My Feel-Good Secrets
Norasyikin Binti Abd Wahid
Juggling two children and a growing business? Norasyikin somehow makes it look easy. As the brains behind Bebetummy – one of Malaysia’s first baby food brands with yummy, ready-to-eat frozen meals – she’s on a mission to make mealtimes easier (and way healthier) for busy families. We caught up with her to chat about motherhood, chasing dreams, and the little self-care tips that keep her smiling every day.
My day doesn’t officially start until…
I’ve had a quiet moment to myself in the stillness of the early morning. I drink a warm glass of water and say my morning prayer – it helps set the tone for the day ahead.
A little habit that makes a difference to my day is…
Taking a moment to look up at the sky and watch its colours shift from dark to light. Every day is a fresh start.
I juggle a lot, but I never compromise on…
The physical and emotional well-being of my kids.
My skincare ritual I never skip is…
Serum and moisturiser – always!
The one thing always in my fridge is…
Eggs! Great protein and so versatile for any meal.
The quickest way I recharge is…
Taking a deep breath and enjoying a quiet moment alone.
My version of doing nothing looks like…
Lying down in stillness, letting thoughts come and go. I listen to my mind sorting things out – doing nothing is actually pretty hard for me!
My toddler recently said something hilarious. It was…
Saying “Oh no!” to just about everything he sees or does — it’s his new favourite phrase!
The mum advice I always give but rarely follow is…
“Less sugar!” I tell my 11-year-old – but quietly sneaking chocolate when she’s not looking.
I feel like a superhero when I…
Successfully breastfed both my children exclusively until they were two. I also get a sense of victory from tackling chores like cleaning, scrubbing toilets, or folding laundry!
The best piece of advice I ever got was…
From my mum: “Raising kids gets harder as they grow older, not easier.”
The mistake I’m now grateful for…
Overspending and unhealthy eating. They taught me valuable lessons.
The best thing I did for my career was….
Leaving my corporate job, being a stay-at-home mum for a while, and starting my own business.
