Mmm Mochi & ice cream!!!

2010-12-21T15:53:00.000-08:00

Mmm Mochi!!!

I came across these at the local Trader’s Joe today. My sweet tooth been craving for something cold, decadent, but not overly sweet. These ice cream covered with Mochi were the perfect treat I must confess! Each Mochi can cover the size of an adult palm (women). It’s the perfect serving size and delightful to look at. The best part of this treat is that it’s Dairy free! I’m not a vegan but I prefer dairy free food. Rich milky products leave me feeling heavy and guilty, where as these are made with coconut milk. They are just as creamy without artery clogging richness. Try these if you ever come across them! The Thai mango rice are just as delightful!

This one is coconut flavor inside. Once you bite into the chewy mochi shell you can taste the sweet cold filling.

This one is my favorite! It is Mango flavor. The outside is yellow and the ice cream filling is green but the taste is fruity and citrus!

I didn't take photos of the purple Mochi w/ chocolate filling. Sorry, I gobbled that up before I can shoot it w/ my camera =D

Fluffy Banana Pancake - Vegan friendly

2010-11-02T21:32:00.000-07:00

This is a great recipe for those who ran out of eggs or those pre-made pancake mixes. It's also perfect for you vegans!!! I made this on a lazy weekend when I was hungry for a big brunch. I actually surf the web for some vegan recipe but couldn't find a decent one so I just used the non-veg recipe minus the eggs and milk butter. In replacement to the missing ingredients, I sliced up some ripe bananas =P It came out perfect and delicious!

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour, stirred or sifted before measuring
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 sliced banana
1 1/2 to 1 3/4 cups (cream soy) milk
2 tablespoons melted (soy) butter

Start adding all the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. I use a fork to mix my batter. Next add the wet ingredients. Mix it well with a fork. Add in Bananas or blueberries. You should have a thick consistency like this picture below.

Once you have your batter mixed. Heat the nonstick pan to medium high. Add some "butter". and pour in about half a cup of batter in the center. Cover it until you see the batter evenly bubbly. Open lid and flip once the edges are golden. Leave the lid off.

These Gimme Lean soy-sausages are kick ass yum! If you want to try a meatless approach - you should try these. I usually don't like my vegetarian food to taste or look like meat but I think these are pretty awesome. It really compliments the fluffy pancakes.

They're very squishy so be careful how you handle it. I like to slice mine and pan fry it till it's brown and crispy on the sides. My mouth is watering as I'm typing this it he middle of the night =P*

I salivate for these with maple syrup.... *Homer Simpson moment... mmmmmm...drool...

My little guy was a happy fellow that day =)

ENJOY!!!!!

Fried Banana Roll & Ice Cream!!!

2010-10-20T20:00:00.000-07:00

Many of my viewers told me this was similar to a Pilipino treat called Turon. That just sparked my curiosity to make the real Turon! Anywho! My aunt introduced me to this recipe when I was little and I always loved this treat. I decided to try this one day with my boring vanilla ice cream and OMG!!! It was super delicious! The two goes so well together it’s orgasmic! First of all I like to use the regular banana you can find at any grocery store. It will give you a hot molten gooeyness after frying. Take a sample of that with some hard cold ice cream and you have yourself a match made in heaven! Enjoy!

Veggie Chop Suey

2010-10-08T19:39:00.000-07:00

Hey All,
I’ve been cooking many great recipes lately that I want to share. However my laziness has been getting the best of me to post them.

Okay, so today I had Eric made some yumsky tacos (no recipe yet) and there where left over fillings that I didn’t want to put for waste. It was basically beans and ground seiten (textured soy). I remembered to take some photos this time around. This is a great 30 minute meal, simple for lunch boxes, and kids love this stuff.

Ingredients:

1. ½ cup Cooked red kidney beans (sometimes I use black beans too)

2. ½ Cut onions (garlic is optional)

3. ½ cup minced Setien (looks like ground beef, gimme leans or boca works well)

4. ½ Jar tomato sauce (I sometimes use puree and make my own sauce but when I need something quick I use the already made sauce)

5. 1 box Macaroni or whatever you prefer.

6. Optional- veggies like zucchini or peas.

7. Optional- Table Spoon Nutritional Yeast

Prep:

Step 1. Boil your pasta half cooked then drain into cold water.

Step 2. In a hot skillet pan, toss in your onions till you smell the sweet aroma; then add in the cooked beans and minced seiten (or veggies). Once the seitens are brown, add the tomato sauce. Mix, then cover for 5 minutes.

Step 3. Add the cooked pasta (and Nutritional yeast). Mix. Turn off stove. You’re done!

Out of this world Vegan Treats!!!

2010-08-09T20:02:00.000-07:00

This past weekend the boys and I took a mini trip to visit the in laws down south NJ. One of our top destinations was to stop by Bethlehem, PA. There’s absolutely nothing to do in the little quant town, however… if you are a vegetarian or vegan you would know that’s where “THE” Vegan treats is. This is the ultimate Vegan must go to place! They have all the yummy vegan sweets that a non vegetarian enjoy daily. The cakes were too sweet for my liking but the donuts and cupcakes were kick ass out of this world num num! ohh.. and the sticky buns… omgosh… nummy num ^_^

After enjoying the ice cold vegan soft serve and buying as much as I can stuff in the car… we headed up to NYC! A friend of ours own Peace Café located on 460 Amsterdam st (between 82nd and 83rd st). We order a load of food to sample… the food was delicious, light, and expensive! Haha!

