Favourite Baby Beauty Products 2019


Ziizayne is turning 5 years old in less than 10 days, and I'm quite surprised that I have never done a baby beauty post!

There isn't a lot of baby bath/beauty brands here in India, so I seem to rotate among only a few brands. Also, I'm staying away from skincare products that have Parabens.

This year, these baby bath & beauty products are my favourites.....

Cute Toddler Things


The first time Ziizayne asked me to buy this panda set at a store, I told him they're all broken & I'd search online instead. To him, this "ONLINE" is a magical place.
To me, it's where the discounts are (read: Firstcry)


Skip Hop Panda Plate, Bowl, Spoon & Fork Set 
(Don't you just LOVE Skip Hop stuff? So many animals to choose from!)

Mothercare Car Embossed Sweater

Hot Wheels 50th Anniversary Volkswagen Beetle Checkmate Pawn.

If you're interested in the sweet props ~ Alpenliebe Strawberry & Soulfull Multigrain Loopies... and another Hot Wheels car just like that 😋

Bought this for myself, because he didn't want to buy it (twice!) But now he wants it.
I gave it to him - in exchange for a Hot Wheels Minion Car ;p




Happy Weekend, Everyone!



*This is a scheduled post, as I'm travelling today. 
Speak again on Monday.*

20 Months In Mommyland....



Me: "Baby, say Mommy. Mommm-mmmy. Can you say Mommy?"

Ziizayne: "tuhpaashukarruhkuh..."

Me: "No, baby. Say, Mommmm-mmmmeeeee."

Ziizayne: "kafuhrraratuh...."

Me: "C'mon baby pie, you can say it. Say Mama..."

Ziizayne: "tuhtuheeeyo..."

Me: "Maaaaa......"

Ziizayne: "taotaofuhfuhshuh...."


Me: "Okay, then."


About 10 minutes later:


Me: BABY, NOOOOO!!! HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU NOT TO STAND ON MY LAPTOP???!!! YOU WANT ME TO SLAP YOU?!!!

Ziizayne: "Mamamamamama....." *Jumps on me, grabs my face &presses his drooly mouth on my cheek* 

Me: "Awwwww....are you saying Mommy? You are so smart, my baby!!!"


******

And that's the only time he ever really said that. He says "Mom-mom", but to my utter disappointment he means his pacifier or sometimes food =D

He can say "Cars" (his obsession) & he tries to say "Shoes",  but no "Mommy". Little bugger.

He is 20 months old today. Yup, a toddler who can't even lie still when I change his diaper! You should see me after his bath time. I always look like I'd just crawled from the Sahara Desert.


Will have to end this post abruptly guys.

We're in Hong Kong at the moment. Wanted to take this one to Disneyland

He watches Lion King, Tangled, Frozen, Wreck It Ralph, from start to finish like he can understand everything, so I hope he'll be thrilled! 

As for me, I didn't pack much from India (not even an eyeshadow palette!) *grins*


Haul?
Disneyland photos?


They're coming. Promise.

Mistakes Of A Sale-Crazy Mommy


1st time: 40% OFF

2nd time: 50% OFF


Mistakes Made: TWICE.....


From: Mothercare


Sizes: All same, except for 1. 

Lesson Learned: Never buy lots of baby clothes, leave them in the shopping bag, and then forget what all you've bought. Also, take a quick look at brand new clothes before next shopping trip.




Imagine my face when I found two two - in a minute!

Have you other Mommies made this mistake?
Please tell me I'm not the only one! =D

When September Ends.....


So I was listening to Radio One (94.3 FM) in the car one evening,
Male RJ.
Topic: Contest-type. Listeners (People?) had to call and say....

"Whenever I see you, I just want to pick my nose."

'Pick My Nose'! I swear I'm not making this up!
They had to say it in the most seductive way.
They had to make it sound sexy.
Oh, and the winner was gonna win some prize I can't remember.
Movie tickets? Restaurant meal?
Okay, I really can't recall!
Must have been a very unappealing prize. 
The callers really really.....tried their best.
I got to listen to about 3 callers.
 The RJ listened - I wondered if he was trying hard not to LOL - and politely gave each of them a pat on their backs for trying their (*cough* orno) best.
"That's really good."
"Oh, wow!"
And then the one memorable tickler.....

