this is another CP soap, so i gotta wait at least  for 4 weeks..

yes, i dont intend to wait more than that, i dont care

i should but i wont..
i dont have the patience to wait any time longer than 4 weeks..

i tried to do many different swirls on this but in the end this is it..


colour is more profound in this pic (top)

5th CP!!


Assalamualaikum,

please feast your eyes on my 5th CP soap.

i wanted it to look different from the previous soaps so its stripey!!

this one is Canola Oil, Olive Oil, Palm Oil, Sunflower Oil, Coconut Oil, Coconut Milk, NaOH, Grounded Almonds, Turmeric Powder, Activated Carbon Powder, Patchouli Essential Oil, Black Pepper Essential Oil & Sweet Orange Essential Oil..

top pix: this was after the pour..


this was when i tried to do some pattern on top!


this is a very nice view from the side.. 

well, i loike!!


this is, obviously, the top view..

boleh laa..


cut bars..

as you can see the farthest one on the left is the biggest size.. 

i wanted to have 8 bars but somehow i ended with 6+ 1 giant!!


you can see the grounded almonds, not so grounded actually.. 
did end up with some slightly chunky pieces.. but this chunky is still not that chunky but still chunky, get me?


different design on each bar ... =)


not so bad size too  =)


had some problem 

see the colour..
got white stuff on it.

maybe ash..

because I didnt cover it? maybe?


my standard way of arranging soap (blurry pic)


top view..


stacked view


more stacked view..


serious white problem


very serious..

sigh..

chao chao!!

forgive and forget? =)

as-salam.

i sent this to my colleagues.

yes, work colleagues..  =)

so, read this as you'd read an email k.

................................................................

as-salam,

hi,  =)

dear lovelies..

this is not a spam mail nor a scam mail =)
nor is it anything related to work, not directly though..
please just spend 50 seconds reading this.. (i timed it, okay. it was 52.35 secs.)

it might even cheer you up!

please...O_O
(if only i can do the 'Puss in Boots' sad@persuasive eyes)

and if you think you are mistakenly added to the distribution list, you are sooo wrong!


...

you know when you have those days when you feel down and gloomy
and you feel as if the world is on to you for no reason...
(thus the grey font colour)


no?

:(

then its just me..  :P

well, its not today..
today i am as cheerful as i can be, if you dont mess with me!  ha ha
plus the fact that it's a flyyyyyyyday!!!

o come on, Fri-Day? with the happy slang Fly-Day!

that melancholic @ depressing feeling came a couple of days back..
i felt so guilty... maybe because i was dissing you behind your back! hehehe
you  know.... like talking about you in a negative way..........behind you..  0_o


so here i am seeking for your forgiveness for all the bad things i've said or done,
in front of you or behind you, that i realise or dont realise,

because most of the time i love to blurt out things without thinking.
that is my specialty. (applause applause)


so, i hope you'd click reply and tell me i'm forgiven and all is well.

otherwise, i'd be dissing you more and i'd be sending you more emails..
and you'd have to relent and say, "Yes, I forgive you" without having to cross your fingers behind your back!


oh, btw, you cant block me. this is the company's email add.
MUAHAHAHAHAHA! (evil laugh)
joking joking. please dont report me k.

i'm having fun making people angry at work and i'd like to maintain it that way.

so, please be patient with me and my mood swings cause you'll see a lot more of that, like, forever!
if we maintain to be BFF's (Best Friend Forever)!!

wanna be my BFF? add me on FB!
i dont Tweet, maybe once in a blue moon, too difficult doing that at work.
PM me for my FB id ;)

Need Fat-Burning Tips!

Salam,

m dok cuba kurangkan berat badan m.

i have tried puasa.
i have tried and still trying to have less carbs..
i tried, on and off, exercising. by this i meant walking not jogging, not running nor swimming.

it was easier in my younger years.
i was active, mostly at night, 'dancing the night away'
it was so much easier then..

now, no dancing. period. zero activity.

so fats are like my closest friends now.
and i've got lumps to prove it!
but i shan't strut and show it to you. 
not a heavenly sight.
:p

i love walking. 
i dont mind walking a longer distance to enter a mall than having to go in circles and 
wait for a shopper to leave just to get a parking spot in front of the entrance! 
tedious!
menyusahkan diri pada awal dan menyenangkan kemudian, i know
but the wait, the prowl, the patience that i dont have!
i dont like!
walking is better! most definitely!

