Since the pandemic, many have been pretty paranoid over the Covid-19 that has no solution to yet! With its unpredictable speed at affecting millions around the world, as a parent, I myself am pretty paranoid to ensure that it doesn't touch my family at all cost!


With that, I have been browsing for a solution that can eliminate bacteria effectively. Since the start of MCO in Malaysia there has been a surge for masks and sanitizer flooding the market out there. Then the UV Sterilizer rod was also seen trending.


And by luck, I came across the JOYLEE Covid-19 Battlepack that is pretty convenient to bring about and does as it says.


The JOYLEE Disinfectant Spray effectively combats against and kill 99.9% contagious viruses, bacteria & fungus. Consists of 75% ethanol based alcohol that safeguards your children and pets from all unwanted germs like the recent COVID-19, influenza, ringworms, rabies, etc.



Helps reduce risks of contamination. Especially nowadays when we head out for a quick grocery restocking that when we get back, we have to sanitize ourself! Spray hand, spray our clothes and even the bags have to spray them before entering. Hence this spray is now an essential nowadays. Welcome to the new norm.


One thing that is good with this spray is that it is also safe for pregnant and babies 1 year onwards. It also has this safety lock that you can switch left to right to lock and unlock, so if you have kids that loves exploring, this is good because they will need to figure out how to unlock it before even spraying it, gives you more time to quickly step in and get it away from them.


The JOYLEE Hand Sanitizer Moisturizer that kills 99.9% germs is definitely a must-have! I swear, I have never used sanitizer so frequent my entire life. I bet many have been experiencing this same phenomenon!



If you have wrinkly, crumpled skin and dry harsh ones; It is not surprising. Just look at the ingredient of the alcohol needed to kill bacteria on your hands. Hence, why I always find hand sanitizers that has moisturizing features included.


Atleast, I can have a peace of mind that it can moisturize my hands at the same time as it sanitizes my hands and kills bacteria in the process.

JOYLEE UV Handheld Sterilizer Rod is also the reason why I feel this package is worth it! Because it is fun to have a new gadget like this. And it is handy enough to fit into my pocket or bag and can be used anywhere I need a quite bacteria killing without liquid or gel or cream textures involved. Especially on surfaces that is more fragile, like our leather wallet for example, or our mobile phone, toys, money or coins and so much more. Because sanitizer with alcohol not only kill bacteria but when in contact with certain material or sorts it can change the material and probably even damage the item in question.


When I received it, I did receive the same question from my family members if it really works? Because the UV light is very small and cute and lightweight. So to clear all their doubt, I did an experiment to test the UV light with some Neon painted egg shells to prove the UV is really a UV. Watch the video below to be convinced that this handy UV Sterilization Rod is truly a UV light that does what it says!



How to efficiently use this UV Sterilization Rod from JOYLEE?
Step 1 - Press and hold the switch button and wait for abit for the UV light to turn on
Step 2 - Scan on any surface or objects for atleast 20 seconds
Step 3 - Release your hold on the button and it's DONE! Bye bye germs!





And with its ergonomic design, I can just bring along with me anywhere anytime when I am out and about! Because it is suitable to also sterilize car seats, the place where you seat, children products and toys before they put it in their mouth or touch it!, computer or electrical appliances - you don't want to spray alcohol over these!, even in the kitchen and bathroom, also stationaries and your mobile phone, since we have to scan the QR code or write our name and contact wherever we visit nowadays.

Wanna know where I got my JOYLEE Covid-19 Battlepack ?

If you are a concern parent like me, am very sure this will probably relate to you on many levels! Especially if you have kids or even currently expecting, it's always good to live in a healthy and safe environment that isn't polluted, but this dream is kinda far-stretched right? Well, let me share my story with you and how I came about to putting my experience down in words so that it may help all of you out there in this area.

Scales/Flaky skin will come out giving people the impression it's like dandruff. But Psoriasis or like some Eczema or Dry skin conditions, it can happen anywhere on the human body. But the body will just continue to shed all these excess scales/skin. Even normal skin will shed dead skin cells everyday.

My husband has psoriasis as most may already know. It is a skin dermatitis condition that some say it's hereditary and usually it's triggered by something in life and you won't know until it happens to you. And over the many years that we have been finding the cause then the cure for this, doctors says that there's no cure etc.


However, along the way it is common even without a skin condition, every human being will shed some dead skin cells on our bed overnight and also some may even shed it off most commonly known as dandruff. Even kids have dead skin cells but not as much as an adult has.


So that's where the culprit it! We naturally produce food overnight on our comfortable beds which makes comfortable homes with lots of food ready for dust-mites to move in and breed hence leading to all sorts of ailments such as allergies, flu, cough, itch and all sorts of ailments that every individual may react differently towards - including Asthma!

