My third experimental massage oil

Just made this new batch from third formulation of massage oil this morning. I am using special oil that consists chiefly of the terpenes (+)- and (−)-α-pinene, (−)-β-pinene and camphene.

The process of making the massage oil.

Still need time to test its functionality. I still prefer to make my own massage oil. As I will know what kinds of ingredients that I used. And what kind of ingredients that I can add on based on my body needs. 

Until then, have fun in making your own homemade massage oil.

My review on AWEI ES-500i earphone

I bought this AWEI ES-500i earphone last 21 August 2022. As my previous earphone is only able to listen on its right part [1]. Despite I have soldered back the wire that comes off from its connection. 

I just love the earplug type of earphone. Just my personal preference. It also helps me to stay focused on my work. Since it does isolate other sounds and noise when wearing it. As I am quite sensitive to sounds. Also, it helps a lot when listening to instrumental songs like Bond [2].

My reviews:

Pros

• the sound coming from the earphone is satisfying. Clear, good bass. It is good enough for me to use to listen to voice messages given in WhatsApp apps on my phone. 
• have a built-in microphone. Easy for me to use it hands-free while driving or walking or when in online meetings 
• enables me to enjoy my music selection or playlists without disturbing people who are sitting next to me. My preference for privacy 

Cons

• it does not have a physical button to pause/answer calls/volume up or down. No issue since I can use my phone button to increase or decrease volume. However, I accidentally press and call the emergency number while shuffling with the volume button while the phone was inside its pouch yesterday evening 23 August 2022. Which I found very dangerous. 
• have to add a clip. So that the earphone will not fall down to the ground and intact on my clothes instead. Just a safety precaution that I do as my SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) each time I use earphones. It does help to reduce the possibility of losing the earphone. Safety matters. Being careful is a must.

Testing my water dispenser

I bought a water dispenser after make research for it. Since my hands are no longer able to lift a full 5-liter water bottle to fill in the electric kettle to make boiled after. It was delivered on 21 August 2022. Only able to test it on the morning of 24 August 2022.

YouTube link (incase the above did not show):

My review:

Yes.the water dispenser works. With 5 liter bottle. After this,no need to lift the full 5 liter bottle to cook water in electric kettle💪🏻. The water flow is also strong. Can refer to the above video as proof.

It can also be used for camping or field site visits or gardening in kebun.

Those who are interested to buy this water dispenser can always contact me at using this link wa.link/f98ivz .

Until then, have fun dispensing water from the 5-liter water bottle.

Furball ravishing the fallen Harum Manis mango fruit

This is taken on the evening of 22 August 2022. Where one of my Harum Manis mango fruit fall before it fully matured in the morning. Then while I was letting Furball for her outing session, she immediately took the fruit. Where I put it on my car hood after take its pictures. I was astounded to see how aggressive Furball ravishing it. I do not know why she behave such way. First time ever seeing her being so aggressive with a mango.

YouTube video link: https://youtube.com/shorts/40Lc0OAI6ao?feature=share. Incase the video is not properly shown.

Regardless, the fallen premature Harum Manis mango fruit does smell very fragrant.

Until then, have fun in letting your cat out for a breather.

Adding holding accessory to my Dual Drive Go USB Type-C from SanDisk

This is taken on the morning of 31 August 2022. Where I added a ring to my Dual Drive Go USB Type-C from SanDisk. So that later I can add it into a hook for better safety in daily usage.

Can see the evolution from using 2 devices (pendrive and OTG cable) to only 1 device (Dual Drive Go USB Type-C from SanDisk). Which safe a lot more space in my daily bag💪.

Magicboo now open in Taman Universiti, Skudai Johor since 15 August 2022

I notice the signage of Magicboo in Taman Universiti, Skudai morning of 15 August 2022. But did not have the time to drop by and check it out. 

After checking online, then only know it started open on 15 August 2022 from the Facebook page Magicboo. 

I am very happy seeing it since now it is much nearer for me to go to Magicboo. Last time I need to drive all the way to Taman Ungku Aminah and Bukit Indah if wanted to go to Magicboo. I love hair products from Magicboo. I notice last 29 October 2021, both branches in Nusa Bistari and Taman Ungku Aminah closed [1]. Then Magicboo branch in Taman Ungku Aminah open again last 13 December 2021. Maybe the one in Taman Ungku Aminah closed last time due to the renovation process.

Until then, have fun going to the Magicboo branch near you.

Making lip balm infused with my self harvested honey from stingless bees

This is taken in the morning. I am able to spare time and energy making it. After studying about it for almost 2 weeks. Since I am infusing the harvested honey from my stingless bees. 

The look of the made lip balm in lip balm tube with the label. I have calculated for 15 gm output. So able to fill in 3 lip balm tubes of 5 gm each. This batch is without color.

I still need to learn a lot in the finishing process. The outcome is still not as neat as the one sold in pharmacy stores like Guardian and Watson. Well, this is my first attempt using a lip balm tube.

The look of ingredients that need to melt in the heat process. I am using the double bath method using my 1.2 liter multi cooker. 

The look of honey drops in the melted ingredients. 

This is part of my stress relieving activity. At the same time, my aging and dry lips get moisturizing benefits from the output. Plus I am able to test using my new digital scale with 0.01 gm precision. It works well. Just need to do some modifications to it to increase its robustness level. I am also able to measure for output 5 gm with better accuracy and precision. Compared when using a digital scale with 1 gm and 0.1 gm precision. As the need to round up more when using a digital scale with more than 0.01 gm precision. For the digital scale,  I appreciate more decimal points 😁. Maybe just me being peculiar on extra precision. 

Among used ingredients are shea butter, carrier oil, thickener, antioxidant, emollient, emulsifier, preservatives, stingless bees honey and argan oil. This lip balm is safe to be used by toddlers and those who want to return their natural lip color after it turns dark.

I even get requests to prepare a lip balm starter kit with a teaching manual. One of my customers wanted to use it for weekend activities with their youngest daughter. In order to get her interested in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics). The process of making this lip balm involves mathematics, chemistry, time management skill (planning ahead) and basic cooking skill.

Since the number of students taking STEM is alarmingly lower these days. Now trying my best complete the request.

Have fun making and using your homemade lip balm infused with honey.

Second batch of magnesium lotion

This is taken on the evening of 7 August 2022. I made a new batch of magnesium lotion based on the customer's request. This time, I have used additional ingredients to improve the texture of the magnesium lotion for a much smoother application.

The look of the output. I get 2 containers of 35 gm, 1 container of 15 gm and 5 containers of 5 gm.

I really love and satisfy with the texture of this second batch. It is 30% smoother in application compared to the first batch. Worth the time spent studying it.

Magnesium lotion does helps to reduce my demonic premenstrual pain from getting loose

Was having 1 level up of premenstrual pain on the morning of 2 August 2022. The demonic pain does feel like how Mammon, Lucifer's son tries to breach into the human world in the movie Constantine minutes 2:00 till 3:06 [1,2]. My extra dramatic way of describing the pain😁. Despite I applied both magnesium oil and magnesium lotion at that time on clean skin after the bath. It was annoyingly excruciating pain.

On 3 August 2022, I can feel my body fast getting cold, 30 minutes after morning bath. That is after I applied both magnesium oil and magnesium lotion at that time on clean skin after the bath. But thankfully 20 minutes after that, I am able to still go to work.

In a way, I am thankful to be able to discover magnesium oil and magnesium lotion. It does help a lot to improve my body condition. Both magnesium oil and magnesium lotion are for transdermal application only.

Until then, have fun applying magnesium oil and magnesium lotion daily.
