A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
This slice of bread looks like any other bread but it’s a very expensive loaf of bread. What’s added into the bread is goose liver pate, an expensive delicacy. This bread was flown in from HK and was baked by my sil in HK. She’s a fantastic baker. I love my slice of bread spread…
It was a sheer coincidence that we had everything purple for the entire day. First we had reddish/purplish dragon fruits for breakfast. Then, we had purple sweet potato as dessert after lunch. For dinner, we had stir-fried organic purple cabbage. And my girls watched Barney the purple dinosaur too! Before cooking… After cooking. The purple…
Lately, my hair is shedding by the heaps! I wonder if it’s caused by hormonal change, lack of sleep or simply because I am aging! Each time I shower and brush my hair, I see gobs of hair on my palm!! I must nip the bud of the problem by getting a hair growth shampoo…
Before Baby C, my 3rd daughter was born, I told myself that I would never ever want any of my kids to land themselves a job as a nurse. However, my point of view all changed ever since Baby C was diagnosed with Kidney Reflux when she was an infant. She was in and out…
Baby seems to tolerate soy bean milk better than cow’s milk. These days, I have stopped feeding her with Pediasure. First, Pediasure is for picky eaters / kids who do not eat well / underweight kids.

It is an excellent source of vitamins B1, B2, and B3, C, magnesium, folic acid, zinc, phosphorus, manganese and has high…
When my movement was limited recently due to a badly sprained back, I could not exercise for 4 days! 4 days of being sedentary was a shock to my body. I suffered from constipation for 2 days (which hardly ever happens) and I gained 1 pound in 4 days. I was really upset that I…
It’s close to midnight now and I can barely open my eyes. My brain is fogged and all I want now is my BED! But I can’t go to bed just yet. As usual, I have loads of unfinished work. I have several invoices to churn out and send out, orders to send to my…
Not mine lar, I hope the title didn’t scare you 😀 It’s the butcher / veggie seller whom I normally patronize in the morning. This morning at the market-on-van, I overhead the butcher’s wife telling all the ‘see lais’ (housewives) that her hubby was at the A&E Dept. of the hospital on Saturday. She was…
