We’ve tried many different masks, and these are our family’s favourite masks! Here’s why my kids love and support FaceWedge.

FUN DESIGNS

Now that mask wearing is here to stay, it has become a fashion accessory! My teens like to match their masks with their outfits, and have received lots of compliments from their friends. I thought the cute designs would spur Kate to wear her masks happily, but the teens and their friends were even more excited than Kate! Now you know what to buy your nieces for Christmas 🙂

Besides the fancy prints, there is also a range of plain coloured masks for a professional look, and which may suit the dads better.

3D SHAPE

Some masks cling to your nose and mouth, and the kids find it uncomfortable to wear them for 8 hours at school. This one has a 3D effect which makes it more breathable.

LIGHTWEIGHT AND COMFORTABLE

These cotton masks are so far the thinnest and lightest ones we have tried. Each piece is individually handmade using sustainable fabric that is suitable for our hot weather yet providing adequate protection.

FITS WELL

FaceWedge masks come in 5 sizes (Kid S, M, L / Adult & Adult XL), and the elastic bands are easily adjustable to fit everyone! All you have to do is to pull out the original knot, re-knot it at the right place and tuck the knot back in and it’s hidden! Simple.

REUSABLE

These masks are made from premium material and you can throw it into the washing machine on a gentle cycle, or hand wash if you prefer, and hang to dry.

MUMS & KIDS

Some designs come in both adult and kids sizes and the whole family can walk out looking real snazzy!

I ordered Kid M for Kate as she is 8 years old, and the measurements are 10.5 x 17cm, which should fit kids aged 4-7 years old. However, her face is really tiny, and she wears the same sized mask as her 4-year old cousin!

ECO CONSCIOUS

This was the main reason we supported FaceWedge initially, before trying out their masks. The founders, Tom and Mel, have lived in Singapore for more than 7 years, and as avid divers, they are very passionate about the environment, and in particular, the oceans. They realised that many people were still using disposable surgical masks and thus decided to create a range of masks that were comfortable and pretty so that people would actually want to wear them.

DIRECT IMPACT

They have also partnered with Seven Clean Seas, a Singapore-based team that physically pulls plastic from the waters around Singapore. For every 5 FaceWedge masks that you buy, 1kg of plastic is removed from the ocean. To date, they have pulled out over 1000kg of plastic from the waters surrounding Singapore!

Did you know that there are 150 million metric tonnes of plastic in our oceans today? Their goal is to clean up 5 tonnes of plastic by Christmas. Every mask you buy counts!

As busy women, what we want is a fuss-free hairstyle for our crowning glory which makes us look our best, taking into account our individual features and the texture of our locks, right?

If you’re looking for a professional hair salon which offers a wide range of services and experienced stylists to give you a make over, or just want a day of self-care to pamper yourself, look no further!

I took my daughter to try out their services and we are both very satisfied with the outcome and the whole experience at this leading hair salon located in the heart of town.

We were warmly welcomed, and her stylist, Ethan, started by analysing her crowning glory and face shape and they had an in-depth discussion about the look she wanted to achieve and he recommended a soft layering for her. He asked if she had box-dyed her tresses before this, which she did during the circuit breaker! Her locks are rather damaged at the ends, and she decided on going for a cut and perhaps will consider a perm another time.

She was in the good hands of award-winning hair stylist Ethan Pon, who specialises in Colouring and Cutting. He was Shiseido Singapore’s Top 5 Finalist 2018 and clinched Goldwell ColorZoom Singapore Silver Award 2019. As he went along, he gave her lots of tips on how to take care of her crowning glory properly.

Currently, they are having a very special promotion where you can trial any of their services at an extremely affordable price of just $28!

Beyond the standard cut, they offer hair colouring, highlighting, rebonding, perming, and a range of specialised hair and scalp treatments. You can count on their team of dedicated professionals to advise you on the perfect look whilst keeping your precious locks healthy and luxurious.

All you have to do is to book your session via their website to enjoy any of the following services at the special discount:

Snip Your Way to A New Look

Even a basic cut is an experience here. A stylist will first assess your face shape and recommend the best style that suits you. Your locks will be accordingly cut and styled, for a look certain to be professional and stylish.

Spoil Yourself

Don’t we busy mums deserve to be pampered with a good hair wash and massage? This service includes a deep cleansing wash for your hair, a relaxing massage for your head, neck and shoulders, blow dry, and professional styling of your locks. The deep cleansing wash helps to remove dirt and excess oil, achieving a luxurious, sleek look.

Add A Splash of Colour

If you are looking to colour your tresses, rest assured they use exclusive dyeing products from L’Oréal to Artic Fox to achieve high-quality and vibrant colour for your locks. The stylists are experienced with techniques such as balayage and ombre to create the most beautiful shades and gorgeous gradients. Colouring services include Multiple Colouring, Highlighting, Ombre and Balayage.