Eating Fruits the proper way?

2010-08-03T21:10:00.000-07:00

This is from a chain email I received from a friend about eating fruits. I have read about this in creditable books therefore I felt it was worthy to post.

EATING FRUIT...

We all think eating fruits means just buying fruits, cutting it and just popping it into our mouths. It's not as easy as you think. It's important to know how and when to eat.

What is the correct way of eating fruits?

IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUITS AFTER YOUR MEALS! * FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY STOMACH.
If you eat fruit like that, it will play a major role to detoxify your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities.

FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD. Let's say you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit. The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but it is prevented from doing so.

In the meantime the whole meal rots and ferments and turns to acid. The minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach and digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil....

So please eat your fruits on an empty stomach or before your meals! You have heard people complaining — every time I eat watermelon I burp, when I eat durian my stomach bloats up, when I eat a banana I feel like running to the toilet, etc — actually all this will not arise if you eat the fruit on an empty stomach. The fruit mixes with the putrefying other food and produces gas and hence you will bloat!

Greying hair, balding, nervous outburst and dark circles under the eyesall these will NOT happen if you take fruits on an empty stomach.

There is no such thing as some fruits, like orange and lemon are acidic, because all fruits become alkaline in our body, according to Dr. Herbert Shelton who did research on this matter. If you have mastered the correct way of eating fruits, you have the Secret of beauty, longevity, health, energy, happiness and normal weight.

When you need to drink fruit juice - drink only fresh fruit juice, NOT from the cans. Don't even drink juice that has been heated up. Don't eat cooked fruits because you don't get the nutrients at all. You only get to taste. Cooking destroys all the vitamins.

But eating a whole fruit is better than drinking the juice. If you should drink the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let it mix with your saliva before swallowing it. You can go on a 3-day fruit fast to cleanse your body. Just eat fruits and drink fruit juice throughout the 3 days and you will be surprised when your friends tell you how radiant you look!

KIWI: Tiny but mighty. This is a good source of potassium, magnesium, vitamin E & fiber. Its vitamin C content is twice that of an orange.

APPLE: An apple a day keeps the doctor away? Although an apple has a low vitamin C content, it has antioxidants & flavonoids which enhances the activity of vitamin C thereby helping to lower the risks of colon cancer, heart attack & stroke.

STRAWBERRY: Protective Fruit. Strawberries have the highest total antioxidant power among major fruits & protect the body from cancer-causing, blood vessel-clogging free radicals.

ORANGE : Sweetest medicine. Taking 2-4 oranges a day may help keep colds away, lower cholesterol, prevent & dissolve kidney stones as well as lessens the risk of colon cancer.

WATERMELON: Coolest thirst quencher. Composed of 92% water, it is also packed with a giant dose of glutathione, which helps boost our immune system. They are also a key source of lycopene — the cancer fighting oxidant. Other nutrients found in watermelon are vitamin C & Potassium.

GUAVA & PAPAYA: Top awards for vitamin C. They are the clear winners for their high vitamin C content.. Guava is also rich in fiber, which helps prevent constipation. Papaya is rich in carotene; this is good for your eyes.

Drinking Cold water after a meal = Cancer! Can u believe this?? For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

A serious note about heart attacks HEART ATTACK PROCEDURE': (THIS IS NOT A JOKE!) Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line. You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. Sixty percent of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know the better chance we could survive.

The Irony of Sunblock & Sunscreen

2010-07-08T20:37:00.000-07:00

A few NON-Chemical Sunscreen: in the order of the most natural to the least.

MelanSol (www.melansol.com)
Yes Carrots
Burts Bee
Blue Lizard
The difference between an SPF25 and a SPF100 is 3%.

We all hear and read in beauty magazines, news articles, and even from our doctors that we need sunscreen/sunblock or we will have skin cancer and die! It’s so ironic how sunscreen/sunblock are made to protect us from harmful rays and preventing us from skin cancer – Yet, the ingredients in some sunscreen/sunblock can increase your risk of cancer and other harmful side effects. Remember how all the SPF bottles says “blocks UVB rays”? Well UVB rays are actually known to help our bodies absorb vitamin D naturally, which is an essential vitamin to help our bones develop. Too much UVB can be damaging too. UVA ray is the harmful ray that’s also linked to cancer. So why isn’t that one blocked? because sunscreen/sunblock were never proven to prevent anything, it was just a claim from careless greedy dermatologist.

We need to remember that we are living in a fast paced world, where money can buy government. Heck, what else can it buy? Therefore at the end of the day every man and women are out to watch out for themselves. We need to take control of our lives educate ourselves. Luckily and thankfully we still have that freedom in the world wide web, books, and independent studies. Get a second opinion, research, educate yourself because you should not put your life into anyone else’s hands.

With that being said. A few harmful ingredients to watch out for.

