Toddler Activity : Coloring

Coloring session is more than just fun activity! Coloring is a great fine motor activity for young children. It strengthens the small muscles in their hands and improves their eye-hand coordination. When the kid holds the pencil to draw or colour, his pincer point is strengthened as well. Most important is Emir and I could both enjoy doing this activity together.

"Activities that involve colors have the power to develop and influence those abilities in children. When children take part in such activities, both the right and left part of the brain is being exercised. What does this do? It helps strengthen and develop creative thinking in children. This is a good approach to developing the child’s innate character.

Colouring activity has immense potential in the development of both the right and the left brain as it requires the help from both the hemispheres of the brain. Why? This is because colouring activity requires thoughts and coordination. Development and provision of life to thoughts is the job of the right brain while the hand eye co-ordination required to get a picture on the paper of to provide colour to the picture needs to be guided by the left brain"*Source*

I bought a coloring book and a set of color marker for Emir during our trip to Kinokuniya the other day. Initially, the coloring book was used to occupied him while we were having lunch but up to my surprise Emir seems to enjoy it so much!

Each time I hold the coloring book and color marker Emir will clap his hand excitedly and pull my hand so that I can sit beside him and join him together. I once tried to hide the coloring book and the marker away from him and Emir ended up crying out loud like someone had pinched him hard.

Most of mothers must be worried if their children started to extend their creativity to wall or sofa or even sometimes children accidentally mark themselves or their clothes while they draw and color. You, moms don't have to worry no more with Crayola Washable marker and crayon. I chose Crayola Washable Marker for Emir. It comes completely off clothes and skin and you can easily swipe any mark right off walls with sponge. Senang kan??

Price range - a bit expensive but I think it's really worth buying rather than you need to re-paint your wall or change your sofa, right?

'Don't disturb me Ibu! I'm busy coloring my book'....Sampai berkerut2 dahi tu..bersungguh betul!

Hasil creativity Emir..

Okay Ibu..I am tired..Can I just lay down for a moment?

Coloring is a great past time for kids of all ages. Sit down and color with your children sometime. You just might find that you still enjoy it too!

Enjoying my shower time..

My husband once complained why do I always spend quite some time in the bathroom while taking shower and him, on the other hand, just take less than 15 minutes showering and getting ready..Well..Guy is always a guy...

For me, I feel more calm when I take shower...As if all my problems that have been always burden me drained away with the water....Have you ever felt that when you are showering, you are tend to get a lots of idea or you might also do some thinking while enjoying your 'mandi' time? Well, I do!! *weird* kan??

Hence, I enjoy my shower time even more by using this....

Skin Care Product

Everyone dreams to have a smooth and radiant skin..who doesn't aite?? It is very important for us to take care our skin since muda remaja..Jangan tunggu muka dah ade line-line halus tu baru nak cari skin product to rejuvenate back your skin, at that time it's already too late!

When it comes to skin product, I would say that I am a loyal user of which skin product that I use..I started to use facial cleanser when I was 13 years old..At that time I just entered boarding school...Masa tu I tak tau lagi pentingnya to take care of my skin sebab kulit masa itu adalah sangat muda remaja...takde masalah jerawat langsung..and my very first facial cleanser was Olay Total White...sebab the price is reasonable for budak-budak sekolah macam I masa itu..I'd been using Olay for almost 3 years (lama kan??) then at the beginning of Form 3 (as far as I could remember..) pimples started beranak-pinak atas muka I yang suci itu...hehe..My mom suggested to change to Tricia's Tea Tree Facial Gel sebab maybe Olay dah tak berapa sesuai for my skin masa tu...Sekejap jer pakai Tricia's sebab macam tak berapa berkesan sangat..Kalau tak silap I, I just used it until final drop then I switched to Pure & Mild Facial Product...

