Climbing house fence to manual pollinate my female pumpkin flower

It happens that this morning, 3 female pumpkin flower blooming. As they need to be pollinated as soon as they blooming, I have to arrange to climb ladder. Since the highest one is around 12 steps for ladder. I only have 10 steps ladder. In order to improvise, I decided to climb and stand on the fence [2]. Since that is the safest way to do it since I am alone with only 2 cats around. Really feel like stunt woman also after standing at the fence😉

Me on to of the fence. And my cats waiting for me down there (picture top left)

The red circle shows how high the female pumpkin located [2]. 

For those who said gardening is easy, I envy them. Since I do find this activity requires creativity, fast thinking, knowledge,of course research, time, energy, focus, dedication and discipline => to get nice fat round pumpkin😅
After such stunt. I rest with my teddy cat name Dell [1].

Till then, be safe while do gardening 😉

Review on mirror with magnifying function

Below is my review of the mirror with 7x magnifying function after using it more than 4 months time [1]:

Yes. At first it is horrifying. My girlfriend hate it the most. Even others also hate it [2]. As it enables me to see all the imperfections on my skins. Such as huge pores, whiteheads, blackheads, flaky dried skins and etc. But the good part is, it makes me more alert on what is happening to my skins. Also makes me put more effort to have better skin conditions.

For me, I found that it is easy to use in anytime and anywhere. Even when the room have poor lighting or dark. As this mirror have light around it.
Regardless it would be nice to have a huge vanity mirror stationed at home, I have to be cost efficient and practical. As this magnifying mirror is easier to bring and use all the time. Plus, I normally more time in lab and less time at home. Which make a huge vanity mirror not cost efficient for me.

Since I am long sighted glass wearer, I do find my make up become more precise. Such as my eyeliner. The eyeliners becoming more tidy and neat compare to when I am using my 3x magnifying mirror.

Even my foundation less cakey. Since I am able to see clearly which part that need to be given extra care from the magnifying mirror.

After using the mirror, I do found that it helps makes my make up looks more subtle, smooth and flawless. It was like previously, I wrongly put on too much make up on me. Now, I manage to put just nice amount on me. Which also help to save me from using too much and wallet friendly😌

This mirror is not that heavy. Where I am able to put on make up using 1 hand to hold it and 1 more hand to apply it.

The mirror also makes my subconscious perks up more as it shows all the imperfections on my face.

Which I do find it fine as I am able to mend and tend those parts accordingly myself. I only go for facial one (1) time so far. But I refrain from doing so as I do not have extra to splurge on such. Also as I have read where one beauty blogger end up with damage skin condition after go for facial [3,4].

Therefore to be safe and cost efficient, I only scrub and put mask on my face only twice per week. Seems like my method suits me since I have less acne and skin problem. I am able to monitor my skin condition daily in a better way using this mirror.

Magnification mirrors are really designed for people who wear glasses. Either long sighted deficiency or short sighted deficiency. You are able to take your glasses off to apply makeup. As using normal mirror, you can’t see clearly when you take off your glasses and might end up giving up from putting on make up or have very smudge look [5].

My review on 10x magnifying mirror

The mirror size just nice. I am able to store it in my handbag for daily usage touch up. Unlike the other 2 mirror that I have.

My 10x magnifying mirror on my selfie ring light

The mirror just nice to be used and my selfie ring light able to use on it. Especially in places where the lighting is low or dim. Since this mirror do not come with light function.
However I do find that the 10x magnifying quite extensive for me. As I am not able to use it properly when my distance more that 9 cm. My reflection will amplify too much for me. You can see based from second (2nd) picture from above from right. Should be able to see how the monitor reflection looks very curvy in the mirror. I think those who have short sighted vision deficiency also would be able to do wing eyeliner using this kind of mirror.
Think I prefer 7x magnifying function better [1]. Using it [1], I am able to see my full face properly and check whether the blusher that I have put on, even out or not.

Mirror specification:
Material: ABS+Glass
Diameter: 8.7 cm
Magnification: 10x
Weight: Approximately 43 g

Till then, have fun using magnifying mirror for your make up😍

My look for neighbour's son wedding event

I just use simple make up look since the event were held at my neighbour house. The house is just after 5 houses from mine.

I only manage to take selfie before went out and join my other nighbour to go there together. Too busy talking and mingle around once arrive.

