A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
Since young, Alycia’s face will be speckled with tiny red dots whenever she throws up. But with the latest vomiting last week, I had to break out laughing after she threw up because my daughter with immaculate skin as white as snow, turned into a cute freckled face girl! Brown freckles to be exact. I…
Alycia and Sherilyn are very prone to throat infection, no thanks to their daddy and mummy’s genes as both hubs and I have tonsils and are very prone to throat infection too. For me, it is under control now as I watch what I eat all the time (and have very strong will power too!)…
Yesterday during dinner, I almost choked from laughter. Since the day we learned of Whitney Houston’s sudden death, we have been talking about it all the time. Yesterday a friend came to our house for dinner and we were talking about Whitney Houston and her daughter. All of a sudden, my baby girl said “mummy,…

Shortly after Cassandra’s birth, I had wanted to get an origami stroller for her, so that I could bring her with me when I went jogging on the road. The origami stroller can be folded and opened at the touch of a button, really cool! But my hubs bought another stroller. It was a very…
When I was pregnant with my daughters, I had acne on my face and back during the first trimester. Towards the last semester, I had very, very dry and itchy skin all over my body. No amount of lotion and emollient could bring relief to my skin. A friend of mine who was also pregnant…
I fired my very first maid 10 years ago when I found out that she poured urine into my drinking water in what she thought could have ‘charmed’ me. I almost drank it but stopped to have a sniff when I smelled something foul in my water. Last week, there was an article in the…
I am fortunate that I never have to cook up a storm for relatives and friends during Chinese New Year. If my mil happens to be back for CNY, she will be the chef, whipping up 2 – 3 sumptuous meals a day. She is even capable of cooking up a storm for a big…
