I have done a fair share of cake ordering as I have 4 kids especially in the earlier years I do spend time looking for unique and special cakes for every birthday celebration. I think I had ordered all possible versions – fondant, cream, pinata, pull apart cupcake, jelly cake , ice cream etc. And as I thought I have seen them all, I saw these trending dreamy cakes from Honeypeachsg Bakery 

Established in 2019, Honeypeachsg Bakery is a boutique bakery by two passionate artisanal cake artists who believed in creating pretty yet tasty cakes. They limit the use of fondant decorations in their cakes (which I totally agree as I have not been ordering fondant cakes for long time) as it is quite wasteful and don’t come cheap. In exchange, they do a wide variety of cakes – floral, gender reveal, korean bento, wedding cakes, a cake for every occasion. 

Design wise, they do a minimalist approach but their cakes are aesthetically designed just like the dreamy one I ordered. I have not seen anything quite like this before in my years of ordering cake, and I knew the perfect recipient for such a cake, myself! Yes I have shameless order my own birthday cake as it is too pretty to resist, I knew I had to have it for my birthday this year! In fact, there were so many dreamy cakes I wanted to order that I was spoilt for choice, it was a toss between White Swan and Fairies, I finally chose Fairies as it was in pink and adorned with pink roses! In fact, their best selling designs are Fairies, Misty Butterflies and White Swan.

Ordering was also seamless via their website, and you can choose for pickup or delivery.

I ordered the 6 inch Fairies cake and it arrived in good order in this beautiful see-thru box.  Even before I unbox it , I can see how pretty and dreamy the cake is! All my favourite elements – roses, pink cut out butterfly and the dreamy tulle outlining the cake in my favourite flavour!

I also ordered 2 boxes of macarons as an add on as my kids love this sweet treat. They also have a range of desserts to order for sweet tooth like my kids such as  cupcakes, brownies, cookies, cream puffs. In fact you can add special candles, topper or even a bouquet of flowers to make your gifting extra special. Shall let the picture do the talking as there are no words how beautiful is this cake, I dare say the most beautiful birthday cake I ever had! 

So the next test, is whether it tastes as good as it looks! I requested for double chocolate crunch which is their best selling flavour (other being Strawberry Shortcake and Hojicha White Chocolate which are also their best sellers ) and it did not disappoint, so moist n not too overly sweet. Their cakes are frosted with fresh whipped cream to ensure the softness of the texture. 

There is a promo of $9.90 for delivery fee and free delivery for order above $150.

 Visit www.honeypeachsg.com for all their amazing designs for any occasion! I believe you will have a hard time (like me) choosing the cake that you want to order as every cake is aesthetically designed and the taste is as good as it looks! They are also able to customise cakes and cake flavours to match your party theme.  Do check out special promotions where selected cake are released at a discount price with free cake delivery every month.

I am a big fan of LUMOS series of projectors, check out my previous reviews for LUMOS RAY SMART  LUMOS NANO  and LUMOS MOOD lighting projector . I cannot be more thrilled to review their first ever wireless earbuds LUMOS TEMPO. LUMOS is known for great quality products at good affordability #supportlocal , this is no different with its latest innovation LUMOS TEMPO. 

At First Sight

Sporting a white finishing with grey earbuds, a very compact size, with a minimalistic design for any gender or age! You can easily pop into your pocket or your clutch or handbag. Comes with another 2 more different sizing of earbuds  and charging cable.

Using It

So what sets LUMOS TEMPO apart of the rest in the rest in the market ?

Active Noise Cancelling  is a feature in most premium earbuds, LUMOS TEMPO cancel up to 42db while the rest in the market are at 30db. This means you have clearer sound quality with zero distraction, true to its original quality.  This is activated simply by double tapping the right ear bud. 

Another feature that sets LUMOS TEMPO apart from the rest in the market is its  Trinity360 Sound Quality, which give an all around sound like being in an orchestra. LUMOS TEMPO has 6 mics, 3 mics on each side for clearer call quality.

Transparency mode, or the opposite of ANC is basically mean you can hear the surrounding especially when you are on the go so that you can still enjoy your music but still be aware of your surroundings. 

For those with an active lifestyle, being sweat and water resistant, rated IPX5, you can use it for your exercise routine, run session and also outdoor adventures . 

