REVIEW: Thinkbaby Safe Sunscreen, SPF 50+

We are staying in Malaysia, a tropical country that the whole year long is SUMMER! Therefore, we will expose ourselves to the sunshine most of the time. I have been using sunscreen products daily especially if I have outdoor activities with my loved ones. Since my little one was born,  I only purchase Safe / Organic sunscreen products to protect my little girl's skin from the harmful UV.


Many mommies know about Thinkbaby which is a company that is always striving to provide consumers with the safest products possible. Besides their safe baby dishware, Thinkbaby also has developed a sunscreen that is a physical barrier on top of the skin and begins working immediately upon application! Please be reminded that most sunscreens on the market are full of questionable ingredients. Chemical based sunscreens have some chemicals that are able to go through the skin and into the bloodstream. We do not wish our loved ones especially baby to use something that is harmful to their body.

After reading and checking the ingredients in Thinkbaby sunscreen, I started using the Thinkbaby sunscreen on my face and body before leaving home and drive to work every morning. I feel great and satisfied with Thinkbaby sunscreen as I tested it on my sensitive skin prior applying it to my little girl. If it is passed on my sensitive skin, then it is well to baby's skin too. After using Thinkbaby sunscreen by myself one week later, I was putting Thinkbaby sunscreen on my girl last Sunday when she wanted to play in the playground, she told me that the smell is so nice! She loves it!


Unlike other sunscreen, Thinkbaby suncreen was very easy to rub in, and left hardly any whitish cast after doing so. I don't see any more whitish after applying sunscreen to my body. Surprisingly Thinkbaby sunscreen is so easy to apply and to be rub all over our body and only little greasy feel.

Thinkbaby Sunscreen uses the highest level of Zinc in their formula. It absorbs surprisingly well and does not cause that "ghosting" look of other pasty zinc formulas. When developing thinkbaby Safe Sunscreen, many benefits were added such as some of the followings:

* free from biologically harmful chemicals
* stable under sunlight
* has the highest level of water resistance as rated by the FDA
* protection for UVA and UVB
* no nano particles
* not chemical based
* no strong smell
* applies easily - a little goes a long way
* Paraben Free and PABA Free
* high Zinc content
* made in the USA

How to use:
~ should be used on children 6 months or over (and adults!)
~ shake tube before applying
~ applying 30 minutes before sun exposure will reduce "whitening"
~ avoid getting sunscreen in your eyes

布列塔尼酥餅 Galettes bretonnes 18/11/2017

I was having lunch at the Pavilion on 17/11/2017 (Friday). After meal, we had a window shopping before heading to our Spa treatments. We saw this type of cookies named "Galettes bretonnes" & it is RM2 per piece.
Last night, after dinner, I started to search recipe online and decided to make it by following the recipe by 4F COOKING HOME. But my unsalted butter only left 90g which the recipe requires 120g. Thinking to proportionate the quantity but I have forgotten and weighted the ingredients in original recipe. So, I have no choice but modify the quantities by changing the egg yolk into whole egg, wine into vanilla extract with low oil version which is suitable to toddlers too.... Phew~ luckily it was successfully baked and the taste is great!!!!!

那天在商場的烘焙店看見這個叫做『布列塔尼酥餅』的餅乾,各別包裝的,一片馬幣2塊錢。好貴吃呢!
記得之前有看見一個『布列塔尼酥餅』的食譜連接。看了食譜,冰箱裡的奶油不夠,於是想做少一點,可是健忘的我却忘了需要減少其他材料的份量。將錯就錯,把食譜略改了,變成適合我家的4歲女兒吃了!用了全蛋,有機香草精,少點油的做法,成品成功!寶貝很喜歡!
謝謝原食譜:4F COOKING HOME


布列塔尼酥餅

刷表面用:
蛋液 .......... 少許(從食譜裡的雞蛋取1湯匙)

做法:
1. 中筋麵粉、泡打粉與杏仁粉混合過篩備用。
2. 奶油、砂糖與鹽放入攪拌器攪拌,加入步驟1的粉類。
3. 加入蛋黃與蘭姆酒。
4. 拌勻即可不要攪拌過度,若奶油較軟可以保鮮膜包起,冷藏約1個小時使其充分冷卻變硬。
5. 取出麵糰以桿麵棍壓成約1cm的厚度,以環狀烤模切出形狀,刷上蛋液後以叉子劃出線條。
*如果帶著環狀烤模進入烤箱烤,要記得在內側塗上一層軟奶油。
6. 以攝氏180度烤20分鐘至上色即可。