i dont like jogging. 
letih laaa.. 
perhaps because its not interesting

dancing is. 
i know. 
i should take up a dance class. 

i should take up my pole class again, i know. 
wait till i have money to buy myself a pole. hehehe

i always talk about money, coz i'm not good in budgeting

i always change topic.  
or add topic to another
because everything is interesting
dont you think so? 
rhetorical, dont answer that. please. no! dont!

but if i had a pole, would i use it daily?
or macam biasa, 
jadi hangat-hangat tahi ayam je?

its a good workout regime you know, the pole.
you use your hands and your tummy and your thighs, 
the best workout for the most difficult places. 
MY most fat-difficult places!
and i took it for a very short time only! uwaaaaaa!!

let's learn to save some money.

for my retirement years..

and to buy my pole!!!!!

chao!


Soap, with scent..

salam

i havent made any new soaps and before i say i need to make one soon....
i know, i had a post before saying the same thing.

m nak buat tapi macam tak complete je soap without a perfume.

i want a complete soap, with perfume.

with a smell that lingers on your body, at least for 2-3 minutes after your shower..
or
after you've scrubbed dry with a towel, you can still smell the scent on your skin!

i went out and searched for essential oils yesterday.. 
i found out that some are really cheap and some are very expensive. 
i assumed because the process of obtaining them is tedious/difficult/plain test-your-patience kinda process.
and also because some are the 'base' and some are just 'top' notes.

'base' notes are the ones that holds the smell together and you can smell it forever and ever!
meaning: the scent stays longer than the 'middle' or 'top' notes.
these are expensive oils!

but i can get it real cheap!!
at RM 19.90 per bottle (without discount mind you). 
so you can imagine the price with a discount. 

wow, there goes my budget! 

you tend to.. 
sorry...
I tend to buy more when it costs less.. 
same right?  you too... haha!

example: patchouli, a base note.
i can get it at RM 30 per bottle under brand A 
and brand B sells it at a hundred
or was it more?

point is, i need to know whether the RM 30 is of the same quality as the RM 100. 

how will i know?

....
....

well, i just googled.
there is a possibility that the RM 30 is not of a good quality than the RM 100. 
in this case - OBVIOUSLY!!
price does not determine quality, in some cases.
EO, i guess, is a special case. 
the price does determine quality..

sigh

well, i dont know how that particular company made the EO.
did they use fresh herbs/flowers or 
did they use old rotting dry ones?

how would i know? 
buy different brands of EO and test it on my soaps directly? 

??

well, that is the only way i could think of now.

fine.

maybe i'll just do that.
lets just hope i dont have breakouts!

chao!



Same but thicker with Almonds as a sCrUbBy!

Salam,

Feast your eyes..
sabun ni sama cam the last one but i cut it thicker.
and i mixed almonds kat dalam sabun instead of tabur kat atas.
ada serbuk kunyit, 
serbuk charcoal ke carbon. m dah confused.
ada cili kering blend, ada serbuk kayu manis.


see the colours!!


the texture for the top..


i only have 4 double bars left.
gave one to my aunty.
one to my cousin and
i was supposed to give one to an old friend.
have not had the time to do so yet.

the top texture, i used the back of a spoon. i like!


the soap is still soft.
i added a lot of water when i was melting it.
i dont like grating soap.
but you got to do what you got to do!

havent used it yet.
it is going to turn mushy in my hand even after the first use,
guaranteed.
like the sister soap.
but the almonds will feel like a scrub, hopefully =)
i like scrubby soaps!


tau. sabun ni panjang sangat kan..
nanti potong dua k.

Gambar Sabun Ilang!!

Salam,

m tangkap gambar sabun harini.
sabun yang digrate tu.. 
kan m ada tangkap gambar dan upload sebelum ni. 
yang banyak kaler tu..

well, anyway, that was the first half.  
i mixed the second half of the grated soap and made the same one but instead of just tabur the almonds on top, 
m mixed it inside the soap. 
ala-ala effect scrub gitu.

as i was about to transfer the pictures over to the pc,
i found that my folder of all my handmade soaps dah ilang. 
i searched almost everywhere, at least kat dalam sume folder yang m tau but it was gone!!!

i dont remember ever deleting any of it.
i clicked search pun takde.

tapi alhamdulillah m dah upload gambar dlm blog, 
walaupun bukan semua tp adalah jugak sebagai kenang-kenangan. 

:(
