The temperature is dropping, so easy to get cold.
Please stay warm, my dear blog readers. :)
Today, we have beautiful sunshine here (oh yes!),
so I went to my backyard and harvested carrots and eggplants
before the "first day of frost" comes.
I carefully dug the dirt around the carrots
like an archaeologist doing excavation.
Holy, see what I dug out?.....
An alien carrot!!!
Planted one carrot seed and got five carrots.
Not bad, huh? ;)

Grandma's birthday is coming.
She has an antique radio which is not working well recently.
Grandma loves it very much and doesn't want to throw it away.
Her 9-year-old grandson, Daniel, decided to make her a "brand new radio", by Lego pieces.
This is the radio Daniel spent two nights to make,
and yes, grandma was tears when she saw the gift...

Still working on the deodorant experiments.
This time, I used the organic virgin coconut oil from Mountain Rose Herbs.
Oh my, the dense and intoxicating scent of pure coconut pulp
immediately takes me to paradise! LOVE it!
I tried it on myself for couple days and it works really well.
The formula effectively neutralizes underarm odor and absorbs wetness.
The best part is, the sweet coconut aroma lasts for hours! How exotic! :D :D :D

Me, an urban bumpkin, discovered one thing in my backyard today :
The skin of a cantaloupe was smooth at first.
While the melon growing bigger and bigger, its skin starts seaming with wrinkles. (!!!)

My girl friend J said these look like "Lip-Butter Army", with background music "Star Wars imperial march", what do you think? ;)
Those 100% natural herbal lip butters are now available at Anita's La La Land.

Took me whole day to make those herbal lip butters. Total 8 natural flavors, free of artificial colorants and fragrant oils. They will be available in the shop within couple days.
Recently, I purchased a bottle of organic coffee essential oil from Brazil. It smells like real thing, freshly brewed coffee, awesome! I am so excited to make new lip butter flavor with this handsome. ;)
Those natural herbal lip butters can be found at Anita's La La Land.

After weeks of experiment, and countless tests on myself,
my stinky hubby (hahaha!) and a bunch of friends,

At this stage, there is trial size available.
This mini tube is about 2.5 inches tall, holds 1/2 oz (15g) of
organic natural herbal deodorant, very cute and compact!
I am working on the labels now and hopefully
they will be launched to my soap shop soon, please stay tuned. :)

I've managed to add 100% natural fragrance to my handmade soaps and skin care products so no more artificial flavor oils nor frangrant oils that you could find in my products.
When I wanted to make floral scented soaps, I was shocked by the required amount of floral essential oils and absolutes to put in in order to keep the nice aroma longer. In other words, if I did it, those soaps would be extremely expensive because of the sky-high-cost ingredients. (I'd rather to put those precious floral oils and absolutes into our lip butters and organic face oils.)
Luckily, I've found perfect substitution from a local Canadian supplier, floral wax (yippeeeeee!). Here is the rose wax I added to my "LA VIE EN ROSE" soap that I made yesterday. Oh my, I couldn't help and kept leaning forward to sniff the exotic sweet rosy aroma. I am in heaven! ;)

My handmade soap shop, Anita's La La Land, is going to reopen on Sep/03 (fire works!). I sincerely appreciate all of your patience and support. Tomorrow, there will be new soaps available in shop. Handmade soap size has changed to chunckier bar. Each bar soap weights between 5.0oz - 5.5 oz (140g - 154g). Well, bigger is better! I hope you will like it. ;)
And, my kiss-friendly lip butters are changing over new packaging. It's waterproof now and more durable. I am trying to finish photos so I can list them out asap, please stay tuned.

ReplyDeleteTotally agree with the "after you start making soap....." illustration..., especially the "coin" part.
