    January 18, 2025 /

    When it comes to home DIY and renovations, I try not to get myself entangled in that sort of mess.

    How to pick out great Christmas gifts

    December 20, 2025 /

    I love giving Christmas gifts a lot more than receiving them. Is that weird? I get a kick out of seeing a loved one’s reaction when they open their presents – it’s one of the reasons why I adore this time of year! I mean besides baby Jesus, Christmas gifts are the best part of the festive season! According to experts (*cough* – me, according to me) a really great Christmas gift has to meet at least one of these three requirements: It must hold sentimental value It must be something the person would definitely use (practical) It must be something that would suite the gift receiver (I call it…

    Hello, my name is Luchae and I have a secret obsession with online shopping. I don’t know what thrills me more – finding a great online shopping deal, or opening my purchase when it arrives at my door. Hehe. What I don’t enjoy, however, is that feeling of dread when buyer’s remorse hits and you realise that you’ve spent way too much money on an oversized rug that is the shape of a banana. These things happen. But I come with tips, my friends! Here are 5 ways to avoid the burden of buyer’s remorse: 1. When in doubt, add to cart  Okay, I know what you’re thinking – this…

    How to upstyle your bedroom with bedside tables

    August 25, 2025 /

    I’m sure you’ll agree that we moms take our sleep – and our bedrooms – very personally. Don’t mess with our sanctuary! But, even though it is our safe space, I find that moms often tend to decorate their boudoir’s with practicality in mind (you know – do my bedside tables have drawers to store my secret stash of chocolate in… that sort of thing) But there are ways to upstyle your bedroom without breaking the bank. And yes, bedside tables can definitely help with that. (Or else my blog post title would be totally off). The good ol’ nightstand can provide extra storage but a beautifully designed bedside table…

    To wear a leather jacket or not wear a leather jacket? That is the question. And yes, you probably guessed it, the answer almost always is: wear the leather jacket!

    5 tips for loving your mom bod this Summer

    December 21, 2025 /

    Finding the right Summer outfit is a tad bit harder when you are rocking a mom bod, am I right? I mean, we love our mom bods because they remind us that we are powerhouses, but, for the most part, the mom belly makes it a lot more challenging to find clothing that will complement your body post-kids. Superbalist has a few really cute dresses and jumpsuits that I definitely want to buy now! But, first, I need to learn how to dress for my shape.

    Once a year I impress myself with my Black Friday shopping skills. Whaaat – I am my own biggest cheerleader, okay? And anyways, who has the time (or moola) to go on that festive spree in December? First of all, I can’t wait that long and I don’t foresee myself spending copious amounts of time standing around in shopping malls. I want to shop and I want to shop now! Secondly, uhh that’s what that Black Friday sale is for, my friend! So when I discovered that Superbalist will be having a Black Friday perfume sale, I had to get in on that.

    How clean is your mouth?

    September 14, 2025 /

    This may come across as a bit of a weird question but – how clean is your mouth? No really… how clean? I’m only asking because September is Oral Health Awareness month and I thought to spread the word about good oral health. The thing is this, my dearest friends, so many people think that simply brushing alone is enough to ensure good oral health.  But cleaning between your teeth is super important too, because that is where majority of the cavities start! The team over at Sunstar GUM are actual gum health experts, so I take their word for it when they say that teeth have five sides and…
