JOHNSONS Baby Of The Year 2013 Contest

16 May

JOHNSONS Baby Of The Year 2013 Contest

Okay mommies, listen up and listen well!

Johnsons is having their mucho coveted baby contest. Yay. A contest that usually can turn ugly after the short listed kiddies and winners are announced on their Facebook page with each mothers whining and wondering how come their little princess/prince didn’t get a chance. I still remember some of the comments that was directed on the page last year. But I hope this year mothers will refrain from being so sore coz surely the world wouldn’t come to an end just because ‘your cutest baby in the whole wide world’ didn’t get shortlisted or win. Asking J&J WHY your kid wasn’t selected is like asking WHY is the sky blue.

Just because.

Life goes on, que sera sera.

So anyways, I saw their posting on Facebook about the return of their baby contest. Didn’t really think much of it and when I read somewhere they were going to have a booth set up in Mid Valley at the Exhibition Hall on Saturday and my first impression was, CRAP – i hope MV doesn’t get congested with no car park coz we were headed there for the Sofia premiere (see post below).

Anyhos, after the movie, we walked to Jusco coz there was a sale that was going on and the husband needed shoes. As usual, I went to the baby section to look see when loo and behold a special small booth by J&J had been set up esp for me for those who’d like to join the contest.

What, no queue ar?…was my first thought. Then the lady quickly ran up to me to ask if I wanted to sign my child up. SCORE.  I scurried to buy RM10 worth of J&J products just so I Sairah could enter the contest. To which I finally realized that I’m sure parents were probably busy lining up at the Exhibition Hall to get the photos taken, hehehe, suckers!

We did it Like A Boss!

Nah, special booth set up near J&J products.

The details/flyer incase any mommies would like to know the T&Cs! It’s quite straight forward la, just buy RM10 worth of J&J products, get your baby’s photo taken at the J&J photo-booth OR you could scan your receipt and upload a baby photo of your choice (last year they said no head gears/accessories were allowed but ended up choosing kids with it anyways –  and boy there was an uproar so I hope J&J make their rulings clear this time) onto their Facebook app page.

(click to enlarge please)

Getting Sairah to pose came fairly easy since she was in a jolly good mood from watching Sofia The Princes. So I gave her minimal ‘directing’ and this was the outcome.

Oi don’t look at me…look at the aunty taking your photos!

There…much better. Princess face :D

Work it babbbyyy!

And it’s a wrap! After about 5 shots or so, we reviewed the photo we wanted to submit and wala, the lady proceeded to print 2 copies on the spot….one for us to keep, and one for them to upload to their page. THE END. Fairly simply right? But I”m sure if we had a long line here, some moronic parent would probably complicate everything by being super kiasu and take their own sweet time. We were done in less than 5 minutes.

So while her daddy was busy filling up the forms and waiting for the copy of her photo, I took these photos, just for fun.

Give me ATTENTION face!

Now give me Kawaii?!

Give me I-have-a-Dream!

Give me scared!

Give me posey posey.

Give me sleepy!

FREEZE!

Give me I spy with my little eyes….

Sairah reviewing her photo. This is her last chance to enter the contest as it stops at 36 months.

Hey that’s me. Yup nothing like seeing a photo of yourself in PRINT! Such a treat since I keep most of her photos in digital form. I miss hard copies of photos sometimes.

You can submit any amount of entry you want so long you have RM10  proof of recipe to show per entry. But I think I’ll stop at 2 entries….too many entries is rather creepy and a waste of moolah.

Now GO submit your entries and remember, it’s meant to be a fun process exposing kids to the wonders of err posing in front of the camera so please la, go with an open mind and enjoy the process. Coz who knows, when you least expect it, you might actually win. Actually I got a few stories like that to share…soon soon!

Contest period: 1 May – 30 Jun 2013

P.s: I have some of Sairah’s baby clothes up for sale, so please stay tuned for that!

