Reconnect over a cup of tea this Teh Tarik Day with Lipton!

Lipton encourages Malaysians to create quality connections with their loved

Teh Tarik has always been a staple in Malaysian culture, be it a family gathering around the table, friends catching up on lost time during a mamak session, or simply just someone new you’ve met - every connection grows stronger over a cup of Teh Tarik. However, extended lockdowns throughout the country have put a pause to the regular teh tarik sessions, separating us from not just the cup of smooth milky tea, but with the loved ones we enjoy it with as well. Under the campaign umbrella of ‘Sekuat Rasa Teh, Seerat Ikatan Kasih’, Lipton is calling all Malaysians to celebrate Teh Tarik Day by restoring the quality connections this coming 15th September onwards. Despite the distance, Lipton wants to encourage Malaysians to reconnect again with a unique message straight from your heart on www.liptontehtarikday.com.

Inspired by the way Malaysians from all walks of life are united with their love for Teh Tarik, the world’s leading tea brand has celebrated Teh Tarik Day every year since 2017, with the brand’s focus on enabling quality connections, over a strong cup of tea. As the campaign title depicts, “Sekuat rasa teh, seerat ikatan kasih”, Lipton recognizes that now more than ever, the need to rekindle lost connections and reignite lukewarm relationships. This Teh Tarik Day, Lipton is introducing a platform that enables Malaysians to express themselves to their friends and family in a unique way - all you have to do is to say what you feel and Lipton will personalize it, animate it and make it that much more special, leaving the receiver feeling a deeper connection.

“The pandemic has definitely affected the quantity and quality of time spent together with the precious people in our lives. While we are all doing our part by social distancing for a greater cause, we at Lipton also believe that it’s important to carve out at least 15 minutes to connect and build quality relationships with your loved ones, even if it’s done virtually. We sometimes need more than just words to express ourselves fully, and Malaysians are very well-known to express feelings through actions rather than with spoken words. With this in mind, Lipton has created this campaign not only to encourage action in personalizing a special message for your precious people, but to also redeem a gift for you and your loved one to share more quality moments together.” says Callista Fernandez, SEA Marketing Lead for Tea in ekaterra (a division of Unilever)

Teh Tarik Day would be incomplete without a cup of tea, and Lipton delivers it and more with their Lipton Teh Tarik Day gift sets. Selected pairs of Malaysians who connected through www.liptontehtarikday.com will be surprised with 2 gift sets -one for the sender and one for the recipient of the personalized message to encourage the continuation of quality connections together! The gift set is designed in collaboration with Stickerrific, who weaved little Lipton tea bags and tea leaves into the batik print illustration at the sides of the box. It is paired with a limited edition Lipton mug complete with a variety of Lipton tea, including our very own 3 in 1 Teh Tarik Milk Tea Latte, delivering creamy indulgence in every sip

Uniqlo's Outerwear & Fllece with Uniqlo X White Mountaineering

Global apparel retailer UNIQLO just recently announced the launch of "UNIQLO and White Mountaineering," as the first collaboration with the global Japanese brand White Mountaineering. Outerwear and fleece have long been representative product categories for UNIQLO making it perfect for Malaysian's who are mountaineering enthusiasts looking for the perfect attire to enjoy the outdoors. This distinctive collection featuring the outdoor essence characteristic of White Mountaineering is presented as a new adaptation of LifeWear, with further advancements in functionality and design. Items will be available in Malaysia from Friday, October 15.

"I gave a lot of thought to my ideals as a designer and how to utilize the detailing for outdoor items and sportswear I'd developed at White Mountaineering for UNIQLO wear, which is worn by all sorts of people," says designer Yosuke Aizawa. "Designing clothing around the premise that 'people move' is one of my principles, so I carefully considered patterns and designs that wouldn't add stress when worn. I believe we've created a line of new everyday wear that can be worn in any setting."

Clothing as a common language for everyone

This new collaboration firmly merges the theme of family, embraced by White Mountaineering's designer Yosuke Aizawa, with the UNIQLO concept of LifeWear that is made for all. The nine items for men, women, and kids have been created to be a common language for everyone. Building on designs that the entire family can wear, the collection uses silhouettes and colors to suit any setting, making the most of the strengths of both brands. I would have to say that Uniqlo has done it again when it comes to keeping their designs minimal and versatile. This gives everyone the freedom to be creative with their existing outfits and I admire that so much from the collection. 

