2013 was a rather challenging year. I was forced out of my comfort zone, dealt with sudden erratic changes from certain social circles, robbed of good friends' and relationships, judged, misunderstood, disappointed by a really good friend, left to fulfill a dream that was starting to fuel on disappointments, running low on funds for a while, given a worrying bill of health… and felt mainly ...

My oily affair …and how it recently improved my emotional wellness
My first introduction to Young Living Essential Oils came about when I got sorely pissed in May, at my son's refusal in taking his medication - 5ml of Ventolin was the key culprit amongst others being prescribed. I ranted on Facebook, asked for tips/tricks and basically anything that would make my next feeding of medicines not as miserable as the last few ones. And within half a day, 100+ ... Read More
Friday Five – 5 things to tell yourself…
Life's curveballs - it's something most people don't enjoy acknowledging or talking about. Since motherhood, I find it tough to stop in my tracks and address real hurts and feelings because I rather spend most of my waking moments enjoying quality time and creating more memories with my little tot. Or maybe it's just a convenient excuse of avoiding the reality that's happening because it's ... Read More
Handy tips in positive parenting
{source via here} Has anyone else been struggling to manage your child's tantrums quirks of late? Then I hope these tips come as a timely reminder for you as much as it did for me. Whoever said positive parenting was easy? Oh goodness there are days when I try to be too positive for my own good that it backfires ten times over and I end up getting a stinky stare and a "tsk" from another ... Read More
Letters to my son
Some time back the Bo & I created an email account for our son. No, it wasn't the wonderful idea of being able to write him emails that he can read when he's older that sparked the action but rather we needed an email account to watch online streaming and we didn't want to create another random ID that we couldn't remember by. #wearesuchbadparentsright Speaking of which, can you imagine the ...

Midnight Musings
Witty shows, like witty men, can be very sexy. Of late I've been catching more than my fair share of drama/movies which have been inspiring and enriching. Like 'Syrup' - felt the need to share it with my bestie almost immediately (literally sat her down to watch the show within the week). She loved it. And for the rest of the night, we reminisced everything about indie + satire flicks and ... Read More
Quickly we go into the 2nd half of 2013
It's 1 July 2013 and what rang up in my mind when I woke up this morning was how fast half of 2013 has just passed me by. Lots have been done. Lots are still left undone. I spent most of today setting up 2 mega monitors on the dining table and being engaged in my mega time consuming work assignment, but in between I managed to fit in pockets of quality time with the son, who kept bursting into ...

Like a rebellious child
I haven't been feeling very inspired to blog of late due some unpleasant & unexpected experiences which occurred recently. God knows how I felt & dealt with everything that happened, and in Him I confided. To add on to the series of not-so-great events, the little fella's health also hit a low twice - once, vomitting twice in the wee hours of the night for no reason (there was a ... Read More
Happy Valentine’s
It seems like we've almost not participated in any of the commercialized Valentine's Day celebrations since the Bo & I got married in 2008; because well...like they say, when you're in love, "everyday is a valentine's day" right? Anyhow I was really feeling in the mood for love this morning since I didn't have to wake up & rush off to work as I usually do on almost every valentine's ... Read More
Space Inspiration
With the ongoing idea for room improvement and how we can better improve the work station area in the bedroom to avoid making it look like a bulk of clutter (read: more stylish) while being able to hold more stuff and pleasing to the eye; here's what I came across on Refinary29 today: Perhaps a trip for some furniture ogling is in order this weekend. ...