焦糖奶油千層酥 (少甜版) Caramel Puff Pastry Biscuits

Happy weekend dear all mommies!
Hear say there is a super hot snack in Korea named Samlip Benedine "Caramel Pastry Puff Biscuits"
I found the recipe shared and feedbacks are too sweet for somebody that don't like too sweet. I have modified the recipe to make it just nice in sweetness. Oh yes! I made it! This sinful snack is truly sinful which you can't stop once you start eating!!!
My gal likes it so much. She doesn't wanna share with me when I ask for some from her. So, you can imagine how yummy is it! 😋😋😋😝😝😝

(suitable for baby above 2 years old)
(適合2歲以上的孩子)


焦糖奶油千層酥
材料:
A. 冷凍酥皮10片 (我的烤盤一盤剛好擺5片的量)

B. 蛋白糖霜:蛋白1個、糖粉60g(原食譜130g)、低筋麵粉20g、玉米粉10g(原食譜:沒有)

C.焦糖液: 細砂60克、水15克,鮮奶油50克。
[做法:使用瓦斯爐煮,鮮奶油先隔水加熱備用。細砂加水,中途不攪拌,煮至咖啡色後離火加入鮮奶油拌勻,待冷後裝入擠花袋備用 。 ]

做法:
1)取出冷凍千層酥皮,室溫稍微解凍

2)蛋白打至起泡,加入糖粉,打至無粉狀,再加入過篩的低筋麵粉打至無粉狀,裝入擠花袋

3)每塊千層酥皮切成16小塊,用叉在酥皮上紮9個洞,然後排放入烤盤。


4)把作法2的蛋白糖霜以畫螺旋的方式擠上千層酥皮,邊邊大約留0.1公分,糖霜不會流出去喔! 糖霜很自然的填滿酥皮。

5)先將烤箱預熱190度。


6)在糖霜千層酥皮上用焦糖奶油醬畫個X,難免手抖。


7)如果一次只烤1盤,烘烤約10分鐘後打開爐門,把烤盤調轉(里外對調)繼續烘烤10-15 分鐘。 (我有顧爐,畢竟每台烤箱溫度不同)

如果一次烤2盤,時間設定25分鐘,烤12分鐘後把烤盤上下對調,並將烤盤轉(里外對調)重新放入烤箱,調低烤箱溫度到160'C繼續烘烤10-15 分鐘。 

8)焦糖奶油千層酥出爐放涼後,立刻放入密封罐保存。

注意:

擠焦糖時,洞口一定要夠小,才能擠出超細線,烤出來的線條才會美!

Method
1) Remove the puff pastry from freezer, thawed slightly at room temperature.

2) Beat the egg white with electric whisk till bubbling, add in powdered sugar, beat till no lumps then add in sieved flour and continue beating for a while.  Pour the meringue into a piping bag too. set aside.

3) Use a sharp knife and dust with some flour, cut the puff pastry into 16 equally square pieces. Lay the mini puff pastry onto the baking tray which laid with baking sheet.

4) Cut a small hole to the piping bag with meringue, squeeze the sugar meringue by way to draw a spiral on the mini puff pastry (leaving about 0.1 cm at the sides to prevent excess sugar meringue flow out of the surface of the mini puff pastry.

5) Preheat the oven to 190'C now before proceed to the next step.

6) all mini puff pastry are full with sugar meringue on the surface, cut the piping bag with caramel sauce with a tiny hole and draw a "X" marking on each sugar meringue topped puff pastry. practice more will avoid shaking hand.


7) If you only bake a plate at a time, bake for about 10 minutes and then open the oven door, turn the baking tray (inside - out), return the baking tray into oven and continue baking for 10-15 minutes. 

If you bake 2 dishes at a time, set the time for 25 minutes, switch the baking tray up and down and also inside-out after baking for 12 minutes, then lower the temperature to 160'C and continue baking for 10-15 minutes. 
***(watching the oven to avoid over burnt. Different oven temperature is different)***

8) Remove the caramel puff pastry cookies out of the oven, cool down before storing in air tight container

note:
When squeezing caramel, the hole must be small enough to squeeze the ultra-fine lines, baked lines will be beautiful!