List of the item that I used is in the picture

Think I manage to get a youthful look with this make up. If you compare with my profile picture that being taken in 2013 I think, you are able to see the difference regardless same shawl technique 😊 Basically I think manage to achieve my target 😉 Since I am not that young anymore. Therefore, need quite intensive skincare steps to prep my skin in order to achieve a quite youthful look.

To be frank, I just used 1 hand only to do all the work for the look. Since another hand is used to hold my magnifying mirror. As I have long sighted vision deficiency and the sucker to my magnifying mirror sometimes didn't stuck on very well. Which already leads for it to fall and crack early November 2017. Regardless, I have glue it and the mirror still good to be used. Need to make do with all I have in the current economy condition😓

The look of the cracked mirror of mine. Fortunately still good to be used despite the crack 😌

Till the, have fun in putting on make up for event😍

Papaya is very good for menstrual cycle

This month my period is very bad. I am very unstable with premenstrual pains and cramps for almost 2 weeks. Then, when the period come, the blood didn't ooze out properly on the first day. After I drink fresh coconut water on second day menstrual, just few droplets of blood coming out. 

Next day, I peel of my papaya that being covered with newspaper in order to help fast ripening process. Regardless it is still not fully yellow, I just peel the papaya off. The taste of the flesh very sweet regardless it is crunchy [2]. That evening, my period blood finally ooze out properly with normal flow. 

Luckily my home grown organic papaya almost ripe that time. If not, definitely I have to buy the not fresh ones from the market or shop. 

I am very scared when my period blood didn't ooze out. As I am afraid it will stuck inside and become a clot which might eventually leads to a fibroid [3] or cyst [4]. 

I have do few research on papaya. Where as per below article:
"Papaya is an excellent fruit that contains a number of vitamins. It also contains digestive enzymes that cure digestive problems. Well, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that it can also cure your period problems. Whether you are having delayed, little, irregular or painful period, papaya has the cure for all menstrual problems. You can either use ripe or raw papaya for period problems. Eat papaya regularly and witness the change in your period dates" [5].

However, from other readings does state need to eat moderately. As papaya sometimes can lead to over bleeding. Same effect like when eat pineapple.

After eating papaya, I have no stomach cramps. No feeling cold and hot in rapid changes. Less body ache. Which I love. Since previously, all of that contribute to my bad mood and temper.

Till then, have a good menstrual or period week ahead.

Only 1 papaya seed inside my ripe papaya and last night activity

Since yesterday too hot in day time, I decided to play with my cats and do a little gardening works after Maghrib prayers around 8 pm.

Below is the pictures of the activities that being done.

Planting seeds of papaya that I peel and eat last Wednesday [1]

I replant all the seeds at home since I forget to bring my shovel last Thursday to lab. Since I found many snails and slugs, I decided to collect all and dump them inside the whole where I put all the papaya seeds. Basically to control their population from harming my plants and make them as free organic fertilizer. Well, you need to have a very cold heart to do such😅

Plucking the bottom left papaya

Very sweet flesh. However, just have only one (1) seed in the papaya😅

My baby Dell is showing off that he is truly a male regardless his soft face features. He was climbing the cage just to eat only. No intention of staying in the cage at all that time

My baby Dell very good. He waited for me patiently by accompanying me by my side. Keeping me safe. Even wait for me to open the gate regardless he is able to slip out in between the gate gap.

I used my LED torchlight while doing work at night. Think I need to look for my old headlamp for such activity later. Since a lot easier when my hands free😌

For those who are interested with lawn mowing service, can click here for the rate [2].

Till then, be safe while do gardening at night. Make sure to have a good bodyguard like my precious baby Dell😍

My review on vintage flight make up bag

I am using this vintage flight make up bag this week to store in my daily cosmetics. I am satisfied with the size for my cosmetics. Just that it is not big enough for my 7x magnifying mirror 😥[1]. Well, I have to make do with what I have at this moment.

Top compartment with elastic make up brush compartment

The look of the bag before and after it is filled in with cosmetics

This vintage flight make up bag have two (2) compartment to keep the cosmetics organised.  It is smooth faux leather with gold zipper.
The bottom compartment have plastic lining for spill proof convenience. While top compartment have small mirror and elastic make up brush slots. Which it a bonus for me to have make up brush compartment in a make up bag.

Weight: 0.78 kg
Will update the size later.

I love this so-called vintage flight make up bag. It is convenient for me to bring my cosmetics for daily usage. Since I normally remove all of my make up before prayer and put it back on after. As I prefer my skin to have at least a time rest from make up. Regardless how thin the make up layer is.

Till then, have a good time bringing your cosmetics in daily basis😍
