Most of us has her/his own comfort food, a typical food that would fix your bad hair day, makes you feel alot better after a plane flight, or simply could calm your mood when you feel like screaming your head off. well, today it's not abt my comfort food, but it's about my comfort drink hehehe..but the definition is slightly different, because I only reach this comfort drink when I feel Im in the verge of getting sick or need a boost in my immune system^^ I always feel better after I drink it!!
my Comfort Drink is so simple, Ginger boiled water!! :D I know few people are fond of ginger because of its strong taste and smell (sometimes). But it's really helpful and proven in combatting sore throat, flu, cold, stiff joint, and general body sickness. and so easy to made too, this is my dad's fave drink and Ive came to love it too! :D
here's how to make it :D you will need:
Ginger of course :D find one at least as big as your own hand (except if you have super tiny hand, then double it), if it's bigger than your hand then it's better.Peel off, sliced into big chunks, and smash it until it roughly look like the pic above
Cloves bud!! You can get this at chinese grocery or from your neighbour, since you only need a tiny bit
4 glass of water, and put everything else in. Cover it! Medium cook, wait until the water boils, open the lid, and leave it until the water boils again. takes about 15mins. There would be only abt half of water left by this time.
When you pour in a glass, you can see the water has a slight colour. Put brown sugar/palm sugar/honey if you cant take the strong taste. My fave is honey, because honey is good for health and skin!! :D
Since ginger is a natural products, Ive never heard of any allergic reaction to it, but I might be wrong :D if you feel your throat burns in exotic hotness when you first attempt to drink it, rest assured it's normal, just add more honey hehehe...
And just a quick review of this L'occatine product that I recently bought, while other products by this brand are wonderful I must say this one fails to impress me. the milk cleanser that claims to gently remove all make up (incl. eye areas) didnt do what it promises. After first wash, I could still see, particularly in eyes area, the traces of my concealer. so I did a second wash, only to find it's still there -_-"""
I need to wash again with my shiseido perfect whip to get rid of the oil residue and whatever left....
I dont think I'll buy again :(((( I had high hopes on this product so Im pretty dissapointed.
It's probably good for sensitive skin because it's very gentle (to the point that it has difficulty removing make ups lolz). I think I will use this when Im in Bangkok, coz I will wear less makeup there due to the weather
OKies...thats all for today. have a nice day everyone!! :D
