Giveaway: Pasito a Pasito Diaper Bag

EDITED: This giveaway contest ends 15 October 2015

So it has been a while since The Juicy Mummy last did any giveaway. Have been a busy-bee with iOli Malaysia, making sure the first collection is perfected by a thorough QC process. In and out of factory like a true minah kilang phew! But really, this entire process of developing my own brand has been nothing but exciting. 

We are having our Private Launch with media and friends in October and iOli Malaysia's official partner for this event, Applecrumby & Fish has been so helpful in getting everything in order. In line with our main objective to empower women and promote healthy parenting on-the-go, we are very proud to announce that we are giving a free Pasito a Pasito Diaper Bag for a lucky yummy mummy. 

I have to be completely honest, I am a very vain person. I will never carry something that is not fashionable. In my life, I always receive free gifts and if the gifts are not pretty or at least okay looking, I will just keep them in my closet (don't get me wrong, I appreciate it but I'd just like it better if it is pretty teheee). Therefore, it has always been my principle that if I want to give something to someone, that something must be nice. I won't give an ugly gift, just for the sake of giving. Well, that is just me. Vain.

So when Applecrumby & Fish suggested that we give this beauuuuutiful Pasito a Pasito Diaper Bag (for strollers) as a giveaway, I was sold! Caannnn, I will also participate teheee.

This Pasito a Pasito Diaper Bag is hand stitched, direct from Barcelona, Spain. Pasito a Pasito is a brand endorsed by many celebrities and moms. Think Sofia Vergara & Shakira. This diaper bag comes in eco patent leather, and is lined in leather as well on the insides.

Applecrumby & Fish Bloggers Engagement Event (Discount Code)

There is a good news at the end of this post. Hint: Crazy discounts!

Those days, whenever I received event invites that had something to do with fashion, I got crazy excited. Like crazy. Being in this line, I get access to such events and parties all the time. But now that I have a small little baby at home, I don't get to attend those events and parties much. Priorities, babe. Priorities #BlowsNails. Nowadays, I really need to consider, double consider and consider again lol. 

However, when the event has something to do with great deals or children stuff - I never really consider. I jumped, and immediately reply YES to RSVP. Sucker, I know. 

2 weeks ago, I was very lucky to be invited to a bloggers engagement event that was organised by Moms4Projects for Applecrumby & Fish. To be completely honest, I was overjoyed!

The event took place at their warehouse cum physical store cum showroom at Kota Damansara. It is a double story industrial looking unit that holds their operation office as well as stores their stocks. The event started with some light refreshments served by Applecrumby & Fish and mingling session with fellow bloggers. All of us are mummy bloggers therefore it wasn't really hard to mingle because the common topics were always revolving around 'how do you juggle between working full time and being a blogger and a mother?' or 'I would very much like to follow your suits to quit my job and blog full-time' or 'what are we buying today?'. We mothers speak the same lingo, yo. I made friends with some amazing mummy bloggers and we instantly became friends on social media haha. The power of technology. And mummies aura. And I also met some bloggers who I used to deal with when I was with XYZ PR Agency. Small world, now I am on the other side, sort of.

 With Joyce Lee and Shereena Gill

We then listened to a brief presentation about Applecrumby & Fish and their products. I was actually very impressed because I am not only a mummy, I am a shopaholic mummy who actually went around the entire Klang Valley scouting for the best products for my babies. When I was pregnant to Sophie, it was worst - I shopped like a mad woman. Back then, I did not know of Applecrumby & Fish's existence. If I did, it could have made my life much easier! Damn. Everything in one store. ONE store. Damn.

After that, we had the chance to explore their double storey showroom where I felt like a kid in a candy store. I initially thought of bringing Sophie along, thank God I didn't because if I did, I might ended up going home broke.

Why?

Because Applecrumby & Fish is an online and offline baby store that carries a wide range of reputable and trustworthy baby products. They have almost everything a parent could possibly think her baby would need (you know lah how we mothers get crazy about this matter). From food, feeding utensils, baby gear, toys, health and school needs! It also carries maternity needs for mummies. How freaking amazing. Applecrumby & Fish is also sole distributor for some of the products in Malaysia. They supply to some of the stores that you might know of and been shopping at. To name a few - Moulin Roty, Stephen Joseph & Putto. Yes, they are that big!

The team actually source for all these products overseas (currently UK) and bring them into Malaysia. So, if you happen to fancy something that is not available in Malaysia, drop them a line then maybe they can make the arrangement to bring that said product to our homeland.

All of their products are safe, natural and organic. So for some of us (ahem) who are very concerned about what goes into or touches their babies' bodies, fret not when you are shopping with Applecrumby & Fish, you are covered. 

I had so much fun at the event. Got something for both Isaac and Sophie and almost bought something for myself too. Lucky, I was out of cash haha. 

And we also received very generous goodie bags. Thank you to the sponsors Putto, R.O.C.S, Buds Organics & Pumpkin Patch. I am and have always been a big fan of Buds so imagine my excitement when I saw Buds in the goodie bag hehe. Sophie loved the cute mug by Pumpkin Patch (she has been carrying it everywhere she goes hehe). I am yet to try the secret cream from Putto & the baby tooth paste from R.O.C.S. 

Anyway, check out their website and like their Facebook page because they constantly have all sorts of promos and discounts and you will be the first to know.

For those who are not really into online shopping, you can walk in to their offline store at Kota Damansara and go crazy! Here's the address:

Tropicana Twister is sponsoring 400 people to balik kampung to celebrate Raya!

Ever since late grandma passed away, I admit I never really celebrate Raya anymore. We do have simple celebration here in KL but of course it is not the same as in kampung. So we try to go back to kampung as much as we can, when time and financial permits.

I know money flows like water during festive season. Especially for a multiracial family like ours. Every year we have four major festive seasons to celebrate - Christmas, Chinese New Year, Aidilfitri & Aidiladha. We need money to spend on the new outfits, for the feast, gifts and for duit raya/angpows. And, of course for traveling expenses! Which is the most! Often, we had to cancel our plan to go back to hometown due to financial issue #sadcase #cry.

Every year, I wish that there is someone gracious and kind enough to sponsor us some cash to cover our traveling expenses. I guess God does love me hehe. My prayers have been answered #dramamuch. 

I read about Tropicana Twister's raya campaign. Tropicana Twister is offering a FREE ride with MyTeksi, so you can go home and celebrate Raya with your loved ones.  Book your trip through MyTeksi applications from 29 June to 3 July 2015.

I love Tropicana Twister. They are my favourite - my instant booster. Good for someone like me who runs around a lot. And now that they are gonna pay for my trip back, I love them even more! 

All you have to do is to register yourself and tell them why do you want to balik kampung and celebrate raya with your family - the answer is already there so what's left for you to do is to really be creative with your words. One tip, be sentimental. It usually works! Tehee.