Using the latest Bluetooth technology 5.2 to transmit data, there is more seamless transferring of audio and better compatibility with other devices. To pair with your phone, just switch on the bluetooth and search for LUMOS TEMPO, cant get any easier. 

With such awesome specs mentioned above, TEMPO is still able to last a whopping 30 hours battery life which is 7 hours on one charge and 23 hours when charging in the carrying case. For me, I watch an episode of K drama before bed, so this could probably last me a month before needing to charge it again! 

Loving It

I love how sleek and handy it is and I can’t rave enough of its amazing sound quality and seamless pairing.  I am so glad LUMOS has come up with another awesome product and like their other products, it is at an affordable price too!

Priced at only SGD 179 with Free Delivery (SG and MY only)  and 1 year local warranty. ! The LUMOS TEMPO is now available for purchase directly via their website.

The kind folks at LUMOS has provided me 2 sets LUMOS TEMPO wireless earbuds worth SGD 179 each to be given away for my loyal followers

Especially for my younger kids who are in lower primary, for the school holidays they can have time to  explore more non academic workshops and activities. Else , when it comes to upper primary they may not have such luxury  of time any more even during the school hols,  especially in P5 and P6 . My favourite camp organiser has to be with Newton Show, This is the 3rd camp for my two boys, having joined the Harry Potter camp in Dec 2020, and Harry Potter Maker in Sept 2021, finally they can do something non Harry Potter for a change! Especially if you have kids with a variety of interests, or simply don’t really know where their interest lies, check out Newton Show latest and very popular – Multi Activity Camp. 

Housed in 278 River Valley, this 4-storey building which was conceptualised during Covid and  is structured to house different activities at different levels , highest level is for art, level 3 for cooking, level 2 for maker and robotic, ground floor is for science, truly a plethora of activities under 1 roof! 

A quick tour of location the boys had their camp which is an awesome location.

Every day of the camp, the kids are segregated by age group and also by activities, due to different ages of my boys, they were not grouped together and experienced different activities on the same day. 1 day small C was doing his cooking lessons, while small J dabbled in maker activities.

Hence are some of the snapshots of the boys throughout the 5 days of this multi activity camp (as provided by camp organiser daily)

Cooking – pizza muffin, banana cupcakes, homemade marshmallow cookie sandwich

Art – Rice workshop, newspaper art, sand workshop, coffee painting

Robotics – Robonews , Colour coding robots, frog robot, lego robotics and robo battler

Science – big bang experiment, bubble workshop, periscope, chemical battle

Maker day –  light up card, kevaplank competition, STEM boats, lego competition 

I asked the boys of the 5 days which day is their favourite

Small J: Robotics as  I get to instruct where the robot goes and also play with Lego robotics!

Small C: Robotics as I get to build my own robot! 

I guess for the next holiday, they will definitely prefer to attend all 5 days at their sister camp Maker as their interest seems to be with robotics. That said, I am sure they had awesome every single day of the camp doing so many different activities. 

This is truly one very fulfilling camp as there is never a dull moment, or a boring day as every day is so so different. After this camp, I am sure my kids are more aware of their own interest and some may like them all too which is also fine. Even though Newton Show has started out as the pioneer science camp in Singapore, they have gone on to provide a myriad of activities to complement their main offering science (in my honest opinion, this is the most fun segment !)

Check out their other camps if you have kids who have very keen interest in science , arts or cooking.

For the camp fee of SGD 630, it is an all-inclusive camp – all materials, 2 snacks, lunch, t-shirt, photo, certificate and prizes included and they will provide daily video (the only camp in Singapore that sends you a daily video). I totally appreciate their effort to compile and update the parents on a daily basis of the happenings in camp (most of the photos shared in this blog post is credit to them) so that we can talk about it at the end of the day and share their excitement too!

For the second week, it will be transferring to the proper art work based on week 1 sketch. Then using watercolour cake, his teacher will teach how to blend and bring different shades to bring ingredients and dish to life. 