Sofia The First: Once Upon A Princess

15 May

Sofia The First: Once Upon A Princess

Ladies, if you have a lil Princess or Prince at home, a niece or nephew, or if you’re a plain Princess at heart (who isn’t!) – pay close attention as Disney will introduce its first little girl princess with the debut of “Sofia the First: Once Upon A Princess,” an enchanting, music-filled animated Disney Junior television movie for the whole family, SUNDAY, MAY 19 at 11.00am on Disney Channel (ASTRO Channel 615) and MONDAY, MAY 27 at 1.00pm on Disney Junior (ASTRO Channel 613). A “Sofia the First” television series will premiere on 15 July 2013, Monday 10a.m!

Set in the storybook world of Enchancia, the movie introduces Sofia, an average girl whose life suddenly transforms when her mother marries the king and she becomes a princess, Sofia the First. Sofia must learn to navigate the extraordinary life of royalty while holding on to her own hopes and dreams. Her journey to being the best she can be also paves the way for those around her to realize how special they each are.  Disney’s Cinderella makes an appearance in the movie to offer Sofia some words of wisdom – princess to princess.

Sofia’s royal adventure begins as she prepares to move into the castle with her mom, starting a new family with her step-father, King Roland II, and step-siblings, Amber and James. Helping Sofia in her journey are the three headmistresses of Royal Prep Academy – Fauna, Flora and Merryweather (the beloved fairies seen in Disney’s classic “Sleeping Beauty”) and royal steward, Baileywick, as well as a group of cute woodland creatures led by a wise-talking rabbit, Clover. Sofia soon discovers that looking like a princess isn’t all that difficult, but displaying honesty, loyalty, courage, independence, compassion and grace is what makes one truly royal.

Created for kids and their families, the stories of “Sofia the First” communicate positive messages and life lessons that are applicable to young children.  While she lives in a captivating world of castles, wizards and flying horses, Sofia remains a relatable peer-to-peer princess who is experiencing many of the same social situations as young viewers at home including learning how to fit in, making new friends and mastering new skills.

With that, we were lucky to be invited to preview the Premiere of Sofia The First at GSC Signature in Gardens on Saturday morning. It’s been a while since we went to GSC Signature so that was truly a royal treat. But of course, all in line with their Princess treatment I say :lol:

Sairah The Princess, Always A Princess In Her Momma’s Eyes :D After she was done posing with the crown, her royal highness asked if she could take it back, haha.

Listening to the speech from the kind folks who invited us. Thank you thank you thank you!

Is the Aunty done? Let’s get this movie started!

All smiles the minute the movie started. It was close to only 45 minutes but that was enough to get this kid HOOKED! When everything ended and as we made our way to the exit, she kept saying ‘I want sumoreeee’ but I told her to catch it on TV soon at Grandma’s house. I”m only lucky she didn’t pull a full blown tantrum for wanting more. She’s been watching bits and pieces of this series on Youtube and that seems to keep her happy. For now.

Playing with her wand pen that we found in the goodie bag. Abracadabra, make my mommie slim like she used to be!

SEE, told you she’s already obsessed with the cartoon. I really do think this series will take appeal to lots of kids (esp the girls) and moms too. As an adult, I was certainly entertained as well and it was refreshing to see a new twist of how Disney tackles having a step brother and step sister in a positive light and being nice to everyone around you. Kudos to that. I’m 110% convinced Sairah and kiddies her age will learn a things or two, just like she does with her Pocoyo show.

Her Royal Princess going ghetto on her food, lol. Maybe there will be an episode of how to dine like a princess in the future on that show, heh.

And these were the generous goodies given. I have to say I am thinking of flicking it all for myself, hehe.

Maybe using the same chain Sofia wears, I’ll coax her to do more good things so she gets good merits :eek:

Thank you Disney for the invite and we can’t wait to watch the series!

Do check out: DisneyChannel-asia.com and DisneyJunior-Asia.com/Sofia website as they are featuring a fully immersive royal experience. Kids can get creative, creating and personalizing their own prince or princess avatars with the Royal Me game, dressing up Sofia’s room or just having fun with the many activity pages and videos available on the site!