PABA and PABA esters (ethyl dihydroxy propyl PAB, glyceryl PABA, p-aminobenzoic acid, padimate-O or octyl dimethyl PABA Benzophenones (dixoybenzone, oxybenzone)

Homosalte

Octyl-methoxy cinnamate (OMC)

4-Methylbenzylidene Camphor (4-mbc)

Cinnamates (cinoxate, ethylhexyl p-methoxycinnamate, octocrylene, octyl methoxycinnamate)

Salicylates (ethylhexyl salicylate, homosalate, octyl salicylate)

Digalloyl trioleate

Menthyl anthranilate

“Avobenzone (Parsol 1789) May Not Be Safe Either

In 1997, Europe, Canada, and Australia changed sunscreens to use three specific active sunscreen ingredients - avobenzone (also known as Parsol 1789), titanium dioxide, and zinc oxide - as the basis of sunscreens. In the USA, the cosmetic companies have held off this policy as they try to sell off their stockpiles of cosmetics containing toxic sunscreens banned in other countries.

However, avobenzone is a powerful free radical generator and also should have been banned. Avobenzone is easily absorbed through the epidermis and is still a chemical that absorbs ultraviolet radiation energy. Since it cannot destroy this energy, it has to convert the light energy into chemical energy, which is normally released as free radicals. While it blocks long-wave UVA, it does not effectively UVB or short-wave UVA radiation, and is usually combined with other sunscreen chemicals to produce a "broad-spectrum" product. In sunlight, avobenzone degrades and becomes ineffective within about 1 hour.” http://www.skinbiology.com/toxicsunscreens.html

All these chemicals proved in studies to damage skin cells, fudge with your DNA, alter your estrogen, screw your sexual development and functions, increase cancer, ADHD, allergies, produce skin aging, etc… the list goes on and maybe 2 year later we’ll find out that boys became girls.

Not only is this stuff harmful for your body but the whole eco system. When you swim in the ocean, it washes off your skin and into the ocean it goes. Many of the chemical compounds I have listed have messed up a increasing number of fish’s sexuality and even made it’s way up to Alaska in seals and Polar bears. If you can care less about the animals and your planet, well think again because that stuff got into your water! Yup you heard right, your drinking water!

You’re probably wondering what the heck you can do now. You still want to look tan and “healthy” but you’re afraid to use sunscreen? Well, it comes back to common sense. Listen to your body, your body that reacts when something isn’t right. Like the time you had food poisoning from eating at that nasty chain food restaurant. If you have enough vitamin D then you have enough! Get a hat, long sleeve wicking top, or simply go indoor.

Healthy Summer Smoothies - Vegan & Lactose intolerance

2010-06-20T12:53:00.000-07:00

I find commercial smoothies to be full of sugar even when they claim to be “healthy”. It is so unnecessary to add in that much sweetness when fruits are naturally sweet and delicious. What is the point of making a fruit smoothie when all the natural flavors are dominated with sugar and extra artificial flavors?

Looking at those mouth watering posters of colorful smoothies and then actually tasting them was pretty disappointing. So I finally came up with my own recipe of what a real smoothie should be like and it is super easy and a lot tastier! I will show you the 3 main ingredients I used and also introduce you to other ingredients to help modify your smoothie into healthier alternative. Perfect for Vegan and lactose intolerance Victims- Enjoy!

You will need for 2 servings…

1) 1 ripe banana. This will give it a naturally creamy taste.

2) 1 cup Fruits of your choice, I recommend to wash, cut, and freeze it. This will make your smoothie thicker and slushy. Awesome for hot summer day!

3) Rice, almond, or soy milk.

*You CAN use cows milk. I personally do not find it healthy. Cows milk are unbelievable fattening! The dairy industry is a billion dollar industry that can pay any greedy doctor and celebrity to tell you - you need calcium when in fact you can get calcium in your greens. Milk is full of fats, antibiotics, hormones, puss, and a lot of other yucky stuff. Do the research for yourself, just don’t get your information from studies own by the dairy industry.

4) Optional: Hemp protein for those who works
out, coconut soy creamer, or Agave nectar for extra sweetness.

If I get organic, I will most likely use that over conventional products. All products can be purchase at healthy food stores, Wholefoods, Traders Joe, or local superstores. These products are pretty affordable.

Instructions: Toss in fruits (hemp protein if needed), then pour in milk half way from where you see the fruits. Blend! Volla! Enjoy!

Hearty Vegan Lasagna

2010-06-13T16:46:00.000-07:00

I have no craving for regular cheese lasagna whatsoever. In fact when I was just a regular vegetarian that eats dairy on occasion I would prefer to make Vegan Lasagna (means no dairy, cheese, or other animal by products). It tastes a lot lighter and I definitely do not feel heavy after eating. The one thing I do not miss about dairy stuff is the feeling of heartburn or uneasiness. If you aren’t a vegetarian and wants to eat a lot cleaner or healthier, I suggest you give this a try! You can still have your Lasagna and eat it!

