Chinese Dinner for 1

Enjoying my Friday dinner for one at a Chinese Restaurant. I love sampling tiny dishes.

My Soap Bucket

My mom picked out this bright and cheery bucket to keep my soapmaking stuff in. I absolutely love it coz it can fit the countertop and is big enough to house everything. New year, new hobby!

Window Washers

What happened to their trolley?



Picture Frames

Custom framing costs are just ridiculous. I always try to find pre-made photo frames in the right size for my paintings. Ikea frames are really affordable and although not always in the right size, can be cleverly disguised so the onlooker won't know the difference.

This painting I bought from Prague during my last trip. It's cartoonish and quirky, the sort of picture that provokes the imagination with it's randomness.

Bath Fizzies Giveaway

Here's my second batch of homemade bath fizzies, made with edible (except maybe the epsom salts) and premium ingredients including the purest cocoa butter and unadulterated botanical essential oils. I went for apricot coloured miniature fruit shapes that will burst into bubbling, scented yet healing baths to soothe your soul.

This batch dried out perfectly and I am giving away over 50 of them as a platinum Valentine's Day present!

Just leave a comment on this post and "follow" my blog (on the right). I will randomly pick a winner on 14 Febuary 2011. Please enter, it's soo worth it even though you have to self-collect it.

Laundry Blue

I took time out today to browse through the old shophouses near my place and to my surprise, found a pack of laundry blue. 50 years ago, dhobys' (Indian Laundry) used this to whiten clothes. It stains clothes a slight blue but drys out into a crisp white. Laundry blue is no longer sold to the masses as modern cleaning products have incorporated the same properties into their laundry soap. So I am going to try it out at home.

New Year Shopping

It's the new year, so I thought I would start it with lunch and then shopping.

The malls are wide open with festive sales. I couldn't find a Bandai Bath Bomb maker but, I did find an affordable range of 100% pure essential oils from Holland & Barrett. I want the entire range... you know for reference.