About The Items

The UNIQLO Hybrid Down, a new generation outerwear featuring a combination of down and cotton padding, is available for both men and women. The men's Parka features a double zip on the front which is an icon of White Mountaineering, while the women's style has a more relaxed silhouette, incorporating a distinctive back design suggestive of a cape. The Fleece Jacket, created by layering two types of fleece fabric, is finished in a military style to match urban fashion and appeals to both men and women. Kids items, which is a first for Aizawa, utilize the same basic designs as for adults, while including details that younger wearers will love, such as a structure at the neck that makes the coats easier to put on and take off, presented in playful blue and red colors.

Baby Bottle Labels | Baby Koala Land

Being a breastfeeding mum, i can totally relate to the sleepless nights, the late night pumpings, the commitment to your little one to make sure that they get the benefits of breastmilk. Since my first baby, i was told that breastmilk is best, but the 2 years commitment is a long period of time to think about. Nevertheless, being a mom, we always tend to want the best for our kids, so we'd do anything to ensure that they get the best of what we can give. Well, in today's post, i'll be sharing a review on baby bottle labels by Baby Koala. 

Dont take these labels for granted as i believe that especially when they're reusable, there is always a need to make your life as a breastfeeding mum easier. The reason why i got this is because, one, im occasionally pumping for my baby when i need to get some house chores and work done, (which my husband would take over during feeding time), and two, to basically remind yourself on the freshness of the milk. i know some of us use breastfeeding storage bags to store milk, but i personally like to use this to keep as a reminder on when it was pumped to monitor the condition

Introducing to you the Baby Koala Baby Bottle Labels! Other that being really colourful, it has been designed to be strechable, washable, rewritable, and not to forget that it's also environmentally friendly. I find these labels a great hand in doing their part to may any mummy's life easier. Each pact contains 4 Bottle Labels and 1 Marker Pen. It's uniquely designed for milk storage bottles and reusable labels for daily use, which also means, you can use this for your kitchen needs as well! 

Generally i would say that these labels would come in handy to help parents and childcare providers easily identify the milk bottles and also act as a reminder on how much to feed your child at a time. With the marker provided, you can just write any details you wish on the label, from the name of your child, to what time to feed your baby. With this label, you can say bye bye to adhesive labels and save the environment by using these bottle labels that would definitely last a long time, as when your baby outgrows it, you can still use it in the kitchen as well. 

Now, in case youre wondering on how to reuse this, even if the marker provided ran out of ink, you can use any marker pen and easily erase it with water. I have no clue how this silicon material works, but it works! The silicon labels are very stretchy and flexible, making them universal and easy to snug around any type of milk bottles. In terms of safety, the material is made out of high-quality food-grade silicone that is BPA, BPS, PVC and phthalate free. What's there not to love?

Personally, i would like to share with you how i use it. Usually, when my supply is low, i'll have a hard time feeding my baby, so i'll opt to get my stored milk (in a bottle) from the freezer and use it to fill my little one's tummy so that he can nap. They say that when your baby's tummy is full, thats when they usually sleep. So keeping milk and supplying milk is crucial. You'll never know when you'll need it on a rainy day. And with these labels, it's pretty easy to set a reminder on when it was defrosted, so that each time i use stored milk, there's a reminder to keep me up to date. 

All in all, i would say that it's a great addition to add to your parenting lifestyle as it not only organizes a mummy's schedule but its also reusable since it has been designed to be durable and long lasting. Nevertheless, my favorite time of using this would be when i drop my little one off at daycare when i need to run errands. These labels make it a great reminder for the carer's to be aware of when is feeding time. It comes in a pack of 4 and each pack retails at RM49.90, making each costing roughly RM12.50. Pretty affordable if you ask me, especially when its going to last you a really long time. Well, thats all for my review and sharing today, and if you'd like to check it out yourself, feel free to checkout the official sites below.
