Carrier Review: Baby SaBye Mei Tai

Image
By




Type of Carrier: Baby SaBye Mei Tai

Carrier details: Mei Tai  - reversible blue and red; standard size; handwoven 100% natural cotton; vegetable dye

The back is 14.5 inches (at waist) and 16 inches (at shoulder) wide; 17 inches tall without waist strap.
Each shoulder strap is 9.5 to 10.5 inches wide, and 87 inches long.
Waist strap is 3 inches wide and 69 inches long.

Wrappee:  BabyG (boy)– 10 months – 10kgs/22 lbs

Wrapper:  small – chubby build –US size 10


First glance – Baby Sabye Mei Tai looked thick and a bit rough. This is my first time to try a mei tai and I had some reservations with the straps, the size where Baby G will “sit on”  and if it can withstand Baby G’s weight on the get-go. When I tried tying the waist belt, it was crunchy and I made an effort to tighten the knot to secure it. The straps were thinner than the waist belt which was floppy and flexible. When I wore Baby G, it was an instant hit with us!






This Mei Tai has been with us for about 3 weeks because we had other testers that I had to juggle with and break in. I must say this is my favorite tester carrier so far.

Design – The colors are gender neutral and you can also explore their different colors from Baby SaBye via Etsy. It is ergonomic for Mommy and Baby to be really comfy to wear. It is an organic carrier that is made out of natural 100% cotton and vegetable dyes – environment-friendly.


I also got to have fun and experiment with different finishes.




Instant stow-away: just roll it and tie it up  (and a fancy "heart" finish here as well! check: top photo)

Weather/season – I find the main body to be a little thick but not as enveloped as when wearing a woven wrap. This can be a little warm for humid and tropical seasons especially for a little bit of a stroll outdoors. We were able to stroll around the mall just fine.










Type/s of carry – Front and back carries were done; I would like to rave how I don’t feel a thing with my shoulders. That I got to wore him at home and at different places without feeling diggy at the shoulders. 

Prolonged front carries (more than 1 hour) caused some lower back ache for me probably needed more adjusting for my part. I wore Baby G (front carry) at the mall for about 2 hours and I was able to help my niece shop around for her Christmas party outfit. Then, Baby G was knocked out later that night just right before we left the mall. 

The best carry I experienced was the back carry and I was able to sweep the floor, cook meals and do other chores – perfectly supportive hands-free. 

 Unfortunately, I don't have a photo for back carry but check out my video:



Different finishes for Mei Tai featuring Baby SaBye 


Mummy budget – It is just right below the Soft Structured Carriers (SSC) price tag.

Sunny summary –  Where else can you find an Earth-friendly, reversible, supportive carrier that provides lots of tender loving bonding and a sound sleep for your lil bub? Too bad it’s only until 15 kilos for weight limit. I give it 4.8 sprinkles of sleepy dust!

GRAND OPENING PROMO on Mary Pauline Main Square Mall

By
How long since you visited your “mother ship”, Momma?  We all know that nice hair, nice nails definitely need maintenance. It’s high time to pamper yourself after maintaining EVERYTHING. I’m just pretty excited to let you know that there’s a new, hot salon right now!
My good friend and mom-preneur, Mia, just recently opened her Mary Pauline Salon – Main Square Mall in Bacoor, Cavite. Who knew that her hobbies and interests in beauty and make-up turned into her business someday? Don’t get me started on how we got to where we are now since we have a history of taking Biology in college. Funny how life turned out for us!
Mary Pauline MSM is a full service salon from nails to hair; they even have Gluta IV drip which I’d love to try soon. They also have Eyebrow embroidery coz, of course, Kilay is LIfe. They had their Grand Opening on October 28, 2017 with smashing discounts. They had a ribbon cutting and catering for this special occasion.



I can’t help but feel the need to share THEIR FABULO…

Benefit and Mommievents has teamed up to set up The Ultimate Guide to Being a Benefit Babe workshop which showcased how to do brows and make up just like a Certified Benebabe. This took place in the charming Benefit boutique at Alabang Town Center on April 29, 2017.

Participants witnessed make up techniques and tips from the workshop instructor: Jedd Entilla, Benefit Makeup & Brow Expert. Since it's a Benefit workshop, the participants got their hands on Benefit products which was everyone's favorite part.




There were snacks and refreshments. There were loot bags that have Benefit giveaways.



The workshop started with introductions by Desha Buen, Benefit Assistant Expert and Camille Manalo from Mommievents. The participants were grouped together to gear up for the workshop's agenda.

A Chat with a Top Model: Chesca Lagua

By
Benefit and Mommievents recently paired up and created a workshop called The Ultimate Guide to Being a Benefit Babe at the dainty Benefit store in Alabang Town Center. Franchesca Lagua is one of the event ambassadors alongside DJ Sexy Megan from Yes FM. Chesca graced us with her top model presence and with an extra helping of sky high legs and ultra lean figure from Shanna Retuya (ramp/commercial/Philippine Fashion week model). 


Although the pair towered all of us, they were the most down-to-earth darlings. They were up for selfies and quick chats with participants. I took the opportunity to take a selfie with Chesca which would seemingly look like Lady Galadriel and a hobbit would photograph together. She hunched halfway as I tiptoed, tilted and angled my phone so both of us can fit into the frame.


Before I transform this feature into some LOTR geekery, here's the score on Chesca's make-up go-to and the real deal on Asia's Next Top Model:
