How To Get Rid of Dust-Mites or Allergens?!

January 24, 2019 0
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 :


With the UV light, it effectively sterilize and it doesn't just kill 99.9% bacteria or dust-mites; It actually removes bad odours from the mattresses or pillows! Especially if you have a "busuk/stinky" pillow around then you totally need this for sure! I was amazed at first usage, the musty scent on my mattresses and pillows, smells clean and somewhat new, it's like it just came back from the hot sun outside. I also like that it has 2 sensors behind the machine that only turns the UV light function on when it is in close contact with the fabric surface.


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.


This vibration actually mimics the beating motion on your mattress. You know how back in the good ol' days our grandparents would beat our mattresses with a stick or something just to beat those nasties or dusts out from the mattress at the garden.


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!

KITKAT Ruby-licious in Malaysia

January 20, 2019 0
KITKAT as a brand has existed for over the past 83 years and it all began in 1935, where KITKAT becomes a family of Nestle since 1988 (my birth year!).


Today, it is Malaysia's leading chocolate brand and love by many through many generations over the decades; It's also exported globally across 14 countries and the first global confectionary brand to be made from 100% sustainable cocoa source through the Nestle Cocoa Plan.


As I was taken down memory lane on the true beginnings of KITKAT and how it began to how it derived to its glorious taste and wonders today, it was definitely an educational moment for me to get to know KITKAT personally behind-the-scenes.




Little did I know (or rather I didn't know at all!), that Nestle Cocoa Plan helps improve the lives of cocoa farmers who are within the Nestle supply chain. And this is something that should be mentioned because not many corporate giants will go down to the nitty gritty to really put their sincerity and concern in the welfare of their resources and human resources I am talking about. Because you may have probably heard of such news last time where child labour and gender inequalities to low incomes for farmers is quite known to most of the world.


However, in line with Nestle's purpose of enhancing quality of life and contributing to a healthier future, their initiative to improve the livelihoods of cocoa-growing communities in the Ivory Coast by providing resources for them to manage their farms and livelihoods, truly helps in providing a solution the the challenges faced by these farmers and their family. With proper training and best practices, you will know it when you have yourself a KITKAT, you can truly taste your love of chocolate through every bite you take! I believe it's because of the passion and the love that begins from its seed right until it is harvested by the farmers with care. The Nestle Cocoa Plan operates under 3 simple pillars, which are, Better Farming, Better Lives and Better Cocoa. A 100% sustainably sourced Nestle KITKAT cocoa without any child labour, mistreated farmers, nor gender inequality in the process of the making, really makes a huge difference!


Today they have launched the Ruby chocolate that is the latest discovery and it is now available in KITKAT Chocolatory stores in Malaysia. It has a sweet and slightly sour tinge of taste in it's pretty-in-pink melt in your mouth chocolatory sensation that you will not miss. It is the first new chocolate in its original form that is created ever since dark, milk and white chocolate was created 80 years ago. Ruby chocolate has no added flavouring, colouring additives or genetic modification, it was made by Swiss chocolate and cocoa processor Barry Callebaut from specially-selected Ruby cocoa beans that is only found in major cocoa-growing regions that even includes places such as Ivory Coast, Ecuador and Brazil.


The one-of-a-kind chocolate actually makes me really curious how KITKAT is going to market it to the public and I was delighted to know that they have the KITKAT Ruby chocolate in their most famous four-finger wafer bar!


It will probably be the best Valentine's gift every girl will love!


And the KITKAT Chocolatory store in Mid Valley actually has samples that you can try their variety of KITKAT products on certain days (especially weekends); But that's not all! You also get to purchase unique KITKAT chocolates that you don't always see it over-the-shelf at the mart etc. The best part about this store, is you can even have a go at customizing your own KITKAT chocolate by choosing the ingredients to your KITKAT (up to 3 ingredients).


Popular KITKAT product includes :

KITKAT Malaysian Favourites
KITKAT Milk Chocolate
KITKAT Chunky
KITKAT Mini

KITKAT Green Tea - This is made with real Green Tea leaves to give consumers the true exotic and pure green tea flavour


KITKAT Duo Teh Tarik - This is super unique and I bet most Malaysians will love this for their tea time or even breakfast or supper!! The flavour is really rich with Teh Tarik taste of tea with milk and sugar. Tastes really rich, really really rich! Be warned! You may not stop. Smells exactly like Teh Tarik.
KITKAT Rose (Limited Chinese New Year edition) - This is Rose Bandung, really tastes like syrup with milk except slightly more milky also because of the chocolate texture that is already milky itself. But the syrul flavour gave this Rose Bandung chocolate a very gentle and sweet unique blend of a tinge of lightly sweetened milk chocolate. It is fragrant too, smells just like Rose Bandung.


Pls head over to their store because you will be definitely be in for a treat! I super love their Chinese New Year creations, particularly the KITKAT Pineapple Tart Chocolate, the taste is uncanny!

Travelling Friendly Murad Dew A Little Moisture Malaysia

January 14, 2019 0
Being in a hot and humid country like Malaysia that is sunny and rainy all year long, makes our skin very precious that we must really look after for it. I for one am not a skincare addict, but as time goes on and as age catches up, you will be able to see the damaging effects that the environment and surrounding is harming our skin.


There's too many conditions nowadays that it is important for one to find out what skin type they are to find a proper care for their skin to protect and keep it nourish for longer throughout the day and over the years to come. With the scorching hot weather especially that has hit Malaysia the past few weeks and the sudden heavy storm and shower in the early evenings, is not really beneficial for our skin health.


That's why as I am always on-the-go, may it be to events or even just a quick drive over to pick my kid from school, I must bring along a travel size moisturizer with me that can keep my skin hydrated and moist for longer periods of time. Because travelling in the car with the air-conditioning on and with the sunny sun scorching through my windshields, you can almost imagine how dry my skin actually gets.


Murad's Dew A Little moisturizer is a well-known brand in the skincare industry by Dr. Murad; And this product right here is the "best-selling" hydro-dynamic ultimate moisture that comes in a limited edition mini that makes it a perfect fit for anyone on-the-go, it can even fit into the smallest clutch bag available!


I love it's luxurious texture as it is lightweight on the skin and it is odourless, but the most significant importance of this, is that it provides 24-hour hydration to reduce appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with proven results of up to 92% reported less visible after a week.


Infused with Hyaluronic acid technology, it has the ability to enhance skin's texture to attract and retain water for an intense and long-lasting hydration for longer hours!


For someone like me who prefers a more soothing remedy especially when it comes to skin health, it is good to know that Murad Dew A Little is formulated WITHOUT parabens, sulfates, phthalates and gluten. Best of all, it is cruelty-free, non-comedogenic and vegan. And it contains, coconut extract, shea butter, avocado, sunflower and olive fruit oils that provides superior moisture retention whilst restore suppleness and supports a healthy skin barrier.


Its retailed at RM88, you can get them at :
