Where to buy Castile Soap online and in Singapore

Recently, natural soap such as castile soap are getting more popular as consumers shy away from conventional soaps and shampoos due to the following perceptions:

1. Many chemicals used in conventional soaps and shampoos today.
2. Parabens, a chemical commonly used as preservatives in conventional soaps and shampoos are absorbed through the skin which is bad for the tissue and cell
3. Hormones and antibiotics used in cow farms may end up in the FATs of the animal, which is then used to make tallow found in most commercial soaps.
4. Soaps with tallow (from beef fat) may create a rich lather and a smooth feel at first, but will leave the skin dry afterwards without moisturizing deep within.

Conventional Soap Alternatives:

Non-Soap Cleansers
Non-soap cleansers such as Cetaphil are often recommended by Dermatologists because they do not contain any kind of soap that could irritate sensitive skin. Cetaphil, or its generic counterpart, has a thick consistency and is Fragrance-free. You can buy Cetaphil in most drugstores.

Glycerin Soap
Glycerin is a gentle soap are widely sold in grocery and specialty stores. However, according to the Environmental Working Group, glycerin may be derived from animal sources and also contain petroleum products. Petroleum by-products can cause skin irritation in sensitive users.


Castile Soap:  What is Castile Soap?

It is named after Castile in Spain, a region renowned for its olive oil. Castile bar soap was traditionally made with olive oil and animal fat. Today, solid and liquid Castile soaps are made with vegetable oils like palm, coconut, hemp, jojoba, and olive.


Castile Soap Making Process

To make liquid castile soap, three main ingredients − water, olive oil, and potassium hydroxide − are used.

To make solid bar soap, sodium hydroxide is used to saponify the oils.


About Dr. Bronner's Castile Soaps

Dr. Bronner’s is one of the most popular Castile soaps in the market today. Dr. Bronner’s Castile Liquid and Bar Soaps are both pure-castile and they are all vegetable oil-based.


Other popular Castile Soaps on the market

• Dr Woods Castile Soap
• Desert-Essence-Castile-Liquid-Soap
• Kirk-s-Original-Coco-Castile-Bar-Soap
• Mill-Creek-Old-Fashioned-Pure-Castile-Soap

 
Where to buy Castile Soaps locally in Singapore

As consumers getting more aware about the goodness of Castile Soaps in Singapore, several organic shops have started selling them. But however the price of Castile soaps are much higher in Singapore than overseas. One way to get cheaper priced Castile Soaps locally is to buy from online stores in the USA which offer free worldwide delivery. Our favorite online organic shop is iHerb USA which offer free delivery via Singpost for orders above US$40.

Why collagen supplement and where to buy collagen drink

As women of today become more aware of their appearance and start taking care of their skin, collagen drink are getting more and more popular in Asia countries like China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, etc. This is especially true in Singapore, where you can found many brand of collagen drinks or supplement which are selling in the department stores or speciality stores.

So which collagen drink is the best?

Among the best collagen supplements found in Singapore, there are the most popular ones:

Kinohimitsu J’pan Beauty Drink
Inner Radiance Collagen drink
Meiji Amino Collagen
DHC Collagen Beauty
Laneige Collagen Drink
BRAND'S InnerShine Marine Collagen Essence Strip

So what exactly collagen and why it is so good for our skin?

Collagen is a type of protein and it works with keratin to give the skin strength, smoothness, elasticity and resilience. When you are young, you have an abundance of collagen in your body, which is why young people and children have such healthy shiny hair and smooth flawless skin. It is referred to, as the cement which holds everything together. Btw, collagen actually comes from a Greek word which mean "glue". As you age collagen production declines and weakening of the skin occurs which causes your skin to wrinkles.

So in summary, collagen plays a major role in giving you healthy skin, hair and nails, as well as protects your joints and bones. Because the amount of collagen in our bodies decreases from the age of 25,  it’s crucial that you replenish your body with collagen on a regular basis to maintain that youthful look.

As mentioned earlier, if you are in Singapore, you will have no problem buying your collagen drink in Singapore shops. Depending on the brand of collagen drink you buy, it can be a costly expense as collagen need to be taken on a regular basis for it's effect to be shown on your skin.

Because of the recurring cost, looking for good and affordable collagen drink is of very important unless you belongs to the high net worth group living in Singapore.

One of the good place to shop for affordable collagen drink is iHerb which is located in the USA and ship intentionally to many countries including Singapore, Hong Kong, China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, etc.

