Dear teacher,
Thank you for all the hard work, patience & understanding when educating my children.
Honestly, i know they can be a handful, opinionated and also chit-chatty as they take after me.
This is a small jar of Epsom salt SOAK, it contains one cup of Epsom Salt & essential oil
For this round - the choice of essential oil was Lemongrass.
Lemongrass is good to relief inflammation or water retention, and i especially love it after a long day of standing on my feet.
Instruction to use:
- Pour half the jar (Or entire jar) to a basin of hot-warm water
- Soak for about 20 minutes
- Rinse and you should feel refreshed.
Once again, thank you for the hardwork !
More information about essential oils can be found at my Facebook page

Of scrubs & soaks
Scrubs & Soaks
So i had the opportunity to create little jars of appreciation gifts for a function & decided on the following two items
So i had the opportunity to create little jars of appreciation gifts for a function & decided on the following two items
- Epsom Salt Soak - for the guys
- Coffee sugar scrub - for the ladies
The Epsom Salt Soak was very easy to make, simply epsom salt & drops of Peppermint.
The jar was sealed tight and while making it ~ there was a whiff of refreshing peppermint in the room. To use, simply empty half the jar into a basin of warm water and soak the feet for 20 minutes.

What are the benefits of epsom salt?
- contains magnesium sulphate
- tradtionally used to soothe tiredness and reduce swelling
- stress-buster as a warm soak always feel good
For the ladies, i decided to combine brown sugar with coffee grounds and vegetable oil. The essential oil that i selected was grapefruit & is known to reduce cellulite.
This coffee sugar scrub is not drying (due ot the vegetable oil) and exfoliates the skin - hence can be used for the face as well as the body. Small circular motion is recommended and after massaging, simply wash off with warm water.
The vegetable oil provides a moisturising layer after scruffing off the dead skin.

There are many variants to the scrubs and soaks; and i hope you enjoy doing DIY as well.

Ramadhan Kareem with ningxia red
We are just a few days from Ramadhan, then soon we will have Syawal.
While some of my family & friends are preparing for the holy month, I want to take the opportunity to wish each and everyone a smooth fasting period and May you achieve the serenity and closeness to your Creator.
On the side, here is something that might really be helpful for Ramadhan.
So, I have been consuming Ningxia red either from the 2 oz packets (super convenient) or from the cool bottle in my fridge almost daily. On days that i do remember to take it, I feel more energetic & I really think the fiber contents help my with bowel movement.
This superdrink is an antioxidant because it contains a proprietary Ningxia Red blend (Ningxia wolfberry puree, juice concentrate from blueberry, plum, cherry, Aronia, tart cherry, pomegranate) and essential oil blend of orange, grape seed extract, lemon, Yuzu, and tangerine rind oil). All those juice sourness is balanced with pectin & stevia gylcosides.
Here is a video of the Seed to Seal Promise on Ningxia Red https://vimeo.com/189797535
You may take the 2 oz packet after sahur to prep you up and energized throughout the day, and iftar a nice cool juice will help the digestives!
What's cool 30ml (1 oz) is only 23 kcal...while that GO packet with 60ml is only 46 kcal!
Selamat Menyambut
Bulan Ramadhan
Yang Mulia everyone

Sacred Seven Serum
Sacred Seven Serum - home made and consisting of 7 essential oils and rosehip oil (Carrier oil).
Effects of Sacred Seven, even without make up :D |
Elemi (Australia)
Ylang Ylang
Frankincense
Sacred Frankincense
Myrrh

Helichrysum
Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood
Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood
You may optionally use Jasmine or even Geranium if you don't have some of the ingredients.
I would normally use a 15ml dropper bottle as it will last about 3 months even if i were to use 3 drops daily for morning and also for evening.
The rosehip oil is also easily absorbed into the skin, and the scents from the essential oil is very calming.
But did you know that you can also make a face serum from existing EO in the Premium Starter Kit? There are EO that are friendly for the face such as lavender, frankincense, copaiba and even lemon (Photo sensitive use night only). And depending on the skin texture & oiliness you can choose other carrier oils.
Be assured of the ingredients in your skincare & let me know if you are keen to start using the Sacred Seven Serum.

This is me, and I take pride in sharing that I shave annually to help raise funds for children with cancer. In 2018 it was the 4th time that i shave, and i am pretty sure it wont be the last.
I’m a mother of 2 children, whom I sometimes nickname them as monsters because they can terrorise you if you get hypnotised by their words & wits. But honestly they are wonderful children, my A & B.
My husband C is supportive of my many projects - from the shaving, to scuba diving, Toastmasters, kefir & culture projects and most importantly my running adventures. My motto is Carpe Diem (seize the moment) because of various near-death experiences before & I am always a willing party to try something new with much furor and enthusiasm.
I love how essential oils have impacted our ABC life in less than a year, from emotional well being, beauty tips, good skin, household cleaning assistance & even helped me raise up my blood levels (hemoglobin) to normal levels.
I believe that by sharing how i have used the essential oils (& the other products) for a toxin-free lifestyle it will benefit you as well. It's great to be alive every single morning & I wish that you are equally as grateful to everything that life (and the universe) throws at you!
C'est la vie et tu carpe diem