My personal favorite Cheeze Recipe:

2 containers or blocks of TOFU (I use firm, soft tofu will get too liquidy)

1 block of vegan mozzarella cheese of your choice (can be purchase at health food store or Wholefoods)

Steamed Spinach (optional)

Nutritional Yeast (for added nutrition - adds a light nutty flavor)

Directions: In a large mixing bowl, Mix the tofu, vegan cheese, and nutritional yeast (optional) together. You probably need to cut it into chunks first, then mix the two. You can heat the tofu and cheeze together for 1 minute if you’re not using steamed spinach. If you are using freshly heated steamed spinach, the heat from the spinach will melt the cheese in with the mix.

The rest of the recipe are similar to making a regular Lasagna. I use freshly cut broccoli and zucchini topped over the cheeze . I also sprinkled so Gimme Lean sausage bits in with the sauce. Delish!

Fresh Basil from my garden on the patio!

I love vegetables!!!

The finish product!

Side of garlic roasted asparagus and cute tiny potatoes! The lasagna looked sloppy because we didn't give it time to cool off- so it was still too fresh for the plates!

Recent Destination

2010-06-02T20:12:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys!

My recent trip was to Howe’s Cave in upstate New York. This would be my second cave exploration. I find Howe’s Cave to be a little too commercial compared to Crystal cave in California. It was well lit with a full brick walk way for tourist. The cave has been dynamite for the purpose of tourist where as Crystal cave keep things close to natural as can be. I prefer places that show a little more respect to nature but anywho! The cave was very pretty and pretty long. It was 50 degree cool and toward the end was a boat ride. Here’s a few photos of the cave.

I love visiting places with natural landscapes and scenery. I wouldn’t say I want to travel the world because (1) I hate flying and (2) There are some really sad places on earth. However I would love to see all of earth’s most enchanting creations before man takes over every piece imaginable. Okay... not to get pessimistic but I’ve been seeing traces of people in every corner I walked. Everywhere I go I see plastic bottles, paper towels, McDonalds, graffiti, etc... I’m not talking about walking on the streets but in the woods!

10 Things to Do with Cucumbers!

2010-04-05T08:47:00.000-07:00

Here's a few interesting things you can share to your friends out of the blue =) Topic of the day... cucumbers!!! yummy =D

1. Cucumbers contain most of the vitamins you need every day, just one cucumber contains Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6,Folic Acid, Vitamin C, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium and Zinc.

2. Feeling tired in the afternoon, put down the caffeinated soda and pick up a cucumber. Cucumbers are a good source of B Vitamins and Carbohydrates that can provide that quick pick-me-up that can last for hours.

3. Tired of your bathroom mirror fogging up after a shower? Try rubbing a cucumber slice along the mirror, it will eliminate the fog and provide a soothing, spa-like fragrance.

4. Looking for a fast and easy way to remove cellulite before going out or to the pool? Try rubbing a slice or two of cucumbers along your problem area for a few minutes, the phytochemicals in the cucumber cause the collagen in your skin to tighten, firming up the outer layer and reducing the visibility of cellulite. Works great on wrinkles too!!!

5. Want to avoid a hangover or terrible headache? Eat a few cucumber slices before going to bed and wake up refreshed and headache free. Cucumbers contain enough sugar, B vitamins and electrolytes to replenish essential nutrients the body lost, keeping everything in equilibrium, avoiding both a hangover and headache!!

6. Have an important meeting or job interview and you realize that you don't have enough time to polish your shoes? Rub a freshly cut cucumber over the shoe, its chemicals will provide a quick and durable shine that not only looks great but also repels water.

7. Out of WD 40 and need to fix a squeaky hinge? Take a cucumber slice and rub it along the problematic hinge, and voila, the squeak is gone!

8. Stressed out and don't have time for massage, facial or visit to the spa? Cut up an entire cucumber and place it in a boiling pot of water, the chemicals and nutrients from the cucumber with react with the boiling water and be released in the steam, creating a soothing, relaxing aroma that has been shown the reduce stress in new mothers and college students during final exams.

9. Just finish a business lunch and realize you don't have gum or mints? Take a slice of cucumber and press it to the roof of your mouth with your tongue for 30 seconds to eliminate bad breath, the phytochemcials will kill the bacteria in your mouth responsible for causing bad breath.

10. Using a pen and made a mistake? Take the outside of the cucumber and slowly use it to erase the pen writing, also works great on crayons and markers that the kids have used to decorate the walls!!

If I didn’t have Love, I would probably be Lost

2010-03-25T15:33:00.000-07:00

Today I met a variety of crazy strangers at the office. First came a mother and daughter duo. The daughter had filed her taxes at my office and something happen to her tax return that was out of my jurisdiction. Basically someone claimed her dependent. Of course these people have no clue when it comes to explaining the problem. Heck, they didn’t come to listen- they came to take their frustration out on someone and that person was me. The mother came in frantically screaming in Spanish about Gods know what, while the daughter stood there in embarrassment. After many attempt to explain, I had it. I basically told the insane women to get her act together or get out! It worked and they finally cooperate.

