JoyAmaze™ Inspired!™: For Savvy Students

I am one of those parents who likes scrutinizing labels on food products to see exactly what my kids would be consuming. It is important to me that my kids get the right nutrients so that they can grow up well.

An important nutrient that every growing child should have in their diet is DHA. DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid that makes up the brain main structure and is essential for growth and functional development of the brain in children.

Recently, I was introduced to JoyAmaze™ Inspired!™, which originates from California, USA. It is a specially formulated chocolate drink with high DHA content and carefully balanced 12 vitamins and 10 minerals, specifically vitamin B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, folic acid, vitamin D, magnesium and iodine - all the requisite nutrients for a child to grow up smart, strong and successful. The DHA content in JoyAmaze™ Inspired!™ is one of the highest in the Malaysian market - amazing!

Other than being high in DHA, vitamins and minerals, JoyAmaze™ Inspired!™ is also free from trans fatty acid as well as being high in dietary fibre , protein, calcium, iron, and zinc.

Here are several reasons why I think JoyAmaze™ Inspired!™ is a fantastic, nutritious drink for my children (and perhaps yours too).

Q stands for Quotients and a child needs complete nourishment to enhance her Q's - IQ (Intelligence Quotient), EQ (Emotional Quotient), CQ (Creativity Quotient), FQ (Fitness Quotient), CcQ (Concentration Quotient) and more. You need to nourish your child's Q's first before your child can achieve those straight A's. JoyAmaze™ Inspired!™ can help stimulate the development of your child's Q's. (read more about Qs)

By providing our children with the right nutrients, they are able to do well in their studies. :)

JoyAmaze™ Inspired!™ is fortified with iodine, which optimizes thyroid gland functions which in turn helps improve a child's mental growth and intellectual prowess. This is important for me, as I would love for my daughter to be confident, proactive and interactive in school. This way, she will be able to strive for academic excellence.

Going to school, as happy and confident children.

JoyAmaze™ Inspired!™ is high in DHA (28mg per 28g serving). DHA, as mentioned previously, is the building block of a healthy mind and body and a crucial nourishment to trigger original thoughts and imaginative plays. This will help our child engage in creative play, thinking "out of the box" and come up with many ingenious ideas. 

Both my kids are pretty creative, as they always create their own games using household products and we enjoy making crafts together using toilet rolls or paper plates. It would be great if JoyAmaze™ Inspired!™ can help them further advance their creative potential.

Making snowmen out of toilet rolls at Christmas time

JoyAmaze™ Inspired!™ contains magnesium, which will be able to help my daughter improve her attention and concentration in school, and promotes healthy sleep after a long day of school and activities. This is especially important since my daughter spends a long day in school and needs to recharge to face another busy day.

It also contains vitamin B1, B2 and B3 which is crucial for the release of energy from carbohydrate, which children need for cognitive and physical activities. My daughter loves cycling, yoga, badminton and swimming so JoyAmaze™ Inspired!™ will be able to provide adequate nourishment to replace the nutrients lost during exercise. JoyAmaze™ Inspired!™ is also high in vitamin D and seaweed calcium which enhance the absorption of calcium and promote bone growth in children.

Each box comes with 15 sachets (28g each) of wholesome, nutritious chocolate milk powder and is priced at RM39.90. Simply mix 1 sachet with 180ml warm water and stir until dissolved, and it is ready to drink. We love the rich, smooth chocolate taste of JoyAmaze™ Inspired!™ - so delicious, my daughter finished the whole glass in 2 minutes!

JoyAmaze™ Inspired!™ is suitable for children and teenagers aged 6 to 18, as well as young adults from 19 to 22 years old. And yes - moms and dads can drink it too, afterall our bodies never outgrow the need for DHA, vitamins and minerals. However, please note that this product is not suitable for infants or for those with lactose intolerance.

Mummy can enjoy it with the kids too :)

JoyAmaze™ Inspired!™ is available at leading pharmacies and Chinese medical halls or you can also purchase it online at Rakuten. Do visit their website, Facebook (JoyAmazeOfficial), or Instagram (@joyamaze) for more info.

MARIGOLD UHT Milk: A healthy kid is an active kid

As a full time mum, my days are filled with lots of activities involving my kids. Both Hubby and I encourage our kids to have an active lifestyle as we believe that they will benefit greatly from it.

From the age of 1 plus, both my kids would go for daily evening walks with us. Not only can they keep fit and healthy, we can also bond together as a family. However, nowadays the kids have less time since they have school and homework to do once they get home, but we still find time to play in our garden/decking (something simple like playing ball or catch or jumping around). On weekends, we would take them to the nearby park to play in the playground as well as for jogging/walks.

After a morning of fun in the garden - our kids bonding with each other :)

My daughter and I also started going for parent-child yoga classes this year. We always have so much fun together at our yoga classes and have a good laugh with one another. You can encourage your children to lead an active lifestyle by joining in the fun, being supportive and they will be glad to have your companionship.

