for Burt's bees items is it reccomended to buy from iherb or other online sites have better pricing?
Click to expand...

I bought my items in Sephora Singapore when they had a 20% off. Still more exp than online, but since I'm not buying anything else online at that time, I just went ahead to get it.

Iherb doesn't stock Burt's Bees items. Amazon has, but they don't ship to Singapore.

If I need to replenish, I'll probably purchase on Drugstore.com when they have 15-20% off and vpost/CGW it to SG.

For mummies popping end of Jan or Feb, Baby World (Suntec 23-25 Jan) is releasing their pre order deals, Medela Freestyle is going for $599 plus free $30 voucher. Very worth it! Too bad it's too late for me, thinking of getting it at Taka sale tonight.

Babe, how much is Taka selling ?

Baby toiletries I prepared baby diaper cream/bottom balm, hair and body wash, moisturiser and no rinse cleansing fluid (for sensitive areas like face and diaper areas). Using mostly Mustela and Burt's Bees Baby Bee products.

For yourself you may want to prepare nipple cream if you are going to breast feed, and also bottom spray as you might be a bit sore below after natural birth.

Which hospital are you going ? Tmc will give nipple cream, bottom cream (bb) , shower gel and dunno what ... LolZ will check for you or any mummies if they want to know .. :p

The 14 best log cakes for Christmas


1. CHRISTMAS BANANA
$64 (1.1kg), from Patisserie Glace, www.cakeglace.com. Available from Nov 1 to Dec 20.
We thought this swirl of fresh cream and dark chocolate meringue with a whole banana tucked in the middle would be cloying, but it was surprisingly light. We especially loved the contrast of the
delightfully fluffy cream against the crisp meringue.

2. ROLLED APPLE CARAMEL TATIN LOG CAKE GREAT FIND
$26.75 (500g); $48.15 (1kg), from Raffles Hotel, tel: 6412-1100. Available from Dec 1-25.
If “pretty” had a taste, this log would be just that. Its lush mousse is laced with the delicate flavour of Earl Grey tea, while crunchy bits of caramelised apple embedded throughout it add texture and sweetness.

3. CARAMEL CHESTNUT LOG CAKE
$72.76 (1kg), from Grand Hyatt Singapore, tel: 6734-6731. Available from Nov 17 to Jan 3.
The fantastical mushroom meringues sprouting all over the log had us cooing – a good start. Taste-wise, the cake was an interesting combination of bitter coffee, sweet chestnut, earthy pistachio and sour cherries that played off against each other well.

4. STRAWBERRY MINT YOGHURT YULE LOG
$77.04 (1kg), from Sheraton Towers Singapore Hotel, tel: 6839-5636. Available from Dec 2-25.
Smooth as a New York bake, yet airy like Japanese sponge, this soft, cheesecake-like log is in a class of its own. The snowy frosting isn’t too sweet, but the jelly-like cubes could do with more fruity acidity.

5. BRONTE PISTACHIO AND CRUNCHY PRALINE LOG CAKE GREAT FIND
$79 (1kg), from Regent Singapore, tel: 6720-8000. Available from Dec 1 to Jan 1.
The “most memorable log cake” award goes to this fluorescent green beauty – the unexpected combination of nutty vanilla almond sponge, tart mango curd, and sweet-salty white chocolate and pistachio mousse miraculously works.

6. 7TH HEAVEN YULE LOG
$69 (1kg), from The Fullerton Hotel Singapore, tel: 6877-8178. Available from Nov 27 to Dec 25.
This stands out with its delectable mix of textures, from the pillowy chocolate fudge sponge and silky mousse to the layers of crunchy hazelnut nougatine and chewy melted marshmallow. Altogether sinful, decadent, and surely something you’ll want to warn your guests to save tummy space for.

7. GRANDMA 66% LOG CAKE
$58 (1kg), from Shangri-La Hotel, tel: 6213-4448. Available from Nov 28 to Dec 25.
This is the chocolate cake for dessert lovers of all ages – the buttery milk chocolate is not too bitter for kids, and not too light for the grown-ups.

8. CHERRY YULE LOG CAKE
$72 (800g), from Four Seasons Hotel Singapore, tel: 6831-7253. Available from Nov 1 to Dec 24.
Instead of weighing down the palate, this dark chocolate cake is unexpectedly refreshing with moist, loosely packed crumbs, juicy cherries macerated in alcohol, and just a touch of spice.

