Family Maternity Shoot With Fionboon Photography

🥳 ~ Second blog post of the year ~ 🥳

With a series of VERY BEAUTIFUL shots of my Family Maternity Shoot with @fionboonphotography 📸, following up from the previous sharing of my Boudoir Maternity Shoot (link here).

As I mentioned in my previous sharing that I've taken my maternity shoots earlier this round cuz' my bump is MUCH larger plus I just wanted to be safe to make sure I get everything done before Baby J. arrives cuz' her 2nd Jie2 came a preemie. So by 31 weeks I was already ready for my shoot, and not that tired to do two shoots!!

Typically maternity shoots are taken from week 30-35, depending on the size of Mummy’s bump, and if you’re carrying one or two babies. I had my photos taken for my No.1 at around 36w cuz’ I wasn’t showing much then, and for No.2 was about 34w. This round No.3 is growing like no body’s business so at week 31 I was already huge!

Anyways both my maternity shoots with Fionboon Photography went smoothly and the photos turned out great~!! Frankly speaking out of all the 3 times I shot for maternity for my 3 pregnancies, I'm loving the photos this round most... I’m SOOOO HAPPY & in love!! 😍 Not paid to share/show my photos and defo not a paid advertorial but b’cuz I’m so in love with the photos I decided to share them with you guys. Hope you like them too!

  

(Pricing is for 2020)

Typically the maternity shoot would take about 2 to 3 hours in total if you're gonna have your make up done at the studio. The shoot itself takes about 1 to 1.5 hours and the makeup another 1 to 1.5 hours. The Family Maternity Photoshoot starts from $450 and cost for makeup is separately charged (see package photo for details). For more details of the rates and charges, please click here to find out.

The photoshoot was done at Fionboon Photography’s home-studio located at Compassvale and is run by a couple team. Fion and Elmer were really nice and friendly to work with. I first did a Boudoir Maternity Shoot with this couple then subsequently brought my kids & Hubby over later that week for a Family Maternity Shoot (link for Boudoir Shoot here). Really glad my kids were some what good that day so everything went pretty smoothly! And I'm REALLY happy with the photos from both shoots. Thanks Fion & Elmer!!

So that's all for today and I hope you liked my short photo sharing session. Do feel free to leave comments in the comment box below if you have any question/s regarding the topic and I'll try my best to answer them if it's not already stated in my blog above. And that's all for today, Happy CNY everyone - I'll most likely be doing my confinement by then... bye~! ; )

Boudoir Maternity Photo Shoot By Fionboon Photography

🄷🄰🄿🄿🅈 2020!! 🥳

Kick starting my blog this year with a series of VERY BEAUTIFUL shots of my 𝐵𝑜𝓊𝒹𝑜𝒾𝓇 𝑀𝒶𝓉𝑒𝓇𝓃𝒾𝓉𝓎 𝒮𝒽𝑜𝑜𝓉 with @fionboonphotography 📸

Months ago I did a poll on my IG asking my followers what style of maternity shoot should I try this round, soooo many Mummies asked me to try out Boudoir style. At first I thought most of them are just joking with me, asking me to shoot naked.. haha 😆 Then after some thoughts I decided to give it a try since it’s my last pregnancy.

I defo have NO REGRETs choosing this style of shoot cuz’ it’s:

1️⃣something uncommon (𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘪𝘮𝘮𝘢’ 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘳 𝘧𝘰𝘳).. I’ve done Underwater Maternity shoot for my first (link here), so I wanted to try something unique for my last too!

2️⃣looking at the photos always makes me feel so connected, b’cuz everything is just so raw and so precious - juz like how pregnancy is supposed to be!

3️⃣and I’ll always have exact memories of my last pregnancy; how I look back 20 years later and be wow-ed by myself. 🤣🤣 #PregnancyGlow !! ✨

As we step into 2020, am a little over 34 weeks into my pregnancy journey.. a week or so short from how Jie2 Hope popped at around 35 weeks. Getting anxious as the date nears but am hoping for Baby J. to come by at the safe zone. 🙏 So this round I decided to have my maternity photos professionally taken earlier to avoid missing any of my shoots!! ‘Cuz hor last round I missed out 2 paid shoots leh! Wasted! Else me and Hope (in my belly) would have been on ads for Mama Maternity Milk! 😝

Typically maternity shoots are taken from week 30-35, depending on the size of Mummy’s bump, and if you’re carrying one or two babies. I had my photos taken for my No.1 at around 36w cuz’ I wasn’t showing much then, and for No.2 was about 34w. This round No.3 is growing like no body’s business so at week 31 I was already huge!

