Review: KIDAONE Elderberry + Colostrum

Assalamualaikum guys! πŸ’—

Sepanjang outbreak since early march this year, boleh kira pakai jari berapa kali i bawak icha pi mall. Itupun sebab ada hal penting. If not memang duduk rumah je. Luckily icha sejenis yang suka duduk rumah. 

This pandemic definitely buat I as a mom jadi extra protective with icha's well being. Kalau icha sakit, i jadi extra kalut. Korang pulak macamana? Apa yang mommies daddies buat/ beli for your kids to ensure they stay healthy tambah tambah lagi during this season? Icha consume vitamin daily. But i dont think its enough for her. Ke i paranoid sangat? πŸ˜…

Selain dari isu dekat atas ni. i ada lagi satu isu lain. 

I think if you guys follow me closely on Instagram you will know that icha was fully bf (breastfeeding) for 2y+. But I (read: icha) facing poop difficulties when she stopped bf last year. I rasa mom can relate this. Anak jarang pupu or tak pupu = world problem. Kan? Sama macam I la. Kalut dok fikir apa patut I buat/ bagi icha makan untuk pastikan icha boleh pupu macam biasa. 

Phew peluh omak eh mikir apo nak buwi ko anak untuk pupu. 

Finally, I jumpa solution!

Comel kan packaging dia?

I tried this [KIDAONE Elderberry + Colostrum] untuk icha both for her digestive and also as a shield for her body 😊

I saw Dr Jezamine (Harith Iskander wife) shared about this product before. Lepas dengar banyak good benefit tentang produk ni, I terus tekad nak cuba untuk icha. I think, theres no harm in trying this product. Mana tahu kot berkesan untuk icha.. if tak berkesan in both of the problem, either one pun bagi i dah okay. 

So….

Apa kelebihan produk ni?

- Colostrum went through agglomeration technique which improves the solubility of a powder to turn to a liquid form, hence, can be easily dissolved in our intestine when consumed. 

- ColostrumOne™ is ethically sourced from high-quality dairies and underwent stringent testing to ensure high quality, safety, and efficacy.

- Processed both at low pressures and temperatures, and is spray-dried using indirect steam to maintain maximum bioactivity.

- it contains elderberry extract, being one of the superfoods for humankind. (fun fact: long ago, elderberry is one of the most commonly used medicinal plants in the world and shown to be effective against virus and bacteria-induced respiratory tract infections. It was the major ingredient in formulations used during the 1918 Spanish influenza epidemic.)

Semua orang tahu benefit colostrum kan? I rasa with all the benefit in one product surely will give the result that I want. Untuk permulaan, I let her consume it a few times a week. And I can say that I see a good outcome from it. Kalau dulu icha nak pupu memang hazab sket ye. Ambik masa yang agak lama dalam tandas. Recently, she can poop easily. Mula mula I tak notice this, after some time baru I sedar. Dah takda drama nak pupu dari icha. Before this kemain susah nak ajak poop. Now bila sebut nak poop easily sit in the toilet and do her business haha.

Bentuk tablet dan warna πŸ˜€

Ah yes, sebelum lupa product ni sesuai untuk anak berusia 2 tahun dan keatas yang mampu mengunyah dengan sendiri. Produk ni ialah sejenis tablet. Jadi makes sure anak ada ability to chew oki! If tak sure, please don’t gambe your kids safety with phrase ‘ala nak try jeee’ oki. I couldn't explain the taste macamana, sebab bila i tanya icha she asked me to give it a try. "Ibu try la, nanti ibu senang nak poop" hahahahha this girl πŸ˜‘Anyway.. i love the results and how it effect icha's. Takda isu susah nak poop dah sekarang. No more waiting game macam "bila icha nak pupu" "Icha tak rasa sakit perut ke". We don't have to buy icha punya magic fruits dah untuk buat icha pupu. For us, dah kira macam achievement. I bagi 10 bintang for this product! 🌟

If you happen to face the same difficulties macam icha, maybe you can try this for your kids. Who knows it might do wonder sama macam it happen to icha kan?

My first ever laser treatment by Ozhean AM Clinic Bangsar!

Assalamualaikum, hai guys! πŸ’—

I am so excited to share this experience with you. I never tried this kind of treatment before. Dengar perkataan laser pun I dah cuak, inikan nak buat laser dekat muka. I siap bayang kalau terkena laser dekat any part of our body it will cut itself instantly. Drama bukan? :p

I used to have this acne-free skin since high school, so I did my skincare routine whenever I feel like doing it. Yeah. Bad I know. Everything seems okay. But since last two months kulit muka I jadi senang berparut bila naik jerawat, luka susah nak heal and what makes it worse is I always get acne on my face. Definitely abnormal and buat I gelabah. Padan muka :p

So recently I got this luxury to try out this treatment from Ozhean AM Clinic! 

