Koleksi Sabun 14 Mac 2012

Assalamualaikum...

dah lama gak tak tulis pape kan, dalam blog nih..

m lebih nak jadikan blog ni notebook online m.. 
nak jadikan diari tak leh..bahaya!
hahahaha

i think i've said it before.. but i dont mind saying it again...

idea tu banyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak!!

nak membuatnya tu kurang masa....

nak kata takde masa tu salah... sebab masa tu ada...
betul tak effa?!!!

tapi effa tak tau pun pasal blog ni!
appalaaaa!
esok m kasitau! InsyaAllah!!
=)

i was talking about soaping... kurang masa dan kurang resources..

....

ok tukar topik..

m rasa cam sabun ni leh dibuat daripada apa-apa sahaja...

maksud m bahan pelarutnya... 

selain air..

m dah guna santan kelapa dari awal.. 
pastu m guna dragonfruit yang di blend.. 
pastu air.. 
pastu m guna kacang merah campur air..sebab pekat sangat 'lye' tu susah nak larut. 
daun pandan campur air pun dah..

untuk scrub efek dah guna kacang, kulit manggis, dragonfruit yg diblend, 
sabun kacang merah pun m rasa ada kut scrub efek dia, walaupun sedikit..

....

effa nak kawin bulan 6 ni. 

so m ingat nak bagi dia wedding present..

apa lagi?! 

sabun m laaa..

ramai kawan/sedara dok tanya.. 
bukan min tak nak bagi.. 
nak jumpa korang pun susah.. 
bila jumpa/ada depan mata, terlupa lak.. tak teringat.. 
alasan2 yang klise gitewwww.
maaaaffffff!!

nak jual, m tak reti nak kira costing lagi.. 
kang termahal lak kan.. 
kena tembak@marah lak kang!

tapi Essential Oil memang mahal kay.. 
m nya soaps so far samada unfragranced atau with EO. 

fragrance oil m ada, tapi kurang berminat nak guna on my soaps.. 

yes, i might rethink this in the years to come but not yet..
i kinda like using EO's in my soaps.. 
natural gitu!! 

a aww you! ;)

nanti kalau jumpa m kat umah, terus mintak laaa...
insyaAllah kalau sabun tu ada banyak lagi, m bagi laa..

most of my soaps m wat dalam 8 bars je.. 
limited.. (kalau m potong 2 lagi, dapatlaa 16 small bars..)
so tak leh laa nak bagi kalau dah tinggal satu dua.. 

sebabnya....

alaaa...

malu laa nak cakap...

sebab...

m pun nak pakai...

hehehehe....

sabun ni sebenarnya kena continuously buat, sebab curing prosesnya lama..

i think i have an amount that should last for at least 3-5 mths lagi kut.. 
average seminggu hingga 2 minggu 1 bar... 
sebab min kerap mandi.. 
satu hari kalau hari kerja leh mandi 3 kali.. 
kalau cuti? fikir-fikirkan lah.. 
=)
sebab min kuat berpeluh...

tapi bab-bab estimation ni m memang lemah..

entah2 less than that..

ni nak tunjuk m nya soap collection haritu on Mar 14, 2012. 
dah upload dah kat facebook. 
sapa yang dah tengok tu tengoklah lagi skali naaa...

by now, i've added 2.. or was it 3 more soaps...


okay.

it might be slightly more than 5 months...

but i HAVE to make some more!!!

and i like making more!!

kat skolah dulu, amali sains tak pegi sangat...

tu yang balas dendam masa dok wat sabun ni.

bereksperimen habis-habisan!!

kan.. kan.. kan..

hehehe!!

take care peeps!!

chao!!

my notebook is upstairs but i think this one is unfragranced..

Nice double colour but had to rebatch!!

Salam,

m so sad..

many soaps had to rebatch..

dunno what went wrong..


look at these two pics, top and bottom


dont you think i did it okay..? (rhetorical)
not beautiful but averagely wonderful..

kan.. kan.. kan..

hahaha


but i had to rebatch!
lye pockets... AGAIN!!!!


final picture..

with frankinscense kay!! plus 2 more EO's..

scent upon mixing was too eeeeeeew!

after it has cured for about 4 weeks,
scent had mellowed..

and it smelled good.

and m happy with the final outcome!

:)

chao chao!!

Laundry Soap

Salam..

tried making my own laundry soap.

just plain soap. zero superfat with tap water.

yup, you heard read me right! I used tap water!

why?

it's just for laundry. why should i use coconut milk or distilled water..


i used it for 3-4 washes recently and added manmade vinegar as a softener.

no added borax or baking soda or whatever during washing..


dont have time to check the laundry really.. to see if there is a difference..

hopefully i can feel the difference when i wear my clothes!


and since its not the bought detergent i use, m happy enough!

i'm trying to decrease my usage of factory produced detergents..

 i try.. dunno how long it will ast tho.


pic before grating.
crumbly, due to no superfatting..
 right?



grated..




close up of grated soap..

cantik kan?  :)




another close up..

i loike!!



curing period!!

chao chao!!


Another Rebatch!

Salam...

I dont plan to write much on this.

i dont have the ingredients list with me.
(m dok curi2 waktu pejabat ni.. tak baguih!!)

but this is an obvious rebatch!!

with some ash problem still !! ;(

enjoy the pics anyway!!







Chao!!
