Organic Blessed Soaps




Where skincare is concern, most people would restrict mainly on face, but we shouldn't be neglecting the rest of our body.

To me, choosing a body cleanser is very important.  There are too many soaps in the market that are petroleum based with thickeners that block pores.  We also don't want synthetic fragrance, colors, parabens and chemicals that may cause health risk in long term.

Nature's Glory, Singapore's Health Pioneer retail in organic products proudly launched Blessed Soaps.  This is our first home grown, NASAA (National Association for Sustainable Agriculture, Australia) certified organic liquid soaps.

BLESSED stands for: Balance, Less dry, Essential, Safe, Silky, Economical, Delay Aging.
All ingredients and processes meet the stringent Organic standards of NASAA Australia and every product bears the NASAA Approved Cosmetics logo.  Mainly Organic Aloe Leaf Juice, Organic Shea Butter Organic Coconut, Olive and Sunflower Oils.

I am having with me Lavender and Tea Tree (and DIY towel bunny, heehee...)

It is moisturising, non-drying with mild pH towards Baby Skin of pH7.8, so it's absolutely comfortable to use without irritation on my aging thin skin.

It's fluid in texture but concentrated for quick, gentle and effective cleaning without blocking pores for maximum nutrient absorption every time I shower.
Lavender Blessed Soap was very relaxing and soothing with organic essential oils and natural lavender aroma.  While I can't be visiting the spa everyday, I gets a daily mini spa treat with this bottle in my hand!

Also, I need to mention that it rinse off very easily with less time and water, fantastic for lazy me!  

Tea Tree is for my active teen boys to treat those little bumps and red pimples on their backs.
Yeah, a mother always choose what's the best for their children!

We need to clean, protect and pamper the skin that envelopes our body and soul, so that it's healthy enough to bring us to all places in the world.  And Blessed Soaps is doing a great job!

Blessed Soaps comes in 5 variants: 
(1) Baby Love Unscented – for babies, children and those with sensitive skin or allergies. 
(2) Citrus Joy for refreshing, uplifting, purifying and invigorating. 
(3) Lavender Peace for calming, relaxing and soothing.
(4) Peppermint Patience for cooling the body and mind.
(5) Tea Tree Kindness for those with skin problems.
The liquid soaps come in 12oz (355ml) @$15, 32oz (946ml) @$30.80 and 1 gallon (3776ml) @$105.   Made in USA. Product of Singapore. 

Available at Nature’s Glory and its online website, www.natures-glory.com, selected NTUC Finest and Extra outlets, selected Watsons and health food stores.

Nature Glory's Plum Balls for Preggies and All

*sponsored




While pregnancy was joyful, it was along with a lot of discomfort too.  I had heart burnt, indigestion, extreme morning sickness so bad that I was admitted.  And during admission, I was diagnosed with bacteria in my blood too.
Oh gosh, I looked like a whale here >.<

My stomach, along with it's big and small intestines are still "rebellious".  They refused to digest properly, I always feel bloated many hours after a meal.  If you had read my Dayre, around Feb, I had very bad haemorrhoids.  I bleeded during every business and was on medication for a month.  It was a nightmare and I really really won't want to go through it ever again!

Nature's Glory Plum Balls came in and has been helping my body.
Made from “Blue Diamonds” of fruits, Plums; Nature’s Glory Plum Balls is a natural supplement product from Japan.

This  POTENT PLUM-BASED supplement have multitude of health benefits:
 - Improving liver functions
 - Maintaining digestive system
 - Boosting immune system
 - Guarding against blood acidity
 - Inhibiting growth of bacteria in the water, food and blood.

Plums are an excellent source of natural minerals and vitamins. Unlike other brands, Nature’s Glory Plum Balls have a higher plum concentrate and do not contain any artificial citric acid to make it more sour, neither are there chemicals, additives or colourings.
Recommended dosage after meals, 10 to 15; swallow, suck or chew which ever way you are comfortable with.  Myself, I swallow a few first,  then chew another few, and suck the rest in my mouth like sweets.

Nature's Glory Plum Balls has been awarded:
The Best Natural Pregnancy Supplement 2017
from Parents World.


Nature’s Glory Plum Balls contain wild mountain yam which aids in digestion and hormone support. The traditional natural formula promotes the absorption of nutrients including calcium, iron, and phosphorus, which are essential for the health of a pregnant woman and her foetus.  There's no wonder why it's awarded the best!

I am in love with many of the products here!

My favourite is still Dr Bronner's Organic Soap from US.

The next essential product is a very important to everybody.....
.
.
.
.
mFree Organic Insect Repellent
mFree is the world's leading technology in insect repellent:
*  Up to 10 hours protection - This saves the hassle of reapplication, so that you can fully enjoy your outings (for me Pokemon huntings) without any worries.

*  Repels mosquitoes, sandflies & most biting insects -  We love nature parks, beaches, camping etc., so we need a bottle of repellent to repel them all!

