Heartache........





Yesterday was a traumatic day for us as Nyx suffered quite a bad injury and we had to take her to the hospital.  I turned on the fan in the bedroom for Nya as the summer heat was making her feel warm and I kept telling Nyx not to meddle with the buttons or play around the fan.  

Somehow as I was in the bathroom cleaning Nya up, Nyx managed to topple the fan down and I guess she must have been trying to shield her face when her fingers and thumb got caught in between the spaces of the metal barrier.  As a result of that her left thumb suffered a serious injury from the fan blades, slicing off some flesh which the doctor says will grow back.  

I felt really really bad as I should have watched her more closely. To make matters worse she was crying and kept apologising to me profusely saying "sorry mommy sorry mommy....." while her thumb was bleeding as I had warned her multiple times to stop pushing the buttons or playing near the fan.  

She was really brave as the doctor and nurses who tended to her cleaned and dressed her wound.  Nyx only whimpered a little and let the professionals do their job with ease.  We had to ensure that her tentanus vaccination was up to date and for now we'll have to make sure that the wound doesnt get infected.  Holding her toys and bowl as well as showering will be abit tough for now too.  For Nyx and I, we've both learnt a very valuable lesson.  I'm gonna watch her and Nya even more closely from now on, and for Nyx hopefully when I tell her not to monkey around with something she will heed my words.

My Sculptra Journey with Halley Medical Aesthetics: Final Review (Fourth Visit)

Image
  Since the start of my Sculptra treatment at Halley Medical Aesthetics till the final review with Dr. Terence Tan , I must say I’m very impressed and the results exceeded my expectations. I should point out that I initially didn’t expect much work to be done and was just happy where I was. But the fact is, we don’t know what we don’t know. And that’s why there are experts right? Just like how I’d tell my clients and students that the aches and pains that they feel every day is not normal although they tell themselves that its part and parcel of getting old. I now appreciate so much of what Dr. Terence Tan pointed out to me the first time I stepped in for the first consultation. Because looking at the pictures from my final review months after I did the treatment, I was really blown away (in a good way) with the results. Take a look at where I started and the end result now. I think the images speak for themselves. Before Treatment             ...

Meridian Facelift at Body Inc.

Nothing beats getting a pampering session done at the end of a long workday. But if it’s one that gives you a face-lifting effect, I think that right about makes it one of the best ways to end the day! I had the chance to receive this pampering treatment at Body Inc. where we were also introduced to the line of products used and carried by the brand. Within their product line is the Happy Series blended oils which are specially formulated using natural and organic remedies.  I got to use the Happy Lash blended oil which not only  removes eye makeup effectively, but after using the oil for the past few days I can actually feel how it doesn’t dry my skin like regular makeup remover does, and it nourishes my skin at the same time. What’s even better about this oil that is rich in Vitamin A, E and Omega-3 is how it also promotes lash and eyebrows growth!  Jacelyn demonstrating the use of the Happy Lash blended oil. Can’t get enough of this blended oil that’s so good for my la...

The IDS (Innovative Dermatological Solutions) Journey - Third Visit

Laser Treatment with IDS Clinic  Isn't it true? When we see an improvement to our skin over time we can get into the mindset that its good enough and that's the routine that we need to stick to. Contrary to that, our skin is constantly ageing and taking longer to regenerate as we get older. So once in awhile, a little something different can help us potentially see more improvements.  I've never been one for lasers before, and my first time experiencing it was with IDS Clinic this year. Yes I'm in my 40s already and why haven't I tried it you might ask? Well, I'm a chicken when it comes to having laser treatments on my face. Maybe its the scary stories I've heard from the time I was younger, but yeah, that's really the main reason why I never tried it before. Till Dr. Ian Tan from IDS Clinic recommended it as my treatment on my third visit here.  Quite honestly I was a little scared and skeptical, but he assured that it would not be uncomfortable. So ...
