孕期日記：
Pregnancy Diaries:

第一/二個月：正常飲食, 正常運動， 正常生活，正常睡眠（什麼是正常睡眠。問得好。 有個3歲小孩後，能睡就是正常吧。哈哈）
Month 1-2: Normal diet, normal exercise, normal sleep (for a regular mom with a 3 year old toddler)

第3個月： 可以讓我睡覺嗎？ 我就躺一下就好。 喔喔喔！蛋糕！可以邊吃邊睡嗎？好吧。 睡～～～～～～～
Month 3: Can I just sleep please...OOOOOOH Cheesecake! No, sleeeeeeeep….

第4-5個月： 辣椒！！！給我給我給我給我！ 辣椒！重口味的東西！印度咖喱，韓國泡菜，麻辣火鍋，剝皮辣椒雞湯， 辣～～～～～～～～～
Month 4-5: OMGOMGOMGOMG. GIVE ME CHILI! Spices! Salt! Strong flavors! Indian curry! Korean kimchi, spicy hot pot, spicy anything, SPICY EVERYTHING!!

第6個月： 哇。我好像吃太多了。
Month 6: Oops. I think I ate too much.

第7個月： 我想吃。。。。。喔喔喔。 等一下。 我的肚子跑去哪裡啊？ 這麼怎麼那麼小？ 喔。 找到了。 現在是寶寶的出氣筒。 喔！不好意思喔。 我先尿個尿。。。。
Month 7: I want to eat… oh. Where did my belly go? Did it shrink? Ah yes, it’s now the baby punching bag. Oh! Gotta go pee….

孕期已經慢慢接近尾聲，醫生建議我吃綜合維他命（為了我跟寶寶），葉酸(有助於體內好的物質合成), 歐美加脂肪酸 Omega-3 (為了發育思緒健康）， 鈣/鎂 （如果你跟我一樣，會突然抽動不舒服。 為什麼一定要是半夜睡覺的時候呢？為什麼？ ）其他媽媽們可能會需要補充的有：鐵，維他命 B12, 維他命D, 等。
My doctor has recommended prenatal vitamins (just good in general), folic acid (for development of baby), omega 3s (for baby mental health), and calcium/magnesium (if you are starting to get uncomfortablelike me… Excuse me… WHY oh WHY do you always come in the middle of the night?!). Other supplements may also include iron, vitamin B12, vitamin D…
當然你要跟你的醫生討論最適合你的飲食與補充的東西。
Obviously, ask your doctor what’s best for YOUR personal pregnancy journey.

我會補充益生菌，幫助我維持體內的平衡。 不管是全職媽媽或一邊工作都是非常有挑戰性的，有時候你只需要多一點的正能量，或者可以讓媽媽跟嬰兒增加DHA，或是來一些蔓越莓、洛神花，或許可以讓你感覺更是個女人。
I also supplement with InSeed probiotics to help me maintain an overall balanced life. Being a working mom OR a stay-at-home mom are both very challenging and sometimes you just need a little extra energy (extra Vitamin B anyone?), or perhaps a boost of DHA for mom and baby, or maybe some roselle and cranberries extract to make you feel more like a woman.

懷孕真的是一個很神奇的東西， 然後你的身體能接受各種奇奇怪怪的變化真的是很強！我一直以來都是以“聽”我的身體需求為主的概念。我會儘量吃多一點蔬菜水果， 喝多一點水。我本來就蠻喜歡吃健康食物的人。 當然我也是會“滿足我的口慾 give into my cravings” （像是甜點（冰淇淋！！！），炸食物，餅乾，等）但如果是少量我覺得也許也是我的身體在告訴我缺少維生素minerals/vitamins/等。 或是單純就是因為。。。你。就。給。我。 就。 對。 了！（不好意思喔）
Pregnancy is quite an amazing thing and it does quite a crazy thing to your body. I’ve been trying to “listen” to what my body has been telling me since day one and in general, try and stay healthy with lots of fresh vegetables, fruits and healthy meats/seafood. Of course, I will give into some cravings (like spice, occasionally sweet desserts, and yes, even unhealthier things like fried foods) because I feel like it’s my body telling me it needs something I may not be aware of. Or because, JUST GIVE IT TO ME ALREADY… (yes,... hormones).

