Time to Clean My Brushes and DIY Brush Spot Cleanser

It's time for me to cleanse my brush so I might show you guys how I cleanse my brush and I also gonna show you my DIY brush spot cleanser that I use cleanse my brush after I put on my makeup. I did the thorough brush cleansing every one or two weeks depending on how dirty my brush is he he he...

Tidy Up Those Annoying Cables With DIY Cable Tie (Crochet Cable Tie)

I have this problem with gadget.. You see... I have all these stuff and all of these gadget charger and all of it just gets tangled up like crazy. I even broke one of my USB cable charger because the cable always getting tangled on my charger pouch and I kinda yank it and the cable plug fell off . Not to mention all my gadget have different plug so I tend to carry several cable for charging and add that with another earphone in it my pouch was a mess inside. I use to use one of those wire tie to tidy up my cable but I always loose them, same thing happen when I use rubber band or worse I bought several cable tie and all of them are missing now. I don't like to use that wire tie thingy or rubber band cos they look ugly but I don't want to keep buying cable tie either. So what did I do? I crochet them!! Why didn't I think about it sooner!!

I'm still experimenting so I made several kinds of cable tie. There's one with a small button clasp, one with a crochet button (a regular button is fine too BTW) and another where I sew the cable tie onto the cable itself so I won't loose it ever again!!

Recipe: My Basic Chili Seasoning (Bumbu Cabai Dasar)

Today I wanna share about my basic chilli seasoning and from my previous food posts you'll probably notice that I tend to make my cooking spicy right? Why I like mine spicy? Well I spends most of my childhood in Manado, North Sulawesi where the people there put basically chili in everything and that pretty much develops my taste buds at fiery food. I made this basic chili seasoning mostly because I don't like to cut chili every time I cook and at first I only process the chili with a handheld food processor but my mom suggest that I add salt in it to make the chili paste last longer and that's where it begin. I add garlic and shallot in the paste too for a basic cooking seasoning. This basic chili seasoning is very versatile I can add it to fried rice, noodle, stir fried and soup.

Hari ini aku mau berbagi resep untuk bumbu cabai dasar dan kalau kamu suka melihat post-post aku yang sebelumnya kamu mungkin menyadari kalau aku cenderung membuat masakanku pedas bukan? Kenapa aku suka pedas? Yah.. Aku menghabiskan sebagian besar masa kecilku di Manado, Sulawesi Utara dimana orang-orangnya hampir selalu menggunakan cabai dalam makanannya dan akhirnya mengembangkan seleraku pada segala pedas. Bumbu cabai dasar ini aku buat karena aku tidak suka memotong cabai setiap kali aku masak dan pada awalnya hanya diproses biasa dengan food processor tapi kemudian si Mama bilang kalau sebaiknya ditambahkan garam supaya cabainya lebih awet. Kemudian akhirnya aku tambahkan juga bawang putih dan bawang merah ke dalam adonan tersebut. Bumbu dasar ini sangat fleksibel dan aku biasa menambahannya ke nasi goreng, mie, tumisan dan sop.

Here's the ingredients list: | Berikut bahan-bahannya:

 - Cayenne Pepper | Cayenne Pepper

- Garlic | Bawang Putih

- Shallot | Bawang Merah

 - Salt | Garam

- Olive Oil | Minyak Zaitun

Review: Biore Make Up Remover Cleansing Oil

I've been wanting to do a review on this cleansing oil for months now but for some reason I haven't?!?!?! I kinda wonder why though cos I've been loving this baby very much and rave about it on my friends. This cleansing oil is by far my most favorite cleaning oil aside from my own DIY cleansing oil. I like em both but my DIY cleansing oil took longer to wash away while this baby is super easy to wash!! I was amaze about it the first time I try. I saw this cleansing oil before while I was looking for eye make-up remover at Guardian Pharmacy and saw Biore Eye Make-Up Remover but it was very expensive!! I mean it's more expensive than Loreal Eye Make-Up Remover which I thought was quite expensive. Sooo... I scroll around the Pharmacy and saw the Biore Make Up Remover Cleansing Oil and the product description said that it was able to remove even waterproof mascara, so I thought why not buy this one instead right? I mean it was able to remove both make-up and eye make-up at the same time, why bother go to only an eye make-up remover.

