Goodies from abroad!

A bunch of goodies came in the mail last night! Oh how my priorities have changed. I used to receive packages of clothes, cosmetics and shoes and now, it's baby toiletries and breast pump packages.

 

Spectra M1

But lookie at this baby! I'm so excited to receive this! I've done extensive research on pumps and it seems like Spectra (Cimilre) is steadily gaining popularity with mummies in Singapore! Online reviews have said that this pump works more effectively than Medela and Avent and I'm really not keen on spending $600-$800 on pumps when I'm not even sure if I'm going to be a mummy with supply. The whole set cost me $200 inclusive of shipping, with the pump itself just costing $120. So.damn.cheap. Buy!!

Next up is my parcel from iherb. I love iherb! Iherb is a supplements, toiletries and health products heaven with the cheapest shipping rates in the world! Only S$4 for a large box of toiletries to Singapore! Feel free to use my discount code EWU596 for an instant $10 off your first purchase of $40 or more, or $5 off smaller orders.

my poor baby's shampoo!!

But just when my love for iherb is soaring, the recent package gave me a nasty shock. The pricey organic baby shampoo and body wash which I bought for the little one got opened mid-shipping and has spilled inside the unfastened ziplock which eventually flowed out to the rest of my stuff. 

Man... I spent the whole night cleaning up the sticky soapy mess on the rest of my stuff and decided to write to iherb customer service the next day. They apologized and have refunded me for the spilled shampoo. Pretty top notch customer service if you ask me. Why more can I ask? :)

 

I also bought Johnson's baby honey apple wash because it sounds like it'll smell awesome and it does! Plus I've never actually seen this sold in Singapore.

 

 

And a foaming hand sanitizer because, I reckon I'll be sanitizing my hands like 2854 times a day and I don't want my hands to dry up.

 

 

Along with my favourite shampoo from iherb!

 

I love this shampoo. Cleans and lathers well, and makes my hair really soft.

 

Had an urge to pop by Sun Moulin at Isetan Scotts to buy some cheese mochi to fix my cheesey cravings. However, it pains me to pay $2.80 for 3 pieces and so I went online and researched for a recipe, got some cheese and decided to attempt to replicate the famous cheese mochi.

 

Turns out, it was so so easy! No need to pay ridiculous amount for cheese mochi anymore!!

 

 

My beautiful babies in the oven

One whole plate of cheese mochi just for me!

I'm soo happy with my first attempt! Hubby took a bite and gave me a thumbs up. This will be a good snack to serve my guests this Sunday for our housewarming party. :)

More goodies from abroad enroute to me! Will share more when they arrive!
