First Time Kombucha Brewer

Not only Kombucha has a good health benefit but it also tastes delicious and I can drink some fizzy drink without any guilt. But to purchase shelf Kombucha kind of expensive. Imagine one bottle of this fizzy drink cost me between RM10 to RM16. Damn! That's expensive for my purse! So I decided to brew it at home. I was really nervous to do this kind of brewing at home. Who knows instead of brewing good bacteria for guts, I will end up brewing and breeding bad bacteria. Anyway, as this post was published, I was at my 3rd batch of my own homemade Kombucha. Yay! Success and still learning along the way.😍 What Do You Need To Brew Kombucha? 1. Good SCOBY with quality starter tea 2. Glass Jar 3. Tea Concentrate 4. Sugar water 5. Cotton cloth to cover 6. Patient to wait What is SCOBY? SCOBY stands for, Symbiotic  Culture Bacte...

How To DIY Scented Candle using Beewax

My first-time candle making was during one of the beauty workshops, I attended a few years back. It was so much fun but as usual time constraint during this kind of workshop. So, I don't get to enjoy it longer. They taught us to meltdown the soy wax, then mix it with essential oil and decorate with some dried flowers back then. I always wanted to try out bee wax candles making. I bought the bee wax last year. Finally, I have the courage to meltdown one on my own. I was a bit sceptical with my own ability to DIY this. hahaha... I gave this a shot, anyway! I have nothing to lose if this didn't work out. Oppssss...maybe some bee wax, my precious essential oil and time. muahahaha... I don't really use any exact measurements. Everything just as what I feel right🤭. Step 1 💮 Melt bee wax pellets.

Growing Bean Sprouts At Home

I know my sister did this during her secondary school days. as part of a science project. As far as I remember, I don't have the chance to do this during my school time.

Home DIY Facial Spa Tips with Mamonde's All New Flower Facial Mask Line

Most of us would agree that getting a facial mask treatment is pretty much one of the most relaxing experiences and the perfect remedy to rejuvenate our skin; be it after a long day at work or running errands away from home. After all, studies have claimed that taking a break from the whirlwind world and rewarding oneself including indulging in a facial spa treatment could potentially increase our overall day-to-day productivity. Nevertheless, in this hustle and bustle modern way of life we often find ourselves juggling between the hectic and busy schedules; this, coupled with the rise of living cost makes visiting the spa for a professional facial less economical, and perhaps not feasible for many of us.

Cosmoderm Luminous A Retinol Review

In general, most people are advised to start using retinol in their mid-20s. Why do we need retinol for our skin? Well, this is because collagen and elastin production starts to slow down. Adding retinol into our skincare routine at age of 25 to 30 is the perfect time to slow down the ageing process. So, what is retinol that people are hyping about? In short, retinol is a topical product containing a vitamin A derivative. Technically speaking a type of retinoid which works to increase collagen production. It helps to treat acne, and blackheads and is also ideal to improve skincare texture such as minimising fine lines, and wrinkles and brightening dull skin. Personally, I am a beginner in adding Retinol into my skincare routine. At the age of 47 years old. I guess, am afraid to start one because I read many side effects if use it wrong.  What is the side effect if you use retinol wrong?  Retinols can increase your skin's sensitivity to sunlight. So, it is advisable to apply th...