They even provide me with a permit letter in case I got stuck in any of the roadblocks during this CMCO period. Hassle-free kan? As soon as I reach there, the worker greets me nicely. As usual, I need to scan mysejahtera apps and do temperature checking upon entering the clinic. While waiting they even serve me with a hot tea – brought specially from Korea. Rindu koreaaaaa!

During the consultation, I was attended by Dr Chang. When I showed her my current face condition, she instantly told me that I had dry skin. I told her that I use acne skincare range to help with the condition but according to her it will cause my skin to become extra dry. I taktahu pun it can cause this much effect. I ingat bila I pakai the acne range, kulit I akan makin okay. My bad. I bet she must feel tired when I bombard her with the basic skincare routine that I need to do. But she was so calm entertained all my questions. Haha, Sorry Dr! 

Anyway, Dr Chang suggests me to try the FIT Pico Duo Treatment = Pico Toning Laser Treatment + Long Pulse Laser for skin rejuvenation.

FIT tu apa?

“FIT is a customized premium program to FIT everyone skin. With a registered trademark in Korea, FIT program is a customized program that combines different laser treatments to achieve the best results for you.” Our founder, Dr Park Ji-Youn, a certified Korea dermatologist believes that by combining different lasers treatment achieve better results as compared to just having one single laser treatment. This has been proven, as, since 2015, Ozhean Korea has transformed more than 20,000 faces. More than 80% of our FIT program are repeat and satisfied customers. It is our mission to transform lives one face at a time.”

I did this “FIT Pico Duo Pigment treatment”. It helps in even out uneven skin tone and improves skin texture (which is my main concern) through collagen stimulation that also helps to boost skin hydration. 

The flow of the process was like this:

Consultation with Doctor & Skin Analysis 

Cleansing 

Treatment 



Post care

I was a bit scared at the beginning sebab I taktahu what to expect for this treatment. I was like “will it hurt me” or “will I feel nothing” or “will it bleeds?” etc. Drama kan? 😝 I feel the mild electric shock throughout the laser process. Rasa dia similar to the electric shock that u feel masa u pegang trolly supermarket (if u pernah kena that kind of shock lah hehe). But it was bearable. Towards the end, I already get used to the shock. Jangan risau oki, treatment ni sat jeeeee! πŸ˜‰

Bila dah habis treatment tu I ada rasa a bit gatal. This was normal according to Sue Anne (the one who assisted me throughout the process. Thanks babe! Hehe). After I came back home, I didn’t feel any more itchiness. There was no pain at all. Serious. Takda peeling, takda kulit kering or anything. The keyword for the post-treatment is to put on moisturizer and sun protection! Very important oki! So all I did the past week was to moisturize my skin, wear face mask daily and put on sunscreen.

You guys can head over to their website (www.ozheanam.com) to find out more about the treatment offered!  They have 2 branches in Kuala Lumpur, which are in Bangsar and Bukit Jalil if you feel like coming and get the face to face consultation before you want to proceed with any of the treatment too πŸ˜‰


p/s: Dr Chang let me try the Pico laser for Lips Lightening which is priced at RM500 for free! I have this darker lip tone problem by the way. Love the outcome!

Last month of the year!

Assalamualaikum, hai guys πŸ’—

It's already in December. 

Banyak sangat benda jadi this year. But lets put that aside. Paling penting Allah bagi peluang bernafas sampai ke hari ini. Alhamdulillah.. Nimat mana yang nak didustakan lagi kan?

How was your 2020? 

I rasa almost everyone is affected due to the pandemic. Be it for work, family, health, or even money. Semua benda buat stress, semua benda makes things worse. Kan? I doakan, semoga kita sama sama kuat inshaAllah. 

I asked myself the other day.... Apa yang I dah achieve for this year? 

I manage to cross something from my wishlist. But of course 3/4 from my 2020 resolution tergantung sepi di situ. Termasukla plan nak pi holiday. Sedih tu adela sket, tapi i look forward for 2021 in few days time. Semoga yang baik baik untuk i, keluarga kecik i dan orang sekeliling i.

Oh ya, tahun ni eventho dah slow down contest in the second half of 2020 Allah swt masih hadirkan rezeki untuk kami sekeluarga. More than 200 winning from social media and offline contest. Maka, nikmat tuhan ya mana yang nak didustakan lagi kan? Kalau covid takda, this year will be our second year to travel to korea dengan kemenangan contest. Tapi disebabkan pandemic, the prize change to something else yang best juga hehe. Siapa sangka dengan contest juga dapat cash money nearly 10K in total. Sikit sikit lama lama jadi bukit kan? Cash voucher jangan cakap lah, every month with the cash voucher winning we manage to spend it on basic necessities and also makan sedap. Pastu gemok komplen..... eh 😝

Paling best dapat hadiah yang dah lama di idamkan. Vacuum robot, tv, jam, pakej spa best, luggage, carseat & staycation. 

