朋友们都生小孩去了……

朋友们都生小孩去了……我还在等待。哈哈

今年是兔年，感觉上好多好多人怀孕，认识的不认识的。
碰巧的是……我和几个朋友都一起怀孕了！而且预产期都是相差一个礼拜或几天而已。很巧合哦！

一起怀孕感觉也很不错。可以互相讨论和交换资料。也比较多东西聊。
然后越来越接近预产期……朋友们都比预产期早了2~3个星期把小孩生出来了。母子平安。
想到每天公司里都见到对方的大肚子，现在看见小孩，感觉真的很特别哦！

所以啊，一起怀孕的4个人，现在剩我一个还在等待。
离我预产期还有2个星期多。就让我好好享受和小宝贝24小时在一起的时光吧！

超想要的缝纫机促销

假期顺便去逛了Harvey Norman。
结果看见我想要的缝纫机有促销。Brother NV10 原价RM1099，现在才卖RM899。好吸引人啊！
促销期是20 July 2011-20 Sept 2011。
差一点就败下去了。

可是我还没有开始缝任何东西。现在说要买实在是太早了。
况且我还可以先用我妈的缝纫机，顺便确定一下我是不是真的很喜欢手作。

不过能够拥有自己的缝纫机实在是太吸引人了。
放在网上干过瘾。有兴趣的朋友可以去看看。
希望小瓜出世后我还有时间可以开始我的手作生涯。

啃瓜子

朋友介绍绿茶口味的瓜子。
试了一次觉得还不错。去买了一罐。Jusco Queensbay里可以找到。RM8.90一罐。
香香的很好吃，一小把吃上好几分钟，当过过时间也不错。
啃开的瓜子绿茶味道不会太浓，想多尝一点绿茶味道就多舔瓜子壳几下。（哈）

第一次使用：手工香皂

上次冒出了新闻说沐浴乳有加一个叫paraben的化学物质使用久了会患乳癌。

吓死人了。这世界好像用什么都不安全了。加上我就是那种一款沐浴乳用10年的那种人，没别的，就是便宜，好用，和方便买到这三个原因。

所以看见这新闻就有点担心，想说不然换换用好了。

就联想到手工香皂。

原本是想买台湾出名的阿原，后来找找原来本地也有人做手工皂，包装也很可爱就买了。

第一次用手工皂也没什么好期待的。

只觉得新鲜感。还为此特地买了粉色的肥皂盒。（少女情怀……）

我买了身体用的《禅皂》（右边黑白色的那颗），和头发用的《浪漫茶花洗发皂》（左边紫色和白色的那颗）。

说说使用后的感受好了。

《禅皂》的味道我很喜欢！不是那种人照香精的味道，只是淡淡的，很自然的味道。尤其是最近天气燥热，加上怀孕，总觉得自己酸酸臭臭的。用了这个让人精神爽快！（因为这块皂我有比平常更勤，更爱洗澡哦！）我没有明显的皮肤问题所以不要问我有什么明显的效果哦！我只是很喜欢那个味道，也觉得除臭蛮有效的而已。不果手工皂消耗满快的，一天只用一次大概一个月就用完了。很喜欢这个皂，有机会应该会回购。

至于《浪漫茶花洗发皂》，我只能说不太适合我的头发。

洗了感觉有点涩，很难梳开。即使放了护发素也感觉好像有一层东西覆盖头发……结果我就用来洗身体了。哈哈

我习惯把肥皂切一半使用，我把另一半给了朋友，等她用了告诉我效果咯！

下次还可以再试试这家的其他手工皂。包装和产品都很不错的。

有兴趣的人可以看看。

环保布护垫

自从用了本地制的布护垫，我再接再厉的和同事合购了一堆。
这次是台湾品牌圣诞婆婆的。
听说她的布护垫好用，就买了一些。看照片就知道。这次还有优惠，买10片轻巧型布护垫还送一个舒适型护垫很家事皂。

家事皂给了同事所以不知道效果怎样。
护垫的话，我真的要说……好好穿哦！
我穿过mama patch的，感觉那个会比较厚。圣诞婆婆的会比较薄，上面一层纱布，感觉也很清爽。

我都是洗澡时用沐浴乳随便搓一搓就很干净了，不会难洗。洗了也容易干。
要说唯一的缺点大概是那层纱布洗了比较容易起毛。不过没影响到舒适感，也没有想象中那么容易破。我用了几个月，除了一点点起毛，其他的看起来都还很新。

以上都是个人的观点哦！

用了布护垫真的会对布棉棉跃跃欲试。不过那也许要等到明年了吧？

Some cute stuff from Daiso~

I bought some cute stuff in Daiso today.
These small little things gave me some shopping satisfaction :) ya right, I am a shopaholic.
I bought a pink soap container, as I always wanted to get some handmade soap to try on but I do not have a proper soap tray. :) This one look sweet and nice.
A pink container to store some sweets & candies in my office.
And a cotton label. The pattern is kind of cute. It will be used on my handmade product later. 

勇气娃娃 - The courage doll

This is my brave doll.
I carry him with me all the while.
He is like a little companion to me because i don't like to be alone.
I got him from Watson, but I still preferred to have a handmade doll which are more unique looking :)

yaya.. I know I am greedy.. never satisfied with what I am having now :P

Handmade maniac

Yes, I am crazy about handmade recently :)
That's why you see a bunch of local handmade talents' links on my blog.

