We’ve heard of mobile beauty services that come to you, but some are pretty pricey and offer a limited menu of services. Enter Urban Company, a home service platform that offers manicures, pedicures, facials, eyelash extensions and other professional beauty services right in the comfort of your home or office! After much success in India, UAE and Australia, they’re now available in Singapore. What we love is the convenience. Just select, schedule and book, and a highly qualified and experienced professional comes to you to provide a standardised service at a fixed price.
All prices are transparent, with no hidden costs (transportation cost is included in the booking price!) — Express Gel Mani-Pedi Bundle starts from just $49. Their beauty professionals can come as early as 2 hours after you’ve made your booking, complete with all the necessary equipment (they provide disposables, how hygienic!) and tools to provide you with a premium and mess-free experience. With premium services provided at an affordable price and convenience, booking a spa sesh with Urban Company is a no brainer for us mamas – this makes it so easy to get our self-care no matter how busy our schedule!
Sign up for their membership plans and enjoy an extra 10% off all services.

We know travel is still not on the cards yet, but how could we not tell you about the cool new Mountain Buggy skyrider?! This awesome stroller-luggage is a problem solver for families who are travelling or staycationing – no need for a stroller and carry on luggage at the same time when you can have a two-in-one! The skyrider easily transforms into a travelling seat for toddlers up to 15kg whilst still retaining its luggage storage capacity. When not in travel seat mode, it can quickly switch back into a normal 4-wheel, stylish carry on suitcase! Check out the Mountain Buggy skyrider in action below:

After their departure earlier this year, The Fabulous Baker Boy is making a much-awaited comeback and relaunching their multi-concept F&B brand at Aliwal Arts Centre in January 2021! We hear it’ll be a larger space with an expanded menu. The multi-concept bakery, patisserie, cake shop, café, restaurant and caterer to the arts centre, is the only place in Singapore to combine all these elements under one roof and kitchen.
The all-day brunch and lunch menu will include some new items such as Pumpkin and Ricotta Ravioli with burnt butter and sage, Sourdough Pizzas and Hasselback Potatoes with a saucy local twist will replace regular french fries. Popular favourites such as Corn Beef Hash, Chicken & Waffles and Ju’s Prawn Pasta that draw customers back time and time again will remain on the menu. And of course the stunning arsenal of cakes will be available!

Got a picky eater on your hands? Try these new healthy dietician-approved jams and sauces by HaruPlate! They’ve crafted magical blends from whole fruits and vegetables (optimally minimising the bitter and sour notes generally disliked by kids) using a combination of the ripest ingredients of naturally sweet profiles, herbs and spices. Every sauce is simmered for up to 5 hours and reduced, and contain no added artificial preservatives, salt and refined sugars.
“I love the recipe cards that came with my order! Using them as a guide, I prepared my 1-year-old some yummy applesauce sandwiches with the Chunky Apple Jam and made a kid-friendly fried rice with the sweet (not spicy!) Tomato Sambal. We can’t wait to try more recipes with the other sauces. My Sassy kiddo gives them a two thumbs up!” – Syazana
HaruPlate sauces and condiments are available at haruplate.com, RedMart, Shopee, Lazada and select NTUC FairPrice Finest stores.
Baby and kids’ skincare alert! We all know how newborn and young skin can get easily irritated and have a reduced tolerance to potentially aggravating skincare products, so it’s important for them to use products with naturally derived ingredients. ELLE Baby and ELLE kids are two Australian designed and French inspired product ranges with the gentlest products formulated for your little one’s sensitive skin. We love how gentle they are on young bubs, plus oh how good every product smells!
