Book Your Salon & Spa Appointments Online on Bfab.MY

25 February 201625 February 2016

Dying for a massage? Hair needs to be done? Looking for a much needed manicure and pedicure? Look no more- just open your browser and go to bfab.my. What’s this website you ask?

Bfab.my

First, find the service you would like to engage in- from haircut to spa to facial and many more! Check out the services that are available. After that, select it and make an appointment. Yes, it is all done online, anywhere! How convenient, right? It’s really a pain to Google the nearest shop, then Google the business hours (if any) and then contact number. If that’s not enough, you also need to Google for the price (seriously?!?). So much time wasted on just researching for ONE place.

Another added feature that I like is the list of other services a shop offers. I want to be able to get my hair and nails done at the same place, if possible. No more rushing to another destination to get a different treatment. In a way, this feature is able to help you in your schedule if you have a super tight one 🙂

Bfab.my makes your life much more easy. You only need to go to the website, select the desired shop and make an appointment. I can’t remember the countless amount of times I have struggled to find contact numbers online to book for an appointment, this website is definitely bookmarked!

They’re also having a 15% of everything until the 31st of March. Just use the code ‘giveme15’ or click the banner below.

Having said that, I’m in dire need of a massage! I’ve been saying it ever since I gave birth but never got the time to actually go. Soon for sure!

Top 5 Things I Want to Buy from Ensogo Malaysia

22 February 201622 February 2016

Having a baby means possessing a very long and endless wishlist. This ranges from baby essentials like diapers to baby accessories like a booster seat or a soft structured carrier (I had three of those!). While they’re just a list of desired things, one can still dream, yes? (oh husband take note AHEM) Lately, I’ve stumbled upon an e-commerce website called Ensogo Malaysia. They also have localised version for countries like Hong Kong, Singapore and Thailand. I know, right? Another website to bookmark when shopping online for the best deals (shut up and take my moneyyyyy).

Ensogo Malaysia

At a quick glance, being a web designer, I am quite anal on web UI especially when I need to look for something. I like how the categories on Ensogo are visible as soon as I enter the website and that everything is clean, neat and arranged in grid-like sections.

thealmosthousewife ensogoEven the categories are made unique by placing them in ‘floors’, just like in a real shopping mall.

I had obviously scrolled to 7F which is the Baby & Maternity section (baby comes first these days lol). It’s hard to choose when there are so many great deals offered but if I must, here’s the top 5 items in my wishlist that I would like to purchase (or have someone buy for me :P)

5. Hape, Doctor On Call toy

Hape is known as a top-notch brand for their wooden toys. This set costs RM79.90, I mean, should definitely buy, right? It’s Hape! I would get this because my husband is obsessed with our daughter going to the Royal College of Surgeons when she’s older haha. Hopefully her interest in medical will blossom.

4. Cash Counter Register Machine

I wish I am a kid again. I’d buy this for myself my daughter so she won’t miss the fun that cash registers can be.

3. Picardo ‘Tyson’ Safety Gate

This is a must thing to install in your house if you live in a two-storey house like me. My baby have yet to crawl so I’ll probably have less than 2 months before she starts roaming around and climbing the stairs.

2. Mamas & Papas Baby Snug with Play Tray (Red)

From RM368 it is now RM265! That’s quite a generous amount of discount! Yes in red because it is one of my favourite colours. Also it is on LIMITED OFFER *gasp* 

1. Philips Avent Steamer and Blender Combined

This useful electronic appliance takes the first place in my wishlist. The dual-function of steamer and blender makes preparing food for my baby fast and easy. She will be starting on solids in less than a month so this item is definitely good for me. Currently on limited offer at RM419 from RM488! I am sold!

Stretching your Ringgit using ShopBack and Hotels.com

20 February 201618 February 2016

Having a child is perhaps one of the heaviest financial commitments a couple could get into – but extremely joyful being able to wake up each morning looking at that sweet innocent face sleeping. Over the long run, raising a child could possibly be more expensive than owning a house and definitely more expensive than owning a car. As such, it is imperative to try stretching every Ringgit and Sen wherever we can. My husband, being a diligent planner, tries to put our expenses into Microsoft Excel and identify areas where we can save on. Apart from that, he’s quite a good online bargain hunter – always hunting for online shopping sites for cashback and voucher codes.

Recall in my previous article on diaper reviews, I have reviewed seven different diapers from different price range and reliability. I have also mentioned that because infants use a significant amount of diapers each day, diaper costs can be quite hefty. So in this article, I will share some of our online spending tips which could help save some money for your child’s college fund.

1. Be an online bargain hunter

Baby items are generally cheaper online compared with brick-and-mortar stores. Coupled with credit card discounts, special event discounts, discount vouchers, discount codes etc., the end savings you can get can be quite significant. In total, since my daughter was born, I have purchased in excess of 700 pieces of diapers online! Here are some of my shopping tips:

2. Buying in bulk

I do not have to elaborate on this but buying in bulk is most often cheaper than buying individual packs. Although diapers have a typical lifespan of around two-three years, they can last much longer if the pack is properly sealed and stored in a cool dry odorless place. These days, there are plenty of online marketplace selling similar items but at various discounts. So the key is to be a little bit more hardworking (or some would say kiasu) to shop around to get the best discounts, best rebates, most cashbacks and of course, free shipping. One great site which I think offers extra discounts and cashback is Shopback.my. Hey, no one would complain getting cash deposited into your bank account or Paypal account for every online purchase made via this site!

3. Planning trips early

As most of my avid followers and readers would know, I hail from the ‘Land beneath the wind’ or for the less informed, Sabah and my husband is from ‘Semenanjung’ or also known as Peninsular Malaysia. We currently reside in KL. As such, we normally make our pilgrimage back to Sabah about twice in a year. Now that we are with an infant, there are additional costs to pay and soon enough, an additional ticket to buy – MORE THE REASON TO HUNT FOR CHEAP TICKETS AND TO GET MORE CASHBACK! Again, Shopback.my is a great site as it offers up to 8% cashback for purchases made on airasiago.com.my.

Back in 2014 when I got married, we used another great website, Hotels.com to book hotel rooms for our relatives when we had our second wedding reception in Kota Kinabalu. We saved a great deal of money by planning early and by utilizing special discounts offered online. Again, to enjoy Hotels.com discount codes, you can always check out Shopback.my

On a similar note, the more ‘traditional’ way of getting great holiday or travel packages is by flocking and wrestling your way through the sweaty crowd for travel deals at the Matta Fair 2016 – which just-if-anyone-of-you-would-like-to-know is happening this 11-13 March 2016 at PWTC KL. But why not book cheap flight tickets and holidays at home instead? Shopback.my is also having its own ‘Matta Fair’ (lol) featuring deals from Agoda, Expedia, Hotels.my etc. With the cashbacks, who knows you could end up with cheaper deals compared with the Matta Fair instead?

I hope this little knowledge sharing article would shed some insights to my fellow readers and I hope that all of us would be able to fill-up those little piggy banks we have beside our beds. Sounds good? Sign up now then!

Oh wait, there’s more.

37582a7d-224f-4cab-8439-299e1953b64eOn 22nd February 2016, ShopBack Malaysia will be celebrating their 1st Year Anniversary with a HUGE SALE.
