Shampoo Bar

i wanna make a shampoo bar(s) tomorrow, using Soap Queen recipe.

maybe i could ask my mom to take care of Nawfal in the morning...

hehehe

Otherwise i cant do anything.. really.. 

right now, his naps are really really short.maybe an hour or less.
and if that happens, i really cant do anything but just sit beside him and watch him play, when he wakes up. and watch a bit of TV when he sleeps.

he's in the stage where he will crawl, yes. and CLIMB. just so he could stand.
he's started climbing the stairs, which is a definite no-no.
he has been watching us going up and down the stairs so he wants to do the same.
but he could only managed to climb the first step so far..

i'm really excited about the shampoo bar thing.
i want to cure my dandruff woes.

if it works, i can have my daughter use it too coz her dandruff problem is slightly worse than mine.

i've only used my soap bars as an All-in-One, Top-to-Toe kind-of wash. I use it for my hair and body. 

I have many soaps for use now but i want to have a specific one for my hair, 
specifically to cure my dandruff! 

hopefully this works!

XOXO

apa apa sahaja

m ingat m kena fikir secara serius apa yang min nak dalam kehidupan m.
terutamanya berkenaan sabun min. 

sama ada min nak jual atau tak. 

dan kalau min nak jual, min nak jual apa sebenarnya...

m rasa m dah pernah post something like this before...


hmm..


but seriously, memang m kena fikirkan pasal ni.


m dah buat pendaftaran perniagaan sebelum ni tapi itu pun sebab nak dapatkan NaOH.

dan akhirnya, pendaftaran tu tinggal nama jerr..

sebab tak jual apa-apa pun dan tak war-warkan nama perniagaan tu pun pada sesiapa.


banyak sangat benda yang perlu m fikir, m buat.


m tak boleh nak jual sabun-sabun yang berlainan setiap kali.

m kena pastikan m ada beberapa sabun asas.

dan kemudian, baru hasilkan sabun baru.


tapi bosanlah buat sabun yang sama sampai bila-bila.. kan..


kan..?

Latest ITP Swirl soap (26Oct12)

Salam,

I've managed to make at least 8 bars of soap last Friday!!

Yea!!

It's been awhile, really!!

i was so so so hoping for it ..

and alhamdulillah, I managed to make some!!

The only available colours i have was 

the carbon (black-grey colour) and turmeric (yellow-orange).

no time to blend the pandan leaves that day for the colour green.

made do with whatever i have in hand!

tore off some dried roselle leaves.

if only i had immerse them in the distilled water earlier, 

i would have had a reddish purplish water. 

but i doubt that colour would stay after i've mixed lye into it 

(thats another adventure-haha)

feel free to feast your eyes!!

it was a last minute decision to do the ITP swirl

here's the soap, wet

Look at the picture above and tell me what you see  =)

i like the effect the flash made to the soap pic, all shiny!!

chao chao!!

p.s I've decided, for this post, that i put the date next to the post title

 so that I know when i made the soap.

i know, i should take notes but it is derived from the same recipe as before.

except for the EO's!

this time I managed to actually put almost the correct amount. 

i did say almost!

Patchouli, lavender, and lime..

i think!

oops!

Unable-to-Soap blues....

i want to make soap so baaaad.

cant seem to get my timing right to do this..

i cant do it while my nephew's awake

i cant do it while he's asleep coz i'll be asleep with him!

i'm reading the status of soapers in Soapers Retreat on FB and i'm so so so sad that I cant make my own.

ooh time management issues!!

need some one to look after the kid while i make some soap!!

HELP!

:'(

munch.. sleep..cherish!

i want to lose weight..

how?

i need a good nights rest.

otherwise when i reach the office i wont be able to stop munching.

why i munch?
to stop myself from getting sleepy..

why i get sleepy?

i sleep late, getting the kids stuff ready for the following day.

stuff here as in, boil the bottles 
(yes, i still boil- i dont use any special tablets or fancy cookware to do this. 
courtesy of my mother. old school way is the best way, i think)

pack their bags (niece has kindergarten and nephew is sent to the nanny's house).

niece only 1 bag with at least 3 sets of clothes, a bottle + formula, soap, towel

nephew 2 bags.
first bag with at least 4 sets of clothes, 10 x pampers, lotion, baby oil and minyak telon. 
second bag with bottles and 2 milk formulas. we mix.

if i'm naughty i'll watch tv

if i'm nice, i go to bed after a good hot shower

by the time my head reaches the pillow, i'm gone.
provided my nephew has already slept.

otherwise, i have to make sure he sleeps first or we'll somehow sleep together or i'll fell asleep for a split second or two and oh, you know how that goes when you're tired, swamped.

then nephew will get up at about 5 am and i give him his milk and then i fell asleep again.

i should just stay awake but somehow sleep has gotten the best of me 
and i wake up again at 6.30 or 6.45 am. 

then all kelam kabut!

got to bathe my niece, make here her morning milk, she dresses herself so that saves me about 3 minutes of time, ha ha.

bathe my nephew, dress him, make him his other morning milk and make sure he drinks it.
he sometimes doesnt drink the milk until 8 am. ngada-ngada! :P
ye la, kalau suruh pegang botol sendiri tak nak minum, kalau orang pegangkan minum pulak.

then i'm late for work. 

i explained to my boss so he's okay with it. 
so lucky part 1, alhamdulillah

my actual working hours is, unofficially, at 8.30 am, onwards, 
when we should actually start at 8am.

finish work at 5.30-ish, or 6 plus-ish. 

drive back, pick up my son at school, pick up my nephew at the nanny's house. 

spoon feed my nephew, play with him, i get my daughter to help with this as well. hehehe. mak pun join in. mana larat nak jaga dia sorang sorang wei! 
so lucky part 2, alhamdulillah

make milk for niece and nephew. 
sleep. 

and the whole routine starts again and again and again..

i am so so so sure some of you has a lot of other things to do than what i've described here.
if you noticed, i didnt mention cook or buy food for dinner or something similar coz i dont.
you must think i'm lucky for not having to do this. 

so I am! for now! 
so lucky part 3, alhamdulillah

not for long tho, coz we're planning to move to our own place.
soon!

i should cherish the amount of sleep m getting now right..

when i moved into my own crib.. i will have more things to do.

like clean the house! 

and maybe....

cook!


oh no!!

fatty bom bom..

m nampak berisi laa.


kalau berisi yang ada isi takpe gak kan..