9. TRIPLE CHOCOLATE DECADENCE LOG CAKE
$55.64 (750g), from The St. Regis Singapore, tel: 6506-6860. Available from Dec 1-25.
Composed of vanilla cream, chocolate ganache and a copious amount of brandy, this roll is strictly for adults only. Once you recover from the potent hit of liqueur, your taste buds will find the chocolatey cake itself moist and satisfyingly rich.

10. MONT BLANC LOG
$62.95 (800g); $83.25 (1.2kg), from Flor Patisserie, #01-01, 2 Duxton Hill, tel: 6243-0813. Available from Dec 1-31.
The very soft, moist sponge roll tastes a little plain, but that simply allows the star component on top – the velvety squiggles of chestnut cream – to shine. Light and pleasant, it’s not at all cloying.

11. GOODWOOD D24 DURIAN CHRISTMAS LOG CAKE EDITOR'S RAVE
$74.88 (1kg), from Goodwood Park Hotel, tel: 6730-1867. Available from Dec 1-26.
Snuggled between layers of moist vanilla sponge, the luscious durian puree delivers a welcome dose of pungency before unleashing its unmistakable flavour. It showcases the king of fruits at its best.

12. CHOCOLATE FUDGE LOG CAKE BEST VALUE
$32 (500g); $60 (1kg), from Singapore Marriott Hotel, tel: 6831-4708. Available from Nov 26 to Dec 25.
Ultra-rich, dense and brimming with gooey chocolatey goodness, this is one solid chocolate cake that is without any distracting elements.

13. 70% CHOCOLATE MOUSSE AND CARAMEL BANANA CAKE
$37.45 (500g); $69.55 (1kg), from Fairmont Singapore, tel: 6338-8785. Available from Nov 7 to Dec 25.
Dusted with cocoa powder, this log uses chocolate made from a blend of cocoa beans from countries like Tanzania and Ghana. Its intense bitterness is moderated perfectly by the sweetness of ripe banana chunks and lashings of caramel.

14. CHOCOLATE ROULADE
$48 (500g); $96 (1kg), from Laurent Bernard Chocolatier, #01-11 The Pier at Robertson Quay, tel: 6235-9007. Available from Nov 15 to Jan 1.
Shards of chocolate adorn this dense roulade of sponge and mousse. The cake celebrates the richness of bittersweet dark chocolate, and would have been a little heavy, if not for the tangy raspberry filling that sliced right through it.

It is recommended that you order these log cakes at least five working days in advance.

I am also starting to look at car seats now, but i am a bit lost on what to get. someone told me what i buy depends on my stroller ? but what if i do not intend to go thru the hassle of a. unclipping the car seat fr stroller, then b. fixing the car seat onto the car , and then c. taking the whole car seat out again.

is there any one who just...heck care, and buy a car seat that is safe, and fits the car and dont bother if it fits the stroller
Click to expand...
I just bought a normal Joie Car seat, from infant to 3years old. Not too ex can liao. My friend also recommended getting those basket type that can clip onto stroller. But, since I already have a hand me down stroller, didn't want to buy brand new whole set.

I also always walk past them quickly, cuz don't want to listen to them talk.... sometimes they can be quite persistent. Got 1 time I went into the pharmacy to look see cuz waiting for hubby, they follow me throughout and talk non-stop (even though I didn't even give her any eye contact) until I told her plainly that I am not interested.

Ouch! Nowadays, I instinctively put my hands on my belly when I'm in crowded MRT stations and shopping centres. I'm terrified kena knocked by people who never see ahead of themselves, handbags, strollers, children running about etc.
 
haha.. I always underestimate my belly size and sometimes have prob getting out of car in tight parking spots. :p few times almost stuck or rubbed belly against wall to squeeze out.

Hi my hubby just bought baby's bees on Amazon. there's 10% discount now (click on the coupon). and they do ship to sg. free shipping.

I dunno if its cheaper than buying from sg though.

I find the smell too strong. like artificial perfume smell.

Got meh??? I look at Amazon website for the items I want from Baby Bee and it says
Ships from and sold by Amazon.com. Gift-wrap available.


This item does not ship to Singapore, Singapore. Please check other sellers who may ship internationally.

Did you buy directly from Amazon or a 3rd party seller?

If you have free shipping from Amazon, it is still cheaper than SG. I did the research, but cannot buy on Amazon. :(
