24-hour Soap-Log
(Good morning!)
(Sunny day!)
Hi Bboboks..
My recent morning skincare routine..
I wash my face lightly in the morning
(Avene Eau Thermale boost serum) I reach for hydrating serum during dry winter
(Estra Atobarrier 365 cream)
(Estra Regeder 365 Retinoid eye serum)
I apply eye cream on my neck too
SNP glutathione dark zero toning patch
I'm going to write down today’s to-do list
I have so much to do that if I don't write it down, I'll forget
(Going to the gym)
(Finished working out!)
Waiting to see my ortho
That’s too much, please turn it off….
Stopped by to buy some ingredients for banana pudding
Compromising with two boxes of Bebe since there’s no egg flavored cookies
Came out of shower fresh and clean
I’ve been going for protein shakes lately
but amongst all the shakes I’ve tried
I find Flymeal most delicious
I like it when the chunks are big and chewy
Going to have Poke bowl for lunch
(Salmon buckwheat noodle Poke bowl)
Been watching (or sometimes) this while eating lately
Sweet fried rolled egg
(Banana pudding recipe)
Preparing the ingredients..
I wrote the details in the description box
Start by whisking the egg yolk
Add sugar and mix altogether
and sift the cornstarch into the bowl
Warm the milk in the microwave
and pour it three separate times
Heat the liquid in medium heat and stir
It gets into a clump out of blue
so you need to stir consistently
Until the cream softens out...
Keep stirring..
If big bubbles start to form
turn the heat off and add butter
Cover with saran wrap over the surface
and cool it down in the freezer for 20 minutes
I’m going to make whipped cream while it’s cooling down
Going to whip it with sugar
Then it becomes firm like a sharp beak of an eagle
Then I’m going to sift the fluffy custard
This is a hard process that needs lots of power
This step is optional
but anyways make it soft
Now slowly add whipped cream to the custard
and mix well
The cream feels so good
One banana yields about two servings
I’m only cutting one because I’m only eating some of it
About two dollops of cream
Add the bananas and vanilla wafers
Mix well and you’re done!
Banana brûlée for decoration
Banana pudding done!
It’s my first time making this
I was worried that it wouldn’t taste good
But I keep on wanting more..!
The sweet, smooth cream
has a subtle banana scent, giving it a taste just like banana milk..
The wafers are slightly crunchy and slightly moist
The cream apparently gets better after sitting for a while
so I’m leaving it in the fridge for a day
Baking is a great arm workout..
Let me now unbox my Calico Critters
It’s a belated Christmas present for myself
The reason I grew up
I’m opening the random one first
Last time I got the alpaca
This time…
This one
or this one
Please
It’s so cute
It’s a fork
Next
Kitten on a picnic
It’s so ridiculously cute that I can’t help but chuckle
The bag opens
A bag as big as the body..
Squee
Milk bunny is too cute
Aww cutie
They’re cuter in real life
Next
Fennec fox family
Don’t need the parents!
These foxes are sooo cute
Calico critter preschoolers
Why is this bag so hard to wear?
But they’re too cute so it’s worth it..
Last up
You look happy
This is too small
My eyes are going to pop out fidgeting with these
(Making clothes for Sylvanian!)
Thought it'd be cute to make the same pyjama
so I'll make something similar to this
I bought a bunch of leftover fabric just for this
I’ve never seen pastel-tone lace before, but it’s so pretty
Let's measure the size with the tape
Nobody would make a reference to this
but I'm writing down all the sizes
I'm going to fold this half twice and cut it
And if I cut the neck line
it comes out like this
Now, let's pick the fabric
It's a denim..
but I'll go with this because it has the similar navy color
and the lace for the neck line
I also picked this
Fixing it with pins
and drawing the outline with a pen
(Kawaguchi All-seam Release Preventative) A must-have when making clothes for Sylvanian
It helps to hold threads together
and sticks them together in place if you apply it on the ends of the fabric
Changes the overall quality with just one tool!
Going to dry it for a while
I'm going to cut the back in half and glue it to finish
Fixing the laces with pin
Now sewing...
The most difficult task is done
and I'm going to sew the ends together
This is adorable
And this is how it looks when it's done
Looks like this when you flip it
Checking halfway...
The backside will have a v-neck
No big deal
Let's add the velcro
Going to cut what I need
and glue it with a superglue
Wow, it's all done!
That over-sized look is so cute
What do you think, do you think we have a matching pyjama?
I'm going to make another one for fun
Did the same pattern but shorter
I'm going to add the lace at the bottom this time
Fixing it
and sewing it front and back
Was about to make the darker side on the front
but due to poor sewing skill
I'm going to flip it and make the lighter side to come to the front
The ending method is the same as before
The neckline looked a bit tight
so I cut it slightly deeper
I'll add a ribbon here
I also made a beret
Sewing of blood, sweat and tears
If I flip this over~
I didn't expect this
I'm going to go round..
I don't think it's that bad..
(The Silvanian outfit is complete!)
Oh, so cute
It's been such a long day
I'm tired, so I'll stop here for today
(Good night, Bboboks)
