DON't just brusH, playbrush!

Picture
Ever felt that getting your kid to brush his/her teeth is a Herculean task?

Playbrush is here to make life easier for you, mummies!

As a parent, we are responsible for every aspect of our children's well-being. And teaching them to cultivate good habits & personal hygiene like brushing/taking care of their teeth is very important. But kids being kids, most of them hates brushing their teeth. My Son only started to learn brushing his teeth at 5 year old because even picking up his toothbrush sounds like a chore to him and he couldn't spend more than 1 minute in front of the basin. So how on earth can I or we, parents get our children to make sure they brush their teeth properly, and ensure every single tooth gets taken care of?

Bribes? Or white lies? I did both, lol. But of course it only works temporary. I'm guilty of bribing him with toys and telling white lies like his teeth will grow caterpillars and what-nots. But kids grew smarter and such methods don't work forever.

And then there is Playbrush!
Toothbrush + Playbrush + iPad = Perfect combo!!!!
Wait. What's that iPad for??!

How to Use?
*You can use any smart phone or tablet and the PlayBrush device will connect automatically with Bluetooth turned-on.  It is that easy. 

You may have to charge the device before using.

1. Go to AppStore and download "Utoothia" game app.

2. Turn on your Bluetooth!

3. Fit your own toothbrush into the Playbrush, that's it. Your kid is ready to Playbrush!

The PlayBrush also comes with an instruction manual, as well as an activity book for your kid.

BENEFITS of using PlayBrush

Keeps them entertained
Playbrush is such a smart device! It transform into a game controller once your Kid starts brushing his/her teeth! The character in the game follows the movement of your kid because of it's motion sensor in the PlayBrush, so at the same time keeping him/her entertained while brushing their teeth. They will never felt like brushing their teeth is such a chore anymore!

Motivates them to brush their teeth longer
​It kinds of motivates them to brush their teeths for a longer duration because they need to score in the game, or it just simply keeps them entertained to at least keep brushing longer than usual!

Brushing at the right places
A specific game algorithm helps children to brush for long enough and everywhere in their mouth.  There is also a reward system to encourage children to brush more accurately and regularly. 

Adults can play too!
The PlayBrush device allows more than one game profile (up to 6).  So if you feel like trying out the device, you can also create one for yourself.  It fits ANY regular toothbrush.

I know for sure that Dominic will dig this because we restricted him with the iPad. He is never allowed to play iPad for more than an hour a day. So if I were to tell him he can play iPad while brushing his teeth, I think he will be so surprised and happy that he gets extra time with iPad.

Watch the below video and take a look at Dominic's 1st attempt at using this toothbrushing game controller device.

He is definitely enjoying it, because I have never seen him brushing his teeth so seriously(he looked god-damn serious while trying to play the game at the same time, so funny), and for so long! Hahaha!! And he had a few 'Well Done! Pop-ups during the game! He brushed for a record-breaking 2 minutes! That is 1 minute more than his past history!! Wow, this Playbrush is really something. It is more efficient than the naggings from me or my mil or my Husband combined or the whip available in the house. -___________-

After he finishes the game and done brushing his teeth, he said it's really fun and he wanted more!

Yay! I'm so so glad he enjoyed this product and Playbrush definitely proven the effectiveness of motivating the kids to brush their teeth with it!
Below is an image of Dominic's score. It is so amazing that it shows which direction that Dominic misses during the game and should improve on that. So as you can see, he actually did pretty well overall and needs to work on his 'Outer Right' moves. Wow. I'm impressed with this product.

Bento Box Lunch Ideas for primary school

7/14/2016

0 Comments

 
My son is going to Primary School next year! 
As an over-protective mum, I started to worry about every single thing, i'm so worried my 6 year old couldn't queue up and use the money to buy food on his own, I'm so worried that he wouldn't be able to finish his food on time during recess time because it's only half an hour and probably 10 mins is used to queue up and buy food.  I'm so worried that he wouldn't be able to find an empty sit in the crowded canteen... The list is endless...... I'm sure a lot of mums worries about the same things like me!

That's when the bento box lunch idea came up.  After googling up a little, i'm so super inspired and determined to make bentos for my son!  Even if it means waking up earlier than usual.  I can also make use of my new Airfryer! 

Here's some interesting links:-

http://www.annathered.com/2010/08/10/20-easy-bento-for-kids/

I love the beautiful bentos idea and i'm sure my son will find it interesting.  I made this post to keep record of what I've found and also to make a list of what I might need for making bentos.

