Fondant Dessert Plates

barbara

A friend of mine who works in a metal building often lament that she is not happy with her job and wish that she could do just what she loves best – Open a cafe.  She loves to bake and often has little tea parties for her friends.  She has been feeling rather unhappy lately so in order to cheer her up, I got her a gift.  I saw this box of Cath Kidston Cupcake Liners from Shopruce.com recently and know that my friend is going to love them. This vintage inspired cupcake liners come in sky blue with white polka dots, coral with white stars, pink with white polka dots, and light green with white stars.   The cupcakes will definitely look tastier in these cute liners.

My To-Do List

barbara

Things have been pretty hectic for the past week.  There was a get-together over the weekend, dinner with friends, errands to run and not to mention grocery shopping.  Besides all that, I need to help a friend to look for life insurance online quotes and also try to make this DIY Citrus Salt Scrub.  I saw this fantastic recipe at Pinterest ( via http://www.kristanlynn.com)  it looks pretty easy to make.  If it turns out good, I think I would make a few jars for my girlfriends whom I would be meeting next month.  If you would like to give it a try, check out the recipe below.

You will need:

1 cup of sea salt

1/4 cup almond oil (can substitute olive oil or vegetable oil)

1/2 tsp lemon juice (or zest)

1/2 tsp orange zest
scrub

Mix:

Firstly,  mix the oil and sea salt together  (Add a bit of oil at a time, you may not need all that is called for!)

Add orange zest.

Drizzle the lemon juice over the salt and oil mix ((you do not want too much lemon juice, or else your mixture will become a watery consistency.)

Mix well.

How to exfoliate:

Clean body as normal in shower.
Just before getting out, apply salt scrub in a firm circular motion all over body.
Concentrating on those knees and elbows
Rinse and pat dry with towel.

Squeeze Lemons Without The Mess

I use lemons very often for my salad dinner.  While lemon is filled with lots of goodness, I do not enjoy squeezing it.   I get the juice everywhere and then I would have to pick out the pips.  Thank God for this Lemon Squeezer which I came upon yesterday.  A very useful tool for the kitchen.  It is available at Gnr8.biz. With this handy Lemon Squeezer, you can squeeze the lemon without squirting juice and pips everywhere.