Number76 Bangsar

13 May

Number76 Bangsar

I”ve been meaning to update my hair ever since getting highlights a year ago. I think over the past year or so I’ve become a little more adventurous with my hair. I don’t really indulge in it often because I do think it can be a pretty expensive adventure, unless of course, anyone wants to sponsor my hair, ahem, but I am a believer now it’s nice to have a small change every now and then.

I came to know about Number76 after reading Cheesie’s blog. I’ve always been fascinated how her hair is able to stay top notch despite all that coloring. And of course I’ve always loved the vibrancy of her hair color and now I”m convinced that no one does hair colorant products like the Japs :)

After booking an appointment with BabySis off we both went on Saturday to get prettified :)

This is how the salon looks like. My first impression: this looks more like a uppity cafe than anything else!

(Photo courtesy of their website)

A compulsory before photo (photo was taken for a product review coming up soon!)

Our stylist was Victor (he’s Malaysian)  a new staff to Number76, Bangsar. My Sis and I liked him the minute we met him.  Not in that way but in the sense that he’s one of those stylist who listens to what you want and then gives his expert opinion. Very calmly and does it with a smile! He doesn’t push you to do what you don’t want/need and I think this is what makes a good salon experience pleasant.  I can’t tell you the amount of times I”ve had stylist recommending me products to buy and expensive treatments to do. I don’t mind their recommendation per say but it becomes personal when they show face if you choose not to go further with it.  Or keep pestering you to do it. And somehow they always want to recommend the MOST expensive treatment they have. Hmpf.

But that’s not the case with Victor. Such a patient guy. And skillful!

Okay la enough of Victor, don’t want to sound like I”m a huge obsessed fan, hehe. My Sis is though.

My Sis took most of the time asking Victor a thousand and one questions which he answered very enthusiastically and ended up with their digital perm. I on the other hand wanted highlights so we settled for partial highlights mainly because I”m not the type to tie my hair up so a full highlights would really go to waste on me. Unless it’s sponsored of course :D

Victor then suggested to change the base color of my hair so that there’s a better 3D effect to it and that the color contrast wouldn’t be so obvious. I was rather skeptical at first because I”ve always had black hair my whole life and I was afraid the color would be too bright. So I told Victor to keep it as natural as possible.

So there I sat getting my hair a layered cut (which I oh so love!), highlighted, base hair color followed by the Tansan Treatment which I highly recommend as it removes the dirt and excessive oil from your scalp & the silicon on your hair.

And then after 3 hours….wala!

That’s Victor on the left staring at his workmanship :)

Back view. I like how the back hair is still dark-ish but you can see brown under the sun.

The front is a bit more brighter esp with the highlights which does make my front portion of my hair look thicker.

Like so.

Under yellow lighting

Brownie brownie.

3D effect?

The next day after blowing drying my hair myself. Doesn’t it look super natural? Like as though I was born with it hmmm?!

I LOVE the layered cut he gave me as well, I feel like it’s faster to blow dry my hair now since there’s less hair at the back, heh. Yet it still adds volume to the hair. Amazing.

What do you think? Is this a good change? I certainly do love it (so if you say you hate it it wouldn’t make a difference :p) because it’s exactly what I wanted. My husband suggested I add in a few more even brighter highlights in the front but I told him in order for me to have a rich Tai Tai look he has to be super rich first :lol: Guess he can’t complain over finding white strands anymore too, heh.

Safe to say I’m a Number76 convert and more importantly, I’m happy with Victor’s professionalism and skills in helping me attain natural brown hair with highlights! I’ve already booked a session for their highly raved treatment which I will blog later on.  While I”d love to rebond my hair too, my only woe right now is I’m unable to do so in the next 2 months unless I”m okay with the color fading a bit. Hmmm….woe woe.

So how much did I pay for it? As you know, I’m not a fan of paying retail so its a valid question to ask sometimes :D Plus I know that’s always a burning question because changing hair color and getting highlights is a costly affair.