Next came the snob. A tall dark, well dressed gentleman comes in the office to complete his paperwork. Someone had worked on his file weeks before me. First time I met the guy and his paperwork happened to be misplaced somewhere in my office. I made a good effort to look for his files in with the many files. The man had no patience but to hiss and complain about how I was taking up his time. People really do not know how to appreciate anything or anyone. If I was sitting on my ass and telling him I can’t find his stuff I can see how he can get mad but I was “trying” to help him. I made sure to kill him with kindness before he left. Dude was embarrassed for acting like an fool in the end.

There are 2 kinds of people that walk into the office, the rude and then the pleasant ones. The rude ones live off rubbing their frustration onto others. The pleasant people are those who probably don’t have the most perfect life but can give you such lasting joy. I wonder if people ever ask themselves what kind of person are they? Are you an ass or are you lovely?

A few of my favorite quotes:

“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.” -Philo

“Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.” - Mark Twain

The perfect Spring Delight

2010-03-19T17:37:00.000-07:00

Ahhh... the perfect Spring food =P I can say super tasty and healthy in one sentence for this dish/appetizer. I had this for lunch and dinner yesterday. The reason why I love Vietnamese spring rolls so much is because of it's abundance in flavors and stuffed with fresh herbs. You can stuff your rolls with almost anything you like. The main ingredients are fresh herbs, vermicelli noodles, and sprouts. Non vegetarian folks like to stuff their spring rolls with shrimp and onion leaves. I'm a vegetarian so I like to use textured soy which is super yummy as well!

photo from http://veganforthepeople.blogspot.com/

I forgot to take photos of my actual spring roll because of course I was too busy eating it. But here are some photos of the main ingredients. If you’re looking for a good social food, this is it! You can set all the ingredients on your table and have your guest choose whatever he/she desire and roll! Oh yea, I love to eat my spring rolls with Hoisin sauce, which are sold at Asian stores.

Thanks to my hubby for taking these photos. We were testing our new rebel.

2009-12-29T18:54:00.000-08:00

Hey Everyone! I hope you all will have a wonderful 2010. Remember to party safely and carefully. Don't let friends drive drunk and don't put your friends in danger =)

How was your Holiday? I took a vaca from cyber world as you can tell this past week. Everything seemed like it's been fast forward this year. This Holiday was bitter sweet for me. The bitter part is that our family celebrated our first X-mas without my father. He passed away this summer and we're all still dealing with the lost. On another note the sweet part is having a new nephew. He was born 3 days before Christmas. It was nice to have such a wonderful gift like him this year.

A little update: From Jan-mid April, I will be super busy with work. That's the busiest time of the year for business. At least ours anyways. My hubby and I are professional tax preparer and so of course tax season is coming up. There are two things guaranteed in life... death and taxes! You can run but you can never hide from the IRS. Lots of tax changes this year so I think we'll defiantly be busy. I have to put my work pants back on and get cracking.

I will still try to continue my styling videos but w/ some changes. The videos will be more interactive and less edited. I think blogging and making Youtube videos are the things keeping me sane. I need to be creative and I love expressing myself. I still need work even if it’s super boring. Well, we all have to make money and pay the bills I guess.

coming up for 2010...

Thrifty DIY - another Jewelry display

2009-12-20T10:10:00.000-08:00

Last weekend I stopped by the Salvation Army to drop off some goodies and I thought maybe I should dig for some treasures since I was already there. I found this candle holder for $2.99! It makes a pretty candle holder but a better earring fixture. A girl can never have enough jewelry displays.

I was out growing the last one I showed you. Ladies, always keep your eyes open for little things like this. This one in particular has an eastern influence with some cut out metal detailing; very intricate and pratical for hanging earrings next to each other. I’m so loving this because it really adds a extra something to my room.

Get More Lipsticks and colors out of your lipsticks

2009-11-10T12:54:00.000-08:00

Here's a quick and easy method to make the most use of your lipstick. At the same time you can save some money from buying more. If you like to mix your lip colors together this will make it a lot easier. This also make it very convenient to attain your desire shade.

First I cut it off and scoop it out with a popsicle stick, then I either mix or break it into chunks.

To apply the lipstick on I simply use a synthetic painting brush since good quality lip brushes can cost up to $10 per brush. I purchased mine at a crafts store which only cost me $3.00 - and it works perfectly. ^_^

The Containers are purchased on Ebay. You can find other alternative in craft stores or use your old gloss containers. Remember to peel off the color names and stick it to the back for future references.

Make your own Volcanic Face Mask

2009-11-04T18:22:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I went shopping with a mission and that is to buy “A” foundation. I happen to stop by MAC and ended up buying more than what I came for. The sales girl did a really good job. She sold me on something that sounded so amazing and exotic I almost felt special buying it. It’s a volcanic face mask. Wow! How cool is putting something from a volcano onto your face right?

I was so excited to take it home and try it out. I’ve seen youtube videos about how great this thing was and that it was a limited edition. OOoh, limited edition, it’s so special! So I followed the instructions on the back of the box. When I put the black stuff on I instantly felt a warm sensation! I thought to myself… wow it’s already working. So after 10 minutes I washed it off and my face did really felt clean but when I really thought about it… I was like… wait a minute. Any facemask can make me feel this way.

Basically facemask covers the outer layer of your skin and when you peel or wash it off, the dirty stuff comes off with it. Some labels may swear that their products have pure nutrients that will absorb into your skin and leave it looking healthy is pretty much another sales ploy. We all long for flawless skin so therefore our ears are open to what we want to hear. Our skin cannot absorb nutrients in 5-10 minutes. Therefore adding extra ingredients do not give us much benefit. That does not mean face mask are not good for you. It just simply means, spend your hard earned money wisely.

The main ingredient to a Volcanic face mask is Bentonite clay. It’s a natural clay that can be found anywhere in the world however there’s a large concentration of it found in North America. Indigenous people used this clay in the past for medicinal purpose. Benetonite clay is known for absorbing toxins out of the body. People actually eat this stuff to clean and detox their body! It’s a very effective internal cleanser used by practitioner of alternative medicine. Animals also lie down in or roll in the clay to heal any outer wounds.

This clay can be found at health food stores for $7-$15/pound. To use it as a face or hair mask you would mix it with enough water to get a pasty consistency. Then cover your face (avoid the eyes). 10-15 minutes rinse. This is as natural as it gets. I would rather use this than store brands that has preservative and extra ingredients.

Ginger is good for the belly:

2009-10-23T17:51:00.000-07:00

With the changing weather and the transition from fall to winter, we see lots of symptoms of cold or flu like sore throat and sniffling. Instead of over the counter cold medicines that just help with the symptoms, I am going to suggest a natural remedy. This may not cure your sickness but it can make a difference in how you cope with the symptoms. Ginger is a common root that we are all familiar with. It has a unique spicy flavor and warm aroma. Just smelling a freshly cut piece can relieve some tension from a bad headache. It’s a great addition to add into soup to give a unique and robust flavor and inviting scent.

The properties in ginger are absolutely phenomenal. Many cultures , especially Asian herbalists, have been using this root to cure many health problems for centuries. The Chinese culture believes that it carries a Yang energy that warms the lungs and stomach. I personally think it does!

Ginger contains shogaols and gingerols (produced when dried or cooked). These properties found in ginger also helps in neutralizing the acids in our stomach by stimulating the secretion of digestive juices and toning the digestive’s tract muscles. That is why when people feel nauseated, an old grandmothers remedy is a drink of ginger ale. It’s also great to drink ginger tea if you have food poisoning.
The volatile oils in ginger makes up the pungent and spicy taste. Ginger carries great properties such as antiseptics and antioxidants. Some of the benefits of eating ginger are reducing inflammation infections, diarrhea, preventing heart attack, flu, colds, sore throats and many more.

Here is a ginger tea recipe I often use for upset stomach or common colds
Organic and fresh Ginger is defiantly preferred.

I like to boil 2-3 cups of water with 3-4 slices of ginger root.

The amount of slices depends on how fresh and strong the ginger is- I use less slices with fresh ginger because the flavor is a lot stronger. You may want to start with a piece of ginger the size of your thumb and add more if you feel it is necessary.

2009-10-05T18:10:00.000-07:00

Please see my tutorial at the bottom of the page.

From migitch1

"Hello I hope you enjoy my mask and also the costume I have pretty much finished putting together. I will give you a quick description of the costume pieces, the pants are miley cyrus fake leather leggings from walmart-$10, the top is a muscle shirt that I cut 1 shoulder off and hemmed the remainder. I made my own half gloves from some old winter leather gloves of my mom that I cut and hemmed up. The shoulder spikes and hip spikes are made from cardboard, paper mached over that and finally spray-painted flat black and one of them a dulled gold. I just have some black material for the bandana, and a wig that I am going to cut into pieces, braid together and stick up under the bandana. The mask was made similarly to yours, except I spent alot of time looking for one that really was as large on the sides and top versus all the other ones I had been seeing. (http://www.costumes4less.com/Venetian-Couple-Mask_FM56292_Prod.aspx), but I still ended up adding foam to the top of the mask...thanks to your idea....and then just cut the plastic mirror with scissors and hot glued them on. The bracelet I made from the same mirror material and hot glued them to a piece of the foam that I adjusted to fit my arm. I then put hot glue on every other shard on the bracelet and covered it with silver glitter. Its a little more blingy than the actual bracelet but its the only thing I could think of that would work yet not take forever to do and also be cheap. The bracelet may also look a little non-reflective and thats just because I have not removed the film covering the mirror shards. I also have the pictures of the mirror material I used, both the brand of it and a shot of the box that should be on the shelf in walmart stores."

Thanks again for sharing with us ^_^

Exfoliate: Homemade Coffee Scrub

2009-08-27T07:57:00.000-07:00

In today’s time Coffee is commonly used in skin creams and lotions because of it’s high level in caffeine. There is a wide usage of coffee in many beauty products over the counter and in fancy department stores. Caffeine is the key ingredient taken from coffee to obtain beautiful looking skin. It operates in three ways.

1)Antioxidant – works in canceling out cell damaging effects of free radicals. It’s also known to lower the risk of many health problems such as heart and neurological diseases.
2)Vasoconstrictor- helps in shrinking the blood vessels. Not permanent.
3)Diuretic- will help absorb the water your body retains. Caffeine also dehydrates the body.

