Review Of Kose Sekkisei Skincare Range

It has been a long time since i post a skincare review and i have been wanting to share my experience using Kose Sekkisei skincare products.

When i learnt that my favorite Japanese skincare brand Fancl was closing all its stores in Singapore several months ago, i decided to take the opportunity to try out another Japanese skincare brand Kose. I love using Fancl skincare product and it is a real pity that the brand is exiting Singapore. I have a friend who has been using Kose's Sekkisei basic skincare range for several years and she has really great skin and highly recommends the brand. My skin was giving me problems after i gave birth to my son last year and using Fancl's basic whitening skincare range together with my favorite SK-II Facial Treatment Essence really helps to calm my irritated skin. However since they closed down their store at Causeway Point and it will be difficult to get their product,  i ended up buying a set of Sekkisei lotion and emulsion at Metro to try out while i was at its counter purchasing its BB cream. 

The friendly Kose beauty consultant gave me several samples to try out since i was new to the brand and i love its White Liquid Wash which i tried during my recent staycation at Resorts World Sentosa. It cleanses well and my skin feels soft and smooth. I have been using Sekkisei lotion and emulsion together with SK-II FTE for the past 2 months and it does not irritates my skin and i have noted improvements to my skin which feels well hydrated with a healthy glow :) I'm really pleased with the products and uses its BB cream as a light makeup whenever i'm out. It offers decent coverage to hide minor blemishes and does not make my skin feels oily or irritated. 

Picture taken with my boy at Ocean Restaurant during our recent Mother's Day staycation at RWS :) I was only using Kose BB cream as makeup.

Thanks to Kose for helping to simplify my skincare routine and applying the products is so easy and convenient and i love that its emulsion comes in a pump bottle. Do check out Kose Facebook page for more information about the brand and its latest promotions :)

My Boy's First Lego Set :)

Bought this cute Lego set for the little guy during the recent Metro sales and i'm glad that he has been having a fun time playing with it :)

Fun Time With My Boy @ Cool De Sac :)

I brought my boy to Cool De Sac, an indoor playground for children recently after reading good review about the place online from a fellow mummy blogger (http://bumblebeemum.wordpress.com/category/kids-playground-gym-in-singapore/cool-de-sac/). Do check out her blog if you are looking for fun places to bring your kids as she provides really detailed information and reviews. Cool De Sac is located at Suntec City and the place was not very crowded as we went on a weekday. 

My boy had a fun time crawling around and exploring the toys there. I have been looking for fun indoor playgrounds for him so that he can crawl around freely to explore the place and also have a chance to interact with other kids. I brought him to Kidz Amaze at Toa Payoh Safra several times but prefer Cool De Sac as they have toys for toddlers to play and we only have to pay $10 entry fee for my boy and 2 adults to accompany him. We can also dine there while watching my boy play. This will be a lovely place to meet my fellow mummy friends so that we can have some time to catch up while our kids enjoy themselves at the playground ;)

Yummy fish & chips for lunch at its cafe while feeding my boy home made fish porridge :)

We tried Hokey Pokey recently but its too expensive and crowded and the place feels messy as the children throws the toys around after playing. I still prefer Cool De Sac and my boy loves going down the slide and i also had a fun time going down the slide with him. Check out some photos i took of our fun time there :) Baby J was really funny and showed interest in a cute little girl. He kept following her and wanting to play together with whatever toys she was playing.

Korean Drama "Angel Eyes" OST - Run To You MV

This touching romance drama just started showing in Korea last week and i enjoyed watching the first 2 episodes online. I was following another entertaining romance medical drama "Emergency Couple" and it ended last week and i'm glad that i found another good drama to follow. I love its OST "Run To You" and have just purchased the song from iTunes store. Looking forward to new episodes this week and do check out the drama MV below :)