Total breakdown:

Hair color: RM220

Partial Highlights: RM390

Hair Cut: RM76

Tansan: RM50

Total: RM736

BUT WAIT! Since it’s Victor-Month or rather their New Stylist Promotion for the month of May, his services are slashed by 50% (save for some treatments) making this change an affordable one for a mere RM368!

Can you say OMG?! Yes go ahead thank me :D And despite the 50% off, Victor still gave us a full-price service which I think is really priceless and a rarity with stylist these days! Highly recommended!

Do book your slot with Victor as there’s only 2.5 weeks to go before we hit end-May. Tell him I recommended him to you ladies k.

Thinking Of A Post Title Gives Me A Headache, Sometimes

10 May

Thinking Of A Post Title Gives Me A Headache, Sometimes

Haha don’t mind the title, sometimes it’s takes even longer for me to come up with a header than the body, go figure.

Some of you pretty ladies asked me what other boxes I’m subscribed to at the moment and it’s been a while since I wrote about WonderBox Malaysia coz they’ve yet to send me any complimentary box for review. I”ve been their faithful subscriber since their birth in November.  It’s been a smooth sailing journey with them.

But in March, for the first time, Wonderbox received complains over their box since many subscribers were sick and tired of seeing Murad make an appearance. I personally felt the box wasn’t too shabby since we did get a Wild Ferns hand cream & a FULL SIZE Elianto blush which I’m using to work everyday. But seeing three other Murad products in the box was good enough to send some woman in a hysteria, lol. So as they say, over social media like Facebook, sometimes people tend to forget their manners so what followed after that wasn’t a pretty sight with women writing long essays on their page telling them what they want and don’t want.

And so you could say that was how their Mission & Promise came about. They are also the first beauty box to also discontinue membership of some coz they felt they weren’t on the same wave length as the company. A bold move but one that I applaud them for doing. It’s absurd to pay a mere RM39.90 and demand for full size products in every box….coz it sort of defeats the purpose of sampling.

2 vouchers this time around.

Perhaps to make a big comeback, their April box was indeed favorable to everyone, well except for those who couldn’t get to buy it – now how’s that for teasing :D

First glance at the box….you likey? Coz me double triple likey. I love the beautiful colors in the box and can stare at this photo all day long :wink:

This has to be my favorite items in the box. L’oreal Professional Liss Ultime Shampoo (100 ml) followed by the Masque (60ml). These babies will calm and smooth out rebellious, frizzy hair with its Olive and Argan oils. Argan oil just seems to be the craze lately so I can’t wait to try these for nice smooth hair.

Next another star-y item – a FULL SIZE Ronasutra Mineral cheek color which retails for RM38. I love how they chose Cool Pink for me which I think suits tanned skin.

I was pleasantly pleased to see Esmeria’s travel kit for their Alpine Willowherb variant for oily and acne prone skin.

I should add this how the box looked when I opened it, stacked up and delightful to see :) *hugs box*

I”ve read countless reviews of Esmeria on beauty blogs so it was truly a treat to see this. The Alpine Willowherb keeps sebum secretions normal while soothing sore and inflamed skin. The Tatorol extract found in this fights acne causing bacteria, preventing uncomfortable breakouts.

And last but not least, something I”ve received in every box – the Timeless Truth (TT) Tea Tree Phenol Smoothing Mask, Gonna put this on the husband over the weekend :D

So what you think of the box? A delightful one don’t you think? And I”ve noticed they’ve been sending items also based on what you state about yourself in the beauty profile which I think adds a special touch since the box is personalized in a way.  Wonderbox definitely has my vote because I think they’ve been doing well since their debut box and I will continue subscribing to them.

And now for some random shots of Sairah taken at Publika, one of our fav malls to hit – not for shopping but for their FOOD :eek:

Oooh how delightfullll… we’re off to Publika!

Pulling around her Barbie bag which she so insist on doing these days.

Am loving her outfit which was an Indian inspired one, who says blings are only reserved for night wear :p

Boo hoo, mommie plans on selling some of my clothes soon so please stay tuned for that :)
