Sherilyn whipped up some yummy Korean fare for lunch and dinner today: Tteokbokki or spicy stir-fried Korean rice cakes for lunch, all made from scratch. This is not my kind of meal as I don’t like starchy food, so she added hard boiled eggs and ‘foo pei’ for me.
For dinner, she cooked ttukbaegi bulgogi (stewed beef with glass noodles), Korean steamed egg and air fried Tteok-bokki. It’s our first time using the Airbot air fryer, a recent gift from my mum, who got the air fryer free when she purchased her 3rd unit of robot vacuum cleaner.
Sherilyn needs to create a vlog as part of her X-Culture program’s requirements and her cooking adventures will be a series in the vlog.
I realized that she loves playing with dough and whipping up cream for her desserts! This tastes almost 100% like the real deal. When there’s passion and love in one’s cooking or baking, it’s all evident in the final product.
When you use cosmetics and skincare products, the chemicals are absorbed into your skin, which can then enter the bloodstream. You might also inhale powder (talc, loose powder, compact powder, etc) or ingest lip products. Certain ingredients present in makeup and other cosmetic products contain chemicals that researches have linked to serious health concerns. Some of these health concerns include:
1. cancer
2. endocrine disorders, which affect the production of hormones in the body
3. developmental delays
4. skin irritation and more.
I certainly wouldn’t mind paying a little more to buy organic and clean makeup that do not contain toxic chemicals. Some of my friends prefer to make their own skincare and makeup products with essential oils. I used to make them too but due to time constraints now, I now buy my skincare products and cosmetics. I try to buy products that are made from plant ingredients without harmful chemicals like Paraben, Triclosan, Phthalates like Dibutyl phthalate, Sodium laureth sulfate (SLS), Formaldehyde among others. As someone who loves animals, I am also a supporter of cruelty-free makeup.
