Out & About : The Magical Unicorn party of the Butterfly Project


If you have reading my blog for the past year, you might have stumbled upon the post Unboxing The Butterfly Project Birthday Party Box where I shared about all the amazing goodies we received from the 4th The Butterfly Project Birthday Party Bash. In a blink of an eye, a year have passed and we just celebrated the 5th Anniversary of The Butterfly Project!


As always, Tammy Lim, whom we fondly known as Mama-san have outdone herself with the planning and the execution of this latest bash which had a unicorn theme! Unicorn itself are already mythical, absolutely magical creatures so coupled with a pastel theme …. you can imagine how it was. If you cannot, let me bring you through the party.


The butterflies (how we are known as under the The Butterfly Project) came dressed in various unicorn themed outfits, adorned with the unicorn horns too! Even the make up done was done to the theme, with glitters and pastel hue. As for me, I went the easy route of getting a onesie ordered from Lazada because I have always wanted one but never had a reason to get it, but now there is! Kudos though to the rest of the butterflies who put so much effort into their dressing.


Upon registering, we each received a goodie bag which included products from various sponsors such as NYX Cosmetics, Dear Beaute's Himawari Hair Care, Wanderlust Things, Koji Dolly Wink and belif Malaysia. More on that later one, let’s talk about the party first! The most important thing in this bag is a card which gives you access to the activities to complete at the event. 


There are four stations where you can complete the various activities such as Photo Booth from GNG Studiobooth, customize a mini flower bouquet at Everyday Flowers' flower bar, colouring an auto-inflate balloon from Brrrloon, and lastly we get to adopt a unicorn from 50GRAM!

GNG Studiobooth


Photobooths are now a staples at any event and parties which I feel is a one of the great way to immortalise the events. It gives guests a simple souvenirs to take home and remember the event/party by. This year, GNG Studiobooth have introduced a new service which Boomerang PhotoBox where a short video is taken and a Boomerang is then created! It’s innovative and definitely appeals to the crowd to be able to get a hi-quality videos too.


To match to the theme, a purple sparkling backdrop was used and on the photos, there was a customised border on the photos too! The customised border can be used to include any messages you’d like your guests to remember by. For the The Butterfly Project Birthday Party Bash, the team have used the pretty artwork of the party.

Balloon Activity by Brrrloon


One of the most interesting activity we got to do was actually the colouring of an inflatable balloon. We were each handed out a seemingly ordinary flat balloon on a stick but this balloon is one that can magically inflate itself. How it works is just by giving the balloon a hard hit on a tiny pouch, within the insides of the balloon. Just like that, the balloon will magically inflate!


Of course, there is a science behind it which you can find out more by getting in touch with the team behind Brrrloon , or you may just find out how it works by stalking their site. As I mentioned, you can customised your balloon by colouring it in any colour that you fancy which makes this the perfect activity for both children and adults too!


In addition to this, Brrrloon also specialises in balloon decorations, alongside with customised design printed balloons! In fact, any balloons you see in the pictures are actually specially made to order for this party. Making them the perfect balloon provider if you’re looking for one that does pretty decorations and is customisable to your specific theme.

50GRAM


50Gram started out as a flower delivery company where they have gained traction over the years for creating beautiful bouquets, which comes with a complementary video messages. As the years go by, 50Gram have expanded their service offerings to include various add-on bundles. And as part of the activity at The Butterfly Project Birthday Party Bash, we got the chance to adopt our very own unicorn in the form of a very adorable unicorn mug.

To formalise the whole adoption, we even filled up the adoption card where we got to name the unicorn too, along with the date of the adoption too for memories sake. :p In all honesty, the mug looks more suitable for decoration rather to be drank from. You can check out the other offerings available by 50Gram from their website, do find the details below.