*  Certified organic ingredients: Lemon Grass Essence & Coconut Oil - We need an effective repellent and at the same time free from harsh chemicals to prevent skin allergies.  Needless to say natural ingredients also benefits the skin in a long run.  And lastly, it smells refreshing!

* Product of Singapore - We know what we need.  It's made for us to protect ourselves against Dengue and Zika.

* Affordable price - As said each application last for up to 10 hours of protection while most other brands last for only about 2 hours.  With less usage, a bottle of mFree last longer of course!  Retail price S$16.80, special offer S$12.80 while stocks last.

Here's an extensive range of organic beverages.

You are looking at Bonsoy, organic soy milk from Japan.
Health benefits:
*  Lactose free
*  Soy protein Glycine helps to lower cholesterol level
* Contains Lin lipid helps burn excess body fat
* Contains Saponin and Vitamin E that delay aging
* Contains Isoflavones that helps to prevent breast cancer and prostate cancer, also prevent loss of calcium
* Pasteurized at 130 degree Celsius, bacteria found in the skins of the soybeans are removed
* Rich in Vitamin B which are high in anti-cancer substances, strengthen stomach, stimulate urination, aid in digestion, improve blood circulation, prevent myocardial, atherosclerosis, and high blood pressure. 
Retail price: S$4.95

It's slightly thicker than normal soy milk, mildy sweet as it doesn't not contain any refine sugar. Tapioca syrup is used for natural mild sweetness.  Being lactose free, this is an awesome alternative for people who are allergy to milk.  It's light and tasty on it's own. Can be use from baking to cooking, added in coffee and latte, replace milk in desserts or smoothies!

I used to put condense milk with my cereal, and now I am using Bonsoy which is packed with health benefits and less fattening.
Switched to Nature's Glory Organic Baby Oats as it's price is comparable with those chemical processed cereals.  Retail price: S$3.80

Bonsoy latte.  Lovely taste of coffee in harmony with that mild soy bean flavor.

Bonsoy + Organic Whole Wheat Udon = Soy Milk Udon

Udon with Soy Milk Soup 
Half chicken stock or water and half Bonsoy makes a wonderful soup base.  Ingredients to go with the udon can be added according to individual's liking (I added whatever I could find in the fridge lolxx...).  Adding some sesame oil and black pepper enhance the taste.

In Nature's Glory, organic soya sauce and other condiments.

Fresh produce are available too!  These are AIR FLOWN WEEKLY so they are MUCH FRESHER compared to those which come by sea.
Nature's Glory only carry fresh produce from TRUSTED farms and NOT from middlemen or dubious sources practicing non-organic methods of farming.  And assure that they carry NON-GMO (genetic modified) products.

Found a veg that I had never seen before.  It's called Swiss Chard.  The stalks were in hues of orange and red.  It's an excellent source of Vitamin C, E and A.  Very curious to know how it taste like, going to buy it the next trip.

Shopping continue with some health supplements and organic tea.

Plum Balls S$16.30
Organic supplement from Japan which is rich in organic acids and minerals.

Health benefits:
*  Promote Vitality and retards aging
* Convert fat to energy, maintains slimness
* Aid in digestive systems
* Boost immunity

Tibits and snacks!
Gluten free Chia Seed Nutrition Bars S$3.90 each

Kuranda Nut Bars S$2.50 each, Barley Malt Candy with Black Sesame S$3.30
Brown Rice Cracker with Tamari S$3.60

At Nature's Glory, I know that my money is well spend on the best organic products for my family's health.  I no longer grab anything off the shelves in supermarkets out of convenience.


We have been taking too much processed food and food that are injected with chemicals which explains why cancer and other diseases are becoming so common.  Look at those people in the pass, they eat what they grow, truly organic, hardly people suffer from diseases.

Now that I am already in my mid 40s, I hope it's not too late to be a little more conscious.

Hoping to have another baby..

*sponsored



I suppose most of you know that my kids are at their teens already.

Darren, now 18.
Luis, now 15, and it seems like yesterday...



The house is generally quiet, very quiet, if I don't open my mouth to talk and nag.

I am starting to miss the giggles and wailing (I am serious) from those toothless little humans.
And those baby scent, even babies' butts smells like roses (of course not when they are poo poo-ing).

I am so hoping to have another baby at home.

But........ the current situation is......
We do not have a baby at home, my old "factory" is unlikely to be able to produce one.  Now can only pin for grandchildren which is probably another 10 years or longer >.<

Meanwhile, I am making myself (my clothes) smelling like baby with this:
Farlin Laundry Detergent S$5.90 - S$15.90

I also use it to soak my lingerie as it removes stains and it's gentle on delicate fabrics :)
So now there's a faint baby scent around the house though we don't have a baby lolxx....

* High Water-Soluble Formula - Able to dissolve in water even at 30°C
* Suitable for both hand wash, top or front load washing machines

Another product that it's useful to our baby-less family is this:
Baby Bottle Wash S$5.90 - S$11.90

 This is a multi-purpose liquid cleanser for baby's bottle, bowls, cutlery, even toys.  And it's also a cleanser for vegetables and fruits!