I realized ever since I moved in, I sometimes have flu when I wake up in the morning or itchy throat. I thought it was the weather at first because it's usually colder at night and in the dawn. Then after my kids came along, they experienced the same condition and my husband was relatively better though because he don't sleep on the same bed as us, the kids practically occupied the whole bed dominating it. Then I realize it must not be the weather nor hormones. Most likely it's the room.

So I tried to monitor and noticed that my room gets hots when it's hot outside and it gets cold and damp when it's rainy outside. So my room is like the weather, hot and humid all year long! Which is bad!

I thought that repainting my room may eventually solve this weather issue in my own room but I decided to also invest in a vacuum cleaner that can also vacuum my bed. However, no matter how high speed power the vacuum may perform at whichever price range a vacuum is invested in, it is most likely the same.

Do you know that there's a Life Cycle that goes on right in your home between you and the dust-mites?

Because I just realized after several visits from another party coming over to treat and clean my mattress; The sales person highlighted that all vacuums, the air must flow through the filter. The filter they frequently use is the normal filter so that air can go through; Which means, eventually when you vacuum your bed, the air that goes through the back of the vacuum actually releases small dust particles that goes back out again into the air. And think about it, you use the vacuum to vacuum the floors and everywhere else and then you use it on your bed. Even though the brush head may be changed or washed before using on the bed, it's the same as if you're wearing shoes on the bed, just wearing new shoes or washing them before putting it on your bed right.


Therefore, I decided to Google up about dust-mites and how to effectively get rid of them without having to spend a fortune or risk the guarantee that it can solve this issue.

That's where I found this doctor-inspired technology that can help to resolve this issue once and for all! A really neat device that helps to remove bacteria, dust-mites and harmful particles (PM2.5). This technology founded by a Korean doctor Dr. Sungjin Lee and headquartered in Tokyo, Japan since 2005 has been around for more than 12 years and it actually has been in Malaysia for 2 years already.


Raycop focuses on treating and cleaning mattresses, sofa, fabrics where dust-mites love to eat, sleep and shit there and also eventually these dust-mites will decompose right there in our bed which causes ALLERGY to us humans! No wonder so many allergy issues nowadays. Little bit little bit sensitive etc, all because of these little pest living underneath our sheets!


Back in the days there was lesser of this issue, also because back then the bed was must lighter to carry out of the house to be beaten/dusted and sun-dried. But nowadays, it is a super rare sight! Maybe it's better if you were to look at the video yourself to see why this dust-mite vacuum works efficiently through its RayClean Technology :


Firstly, it kills 99.9% of bacteria in 2 seconds :


Secondly, the Vibration with Suction effectively eliminates 3 times more allergen than any other technology available out that that claims to kill or vacuum clean bacteria.

Thirdly, the Double Filtration Purification process is enhanced with the HEPA filter that is proven to trap 99.9% of dust-mite, dirt, pollen and bacteria; Even pet danders that settles on any fabric surfaces like your bed or sofa.



What's so special about HEPA filter is that, majority of the vacuum cleaners out there may not have this HEPA filter fitted into their vacuum because it can block the air flow, however, with this HEPA level 13 hypoallergenic filter in place in the Raycop machine, it keeps the whole family safer because it prevents us from inhaling secondary air pollution as we treat and clean our fabric surfaces at home. And when you feel like the suction is weak means it's time to clean the HEPA filter.


The air still flows with the RayClean Technology, but with this HEPA filter at the back of the dust-mite vacuum, it helps to trap the particles without releasing them back into the air unlike majority of the other regular vacuums does. And did you know that these particles are the most common irritants for family members susceptible to allergies or asthma?!

Just watch how easy it is handling the Raycop dust-mite vacuum even for a pregnant mom like me with a 3rd child on the way and 2 toddler boys running around the house; I would say this dust-mite vacuum definitely came on time! And for what it's valued at, it's worth it!


Since using it, my kids and I don't experience and sniffles in the morning anymore whether rain or shine. Even when it rains at night, we don't get runny nose in the morning anymore! Apart from consuming immune boosters or supplements or vitamins, we still have to look after of our surroundings and our environment in our home.

Just look at all that powdery dirt on the washable filter! It's a combination of dead mites, bacteria, pollen, hair, dead skin cells/flakes of human skin, mite feces, PM2.5 and probably even mold!

You and I are well aware the air pollution out there is beyond your imagination, so it's good to invest in a handy device like this that will keep your family healthier and happier together while at the comfort of your own home!

My son cuddling his pillow, thankfully he don't own any "bantal busuk/smelly pillow". But this pillow just went under the UV lights of Raycop "RayClean Technology" in treating and cleaning thoroughly!

With the weather nowadays that is kind of unpredictable, it is quite hard to go through the day knowing that you or your child could bring home germs or bacteria from unknown places. Even with the evolving era we live in now, bacteria and germs find ways to even breed and multiply in your very home too.

So how do we really keep our family hygiene at peek? Well, for me, I feel that we should keep it moderate, some bacteria is good as long as it isn't harmful, but when to really take action is when you see signs of weather change and your kids or even you feel uncomfortable, and you start to feel unwell.


Like recently with the coughing and flu widespread in Malaysia, it has become so common that it's like a norm, but it's unhealthy and if ignored, may lead to many unknown diseases. So it's good to sometimes cleanse thoroughly and it always starts from home.

Dettol relaunches its personal wash range that provides a burst of freshness all day long of up to 12 hours odour protection whilst protects from 100 harmful germs!


The Dettol 'ProFresh" is formulated to provide 12 hours of odour protection, which is good because in Malaysia, we experience a whole year long of hot and humid weather. With this technology in place, it keeps us fresh and feeling clean when we're out and about.

It's been awhile since I last went for parenthood workshops such as this, and it is always good to come back for a good refresher on parenthood just to keep ourselves in touch with what's happening in today's era of parenting.



The event today hosted by Parenthood Magazine Malaysia alongside with Sunway Medical Centre and Nippon Paint Malaysia; Provides a good range of topic of useful information in today's workshop takeaway for every parents and new parents-to-be.

Some of the topics today which I find really informative are, Raising A Balanced & Successful Child In The 21st Century by Ms Sam Jeng Mun a certified clinical psychologist who focused on the effects of screen time in children. She also discusses the best way to tackle the touch screen generation and the importance of free-play in a child’s development.

A simple guide of screen time for your child consists of the following infographic that you can refer too (can easily fish this schedule off from Google/Facebook). I always keep this in my mobile but then I seldom refer to it. So it's good to set it in your alarm instead, atleast no matter how busy or involved you get with your work or duty or tasks, the alarm will ring you out of it and takeover whatever screen time and parenting duty that should be done. Make it a good habit rather than ignore it. Start from 30 mintes then increase gradually but if you can avoid it, then avoid it as long as possible.

After that, we were brought through a very informative yet funny topic that every parent will surely remember and new parents will be bound to be surprise; Understanding Your Baby’s Developmental Milestones by Consultant Paediatrician, Dr Cham Weng Tarng. It's a talk about the developmental milestones according to ages and stages together with ways to encourage a child’s physical and mental development. So this can range from the way we as parents potray or behave or even react and respond to infront of our child. Because our child from the moment they are inside our womb, they start to learn and pick up sounds and feelings. As they are born, they start to feel, touch, sense, hear, see and even taste. And all babies from birth are like sponge, they magically soak up everything they are able to learn and absorb with ease. So it's good to provide them with the best environment to grow up in! With that in place, you as a parent gets involved and monitor your own child's milestone to ensure they hit atleast most of it age appropriately, because if you notice a child for example, does not smile or responds back to you at 3 months of age, no expression at all, means it's a sign that your child should seek a specialists for further assessment.



Dr Cham also talked about Myth Vs Truth on Children & Ilnesses, which touched on
vaccination, contagious diseases, indoor air quality as well as viruses and bacteria that you
didn’t think would exist in your own cozy little home. One of the subject he mentions how bacterias spread easily, for example, let's take coughing in the picture. When one coughs, the bacteria spreads out for atleast 1.8meter in area and the bacteria's stays active for 48 hours. which is why disinfection and sanitization plays an important role today in curbing viruses from spreading.



And in today's session, the other highlighted topic when it comes to hygiene and family health, it will be the 'Indoor Wellness Program' by Dr Amir Hamzah who is the President of the Malaysian Society of Allergy & Immunology (MSAI) which talks about air pollution, especially indoors, where many of us think we’re safe. This is where it is important also for indoor cleanliness. Incase you are unaware, our walls traps dust and bacteria's too. And some walls traps moist which can turn into hazardous molds that is very unhealthy for anyone living there. I am currently experience this in my master room and it gets easier to fall sick. Which was why I had to invest in a air dehumidifier and an air purifier. But it doesn't solve the issue even after steam washing the mattresses and rainbow vacuum the bed whilst cleaning up the whole room from the ceiling to the floor. The issue lies in the walls against my bedroom where there are no obstruction on the outsides, leaving it open to the wind, rain and sun. So when it's hot, the walls in my room heats up super quick and when it is cold, we don't need an aircond at all.


Basically, a good well-ventilated and furnished room is ideal for a better living condition. Now I have to re-renovate my room and re-paint the walls with Nippon Paint Malaysia, virus-guard and maybe weather-guard if they have it. Have to go check it out in-stores.


The session today, was a fun session where two lucky couples on themselves a free painting package worth RM1500 by posting their most creative photo of them on their social media at the Kid's Room Installment that was set up behind in the workshop hall. And participants raced to the stage to get the right answer for take home with a cute little Blobby Doll by Nippon Paint Malaysia.
