Turmeric juice

My sister Sadd came back from Jakarta . She was on a show on Friday morning . All my sisters were here. We went to Shah Alam to Gulati's and then to have a nice lunch at a Vietnamese restaurant. This month we started to buy oranges and apples again for juicing purposes. I have not been very adventurous with this juicing thing though . I thought of buying some beets for the colour. So far I have not bought any. Last year I have made some Turmeric juice a.k.a Jamu Kunyit Asem. . I am not going out so much now . My sister Yati is going to Dubai this Saturday. Then it will Ramadhan. It was hectic last Ramadhan. I have not named the new cat but I think it has an owner .

Zamian Cocoa Mask and Muna Asy Syifa Herbs

I have received the gold cocoa mask today. I have tried and I liked it ,the mask is velvety and my skin feels soft after 20 minutes. I also received a Cacao facial scrub.I will wait and hopefully my pores will shrink by then . I think it will take about one month judging from the testimonies in the internet.
I also dragged my mother yesterday evening to buy some herbal preparations by Muna Syifa . The herbal product is free from preservatives and has been around for 40 years. What I liked most is that they have really nice traditional products for ladies and for a blissful marriage. I liked the bath herbal preparation. My mother seemed to like it too .
Today I also saw a toxin and fat foot patch from Japan.All you have to do is to put the patch on your feet and go sleep. It is sold for RM 89 for one pack. My husband is losing weight so perhaps I should try.

Korean skin care
















Shills Hydrating Nutrient Mask = It can be used overnight . The difference is wonderful . It is made with sprirulina extract .





The skin after using the golden cacao mask







Look the no more pores !!!

For the past one week I have been surfing for beauty products. I stumbled across the BB cream. A Korean product which is used by the Korean movie stars. I have also wondered how they do get the flawless look. I found out about Skin79 which can be bought online for RM 70 to RM 90 depending on the seller. The retail price is RM 179 to RM 189 . Skin Food has their own BB cream which sells for RM 54.90. And then from there I saw their ad for the face mask. Well a picture is worth a thousand words. Need I see more, I was hooked. I was hooked by the photos only , not the description.
One of the face masks which attracted me most is the Shills Hydrating Nutrient Mask 50ml which cost from RM 39 to RM 50 depending on the seller. And another one the Korean Gold cocoa mask set which comes with two different soaps. I have just bought the mask from Wanita Melayu.com seller Zeta Joe for RM 81 . She said that I could use it over night. So here are some of the photos of both masks. Enjoy.

One Year

















It has been one year since I 've blogged. There are two cats which called out whenever they are hungry. One an old orange coloured male which really looks dirty and there is a cute female cat with blue eyes. I haven't seen her before but cats will be cats. They come and go. I did not see the white kitten for a long time .Yesterday I went out with my mother to attend Dr Azizan Osman's seminar on potential wealth . It's mostly on wealth and on birth dates . Awang is fighting with another cat outside the house.
I think I will get a book by T Harve Eker. He wrote the Secrets of the Millionaire Mind. I have to finish some work. The picture above is my dream bedroom.

One year

Next week on the 29th of July it will be one year since I first blogged. Looking back, some things have changed. I am finally working at home . These are some things in my wish list :
T le clerc face powder, Lancome foundations , Roc Multi Correxxion and some Kose products .However I think that it is better for me to spend below my means. At this moment, still things are said I find that I always go back to the natural skin care . I went back to the honey and egg yolk mask, and I find my self pouring the old aromatherapy books that I bought way back in 2003. I bought an Eve Taylor's facial oil no.5 for my mother. It smells very nice , the geranium scent . I thought of buying the geranium essential oil and some others by Biossentials. They have a lovely range sold at the British India store in Bandar Utama. I also discovered Sutra essence which is produced locally. The essential oils are not so expensive compared to the ones by Eve Taylor.
You can find Sutra essentials at http://sutraessential.com/ and it can be bought on line from http://www.kedainiaga.com/ The Eve Taylor essential oil can be bought at the Leonard Drakes stores.
I think I will buy for my self the face oil later when my Olay has finished. And another thing which I realised is that I tend to go back to Olay. I have been reading skin care product reviews . Currently it is my favourite thing to do. I am still using the Esmeria Hydrating face wash. It does not contain SLS or Paraben and I do not feel any tightness after I wash my face . I also stumbled across a local product called Giena skin care where the products do not contain SLS or any harmful chemicals. I called to ask how much is the aromasense serum. Since the cleanser itself cost about RM 100 , I think it is safe to think that the serum will cost more . You can find out about the products here at :

Lady bird books

I have been surfing for beauty products while working. There are some things which caught my eye. One the Colour Stay revlon foundation. I saw that many women in You tuve loved this foundation. Another is from Kose, a whitening mask which is black . And then I watched old footage of Fauziah Ahmad Daud back in 1983.
Today I talked to my sister Yati about the old fairy tale books by Lady Bird. I especially liked Cinderella. Yati and Saadah thought it is the most beautiful Cinderella book they have ever seen and so do I. Yatie will be off to Dubai to stay for two years. So another sibling is staying elsewhere. When I was surfing I discovered the Ladybird prints and there she is . Cinderella in her pink gown and some other covers which I remembered. I hope one day to get back those nostalgic books.Here is the website for those who remembers http://www.ladybirdprints.com/collection.php?collid=586

Blue berry pie

Yesterday I made my first blueberry pie. The recipe calls for some lemon juice but I did not get those. I have lost the weighing machine but luckily I have written the cup measurements. It gets very soft when I add the egg perhaps I should use cold water instead. I have the recipe from where I don't remember right now and the pie crust is really buttery soft. One can of blue berry the S & W , will yield little blue berry so next time I should add two cans but it is expensive . I do not make a pie like what a pie should look like.
My parents had a shock when they come back to the renovated house . It is really nice. They have a nice time in Seychelles. Yesterday my sister Nas, bought one of those pressure cleaners. I saw the yellow one called Karcher .It does clean the very moldy walls. So my brother Mal, is the D.I.Y man of the day.
My next project is spinach quiche. Another savoury pie apart from the cottage pie.It seems that my baking repertoire is pies. I would like to make tartlets . Then I have to buy the pie tin and a weighing machine. Making this pies is relaxing.
