Choosing the Right Day Care for Our Babies

Jun 27

Work and parenting are two separate things but it should come together to establish and sustain the family. It is hard but we should strive. Everything will be better once we are adjusted to being a parent. It is not advisable to give up our job because it can help with the family’s needs, we just need a compromise. Though it is important to spend more time with the family, the fact remains that times are difficult these days. If we don’t get to work, we can never give the best to our kids.

If we are new parents, the dilemma is how to carry on with our work and care for the baby at the same time. The best solution is putting our baby in day care centres. Here are a few things we should look for in a day care centre:

Accessibility

This means that we should look for a day care centre near our house or near our workplace so we can drop our baby on our way. If something happens, it will be easier to get to the centre. There are other companies that construct day care centre inside the building. If our company is offering such, it is the best choice.

Facilities

As much as possible we want to give our baby the best environment since we are not there. We want them to sit, lie and sleep comfortably. We should first do “site inspections” and look for outstanding factors like infrastructure, amenities and safety measures. If everything is favourable, we should enlist our baby.

Budget

Of course money is a big factor. If we don’t want to spend so much, we should look for reasonable centres. If money is not a problem, there are many day care centres out there.

If we don’t consider day care centres, we have no choice but to hire baby sitters or wet nurse.

Wedding Gown Styles

There are lots of options when it comes to gown styles in Singapore. There are A-line, Empire, Column, Ball Gown and Mermaid, among others. Each of them looks entirely different, and each style suits a particular physique. Before you visit bridal boutiques, take some time to research about the different styles in wedding gowns. Doing so will give you a prior knowledge of what is in store for you. Certainly, any woman will be confused of the many options available, but a basic research of gown styles before you go shopping will help you fix your focus once you’re already facing several wedding gowns. Remember, the whole process of finding the perfect gown involves planning and preparation.

Your Chosen Wedding Theme

Your wedding theme holds all aspects of your wedding together. The theme is inherent in many aspects such as your venue decorations, cake, invitations, favours, and your wedding gown, of course. There is always a proper gown for every theme. If you are having a black-tie event, then the perfect gown for you that you can find from eternal wedding in Singapore is one with intricate detailing and which hemline falls just about an inch from the floor. On the other hand, if you are having a seaside wedding, your wedding gown must be shorter, have minimal embellishments, and be made of lighter fabric. Always keep in mind that you must choose the most appropriate gown according to the settled theme.

Other Important Details

Your Desired Hairstyle

Although you are not obliged to go to an expensive salon to have your hair fixed before you go shopping for wedding gown, it will really be helpful if you try to style your hair in a similar way as what you are planning to have on your big day. Your hairstyle is a major factor that will either make or break your total bridal look. Wearing your preferred hairstyle while fitting several gowns will help you evaluate your options. You will know if your hairstyle and wedding gown complement each other.

Wearing Cosmetics

Forget about the perfume, makeup and other cosmetics you usually apply even just for the days when you will be shopping around for the perfect gown. It is normal for any woman to want to look, smell, and feel good when she is with other people. However, wearing cosmetics is a no-no in gown shopping as it can damage or stain gown samples. You would not want to have a stubborn stain on your wedding gown, would you? Just be in your natural state during your fittings—no makeup and other unnecessary beauty products.

The Right Lingerie

As soon as you have your heart set on that perfect Singapore gown, it is equally important that you get the right lingerie that will work with it. For a smooth and glossy fabric, a contouring brassiere and panty set will make your body achieve a sleek silhouette. You can also wear a minimizer if you have a large bust, so it will look smaller. To add curves, wear a push-up brassiere. A good alternative to a body slimmer is control-top pantyhose.

Design: Of course we want a less conspicuous and bulgy spy camera. We can measure this by its overall design-size and weight. If we plan to carry it, we should look for smaller camera that doesn’t need any clips or wires. If we plan to use it for our business, we should consider the housing and the mounting. Features like convenience, sound activation and audio capture are an additional plus.

Image Output: The lens and microphone on spy cameras are small so we really can’t expect it to yield high definition video and audio. But we should make sure it can deliver a fairly clear video and discernable audio so we can use it for reference in the future. We should look for video resolution, minimum lux rating, and file format and frame rate.

Memory: The memory of your spy camera is very crucial. The more memory you have the more videos it can store. Spy cameras have built in memory and equipped with card slots for additional memory capacity. Most spy cameras today allow file transfer so you can make new space for new video once your current memory gets full.

Battery: Battery life should be considered as well. Longer battery life translates to longer recording time. Spy cameras vary when it comes to battery life but if you can find cameras with Lithium-ion batteries, better choose it.

Top Tips on Wedding Jewellery

Apr 26

From your engagement ring to wedding ring bought in Singapore, your wedding jewelleries speak so much of your style and personality. Before you go shopping for a necklace, bracelet, pair of earrings, and wedding bands in Singapore jewellery shops, here are some top tips to guide you.

Keep It Simple
There’s beauty in simplicity. Especially for a proposal ring, it’s better if you buy something that is simple yet elegant. After all, you can opt for a more stylish and sophisticated wedding ring as it has the greater importance. Furthermore, wedding bands in Singapore and other wedding jewelleries are worn to embellish and not to be the primary feature of your wedding attire. It is you and your dress that that should be in the limelight.

Tell Its Importance
An engagement ring is important, no doubt. It is a sign of a promise to marry the person you love. A proposal ring from Ling Jewellery will even have more meaning and importance if there is an unforgettable story behind it that you can tell to your family and friends. For example, your fiancé bought the ring when you were both on a vacation in another country. Or your wedding ring might be a family heirloom that has been passed on to some generations.

Follow a Budget
Money is equally important in all aspects of wedding planning—from the wedding venue, catering service, decorations, attire, to wedding bands. As what you should do in any other aspects, you should also set a budget for rings. Use this fixed amount as your benchmark when comparing engagement ring and wedding ring options. There are a lot of jewellery stores such as Ling Jewellery in Singapore that sell the finest jewelleries to the point that you might get swayed by their loveliness. Make sure that when you set a budget, you are not just simply thinking of an abstract amount but, most importantly, you should be strictly following it.

Never Overdo
Here’s the trick in wedding jewelleries: Never overdo it. No matter how obsessed or infatuated you are with the glitz and the glam brought by fancy jewelleries, make sure that you won’t look like a walking jewellery shop on your wedding day. Don’t wear a pair of dangling earrings with matching overly beaded necklace, silver bracelets on both wrists, and a Singapore wedding ring with oversized diamond stone if you don’t want your guests to have a disgusted look.

Always remember to dress moderately. That does not only apply to your choice of wedding dress, but also to your jewelleries as well. You may look gorgeously stunning even with just your ring and a pair of silver earrings. It’s all about confidence and how you carry yourself with chin up after all.
