The Folding Machine is Our Savior

Mar 01

Now I know how can I resolve my wife’s problem to get proper with cluttered clothes. In future, our wardrobe will be full of organized clothes.

Our superheroes are: Cardboard and Duct Tape.

To see how big is magnitude of our problem, I took a picture:

That is one day worth of clothes, imagine how messed up it can be if it’s a week.

But, meh. I don’t mind my house is a mess; it doesn’t seem to matter. My life is not in danger if I have a house full with a bundle of clothes. I don’t vomit rainbow if I have an anthill of newly washed clothes. Heck, I don’t mind at all if my house is messed up like tropical rain-forest that I have to walk with my hands swing left and right.

I just can’t stand about my wife’s complaining. It’s okay, honey, you don’t need to impress me with your maid skill, trying to get everything neat around the house. Your problem is thinking too much. And my problem is not thinking at all.

This machine makes me calm and light-hearted. I can help my wife and satisfy my lazy behavior at the same time. But first I have to seek, without feeling embarrassed, a few unwanted boxes at shop lots in the neighborhood.

I can create by myself as much as 4 machines because this machine is easily hackable. Well, one for me and my wife, two for both of my kids, and see whether they want to have fun with the machine or not. Usually it takes about 2 second before they get really bored and play something more interesting. But tune in, I will log my activity with the folding machine soon.

How to get Soft & Silky Hair – Homemade Recipes

Apr 07

Although I’m wearing hijab, my hair health and beauty is still in my concerns. After analyzing which type of hair do I have, it fall under DRY HAIR category. Yes I have to admit that my hair is dry, coarse, brittle, split and frizz at the end of hairs, changing new shampoo habit, hair loss, and it become worse after I went to swimming class every weekend. Luckily I do have no dandruff problem or its a package of damaged hair and really need to treat immediately. Its like chronic disease. Can be save by a series of consistent treatments.huhu

Therefore, I asked few friends regarding tips on making my hair soft and silky besides having a half day of hair treatment at salon. Spending half day at salon to treat my hair is quite impossible with two kids who need my attentions. Homemade recipes is most preferred

Among THEIR answers:
- Use daun pandan
- Using lime
- Use mayonnaise (tip from Fasha Sandha)
- Use of tamarind (asam jawa; tip from mom-in-law)
- Do cream bath treatment
- Use hair conditioner after shampoo

tips shared from friends

Among those tips, I choose to use mayonnaise to treat my dry hair. All you need to do just smear 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise all over the hair. Leave for about 20-30 minutes. Cover your hair shower cap and rinse. or you can get other tips from below website for homemade conditioner

Website for homemade conditioner for dry hair treatments:

Note: The smell of mayonnaise is a little out of sorts, still the result was good even though only the first attempt (I’ve tried and its true, my hair soft only for first attempt, I LIKE!!!) Do at least twice a week to see the best result. If you have any tips to soften the hair, kindly drop in comment box.

Its good to have homemade recipes, because you can do it at home while juggling with your kids and home chaos.

Home Deco : DIY Frame

Aug 14

This DIY frame was inspired by IKEA.

[1] Put an empty frame on flat surface

[2] Place your choice of fabric under the frame

[3] Fold the fabric and nail it. I used small nails instead of clip with stapler. Fold and nail the fabric on the both right and left side of the frame. Ensure that you pull the fabric tightly before you nail it.

[4] After you completed nailed the fabric on right and left side of the frame, fold the fabric at the edge of the frame like you wrap the present and nail it.

Tadaaa.. Finished
