Making hot rose water for night drink

This is taken in the night of 13 September 2021. Where I get to harvest 1 large blooming rose flower in the morning. Decided to steep the rose flower into hot water for my night drink.

This is just rose kampung flower. Where it smells fragrant and sweet when let it steep into hot water. A very nice hot drink at night. Since due to my quite critical sleep disorder, I can no longer even drink green tea after 3 pm. That is why I have to resort to herbal drink that I am sure contains no caffeine in it.

If I have cravings for tea or coffee, I have to make sure to drink it the very next morning. No longer able to enjoy them whenever I want to. Well, have to be strict if want to get good sleep daily.

Till then, have fun in enjoying your hot rose water drink at night.

Gifting my homemade lips and face balm to my gorgeous Aunties

This is taken in the morning of 16 October 2021. Where I gifted 2 of my Aunties my homemade lips and face balm. All 3 of us are fully vaccinated. 

I made the balm early morning before Subuh prayer that very morning. Using quality ingredients with precise measurement and process. Among used ingredients is cocoa butter, argan oil and vitamin E. This cocoa butter is not same category with butter of Buttercup ya. It is cocoa butter specifically for skin or external usage. Since I get that question from my Aunt.

I choose to add argan oil as I have used it as it is last time. And it does makes my skin looks supple and smooth despite I was sleeping in air conditioning room that night. It is really a wonder oil that suits and compatible with my skin. 

I used this homemade lips and face balm on my lips, face, neck, hands, elbows, ankles and feetsin daily basis. Still studying method to add my harvested stingless bees honey into the balm. As the stingless bees honey is quite delicate ingredient to add into existing formula.

Suggested sequence to use this homemade lips and face balm:

1. Wash face with facial cleanser.

2. Apply toner.

3. Apply serum.

4. Apply this homemade lips and face balm.

Till then, have fun sharing good homemade lips and face balm.

My next step in containing the itchy dried skin

This is taken last 28 September 2021. Where the knuckle to my right point finger feel extremely dry and itchy. To the point I feel the dried skin might scrape off despite I just rub it when the itchiness arise. I have put on my homemade lips and face balm. Still unable to sooth it out. Then I remembered that I was blessed with type of *cream for very dry skin and eczema early this year. I go to wash my hands with soap. Pat it dry. Then put on thin layer of the *cream for dry skin. After that, the excessive itchiness reduced way better than using my homemade balm. Glad to be able to solve my sudden excessive dry skin condition. I think last time I faced such extreme condition is during 2015. Seems like my menstrual do flared up such dry skin condition again after almost 6 years. Really need to put into my condition notes for future reference. 

I take around 5 gm of the *cream for dry skin from large jar of 450 gm into smaller container. For easy access to use in daily basis. Which I bring along every time I move in my phone pouch. Really feel glad to start have better and more knowledge on skin condition and solution. 

Till then, be safe while tending after your excessive dry skin conditions.

The look of 13 unit coconut fruits (kelapa pandan) planted at home

This is taken in the evening of 12 October 2021. Where finally 13 coconut fruits (kelapa pandan) have a promising growing development. Before this, it is 17 unit coconut fruits (kelapa pandan) last 3 September 2021 [1]. This is after a consistent usage of homemade fertilizer made from onion and garlic peels [2]. Which I start used since 28 September 2021.

Before this, I can only get up to 3 coconut fruits (kelapa pandan) per stalk. Unlike previously in May 2020 [3]. Which I suspected due to lack of few minerals in soils after 1 year growth. Despite I have put many compost fertilizer, coarse salt, wood vinegar and revival potion spray. Makes me put effort to make homemade fertilizer.

I diluted the homemade fertilizer with ratio 30 ml fertilizer with 3 liter non-chlorine water. I spray to the fruits, stem and also to the plant base. Spray with 2 days gap. So that the plant will have time to absorb the diluted homemade fertilizer. I would strongly advised to make patch test. With lower dosage of dilution. In order to avoid from burning or lilling the sprayed plant. Especially smaller plants like chili and etc.

I am very happy with my experiment and the bountiful outcome. Worth my time and effort.

Till then, have fun in getting good result with your homemade fertilizer.

The look of cooked bread. Very fluffy. Have similar texture with Papa Roti bread. The chocolate chips does complement well the baked bread.

I do help my girlfriend to unboxing her free gift that comes with the Thermomix set.

I do think this device will really helps those who have limited kitchen space for cooking appliances. As Thermomix can also be used for blending food, stir fry and a lot more. An oven or air fryer will really helps to compliment Thermomix. But the price wise reminds me back that I should just do the current cooking steps of mine😅.
