the collar and belt of each dress really a piece of art. You can fold down the collar to show off the prints or just lift the collar up and pair it with the vibrant belt for a sophisticated look. It's not overly done, true to colour, position of prints are aligned (meaning, you see what you get from purchasing online), its threading is neat and the belt is the key to accenturate a beautiful silhouette. I mean I may not be an artist by profession, however, I do have an eye for arty-farty stuff. 

Referring to the dress in following picture, they come in few colours such as black, navy, royal blue, beige and purple. I regretted not getting "The Princess in Aubergine" as I thought purple won't suit my skin tone, but I guess I am wrong. Haha. Well, its too late now. It's no longer in stock. So I should just go sob in a corner. 

In a nutshell, I almost bought all the colours of this collection except for "The Princess in Aubergine". This collection is a MUST HAVE. Go grab from what's available before you regret! Basically, all these dresses from this collection, are ideal for smart casual functions or working days. Its not too formal. Great for OL and chic mummies. Not forgetting, you can keep the tradition, why not? I am visualising this dress in Maxi sleeveless version. wooo LOL.. think too much.

Check back on my blog for other Lark & Peony pieces.

I love Lemon! Lemon is my saviour!


Dear Mummies,

I recently found out this cheap and good pesticide. LOL.. Yes. Its definitely a good find!
I may be a mountain turtle but thru my experience, I am sharing so you can try! Especially, if you are like me, lazy mummy it is.

How I chance upon this wonderful remedy or trick or coincidence? 
My hubby was down with flu, cough, fever virus so I thought since my mum passed me some lemons to make a drink, so why don't I just squeezed it in my common water container. Its a 1 stone kills 2 birds theory. So I thought lemon may be helpful to my ill hubby till he recovers. Then I found out lemon is good for throat infections, bacteria, etc. Which is why you have lemon detergent. Well, obviously, this is a very common remedy right? Ya its nothing.

So when I'm done with the squeezed lemon, I left it at the tap area. Usually, there are ants around for no reason, its kinda irritating as I rarely cook. Ya I am a lazy mummy, thanks to my mummy. haha... Its really effective, the next day, somehow, traces of ants are getting lesser and lesser. Even some irritating bugs! Yes, I found the best solution not 100% but safe solution. I have kids at home, so I don't have to go spraying poisonous insecticide anywhere in the house.

I hope I am not the only country bumpkin here! Well, I hope it is a great share! I will be leaving few lemon slices in the living room. It will freshen the air the house. It does. And I doubt anyone will say no to that scent. ya?

The following link actually give you a clearer picture on 45 uses of Lemon, that's alot of uses for a little lemon right? Do you know at least half? I don't.

Have a good read.

Happy national day!

Cheongsam Baby in Da house!

Dear Mummies,

Who doesn't love their own kids? Especially baby! I mean let's not talk about toddlers and grown up kids. I am referring to just BABY! Oh yeah! Babies are just so innocent and cute! They have the best skin and cuteness. Don't you agree?

The fact that having 3 kids, my current schedule is literally packed till the night! I still love and pamper my kids. All I need is a pat on my shoulder and more understanding from my hubby from my nonsense. Agree? Yes I totally take my hat off for those being a FULL TIME housewife. Its really tough! Its a slave job! I could not breathe even by just running around in the whole morning! And I am a working mother too. Yes, I am a working mummy. You need some cooling time away from the kids, this way you are able to recharge and give them all your best.

Enough of the rubbish talk. My baby girl is growing fast, and she is crawling and walking, the same usual cycle. As she is the only and youngest girl in my family, she definitely gettng a lot attention. Yes, after shopping for boys' clothes, I finally got a chance to shop for girls' clothes! Pretty girls' clothes. Basically, I can buy the whole world right? Haha.. Yes. Well, I mean I don't just go spending and wasting money on a little human. I still have expectation. Its just too much temptation, setting an expectation will definitely help! So why am I so eager to share this? As I so happy that I found a great dress for my little baby girl, traditional yet modern. If you realised, I actually wrote about my love for cheongsam, I would prefer my daughter to follow suit right? And this is why I am sharing. Cheongsam is for baby or toddler too! I am so glad I managed to purchase this dress for her, so to be kiasu, I even bought another dress for my girl too. In case, I couldn't find similar style.


 
The above Take A Side blue dress is from thehappycheongsam! She is so pretty in it. So princessy. Not forgetting about the ribbon headband, its a matching set. It comes with the dress. Oh ya! Haha.. She is only 1yr 3mths. They have the similar prints and different design in Pink. I bought that too. Its just too cute. Now its the time to doll her up, she probably won't let me when she is 10? We'll see. :)

The most happening part about this shop is, they have mama and baby set! Yes, they have the similar design that will match your daughter's. It's in my closet now. No regrets!

Check out their online shop, its available for preorder.
