DDODDOMAM Organic Rice Baby Snacks

Is baby starting solids soon? Rice crackers were our saviours for in-between mealtimes when bub just wanted something to nibble! DDODDOMAM is the newest range of rice snacks hailing from Korea – they’re made with organic rice grown in Korea’s first-ever clean tech area, Eco City Yangpyeong. Currently available in a range of yummy flavours including Sweet Pumpkin, Purple Sweet Potato, Banana and more, all their rice snacks have been created to fit perfectly in babies’ hands for better grip. They’re also very safe to eat, melting in the mouth in just 15 seconds and have minimal crumbs or ‘dust’ upon breakage (a common problem in most baby rice crackers!). You can rest assured all of DDODDOMAM snacks are made in the healthiest way possible as they’re not fried in oil and are instead made using heat and pressure with no additives. Take these with you for some easy snacking on the go!

Ladies-only Hair Salon Kantik Room Opens in Mandarin Gallery

Have you been on the hunt for a ladies-only hair salon, mama? Kantik Room has just opened in Mandarin Gallery and we’re smitten! Founded by the folks behind the ever-popular Leekaja hair salon in the same mall, the salons are located side-by-side – the only difference is Kantik Room is completely covered up for customers’ utmost privacy in their beautiful nature-filled sanctuaries! We love that they carry an extensive range of vegan and halal-certified hair products, so your hair gets only the best. Whether you’re there for a simple haircut, blowout, colour or treatment, this space makes for a lovely solo pamper sesh or a spa day with the girls!

“I got to try the Cosmos Certified Trisyscore Treatment hailing from Japan and it was bliss. My dry, frizzy hair was treated to lots of TLC (literally, because Kantik Room and Leekaja Salon Hair Director Dila was lovingly caressing every strand of hair as she worked all the products in) and the results were immediate! I left with delightfully bouncy hair (albeit under my hijab!) and I felt equipped with so many great hair care tips that I learned from Dila. The space is just stunning with all the greenery surrounding us – I love that we could even buy some of the plants on-site!” – Syazana, Editor 

Mention Sassy Mama to enjoy $150 off the Cosmos Certified Trisyscore Treatment (worth $240-$330!).
