Enjoying the Holidays with L’Oréal Paris White Perfect Laser™

Doggie boy and me

During the school holidays we took the kids on a week long vacation to Korea to have some fun. It was great time for the family as we go to spend time together and create many happy memories together. We visited the theme parks- Lotte World, and Everland .The kids even got to try out all the different professions at Kidzania. The three photographers in our family, Hubby, Monkey boy and me took hundreds of pictures each on our respective cameras.

I’m glad that I was able to look my best in the photos and they turned out really well. Having used L’Oréal Paris White Perfect Laser™ for the past six week has really made my skin look more radiant and it feels really good!!

I still looked fresh and alert in the photographs even though I had been out in the sun the whole day bringing the kids to sit on one ride after another.

It was rather hot in Korea as they too were having Summer. The UV rays there were quite strong. We were out daily visiting the different places of interest and in the sun a lot. My skin was exposed to the full force of the summer elements

I was pleased that the Protect White Perfect Laser™ All-Round Protection Whitening Cream SPF19/PA+++ and the the sunblock- L’Oréal Paris UV Perfect SPF 50 which I have been applying daily have helped to prevent my face from darkening under the intense sun.

My complexion remained fair and I did not get any more sunspots on my face even though we were out in the sun the whole week.

WP Laser technology has helped me achieve a more radiant complexion and I’m really happy with what I’m seeing in the mirror every morning.

Stay tuned for my final write up in 2 weeks time when I complete my 8 weeks journey with L’Oréal Paris White Perfect Laser™

Underwater World Singapore- A Review

Dominique Parenting and Kids, Reviews Underwater world Singapore

Two weeks ago we were invited to the Underwater World to view its latest attraction the Zebra Horn Sharks. It has been a few years since we have been to the place. I remember the last time we visited the Underwater world Doggie boy was still being pushed around in a pram!! The kids looked forward to visiting the place and I too was interested to see their latest exhibit.

the turtle

The kids waited around the Hawksbill sea turtle exhibit at the entrance while I went to ticketing counter to retrieve our complementary tickets.

Once the tickets were in hand we could proceed inside the Underwater World to view the exhibits.

dolphin lagoon

We arrived there bright and early just after the place had opened so that we could be in time for the dolphin show at 11am. It was the first time that we were watching the dolphin show. The previous time when we visited the Underwater world the dolphin lagoon was located in a separate location.

The star of the show- The Pink Dolphin.

fur seals

Besides the pink dolphins there were also two fur seal performing for the crowd. They performed a few tricks for the crowd and were great catching hoops around their bodies.

After the dolphin show we proceeded inside to view the rest of the exhibits at the Underwater world.

exhibits

The kids were captivated by the Jewels of the reef and spent a lot of time gazing at the exhibits on display at this booth. They had to be prodded along as the storytelling session by Bookaburra was about to begin in the room next to it.

storytelling session

The presenter read two different stories and there was a short art and crafts session at the end of the 2nd story. The kids were entertained by the animated expressions by the presenter when she told the stories.

shark craft

The kids got busy to creating their own shark eating “clip” after the story telling session ended.

When the peg is opened you can see the fish/creature that the shark has “eaten”.

the underwater tank

After the art and craft session ended we continued our tour of the Underwater world. We went to view the oceanarium which has a revolving belt to bring visitors around the tank. The place seems much smaller then I remembered since the last time I viewed it. The kids weren’t too keen to view the shark and fishes in the tank and wanted to go off for lunch as they were getting hungry by then.

As we headed towards the exit I suddenly remember we haven’t viewed the main exhibit that we were invited to see- the Zebra Horn Sharks. Where was that exhibit?

Zebra Horn Shark

The sharks were happily resting in the temporarily converted touch pool at the entrance. We didn’t realized that we skipped past them when we entered the place as there wasn’t any signage to alert us or inform us about their “star” exhibit. It could have been better presented if there were signs and displays leading to the exhibit.

The kids had a fun morning at the Underwater world and they enjoyed themselves. It was a good ending to the June holidays.