Hide Your Greys

As we mature, those first shoots of grey or white strands will make their appearance. Fret not! Their experienced team welcomes questions on any product’s purpose to clear up any concerns you may have. The different colouring services include one shade colouring, coverage for grey hairs and retouching of those pesky roots.

Salon Grade Bleaching

The products used in Bleaching are personally selected for your crowning glory by the stylist. Finding the product most suitable for your locks keeps them healthy and shiny, and ensures that every strand is lightened evenly for long-lasting and fade-proof colour. Premium products used include brands such as L’Oréal, Jolen Creme, and Wella.

Curls for Days

Try out the latest Korean styles or go for a classic look with soft and natural-looking curls that last. The experts will recommend you the best conditioning products and clue you in to tips and tricks to care for your new wavy tresses.

Choose from a wide array of trendy techniques including Korean styles such as S-Curl perm, C-Curl perm, and wave perm, and Japanese styles such as the Japanese perm. Aside from that long list, Yoon still offers other perming treatments such as root volume, pin curl, twist, or a classic perm.

Straighten Your Strands

Here, they offer both Straight Rebonding or Soft Rebonding techniques and both processes guarantees moisturised and nourished tresses with minimal breakage.

Best of Both Worlds

Preferable for longer locks, the two types of volume rebonding techniques (S-Curl or C-Curl) involve straightening the top of your tresses and shaping the ends in either a chic inward swirl, or to achieve beautiful-looking waves.

Now that you’ve achieved your desired look with your beautiful new tresses, don’t forget to take care of the health of your locks.

All kinds of factors – stress, poor diet, heat styling, dyes and even wearing your tresses in tight styles can damage them, causing loss of strands and split ends. Professional hair and scalp treatments address these problems by tackling the issues from the roots, promoting blood circulation and revitalizing the follicles.

Protect and Repair Your Scalp

Their Hair Regrowth Treatment works to exfoliate the scalp and treat oiliness, dryness, sensitivity, and hair loss. And the best part – you get to sit back and enjoy a relaxing head and scalp massage for some much needed R&R.

Heal Your Tresses

Opt for their Hair Defrizzing Treatment to get your luscious locks back in order. This treatment promises to bring out the best in your crowning glory.

This premium salon prides itself on using quality products and they believe in providing an excellent customer experience, so once you step in, you will be given that special one-on-one attention and care.

When we went home, the older girls gave their nod of approval and they are keen on trying out the other services for themselves.

I have newfound respect for drummers. Really. We usually think of them as the cool guy, showy and loud. But after going through a term of lessons with #2, I have found the opposite to be true. Drummers are probably the most disciplined member of the band and their role is extremely crucial – to keep time, as the other members are depending on him.

I was going to turn down this collaboration, but as usual, my older girls asked me “How’s your day been, Mum?” I casually mentioned the email and was surprised at #2’s enthusiasm. Being the President of her school’s band, her personal goal is to pick up as many instruments as possible, and she wanted some real lessons to learn drum fills.

I decided that I should set aside an hour a week to spend time with her as she’s been really busy this year and I hardly get to see her except during meal times. Besides, a mother-daughter angle would be nice for the review.

Having passed my Grade 8 in piano (waayyy back then), I thought how hard could it be to play percussion instruments right? The kids thought it was pretty cool that mummy was taking drum lessons, but honestly, I never imagined picking up another musical instrument as an adult. I hardly even have time to play the piano anymore.

I’ve been meaning to eat healthier and gradually change our family’s diet to a more nutritious one, but somehow that has always been pushed to the back burner.

When Antidote contacted me about sponsoring their 3-Day juice cleanse, I was going to pass it up because I’ve been really busy and didn’t want to add too many reviews on my plate at the moment.

However I thought of #1, knowing that she regularly does her own cold-pressed juices. I showed her the website and her enthusiasm was greater than I expected. I agreed to it, on condition that she handled the photos.

Looks refreshing

Seeing how excited she was, I took a better look at their website.

During the period of juice cleansing, your digestive system will be given a rest, enabling your body to go into detox mode naturally while flooding it with vitamins and minerals that it needs to thrive. Your cells will focus on repairing other cells, tissues and organs, and eliminating foreign toxins and the natural metabolic wastes our body produces by itself.

Our Fresh Start programme helps to jumpstart our body, detoxify your cells and get rid of harmful toxins that have built up in our bodies over time.

Sounds like what I needed!

Antidote Advanced Cleanse

#1 immediately chose the Fresh Start Level 3 cleanse, which is for those who have cleansed before and love the taste of greens.

The ingredients are clearly labeled at the back. For example,

Mont Blanc (Anti-inflammation): Apple, Jap Cucumber, Celery, Lemon.

Angel Falls (Liver cleanse): Carrot, Orange, Beet, Lemon, Ginger, Coconut oil, Rosemary.

I didn’t mention it to #2 and #3 as I thought they might be a little too young for this, at 16 and 14 respectively.
