I started doing nagomi art in July 2021 when a friend introduced to me one day.
I started reading on nagomi and how it helps for our mental wellness and self care.
Being in a stressful environment, i reckon it is very important for self care, self love, and found that art therapy is really soothing to the mind, heart and soul.

PNA was founded by Mr Hosoya Norikatsu in 2002. He chose pastel as the medium to create beautiful, warm and gentle-toned artwork through simple but unique techniques.
It is accessible to anyone from the very young to young at heart. It is intended as an art form for ordinary people, where beautiful pieces can be created within 20mins at ease.
One need not be a skilled artist to enjoy the mange benefits it brings. These include self-fulfilment, self-satisfaction, self-affirmation, self-love, an uplifted sense of pride and confidence along with sheer joy.
The process of painting will calm one’s feelings and awaken hope in the hearts. One’s joy is multiples when the art form is shared with others.

生命的源头
This is the blastocyst implantation of my 1st IVF. While thinking of the theme new creation. new life, I thought of this almost immediately as a cell is a possibility of a new life that can be growing inside of me. This image is drawn from a day 5 blastocyst.
I may forget how the IVF journey after many years, this blastocyst may not continue to grow in me, but this moment, it remains as a memory I cherish.
Whilst looking at my blastocyst to draw, I saw a little child in it.
Nostalgic childhood
In my growing up days, mum was quite strict with me with what I could eat or drink. Paddle pop ice cream is one of the few ice cream I remembered eating.
With the colours in paddle pop, it also helps brighten the mood whenever I’m down.

One of the first Japanese song I’ve learnt back in my secondary days when a friend sang this song to me, I translated it as I did not understand Japanese. I loved the lyrics and it was one of my favourite song.
We are all special and unique in our own way, just like no flower is the same as another. We humans blossomed and bloomed in our own unique way.

Recommendation #6 - Batik Painting kit
Had the opportunity to try Batik Painting and it was sooooo fun!
Those who are interested but yet dunno how to start, this hoop kit comes with everything you need as a starter.
What’s in this kit:
-1 X 10” X 10” pre painted wax motif canvas on bamboo hoop
- 6 X 2.5ml Batik colour dye
-1 X nylon hair brush
- 1 X colour palette
Have some imagination on the batik you’re gonna paint and have fun doing the layering! Here’s what I did with mine!!!
Time spent to paint them ⏰:
Batik painting gets easier with experience, but each art piece is different. A good time to set aside for your own wellness is prob 1-1.5 hrs? Take a break and do some down regulation work (like painting this!)
This piece was done with an intention of down regulation after an intensive upbeat activity and it gave me a good 1.5hr of wellness
Batik Painting Hoop kitRecommendation #5- Maymom flange
Wanna introduce you guys the maymom flange.
What I like about this is that it is possible to buy the flange to the correct size eg. 13mm/14mm/15mm
The normal flange that all pumps comes with is either 21mm/24mm/27mm which is too big for Asian women. Well, at least for me I’m only a 15mm.
It took me a few months pp to try and figure out all these. As ftm, I was noob in this field as I’ve never been exposed to all these before. I thought I was 24mm, until I was hospitalised and govt hospital gave me a 27mm and said that was my size. So I thought “ohhh! 24mm is wrong. Im a 27mm”. Purchased a set of 27mm from mummy market, only to realised that I had nipple tear from the 27mm.
Only after the 3rd month pp that I seek a professional help from a LC, then I realised I’m a 15-16mm. But at that point? I had already purchased 5 diff pumps.
So what did I do initially. I put a 15mm insert into one of the maymom flange I previously gotten.. but I recently got to find out that they do have actual sizes!!! Check out my video to see the difference!!! I really love it cos with the actual size flange, I really maximise all the liquid gold for my baby!!
If you’re a low supply mum like me, this is what you really will need.

The chair is made of quality solid wood and coated with non-toxic paint.
It’s easy to even get baby A to sit on it a few times to adjust the height.. that’s how sturdy it is.
In my video I installed the seats wrongly, but very easily rectified
Overall, this chair is sturdy and super affordable (especially when there’s vouchers and Shopee coins) 😉

Rice berry has the benefits:
