THE MOP TO END ALL MOPS
HEALTHY SALAD EATING BY YES SUPERMARKET
We haven’t invented self-cleaning floor tiles yet
unfortunately, which means we still have to use our
trusty old mop, one which has
been relatively unchanged
since it first came out in 1496!
As anyone who has mopped
floors before can attest to,
the hassle of wringing the wet
yarn attached to the end of the
mop handle and the inability
of the mop to reach inside
small crevices, such as under a couch, makes mopping a
tiresome activity.
We all know how important the colour greens are to our diet but let’s face it, we don’t want to eat like
rabbits our whole lives. However, there are a variety of ways that you can spruce up a bland salad; all
you need is a little creativity and some help from the other healthy food groups! But, how do salads
benefit your health?
1. Eating a high-fibre diet can help lower cholesterol levels and prevent constipation
2. Fruits and vegetables provide a host of powerful antioxidants that protect the body from damage
3. Studies have shown that eating a low-calorie appetiser before your main meal enhances satiety
and reduces the total number of calories you consume during the meal
4. Eating a little good fat (found in olive oil, avocado and nuts) with your vegetables helps your body
to absorb phytochemicals, the good stuff found in fruits and vegetables
Well, Leifheit International wants to turn mopping into a
hassle-free, enjoyable activity with the Profi Mop Press
Set. Finally coming to Singapore, this mop set emerged
triumphant in a German floor-wiping systems test in
2009, a testament to its mopping capabilities.
The microfiber solid cloth enhances cleaning and
saves on detergent at the same time while its bucket
compatriot has an easy foot release mechanism and
integrated rollers that lets you wring the mop without
bending down or using strength.
It’s the perfect cleaning companion for any smart
household, that’s for sure!
The Profi Mop Press Set is distributed by Modern Link Pte
Ltd. To discover the range of stockists, we recommend

NATURAL CARE FOR YOUR BABY’S SKIN
Your baby’s skin is extremely delicate and highly
susceptible to the effects of the chemical ingredients
found in numerous off-the-shelf skincare products.
Furthermore, the long-term impact of chemicals on
your baby’s skin is still not yet fully known. However,
fortunately for you and your baby, there are a plethora
of organic skincare products in the market that are
formulated specially for your bundles of joy, and one of
our favourites – Sophie La Girafe Baby – has finally made
its way to our shores!
This long-standing Finnish brand, famous for its baby
toys, has extended its product range and brewed a
series of certified natural and organic cosmetics using
only the best ingredients from Mother Nature. That
means there are no nasty chemical villains such as
chlorine, paraben, triclosan, sodium laureth sulfate and
more. In fact, it’s so effective for baby’s skin that adults
with sensitive skin and eczema problems have also
begun using Sophie La Girafe Baby!
So, if you’re looking to replenish your toiletries supply,
why not give Sophie La Girafe Baby a spin? Your baby’s
skin will thank you for it.