List of food/ingredients I need:-
- Seaweed
- Nutella/Peanut Butter/Strawberry Jam/Kaya
- Bread
- Cookies
- Biscuits/Crackers/Chips
- Sausages
- Cheese
- Ham
- Fruits (Banana,  Apple, Berries, Strawberries)
- Nuggets
- Rice
- Noodle
- Egg
- Waffle
- Carrot
- Corn
- Cereal Crackers
- Peanuts/Cashew nuts

Packet Drinks:-
- Milo
- Milk
- Fruit Juice

I have also started looking for cute animal/character bread cutters and rice/food moulds online to decorate the bento. 

The advantage of bringing bento to school is cutting down the time of queuing and buying food!

SIMPLISTIQ AESTHETICS CLINIC: Q-Switched Laser

7/13/2016

0 Comments

 
I saw a lot of raves about the Q-Switched Laser by Simplistiq Aesthetics Clinic so decided to make an appointment to try out their trial session. 

About Q-Switched Laser
The Q-switched laser can help treat acne and prevent pimples. It also very thoroughly cleanses the skin and remove blackheads and whiteheads. Other than that, the laser also removes pigmentation and acne marks while brightening up the skin, making it more radiant.

The number of sessions required for each benefit differs. For acne control and treatment, it takes about 4-6 treatments. For pigmentation and acne marks, it usually requires slightly longer at about 7-8 treatments. To brighten skin and make it fairer and radiant, it usually takes about 3-5 sessions. Cleansing of the skin is performed during each treatment.


My skin condition is quite good, so I shared that my main concerns are to maintain radiant and clear skin because I put on make up almost daily.

I didn't took photos of any before and after on the day of the treatment itself because I had no intention of blogging about it.  However after the session, I realized that all the blackheads on my nose are gone.  Skin is also visibly fairer.  I should have taken some photos to prove my point!  Anw, I'm looking forward to my next session in August with Simplistiq!  If you are interested to give it a try please visit their website:- http://www.simplistiq.sg/ to enquire.
Dr Tan is very friendly! :)

Bejeweled @ breadtalk ihq: manicure & pedicure / Gel nails / nail arts review

When I arrived for my manicure & pedicure session BreadTalk IHQ outlet, the staffs wasted no time and started with me right away. 
I am sure most ladies are familiar with the steps of a manicure/pedicure session but here's a quick recap of what they had done:-

  • Soaked my feet in warm water
  • Disinfect of nails
  • Cutting and shaping/filing of nails
  • removing of cuticles / remove foot callouses
  • buffing of nails, etc to prepare for nail color application

I would say the steps are quite standard and doesn't differ much from any other nail salons.  The manicurists suggest that I do gel for both hands and feet because it dries almost instantly! It's my first time doing gel nails so I was amazed.  Because in the past, 98% of my manicured nails will end up badly smudged by the 2nd or 3rd day.  It is frustrating. 
I'm sure gel nails is not something new to ladies who did manicures very often, so please pardon a mother of 2 like me who simply had no time to do these for a long long time!
The manicurist asked me to choose the colour and nail designs I want for my hands and feet.
At this point, I'm spoilt for choices.  They have very unique nail art designs, especially the hand-drawn ones!  I believe these are one of their selling-point!  Nail Salons are everywhere, their services are largely the same but there's always something unique that sets each of these salons apart.  So If you are looking to get very pretty nail designs & arts, look no where but Bejeweled!!  They have hundreds of designs for you to choose from for ANY occasions!  Even if nothing caught your eye from their collection, you can also show them your own image/design that you want. 

After choosing my desired nail arts, they started to apply the gel on my nails.
- Base Coat
- Two layers of color coat
- Nail art / nail glitter / mirrornail design
- Top Coat
Each coats are carefully applied to perfection.

The silver-like coating u seen on my alternate fingers are called the 'mirrornail design', they told me its in trend now, again, I'm totally unaware of the trends right now. So I just went along with whatever they suggested as long it looks nice!
Here's some snippets of their services.  They also had a wide-range of facial treatments which you can see from their website. 
Loving my bling nails!

For my feet, I had chosen an Eiffel Tower nail art for the big toe.  So nice and unique isn't it?!  The design I chosen for my fingers are rather simple as I reckon it is too hard to maintain no matter what kind of designs I've did.  But I love the shine effect of the mirrornails.  My session was done in 1 and a half hours because my hand and feet was done at the same time, and gel nails dries instantly so there's no need to sit and wait for it to dry like what seems forever.