Woman: "Whenever I see you *moans*.... I just....mmm....*groans* want to....mmmmm.....pick my nose...... rawwwrrr!"
(In my head: This woman is standing in her kitchen, in black yoga pants, cup of tea in hand, looking out the window, waiting for the vegetable wala to deliver the fresh gobhi/cauliflower. Kids will be back from tuition in 20, and hubby in 60.)

RJ: "That was very good. I'm really turned on right now." 
(In my head: He's bored, thinking about Jack Daniel's.... and before he could stop himself, puts his index finger up one nostril.)

I'm sorry to say that we'll never know what happened next, because I had to get out of the car.

That's life.  
Short Journeys = Interesting/Funny radio programs, New Releases, Top-something/HIT songs.
Long Journeys = MmmBop, Ads, Queen, Ads, Chefs, Education, Kejriwal.

............

Speaking of nose-related things, whenever I wear sunglasses, my eyes always notice my nose first. Especially in photos. I don't know, even my nostrils seem bigger than usual.

Which means: Sunnies can hide careless in-a-rush eye makeup application, but not a dirty nose. Don't make 'em want to pick your nose! =D

Okay, now I'll stop saying "NOSE" now.

This is an end-of-summer look that I meant to post, like, a week ago......


Sunglasses: Forever 21

Lipstick: I was obsessed with orange-y lippies for a while. Here, I'm wearing Colorbar Definer Lip Liner in Peach Cocktail....

Baby Bather I LOVE!


Hey, Everyone! Hope you're all doing well =)

Since I got several requests from new Mommies to make posts on baby stuff, I decided to post some on this blog.

The first product I'd like to RAVE about is this bathing chair. Really, I don't know what I'd do without it!

The one thing I was very very nervous about was bathing my baby (whose name is Ziizayne, if you missed reading my post on IVC here), especially in a tub or sink - like some people do. Plus, I think they're too hard for babies. Because of this chair, I could bathe him without any help after the 1st month.

The fabric is net, so you can even place the chair in a tub. It can be adjusted into 2 seating positions - higher & lower.

Just to be extra cautious, I place a rubber bathroom mat under it, to prevent it from slipping.

Thoughtful Mr.CZ bought it the day after Ziizayne was born from a kids store called Dezine Kids


Name: Mastela Mother's Touch Baby Bather.

Price:  It was for only Rs.600 from the store. But it costs more online.

In case you're interested, I see it's sold on Amazon & there are other designs too here

I think the other Deluxe styles with a pillow (or head cushion?) is even better.....
Actually, I might get this too! It looks more comfy =)



What do you other Mommies use to bathe your little ones?


Thank You for reading, all! <3

Until next time....

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Hey,Everyone! Just wanted to wish you all a Merry MERRY Christmas! Hope you had a lovely & blessed day with your loved ones. Sharing a few family pics we clicked today. Most of them came out a lil' blurry, coz it was a quick photo session after a long day of lunch & fun with the family.
Bubbles was very sleepy here, so he wasn't in the mood to smile (he looks depressed actually.... haha!) He smiles & tries to talk now! =D

MAC Lady Danger Lipstick ~ LOTD, Swatches

Hello, Everyone! How have you all been? It seems like I haven't done a post like this in sooo long! This is my first LOTD after childbirth and, as you can see, the little one woke up from his afternoon nap. He was actually fussing there. Face/Neck scratching & hair pulling.....Ahh, where are those mittens?!!! And I had to wipe off that lipstick fast fast, because......
MAC Lady Danger Lipstick (Matte) ~ Described as Vivid bright coral-red. I got MAC Lady Danger mainly because I wanted an orange version of MAC Ruby Woo, my most favorite red lipstick EVER, and the vivid coral is punctuated by just the right amount of red to make it exactly what I had in mind. Well, almost exactly what I had in mind.....

Shoes Of The Day


How CUTE are these??!!!

Although I'm not a sporty-shoes-converse-sneakers kinda gal, I just LOVE them on kids (...and men, for that matter!)


I'm waiting for a pair of denim dungarees to arrive so I can dress up my baby.

