Our little ones can never have too many onesies! Personalised baby gifts brand RAPH&REMY has recently introduced a range of luxuriously silky soft, stretchy and breathable Premium Bamboo Zippies. These short and long onesies have been designed for our tropical climate, made with sustainable OEKO-TEX Certified bamboo to ensure the utmost comfort without chafing or irritating your kiddo’s delicate skin. An earth‑friendly and amazingly soft material, bamboo is three times more absorbent than cotton, and has natural moisture‑wicking abilities that help keep tots feeling and feeling fresh.
Both the Short and Long Zippies come in five designs and five sizes (newborn to 2 years old), with no-fuss zips and a nifty two-way zip on the Long Zippie for easy nappy changes!
Find it: Shop the new Zippies range online at www.raphandremy.com with worldwide shipping available, or browse their collection in stores at Motherswork Great World City + Tanglin Mall, Mother & Child Tanglin Mall, TANGS at Tang Plaza & Robinsons The Heeren.

Started by mama-and-papa duo Doranne and Charles (you may know them as @themerriedlife on Instagram!) Little Happy Haus is a lovely new online kids’ lifestyle store with sustainable clothes, open-ended toys and handmade home decor. We’re loving the selection of breezy linen clothing sets, and their range of rattan wall hooks are fantastic functional wall decor for kids’ rooms!
You know we’re big on #SupportLocalSG here at Sassy Mama, so we’re always excited to learn about new online stores supporting homegrown brands! The One Orchard Store is an e-commerce pop-up launched by the Textile and Fashion Federation (TaFF), showcasing and retailing SG-based designers and their products. Available online till 19 July 2020, the One Orchard Store carries a variety of local fashion labels including Sassy Mama-approved kidswear brands like Hunter + Boo, Ans.ein and Minor Miracles.

Now that Phase 2 is upon us (!) and we can FINALLY visit our hair removal studios, after 3 months of no waxing I went to my beloved waxing studio STRIP and their recently-launched TWO L(I)PS Ice Calming Rescue Cream could not have fallen into my lap (pun intended!) at a better time! This calming rescue cream is formulated to bring sweet relief to irritated skin. It’s sulphate and paraben-free, and packed with sea algae, menthol and liquorice root extract to soothe inflammation and irritation associated with hair removal and environmental stressors, anywhere from your face to your vulva while keeping skin moisturised, firm and happy!

Ever since my first sugaring session in Phase 2, I’ve been making a little nightly ritual out of the TWO L(I)PS Bumpps Sebum Control Serum, Pout Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Serum and Blackout Activated Charcoal Vulva Mask – all of which have left me with such supple skin (and no ingrowns!). I also love that all the products are safe for use on both the face and body!

TWO L(I)PS is currently having a 25% off sale sitewide till 31 July 2020!
Singaporean mama-of-two Sherry Libedinsky started her vintage jewellery brand pequitobun 14 years ago while she was just a graduate student in the USA. After the birth of her second child and a hiatus from designing, pequitobun is back in the scene with a completely revamped website and a new range of earrings, bracelets and necklaces. Sherry combines high quality, unique vintage and found objects like brooches, chandelier crystals, buttons and lockets with modern-cut gemstones and fine metals (14K, 18K , 14K gold-fill and sterling silver) to create new jewellery designs that are affordable, eco-friendly and truly one-of-a-kind.
Her designs have appeared on the TV show Gossip Girl (so cool!); in publications like Lucky, Life, Style Weekly and the Boston Globe, and online at Glamour.com and FabSugar.
