when normal routine just don't cut it.

yes. i'm very obsessed these days. to the point of going beserk if i couldnt figure out how.

How to get that smooth, scale-free skin.

now i'm still hunting, for a good body scrub that doesnt dry your skin. ones that i tried were either too drying or has not as much of the grainy bits as i like. a loofah or sponge just dont cut it. not enough ok. but no, i don't have OCD, or else i (and the whole house) will be sqeeeeaky clean.

cakap pasal tonyoh2 ni, semalam punya la beriya tonyoh kaki dgn pumice block, sental punya sental, tersental ibu jari (tangan) sendiri.

hambik ko. pastu melolong bila jari tu terkena sambal ayam penyet.

padan muka.

this, on one hand sound sooo yummeh, but on the other hand, its ridiculously expensive.pic from Soap 'n Sorbet

from the looks of it, it can be emulated. you can choose either you want a salt scrub or a sugar scrub and start from there. a few homemade scrub recipe that caught my eye:

Honey Almond Scrub

  • 2 Tbsp almond
  • 2 tsp milk
  • 1/2 tsp flour
  • 1/2 tsp honey

Applelicious Scrub Recipe

1 apple, pureed
2 tbs. dark brown sugar
1 tbs Olive oil

"Olive you, honey!" body scrub (from bellasugar.com)

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 4 tbsp. honey
  • 2 tbsp. cinnamon


sounds delish, aint it? some of you artsy people might even make them as a DIY gift! oh wow! seronok nya kalau dapat! (bukannya nak buat sendiri. heh)

while i'm at it, the domestic guru, Martha Stewart has a page for this, and here's another link for DIY body scrub basics at myinspirationlounge.squarespace.com.

macam masak-masak lah. happy trying!