But my maternity photos turned out I’m SOOOO HAPPY & in love!! 😍 I’m not paid to share/show my photos and defo not a paid advertorial but b’cuz I’m so in love with the photos I decided to share some of the beautifully & tastefully captured Boudoir shots by Fionboon Photography. Hope you like them too!

Typically the maternity shoot would take about 2 to 3 hours in total if you're gonna have your make up done at the studio. The shoot itself takes about 1.5 hours and the makeup another 1 to 1.5 hours. The Boudoir Maternity Photoshoot is charged at $350 and cost for makeup is separately charged (see package photo for details). For more details of the rates and charges, please click here to find out.

The photoshoot was done at Fionboon Photography’s home-studio located at Compassvale and is run by a couple team. Fion and Elmer were really nice and friendly to work with. We also came back a second time with my kids for a family maternity shoot (link here). If you’re shy and all, really won’t have to cuz’ Fion & Elmer are very professional and Fion helps to cover up Mummies in between shots/poses.

So that's all for today and I hope you liked my short photo sharing session. Do feel free to leave comments in the comment box below if you have any question/s regarding the topic and I'll try my best to answer them if it's not already stated in my blog above. And that's all for today, bye~! ; )

Maintaining Good Hair & Skin with Nano Singapore Collagen & Biotin Supplements

What does “skin care” mean to you? Most of us will first think of the ways we care for our skin from the outside - from products like toners, serums, moisturizers, masks and exfoliants that we apply on the surface. Our skin needs the right balance of nutrients to do its main job; a barrier that protects the rest of our body from things outside it. To help keep skin looking, working, and feeling good, we need to feed it well from the inside as well as the outside. To achieve good skin from the inside, it also encompasses important lifestyle factors like a healthy balance of diet and exercise. By also adding the right vitamins and other nutrients to our diet, supplying the body with the building blocks it needs in order to heal and defend itself - we can help take care of our skin from the inside out!

In my short blog post today, I will be sharing the 2 main types of supplements I've been taking for the health of my skin, hair and nails. They are the Collagen and Biotin supplements from Nano Singapore.

Abit about Nano Singapore - they are founded in Singapore and has gained a worldwide reputation for highly effective and affordable beauty & health supplements.

Why consumers trust Nano Singapore?

👍 GMP Certified
👍 100% Natural Ingredients
👍 3rd Party Tested & Certified
👍 101% Customer Satisfaction

About Nano Singapore's FDA-registered and GMP-certified factory:
👍 highest level of food safety👍 FD registered facilities
👍 good manufacturing certification
👍 3rd party tested & certified
👍 formulated in Singapore
👍 manufactured in USA
👍 non-GMO ingredients only
👍 100% natural ingredients

Many people take collagen supplements to add more collagen to their diet. There are several potential health benefits that collagen supplements offer, although scientists have not fully studied all the alleged benefits. However, some of the potential health benefits of collagen supplements include:
👍 better skin health
👍 improved joint health
👍 increased muscle mass
👍 prevents bone loss
👍 supports heart health
👍 promotes healthy hair & nail health
👍 keep eyes healthy
👍 promotes gut health
👍 supports brain health

Many people who take collagen supplements are looking to improve the look and overall health of their skin. Many believe that collagen supplements can help reduce the effects of aging, such as by adding moisture to the skin, reducing wrinkles, and improving elasticity. I'm sorry I do not have personal before & after photos of myself as I've been taking collagen supplements for years, I can only share that my skin has maintained even though I'm about to be a Mom-of-THREE and also turning 32 really soon!

As we age, our bodies do their best to counter the loss of nutrients in out bodies, but it's an uphill battle. Every day our bodies make collagen, but after the age of 25, we break down more collagen then we make, which is why we start to see fine lines and wrinkles (SADLY). Our diet is the first defense against the deficit. Nutrition is a key factor influencing skin health and consequently its appearance. Hence paying attention to our health & diet as we age is a key factor in maintaining skin health.

The Nano Singapore supplements are pretty affordable and can be found on Qoo.10. For example this bottle of Collagen supplement only costs $69.90 for 180 capsules (that lasts for 3 months) on Qoo.10 (regular price). Some times there are time sale pricing that costs $59.90 for that same bottle which lasts for 3 months - that's really affordable! A bottle of collagen supplement like this has 5 types of multi-dimension collagen superfood that delivers maximum benefits to the skin & tissue!

Each bottle of Nano Singapore supplement comes in a good quality bottle and is well sealed.