Update 3 months later 

I have gone back to see Dr Mark Lim for an update after 3 months of my Ultherapy treatment. See the before and after photo, I am sold by the amazing results of this treatment. I have a more V-shaped face with a more defined jawline. The part I am more impressed with is my double chin has visible reduced which was what I requested to focus on during the treatment. My cheeks and mid-face have more volume hence probably shaving some years of my real age too! Overall I am extremely pleased with the effect of Ultherapy! 

I do that care of my skin quite well with regular monthly facials. However, with sign of aging and sagging skin, this is not something that a regular facial would be able to address.  I came to know a highly raved non invasive treatment called Ultherapy which helps to lift skin with the production of collagen. As this is my first ever aesthetic treatment, I am not brave enough to try for an invasive treatment, so Ultherapy ticks all the boxes that I am looking for.  I am glad I did my first aesthetic treatment at Halley Medical Aesthetic and here’s my review on the Ultherapy treatment. 

What is Ultherapy®?

Ultherapy® is the only skin tightening treatment approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) to lift the skin from within. It delivers focused ultrasound energy to the deepest SMAS (superficial muscular aponeurotic system) layer of the skin to stimulate collagen production for a natural, effective lifting and contouring. Best of all, there is no surgery and downtime involved for this procedure.  Other than the full face, it is also suitable for the spot treatment of delicate areas such as our eyebags, cheeks, jowl area, brows, neck, and chest. 

In layman terms, Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound energy to stimulate growth of fresh collagen to support our skin from within, giving us supple skin and a natural lift. Due to its stimulation of own collagen growth, you wont see immediate effect, but within 1 to 3 months will you will able to see the results. 

As it is non invasive,  there is no surgery and downtime involved for this procedure –  all down in under an 1 hour and the effect can last for 1 year.

Ultherapy introduced the See Plan Treat protocol, and it is an extension of using the real-time ultrasound imaging technology to deliver the micro-focused ultrasound energy to the correct depth in our skin for optimal results, and Halley Medical Aesthetics is now an Ultherapy SPT-Certified aesthetics clinic in Singapore. 

The main components of the Ultherapy SPT (See Plan Treat) protocol:
– SEE: Includes sound knowledge of the relevant anatomy and using visualization technology to identify the target tissue
– PLAN: Document the target tissue to map out the treatment plan
– TREAT: Safely deliver energy to where it will be most beneficial while ensuring proper treatment technique

Of the many aesthetic clinics offering Ultherapy® why did I choose Halley Medical Aesthetic?

From my research, I found a lot of useful information on aesthetic treatment from  @halleymedicalaesthetics . You can also check out their comprehensive website and a YouTube channel for an idea what goes on during a treatment. They also list their prices on their website  – so its transparent with no hidden charges. 

During my consultation Dr Mark Lim, I felt at ease and assured of his knowledge and expertise as he is the one who will be performing the treatment on me. He was also able to answer all the burning questions that I have – such as the after effect of the treatment and if there is anything to avoid post treatment. 

Ultherapy consultation

Treatment

Numbing cream is applied to the treatment area before the procedure to make the treatment more comfortable. After 20 minutes, the numbing cream will be washed off and the ultrasound gel will be applied to the face to prepare for the treatment.

Oral medication is also given for reducing the discomfort during treatment.

Applying numbing cream

In fact,  I did feel a slight discomfort at the onset as the intensity was the highest to penetrate deeper into the skin. However, after the first 15 minutes, I was accustomed to the sensation and didn’t feel much thereafter, completely relaxed as Dr Lim finished the entire area of my face – neck, under eye, forehead etc. Cool air is also blown towards the treatment area during the process to reduce the discomfort during the treatment.

Throughout the treatment process, the doctor will do an ultrasound imaging of the treated area to ensure that the ultrasound energy reaches the correct depth of my skin for optimal results. My treatment took around 60 minutes to complete. 

Starting my Ultherapy treatment

Post Treatment

There is no special post-treatment maintenance, the only thing is probably just to avoid facial for a few days as the face will be sore. In fact, there was a hardly any downtime as I continued with my daily routine of work and driving my kids for their activities right after my treatment.  There some soreness on the first few days – like muscle ache, but if you can take painkillers if you find it too unbearable. Optimal results are expected in about three months’ time.

I’ll update this post with my results. Can’t wait to share my 3-month results with you.

