Ah, Life.
Just when I thought things were settling down after my mother’s passing, our maid tried to run away a few days ago. After sending her back to the agency, and without a viable replacement in sight for at least 3 months, my husband and I have been neck deep with house chores and managing the kids. The initial 2 days were madness but we’re getting used to all the juggling now. 
So I think up till early next year it doesn’t look like I’ll be able to run any bazaar stalls for Kinder Soaps. I’ll miss meeting you all in person. But I’ll still be taking orders over the phone and through this website, so don’t worry if you need to restock your soap supplies, or even make that Christmas hamper you’ve been thinking about.
Another reason why I have to slow down a little is because I’m expecting baby number 3. :”> I’m about 9 weeks along now so managing energy levels is a tricky business at the moment. And it’s also interesting (and amusing) how some essential oils that I used to like now make me feel like throwing up.
Ah, Life. 
You take care now, and have a wonderful week ahead.
Just a quick announcement that Kinder Soaps will be setting up shop at the Square Market, Bangsar Village II 3rd Floor this Saturday and Sunday. In addition to my regular goodies, look out for special clearance prices on my gourmet soap!
I have decided not to set up booth at this weekend’s bazaar at Bangsar Village II. We have a family crisis—my mother is critically ill and is being rushed home tonight from Singapore after undergoing surgery there. Her cancer seems to have caused more complications and doctors have indicated that there’s not much else they can do to help.
So I’d like to have this time to spend with her and my family instead.
I’m sorry if this causes anyone any inconvenience. The online store is always open so please feel free to browse here. Do take care, everyone, and have a good weekend.
First up, a huge thank-you is in order for Janet Lee who was the key person responsible for making the No Plastic Bag Bazaar such a success. You da woman! 
Your awesome organizing skills, pulling all parties together to work towards the goal of raising funds for the Furry Friends Farm and Malaysian Nature Society was clearly visible. And you still had time to sing for us, AND get some shopping done!
For a quick overview of what the bazaar was all about, check out the Star news article here.
Just to be sure I get to the right place too! Notoriously bad at directions, I am. Now I know it’s a bit daunting to be around the Bukit Bintang area on a public holiday… But as an alternative way to spend the day with friends and family, it probably doesn’t get more entertaining on a small-scale, personal level as this. Hope to see you there!
Have you ever heard of the No Plastic Bag Bazaar? If you like the idea of environmentally-friendly shopping, then head over to Noble Banquet along Jalan Bukit Bintang this 31st August for a first-hand experience.
There’ll be plenty of pre-loved fashion items for sale and celebrities have even put up some of their own pieces for auction. Plus you can adopt a pet right there at the event! Now how’s that for a fun family day out?
I’ll also be selling my soap there, along with my soon-to-be-made whipped cocoa body butters. Will be showcasing my home-made soap batches which are quite different from what I currently offer, as I’m including organic vegetable and nut oils as part of my ingredients.
Sharing the table with me will be Andrew Kit of Ndevo. I *promise* I’ll get a photo of this handsome young chap, whose keen eye for beauty and detail has won his gift shop a loyal following. Latest by Tuesday next week, okay? 
Oooh, I can’t wait! Especially since I’ll get to meet with some old friends whom I haven’t had the chance to catch up with ever since my kids came along. It’s gonna be one fun afternoon! Please do drop by and support this event, would love to see you there.
It was yet another fun (albeit tiring towards the end because I was soooo hyper in the beginning) outing for Kinder Soaps at Jaya 33. Not only was I blessed with surpassing my initial sales target, I even completed a labour of love that has taken me about half a year to finally bring to fruition. I know this will sound boastful, but it really IS visually stunning.

Hello everyone!
I’ll be setting up shop at Jaya 33’s weekend bazaars twice in July:
July 9th - 12th
July 23rd - 26th
Lots of friends have been asking when we’ll next be setting up stall. June has been a busy month for me with the family—attending a personal development seminar, spending a weekend in Bali, and tackling my kids’ bout of food poisoning this weekend (they’re already on the mend, thank goodness). So yes, it’s about time I get back into meeting all you lovely people in person and see how I can help your bath times be kinder to your skin.
If you’d like to pre-order any soap, have a gift pack specially made, or would just like to have a chat, e-mail me at michelle(at)kindersoaps.com. Assuming my internet connection is stable, I won’t take longer than 3 business days to reply, I promise!
Take care now.
Soap + Water + Toddlers = MAYHEM!
I’ll be setting up a little table at Educare Section 16 (where my son absolutely enjoys learning!) on May 31st to support the playschool’s “Earth Day Carnival”. It’s an even organised for the public, so EVERYONE is most welcome to join in the fun activities! Among other things, there will be carnival games, face painting, henna art, a recycling project, some earth-themed F&B and plenty of squirmy children going nuts over the hubbub!
On my part, I’ll be bringing a limited array of soap to be sold. More importantly though, is that I have to dream up of some hands-on activities for the kids and adults to do with my soap to inject a bit of a fun element to my stall. Hmm… any suggestions, apart from using cookie-cutters to stamp out soap shapes?
Please do come and support this event. If you have children, bring them along - I can testify that the teachers at Educare truly care about their wellbeings and love all their charges to bits. Oh, and if you have plenty of old newspaper and other recyclable items that need to be cleared from your home, drive them over to the Carnival too. Remember to provide your own shopping bags and food containers, or you can purchase “Green Earth” bags at the Carnival and funds collected from these sales will be channeled to WWF and UNICEF.