Other usage in Coffee:

It’s a great astringent in diminishing acne and blemishes. It can work as a reliable cleanser in neutralizing and absorbing any odor the body produces.
The aroma of coffee is also thought to stimulate perkiness of the skin. Some believes is helps reduce and prevent , premature aging, and skin cancer. Coffee is also a barrier to harmful UVA/UVB sun rays. This is why many sunscreen products used coffee in their ingredients. It’s skin healing properties are to revitalize skin cells, soothes irritations, and mend broken skin.
By using the caffeine in Coffee to exfoliate the body it stimulate and circulate the micro-cellular which breaks up the fatty deposits that often becomes “cellulite”.

Directions:

1) Use about 3/4 to 1 cup of ground Coffee
2) Mix in 1/2 cup Brown Sugar or unrefined Sugar
3) 2-4 tablespoon Massage Oil

*Extra add a hint of cinnamon or Almond extract to smell yummy.

Mix well. In shower or bath tub, wet your whole body. Apply scrub in circular motions onto wet skin. Once you cover your whole body, rinse with mild soap and enjoy.

Natural Face Toner for Acne prone Skin

2009-08-12T19:21:00.000-07:00

From stopping allergy to shedding pounds, Apple Cider Vinegar is known to do wonders for the body. It is the least processed out of the other vinegars. A.C.V goes through 2 fermentation process. In the first process it is fermented through the juice which becomes the cider and then ferments to A.C.V. It contains many antiseptic properties, amino acids, enzymes, and alpha-hydroxy which helps dissolved dead skin cells. It also helps circulate the blood flow and balance your pH level on your skin.

Some celebrities use A.C.V to suppressed their appetite in hopes of losing weight. Others used this to treat insect bites, hair lost, and lower their blood pressure. For me, I choose to use it for my skin.

This recipe is great for acne prone skin. Try to use the most natural and organic kind you can pick up. The less processed the more beneficial it will be for you. A.C.V contains acetic acid which stimulates the capillaries under your skin, leaving it radiant after application.

Directions: In a Jar, mix together 1/3 cup of A.C.V, 1/3 cup green tea (helps with the smell), and 1/3 cup filtered water. Mix it well. Use a cotton pad and dab on your face.

Detox Bath Recipe

2009-08-04T22:42:00.000-07:00

Every now and then we should detox our body from all the material things we endure and rub on it. This is a great Detox bath recipe I came upon.

*Do not take a hot bath or a detox bath if you are pregnant, or have heart, or any other health issues. This article is for educational purposes only and is not meant to diagnose, treat, cure or otherwise take the place of the advice of your licensed healthcare practitione

1. Prepare your bath on a day that you have at least 40 minutes available, as the first 20 minutes are said to help your body remove the toxins, while the second 20 minutes are for absorbing the minerals in the water.
2. Fill your tub with comfortably hot water, using a chlorine filter if possible.
3. Add 2 cups or more (up to 16 lbs) of Epsom Salts, aka magnesium sulphate. This can be purchased in 3 lb bags or 1 lb cartons at discount stores in the garden center, or in the pharmaceutical area, or ordered from garden centers in 50 lb bags. It's very inexpensive.
4. Add 1 to 2 cups or more of Baking Soda, aka sodium bicarbonate. This is said to help eliminate the chlorine in the water, as well as soften the water, and help the body to absorb the magnesium. Large bags can usually be found in the swimming pool chemical area, or the boxes from the bakery aisle will work fine.
5. Know that Epsom Salts and Baking Soda bath is a detox bath in and of itself, other items can be added for further effects. Ground ginger, or fresh ginger tea both work quite well. The ginger is heating to the body and may cause your skin to turn slightly red for a few minutes, so be careful with the amount you add. Depending on the capacity of your tub, and your sensitivity, anywhere from 1 tablespoon to 1/3 cup can be added. Most people sweat profusely with the addition of the ginger, and if you wrap your body in a blanket immediately after getting out of the tub, you can continue to detoxify through perspiration for another couple of hours. This is especially beneficial if you are trying to rid the body of a bug of some sort, like the flu, or a cold.
6. Add aromatherapy oils; this is optional, but there are many oils that will help the bath to be a pleasant and relaxing experience, such as lavendar, or ylang ylang, or those that will assist in the detoxification process such as tea tree or eucalyptus. Around 20 drops is sufficient.
7. Swish all of the ingredients into the tub, and soak for as long as you can, preferably 20 minutes. You should start sweating within the first few minutes, and the longer the better, up to 20 minutes. If you feel too hot, start adding cold water into the tub until you cool off. Sit in the cool water another 20 minutes, if you can. When you get out of the tub, move slowly and carefully, as your body has been working hard and you may get lightheaded or feel weak and drained.

Best Find of July!

2009-07-31T14:04:00.000-07:00

If this deodorant works on me it will work on anyone. I’ve been through soo many deodorants it almost got dangerous. With all that Paraben and Aluminum in the commercial products, I started using brands from the health foods stores. None of it did me justice.

