Beautiful… ermm, pizza
Boy:
w_h here, obviously. I insist that beauty blogs need food. Because food is beautiful, and if you say otherwise, you haven’t lived. Food needs to be tasted, smelt, felt and cooked (not necessarily in that order).
So my our pet project this time is PIZZA! I chose pizza because I felt like we needed to do something unique together, and pizza isn’t too difficult, with loads of potential. You can put almost anything inside, so the skies are the limit! Love it.
Besides, I really wanted her to love food more, and to do that you need to cook. She really, really can’t cook. Ignore anything she might say in response, the only thing she can cook is an omelette. And placing instant noodles with water into the microwave does not count.
I admit that I have zero experience making pizza. Apart from placing some minor toppings on top of a normal pizza pastry, I have never played with any dough (besides playdoh). Goes to show that there are some things in life, you just have to try.
To undertake this project, we purchased quite a bit of food, and a set of four pre-prepared pizza bases. That plus an array of portobello mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, olives, ham picnic bits, corn, oregano and mozarella cheese. The result?
Our leftovers. My bad, bought too much.
After 10 minutes of cooking in the oven!
End result!!! Mine are on the left, hers on the right. Yea we decided that salmon sashimi goes well with pizza, so there. The roasted chicken is missing a chicken thigh, not my fault I swear (note that the picture was taken so nicely that you probably didn’t notice the chicken placed so strategically).
Due to the obvious high amounts of left over, I decided to go big this time and try to make home-made pizza base. Did you know that yeast is impossible to find in Singapore? Managed to find one in the end at white sands, shop and save I think.
Here is our attempt to make the pizza, here’s our flour/yeast/salt/water mixture, getting beaten the crap out by yours truly =)
Admittedly, using the glass table wasn’t the best choice, but there really wasn’t anywhere else to do this.
The finished product! Kneaded the mother-father.
After half an hour of allowing it to grow, it supposed to grow to twice its size, so it became this.
Kidding. But that was a really good avocado cream dessert. The real result is less amazing (tobehonest, I’m not sure if this photo is before/after).
Being the experienced cook that I am, I bought olives with @#$%ing seeds. So I spent a good 10 minutes tearing them out of their seeds. 
The one on the left, is obviously mine, so nice and big and round. Hers was a literal square, so I helped her make it round asap.
She was making some funny face, so I had to crop it out. Her creation!
My creation. My face too hotz, need to cropz.
Final Plating, together with smoked beef and Salmon sashimi (everything goes well with salmon sashimi).
After all that, I think we had loads of fun (she might admit this grudgingly), and it was a really unique thing to do as a couple in my opinion. After three years, I hope we can come up with even more stuff to do that will drive each other crazy, but be uber fun =D
GIRL:
….yeah. I’m pretty sure that food isn’t part of beauty(since there are too many beauty products in my opinion :P) but the boy insisted, so…here we are. haha.
And we had WAY TOO MANY LEFTOVERS OK.I mean, LOOK:
And he keeps saying we’ll finish the olive oil -_-
AND. MY PIZZA WAS NOT SQUARE!!It was perfect, and then he redid it :(
But I have to say that I really enjoyed the experience, although all the mess kinda made me really jumpy, because I had this urge to keep cleaning up and I couldn’t before we were done :P
I’m keeping this short because I’m having exams now (studying is taking up a ton of my time..), but one tip? Get a kitchen with a huge empty area if you’re planning to do this. Another thing: make sure the base is really thin or it won’t be cooked properly!
The Body Shop, White Musk Sport, Hair & Body Wash
BOY:
w_h here!
Clean. Simple. Manly.
That’s what comes to mind when I think of this. Frankly speaking, the product speaks for itself. Except that I hate the word “musk”. Sounds… 1980s. When men had shoulder length hair and unshaved armpits. I prefer 2010, nicely trimmed hair with unshaved armpits (ignore the armpits please).
One bottle to settle most bathing issues! One Bottle to rule them all, One Bottle to find them, One Bottle to bring them all and in the shower bind them. After using it, hair feels great, body feels great, my stinky manly basketball sweaty feet smell AND feel awesome after using it.
The smell is really good, not as musky as the product may suggest, which I prefer. Girls, get this for your guy if he plays basketball/does dragonboating/runs track. If he doesn’t, get him a basketball, a weighing scale, a mirror BEFORE you get him this product.
GIRL:
Hello! :) I obviously don’t use this, but I love the way it makes him smell :D
Plus, it makes sure he bathes regularly! :P
TonyMoly Eggs: Blackhead Out Oil Gel and Tightening Pack
GIRL:
Ok, I first started this because the boy was testing this, and got so bloody pissed with the stupid design that he had to take a shower. that’s big news :P
Anyways. if you look at the photos, you’ll see the superbly not-travel friendly design, and how it opens. I’m pretty sure the design is meant to appeal to girls and their ‘oh that’s so cute!’ radar, but not on me. I just find it really annoying, because I feel cheated with the amount of product. Apparently, there are secret ‘plant seeds’ that you can plant after you’re done with it, and that’s why it’s that big? Whatever. waste of time.
I can’t say that I look any differently after the out oil gel, but my skin feels like velvet, so thats good :) and my blackheads look lighter :) (although blackheads were never my issue, so I wouldn’t know if it made a big difference)
The mask I didn’t really like because the shade made me look like an oompa-loopma :P Plus it smelled like paint from back in secondary school, and felt like it too. I don’t see any difference in my skin, but I liked that it didn’t make my skin super red like some masks do :)
BOY:
w_h here!
Stupid cover. Stupid stupid cover, which couldn’t be closed properly, resulting in me using a bit more strength, which caused 2 huge dollops of oil gel to fly out onto my legs (yay blackheadless legs).
Other than that, I am really ok about the product. IMO it is a bit of a function over comfort: the oil gel feels uncomfortable (I have oily skin, why add more oil to my oily face), the scrub contents seem insufficient (would love to have a good scrub with it since 3-5 mins of scrubbing time was recommended).
My nose blackheads have been the bane of my existence for a while now, so I can safely say that there is no straight miracle cure. I’ve went through quite a few types of anti-blackhead weapons (pore packs, facewash etc). This one seems, honestly, not much better. BUT this is more about patience, so I shall try out the product for a while to see if it can cure my blackheads of doom.
The tightening pack smells bad, and feels like paint on the face. Girls, tell your guy that this will be the same as applying face paint when they enter the army. 15 minutes of time, wear contacts, watch a show while his face LITERALLY shrinks. It is hard to say this product doesn’t work when you can feel it working.
