Today, me and my dear friends decided to celebrate IWD (international womens day) at Gurney Paragorn, Penang.
It really a womens day for us because we chit chat leisurely about our passions and parenting issue. And its just 2 of us. no husband nor kids around. hehehehe. i really need this "me time". just a little break to reflect ourselves as women .........
as muslimah
as daughter
as sister
as wife
as mother
and maybe in next couple of decades, we will reflect ourselves as grandmother too. hahaha
it was a great outing. Furthermore MMPS (mother to mother support) are organizing it and manage to focus on breastfeeding topic as part of the IWD celebration. something out of cliche as other people will think IWD is only day to celebrate feminism issue. well, breastfeeding some is part of the feminism issue but not many people manage to recognize, identify and support. kudos to MMPS.
Manage to grab some breastfeeding information. grab some booklet in mandarin version. would be usefull for mothers that i help in chinese confinement centre.
Last but not least, someTHING to pamper myself. handmade from natural ingredients "shea butter lip balm" and de-stress balm (contain nutmeg, lavender and other essential oil that i couldnt remember....hehehehe). The great thing about this balm is it use beeswax as base instead of other common balm which use petrolatum as base. i dont like that because its not natural an have bad smell and texture.
as art lover, im so enthuastic to share this breastfeeding art that i manage to capture during the event. lets make breastfeeding normalise again. we can do it mama!
HAPPY WOMENS DAY!