Flowers Bar by Everyday Flowers


My favourite activity of the day would the flowers bouquet bar where you can choose from an assortment of flowers in vases to make into a simple bouquet. The bouquet is made by the team at Everyday Flower on the spot. How it works is that you basically choose three of your favourite flowers, placed them into the basket provided, write your name down and hand them over to the team!


The bouquet will be arranged and be ready within 5-10 minutes, depending on the queue. To be honest, this is the first time I have seen a flowers bouquet bar at a party as an activity for the guests. Similar to the photobooth activity, this is a very interactive, engaging and not to mention, unique experience. I’d never met a lady who doesn’t like flowers, so for me this is a really nice touch to the event especially when you can choose your own flowers.


I have always imagined how my dream wedding would be like and I may have just found the perfect booth activity for my future wedding guests. I believe this is a fairly new trend which I believe will catch on soon enough. So, if you have plans to include this in your event… I’d highly recommend that you do so as soon as possible! Everyday Flower’s details are as below;

Although we had two hours for the party, it felt like the time just flew by ever so quickly.  Four activity booths, coupled with food and plenty opportunities to take pictures contributed to that, definitely! Just because the party ended, but the fun continues on with the goodie bag we received from the party which is filled with products from various sponsors. The bag that we received is specially ordered and came in the unicorn design –so cute! Here’s a breakdown on what the bag contains.


Dear Beaute (Japan) Himawari Hair Care Samples which are available at selected Watsons and Sasa Malaysia stores nationwide. Their hair care products are oil based products which are catered for ladies with different hair woes. Their wide variety of range would help to address at least, if not all of your concerns for your hair.


Next, there is the  NYX Cosmetics Malaysia Vivid Brights & Lip of the Day, where the Vivid Brights product is actually an eyeliner of a bright purple shade. This shade would come in handy when you’re planning to attend another theme party. The Lip of the Day product on the other hand is actually a liquid liner with a metallic finish. What I loved about this product is the ability for it to be dual purpose, as it can also be worn as an eyeliner.


For me, I’d always felt that falsies have been able to complete the eyes make up. I have always been a fan of Koji Dolly Wink's false eyelashes because of how subtle the effect really is without being too over dramatic. The designs of the lashes were distributed randomly, but I quite like the design on mind. There is a total of two sets in the package, which came along with the adhesive glue as well.



There is no secret that my current favourite beauty product now is by belif. So you can imagine my joy when I realise that among the goodies is the belif Malaysia Best Sellers On-The-Go travel kit! This kit contains all of their best products but in travel size. This also allows you to try their products before committing to a full sized product. From experience, it’s important to use samples for a while before committing to a whole bottle.


Last but not least is actually Unicorn Necklace from Wanderlust Things which are available from www.wanderlustthings.com, a curated website which the trendiest products you can find in the world wide web. Trust me when I say that because whatever you can think of or can’t think of, you’ll find it there. So do yourself a favour and check the site out!








































Out & About : Newest Japanese Variety Shop in Mont Kiara, Meet Tokuya!


Malaysians are introduced to Japanese varieties store by the likes of Daiso first, when it was just RM5 before GST was implemented. Years later we have shops like Miniso and Yubiso as well, but with a slightly different business model. These shops sell a variety of different products at a reasonably attractive prices, as compared to Daiso where the prices are fixed. And now we have even more options with the addition of TOKUYA, another variety shop based in the neighborhood of Mont Kiara, in the new building of Plaza Arcoris. 



From my visit to TOKUYA recently during their grand opening, I found that the concept of TOKUYA differs from the usual. With the concept of being "purposely unique", it aims to carry and sell products which serves their purposes and yet, it's distinct, where it stands out from the usual. As I browsed through the aisle and the racks of products, I can't help but be amused at the myriad options of different products available for sale.


The products are of different categories of items such as household, kitchenware, beauty, organization, pets, stationery, cosmetics, hardware, cleaning, hygiene, gardening and many others. I found out that there are actually 20,000 products for sale in the shop, so I can be sure that you’ll be spoilt for choices! Trust me, I spent probably my first hour going round and round the aisles, trying to decide what to get. You can’t help but be spoilt for choices when you’re there.


