Do You Wash Your Grocery Bags?


You go to the grocery store. You then proceed to the place where they keep the trolleys and baskets. You select the cleanest trolley/basket. (That's what you think!) And then you place your groceries into the trolley/basket.

Once you're done selecting your groceries, you head to the counter. You place your groceries on the counter before they are placed into your grocery bags.

You go home and then keep your groceries in the fridge.

You repeat this same routine every time you do your groceries.

Do you ever wonder what kind of germs your grocery bags are harbouring?

Have you seen parents placing their kids in the trolleys? I've even witnessed parents placing their toddlers in the baskets! Just think of where their shoes have been! Public toilets, eateries, the roadside.

And there are those who place raw food with their juices dripping out from the packaging into the trolley/basket.

And then you place your groceries in them!

And in they go into your grocery bags after payment.

And then there are people who mix their raw food with their fruits and vegetables when placing into the grocery bags! That's a NO!

I wash my grocery bags as often as I can. I even wipe clean every single thing I buy home before placing them in the fridge or pantry. I'm sure the cockroaches, lizards and rats are having parties once the store closes for the night.

Don't believe me?

And if you're not bothered to wash your reusable bags once you've read the links, I've got nothing else to say.

And then you wonder why you're shitting your entrails out....

Keep Calm 2018!

The year 2017 seems to have passed by like a Ferrari in a F1 race. It travelled so fast like a speeding bullet that it left many scrambling to see what had flown past right in front of them. It left many grasping at the wind with perplexity and much regret. Many bemoaned if only they had more time. If only they could turn back time.

(cue Cher's "If I Could Turn Back Time")

If only, if only, if only...

So what shall we do about 2018?

1. Do Something!

Do something. Anything. Don't just let IA ruin and rule your life! Even a 1-minute walk will do you good for starters. Or a 5-minute meditation to help you keep calm. Or some arts and crafts. Read more books. Write poetry. Play Sudoku. Conquer Mount Himalaya in your mind. Play a musical instrument. Listen to music. Listen to MORE music.

2. Try Something New!


What would you like to do in 2018 which you've never done in 2017 but had wanted to do so? (Something that doesn't jeopardizes your health!) Just Do It!

3. Eat Healthy & Move That Bum!
Eat food that your system is able to accept. On top of that, have some movement. Walking about in your house is a good start.

4. Say No to Sugar!

Try eliminating sugar from your diet. You'll see a huge change in your health.

5. Stay Happy

Happiness = Healthy Mind & Soul = Healthy Body!

6. Just Fake It!


The mind is a powerful weapon! So by believing in yourself, YOU can make it happen in 2018.

7. Relax! Enjoy Life!


Life is too short to not enjoy. Enjoy in whatever ways you can. It can be just relaxing on your couch and listening to music. Or you can enjoy the silence. Learn to relax and enjoy the fruits of your labour.

8. No Means No!

Learn to say NO when you're not able to help others and YOURSELF. Sometimes you have to say no even to yourself. You know, when you want to indulge in forbidden food that you know you won't be able to survive. NO!

9. No Junk Food!

That includes junk food for the soul too. Such as mindless and aimless time wasted trolling on social media reading, liking and spreading fake news.

10. You Can Do Better!
Last but not least:

11.

Product Review (4) - Nellie's All-Natural Laundry Soda



One blue scoop is all you need.

When I got my front loading HE washing machine, I had to look everywhere for a laundry detergent which was not perfumed AND suitable for my HE washing machine. The one that I had been using wasn't suitable for the HE machine. It foamed up to the point that it almost overflowed out from every outlet of the machine.



I found Nellie's All-Natural Laundry Soda at ACE Hardware for RM109+. It can wash 100 loads. 1 load is RM1.09. I think that is reasonable. And the clothes have no fragrance at all.

The ingredients are coconut oil based surfactants, sodium carbonate (soda ash), sodium metasilicate, fatty alcohol ethoxylate and sodium chloride.

Like I said, when I find something suitable, the universe will go all out against me. ACE Hardware has discontinued importing this product. All their old stocks are sold at 50%. I went to whatever outlets that still had this product and bought it all. That will at least give me some time to look for a new one.

Verdict: It has no smell, no foam - perfect for a HE washing machine.