Celebrating My Boy's 1st Birthday @ Sea Aquarium - Ocean Restaurant

We celebrated Baby J's 1st birthday last week and had a lovely family lunch at Ocean Restaurant. Lunch was really delicious and Baby J loves the place. He had a great time looking at the fishes and was trying to make friends with some kids who were admiring the fishes near the platform with him. My baby is really growing up and have been practicing walking at home by holding on to the furnitures. I can't wait for him to start walking on his own :) Happy birthday my dear boy and mummy and daddy love you and hope that you will stay happy and healthy always and we look forward to bringing you on more fun outings. Hmm maybe the zoo next hehe ;)

Korean Drama - My Love From Another Star

I have not had the time to update my blog recently as Baby J has not been feeling well and i have been busy taking care of him. I have also been hooked to this really interesting Korean drama "My Love From Another Star" starring Kim Soo Hyun and Jeon Ji Hyun and have been watching the drama online whenever Baby J is sleeping.

The drama has recently ended in Korea and gotten really good ratings. It is also really popular with viewers from China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. I love the touching and sweet love story of the main characters Do Min Joon (Kim Soo Hyun) and Cheon Song Yi (Jeon Ji Hyun) and spending a few hours nightly watching the drama really helps me to relax after a tiring day taking care of a very needy and grouchy baby. Really hopes my poor baby will get well soon. I have been listening to the drama soundtrack daily and my favorite songs are "My Destiny" and "In Front Of Your House" and you can check out the song MVs below. 

Actor Kim Soo Hyun has won over a lot of female viewer's hearts, including mine hehe ;) with his portrayal of the perfect boyfriend Do Min Joon who is an alien that landed on Earth 400 years ago during the Joseon Dynasty period. Do Min Joon possesses a near perfect appearance and enhanced physical abilities involving his vision, hearing and speed. He holds a cynical view to human beings. Deciding that emotions are nothing but fantasies that drag human beings into folly and evil, he scorns the mortal idea of love. And so far, he has had no reason to change his mind. But he starts to have second thoughts when he meets the stunning and attractive actress Cheon Song Yi three months before he is finally able to return to his own planet. You can go to Dramabeans to find out more about the drama :)

Tasty & Healthy Baby Food From Petit Bowl

Frozen meals from Petit Bowl in my freezer

I mentioned in my previous post about purchasing frozen baby food online from Petit Bowl and i'm so glad that baby J has been enjoying his Petit Bowl meals. I'm so happy that he has also started to enjoy eating beef which he hates in the past. The beef dishes from Petit Bowl are really delicious unlike the bottled beef baby food i fed baby J. I have been feeding baby J a lot of Petit Bowl meals while we are out visiting this Chinese New Year as it is so convenient to prepare and bring it out. 

Happy and satisfied baby J after enjoying his Petit Bowl meals :)

My baby will be 1 year old next month and he has been showing a lot of interest in the food we are having and i have been hoping to find the time to prepare more variety of food for him as he eats fish or chicken porridge with vegetables daily. However he has developed separation anxiety recently and sticks closely to me at times and refused to play on his own and i have difficulty spending too much time preparing his meals for him. I wanted to introduce other meat dishes like beef, pasta to his daily meals and I was so happy to have discovered Petit Bowl from reading past issues of Young Parents Magazines. 

Hidden Vegetable Pasta

Blueberry Yogurt

I decided to order from Petit Bowl as i love that their meals contains no salt, sugar, MSG and their delivery services have been really prompt and i usually receives my orders within 2 days of ordering online. Baby J's top favorites are their Blueberry Yogurt, Braised Beef & Barley Pot, Hidden Vegetable Pasta and Sole Fish Casserole with rice and he finishes everything up which makes his daddy and mummy very happy :) I'm so glad and thankful that my boy is a little foodie like his mummy.

Its really easy and convenient to prepare the meals and i just steam the food for about 20 minutes and add some milk or water to his casserole with rice so that its like porridge and not too dry. The meals from Petit Bowl smells really good and hubby could not resist eating some too. I have just received my 3rd order of another 2 weeks worth of meals for baby J today. However some of baby J's favorite dishes like the hidden vegetable pasta and braised beef & barley pot were sold out and hopefully there will be new stocks soon and i can order more for him.
