~~Review on Organic Shampoos~~

I've been having Hair loss problem since I'm in pri sch. After my first hair drop experience, it really freaked me out. And my school teachers thought i have cancer. I cant find pictures of me at that time. But i can tell you its really scary, washing my hair is a nitemare! Hair everywhere! the floor was already full of hair and it piled up to the side of the walls.

Nowadays, im very into organic products and have been searching and trying on different brands. No more commercial shampoos for me, as i can see a difference now.

First,

It cost about $39 dollars for 500ml. Have a very strong lemon grass scent. I lost quite alot of hair after every wash. So i went on to search for others.

This Egyptian Henna Shampoo cost around $26, for 325ml. It's for lifeless, fine and limp hair, and helps in doubling the volume of the hair. I can really see a difference after my first try...my hair looks more PONG! My hair dropped quite abit on my first try...maybe 30 strands?? 2nd time better....

Miessence is quite a famous brand i guess. This lemony scent shampoo cost $29 for 250ml from an organic online store, but found it at Living Pharmacy and they are selling like 7 dollars cheaper! This is another good one, my hair feel stronger during and after the wash, and it minimises my hair loss. But hair will be abit stiff after drying up.

NOTE: All these shampoos are for oily scalp and hair. (The above are my personal opinions and views only)

Organic Organic Organic!

Bought some organic stuffs from ntuc ytd nite.

Flaxseed meal

Flaxseed is very high in omega-3 essential fatty acids, they are known to lower down cholestrol, stabilizes blood sugar, lower the risk of breast, prostate, and colon cancers, and reducing the inflammation of arthritis and asthma. Sounds fantastic, so i got to try. But experts said it's still too soon to give a conclusion for the benefits of the flaxseeds, so the stated benefits may not be true. Anyway just try it! I wanna add into my juices and my salads too!

Well i tink i should have bought the golden flaxseed not brown =( I was too excited till i forgotten about it~~

Lecithin

It breaks up fats and cholesterol in the body. It is excellent for a healthy heart. It helps the body utilize vitamins A, D, E, and K and is excellent for memory, concentration, and recall. It cleanses the liver and kidneys and helps the body absorbs nutrients. Lecithin is an essential component in the cell membrane, it even helps in achieving healthy hair and skin! Mix it in your juice or just a cup of water, very convenient!

Pumpkin Seeds

It helps to prevent kidney stones, good for diabeties cos it boost the levels of insulin in the blood, lower Cholesterol and many more.



i also bought some organic Hi protein flour and wholemeal flour to make bread. and Soya beans



to make soya bean milk!


These few days I've been eating very healthy foods and last few days my blood glucose is constantly 6-7 points. BUT THIS MORNING..OH MY...IT SHOOT up to 8!!! i dont know wat happened...but i ate a bowl of salad at 10pm ytd nite..maybe bcos of that? but i only added 1 table spoon of extra virgin olive oil and a few sprays of italian dressing. I have to continue to monitor...~~



And after a day of vegggie eating day, I've lost nearly a kg. THe book that i bought previously said blood type A can eat 55% of veg, NO MEAT, NO DAIRY PRODUCTS, 5% of fish/seafood, 20% grains and breads then another 20% of fruits. So now, i limit myself to a small piece of fish twice a week. Meat maybe once a week , just a little or none. Others are all veggies and good fruits like blueberries, kiwis.

My Boyf is O type and he is luckier than me...he can take meat twice a week, hehe..but the farny ting is once can only take 60g...super small portion! and take fish thrice a week, grains/breads can only be 5% of his diet, which is really little. 75% got to be veggies and the others are fruits.



My BMI 1 month+ ago is 30.1 (Obese)and now my new BMI is 27.5 (Overweight) ! Next aim will be 25! 25 or lower will be normal. THUMBS UP!

I hope everyting will go well and smoothly. I do all these for myself and my future baby. I dont want my baby to suffer in my womb. HAHA...



this is my lunch for today...steamed broccoli with some black pepper!



Its really soft, i over steamed it...sad...ok thats all for today! ciaos...

Hihi!!

I bought this book from Whitesands popular today!

So excited! Didnt have the time to go to Kinokuniya so i went to Toa Payoh Popular, Simei Popular previously but couldnt find it, and finally! yeah! I own this book now!! Highly recommended by Rinoa from mom4moms forum (Thank you so much). I'm now really hungry for knowledge regarding health! I wanna help myself and help the others too.

This book gives all the recipes of juices to lower down BP, glucose, cholestrol and many more sickness. And give advice how to fight and prevent the scariest sickness "cancer". Professor Wu (70yrs old) was diagnosed with 3rd stage lungs cancer when he was 30 yrs old, and his doctor said it's a gone case, but...he changed his diet totally and after 9 months, CLEARED! NO more cancer calls! Amazing rite...It's worth reading! Don't you tink that he look much younger than his age??

My next book will be the "blood type eating". Although the above book do talk about this, but just briefly. So i wanna find out wat are the exact foods which are beneficial/harmful to different blood types. There are many books regarding blood type eating in the market, got to search and see which is the "best"...Any recommendations?

Ytd, I baked banana cake after work. By the time i finished baking its already 1am. Yawnzzz....

B4 baking

After 1 hr+ (the sides abit over baked, im using conventional oven, the sides will bake faster than the middle)

Very soft and Fuffy..!

Its really yummy!!! but very sinful!!!

here's the recipe for the cake.

Ingredients:
250g salted butter
337g castor sugar (I only used 200g)
4 eggs
1 tsp vanilla essence
4 tbsp milk
4 large
mashed bananas (i used 5 small ones & 4 bananas for topping)
300g plain flour (sift together with 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda and 1 tsp baking powder) (I used cake flour to have a finer texture)
Some Walnuts to sprinkle on top (didnt use this)

Method:
Cream butter and sugar
in a mixing bowl. Add in eggs, vanilla essence and milk and mix well.

Add mashed banana into the mixture and mix well. Finally add in sifted
flour and mix well.

Pour into a loaf pan (I use Pyrex baking loaf pan).

Bake in preheated oven at 160 deg C for 1 hour or until a skewer
inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. If the top layer turns
brown after 15 minutes, cover it with a piece of aluminium foil.

Cool cakes in the pan then remove. Use a sharp knife to slice and serve.

This is from moms4moms forum. I really love this forum! Thanks to Clara (Tse Teng's mum) for telling me about it!! I started to bake ever since i surf this forum. They have many fantastic tested recipes and whenever i ask questions there, all mummies are really helpful to answer my doubts.
