Casa n' Spa

You know when I was a kid – i used to envy my friends – you see i come from a convent school – and those kids – they are RICH !! with a capital R.   I mean they were kids who won’t even  sell books that they don’t use anymore to the next year’s students – you know poor students like us.   So when I was working hard and climbing the corporate ladder – i told myself – i was gonna buy all the nicest things for my own kids.

But alas, with working so much – i never found anyone whom i wanted to have babies with  – I finally did at 39 and with this chiild – I cannot help but want to buy nice things for her.  I don’t think she knows about it at all – except that they are pink -well – anything pink to her is great.

Anyhow, I found these personalized gift store for kids – where you can even personalized their lunch bags and water bottles – but most importantly – they do international mailing.   I’ve always loved the stylish personalized things – to make you and your things stand out – but at $30 for a lunch bag – i wonder if it is that appealing to the massive.  I know some mothers would buy just about anything for their kids – now if i was in Australia – that would be a different story because shipping isn’t as bad – but i’m very tempted – haha! what about you ?  would you pay $30 for a lunch box + shipping?

I had very bad pigmentation on one side of my face before coming to the West – i am wondering if it is the hot sun there that did that to my face – because after so many years here in the West with the different season – my pigmentation isn’t that bad anymore.  But having said that – living in the east actually didn’t see a need for me to get the best fat burner while here in the West – I’ve put on so much weight – it’s not even funny.

But yes – my esthetician always frown before when she does my face every month.   Anyhow – i did a little research on pigmentation and it seems like i am right – that if you are exposed to sunlight for a long period of time – your skin gets inflamed thus causes pigmentation.  So to prevent pigmentation – i heard that a good sunscreen is definitely a plus.  Therefore, my kid don’t go anywheres without her sunscreen.

I used my epson receipt printer to print out the coupon for the 50% discount from Please Mum, a place where I spend money every week for my kids’ clothing.   I even go online to buy presents for my friends’ kids who lived in the States and different parts of Canada – whenever there is a birthday or any special occasion.  But alas, today while checking out the affliates for Please Mum – while updating my blogs – i foundout that Please Mum declined my application for affiliates.   I don’t know why and wanted to check with the advertiser but there was no contact thru’ my affiliates – anyhow – I guess – i wouldn’t be buying from Please Mum anymore because I have affiliates from Baby Gap and  other kid’s store – if my blogs ain’t good enough for Please Mum – then I won’t be spending money on Please Mum every week.

The girlfriend sent out baby announcements to all of us and invited us to a spa in town for a baby shower.  Not uncommon these days but if you know how small our town is and how many spas we have here – you can imagine – how expensive it can get.  If you are thinking that we let our girlfriend foot our bill for the spa – then you are wrong – we can never do that – we care about our girlfriend too much.  Anyhow, the baby shower was more for the mummy than us – we just want her to be happy.  It was expensive if you are thinking of throwing one too – but it was all in the name of good fun and cheer.   For a 45 mins destressing facial – it cost us about $65 + tax and don’t forget to tip your esthetician too eh. Yes ! they do expect it – and even the home based spa in town that I used to go – she expects as much as $5 in tips.   I do love going to spas – i for one used to go every 3 weeks when i was in Asia but here in Canada – I don’t think I am paying for value for money – if you know what i mean – so unless it was for a special occasion – i rather save my money for good skin care – what about you?

Like any parents in the world – you wonder what to do – when you lil’ girl decide she wants to play mummy or fashion model.  Yes! i’ve been meaning to hunt down non toxic nail polishes for my daughter – who loves dressing up but hates the smell of grown up nail polishes. Albeit a bit expensive – i wouldn’t risk giving the kid hives because she might be allergic to some ingredients of the usual nail polishes.

Piggy Paint is as “Natural as Mud” in the sense that every ingredient in the polish is biodegradable with no traces or residues left behind, thus it would make an excellent addition to your mulch pile or as a feed for farm animals.

Our water-based nail polish is non-toxic, environmentally safe, hypoallergenic, with an odor that is extremely low, nearly nonexistent. It has the same look and durability performance as traditional kid polishes, but without the drawbacks of foul odors, toxicity, and damage to our environment and to your little ones’ nails.