In terms of myFirst Camera Insta Wi look and feel , it does look very much like its predecessor myFirst Camera Insta 2  (see full review here) – read on what are the new upgrades making this a great addition if u don’t already own one!

At first sight

Size wise and weight wise, it is  very similar to that of myFirst Camera Insta 2 which I think was a great size for kids’ hand. One of the biggest difference is that this camera comes with a cradle which I think its really good so that you have it propped up when printing photo and labels.  It comes with a lanyard which is perfect so that the camera can be sling and worn over the neck. This camera comes  with 5 rolls of thermal paper  and stickers  (if you run out ,you can purchase them from their webstore too). Being a kids’ device, they also provide decorative stickers to personalise your camera too! 

in comparison with Insta 2

With all being so equal, so what makes this an upgrade ? 

Loving it

Regular air purifier for heavy duty air purification is not one that you can bringing and move around. Typically it stays at one location permanently, but if you are looking for some more portable that you can carry it around even to the car , check out Starke Living Air Purifier 

Thanks for the battery capacity of 10,000 mAh for fast USD charging, light weight and compact 16*16*26.8cm with a portable handle design, you can put this air purifier anywhere bathroom, living room, dining room, car etc. Yes it is so portable !

Don’t be fooled by the size, it does come with what an air purifier does  – disinfect and sterilize with the release of negative ions to purify the air using 3 types of filters (Primary Filter, Activated Carbon Filter, HEPA Filter). It has a 360 degree air circulation and an area coverage of 10-15 square meters –  pretty powerful for such a compact air purifier. 

There is also an automatic and manual mode for wind speed , smart LED display of settings, ambient air quality and battery life. They have also added a comfortable night light  and a noise level: <52.3dB

The best part for these features, is a good price of SGD 150! If you are looking for some air purification but you need the portability of putting in different locations in your home or even in your car, this is your best bet!

Besides carrying this air purifier, Starke Living also known for luxury  bathroom (https://starkeliving.com/shop/bathtubs/) and toilet bowl (https://starkeliving.com/shop/toilet-bowls/)

I am a big fan of LUMOS series of projectors, check out my previous reviews for LUMOS RAY SMART and LUMOS NANO

And they have launched a brand new LUMOS MOOD lighting projector and have asked me to give them their verdict. Truth to be told , the only projector that I know of are the ones that project movies like the LUMOS RAY SMART and LUMOS NANO. So I was really intrigued by the concept of their latest – LUMOS MOOD lighting projector which can serve as a backdrop for photo taking, party backdrop and for me transforming my kids room into a soothing environment for sleep! 

At First Sight

It is definitely not as small as LUMOS NANO but it is not at all bulky. At 160 x 160 x 80mm at a mere 600g, it is actually very portable if you wish to bring it to the party venue too! Comes with a remote control and cable , it is really idiot proof – plug and pla.

Using It

Once it is plugged on , witness the superior Tri-Colour projection on an area coverage as huge as 300″. That is not all, you can, you can also pipe in music via the bluetooth speaker so that you get both the mood and the accompany music to suit the mood and background. See below for sample video. 

The projector is also built for 4-way placement , you can project in front, at an angle and upwards to the ceiling too – super versatile for any type of room and space. 

Using a remote control, you can do a full customisation mood as well  – with stars , without star , with moon, without mood, red or green, brightness, and also timer function too! Quite nifty I must say so you don’t have only have 1 look and feel but several different setting , mood dependent! 

Check out some of the different mood set through this video.

Loving It

When I first heard of this, I really didn’t think much of it or how would I use this on a day to day basis or even more special occasions. On the first day it arrived,  since it was a plug and play device, I was also super intrigued by this mood projector. It was the weekend, so my kids were “allowed” to sleep with us in the master bedroom so I had the projector on and the music playing through my handphone – some Disney songs for bedtime. I thought it was a one of a kind experience -quite magical to see stars and moon above – even as an adult, I was so impressed what more the kids! Now the kids want to have the same experience every night, yes but not in my room!  

Check out their Launch Specials of SGD 99 (RP SGD 189) 45% off with Free Delivery and 1 year local warranty. ! The LUMOS MOOD Lighting Projector is now available for purchase directly via their website at https://lumosprojector.com/mypreciouzkids
