In the name of boredom really, I made a lot of online purchases this month. Seriously, I got to stop now before I turn into an online shopping addict. Somebody, please keep my credit cards away!

In this internet savvy world that we’re in, it’s incredibly convenient to purchase just about anything from the comfort of home and even OFFICE. I can go from store to store with the flick of a finger and make purchases in a matter of minutes.

I feel as happy as a child whenever I see a little crumpled package waiting for me to collect in my mailbox or delivered to my doorstep via courier. It’s that sudden feeling of anticipation and excitement when I grab it, tear the wrapper apart and discover the contents in it (although most of the time I already know what is inside).

Earlier this week, I received the Crocs shoes that I bought from the SMH Bulk Purchase. Every time when the Husband sees a package, he will frown and say “shopping again!” And it irritates him further when he finds out that the items are shoes. Simply because, our shoe rack is now fully occupied with Little Edison and my shoes.

Now, I have a very good and valid reason to buy shoes. Because we don’t have a helper now and I don’t have time to wash our boy’s shoes so often, thus I need to buy more shoes as spares. Reasonable, isn’t it? Now, our boy has about 15 pairs of shoes – excluding slippers. These are just part of them that I washed last weekend.

Yesterday, I received my dresses from MDS and I’m so delighted. They fit perfectly! I like to buy clothes from online shops. But when I don’t like the items when I receive them, I’ll chuck them aside. This year, I have an excellent way to dispose these items. I’ll give them to my staffs and colleagues as Christmas presents. Haha!

Today, I’m anticipating another delivery from DHL. Coming up in August, I have Ralph Lauren, Gap and Old Navy clothes that I bought from the oversea sprees and some DVDs from Amazon. I can’t wait!

Finally migrated to a booster seat!

Little Edison loves it to bits. He has outgrown his baby car seat but he is still too young to be properly harnessed by the car seat belt alone.

This is one of my best buy ever – Ferrari booster seat, $89, from Babybaby at Marina Square.

Finding a pair of shoes for boy in pre-school is relatively easy, but finding a pair that is pure white that he will like as much as you do is a little more challenging. Although it is not compulsory, the pre-school still prefers children to wear white shoes to match with their uniforms.

Last year, I bought Crocs Kids Rally in white for Little Edison. This year, I found something even better! It’s the Pediped Jake – White/Navy (flex) that he is going to wear to school next year. The design is so stylish and cute. I absolutely adore its tieless laces design as it allows the shoes to be easily put on and they are very neat too.

The shoes come with an additional 2mm insole to customize the fit so that it’s just right for each child. If the child’s feet grow, the additional insoles can be removed to extend the length of time the child can wear the shoes. We all know that children’s feet grow very fast and this additional insole is really a bonus.

Pediped footwear is recommended by Podiatrists and is said to be the closest thing to children walking barefoot, which allows the musculature of the feet to develop naturally and thus creating a healthy foot development for the children.

Pediped shoes are made from high quality leather uppers, foam insoles and cushions as well as flexible soles. The design of the shoes is also perfect for little children as they are donned with Velcro fasteners making them easy to put on and remove. Most importantly, they provide the ultimate comfort that our children’s feet deserve.

Now, I know why Pediped shoes are so popular among spreeists in SMH forum. I bought two pairs from an oversea spree recently. The price is about SGD35 – SGD40 per pair (including shipping). For superior quality shoes like this, I wouldn’t say that it’s expensive.

Little Edison certainly loves his new Pediped shoes!

Looking beautiful may just be a mouse-click away when we order our cosmetics and skincare products online. They are generally cheaper in price because the ‘product marketing’ costs are not passed down to the consumers. Quick, easy and lower prices – they are the distinct advantages of online shopping.

If I wish to buy any new cosmetics or skincare products, I will try them at the cosmetics counters in departmental stores and make my first purchase there. When I need to replenish my stocks, I’ll definitely buy them online since the prices are so much cheaper.

I get to know Beauty N Scent, an online retailer of designer perfumes, skincare and cosmetics, from the SingaporeMotherhood (SMH) forum. Their products are 100% genuine and they are purchased from local registered distributors. The prices are lower than departmental stores due to bulk buying and lower overhead costs.

I purchase most of my Kose and SK-II skincare products from Beauty N Scent. For instance, a 120ml of SK-II facial treatment cleanser is sold at just $55.50, as compared to $74.00 over the counters (we save $18.50!). I have the SK-II Crystal Club membership and I used to be crazy about earning points when I purchase the products from the counters. Soon, I realized that it’s even more worthwhile to have the dollar savings when I shop online. I pay lesser and I save the money, instead of points.

I’m now a regular customer of Beauty N Scent, and I must say that I’m really impressed by their prompt service. They provide free delivery for purchases above $150, otherwise a flat-rate of $4 will be charged. I usually receive my orders within 1 to 2 working days after payment is made. I really appreciate their thoughtfulness of giving away a free miniature perfume every time I make an order.

If you are concerned about the manufacturing dates of the products, you can check with them before ordering. I check the manufacturing dates every time I receive my orders. They are all within one year from the date of manufacture. Most of the international brands report the date of manufacture or expiration on their products. Thus, it is very easy to check.

Let’s check out Beauty N Scent now!
