My Nail Care - ECRINAL

Hi there, 


Today I would like to share with you all, one of my favorite nail care brand and product - 
Ecrinal Nail Care from Asepta

To begin this post, let's start with picture of my poor brittle nails which is damaged from excessive Manicure. I've naturally brittle nails, which crack and splits easily. Also, I don't have the luxury of going to a nail salon weekly / monthly. Hence, with some research, I found out about this nail care series. At the time of purchase , it cost me around $80 with 4 products. 

1st Step

Apply a thin layer of ECRINAL Fortifying Cream all over your nails and your cuticles. Just a very small drop will be more then enough as the cream is really rich and can be easily spread across your nails. I normally like to leave it for 1 minute or so. On a side note, the Fortifying Cream has a very nice and light fragrance. 

2nd Step

Apply a good coat of ECRINAL Nourishing Beauty Mask over your nails without washing or wiping off the Fortifying Cream. The Mask will dry pretty quickly, but I normally leave it on for at least 10 - 15 minutes for my nails for better results. The mask itself have a rather rubbery texture and have a light and pleasant fragrance as well. You should be to peel off the mask rather easily as shown in the pictures below. 

Do note that, it is necessary to apply the Fortifying Cream before applying the Nourishing Beauty Mask. If not, the mask will stick to your nails and makes it fairly difficult to remove.

3rd Step

Apply a ECRINAL Vitamin Nail Strengthener all over your nails and cuticles. It should dry up pretty quickly giving your nails a natural shine. If you have nail polish on and still want to care for your nails, you can try applying this to the bottom of your nails or around your cuticles. 

Last Step (Optional) 

Apply the ECRINAL Base coat to protect your nails from scratches. I prefers to leave out the last step and let my nails breathe for least 3 days before any manicure. 

With prolong usage, this product can help to strengthen and keep your nails healthy.

Do leave your comments on your staple nail care or feel free to drop me any questions in the cbox beside my blog. 

Thanks for reading and have a fabulous day! :)

MONSTER COOKIE!

Konichiwa Mina san!

Today I would like to share with you a simple MONSTER COOKIE recipe that anyone can do!

But firstly, sneak preview of how the final product looks like:

What the colour of your dough should look like before baking:
Note: I've already decorated my cookie with M&M's and chocolate chips.

How the cookie look like after baking: 

Note: This is my first attempt at this and sadly the M&M's cracked due to the heat and sort of destroyed the design of my cookie.

More photograph of the cookies. And yes, it does spell F.U.C.K. The "artistic" creation of my sister, who insisted on doing this. It was quite amusing when she goes around announcing "I'm eating the F. Cookie"

 Lastly, you can also pack the cookie is a nice bag and give it to your love ones! Do note to pack the cookie in a nice transparent plastic bag to keep the packaging nice and fresh as the cookie can get a little oily.

Now! It's recipe time. :)

To make things easier, I'll list on the ingredients and provided a dummy proof step by step guide as below:

MONSTER COOKIE'S INGREDIENTS:

No.	Amount	Ingredient
1.	75g	Butter
2.	130 to 150g	White Sugar (People who don't really like very sweet cookie, it's recommended to use 130g. I've used 150g and it's a tab sweet)
3.	150g	Flour
4.	75g	Chocolate chips (For chocolate lovers, you may want to add more)
5.	75g	Skippy's Peanut Butter WITHOUT chunks
6.	75g	M&M's (If you're concern about the cracked M&M's then it's recommended to skip this)
7.	1.5 Tea Spoon	Baking Soda
8.	0.5 Tea Spoon	Vanilla Extract
9.	1	Egg
With this, you will be able to make around 12-15 pieces of cookies measuring 3 inches wide.

STEPS:

1. Measure and have all the ingredients ready
2. Melt Butter with small fire until it's in a complete liquid state and let cool till it's about room temperature
3. Beat Egg till fluffy
4. Mix and beat the Cooled butter mixture, Sugar and Vanilla Extract till fluffy
5. Add Egg and Peanut butter to the mixture and mix well
6. Add in Chocolate chips and Baking soda
7. Lastly, add in 1/3 of the Flour into the mixture and mix well.
*If you add in all the flour in a go, it's more prompt to forming lumps of flour in the mixture and trust me it don't look / taste very good
8. Continue to slowly add in remaining Flour to the mixture
9. Preheat oven to 170 Degree Celsius and wait for 3 minutes for the Oven to heat up.
10. Bake the cookies for 15 - 18 minutes
11. Enjoy your cookies!! :)
