Going green

Last week was spent at home. Worked from home as i was having some pain and baby's head has already engaged at W28. That's so not funny!
Whilst at home, I started on a few things...

1. Juicing
We're jucing everyday because my mom's friend is on juice and despite having cancer, she walked from GH to Grand Seasons after a chemo session. Her secret? Juicing....
So, our daily recepie is 1/2 not ripe papaya (not really green, more like green on the outside and light orang on the inside), 2 cucumber, 2 carrots, 1/2 cekak pegaga, 1/2 cekak bayam, 3 sticks celery (dark green ones, the light coloured ones on the inside doesn't count) and other fruits/vege that we fancy. I'm so loving it! Hubby (aka Mr juicer), my mom and me...we take about 2 glasses each everyday before dinner.

2. After all the juicing, we have lots of residues. What do we do? Store them in a container to make compost. Compost is great for plants & animals (if u know how to deal with it), but ours is mainly for the plants. We're still at the beginning stage and it only started to become watery about 3 days ago. That'll go very well for the plants that we've started planting. Basically, we're sticking to just raw fruits/vege to be used as compost. We do not add in fish/chicken or cooked stuff in it.

3. I started sewing...lalalala. I find that sewing makes me calm. What have I made, mostly just menstrual pads and panty liners. Its fun and addictive. over the weekend, I even took a step further as to upgrade myself from manual handsewing to using the machine. Made like 6 pads during the weekend. Now, just need to find a place to put on the snaps. Then i'll need to get volunteers to try it out...


4. I'm back to making the maid use the water from the washing machine to water the plants. Instead of the rinsing water going out the drain, we take it and water the plants & grass.
