because everyone (or mum) needs a little pampering.

with jerry starting childcare this week, I finally have a wee bit of time to relax a little without having both the toddler and baby demanding my attention! im heading back to work in EXACTLY 10 days, and seriously, time just passed sooooo fast, I dont remember achieving much in the past 3 months.. except spending loads of time with jerry. while I feel tired constantly, its amazing to watch him grow and develop a little everyday and I know its been beneficial to him as well because he has learnt so much in the past 3 months.  I cannot be more thankful for the time spent with him.

 

still, being cut off from work and holing up in the house does things to your esteem. you just dont have as much time to groom yourself, take care of your face, have your brows trimmed etc.. so yesterday, while my mum looked after jerome, I snuck out for some self pampering.

I didnt really do much. I trimed my my mane neater, did treatment for both hair & scalp and added some colors.. can I just say.. I think I havent dyed my hair in 10 years? purely because of 2 reasons. 1. I love my jet black hair (and there was a period when its in trend) 2. I hate having to deal with new hair growth on dyed hair and having to maintain it with constant touch ups.

 

this time round, I just wanted some subtle colors to spice things up, while retaining most of my original hair color, so I dyed only the inner portion of my hair! super perfect for the busy mummy who has to juggle work and kids, without worrying about new hair growth showing since they cant be seen at all! super easy to maintain!

here’s how it looks!

 

p.s. I took this picture 1 day later. the hair still look gorgeous if you ask me.

 

I posted a picture of my hair color on instagram yesterday right after I was done and received a text from the husband that says..”am I coming home to a new wife tonight?”

 

haha! nice one, and thanks for the confidence booster, baby.

Hi there! Thanks for popping by. I'm Cherie, a ftwm (full-time working mum) to 3 lovely kids (2 boys & a princess) and my motto in life is to BE HAPPY. Sure, life isn't all that smooth but it's the mentality that counts, no? This blog documents my life. Or rather, snippets of my life that has passed me by. I love capturing life memories in the blog and being able to read back and laugh at myself (or anyone). I love to eat (A LOT), travel and paint my own nails so the blog is mostly about that. Is that considered lifestyle? Of cos, the family is also very much an integral part of me so there would be loads of memories about the husband and my kids - Jerry (9yo), Jerome (7yo) and Leia (2.5yo) and everyone else that's close to me. I like documenting the kids' milestones, their growing up years, their achievements (and sometimes, mine), and my struggles and battles with motherhood. It sure ain't easy. I love seeking out good food and travelling, is trigger-happy, love new gadgets, love exploring new places and strives to live life to the fullest. I aspire to travel the world as much as I can, to soak in the different sights across the various continents and visit all the Disneylands in the world (almost there!). Have fun reading and do drop me a comment to say hi! Love, Cherie Lim Find me on Instagram.
