The Parenthood Family Park - Play, Learn, Shop, Relax, Dine

1st London Street Family Park in Malaysia

On the 5th of December 2015, 'The Parenthood' will be opening it's doors to the public. The Parenthood is Malaysia's 1st London Street Family Park. Me and my little family were invited to experience The Parenthood before they officially open their doors to the public.

Located on the 2nd Floor of Sunway Putra Mall is a place for modern day parents & kids to hangout

Do you remember 'The Mall' opposite Putra World Trade Centre, PWTC? Well is now Sunway Putra Mall. The Parenthood is located on the 2nd floor of this upgraded mall. The Parenthood is very suitable for young families with kids between 0-12 but actually pre-teens may find stuff to do as well.

You will find many places to stop and snap pics of your munchkins

The Parenthood is designed with a London theme and would definitely make for a nice place to take pictures of your kids.  It is very nicely spaced out with shops nestled along yellow marked 'tar' roads against the backdrop of an English castle. There is the Big Ben, the Red London Bus, British Flags, Red Post Boxes and Red Telephone booths (that will soon house ATM machines) among others that will fascinate your little ones.

The family oriented hangout comprises 4 main components as below:

Relaxation & Leisure 

Family Fitness Room - offers WiO Express's Power Plate (if you like to just stand there and like a machine to exercise you) and other fitness props for the whole family.

A Beauty Secret - hair care products & services, facial, massage, pedicure & manicure for both parents & kids!

A Beauty Secret Studio offers a whole range of services for the whole family

You could be relaxing here while the kids are being taken care of

They had a special of offer where parent hair cut is 20% Off & kid gets a free cut

Some of the many nail colours and medication for pedi mani

Educational Activities & Play 

Activities engaging parents & kids such as workshops, take home kits and enrichment programs

Do you know you can actually paint these by yourself? The kit is number coded so it's pretty fool proof

After your plant grows, The Parenthood will organize further classes for example cook your own homegrown Tomatoes! (for your kids to participate)

My Kingdom playground by The Parenthood - The ultimate way to tire out your kids while you kick back and relax. Just wait till they go home or knock out in the car! The best part about this is the 'Drop & Shop' concept for kids 4 years and older. Each child that enters and their parent will be given a coded wristband. The child will only be allowed to leave the premise with an adult wearing the matching code number which is keyed in to the system. The child will be kept under the watchful eye of one of the many assistants on duty. They also have 2 units of X-Box 360 for the bigger kids to play. The playground has many difficulty levels and could be a hit for bigger children too.

Assistants are constantly watching over the kids

A variety of obstacles with varying difficulty levels make this a fun place for a big age range

So here is our lil 0 Year old enjoying herself on something 

The joy in the faces that shall soon be fast asleep =)

Kids get a complete workout

Dining

At the moment there is only one cafe there that claims to offer healthy food. The cakes were mouth watering to look at and my hubby had a nasi lemak which was not too bad either. However, I was not too impressed with the nuggets I ordered for my son as it look like the store bought ones.

IsMé Beauty & Cafe

IsMé  Beauty & Cafe, Empire Subang

IsMé  Beauty & Cafe recently launched it's own skin care range named IsMé Professional Beauty and Skincare. It combines both cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, or simply Cosmeceuticals with biologically active ingredients. IsMé Beauty & Cafe claims that this range is personally tested and selected by their team of beauty professionals and skincare experts. Made in the USA, the range promises to treat skin conditions, prevent premature aging and protect skin health and beauty. 

IsMé  Beauty & Cafe - Bar

If you haven't already been to one of the 3 cafe's and have no idea what a beauty cafe is I don't blame you as this concept is new in Malaysia. In fact, IsMé  Beauty & Cafe is the first of it's kind in the country, focusing on beauty and health both from within and on the surface. Just like the old saying "You are what you eat".

Wow! This is how low cal food looks like now

Some product testing  and skin analyis

I was privileged to be invited to a briefing and product testing with their expert consultants along with two other bloggers. We were all given different products based on the expert's analysis of our skin to take home and try. My skin is generally healthy, combination skin so I was recommended the O2 Bubble Cleanser. 

How to apply O2 Bubble Cleanser

1. Dot the required amount of product on your cheeks, forehead and chin. 

2. Gently scrub in a circular motion, add a bit of water as you go

3. Once soap suds form, stop and cleanse with water (if you over scrub, the impurities that were lifted off your skin by the soap suds will go back on to your skin)

4. Repeat Steps 1-3 (but you can skip adding more water) to double cleanse. Trust me, your skin will feel noticeably smoother.

O2 Bubble Cleanser. 3 branches in Malaysia

The product is made in USA . Connect with IsMe Beauty & Cafe

The product is clear. You get this size with one pump..

The texture is light, between gel and water and not sticky

Just add some water and gently scrub in circular movements. It's not as bubbly as you would expect.

My thoughts on the product

I like how the product is fragrance free and colourless. The texture and consistency makes it easy to apply. I actually use 2 pumps although you may actually require less. I also like the size of the bottle so that you can use it longer without having to repurchase in a short time.

I recommend that you get their Gentle Foam Milk too. Use the Gentle Foam Milk to remove make up first followed by the O2 Bubble Cleanser and you get a velvety soft feel, You won't stop touching your face (but you should as it may cause breakouts),

I also learned from mi hermana Salma Hayek that you should skip washing your face in the morning to preserve the natural oils that give your skin youth. She always just washes her face before bed. (Yay? Nay? Let me know in the comments below!)

My thoughts on the cafe

I love how everything in the cafe is low in calories, Personally, when I am on a diet, I tend to avoid catching up with friends as it usually involves eating and drinking and being exposed to many temptations, Now, I can meet up with friends in a 'safe' environment! lol 

The ambiance is very cosy too, Perfect for a girls day out.

Perfecto