My mother in law got into mineral salt recently and she bought a Thai crystal rock deodorant. I read the label which says “Hypoallergenic, Fragrance & Paraben Free”. Then, I read the ingredient which was only one thing. Mineral Salt! So I picked one up for myself at the local Wholefoods store for $8.00! Pretty expensive but it was well worth it. Once I tried it, it instantly worked. I am odor free!!!

instructions: simply wet the rock salt, glide it onto clean skin, and let dry for a few seconds. Even if you use this daily it will last about a year!

Nature’s Skin Toner/ Blemish be Gone!

2009-07-30T20:56:00.000-07:00

Ever had curry? The yellow color in the curry is from “Turmeric” powder. Native to South Asia, Turmeric is another miracle plant from the ginger family. It has tons of valuable health and beauty benefits.

I remembered as a child my mother would walk around the house with yellow spots all over her face. Now I’m the one doing this. Whenever I had a booboo she would make a yellowish paste and put it over my wound. She always tells me the paste would take away my ugly scars.

Turmeric is often used in foods, health, and many natural remedies. I definitely like to use this for any scratches on the skin or acne blemishes. You can also use the paste as a toner. Turmeric powder is also antiseptic and very sterile. It’s affordable to get at Asian stores or your local super market in the spice section.

Directions on how to use:

1) Mix 1 tspn (varies by how much you need) turmeric powder with lemon or cucumber juice until you get a pasty consistency.
2) Dap or rub onto your clean skin where the wound or blemish is.
3) Leave on for 15-20 minutes, and rinse off.

DO NOT DO THIS JUST ONCE. You will see results if you do this on a consistent schedule.

Painless Teeth whitening technique (Great for Smokers)

2009-07-29T10:29:00.000-07:00

Most likely if you’re healthy you will not see much of a difference. Smokers often see instant whitening.

Oil pulling is an Indian remedy used to swoosh and clean the mouth, gum, teeth. This is often done to prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and help prevent other medical conditions, such as stiff joints, allergies, high blood pressure, etc. Basically this is another form of detoxing our body from the crap we put in our bodies.

Every part of our tongue is connected to our stomach, spine, kidneys, bladder, and other intestines. Oil pulling helps stimulate the connections between our tongue/mouth and organs and prevent dryness. According to Dr Deepak Chopra from Perfect Health, this process is known to “purify the taste-buds and the entire system".

Directions:

You will need either sesame or sunflower oil (find the most natural unrefined and organic you can). Do not eat, drink, or brush your teeth before doing this (If so, wait at least 4hours).

1) As soon as you wake up take 1 TBSP unrefined organic sesame or sunflower oil. With chin tilted back, swoosh the oil between ALL your teeth, on your tongue, and the lining inside your mouth for 15-20 minutes. DO NOT GARGLE NEAR THROAT.

2) Spit (DO NOT SWALLOW), and if the oil still looks yellow then you are doing it wrong. Your spit should look like thin white foam.

3) Rinse

4) Drink 2-3 glass of water.

*symptoms and side effects can indicate your body is in the process of healing. But if your instinct tells you something is not right then stop.

Natural Remedy for Dry Skin, Itchy Scalp, Rashes, etc...

2009-07-27T21:17:00.000-07:00

Our skin is the largest organ and it acts as a protective shield on our body. However it also absorbed products that we put on it. There are many skin products out there in stores. Some beauty labels says "natural", some says "anti-aging". It sure sounds tempting to buy them all but do we really want to pollute our own body?

How do you think birth control or nicotine patches work? Our skin is porous and when it absorb the synthetic or maybe harsh chemicals, it may not break it down correctly and keep stored somewhere in our bodies which can possibly result to illnesses, diseases or irritations. What if I tell you I found something with one ingredient, but not fancy and actually works pretty well?

Natural Organic Extra Virgin Coconut oil (most natural) seems to do wonders for the skin. There are many studies out there about the benefits of coconut oil that you can find. I personally have great results from using it. I use in on my skin, scalp, and hair. It absorbed very well, not greasy as the other oils, smells delicious and heals my mosquito bits very well. The instant I put it on my itchy scalp I felt the relieve. My bug bits stop bothering me too! It gives a great glow and shine. Great on the kids too.

Pure Unrefined Coconut oil can also be used for cooking as well. It's actually healthy! It's commonly mistaken for high in fats. Which is true but there are good and the bad fats. I will not get into that. There is just soo much to know about the benefits of using and eating coconut oil. You'll have to get a book to read it all. Anyways, studies also claims by using it it delays sagging and wrinkling of the skin. It also helps if you have skin problems like eczema and other skin infections. Coconut oil also gets rid of dandruff and helps restore damaged hair. Of course you'll have to use it consistently and not just once.

If you want to try it out. You can get this at any health food store or your local wholefoods.

Hair conditioning and scalp treatment (said to be a stress reliever):

1) Start with clean damp hair

2) Use a separate container to pour coconut oil in and big enough for you to dip your fingers in. (depending on the length of your hair you may use between 2-4 tablespoon)

3) Massage oil onto your scalp and work your way throughout your hair.

4) After all is cover and you feel relaxed. Take a warm hair towel and wrap it around your head.

5) 20-30 minutes, follow by a gentle shampoo. Air dry.
