Don’t want to get your kids a phone, but feeling pressure to give them a bit more independence?

We’ve been using myFirst Singapore range of kids tech for years now, and their myFirst Fone watches have been amazing for giving me peace of mind as the boys have got older and wanting to do more things on their own.

Whether it’s going on a play date, getting themselves home from school, or just popping to the shops, I can keep connected to them without worrying about unsafe internet browsing or social apps.

My favourite features of the myFirst Fone S4 as a parent:

- Classroom mode - this can be set remotely on my app, and automatically for set periods of time each day. While it’s on, the kids can’t use the smartwatch as anything other than - a watch! No distractions or notifications popping up while they are at school.

- Videocall makes it easy to check-in

- GPS means I can track the kids and never have to worry about where they are.

- Habit Trainer - since we got these watches, my boys have been making their own beds every morning, and brushing their teeth without nagging!

- 5MP Camera so the kids can send you pictures while they are away (this is my boys’ favourite feature!)

My 9 year old’s brutal comments about my outfit ensuring I stay in my lane 😂

Some more that didn’t make the final cut: ‘why are you so black? It’s a sad skirt. Why are you putting on so much make-up? I don’t like it.’

Things I check weekly: homework diaries. Fridge expiry dates. That weird aircon noise. My toddler’s temperature (repeatedly, unnecessarily).

Things I don’t check: myself.

Sound familiar? We keep on top of everything except our own health. And with breast cancer touching so many people close to me, I couldn’t keep ignoring it.

So I looked into it. It only takes 15-20 minutes to get a mammogram screening, and it will detect suspicious areas well before they can be felt by your at-home hand checks.

Courage isn’t about not being scared. It’s booking the appointment anyway.

Courage Starts with a Check. ❤️

Book your screening:
📅 26 September 2026, Saturday
🕝 4:30pm to 9:00pm
📍 VivoCity Level 1 Outdoor Plaza, near Tim Hortons

On site mammogram screening on the Mammobus, 4:30 to 8:00pm, for Singaporean and PR women aged 40 and above. Talks, live performances, and a free goodie bag while stocks last.

There is something so beautiful and nostalgic about holding a physical photo in your hands - and I love the aesthetic of shooting with the instax Singapore Official instax mini 99.

It’s a premium analog camera, that makes it so easy to snap spontaneous moments and turn them into tangible memories.

This camera gives you more creative control over the final image, with 6 Colour Effects that allow you to customise the mood and tone of your shots - from nostalgic Sepia and Faded Green, to Light Blue and Warm Tone. Brightness Control, Vignette Mode and Double Exposure Mode also give more ways to experiment.

instax Singapore Official have a trade-in offer from now till 30th Sept 2026 - you can trade-in any instax analog camera at FUJIFILM X Space and receive a S$50 voucher towards one instax mini 99 in Silver!

I recently heard the term ‘sleepmaxxing’, and, as a mum of three who is obsessed with her sleep, I’m doing everything I can to optimise my 💤 !

These are some of the things I incorporate into my night routine that help my sleep:

💧 hydration (just not too close to bed)
💆🏻‍♀️ relaxation
🔴 red light therapy
📖 no screens
💍 sleep tracker
🛌 going to bed early

💤 I get lots of messages about what sleep tracker I use as I’ve tried a couple - it annoys me to wear a watch or wristband, but I love the sleep analysis and getting tips on how to improve my sleep quality. Am currently wearing a Ultrahuman Ring AIR - you can use my code LYDIAS10 for discount if you were considering getting one.
