Parenting Tip: Try Love and Kindness when a child misbehaves

Sometimes our little darlings misbehave. It's ok, just breathe, we can't expect our little darlings to be perfect angels all the time 😉 But when it's prolonged misbehaviour, it could be a deeper root to the problem.

Continuous bad behaviour could be a cry for help. First, I would determine it's not due to outside factors i.e. bullying or assault from others.

Once outside factors are eliminated, at least we know that our little darling is safe. Talking is always a good start. Be a friend that they can confide with. Cuddle up over a cup of hot chocolate and just have a conversation with your little darling. Your little darling will open up easily and won't be stressed out.

Scolding an already upset child will only make it worse. Believe it or not, our little darlings feel guilty when they misbehave most of the time, so it's unfair to make them feel worse by scolding them further. At the end of the day, love is always the best answer. When your little darling feels loved, they are motivated to be at their best.

Try kindness and love and see your little darling blossom before your eyes.

Best Snail Extract Gel Mask: Celebrity Snail Extract Moisturizing Gel Mask

My very recent skincare routine includes face masks and snails. I've finally succumbed to the snail trend, which honestly is so yesterday, but I have to say it's really one of the most amazing skincare discovery since Retinol.

Recently, I've been totally addicted to face masks especially the Korean made ones. Being a budget beauty mommy, my criteria for a good face mask is convenience and effectiveness.

My current top choice is Celebrity Snail Extract Moisturising Gel Mask.

This mask is so amazing in so many ways. First of all, the snail extract is in the top 3 ingredients list so it has a high content of the goodness. It comes in a gel mask so it is so comfortable and it hugs the face snugly and doesn't dry up like normal sheet ones. You can even sleep through the night with it without it drying and hardening on your face. Korean masks also has the perk of being smaller sized than other masks so they don't mess up your hairline. In short, putting the mask on is not such a hideous affair.

Now, the results of this mask is just so wonderful. It helps repair and lighten hyperpigmentation such as acne scars very rapidly. You can see results almost immediately, the scars are lightened in just one application Also it leaves my skin super supple and moisturised. It does live up to its claims and I'm sold! I'm currently on my third box.

If you want immediate results, do use the mask everyday. It can be quite pricey and time consuming to put it on everyday. So you can actually use the remainder of the essence in the packet the next day and use the mask on alternate days. The results are just as good and it helps without taxing your purse too much.

Budget beauty mommies, you have to give this a try and see for yourself. Let me know if you love it or not. Can't wait to hear your verdict.

Creamy beef fillet recipe

Another new creation for my roast dinner. It's so colourful, nutrient dense and delicious.

I've roasted potatoes, Japanese sweet potatoes, pumpkin and red peppers in the oven. I've blanched carrots and stir fried bok choy with onions.

For the meat, I've created a beef fillet with onions, button mushrooms, cooking cream and bacon bits with a pinch of cumin powder, salt, pepper, honey, dried rosemary and dried oregano. It's so tasty.

You can try it out too.

Best nude tinted lip balm - Bellaoggi Tentazione

When it comes to makeup, I have a weakness for lipgloss and all things lippie.

Recently, I've stumbled upon Italian brand Bellaoggi's Tentazione tinted lip balm with glossy effect. I opted for 08 Desert Rose which is a nude colour out of its very pretty 7 shades.

I can't stop gushing, but this is one of the prettiest nude colours I've found so far. It leaves a subtle hint of colour on my lips and keeps it super smooth and soft looking. It looks so natural and so beautiful.

It's a tinted lip balm so it doesn't last long at all. I will recommend topping up after eating. Apart from that, it's very easy to apply as it comes in the shape of a chunky crayon and it glides on smoothly.

If you love tinted lip balms, you've got to try this out the colours are really pretty. Seriously, when it comes to getting the colours right, you can always count on the Italians.

Healthy and easy breakfast that kids love

Breakfast for champs! This is how we roll for breakfast.

It's the most important meal of the day to regulate and set the right pace for our metabolism and to nourish our little darlings especially on the first meal of the day.

Plus, most of all it's delicious and breakfast tastes better when it's more fun. So easy to prepare too.

To top it off, I add 2-3 drops of Doterra's Wild Orange in the water for a beautiful flavour and wild orange is great for waking up tiredness and sluggishness.

What is your breakfast like? Share your pics with me!