An active child will be able to grow and develop well and improve cardiovascular fitness. When we do yoga, it helps in improving our balance and posture - when we first started yoga lessons, our yoga instructor had to remind us to sit tall but now it comes naturally.

Since our kids love to eat (just like their mummy!), being active also helps them maintain a healthy weight. And when they're active, they are usually healthy, strong and have an alert mind. This will also help them academically, to be more motivated and build their self-esteem.

Improved balance

An active lifestyle = an alert mind, so my kids can do well academically too.

Kids need to have a balanced diet in order to get the right nutrients to grow up strong and healthy. For dinner, we will usually have rice/porridge, meat, and vegetables, followed by fruits for dessert. Calcium and protein is important for active children as it helps them grow well, have strong bones and they can get this through dairy products and drinking milk such as MARIGOLD UHT Milk.

Milk is important in building strong bones, which is crucial in promoting a healthy and active lifestyle. When kids have strong healthy bones to support their body, then they can do all the physical activities that they want and need to. We love MARIGOLD UHT Milk, as it is enriched with calcium, protein, as well as MARIGOLD UHT Milk's unique BonePlus formulation of Vitamin D which aids in better calcium absorption and bone growth. MARIGOLD UHT Milk - Very Healthy, Very Good.

A child with strong, healthy bones will have a strong foundation to enjoy an active lifestyle

MARIGOLD UHT Milk is available at all leading supermarkets, hypermarts, convenience stores, petrol marts, mini marts and provision stores in Malaysia. For more info on the product, please visit www.marigold.com.my/uht.html.

Maybank #iLove: Get 25,000 Bonus Air Miles!

When I was living in the UK, Hubby (then boyfriend) and I used to travel often to Europe for weekend breaks, holidays and work. Some of the amazing places we've visited include Prague, Marbella, Venice, Munich, Heidelberg and London. And everytime we flew, we were accumulating air miles to our frequent flyer accounts. Collecting air miles meant that we could redeem award flights and flight upgrades later on.

We love travelling

For example, with Enrich, you can upgrade from Economy to Business Class for 25,000 miles to destinations such as Melbourne, Beijing, Tokyo or Dubai. You can also redeem an award ticket to Phuket or Singapore from only 7,500 miles.

Thanks to an abundance of air miles, we have redeemed a few business class flights to and from Malaysia (only having to pay a minimal amount for airport tax and fees). This is a pocket friendly opportunity to enjoy the comfort of flying Business class.

Never in my dreams would I have imagined that I would also get to fly First Class on a long haul flight, but I did thanks to the many miles that Hubby has accumulated on his Enrich account. It was certainly a memorable experience for me.

Yes, I got to fly in style... First Class baby! ;)

And now, Maybank is spreading the love to their customers through a series of special offers. Called the Maybank #iLove campaign, customers can win 25,000 bonus air miles, enjoy 100% cashback or win a Volkswagen Polo Sedan when they sign up or spend with Maybank cards.

To be in the running to win 25,000 air miles, simply sign up for one of these Maybank Premium credit cards - Maybank World MasterCard, Maybank Visa Infinite, and Maybank 2 Cards Premier from 12 September 2014 to 15 January 2015.

The first 500 newly approved cards with spending of RM55,555 during the campaign period will receive 15,000 complimentary Bonus Air Miles while the first 650 newly approved cards with spending of RM5,555 in 30 days will receive 10,000 complimentary Bonus Air Miles. The miles will be credited in the form of TREATS Points to the Cardmember which the Cardmember can convert to his/her choice of either Krisflyer or Enrich air miles.


To apply, SMS 'AIRMILES' to 66628 or call 1800 22 1111 or visit the Maybank website or visit any Maybank branch for more details.

MARIGOLD UHT Milk: Building Stronger Bones for Your Child

As parents, we always want to provide the best for our children. In order for our children to grow up strong and healthy, milk is one of the best food we can provide to them as it has the right balance of nutrients. In our home, my children drink milk at least 2 times a day and the adults do not miss out too.

Every morning when the children wake up, they will have a glass of milk before heading off to school. This will give them a good start to the day and enjoy the benefits that milk offer such as calcium, protein and vitamin D. Milk also contains choline that aids with learning and memory which will help them with their studies in school.

When they have a snack in the afternoon, they also like to have another glass of milk - my kids are always happy to drink milk as they think it's a really delicious drink. Secretly, mummy is delighted and rubbing her hands in glee as milk is such a nutritious drink. And just before bedtime, my children will have another glass of milk; milk contains protein which will help to grow as it is essential as a building block for bones, muscles, cartilage, skin and blood. It also works together constructively with calcium to aid bone health.