Can't wait! =)


Sorry I haven't posted here for a long time. Life's been super busy that I feel I'm living on another planet!


Thank You for reading & I'll talk to you again very soon! =)

Introducing Baby CZ.....

HELLO! First of all, I missed you all!!! I feel like I haven't blogged for many months! And if you don't follow my Instagram & Facebook Page and was wondering where me & my baby disappeared to, Baby CZ is a BOY!!! High 5 to all of you who've been commenting "I think it's a Boy."  =)
And I kinda knew from the beginning - more on that at the end of this post. Since some of you want a delivery story, I'll quickly jot down the highlights (Sorry in advance for any typos & if my story-telling seem rushed!) .....

Late Baby CZ


That's right, still no Baby CZ!

It's about 6 days late (8th Oct was the EDD), so it has to be induced today, especially since it's estimated weight has crossed 3.5 kg. Doctor said can't wait, coz then it'll be difficult if it gets bigger.

They've done a membrane sweep this morning, and I'll be checking into the hospital in the afternoon for further induction. So birth will probably happen tomorrow, the 14th October.




Thank You to all who've sent me emails & messages wanting an update. It means a lot to me <3

 Will post on my Instagram & Facebook Page once Baby CZ arrives. 

We will finally know - BOY or GIRL...phew! =D


Talk again soon!

Maxi Dress Outfit & Maternity Shoot ~ For Bubbles....

 
Bubbles, you're so heavy!
It makes me want to bend on all fours to get you off my spine....
Like a cat - MEOW!
Okay, we should do a "Maternity Shoot"
I dress up and pose and show off how big we've gotten,
You try not to headbutt my bladder like you want to evict it.
Hmm....How.....Where?
Most people seem to go to serene forest-type places....
with trees and daisies and magical-looking sun rays 
that kiss their flower headbands delicately.
And they hire pro photographers.
No, we aren't 'most people'.
No, we are not going to a forest.
You & I will do low-budget DIY shoot.
But, on the bright side.....
We'll get to wear high heels.....

Happy Sunday, Everyone! Just a little post before I go on to do my Sunday chores, and catch up with the new season of Grey's Anatomy.

Baby CZ's 1st Fashion Haul

Hello, Everyone! Hope you had a good weekend. So yesterday, I washed all these brand new & pristine baby clothes. But I decided to click pics before I popped them in the washer.
I got all of these from Mothercare last month when they had a sale going on, so most of them were 30-50% off. We don't know the sex of Baby CZ yet, so we had to pick only gender neutral colors and prints. It wasn't easy, coz there weren't many choices. Girl Babies are spoiled for choice, I must say! =)
These are a set of 8 pieces.


Set of 3 bodysuits. 
White mittens came in a separate pack.


This blanket is also available in Pink & Blue. I almost bought the pink one for myself years ago when we were buying stuff for my S-I-L's newborn. Just because I liked it so much ;p

I emptied a section of my closet for baby clothes. So nice I am ;p =D

I couldn't help it! =D



Hope you liked the haul. I've still got a lot to learn. 

It'll be more easier & fun once I know exactly what to look for and what to stay away from.




Have a good week all!

Thank You for reading, talk again soon.

What I Wore, Etc

Hi, Everyone! Hope you all had a great weekend. Thought I'd quickly post some pics from the mini holiday a.k.a. 'Babymoon'. I didn't pack much, so I stuck to 1 bag & 1 pair of shoes.

I'm loving both these dresses, coz I don't look too pregnant in them. But, either way,  my bump doesn't show much in pics, for some reason. I think Baby CZ is camera shy, coz it hid its face even during my last ultrasound =D
Outfit #1:
Zara Dress With Slit Shoulders | Lino Perros Bag | My favorite pregnancy flat shoes (shown here)


Outfit #2:
Vero Moda Ruffle Dress | Same Lino Perros Bag | Same Shoes

L'Opera, Select City Walk


Breakfast desserts

 Ramen Noodles at Yo! China Cafe, DLF Place. They tasted H-O-R-R-I-B-L-E! >.< (I don't know, I never like Yo! China food.)

Virgin Mary at Geoffrey's, Select City Walk. Love this pub! Drinks & food - both good.





Thank You for reading & I'll see you again soon.

Have a great week! =)