Online Shopping for Certified Organic Foods

Customers in Singapore as well as neighbouring countries such as Malaysia, Philippines, etc are getting more and more health conscious nowadays. They are selective in the products and food they eat and use and are looking for healthier alternative such as organic products.

What is Organic?

Your food choices have a lasting effect on your family but shopping for good and safe food can be challenging with all the labels that layman cannot easily understand.
To make it simple, look for “Certified Organic” label.


Certified organic foods are produced according to government standards and commercial use of the term organic is legally restricted. Certified organic producers are also subjected to the same agricultural, food safety and other government regulations that apply.


Requirements vary from country to country but generally, organic food will need to meet at least the below requirement:

1. a set of production standards for growing, storage, processing, packaging and shipping that include:
2. avoidance of synthetic chemical inputs (e.g. fertilizer, pesticides, antibiotics, food additives, irradiation, and the use of sewage sludge)
3. avoidance of genetically modified seed or genetically modified organism (GMO)
4. use of farmland that has been free from prohibited chemical inputs for a number of years


The problem with Organic Food

Organic food looks good and sound good for your health but there is one problem - organic food usually cost more than regular food. Also depending on which parts of the world your are in, your may not be able to find a wide selection of Certified Organic Foods in your local supermarket or grocery shops.

Comparing prices of organic foods in countries such as USA, Canada, Europe, Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, China, Japan and Australia. USA has the widest selection of organic foods and the price are lower as compared to other countries.

Luckily for customer outside USA, this popular USA-based online organic shop provides worldwide shipping and for order above US$40, the shipping is free. Whether you are located in Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, etc, iHerb is a good place to buy your Certified Organic Foods online.

How to solve Sony Xperia M5 automatic shutdown problem

The love-hate relationship on Sony Xperia M5

Sony Xperia M5 armed with a Mediatek MT6795 Helio X10 cpu with 3GB RAM,
16 GB of internal storage,  micro-SD card expansion support,
is one of the best mid-range smartphone you can find in the the market today.
It's 21.2 MP front camera can rival that of many flagship smartphones.

But Sony Xperia M5 is not without flaw.

From the posting of several popular forums

https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-M5/M5-suddenly-shuts-off-every-10-minuts/td-p/1037964/page/19
http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_m5-reviews-7464.php
http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/sony-user-group-135/sony-xperia%99-m5-5124756-13.html

Users have been reporting that Sony Xperia M5 is experiencing sudden automatic shutdown.
And the phone cannot be turn on until it is connected to the usb port.

My personal experience with Sony Xperia M5 is as follows

8 Oct          - bought Sony Xperia M5 from Singtel.
16,17,18 Oct - experience 3 shutdowns and phone need to be connected to usb power to switch on
22 Oct         - sent in Sony for repair
5 Nov          - Sony replace the faulty set with a brand new set
18 Nov         - experience 1st automatic shutdown with the 2nd Sony Xperia M5
10 Dec         - 2nd automatic shutdown with the 2nd Sony Xperia M5


I believe one possible way to prevent Sony Xperia M5 automatic shutdown is
settings => power management => uncheck "queue background data"

The above setting is what I set on the Xperia M5 which may prevent the automatic shutdown from happening too frequently.

29 Jan: Latest update. This is one of the best way to prevent  automatic shutdown on Xperia M5.
 Apparently, the shutdown happen when the phone was trying to connect to the network in area where the network signal is no good. e.g. in areas like lift, underground, tunnels, MRT, etc.

So one simple solution is to turn off the mobile data. Without mobile data, you cannot surf internet, use whatapp, wechat, line, etc. But you can still receive and made phone calls, receive and send SMS.
So the trick is to turn off mobile before u turn off the screen. then u can go mrt, lift or any other danger zone of poor signal. When you reach safely zone with strong signal or when u need to use your phone, u can turn the mobile data back on.

How to fix Sony Xperia M5 automatic shutdown problem

26 Feb: It seems that the must sure way to prevent Xperia M5 from auto shutdown down is to turn the handphone network to GSM only. To turn to GSM only: go to Settings > More > Mobile networks > Preferred network type > GSM only

Why health conscious consumers are buying virgin cold-pressed coconut oil in Singapore

Coconut milk(contains mainly coconut oil) is a common ingredient in many South Asian delicacies such as Curry and Nasi Lemak. Coconut oil itself is commonly used in cooking. Although coconut oil has a high level of saturated fat content, virgin cold-pressed coconut oil has become popular as a top choice healthy cooking oil with organic and health lovers in the world, especially in countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, Russia and USA.

