Well, I've got a great tip for you - always have an adventure bag handy! Inside this bag, make sure to pack essentials such as a towel, soap, shampoo, and sunblock. 🧴And don't forget to throw in some snacks and drinks to keep you fueled throughout the day. 🧃 Additionally, remember to bring along a picnic mat and some sand toys for added fun. 😁☀️🌊🏖️🩳🩱

This mat is truly handy. I purchased it during our last trip to Krabi, Thailand, and after three years, it still looks sturdy without any tears, despite excessive use. 🧺

Yesterday was a sunny day, perfect for a beach day with the family. We headed out after our late lunch. We took the MRT, specifically the Thomson East Coast line, and alighted at Outram MRT station. From Outram, we transferred to the Harbourfront MRT station. Finally, we took the monorail and headed to the beach station. The Sentosa monorail is not free; you need to tap your EZ-Link card, and the fare is $4.

The beach was packed with tourists on a Sunday afternoon, but I didn't mind because I could smell the beach and the sound of the waves was music to my ears. We had a picnic there and brought some snacks with us. My daughter wasted no time and dove right into the water. Meanwhile, my husband couldn't resist and bought more snacks from the numerous food trucks available in Sentosa now. 🚚

The Tom Yum squid that my husband bought for me was delicious.

Around 7 pm, the coast guard announced that we needed to get out of the water. As you can see, my daughter was not impressed hahaha.

After that, we headed to our favorite restaurant, Coastes, at Sentosa. I noticed that the service had changed; they were friendlier now than before. lol We ordered carbonara for my daughter, shrimp pasta for me, fish and chips for my husband, and calamari as a side dish. 🦑

And that's all for a day in Sentosa. I can call it a visually refreshing nature day off lol 🏖️🌊☀️

July 26, 2015. Woke up at 11 am (McDonald's breakfast is until 11 am only lol) and craved for some pancakes!!! :D And yes my loving Husband to the rescue!

   tl;dr - you can buy the Neutrogena TGel Shampoo from either of the following sites Hotally SG - Neutrogena TGel 250ml @ $22.90 and Lazada SG - Neutrogena TGel 250ml @ $26.90

   The shampoo is sold and fulfilled by Hotally on both sites and it is actually much cheaper if you buy directly from Hotally. Both sites accept credit cards and PayPal as forms of payment. Lazada additionally accepts COD for this item.

   I was using the Neutrogena TGel shampoo before, but when I got here in Singapore I couldn't find it in any shops. This led me to use the Polytar shampoo which was available from Guardian at that time. The Polytar shampoo was also very effective for me. Unfortunately, Guardian has stopped carrying the Polytar shampoo in their inventory.

   I was again on the look out for other alternatives. I tried using the Ionil-T shampoo but I had an allergic reaction the first time I used it :( That's when I tried searching again for the Neutrogena TGel shampoo and happily found it online :)

   I ordered from Lazada SG last Sunday (09Nov @ 6pm) and I will update again once I received the item. I'm just excited to share where to buy this shampoo :) If you have eczema and sensitive scalp, you can try using this shampoo :)

   Thanks HotallySG for bringing the shampoo to SG :)

   Update: I just received the shampoo today 12Nov @ 8pm :)
