Am sure many of you may be aware of HFMD by now. Incase you don't know about it, can WiKi it up here.

It started with a slight fever and then some red spots on his tummy first and more prominent on the face, arms, legs and thighs. It was only after seeing 3 pediatrician in 3 days while the spots turned into small liquid-like spots, he was diagnosed with suspected HFMD at 2 MONTHS OLD! Because he had tiny ulcers in his mouth after the fever and spots were almost all out.

Then only towards the end (lasted 5 days), the spots dried up on his face, leg and thighs. I even found out from his paed that the HFMD has about 6 strains? So there's no vaccine nor any medication for it and if you have contracted it once, it does not make you immune to HFMD strains entirely. Because it has 6 or maybe more now... So you may have contracted strain A but there's still B, C, D and so on out there!

Most importantly, if you doctor never share this with you, let me share with you; Before, during and after HFMD, you must sanitize and clean all the surfaces and areas where the body fluid may come in contact with! Because this nasty virus lasts for up to 30 days even AFTER recovery! That was how my son contracted it, on the changing station (I cleaned it thoroughly and sprayed and wipe and place an extra layer over the station before putting my baby on it to change his nappy) but I forgot to sanitize my hands that could have touched the sides of the station that may have the HFMD lingering from previous baby/parent.

Thankfully it was mild for my child. And it didn't bothered his appetite. After 5 days, I contracted it from him because I fully look after him and fully breastfed (direct latch). SO I caught this nasty bug for 7 days straight! It was HORRIBLE! Imagine getting a numb feet and x10 that emotion plus having stepping on a bed full of sharp pointy needles. That's how it literally feel like on my palms and feet! I had to wear a fluffy sleeper at home because I could not touch and smooth solid surface, it was horrible! It was constant needles poking through your skin!

I used a cold Aloe Vera cream to soothe it but it never last. What really helped for HFMD was the Menang 8 Raja Kayu Red Power Cream and the Raja Kayu Gem Aura Spray/Red Power Spray. It's made out of Raja Kayu, plant-based ingredients and it's made in Malaysia.

I'm a big fan of this brand and product because it's really too good and naturally plant-based! For HFMD, it helps to soothe the itch and the pain. Helps dry the spots up super quick and leave no scar behind!!

Review from one of our friend & valued customer :

Just recently this month we had blooming orders of 40 over creams to one kindergarten because of the kids that were infected by it and some were not but just for standby. And it's because of the effectiveness of it.

I usually advise my customers to put the RK cream and RK spray in the fridge and use it chill for those HFMD or even Chicken Pox spots. In normal temperature it works for other stuffs where I will share the full details soon on the RK Cream. As for the Spray you can read about it here.

Disclaimer : The cream is not meant to heal or replace your doctor's advise or any medical advise. It only helps to assist in soothing the condition as an alternative remedy. So it's subjective to individuals as well, because our skin is different. This is based on my personal experience and also sharing from my friends as well.

Having fun is a blessing in disguise! Because you get to enjoy the laughter and joy from within you! It is especially joyful to have fun times with the kids.


My kids at their age now, it's all about playtime, sensory play and even role play. Like taking them to the park or to the children's play area, they love it so much that they rather stay there!

Thankfully my home is filled with much fun for them with a slide and toys that they like and educational board games and toys they can learn while play with it (and someday destroy it).


However, there will always be a concern on hygiene. Because there's too many bacteria these days that we can't keep our child 100% clear of those bacterias. My gynae even once told us that we can't be too clean because that will also cause problems in future as we become sensitive to little bit of dirt. So a little bit of dirt is actually good because it helps our body to naturally grow and build a protective system to fight whatever bacteria that we may come in contact with.

A clean and healthy life, starts from young. It is good to be moderate in everything that we do because everything has its pros and cons. However a good habit is important to have especially for the kids, such as washing their hands before mealtimes or cleaning up after play.


If you are like me, who loves heading out frequently and also bringing kids to parks and playgrounds to spend quality time with them; You will experience times where you may have no access to water or soap for washing the hands especially afterwards.


This is where I found that Carrie Junior actually helps in that sense where the new Carrie Junior FunTime Wipes, is suitable for everyone especially families with younger kids; It comes in an easy to carry pack of 30 wipes RM7.30 WM / RM7.70 EM (*inc GST, sendiri minus 6% ya) or the family pack of 80 wipes RM9.00 WM / RM9.50 EM (*inc GST, sendiri minus 6% ya) where you can put into your bags, in the car or at the play area at home. Just remove 1 wipe and clean the hands of your child or yourself.


My son loves to explore places and touch things that he can reach for; the walls, stairs, handles, trolley carts and etc. So when it comes to meal time and if I have no access to water, I just simply pull out a piece of Carrie Junior FunTime Wipes and cleans his hands thoroughly before meals (especially the stuck dirt between his nails).

If you have school going children, this will be great for them to bring to school. As they can easily practise cleaning their hands before meals at school or after an activity in school. So it's quite convenient too.


There's actually two fruity variants of Cheeky Cherry and Smoothie Berries, and it is specially formulated with Fruito-E, which is a combination of fruit extracts rich in vitamins and nutrients to help nourish and moisture skin.


I like how it feels on my skin after using this unlike some other wipes that feels sticky and drying or weird tingling irritation. This one cleans good enough and doesn't leave any residue behind, leaving behind only a delightful scent of fruity flavours on your skin.



I especially like that it's Dermatologically tested and certified Halal. It's also alcohol-free, paraben-free, formaldehyde-free and hypoallergenic. The wipes are also designed to be ultra-moist that is mild and gentle on your children's delicate skin.

I would say overall, it's really convenient for travelling on-the-go, outdoor activities, mealtimes, play times and more.

Was glad to be able to attend this exclusive event for mom's to rejuvenate the mind, body and soul. It was held at Be Urban Wellness in Work @ Clearwater, Kuala Lumpur, in conjunction with Mother's Day! 

During the event, I was able to experience a mind detox through yoga and mindful breathing to regain inner peace. To be honest, this breathing method feels so similar to Hypnobirthing! As many of you should be aware that I birth my baby out with 5 birth breaths; And this breathing method is somewhat alike so it was easy-peasy for me hehe... 

After the mindful breathing, we were immersed in the healing sounds of Crystal Singing Bowls to re-calibrate our tired minds and bodies. During the session I sensed "space" and peace. Some moms even dozed off as you can hear them snoring. 

After this mind, body, soul rejuvenating session, we adjourned downstairs to the Babe lounge/pool deck area for massage, tea time and introduction. 

Masaki Tago, Managing Director of Pigeon Malaysia shares that "Pigeon as the market leader in mother and baby care products, provides mothers with products of the highest level of comfort, quality and convenience."

The event today was also hosted by The Amazing Race Asia star, Vanessa Chong, as she shared her story of becoming a first time mother to her 4 month old daughter, Caela Rae. And from one mom to another, Vanessa looks amazing! I didn't know she was a mom herself, until today!

After the sharing session, we had a chance to experience upclose and personal with the variety of Pigeon Malaysia products.

Pigeon's Foaming Cleanser made of 100% food grade ingredients and the introducer, Jed Chow-Marketing Manager at Pigeon Malaysia, during the event even tasted the cleanser infront of all of us! Proving that it is food grade! Not edible but if it accidently goes into our tummy it is still safe because of the 100% food grade ingredients. It also kills 99.9% bacteria.

Pigeon's range of dental care the "Pigeon Training Toothbrush" which my baby is currently using the 18months old toothbrush.

However, today's highlight was The Newborn Pure Skincare, formulated with Natulayer™ that actually mimics the natural form of vernix and ceramide inside a mother's body that helps to keep baby's skin hydrated and protect from dry skin by locking moisture in. Safe to use on all skin types and manufactured in Japan according to the highest quality standards for baby skincare products.

We had an amazing hand and shoulder massage by Be therapists using the Newborn Pure Skincare range of Moisturizing Lotion, Calming Oil & Protective Cream; And also an experience on the Kegel Chair massage by Be Urban Wellness, with some yummy healthy refreshments. 

It was a fun day out with other mummies. Everyone had their special "ME" time today! Thanks to Pigeon Malaysia.

I definitely enjoyed my "ME" time today with the rest of the other mummies Kathy, Shermyn, Jia Shin, Syafiera, Rane Chin & many more!