Description:
Specially-formulated to provide optimum cleansing performance on both dry and wet skin. Effectively dissolves and removes long lasting makeup, even waterproof mascara. Protective nozzle cap for easy travelling and no cotton pad required. Does not clog pores, and gentle and mild on skin. Refreshing fragrance.

How to Use:
1. Pump appropriate amount of cleansing oil onto palm and gently massage onto face to dissolve makeup.
2. Rinse thoroughly with water when makeup and facial dirt have dissolved.

Recipe: Nasi Goreng Roa

Hari ini aku mau share apa yang aku buat untuk sarapan... Apa ya??? He he he Nasi Goreng Roa!! Apa itu Roa? Roa itu adalah sejenis ikan khas Manado. Just in case you don't know I've spent about 14 years of my life in Manado. Makanya sekarang aku susah banget lepas dari segala yang pedas-pedas maupun sambal. Sampai aku SMA aku tahunya kalau makan pisang goreng, singkong goreng maupun jagung rebus tuh dimakannya pasti pakai sambal. Gara-gara ini ada kejadian yang lumayan unik waktu aku pindah ke Jember pas kelas 2 SMA. Waktu itu masih baru banget disana dan aku diajakin main ke rumah teman. Pada saat itu ibunya menghidangkan pisang goreng. Dengan innocent aku langsung nyeletuk... Sambelnya mana tante? Si tante: Hah pisang goreng kok pake sambel de? Aku: Hahh?!!??!? asdfghjkl Pisang Goreng gag pake SAMBEL ya makannya?????? Pada saat itu aku baru tau kalau di Jawa tuh pada umumnya makan Pisang Goreng tuh enggak pakai sambal dan itu adalah pengalaman culture shock aku yang pertama waktu pindah ke Jember. FYI sampai sekarang aku masih enggak bisa loh makan Pisang Goreng tanpa sambal, jadi kalau bertamu dan ada hidangan itu aku tanya aja ke yang si empunya rumah ada saos sambal apa tidak. Lalu si empunya rumah bakalan terheran-heran ngeliat aku nyocol Pisang Goreng pake saus sambal. Yahhh... Daripada gag dimakan kan jadinya kurang sopan gitu he he he... Oh dan bicara soal sambal meskipun aku suka banget dengan berbagai sambal aku sendiri gag bisa loh nyambel... Ada yang mau ngajarin gag? Errr malah ngelantur... Lanjut ke ikan Roa tadi ya... Penampakannya seperti ini...

Ikan Roa dikenal sebagai Garfish dalam bahasa Inggris dan ikan ini biasanya dijual dalam bentuk yang sudah diasapi dan jarang untuk dimakan langsung karena cukup keras. Biasanya ikan ini ditumbuk untuk dibuat menjadi abon. Nah si abon ini yang aku pake untuk nasi goreng.. Selain nasi goreng ikan roa ini juga enak banget dibuat jadi sambal roa (resep menyusul) untuk teman makan pisang goreng, singkong goreng, ubi goreng, bubur manado dan cocok juga untuk ditaburi di tumisan sayur seperti tumis kangkung, tumis tauge atau tumis buncis. Berikut penampakan abon roanya...

Recipe: Seafood Stir Fry

I don't intent to make a post about it at first but WTH there's nothing wrong in it right? Even though there's nothing really special about it but I guess I'm gonna share what I made for lunch. It's sweet corn, crab meat and shrimp stir fry.

I know it doesn't look much but I swear to to you it taste really really good!!

Haul: October 2013

After some time I finally able to gather pictures on my last October haul. I usually write a haul post at the beginning of a new month because who knows my order comes at the end of the months right? Most of the haul that I got this months are the things that I bought and also got a lot of freebies this month too!! Whoops I mean last month!!

I didn't think I got a lot of haul but when I gather all of em I know I was wrong #LOL. Oh and a side note about the freebies that I get on October is that I got most of them from my Dad when I followed him to a Dermatologist seminar. I follow him from counter to counter at the Pharma Company exhibition and loot the freebies that he got fu fu fu.... I also got sent several beauty soap from an online shop.