Anyway.. My contest mood dah tenggelam tak timbul timbul these past few months. Semoga tahun depan rajin sikit lah, kalau idak rugi. #misibarangbabyfree #eh

Kawan kawan menang best apa tahun ni? Mehla share 🌸

Babai 2020, you are good to go! Annyeong!

Beza IUD & Depo injection

Hi guys, Assalamualaikum πŸ’—

Since I dapat banyak inquiry regarding this, I buat one entry terus ya. Easy for everyone to read and compare whichever suits them best 😊

Sebelum I share my experience in detail, meh I explain apa itu IUI & Depo.

IUD ataupun some call it as IUI ialah sejenis alat perancang yang akan dimasukkan melalui bahagian bawah untuk diletakkan di bahagian rahim. Ada banyak jenis IUD dalam pasaran with different shape, function and price. I guna jenis copper. Copper type IUD can last up to 5 years, with minimal effect. Anyway, birth plan jenis ni, sekali je pakai. I guess less hassle?

Depo or known as Depo Provera injection. Perlu diambil 3 bulan sekali, tak boleh lambat ya, if not your birth plan may fail. Suntikan ni ada hormone progeston yang akan membantu untuk menghalang ovulasi dari berlaku. 

So mana satu yang okay? Nak tahu best ke tak, baca my experience dekat bawah ni.

IUD vs DEPO (personal experience oki)

DEPO: I guna suntikan depo sebab I takut dengan IUD. Eventho nurse ada propose IUD banyak kali, I firmly cakap taknak.. Sebab IUD masuk ikut bawah. Trauma I bersalinkan icha masih belum habis :p Takut betul teringatkan cek bukaan masa nak bersalin last 4 years. So, I naively use this method for more than 2 years. 

Sepanjang I guna this method, I datang period masa first month je. Then langsung tak period for nearly 2 years. Kalau tanya I, mestila I happy! This is definitely good news for someone yang ada period cramp teruk macam i. Siapa kenal I dari zaman sekolah will know how bad my period pain was. Masa jawab paper kimia time spm pun I kena period pain. Memang kelautla paper tu. Pergi emergency cucuk baru okay. Huhu. That was one out of many other incidents with the pain.

Anyway.. At the same time, berat badan I naik sampai 64 kg dan emosi I seperti ribut. But I tak sedar pun any of the changes. In denial mode, I think? Haha. I figure out about this once I change my birth plan. It's already late but at least I know lah how bad I was during that moment.

Cucuk depo ni sakit ya for one day lepas cucuk. Lenguh separuh badan. Masa sakit ni memang I emo. Hat ni I perasan haha. Sakit yang boleh bawak gaduh kalau ada yang cari pasal :p anyway I ended this plan last year Dec 2019.

---------------------------------------------

IUD: I change to IUD early this year sebab I nak regulate back my period. Orang cakap kalau nak conceive, period is the first thing you need to regulate. Some people ambik masa ya untuk datang period balik lepas cucuk depo. Some take months, some even years. I cuak gila masani. Masa nak pasang IUD, Dr will interview u first lah. Why nak pasang and all. Dr tanya I kenapa nak tukar from depo to IUD? Jawapan I sebab nak regulate my period and conceive. Dr tak bagi ya masa ni. Sebab IUD is quite pricey. So kalau I nak bukak dalam masa terdekat membazir la kan? After Q&A sesh, she approved my IUD.

Mesti tertanya kan, eh tak takut pulak kena pakai IUD? Bentar buk… 

MESTILA I TAKUT. SAKIT NAK MATI WEH MASA DR MASUKKAN IUD. LAGI SAKIT DARI CEK BUKAAN. 

Siap dr tak jumpa jalan untuk pasang IUD. She called her friend untuk tolong. Senak and sakit gila masani. Lepas dah pasang, dr tak jumpa the location of my IUD during scan. Adudu kena tunggu after lunch pulak untuk cek again. Nasib jumpa and it sits in the right place. 

ni bukan cek baby, ni cek IUD location hehe.

I bukan nak takutkan tau. Ni kisah benar hahah. I rasa sakit and tak selesa macam ada benda cucuk dari bawah for about one week. Oh ya, pasang IUD juga akan buat you mild bleeding. 

Tapi nak tahu apa yang best? I datang period balik one month after pakai! Phew after more than 2 years! Rasa seperti zaman sekolah masa first datang period 😝 Ah.. I tertarik sebab IUD boleh kurangkan risiko kanser rahim. Lepas one month akan ada check up juga, 3&6 months after pakai.

Okayla, paling best berat I dah turun to 53kg hehehe. Long way to go to 50kg. but hey, 11 kg loss definitely something to be proud of :p

So, u guna yang mana satu? Or which one yang u plan nak guna? 😊

p/s: Ada banyak tempat for you to get the family plan. Mula mula I pi LPPKN (this one berbayar), and I change to KK kebetulan LPPKN depo shot habis. I baru tahu KK bagi birth plan for free. Huhu I ketinggalan train on this.
