“OH WOW, YOU DON’T LOOK LIKE A MOTHER AT ALL!”
Honestly, being a mother in this day and age is hard work. Juggling your career goals with your
responsibilities as a mother can take their toll on your health and physical appearance, and you
have always wondered how some moms manage to do it all while still looking radiant at the
same time.
Natural skincare brand Trilogy has the answer for you – simple products that are fuss-free and
easy to put on. And the purveyor of organic skincare has a new treatment lotion that we are
certain will make a valuable addition to your cosmetic shelf. The Trilogy Age Proof Botanical
Lightening Treatment helps to reduce and prevent the appearances of blemish marks and
age and dark spots by bringing together cutting-edge natural
actives such as botanical complex GIGAWHITE, licorice,
mulberry and vitamin C.
According to the folks at Trilogy, this new
treatment lotion is designed to target areas
of pigmentation while also treating sun
spots, which is one of the most telling signs
of damaged, ageing skin. And in sunny
Singapore, we need all the help we can
get when it comes to fighting sun damage.
Furthermore, the Trilogy Age Proof
Botanical Lightening Treatment is made
from only the finest, natural ingredients, so it
is suitable for all skin types.
The 50ml Trilogy Age Proof Botanical Lightening
Treatment bottle is retailing at S$68 and is
available at all Beauty By Nature outlets, Robinsons
and John Little stores.

REDEFINING GIRLY
Mother of two Melissa Wardy was becoming
exasperated at the increasing sexualisation of young
girls in the media, so much so that she decided to take
a stand, channelling her frustration into activism. She
created a website to sell T-shirts with girl-positive
messages, started blogging, began writing letters to
corporate offenders, and worked with parents through
workshops and social media.
Now, Wardy has distilled her experience and lessons
into a how-to guide titled Redefining Girly: How Parents
Can Fight the Stereotyping and Sexualizing of Girlhood,
from Birth to Tween for parents, family members
and teachers who are concerned about how to raise a
confident and empowered girl in today’s increasingly
hypersexual culture.
The new book offers tips, tools and facts that any
concerned parent will need to successfully guide a
girl through girlhood, and presents realistic guidance
to effect positive change and help parents raise a
confident and empowered girl who will grow up valuing
herself as a human being. We cannot recommend this
tome highly enough!
Rede fining Girly is available on online retailers Amazon
and BookDepository.com. For more information on the
book and the author, head on over to redefininggirly.
