Sea weed

My father has bought  dried seaweed last month. I have known it as food for beauty  . It was all over the net last year as collagen. As it turned out , seaweed do have  good properties.It has many minerals and vitamins especially for the skin. . My father has bought it especially  for his heart.  The dried sea weed comes from Sabah. They have 3 types of  seaweed according to grade. There is yellow , purple and green. You need to boil it in water after you have washed and soak the seaweed for a night. My mother cooks it and the three of us would eat the seaweed once it has been cooled down . It odorless and one can add screwpine leaves to fragrant it .

 This the fourth time my father has bought the seaweed. It is in a 100 grm packet  . There are some sellers online who would sell it in 1 kg or more.  I have not used it for mask though.  I find that my skin looks plumper  .  You need to take 2 to 3  spoonfuls of the chilled jelly , add with syrup or juice in the mornings on an empty stomach or when you retire to bed. You need to refrain from drinking coffe and tea when you consume the jelly  .  The jelly is tasteless and some people cook it with  syrup  The price of the seaweed is RM 15 and you can buy it online or at kioks or jamu shops.

Bourjois Blush No.40 Tea Rose

Bourjois is a French brand which was available in Kuala Lumpur in the 80's in Metro Jaya . I used to look at it their stuff in Sg Wang way back then. It is not available in Malaysia anymore. I think I have bought a brown eye shadow. The brand is available in Dubai and in Riyadh. So this time around, I bought for my self a blusher.It is no.40 , Rose Tea. The colour is deep red . So a little bit will suffice. I wished I had bought another eye shadow but that can be arranged . He he he. The price of this blusher is SR 53. I have used this blush a couple of times. I need a blush brush. I don't have many brushes because I don't  wear makeup most of the times.

I have bought another  Day cream from De Wajah. It is soft and creamy and with yellow colour. This is Ramadhan month   . Last two days , we had a feast as usual with my mother cooking her fabulous fish curry , Yati with her fried shrimps and another vegetable dish, Nas with her kerabu and a  chicken dish , ikan Pari bakar or baked shall we say sting ray and air asam to dip.  I was asked to make cream caramel and GG bought a cake from Secret Recipe. The only family not around is Sadd's,Zahid's  and a few husbands.

At the moment I have a pimple on my forehead which won't go away. I have been using a face pack of garbanzo powder , tumeric , honey and yogurt every other day.  It is working . I have a nicer tone face  and no break outs. I was thinking of buying some oil such as almond oil, argan , tamanu or jojoba oil and some nice essential oil to make a face oil. Then frankinsence essential oil is pricey if you want a renowned essential oil like from Neal's Yard or Culpeper from Zalora. It is better to buy a 30 ml bottle but then again you can make a face oil , two or three times. I wonder ...

Abdul Samad Al Qurashi Tibr Al Oud

This is a very nice bakhoor from Abdul Samad Al Qurashi.  It is agarwood powder .The smell is  lovely and  relaxing. This is the second jar I have , since I loved the smell so much.  I would use it a few times a month depending on my mood.  There are other bakhoor I have yet to try from this company.  I have asked my brother Mal to buy this one for me from Madinah . He is here with his wife for nearly a month.

My sister Nas and Yati are back in Malaysia  with their families. Sadd will be back in August while Zahid and his family won't be coming back this Aidil Fitri  this year.
