 I love outdoor sports and I've always wanted to participate in marathon activities, charity run/walk events for ages... But due to my busy schedule, mommy duties, other commitments and priorities, many plans were put on hold and maybe a little procrastinated at times.lol But I am determined to fulfil one of my new year resolution and I signed up for the Prosperity Run 2024 in late February, held at the Singapore Sports Hub, National Stadium. I figure it's a great opportunity to challenge myself and to analyse my stamina & fitness. Quite frankly, I wasn't sure if I could compete the 5km run, but I still choose to go ahead and just have fun! 😊 Flag off At Arena Park. 3,2,1,Go! It was an early morning run, I reached the National Stadium about 7:20am. Feeling a little sleepy, but still very excited for the event. After some warm up, safety briefing and around 8am, Mr MP and the organisers flagged off to start the run! Thank goodness the weather was great, it was a breezy day, no rain and not too sunny. A perfect day for morning runs and outdoor activities.(*Check out my video below) Never Give Up, Never Back Down! 💪 Well, I'm not a professional athlete/runner and I rarely do long distance run, so 5km is somehow a big deal for me and quite a challenge, but since it's a fun run with no restrictions and no penalties. The participants can choose to jog or walk to complete the 5km run. With the lovely scenery and my favorite music to boost my morale, I keep going and every step is getting closer to the finishing point.:) There were moments I really wanted to quit and so tempted to turn back when my legs were so tired and aching, but I pushed myself to continue and managed to complete the run within the time limit and received the finisher medal. (Looks pretty cool, right?) A Day Well Spent! :) Finallyyy, resting my 'jelly' feet,lol chilling and enjoying great performances. It was a wholesome event filled with fun activities for family bonding during the festive time. There were stage performance, game booths, DIY fun crafts, lucky draw and I love watching lion & dragon dance. Staying Active and Healthy! ❤️ Personally, I believe in staying active at any age. It doesn't matter how old you are...Health is the greatest possession! A healthy and active lifestyle is more fulfilling and it helps to maintain good physical health, general well-being and improve the quality of life. I enjoyed such events very much! A Humble Achievement! ;) This finisher medal marks a special accomplishment for me and it reminds me that everything is possible! I still remember back in high school and being on the chubby side,lol..I couldn't complete my 2.4km run during P.E, but amazingly, I completed a 5km course. Gosh, it was so unbelievable! As a parent, I believe in leading by example, to encourage my kids to build a strong, positive mentality and high resilience to face any challenges in life and don't give up easily. Children tends to watch what their parents do, rather than what they say, so if Mommy can do it, you can too! I hope I inspire my kids with this cool medal.😎 Life isn't always about winning everything or how fast you go, it's about the determination, the perseverance and the commitments for every tasks in life and I'm the type who will do my best to complete where I started! It's a rewarding experience for me indeed. I met new friends at the event and I will definitely sign up more runs in the near future. (It's definitely a great work-out especially after all the Chinese new year feasting.😁) Even if you failed a task, it's not the end of the world. Keep trying and eventually you will be better and stronger in every aspects. Remember, the tortoise won the race in the end! As long as you do not quit and keep moving forward, you will get there and achieve your ultimate goals! 💯✌️ Remarks : The Prosperity Run 2024 is organised by Singapore Sports Hub to promote healthy living and active lifestyle! - My participation experience and thoughts for the event.

Having glowing skin and a smooth complexion makes a woman feel beautiful, attractive and that's a huge confidence boost for all the ladies! "So What's My Beauty Secrets?" Besides my daily skincare routines, balanced diets, getting enough sleep and staying hydrated. I take health tonic regularly and I prefer natural beauty supplements to boost holistic health and well-being. Collagen is the main structural protein that is beneficial for skin, hair, nails and joints. It improves skin elasticity, volume and moisture to maintain beautiful, youthful skin. As we age, the production of the biological cells and body matrix slow down and decreases. Collagen supplements can help to restore proteins, minerals and the nutrition that our body needs. I recently tried The Purest Co. Collagen Glow Berries and I have been taking it once a day, before bedtime for about 2 weeks. I noticed my complexion is brighter and the skin tone is more even. My skin texture feels smoother, firmer and moisturized. Since taking the supplements, I sleep well and I feel refreshed & energetic throughout the day. Nice..I like the taste! :) It's light tasting, mild sweetness with a rich essence of mixed berries flavor, it's not too strong and easy on the taste bud, I like it! - The box contains 30 Sachets.(*For 1 Month Supply) - Best to consume before breakfast or bedtime. - Ready to drink.
