How to throw a tea party at home with Simply Blooms’ Flower Gift Set

Advertorial

"Mothers are like buttons, they hold everything together." 

I adore this quote - find it especially true and endearing. 

Mothers' Day is fast approaching. Have you given a thought about how to celebrate this special day with the special woman in your life?

For the woman who held everything together in my family, I decided to skip the crowds (which Mom hates!) and hold a tea party at the comfort of my home for her! 

How to Throw a Tea party with Simply Blooms’ Flower Gift Set

To hold an awesome girly tea party, the essential items to prepare are:

1. Tea - better if it's floral tea
2. Cookies, pastries, etc.
3. Flowers for ambience and as a gift for dear Mama! (who doesn't love flowers?)
4. Optional : pretty tea cups, crockery and cutlery.

To save the hassle and resources of preparing these individual items, Simply Blooms made it simple for us! I was simply elated when I received the Floral Breakfast flower gift package. It consists of almost everything we need for our tea party.

What's in this gift set:

- Juan Tea Relaxing Blue Tea

- Old Seng Choong Putu Mayam Cookie

- Simply Blooms Hand Bouquet

First, you have to lay the table with some pretty place mats. Next, brew hot water to make some tea with Juan Tea Relaxing Blue Tea which is an aromatic blend of French Rose and Lemongrass to help Mom & you to relax and destress from the normal hectic Singapore life. Then, place out those fragrant, tantalising Old Seng Choong Putu Mayam Cookies and serve them in a nice plate. Simply Blooms Hand Bouquet should be positioned strategically on the dining table as a form of decoration and at the end of the tea session, present the bouquet as part of your Mothers' Day gift to your Mommy Dearest!

Creating Flatlay photos for your Instagram : Tips and Tricks

If you have been following me on Instagram and Facebook, you'd have noticed my recent flatlay pics seem to have been revolving around marble theme. Guess what? It was totally on purpose.

After my home renovations last year, I was constantly on the lookout for pretty home decoration to beautify my home. My preferred picks are always along the colour themes of either feminine pinks or minimalist whites.

When I saw marble trays at the mall, I was immediately allured to them! I mean, who wouldn't? However, marble slabs are pretty heavy weighing a few hefty kilos and it was pretty inconvenient for me to lug them back home by myself, so I kept putting off the idea of marble-shopping.

Then I turned to online shopping... it was a total game-changer due to its delivery option!

Was comparing between some available options and honestly, there weren't too many in Singapore yet. And I was pretty picky about my marble decor. The ones I saw instore at the local mall were a little too greyish.

So when I saw the range of clean, white and beautiful marble range from Beyond Basic on their website, I was ecstatic!