Most importantly, milk contains calcium which plays a vital role in keeping our bones strong and in preventing osteoporosis later in life. Hence, ensuring that our kids get the sufficient calcium through dairy products in their daily diet is important.

Drinking milk will ensure that my kids have healthy bones which can prevent childhood fractures. This is especially important for me since my kids love running and jumping around outdoors. Drinking milk will also decrease the risk of tooth decay and weak gums, so they will grow up with healthy teeth and big smiles. Every day challenges are easier when their foundation is stronger.

We love drinking MARIGOLD UHT Milk, as it is enriched with calcium, protein, as well as MARIGOLD's unique BonePlus formulation of Vitamin D which aids in better calcium absorption and bone growth. Drinking 2 glasses of MARIGOLD UHT Milk per day meets our daily recommended calcium intake.

MARIGOLD UHT Milk has been treated at an ultra-high temperature to ensure freshness. It also contains no preservative and is available in 250ml or 1litre Tetra-Pak packs. We really like the convenient and cute packaging.. my kids are always ask for the milk with the cute "moo-moo". :) There are 4 choices available - Full Cream, Chocolate, Strawberry and Low-Fat.

With MARIGOLD UHT Milk, our children will get all the nutrients required for building stronger bones and healthier bodies so that they can easily take on challenges they face in their daily life. This in the long run will help them build strength, ability and confidence that will last them a lifetime. MARIGOLD - Very Healthy, Very Good.

MARIGOLD UHT Milk is available at all leading supermarkets, hypermarts, convenience stores, petrol marts, mini marts and provision stores in Malaysia. For more info on the product, please visit www.marigold.com.my/uht.html .

Win a 3D2N trip to Macau Blogging Contest!

I am in the midst of planning our vacation for next year and one of the places I would love to visit is the beautiful and vibrant Macau. 

Throwback to our lovely Scotland trip - we really loved chillaxing at the gorgeous Balmedie Beach. And I just read that Macau has a really unique natural beach, famous for its black sand. Would definitely love to go there someday :)

Macau is located on the western bank of the Pearl River Delta in southern Guangdong Province, China.In the mid 16th century, the Portuguese arrived and settled in Macau, hence the city's architecture, art, religion, traditions, food and community reflect the integration of Chinese, Western and Portuguese cultures.

Macau is easily accessible from Malaysia - you can fly direct from Kuala Lumpur to Macau, with up to 17 flights weekly to choose from. Malaysians also do not need to obtain a visa when visiting Macau.

There is just so much to see, do and experience in Macau..... here are a few reasons why we would love to visit Macau!

1. The sights
In 2005, the Historic Centre of Macau was listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List as a result of its unique historical and cultural landscape. The historic district comprises of over 20 ancient monuments and urban squares such as Ruins of St. Paul's, Senado Square, St. Dominic's Church and Guia Fortress. There are also a heap of museums to visit to gain more knowledge and insight into the history of this city.

The statue of Goddess of kun lam (Goddess of Mercy) located on the outer Harbour is another popular attraction in Macau. It is 20 metres tall and made of special bronze with a dome-shaped lotus base.

2. The Food
During our travels, we love trying the cuisine a city has to offer. In Macau, one can find Macanese cuisine with over 450 years of history, is a special combination of Portuguese and Chinese cuisine, with ingredients and seasonings assembled from Europe, Africa and South East Asia. A few signature items include Galinha à Africana' (African chicken), minchi and Macanese Chilli Shrimps. Not to be missed are local snacks such as Portuguese egg tarts, pork chop bun and ginger milk. You can also find high-quality Chinese and International cuisine here - sounds like a real foodie heaven to me!

3. Exciting Events &Festivals
Macau has a wide selection of events and entertainment all-year-round. The biggest event of the year is the Macau Grand Prix in November, and other popular annual events include the Macau Arts Festival in March, Macau Lotus Flower Festival in June, Macau International Fireworks Display Contest in September and Macau Food Festival in November.

4. Shopping
There are shops to suit every budget, from designer, top-of-the-range items which you can find at Wynn Esplanade, Shoppes Grand Canal, Shoppes at Four Seasons, Shoppes Cotai Central, The Boulevard in City of Dreams, One Central Macau and Galaxy Macau to bargains and knick knacks at Taipa Flea Market. Rua de Tercena near St. Paul's is the place to go to find art, antique items and pottery.

5. Fun for all / Entertainment
When in Macau, you can catch various spectacular shows including the extravagant production "The House of Dancing Water" by Franco Dragone - a brilliant water-based show which showcases the Asian culture on stage. Macau is also a family-friendly destination - I know my kids will absolutely love to visit the Macau Science Centre for some educational fun.

There are also two beaches in Macau - Cheoc Van Beach and Hác-Sá Beach – located in the idyllic southern and eastern part of Coloane Island, for some outdoor fun. The latter, which translates as "Black Sand Bay" is Macau's largest natural beach and is famous for its black sand.