All those handmade handphone pounch, tote bags, doll etc are so special and unique and I quickly fall in love with it. The fabrics they used are so so nice, and made me feel good by just looking at them :P So I decided to make that as my next hobby.

Sewing is never a new thing to me as my mom used to do a lot of sewing when I were young. So I believe I can do it because I have such a good 'sifu'. However, I can't start any handmade projects right now because my mom doesn't allow as I still in preg :(

So I decided to do some fabrics collections first, because they look so tempting.

By looking at those fabrics brighten up my day. I like the look and feel of those Japanese Linen Cotton :) It's just so zakka.
I can't wait to make something out from them :)

These are my first batch of fabrics collection.

Aren't they just lovely?

Handmade mobile hanger

The nicely sew handmade mobile hanger I found from Keller Homemade.

It comes with a special thank you note with my name on it :)

That's one of the reason why I like those handmade product, it has the personal touch.

I like her fabric book mark too, but the design that i preferred already sold out. Is alright, I'll wait for next time then :)

如何清洗Coach包包？

我手上有三个Coach包包。一个是网购的，是布面的。虽然是过时的款式但是我很喜欢。乘着老公出差美国，在美国买Coach包包便宜得让人咋舌。比在网上找人代购至少便宜一半价钱耶！不买怎么对得起自己。哈哈。硬是拗老公带几个回来。他就买了一个wristlet和手提袋回来咯！

手提袋是真牛皮。所以我本身是没什么大保养，天天提去公司半年多了，外表还是美美的。没什么差别。

反而是wristlet，金色于黑色的布料表面，被我天天带出去吃午餐。已经脏了……虽然不是脏得很明显，只是有一些脏脏的水印，而且摸起来像是有一层油油的感觉……我有一点洁癖，以前用包包总是爱洗，手洗或丢进洗衣机。去旅游回来，随身带的包包一定要洗过才收起来。实在受不了拿在手上包包油油脏脏的。所以我已经烦恼很久到底要怎样清洗我的wristlet。在网上爬了文，基本上有几种洗法：
1。这个有影片。去youtube找，那女的用清洁汽车坐垫的清洁剂，厚厚的喷一层在包包上，然后用布大力擦拭。看起来效果不错。不过我本身不太喜欢这样的化学物品，wristlet是手拿的，会不会有残留的清洁剂啊？我那着去吃饭，会不会忘了洗手不小心把清洁剂吃下去……
2。有人把包包直接丢洗衣机。我没证实过。不过这样应该会坏掉吧？
3。用洗碗精手洗。
我还听其他mm说金色的洗了会掉色。恐怖。虽然在美国买的不会太贵，但是我还是很珍惜我的包包耶……

我用的方法是第三个。

我先准备一个不要的塑胶碗，挤一点洗碗精，用水稀释，然后再找一个不要的软毛牙刷。
用牙刷蘸稀释的洗碗精水，轻轻地刷在包包的布料表层。再用水冲掉。
Coach的包包有皮革的部份要小心照顾，怕是吸了水皮革坏去。如果碰到水我就马上抹干。
里面的衬布我拖出来，用湿布抹干净。
然后拿去晾干。
我没有让包包晒太阳哦！只是放在荫凉处晾干。

效果很好，除了有些地方没刷好之外（布料湿了颜色比较深，看不到有没有脏），其他的我都很满意，有洗到的赃表面都干净了。有“新包包”的感觉。
最重要的是，包包再没有油油的触感咯！

试验成功。
大家可以试试看咯！

Gift for my friend

Few months ago I read a book title: 29 Gifts: How a Month of Giving Can Change Your Life. By Cami Walker. I read the Chinese translated version.

I like the idea of giving a gift to a person every day. He/she can be a friend, a stranger, family members it doesn’t matter. These practices will help to make ourselves giving more, rather than receive more.

That day when I was organizing my drawer, I found this book , and I think of my friend. Who is like to read on nice inspire quote. So I decided to give out this little book as a gift to my friend. Hope she likes it.

My Experience with Cloth Liners

Have you ever heard about cloth pads? What is your first impression about cloth pads?

I first came across with cloth pads when I was surfing for info about cloth diapers that I am planning to use on my baby and I found this idea of replacing disposable pads with cloth pads. As I always have the concern of where and how the disposable pads going to dispose since there are plastic covers at the back and is very environmental unfriendly.

So I decided to give it a try.... on the cloth liners first as I can't use the pads until I deliver :P

The pads is nicely packed.

I have to admit besides the environmental friendly thingy, I bought the liners based on the nice outlook too. Those pads look really attractive don't they?

I bought in pairs. Those are not water resistance so they can only be used during normal days.

My experiance with the cloth liner:
First, it is very comfortable, because it is cloth and similar material with your panty. You wouldn't notice it much after wearing for sometimes.
The absorbance is ok, as I am wearing it during normal days, it is just normal discharge.
It will stay still on your panty you don't have to worry it will move around.

However, it is of course thicker than normal disaposable panty liner. :) Not much problem for me as long as it is cotton and breathable.

Do wear a fitting panty if you are wearing the cloth pads :)

So far I am quite satisfied with it, and I will sure try the cloth pads next time when I have the chance.

Note: You can find the pads here. I bought it from mama patch.