Their tablets/capsules are coating-free - they do not coat their supplements with HPMC, silicon dioxide or saccharide to artificially extend their hardness or shelf life. Chemical additives like artificial sweeteners, synthetic food dye or artificial flavoring agents are not used to make their supplements taste better.

Now let me talk about Biotin supplement, also another supplement I've been taking since right before I became a Mom.
Benefits of consuming Biotin include:
👍 strengthens hair & nails
👍 improves skin health
👍 supports metabolism
👍 lowers cholestrol
👍 regulate blood sugar

Nano Singapore's Biotin supplements is not only good for healthy hair, nails & skin - it is the only potent Biotin supplement that is enhanced with calcium! I can vouch for that 'cuz the other popular brands that I've been taking prior to this does not offer calcium or that much calcium content as Nano's!

 

Eh-hem, see the chart above for calcium comparison. It's pretty cool 'cuz this bottle of Biotin from Nano Singapore costs only $22.90 (Q price) on qoo.10 (3 months supply), while the previous brand I took that also has 10,000mcg Biotin costs a few dollars behind with much less nutrients. I like this calcium-enhanced version 'cuz it's like a 2-in-1 and def a good add on to my daily cup of milk.

While biotin is necessary for normal body function, and supplements may help pregnant women and some people with diabetes, there still isn’t enough data available to support supplementation or claims about healthy hair, skin, or nails. With that said, it’s always a good idea to eat a balanced, healthy diet of non-processed or minimally processed foods for your optimal health.

Examples of Biotin-rich foods:
🎂 egg yolk 🎂 oats 🎂 white mushroom 🎂 spinach 🎂 cheese 🎂 milk 🎂 pork 🎂 carrot 🎂 apple 🎂 tomato 🎂 beef 🎂 chicken 🎂 lettuce (more info found online)

That's all for today & I hope you liked my little sharing session today. I truly love Nano Singapore's Collagen & Biotin supplements as they're affordable and great add-ons to my daily requirement, I'll recommend them to anyone who's looking for skin-boosting supplements to try. Do feel free to leave comments in the comment box below if you have any question/s regarding the topic and I'll try my best to answer them if it's not already stated in my blog above. Stay tuned for more reviews, bye~! 😉

Hair-Over (Makeover) At Chambers Salon_Mucota Dyna Hair Straightening

Today's sharing session is gonna be (again) a quick & straight forward one 'cuz I've already blogged about something similar & great like this A FEW TIMES already (last hair post here). I just wanted to reiterate (again) b'cuz it's just worth mentioning AGAIN - LOL! So anyway 2 months ago I got a new hairover at Chambers Salon, it's not something overly crazy but enough to see an obvious change. So that's what I wanna share with you guys today!

Can you tell from this pic the changed I've done to my hair? Let me list them down:
1. Cut my hair to a long-bob length
2. Did Mucota Algana to smoothen my hair
3. Had new highlights done to make my hair pop

So this is the reason why I always need to maintain my hair every quarterly with Mucota Algana.  'Cuz my hair is naturally finer than usual plus my hair texture is very airy and I have lots of baby hair. My hair isn't that dry or frizzy, I just have some natural curl and tonnes of baby hair.... Its super annoying 'cuz it can look very unkempt & messy!?

So here's a close up of my hair before I went thru with my hair-over.
It looks really fluffy and puffy, not in a good way. Hair colour is dull and washed out.

Chambers Salon is located a stone's throw from Clarke Quay MRT, and is cosy to chill in while I get my hair done. The lead stylist and his assistant there are also friendly to chat with, I've enjoyed my treatments at Chambers Salon for the first half of the year.

So after 2 sessions, one being my Mucota Algana (straightening & smoothing) and the other being my hair cut & highlights... TADAHHHHH~~~ here's my newwwwww hair do! I love!!! But wondering if I should go even shorter... ?

So here's Charles, the lead stylist at Chambers Salon and he's been "dealing" with my unruly hair for the last 4-5 years...as long as before I became a Mom!!! He's very careful with how he handles my hair 'cuz the first time when I went to see him, my hair was like bird's nest, literally (don't believe, see for yourself here)!!!! He took care of my manes and keep it in healthy condition for the last few years. Thanks for taking care of my tresses for the last few years!!

  

Last and not least, I’m ending this blog post off with Chamber Salon’s current promotion. If you’re keen to try out the Mucota Algana Treatment, bring your BFF along to enjoy some great savings. You both can go get your hair done for together to enjoy BUDDY MUCOTA PROMO. Else quote my name for % off all chemical services while is on until further notice. Don’t say didn’t share k. 👍
