Jacelyn Tay Shares Her Own 'No Helper' Lifehacks As A Working Mum

"Well, if details of life are taken care of immediately, we prevent unnecessary added tasks," writes Jacelyn.

It’s not easy having to balance your work-life with household chores, especially if you haven’t got a maid. But former Medicorp actress Jacelyn Tay seems to manage just fine with no helper at all despite being a working mum.

In fact, she’s even shared a few ‘lifehacks’ on how to simplify household chores for other busy mums. 

The celeb mum not only has to run wellness centre Body Inc but also has to look after her son Zavier. According to her Instagram posts, she even has time to indulge in her own hobbies like gardening! 

So how does busy mum Jacelyn Tay manage to simplify household chores for a ‘stress-free’ life? Jacelyn took to TikTok to share her ‘lifehacks’ with no helper needed.

Jacelyn Tay Gives ‘Lifehacks’ On How To Simplify Household Chores

To let other working mums in the loop on how to simplify household chores without a maid,

Jacelyn shares three ‘lifehacks’ that has helped her get by. Here are a few she’s shared so far:

Lifehack #1: Wipe your shower screen immediately after a bath

Water stains in the bathroom can be a pain to constantly wipe clean, especially if you regularly take showers.

As a solution, Jacelyn Tay suggests wiping your shower screen immediately after every bath. 

Jacelyn explains, “It saves you some glass cleaner and keeps your screen from water stains always.”

In her video, Jacelyn does just that by wiping her bathroom screen after a good shower. This way, not only do you get to freshen yourself up but you get to “save time and glass cleaner”.

Ironing clothes is one of the most time-consuming household chores. It’s even more difficult if you’re ironing for the entire family. Jacelyn’s answer to this is simple: dry-fit clothes.

The celeb mum introduces parents to “the new era of stress-free clothes” which she revealed to be dry-fit tees and iron-free shorts.

She shares how they are “resilient in [the] washing machine” then only need to be washed and dry. That’s it!

“My son says, I know why Spiderman wears dry-fit. He has no time to iron clothes. Neither do I!” humorously adds Jacelyn in her second video.

In her most recent video, the celeb mum shares a quick and easy Avocado Mango salad recipe for parents who want to prepare a simple meal.

“When you have no help and you have to save cooking time”, Jacelyn recommends this nutritious meal. 

All you need is to do is:

  • Cut the avocado and mango
  • Chop some onions and tomatoes
  • Mash the avocado then throw in the mangoes, onions and tomatoes
  • Grind some pepper on top and mix
  • Squeeze a bit of lemon and you’re done!

“Healthy eating needs not much or no cooking at all!” writes Jacelyn. 

She even suggests, “Pair it with an oven-baked tortilla wrap or just romaine lettuce. Ooolala!”

“The very first thing I want my son to learn about life is management – plan and organise. Prevent problems arising from inefficiency and mismanagement which waste more time,” Jacelyn writes in one of her posts.

She adds, “If we want a stress-free life, good management of people, health, finance, home and work is crucial.”
