Sherilyn & Cassandra’s 2nd Dose Pfizer Shot

Tomorrow will be Sherilyn and Cass’ 2nd dose Pfizer shot. I’m already starting to feel anxious over whether they’ll get side effects or not.

Alycia had high fever (39C) with body aches the day after her 2nd shot. Sherilyn was out of sorts after her 1st shot with mild fever, mild difficulty in breathing and felt malaise for days.

People say that the 2nd dose is always harsher on the body. I didn’t believe it until I experienced it. But I think it’s got to do with how well you take care of your health. I ate durian almost everyday after my 2nd AZ shot and as a result, had mild throat discomfort and felt malaise for weeks. Sherilyn stayed up late to complete her school projects after her 1st shot, despite me nagging her to shower and sleep early, only to be ignored 🤨.

And the littlest brat secretly exercised a few days after her 1st shot, when her sprained ankle recovered… and continued to exercise daily. She locked herself in my room with a yoga mat and came out with sweaty clothes. Stubborn girl!

Cass is hooked on making stovetop popcorn. She made another batch last Sunday.
All it takes is just 10 minutes using our trusty old wok. Cass managed it on her own.
She gobbled up the entire Tupperware of popcorn for breakfast the next day, while attending online class!
Our guilt-free popcorn, popped using organic extra virgin coconut oil and Lakanto zero-calorie sugar (suitable for diabetics).

Swimwear For All

Wildflower / Midnight Reversible One-Shoulder Crop Top

With most people already fully vaccinated against Covid, the world is finally reopening.  This means that we will slowly but surely see some semblance of normalcy in our lives again.  People are crossing states to visit loved ones whom they have not seen for more than a year.  Border curbs are finally being eased and people are planning to travel abroad.  People have also started partaking in outdoor recreational activities again.

One of the activities that I want to resume after a long hiatus is swimming.  I was in for a rude surprise when I fished out my two-piece swimsuit that I’ve not worn for 2 years.  The elastic band on the bottom had lost elasticity and the padded top is now too loose on me.  I have lost more weight during the lockdown and most of my clothes are now hanging loosely on my frame.  Isn’t this a valid excuse to start shopping for new swimwear? 😁

While browsing for swimwear, I came across Lime Ricki brand of swimwear.  The range of swimsuits are just what I’m looking for.  Lime Ricki’s range of swimwear are not too revealing yet incredibly funky, colourful, modish and exude charm and fun.  At my age, I am looking for modest swimwear that encompass all the requirements mentioned above.  

These are my personal favourites.

Retro Daisy Cage Bralette

Tropical Cinch Crop Top
TROPICAL CINCH CROP TOP at a sale price of USD43.99

Lime Ricki range of swimwear are designed by three sisters with a passion for swimsuits. They designed what they wanted to wear and their swimwear collection is practical and suitable for all body types.

I’ve never really fancied one piece swimsuits but the one piece swimsuits from LimeRicki.com are so pretty and snazzy – choose from one shoulder, Tuscany wrap-tie or peony caps; the designs are so alluring.

What I really love about Lime Ricky collection of swimwear are the vibrant and unique colours, bold pretty prints and flirty designs and most importantly, they are pretty affordable.  I also love it that a portion of all sales goes to charity in developing nations. Plus point for making a purchase!