InSeed 益喜氏．機能益生菌

Courtesy of 56 years of constant practice. I'm getting better and better at maintaining a healthy relationship with myself. Another year older, another year wiser and I keep advancing in the #SelfLove department. Happy 56 to me ! ( It's still Dec 9 here in the States, guess I'm gonna celebrate again tmrw, off to bed now, nite nite ! )
Thank you all for your continuous love and support for letting me be me !!

The biggest gift you can offer me is to commit to advocating for Self-care and Self-advocacy.

#SelfCare - a journey that has no end. It's a conscious act that one takes to promote their own physical, mental and emotional health. ( #Exercise improves your mood and gives you an improved sense of well-being that can help prevent and treat mental illnesses like depression ). I love staying in shape because it makes me feel good and somewhat Superior, lol...

#SelfAdvocacy - the ability to speak up for yourself and the things that are important to you. Don't be afraid to ask for what you need and want and tell people about your thoughts and feelings. Not only you know your rights and responsibilities, you speak up for your rights, and you make choices and decisions that affect your life.

Someone asked me what's the biggest challenge during the process of reinventing myself. #SelfDoubt - there'll always be people that are unsupportive of your goals. Naysayers or critical people who actively say things to discourage you. There are also those who think you're stupid for missing out on opportunities. Truth is, in order to continue to be the advocate for natural beauty routine, health and wellbeing, I did turn down multiple commercial skincare product endorsement jobs, simply because they contradicted my beliefs. Ok, I'm stupid 🤪

My Story

People often ask me how on earth could a 56 yrs old woman look so young? What product do you use?

My answer has always been the same since I was 28. Self-care, healthy lifestyle and I use my own recipe to create my own essential oil products.

It all began in 1992, my then boyfriend's mother, Karen, who led a very organic lifestyle, introduced me to the aromatherapy world. I went from reading a book about aromatherapy to seriously studying it, and then working on creating my own recipes. Creating my own perfect essential oil blend took me a bit of trial and error but it’s a task that was a lot of fun. And of course, the biggest satisfaction came from seeing how my skin transformed over time.

It’s been a long time dream to have my own natural product line. However, in order to prove that my products work, I would need time to prove it. I knew that if I could let myself grow old without aging much, that would be the most solid proof that speaks louder than anything else. I was determined to show the world that leading a healthy lifestyle and using only organic products can truly slow down aging. We can all look amazing and age beautifully and gracefully without any help from cosmetic surgeries or regular visits to your dermatologists or esties.

Good things take time, after countless tests on real humans, a little improvement at a time, slowly refining all my recipes. Here I am, 28 years later...I'm ready to present you with my homemade products. The first in line is "For your eyes only", 100% natural without any preservatives, suitable for all skin types, organically and carefully crafted, and prepared by me, just me, with my own two hands, with love!!

There’s a saying that goes “ If you need to convince anyone else, be sure you’re convinced… “. Yes, I am, very much so…

For those who believe in me, I've prepared a small batch of my babies, all signed and numbered, each in their own little luggage just for you. Guess what? They've already arrived Hong Kong. They're only available through one channel, one person actually, my darling hairdresser, Gary.
Please WhatsApp Gary only if you're interested in my product. +852 98850960

" For your eyes only " is an overnight treatment that helps visibly smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, firm the look of skin and actively hydrates while you sleep. It's lightweight and so gentle that it melts right on your skin as soon as you apply. It's a 12 weeks' supply if you use it nightly. But if you're desperate like some of my clients, and you wanna see improvement sooner, the bottle will still last you a good 6 weeks 😉