As I was going around, I got an idea to share with you on my unique finds whilst I was there. That way you’re able to gauge what kind of items TOKUYA has to offer. I do need to mention that since most, if not all of their products are from Japan, the packaging has Japanese words all over it. That can be quite tricky, in my honest opinion as most of us don’t understand the language. But having said that, most of the items are self-explanatory and there are always pictures / illustrations to help you with it.

* * * * * * * * * *

So, without further ado, let me show you what are some of my top picks that I have found.












These are really just a handful of the products available, trust me it’s best for you to come and see it for yourself. TOKUYA is located on the lower ground floor, so you’ll need to head down from the escalator from the outdoor park to arrive at the store. There is a water feature fountain right in front of the store, so do look out for that. Once you see that, most likely you have arrive at the variety store wonderland of TOKUYA!

// LG1-06 & 07, Arcoris Plaza Mont’ Kiara, Jalan Kiara //
//03-6411 2082 //

Out & About : Celebrating 15 years of Manhattan FISH MARKET!


It’s no big secret that I’m a huge fan of seafood …. like I can be eating prawns for lunch and then crabs for dinner and that would be like my perfect meals in a day. My go-to option for seafood whenever I’m in a shopping mall would be none other than Manhattan FISH MARKET. My favourite dish would be their grilled and flaming seafood platter! Ohhh, the smell of the flamed prawns is oh-so-heavenly.

Out & About: Malaysia, Are you Ready for UberEAts?


With the launch of UberEATS in Malaysia, we are welcoming yet another food delivery company except that this one originates from the ride-hailing app, UBER. UberEATS, is a standalone app that is powered by the same pioneering technology that made ride-hailing a norm around the world.  Malaysians can now enjoy a myriad culinary experiences and greater dining choices at the comfort of wherever you’re located at, be it the home, office or even a friend’s house during a party!

For this initial release, there are only three areas which they deliver to — KL’s central business district, Damansara Heights, and Bangsar. Of course, we should expect the coverage to expand further in the coming days, so fret not if you’re not located within these region. I’ve had a browse on the restaurant partners of UberEATS and within seconds, I’m already salivating at the thought of having so much choices available. Can you believe that there are about 200 restaurants already on the platform, offering foods, beverages and desserts of different cuisine?


During the launch we were given a chance to sample the food from Stika Studio, a fine dining restaurant with the chef preparing the dishes right in front of us. There was also Inside Scoop ice cream for us to sample, along with the servings of Nasi Lemak Antarabangsa. It was definitely a fun night, filled with delicious meals as Malaysia have always been famous for - the variety of food choices available! And now, with UberEATS hopes to bring this food experience right to your doorstep, minus the hassle of queues and the jam!





If you’re wondering how long your order would take to arrive, it will be approximately 35 minutes from start to finish and the service will be available from 9am till midnight. Presently, there is only option to pay via credit or debit cards with the delivery charges at RM5 with no minimum order required. Additionally, UBER have also ensured that the delivery process satisfy the Halal requirements for both restaurants and consumers by working together with JAKIM.

Out & About: Launch of Jonlivia Lifestyle Club, SS2


Just the other day, a good friend of mine casually mentioned that being fit is the new trend. I wanted to object it but then I let the fact sinked in, to realise that it is true. So often I find my friends sharing pictures about their fitness workouts whilst scrolling through my social media feeds. Riding along this fitness bandwagon is a clothing brand that most Malaysian would have heard of before. Jonlivia, the brand name in active lifestyle wear had recently launched the 1st ever activewear Lifestyle Club on the 25th of May, 2017 at their premises in SS2, Petaling Jaya. The Jonlivia Lifestyle Club (JLC) aims to help Malaysians in general to discover a healthier, active lifestyle whilst staying trendy and stylish at the same time.
