The three products I'm talking about
Legend: WRP: Will repurchase. MRP: Might repurchase. WNRP: Will NOT repurchase.
Here's my taken on each:
- Isntree Green Tea Fresh Emulsion: Retails for about Rs. 1150 but got it for about Rs. 800 (quantity of 120 ml) during sale at Maccaron. Formulated for oily skin types, this emulsion claims to control excessive sebum. Contains Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Centella Asiatica Extract, Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract, Allantoin (to name a few) that are a boon for oily skin. Has a light yellowish-brown texture and a consistency akin to COSRX Oil-free Moisturizer (but lighter than that); a gooey like texture that is really light on skin. I have been using this for two weeks and am mightily impressed by it! My skin is not longer greasy and shiny for several hours, and feels very soothing post applying. One pump is enough to cover my face and I'm pretty sure that this will last for a while. I use it during AM and PM. Really worth the investment and recommend emphatically to all with oily skin type.

- Beauty of Joseon Glow Deep Serum: Purchased for Rs. 1500 (30 ml) from Maccaron. This serum claims to possess brightening properties and work against pigmentation, being enriched with 68% rice bran water and 2% arbutin. Colorless liquid with little (rice-like) to no discernible smell. Mom (with mature and dry skin) and I have used it daily for two weeks since purchase during AM. Mom is quite happy with the results, she did notice that her skin became brighter, I too noticed the same with her. It is too premature to form an opinion on its effects on pigmentation; but mom is optimistic that this will help her with it. I too notice a subtle glow after applying this product; I have a few dark spots on my skin and will update how this product works on them. It is no doubt expensive and I wish it retailed for Rs. 900 or so. MRP if it shows more results, would also like to try TO Arbutin for the sake of comparison. Would also like to give Hada Labo a try, but its avai
When I try to plant rice, the message "this crop won't survive well outside shallow water" appears. How do I manage to plant rice?
those first 4 just get better
It had been several weeks since Norman had eaten take out from his favourite Chinese food restaurant. The restaurant was now closed due to quarantine, as were all the other local food places that would deliver. That meant that if Norman wanted to eat, he had to prepare the meal himself.
Feeling rather ambitious, Norman decided that he would attempt to make some fried rice for dinner. He looked up a recipe online and was delighted to find that he already had all the ingredients he would need to make the dish in his pantry and fridge.
To ensure he could follow the recipe, Norman watched several short videos showing how the rice should be prepared. Once he felt confident, he gathered all the items he would need and set them out on the kitchen counter. He retrieved a large wooden chopping board from the cupboard, set a sharp knife on top then placed a heavy skillet on one of the gas burners on the stove, ready to be heated. This, one of the videos explained, could be effectively used as a substitute for a traditional wok.
Attaching a freshly printed copy of the recipe to his fridge with a cat magnet, Norman checked off each of the ingredients with a red marker, and read through the instructions once more.
At the foot of the recipe weβre some helpful tips that Norman thought it would be useful to read also. The first stated that fried rice was best made with rice cooked the day before.
Norman glanced over to the pack of uncooked rice on his counter top. Sighing heavily, he popped two slices of bread into the toaster and filled a pot with water to cook eggs. Then he set about putting everything away.
Title...video link would be lovely, thank you
