    Thanks for the feedback! I was hesitant to mix the sultanas and pineapple at first but decided to be adventurous and was glad the risk paid off 🙂 Hopefully you will have yummy muffins, too! I also noticed that the pineapple bits helped moisten the muffins and worked well with wholemeal since it can be dry.

    • Sounds good! I’d never thought about the possibility of combining pineapple, but sounds (and looks) good! I have to try your recipe.

    Yeah. I actually learned about agar agar thru a TV show but never used it until my son is born. I am still a bit biased with gelatin since I grew up eating it but would not mind using it for snacks because of the price.

    HAHA, I think aloe vera-based products are really nice on the skin, especially if you live in warmer countries. During summer, I can’t be bothered using oil-based skincare. It is just too sticky!

    Actually, after you take the cookies out of the oven, the chocolate chip softens and becomes a bit gooey. It goes back to semi-hard after cooling so that’s why you think it didn’t melt during baking 🙂 I do hope you can! I am not sure if they deliver worldwide because it is a UK/Irish grocery.

    Another day, another skincare box, LOL! I think I shared with you about the amazing skincare website, Jolse, I keep buying products from. It is highly addicting to drop by their website but if you are looking for […]

    • t is amazing Facial Mask ever…………………….
      This is my 2nd purchasing ‘ATRUE Real Black Tea True Active Mask’ at jolse site and I am using 1time per a week together with ‘ATRUE Real Black Tea True Active Essence’. Everyday using True Active Essecne makes my skin shiny and brightening and 1time using True Active Mask gives more effective and intensive result to my skin. Getting younger and healthier !

      This is a topic near and dear to my heart, because while I am a rapid and joyful consumer of skincare, I’m also fanatical about organization and planning, comparing costs, and hunting down deals.

      I’ve developed a system and approach that lets me balance how much product my skin can realistically use vs my thirst for new products, and all without negatively impacting our finances. However, I think sometimes this cognizant and deliberate approach is easily overlooked when people are eyeballing sparkling hoards of hauls and sprawling towers of product.

      As strange as it may sound, skincare is most definitely a hobby for me and it’s something I actively enjoy and indulge myself in for a few hours every day. That is not restricted to applying skincare, mind you, although I do have a pretty serious lineup of products available for use. It includes: reading blogs, browsing new additions to seller sites,

      participating in online community discussions, socializing with other Asian beauty product fans, chatting with fellow bloggers, researching ingredients, interacting on social media, replying to comments, messages, and emails, comparison shopping, updating my spreadsheet, building ‘someday’ wishlists, even learning Korean!

    @ruby3881: I think it was an accidental strategy, to be honest. I have a number of products that I use and since I recently discovered Asian (Korean) skincare, received tons of samples to try! I love to write about other topics such as parenting, SEO, and travel but I reserve those topics for my clients thru Upwork 🙂
