Now that we are still in the middle of quarantine, I’m sure a lot of you also miss putting on makeup. Only times I get to actually look more decent (hehe) is when I have online meetings. It’s my time to doll up! So today, I want to talk about a product that I fell in love with instantly. It’s In Her Element Butterlips Conditioning Color which I received before the pandemic started.




This formula is a balm and lipstick hybrid, delivering a juicy wash of moisturizing color on the lips! It’s designed to be comfortable and low-maintenance during the day, so that you don’t need to take too much precious time retouching.

I gotta say, their claim is legit! This is really very comfortable on the lips and is moisturizing that your dry chapped lips will definitely thank you. I also like that the colors are buildable and it’s very pigmented too.

Mayumi: a muted clay shade with a light brown undertone that flatters all skin types
Tala: a pinkish plum that creates a blooming, fresh look
Hanan: a fun salmon pink that brightens skin instantly

Here is Mayumi on me. It’s a MLBB shade and it the perfect everyday shade. I can imagine wearing this for daytime just like how I did it in the photo, or wear a smokey eye and pair it with Mayumi.

Tala is a staple for me. If there’s one color I choose for my lips over and over again, it’s a nice plum shade. I don’t know why, but I just feel like it gives such a nice pop without needing to wear red lipstick. I paired it with dark brown eyeliner and some flirty lashes and it immediately transforms as a sexy shade, don’t you think?

Then we have Hanan that is such a warm and sunny color for me. I don’t have a lot of coral shades but since Butterlips Conditioning Color is buildable, you can put a tiny amount and dab it with your finger and have a nice stained lip, or build it up to this gorgeous almost tomato shade lip.



As I said, all of these three shades are love. 🙂 I found myself reaching for these lippies whenever I need to put on makeup for my meetings. One because they’re hydrating and sometimes Zoom meetings tend to last long so I need something comfortable and non drying. Two the color is really nice. It suits any look! I’ve used it with bare face even, and it still made me look more alive and fresh. Hehe!


Lastly, I’m sure you know how much I love long wearing lippies. Well, I’m happy to let you know that this stains the lips. Yes!!! Of course staining is different from having the same color intensity. But I think it’s still okay, minimal retouching is always a big plus! Which of these colors do you fancy? Let me know because I really can’t choose a favorite. 🙂

I posted this video in time for Mother’s Day! I hope you got to see it. If you didn’t, well here it is. 🙂 As you may probably know already, I have finally given birth last December 27, 2019 to my beautiful babies, Niko and Nia. Here’s my story time video talking about how the delivery went, all the problems we encountered and how this birth was totally different from my previous one with Robyn.

Looking back at how the delivery went, I can honestly say it took me by surprise. I guess I didn’t prepare myself as much as I thought I have. It was a different ball game this time around, with a lot of highs and a lot of lows. But I still thank God everyday for these two cuties and for His gift of family.

It’s been months since I gave birth, but it still amazes me that I am now a mother of 3. We usually joke around and say that our family grew so instantly. From a “small” family to a “big” family as Robyn calls it.

Motherhood. With everything that has happened and everything we are experiencing now, it has really tested my strength and patience. It’s a learning experience, in my opinion. I learn so many things about myself everyday because of my kids.

There’s so many stories I have yet to share. Hopefully once I get things situated, I can share those with you soon. For now, follow me on Instagram as I post a lot of photos and videos of my three chikitings.

I’ve watched a lot of videos of What’s In Our Hospital Bag videos before giving birth even though I have already given birth before. It’s somehow therapeutic and also still very educational for me. So I thought I’d make one for the twins. It’s quite special because I’m actually preparing a bag for 2 babies. Well plus mine and my husband and another for our miscellaneous things.

So here’s what I prepared and brought with us to the hospital. I prepared a lot and honestly, we didn’t really get to use all of them. But I wanted to prepare extras because we live quite far from the hospital and I wanted everything with me already.

I knew I wouldn’t be using some of the things we brought but really, who would want to brave the traffic just to get one extra shirt right? Anyway, we ended up using probably half of the things that I brought for the twins. But used a lot of the things or almost all of the things I brought for me and my husband and from our miscellaneous bag.

Yes we brought a miscellaneous bag. What’s inside you ask? Since I didn’t touch on that in the video. Basically, things that we needed for the room. I brought an electric kettle to heat our water, thermos to store my Ge Lai tea, blanket for the hubs, two pillows (because I find it more comfortable if we use our own pillows), my Snug a Hug pillow (to also serve as breastfeeding pillow), some extension cords, an airbed and pump for our helper, cutlery and dish soap, some snacks for the family and also for us and water.

If you noticed, I tried to be organize also, labeling each ziploc bag per day and also writing down whatever was inside. This is such a handy trick especially if you have a companion in the room. I was going to get a Cesarean section so I knew I’d be lying on the bed for a few days and won’t be able to get up and get whatever was needed, so I had to rely on the husband and it will be very confusing and time consuming if he would have to go through all of the things looking for something, and so labeling each one and putting them together per day was very helpful.

It was also good that we brought extras because we ended up using a lot of those too. So we actually had to get one of those trolleys for all of our things. I think we brought 3 luggages and 2 ecobags + our pillows. Haha! It looked like we were going to check in in a hotel. Haha! But it was all good.

My delivery and birth story will be up next on my Youtube channel, so if you haven’t already, please subscribe so you can catch it. 🙂

My last pregnancy update- not just for this pregnancy, but for good. My husband and I decided that this will be my last pregnancy. We’re already set, we are a family of 5 and I couldn’t be any happier and more blessed. I gave birth to my beautiful twins last December 27, 2019.

It’s a bittersweet thing because I know I’m going to miss being pregnant and feeling them inside me, but it’s also exciting because it meant that we’re a step closer to holding our babies in our arms.

As I’m navigating my new life as a mom of three with two newborn babies, I’m also trying to adjust to our new routine and new normal. Hope you can be patient with me. 🙂 If you want to be updated with what’s happening with me in real time, please follow me on Instagram (@yellowyum).

How is everybody doing? I hope you are all well. It has been a difficult month, this March with the Covid19 virus and everything else in between. I really pray that we get through this soon. For now though, I’ll try to make use of my time wisely during this community quarantine. Though if I was to be honest, I’ve been pretty much in quarantine since giving birth to my twins last December 27, 2019.

Anyways, if you want to be updated with what’s happening with me in real time, please follow me on Instagram (@yellowyum).

In this video, I was on my 8th month of pregnancy with my twin babies. My doctor told me that I’d be giving birth before end of the year and that’s exactly what happened. At this point, I was on nesting mode and I have already started my babies’ hospital bag. I used luggages- that’s how much stuff we needed! Haha! I recorded a video of the things I’m bringing with me in the hospital, I’ll upload it soon.