So, what is the difference between virgin cold-pressed coconut oil vs the common normal coconut oil?

virgin means that the oil has not been refined – a process which uses solvent

cold-pressed means that no heat is used to express the oil which help retain the natural properties of the oil

So in the nutshell, virgin cold-pressed coconut oil is perceived as more natural and organic than the common cooking oil by health conscious consumers.

Cooking oil can either be unrefined or refined

Unrefined oils are processed by cold-pressed and mechanical methods. These type of oil usually has low smoke oil point and are not suitable for frying. Most unrefined oils are typically used in salads dressing and for flavouring foods.

Refined oils uses one or more of the following refinement processes such as Distilling, Degumming, Deacidification, Bleaching, Dewaxing, Deodorizing to extract the cooking oil. These refinement process helps to produce clear cooking oil, free from rancidity and foreign matter. Refined oils has high smoke point which is suitable for cooking and frying.

To differentiate refined oils from unrefined oils is simple by looking at its color and smelling it flavor. Unrefined oils has darker color and stronger flavor while refined oil has paler color and bland flavor. For the example: Unrefined sunflower oil is light amber in color whereas refined sunflower oil is pale yellow in color.

Cooking oil intended for the health and organic food market will often be unrefined as health conscious consumer thinks that the refinement process to be unnatural and unhealthy.

Smoke point of cooking oil

One of the main critical point to consider when choosing your cooking oil is the smoke point of the oil. The smoke point of an cooking oil is the temperature at which enough volatile compounds emerge from the oil that a bluish smoke becomes clearly visible. It is therefore important to choose a cooking oil that has a high smoke point if you like to cook at high temperature such as deep frying, etc.

After examining the difference between unrefined vs refined cooking oils and the smoke point, it is not a wonder that health conscious buyers will want to buy a cooking oil which is both unrefined and has a high smoke oil.

One cooking oil which foot such criteria is the coconut oil which has a smoke point of 177°C (351°F), much higher than typical smoke point of unrefined oils.

Where to buy virgin cold-pressed coconut oil in Singapore?

Virgin cold-pressed coconut oil can be found in several health or organic shops in Singapore but the price is a bit steep. However, there is one USA online shop which sells virgin cold-pressed coconut oil at a reasonable price and most importantly, it ship intentionally. So if you are a online shopper  from Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines or any parts of the world, you can get your virgin cold- pressed coconut oil from iHerb shipped to your home country.

Answer for Primary 5 maths question which goes viral on facebook

A Primary 5 maths question put up on Facebook has gone viral, stirring a lot of debate and stumps adults.

So when is Cheryl’s birthday? Below is a step-by-step solution to this primary 5 maths question. Find out how Albert and Bernard derive at Cheryl's birthday.

The Primary 5 Question that have gone viral on facebook -- Photo: Kenneth Kong/Facebook

Step 1: Eliminate May and June

Step 1: Eliminate May and June
Reason: Albert know the month whereas Bernard know the day. Albert know Bernard doesn't know the birthday because the month is not May or June. If the month is May or June, there is a chance that Bernard will know the birthday if the day is 18 or 19.

Step 2: Eliminate 14

Step 2: Eliminate 14
Reason: Bernard know the birthday now. Remember Cheryl only told the day to Bernard. Why Bernard is able to know the birthday after eliminating May and June is the birthday day cannot be 14. If it is 14, then Bernard will have 2 choice and he will not know the birthday. So cancel both July 14 and Aug 14.

Step 3: Eliminate August

Step 3: Eliminate August
Reason: After Bernard announce he know the birthday,  Albert now also knows the birthday. Remember Cheryl told Albert the birthday month. If the month is August, Albert will not know the birthday as he will have 2 choice, Aug 15 or Aug 17. Since Albert know the birthday now. Then the birthday cannot be in August. So the only answer is July 16.

July 16 is Cheryl's Birthday!

Where to buy cheap and affordable watches in Singapore

During the 1990s in Singapore, if you want to buy cheap and affordable Casio, Seiko and Citizen watches at bargain prices, most probably you will go to the watches shops located at Albert Complex. But today, there are no longer any watches shops in Albert Complex as OG department store now occupied the whole buiding.

But don't worry, those former Albert Complex watches shop have not closed now but moved to The Bencoolen, the building opposite Albert Complex. So if you are looking for Casio, Seiko and Citizen watches at affordable prices, you can go to the watches shops in The Bencoolen.
