Attended Perfume & Candle Making workshop today.
Basically, we have learnt how to make perfumes and candles which is so interesting!
Theory was good, should not elaborate much on that.
But when it comes to practical, I think I am so so so silly please!
It was smooth during the first part of the practical experiment for making candles.
While the candle wax is boiling and when it reaches 50 degree, I added in wax dye and stir it.
I am helping yh to hold the beaker, and he will be stirring the wax and dye together.
A moment later, Cassandra talk to me, I turned behind and not paying attention of what I am doing, then suddenly......
The whole beaker broke, all the hot water spills, what is left is broken pieces of glass and water.
I feel so sorry because I drag my partner down as his facial expression tells me that he is unhappy about me!
We had to restart everything again, but thankfully amalina's group is redoing too.
So at least there's someone to accompany us.
Get so freaked out lah, especially when I heard '' Ohhhh, jiahaoooooooo, ohhhhhhhhh! ''
Then again, in the later part of the practical.
I even broke the glass stirring rod ( I don't know why, too ), and everyone is like losing confidence in me.
They don't allow me to help them due to my carelessness.越帮越忙
I felt quite frustrated at that point of time, I know it's my fault.
But can't you guys just spare a thought for me? I didn't did it on purpose. =/
Fortunately, despite restarting the whole process, we managed to complete ONE candle.
Whereas others have completed more than one and is so beautiful.
Our candles is like lol, but never mind, at least we tried our best.
Second part of the workshop is about making your own fragrance by creating your own scent based on your preference.
For the first perfume bottle, I have added in sandalwood as a base note.
Followed by peppermint as a middle note and lastly, green meadow as a top note.
It smells great okay, not that bad anyway.
Since there is extra bottles, I have tried making it again.
Base note : YlangYlang, Middle note : Pine, Top note : Orange.
And everyone in my class is smelling each other's perfume, haha.
Love today's session(:
