Safi Rania Gold Scrub

This is another product from the Safi Rania Gold . It is a scrub which I use once every week. I think this is a gentle enough scrub. You have to wash your face first. I like this scrub. It is not so abrasive. The price is about RM 15.00.  Nowadays the pigmentation on my face has lessened. I do not agonize about it so much. I think I will  continue to use the De Wajah range.

De Wajah

I bought De Wajah basic skincare for normal skin  which  comprise of cleansing milk, cleanser ,toner and day cream one month ago. A few weeks later I bought their night cream called  Soul cream.  It works well with my skin , sometimes there are some redness but nothing serious.  These range of  products are  easily available at most shops or kiosks selling Malay products or  online.  I like their daycream which is very soft as it acts as a foundation. Their soul cream too , is nice .  They have their makeup range and hair products.  After one month of using the skincare , my face looks fairer and has an even tone.  I think the cleansing milk and cleanser will last until the end of  this month while the toner can last  until the end of March. So far using De Wajah , my face did not break out. For the past five months , I have not had any nasty pimple , perhaps I have normal skin not oily skin  I thought I have.  When I went to RY saloon in Kota Damansara the ladies said I have normal skin.  Perhaps I mistakenly diagnosed my skin all this while..... The price for the basic set normal and dry skin is about RM 260 but you can get some discount at most shops .

 The company is based in Shah Alam and they have a spa at Plaza Alam Central.  For more information you can look up at this link :http://dewajah.net/

Herb roast chicken and potato gratin

Kiki on his favourite place

My mother got a new  oven , so I made a herb roast chicken last night using rosemary and thyme , butter and zest of lemon and the juice. It was not easy to do trussing. The oven had to be heated.  I made   potato gratin too. So about 12.00 midnight the chicken was ready  to be eaten.  My mother and I ate a quarter of the chicken. She  said that the it is nice to eat this kind of roast chicken once awhile. I bought a teriyaki roast chicken from Jusco just  last week.

I find that  adding  lemon in the chicken's cavity made the chicken bitter ,so the   next time I will use  lemon garlic salt instead. I will try to find the salt at Cold Storage one of these days.Today Nas and her children and Rafiq and his family are here for the holidays. His newborn son,  Rayyan.Z is in the hospital because of yellow fever.
This afternoon my mother grilled another chicken and made  chicken soup for my sister in law , Ti..Tonight we saw the movie 'Delisa' and I made a pesto sauce with grilled aubergine. 

Olay Natural White

I switched to Olay  Natural White early this year. This cream is supposed to eliminate dark spots and and brown spots. Since I have used the Olay classic a lot in the past , I think Olay White would be fine for  me. At first when I used this cream , it stung . Perhaps it is because my face was sensitive , as always I try the cream again . I use the cream at day time.  Nowadays it is  ok .   I like this cream and I think  Iwill continue to use  this cream in the future .  I find my brown spots are  getting smaller .

Zende Restaurant and Mal

My sister Yati came back  on the 12th January. Nas came back on the 19th , so they had a sleepover at the  Seri Pacific hotel . They treated us with a buffet dinner at Zende restaurant.  Thank you for the lovely treat .  The food was nice . He he he.  

Mal got his ticket to Saudi at last , and he departed on the 23rd of January. Alhamdulillah. My mother said that at last she can go to  sleep.  My father had invited his friends from the mosque after Suboh prayers for  a small gathering .  So the last child had finally made his way for his studies. He said that it is  cold in Madinah nowadays.

Syahirah cleansing milk

 A few weeks ago , my face was itching  for a few days. I had to use the calamine lotion to calm the rashes.  . Lastly , I found out that it was the cleansers . The soap and the cleansing milk. So I stopped  using the cleanser and toner for awhile.  When I went to Sogo , I bought the Syahirah cleansing milk . I find that the cleansing milk is gentle enough and does not cause any irritation.  This cleansing milk is not readily available at the Guardian near my house. I have not checked at Tesco . The price is  RM 15.90.

Lunch Menu and Pickled Petai

I made petai jeruk or pickled petai last three days.  Petai are green beans in a pod. It has a strong smell yet wonderful to eat . My mother used to make sambal petai  but not pickled ones. There are some blogs which showed how to make the pickled petai. It is quite simple , boil the petai in it's pod until it became quite yellow. Then boil some salt with water let , it cool. Then add the boiled petai into the cool salt water . For more information you can find a blog about pickled petai here : http://outdoorfreak.blogspot.com/2009/03/jeruk-petai.html  Wait for 4 to 5 days.  Today my father is not well, He has vertigo and my mother had prepared a simple meal .
