1 Tip to Save Time Early Morning

Although I set my alarm to wake up really early in the morning, there were days when I overslept. When this happens, I rush like crazy. Everything becomes haywire and you can be sure it affects the rest of the day.

Why?
Because I believe that the choice of the clothes and scarf sometimes affect my mood.

If I rush in the morning, I usually don't think much about the clothes and choice of colour I choose for the day. Usually I do the obvious. I will reach out for the clothes that doesn't need ironing. Even scarf. Sadly, most of my scarves need ironing and then I will reach work past the clock-in time.

However, when I discussed with friends, they gave me an interesting idea.

Time Saving Tip

A friend usually irons her clothes for the week ahead. She decides on the weekend and spend about close to 2 hours ironing her clothes and her children's clothes. So, I thought why not try.

I lay out clothes based on the dress code for each day in the week. On Thursdays, we have to wear Batik theme clothes, on Fridays, it's either jubah or baju kurung. On Mondays, it's baju kurung. On Wednesdays, it's the gray corporate shirt. On Tuesdays, any formal clothes will do.

I will lay out clothes based on the requirements and the matching scarves (on Saturdays or Sundays). Over the weekends I spend about 45 minutes to choose and iron everything out. By doing this, I save a lot of time in the morning whenever I overslept.

Try this out and let me know whether it works for you or not.

Try and Error

This was a try and error recipe but it turns out good. I put it in the office and that evening the bottle was empty. So what did I use to make this snack?

There are cashews and walnuts which I have always used to make this snack. This time around I used pumpkin seeds. I have read a lot on pumpkin seeds and one of the benefit is it promotes hair growth. The pumpkin seeds are very crunchy after toasting it. 

I toasted all the nuts and then add milk chocolate buttons while the nuts are still warm. The chocolates melt easily. Keep stirring in a baking tin until the chocolate and nuts are well mixed. The more the chocolate, the better.

Find small cups and scoop the nuts mixed with chocolate into it. Chill for 3 minutes and store in an airtight container. This snack could last for two weeks unless someone wants to finish it in a day. Enjoy trying.
