Reading Cookie Labels


Do you read labels when you shop for your groceries? I don’t know where I learned this but it is definitely from a book that I read (I can’t remember which book).



Nowadays I don’t buy many things off the shelves because there are too many unknown ingredients in them.



I bought this box of crackers mainly because of the imprints “Multigrain cracker”- I am always into healthy biscuits.
I think this biscuits have less unknown ingredients as compared to others. And it is not too sweet too.







But I wonder what is this Ammonium Bicarbonate (E503) ? I found out from Google search that it is actually commercial salt. My thought was, was it harmful? According to this website it is safe.





I’ve tried this biscuit from Mcvitie’s too. They are yummy but a bit too sweet for my liking. The good thing is they have a more detailed ingredients. They will tell you how much percentage of rolled oats and whole wheat flour they used in their biscuits.




Sorry….was thinking of taking pictures on the looks of those biscuits but I have already finished them all. None is left! :p

Reusing Envelopes?


I haven’t sort out my mails for 6 months now. You must have imagined I have tonnes of mails pilling up the roof but instead it is just way below 20 mails. I’ve got to tell you that being at home and working online, I rarely get snail mails anymore but I do get more from emails. Times have really changed and we can get our mails at a faster rate. I am grateful for that!


So, last Saturday was the day I sort out all my mails since my husband is not around and I can actually let my son play with the letters; taking out the letters from the envelopes for me. After sorting out the letters, for a second I was thinking what can I do with the entire empty envelopes. Can I reuse it?

These are some of the ideas I could think of:


1) to put spare keys inside and labeled it

2) to stash my weekend grocery money so that I don’t overspend

3) to organize photos in envelopes to be given to family and friends

4) repaint it and slip a home made birthday card in it

5) to collect things like a cut-out magazine pictures

6) store “kacang putih” heheheh…a bit unhygienic don’t you think?

7) Store sanitary pads…hmmmm



Anymore ideas? You tell me…..