I really like Pure & Mild Facial Cleansing Foam.. The texture is a white creamy paste and it smells good too..It has light floral scent but not too strong..After cleansing, skin feels soft and smooth, and squeaky clean! I love to touch my face after washing, it just feels so good!..Beleive it or not I used this product since then until I graduated..tak pernah tukar langsung! I've told you I ni pengguna yang setia..In addition to that I also used Pure & Mild Brightening Emulsion and Pure & Mild White UV Protector..tu pon lepas I masuk university..beli pakai duit scholarship...

After I started working, I changed to Dermalogica Skin Product after being consulted by facial therapist during my first facial treatment..My job requires me to work outdoor under the sun most of the time thus I really need intensive care of my skin..What I like about Dermalogica product is you can analyse your skin type by using Perfect Skin Care’s Dermalogica real-time skin analysis..It's like face mapping analysis in which your face will be divided into zone..By doing that you'll know which Dermalogica skin product suits for your face..My face is dry and a little bit oily, so my facial therapist recommended me to use Dermalogica Essential Cleansing Solution, Dermalogica Daily microfoliant, Dermalogica Multi-Active Toner and for moisturiser Dermalogica Active moist..Besides that I also use Dermalogica Oil-Free Matte Block for sunscreen..It has SPF 20 to protect skin from ultraviolet ray..

Dermalogica Essential cleansing solution

It has a milky texture and water-soluble. Apart of using it as a cleanser, I also use it as make-up removal. Easy to rinse off leaving the skin refreshingly clean, soft and supple.

Dermalogica Daily microfoliant

Oh! I really like this scrub!..This unique, rice-based enzyme powder microfoliates dulling debris and instantly leaves the skin noticeably smoother and brighter. Just need to put a little bit of this microfoliates powder and mix with water, apply to your face and massage gently.

Dermalogica Multi-active toner

This is my favorite product ever! It's odour-less and I feel refresh after using it. Sometimes in the mid day I just simply spray over my face..

Dermalogica Active moist

This light-weight, oil-free moisturiser absorbs without a trace, creating an invisible barrier against moisture loss.

Dermalogica Oil free matte block SPF 20

Yang best about this sunblock is ianya tak sticky and absorb really fast into your skin. Muka tak nampak berminyak even long after applying it.

My new addition of Dermalogica product.

Dermalogica Skin hydrating masque & Dermalogica Skin Resurfacing Cleanser

So far I am quite satisfied with this range of product..I've been using these product for almost 3 years now..Pernah jugak rasa nak tukar to other skin product..SK II perhaps?? Anyone yang pernah try any SKII product silalah beri pandangan anda yer...

Thank You for reading! Have a nice day!

"Perkahwinan adalah suatu ikatan suci manakala cinta sejati menuntut pengorbanan. Begitulah yang terjadi terhadap Adam, 24 tahun (Hussein) dan Maya, 21 tahun (Lisa Surihani). Adam kelulusan undang-undang tetapi lebih cenderung kepada fotografi. Maya merupakan pelajar universiti tahun kedua dalam bidang insuran. Ibu bapanya mengambil keputusan mencarikan suami yang dapat menjaganya kerana mereka terpaksa bekerja di luar negara selama lima tahun. Adam ialah pilihan terbaik kerana ibu bapa mereka bersahabat baik.

Adam menurut kehendak ibu bapanya kerana tidak mahu menghampakan mereka. Maya pada mulanya membantah kerana mempunyai kekasih hati, Dani (Faizal Yusup) tetapi selepas dipujuk oleh ibu bapanya, dengan alasan yang kukuh, dia akhirnya bersetuju. Walaupun tiada perasaan cinta, Adam sebagai suami telah bertindak bijak untuk mencari titik persamaan yang menyatukan mereka.

Mereka mula bercinta dan dikurniakan seorang anak. Selepas lima tahun, percintaan mereka menghadapi dugaan tatkala Maya digoda kembali oleh Dani. Adam mula berjauhan dengan Maya untuk mengejar impiannya dan ini membuatkan mereka sering bergaduh. Adakah Maya akan menyedari tiada cinta yang lebih tulus selain dari cinta suaminya?
